Israeli strikes across Lebanon Saturday killed 23 people and injured 93 others, the country’s health ministry said on Sunday. Around 40 per cent of Lebanon’s 1.25 million schoolchildren have been displaced by ongoing Israeli airstrikes, according to Imad Achkar, the director general of education. FLASHBACK 2023: Day 1 If Americans Knew reported: (October 7th, 2023) Palestinian resistance launches surprise attack on Israel After decades of Israeli occupation and human rights abuses, and after a 20-month-long mass nonviolent effort, Palestinians in Gaza launched a surprise operation against Israel on early Saturday morning, October 7th. Its scale is unprecedented, involving aerial, sea and ground operations. Details are only beginning to emerge. Israel immediately began bombing Gaza and has turned off electricity to the enclave, leaving most of its two million inhabitants in the dark and hospitals dangerously impacted. There are now 200 Israelis dead, 9000 injured, and an unknown number captured; and 232 Palestinians dead and 1,600 injured. Israeli forces, partly funded by the $13 million dollars per day that U.S. politicians have voted for them, are one of the world’s most powerful militaries, their weaponry vastly dwarfing Palestinians’. Today’s Palestinian land incursions largely consisted of individuals riding motorcycles and pickup trucks. WHY DID THEY DO IT? Hamas spokesperson Khaled Qadomi told Al Jazeera that the group’s military operation is in “response to all the atrocities the Palestinians have faced over the decades,” and the Hamas deputy chief said the group is engaged “in a battle for freedom.” Hamas military chief Muhammad Deif explained: “We have decided to put an end to all of the occupation’s crimes”; senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh indicated that recent provocations at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem were a major reason for the surprise attack. Other Israeli provocations include increased violence against Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers, Israel’s treatment of Palestinian prisoners, and a spike in killings of Palestinians by the Israeli military. 2023 was the deadliest year on record for Palestinians in the West Bank, including for children. Hamas fighters broke down the barrier wall that imprisons Gaza and entered several Israeli communities near the border. They took over 200 prisoners, which they hope to exchange for Palestinian prisoners, and also captured a number of Israeli military vehicles. After being surprised by the scope of the Palestinian offensive, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced, “Citizens of Israel, we are at war [and will] fight back on a scale and intensity that the enemy has so far not experienced. The enemy will pay an unprecedented price.” In Gaza, Israeli warplanes reportedly destroyed a 5-story residential building, hit a hospital, and targeted an ambulance. Some media outlets refer to the Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists” – but under international law, armed resistance is the right of occupied people. Israel's war has left the Gaza Strip in ruins and killed over 40,000 Palestinians, including 16,000 children.

(Getty) Israeli troops bombard, besiege northern Gaza as ethnic cleansing unfolds AntiWar reports: The Israeli military has launched a fresh assault on northern Gaza and ordered all Palestinian civilians living in the north to head south, signaling Israel may be enacting an ethnic cleansing plan that has been reviewed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Known as the “general’s plan” since it was drawn up by retired IDF generals, the plan would result in the complete ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from areas in Gaza north of the Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land controlled by the Israeli military that separates Gaza City and other parts of the north from the south. Itsik Zuaret, a reporter for Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, said the general’s plan was underway. “In the future, the entire northern area of ​​the Gaza Strip will be cleansed according to the general’s plan,” he wrote on X. The first step of the plan is to transfer the estimated 300,000 Palestinian civilians out of northern Gaza, then impose a full siege on the north to starve out remaining Hamas fighters and other Palestinians who remain. Northern Gaza would be declared a “closed military zone,” meaning anyone who remains will be targeted by the IDF. Palestinian leaders are encouraging residents of the north to stay, reminding them there is no safe place in Gaza. ANADOLU AGENCY ADDS: At least 30 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes on northern Gaza early Sunday, marking the deadliest Israeli escalation since May. Palestinian medics reported that 30 bodies and several injured people were transported to hospitals in northern Gaza following Israeli airstrikes that struck Jabalia and Beit Lahia. NOTE: In 1948, Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and exiled them permanently to Gaza and other locations in what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba (“catastrophe”). Many Palestinians see the current situation as another Nakba – already 75% of the population of Gaza has been internally displaced – and fear that they will never be allowed to return to their homes. Forced transfer of a people group is a crime against humanity.

Alzaanin – Anadolu Agency]) Report: US To Give Israel ‘Compensation’ If It Hits Only US-Approved Targets in Iran AntiWar reports: The US has offered Israel a “compensation package” if it avoids hitting certain targets in its planned attack on Iran, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday, citing the Israeli TV channel Kan 11. Amichai Stein, a correspondent for Kan 11, said the package would include military aid and a guarantee that the US would provide total diplomatic support. “An American official said, ‘If you don’t hit targets A, B, C, we will provide you with diplomatic protection and an arms package,” Chair said. “Israeli officials responded saying, ‘We consider the United States and listen to them. But we will do anything and everything we can to protect the citizens and the security of the State of Israel.’” The US is coordinating with Israel on its plans to respond to the Iranian missile barrage that hit Israel last week, which came in response to several Israeli escalations throughout the region, including the July 31 assassination of Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran. The US has said it will ensure Iran faces “severe consequences” but has warned against certain types of attacks, including attacks on Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities. President Biden said the US and Israel were discussing the idea of strikes on Iranian oil sites, but later said if he was in Israel’s shoes, he would be thinking about “other alternatives than striking oil fields.” NOTE: Mainstream media and pro-Israel leaders ignore the context of Iran’s attack, framing it instead as somehow unprovoked. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, however, correctly declared that Iran’s missile attack was an act of “self-defense” that only targeted military and security sites used for attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. He pointed out that Iran’s measured attack came “after exercising tremendous restraint for almost two months, to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza.” The foreign minister added that Iran’s action was “concluded” unless Israel “decides to invite further retaliation” – words that indicate that Western leaders who want an end to the conflict ought to counsel Israel to let the matter drop.

In a report issued Sunday, the ministry pointed out that over the past year, Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank have stormed and desecrated Al-Aqsa Mosque 262 times, performing Jewish prayers in the Muslim holy site. According to the report, Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque along with ministers of his far-right government six times, and threatened to establish a Jewish synagogue on the site. Ben-Gvir has relentlessly worked to intensify the Jewish presence at the mosque through government support and by giving it a legal cover, it added. The report indicated that “extremist Jewish religious groups have attacked and spat on Christians and Christian pilgrims in the occupied city of Jerusalem, specifically around ​​the Church of the Prison of Christ, and restricted them during Christian holidays, and prevented them from reaching the Nativity Church in Bethlehem in southern occupied West Bank and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in East Jerusalem.” Gaza’s Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs also said that 19 of 60 cemeteries were targeted, with bodies exhumed and desecrated. The ministry also reported that 238 of its staff members were killed and 19 were detained by Israeli forces.

Military spokesman Avichay Adraee asked the Lebanese residents to leave their homes and move north of the Awali River. A key ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed the creation of an “empty” buffer zone in southern Lebanon. Writing in Israel Hayom, an outlet traditionally supportive of Netanyahu, former national security advisor Meir Ben-Shabbat said that emptying the border area in Lebanon of people would be one way to ensure that residents in northern Israel can return home without facing attacks. “The advantage of this alternative is the relatively low costs of enforcement and the fact that it can be made possible on a routine basis without serious dilemmas,” he wrote. “Another advantage of it is in the message it conveys: that terrorism against Israel causes a loss of territory.” NOTE: Forced transfer of a people group is a crime against humanity.

(social media) Remembering Archbishop Desmond Tutu, defender of Palestine Middle East Monitor looks back: When the world lost Archbishop Desmond Tutu on 26 December 2021, it lost more than just a Nobel Peace Prize laureate or the former Archbishop of Cape Town. It lost a moral compass, a voice that refused to be silenced in the face of injustice, whether in the townships of South Africa or Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. Tutu displayed a rare foresight that was lacking in most public figures. As early as 2002, in an article for the Guardian titled ‘Apartheid in the Holy Land’ he described Israel as an apartheid state, a stance taken at a time when such comparisons were still relatively rare. The former US President Jimmy Carter was the only other global figure to describe Israel as such in a 2006 book titled ‘Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid’. Many have followed since, and over the past few years, a wall-to-wall consensus has formed within the international human rights community about Israel’s practice of apartheid. Talking to South African media, Tutu would say: “I have witnessed the systemic humiliation of Palestinian men, women and children by members of the Israeli security forces. Their humiliation is familiar to all black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted by the security forces of the apartheid government.” Often he’d describe the racism perpetrated by Israel as being worse than the racism in South Africa. “In many instances [Israeli apartheid] is worse” than South Africa under white minority rule, said Tutu in a 2012 interview with David Frost. Tutu’s journey to becoming a leading voice for Palestine began in the townships of South Africa, where he witnessed the daily indignities and injustices of apartheid. As Tutu rose to prominence in the Anglican Church and the anti-apartheid movement, he developed a theology that emphasised what he would describe as God’s concern for justice and human dignity. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor,” Tutu would say. “If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” In this 2012 interview with Sir David Frost he talks about how Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is ‘in many ways worse than apartheid in South Africa’: NOTE: Multiple human rights organizations have documented and reported on Israeli apartheid, including: Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Israeli human rights groups B’Tselem, and Yesh Din , the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), and Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic. Iranian missiles ‘overwhelmed’ Israel’s air defenses: Wall St. Journal The Cradle reports: Satellite imagery shows that Iran’s barrage of ballistic missiles earlier this week was successful in overwhelming Israel’s air defenses, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 6 October. The Iranian attack on Israel demonstrated Iran’s advanced missile capabilities and caused major damage to three Israeli airbases, where as many as 32 of the roughly 180 Iranian missiles (18 percent) successfully hit within the bases’ perimeters, according to experts. WSJ concluded that future Iranian strikes “could have much more serious consequences if they target civilian infrastructure or heavily populated residential areas.” Iran fired the ballistic missiles at Israel on 1 October in response to a series of aggressions committed by Israel, including the assassination of high-level Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. The Iranian armed forces’ general staff has promised that, if Israel retaliates, Iran will answer with “widespread and comprehensive destruction” of infrastructure within Israel.

Former US ambassador to Russia took part in planning Kursk incursion Drago BosnicOctober 4, 2024 Back in August, President Vladimir Putin’s top aide and former Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev stated that the United States is lying about supposedly “not knowing” that the Kursk oblast (region) incursion before the Neo-Nazi junta launched it. Patrushev insisted that “without their participation and direct support, Kiev would not have ventured into Russian territory”. He also added there’s evidence that NATO intelligence services are providing direct support to the Kiev regime junta forces. Considering that Patrushev headed the FSB for nearly a decade and that he’s one of Putin’s closest associates, it’s a given he’s privy to such information. And yet, Washington DC is still trying to maintain “plausible deniability”. No doubt that this is not only yet another attempt to deny its responsibility, but also a way to further enrage Moscow in order to create the illusion that NATO is a “defensive alliance protecting Europe from aggressive Russia”. Obviously, to the mainstream propaganda machine, Patrushev’s claims are “conspiracy theories” and “disinformation”. However, these already sloppy attempts to hide US/NATO involvement in the Kursk oblast incursion turned out to be even sloppier. Namely, leaked documents show that several high-ranking American officials and at least one think tank took part in planning the Neo-Nazi junta’s attack. Apparently, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul had his email hacked, revealing “peculiar” papers on the Kursk oblast incursion. Along with former US ambassador to Uzbekistan and Ukraine John Herbst, McFaul was invited to take part in a wargame organized by the Atlantic Council, a rabidly warmongering think tank based in Washington DC. This highly controversial gathering took place back in February, while the wargaming itself focused precisely on an incursion such as the one Kiev launched in Russia’s Kursk oblast. This is yet another proof that it was indeed planned months in advance, just as many of my colleagues and I argued. Several experts have already established that the purpose of the wargame was to probe Russia’s response. The Atlantic Council and former ambassadors established that two scenarios were anticipated. The first was finally starting negotiations on the Neo-Nazi junta’s accession to NATO, and the second was the “decisive breakthrough” of its forces, obviously referring to what would later become known as the Kursk oblast incursion. The purpose of the latter was to cause internal destabilization and hurt the authority of the Kremlin. Worse yet, the wargame even included a scenario where the use of nuclear weapons was expected, showing that the US-led political West was indeed trying to provoke Moscow to use weapons of mass destruction. This is also in line with other forms of escalation NATO is pursuing. According to Ilya Remeslo, a lawyer and member of the Public Chamber of Russia, the goal was internal destabilization, with both McFaul himself and his associates actively working on this, as evidenced by the leaked files. Remeslo argues that the military failure of the Kiev regime forces also forced its NATO overlords to abort further operations involving Western agents in Russia. He named several people, including Konstantin Eggert, Andrei Illarionov, Garry Kasparov. Yevgenia Albats and others who have already been registered as foreign agents in Russia. After the Kursk oblast incursion was launched, I argued similar points to Remeslo’s. Namely, mere days before the attack, US/NATO and the Neo-Nazi junta tried to assassinate President Vladimir Putin and Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. The Kremlin gave a very clear warning to the political West – there will be immediate thermonuclear war if this ever happens again. However, the Kursk oblast incursion soon followed, putting additional pressure on Moscow. It was already clear that the attack was planned very carefully, months in advance, meaning that the most likely goal was to assassinate Putin and/or Belousov and then launch the incursion to cause a breakdown in leadership the Kremlin and possibly even a Maidan-style revolution that would effectively defeat Russia. Since the Eurasian giant is seen as the spearhead of multipolarity, destroying at least its sovereignty (and eventually its statehood) is critically important for the political West. This is also in line with plans of the so-called “decolonization of Russia”, a blatantly open call for the world’s largest country’s dissolution. The latest evidence about the involvement of high-ranking US officials only serves as further confirmation that these plans are certainly still in motion. This is extremely dangerous, as it ensures that NATO and Russia remain on a collision course. Interestingly, right after the Kursk oblast incursion was launched, McFaul was adamant that this was a “win for Zelensky and a loss for Putin”, as it supposedly “strikes the latter hard”. What makes these revelations even more disturbing is the fact that NATO personnel and blatantly Neo-Nazi units took part in the Kursk oblast incursion, committing gruesome war crimes in the process. This makes McFaul and all the others who participated in the planning directly responsible for atrocities committed by the units involved in the attack. The massive presence of foreign troops also shows that NATO actively coordinated everything, which is a much higher level of involvement than just planning the incursion. It was only thanks to the Kremlin’s cool-headedness we didn’t see any escalation, while the Russian military’s decisive response prevented the Kiev regime forces from reaching any major targets, particularly the Kursk NPP. All this goes to show that the political West has truly become a danger to the security of the entire world (although many would argue that was always the case). America’s perpetual bloodlust and appetite for death and destruction are putting the lives of eight billion people at risk, including the 330 million Americans who are effectively held hostage by the warmongers, war criminals and plutocrats in Washington DC. This monstrous oligarchy is waging a war of aggression against the entire world and is showing no signs it will ever stop. Its strategic doctrine boils down to attacking everyone at once, while things are no better on an operational and tactical level, as the US keeps increasing its already massive pressure on small countries, particularly in Europe, where any sort of non-compliance with the “rules-based world order” is met with zero tolerance. If left unchecked, this sort of foreign policy framework is bound to set the world on fire. https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/10/former-us-ambassador-to-russia-took-part-in-planning-kursk-incursion/

Johnny PunishSeptember 29, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. Israel’s complex and often controversial political landscape has made human rights a central issue in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a figurehead in Israeli politics for decades, has been overwhelmingly condemned for his policies regarding the Palestinian people. Throughout his tenure, numerous incidents and policies under his administration have drawn widespread criticism from human rights organizations, who rightly accuse him of violating international human rights law and the rights of Palestinians. Below are 10 major human rights violations attributed to Netanyahu’s policies, along with actions taken during his time as Prime Minister: 1. Expansion of Illegal Settlements Violation: Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas considered occupied under international law, have expanded significantly during Netanyahu’s rule. These settlements are illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer of the occupier’s population into occupied territory. Action Taken: Netanyahu has consistently supported settlement expansion, viewing it as part of Israel’s security and historical claim. Despite international condemnation and numerous UN resolutions calling for a halt to settlement activities, he has continued to approve and promote their growth, especially in sensitive areas like East Jerusalem and Hebron. 2. Forced Evictions and Home Demolitions Violation: Thousands of Palestinian homes in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and inside Israel have been demolished under Netanyahu’s leadership. These demolitions often target Palestinian homes that Israel claims were built without permits, even though obtaining such permits is extremely difficult for Palestinians. Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has accelerated the demolition of Palestinian homes, particularly in areas slated for settlement expansion. The evictions of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan in East Jerusalem during 2021 gained international attention and were widely condemned as violations of Palestinians’ right to housing. 3. The Gaza Blockade Violation: Since 2007, Israel has imposed a strict land, sea, and air blockade on Gaza, which has been labeled by many international human rights organizations as collective punishment of Gaza’s civilian population. The blockade restricts movement, trade, and access to essential goods and services, severely impacting the lives of over 2 million people. Action Taken: Netanyahu has continued and, at times, intensified the blockade, citing security concerns over Hamas. The blockade has led to severe shortages of food, medicine, and other essential supplies, creating a humanitarian crisis. Critics argue that this violates the basic human rights of Palestinians, especially the right to freedom of movement and access to healthcare.

Use of Excessive Force Against Protesters Violation: Israeli security forces have been accused of using excessive force against Palestinian protesters, particularly during the Great March of Return in Gaza between 2018 and 2019. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed and thousands injured, many of them unarmed, including children, journalists, and medical workers. Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has defended the use of force, citing the need to protect Israel’s borders and prevent infiltration by militants. However, human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have condemned the disproportionate response, accusing Israeli forces of war crimes for targeting unarmed civilians. 5. The Nation-State Law Violation: In 2018, Netanyahu’s government passed the Jewish Nation-State Law, which officially enshrines Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. Critics argue that the law discriminates against non-Jewish citizens, particularly Palestinians, and undermines their rights to self-determination, equality, and cultural expression. Action Taken: Despite widespread criticism from within Israel and internationally, Netanyahu defended the law as essential to preserving Israel’s Jewish character. The law’s passage has been seen as a step toward institutionalizing discrimination against Israel’s Palestinian citizens, who make up roughly 20% of the population. 6. Military Raids and Arbitrary Detentions Violation: Under Netanyahu, Israeli forces have conducted frequent military raids in the West Bank, often leading to mass arrests, including of children, without charge or trial. Many of those detained are held under “administrative detention,” which allows Israel to imprison Palestinians indefinitely without formal charges or due process. Action Taken: These actions have been justified by Netanyahu as necessary for Israel’s security and counterterrorism efforts. However, human rights groups argue that such practices violate the rights to fair trial, liberty, and protection from arbitrary detention. The widespread detention of Palestinian minors has also drawn international outcry. 7. Collective Punishment in Gaza Violation: During Israeli military operations in Gaza, Netanyahu’s government has been accused of collective punishment, where the civilian population suffers for the actions of militants. This includes the destruction of civilian infrastructure, including homes, schools, hospitals, and sewage systems, often described as disproportionate and indiscriminate. Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has launched several military offensives in Gaza, including Operations Cast Lead (2008-2009), Pillar of Defense (2012), and Protective Edge (2014). These operations have resulted in high civilian casualties and widespread destruction, leading to accusations of war crimes by international bodies. 8. Segregation and Discrimination in Access to Resources Violation: In the West Bank, Palestinians face systemic discrimination in access to water, land, and electricity. Israeli settlers are granted unrestricted access to these resources, while Palestinians face severe restrictions. Action Taken: Under Netanyahu, policies have continued to favor settlers over Palestinians. Israel controls over 80% of water resources in the West Bank, and Palestinians often receive far less water than Israeli settlers. Human rights organizations have denounced this disparity as a violation of Palestinians’ right to water and equal treatment. 9. Restriction of Freedom of Movement Violation: Palestinians living in the West Bank are subject to numerous checkpoints, roadblocks, and barriers, severely restricting their freedom of movement. This affects their ability to access healthcare, education, and employment. Action Taken: Netanyahu’s government has maintained and, at times, expanded the system of checkpoints and roadblocks. Although Israel cites security concerns, the restrictions on movement are seen as disproportionate and unnecessary, severely impeding Palestinians’ daily lives. 10. Undermining Palestinian Political Rights Violation: Netanyahu has actively opposed Palestinian efforts toward statehood and political independence, repeatedly rejecting international efforts to create a two-state solution. His government has consistently pushed policies that undermine the political rights of Palestinians, including their right to self-determination. Action Taken: Netanyahu has supported annexing parts of the West Bank, notably the Jordan Valley while opposing Palestinian membership in international organizations like the United Nations. His government’s efforts to block the recognition of Palestinian statehood have drawn criticism from global leaders and human rights advocates. Oh wait, did I mention SERIAL KILLER NENTANYAHU has murdered over 40,000 human beings in Gaza in the last year destroying the homes of millions in the process? Yeah, that may need to be added here as the # 1 thing on this list. Conclusion Throughout his political career, Netanyahu has implemented policies that have drawn widespread condemnation for violating the human rights of Palestinians. From expanding illegal settlements to imposing harsh military blockades, his actions have led to the systematic suppression of Palestinian rights. Despite international pressure and numerous human rights reports, Netanyahu has defended his policies as being in the interest of Israeli security, often sidelining Palestinian human rights in the process. THE LATEST SONG WRITTEN BY JOHNNY PUNISH is “Serial Killer In A Suit”; is a raw, hard-hitting track that takes aim at the genocidal actions of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu in 2024. With aggressive guitar riffs, pounding drums, and unapologetically direct lyrics, this song speaks truth to power, calling out the horrors and human cost of the Gaza massacre. Over 40,000 lives were lost, including 25,000 innocent children – this is the sound of resistance against unchecked tyranny and deliberate cruelty. 🔥 Turn it up, and hear the truth! 🔥 Watch our newest music video — LYRICS Children scream Blood on the street Dead bodies underneath A thousand cries for mercy Means zero to you Psychotic predator Here’s the truth You smile for the camera And sharpen the blade Truth burned to ashes Justice betrayed Somebody Anybody Everybody Serial killer in a suit Serial killer in a suit Serial killer What the fuck You scorn the peace The people seek You warmonger freak Who cares what you speak With every soul you silence Your power grows cold History will carve your name On a dead sea scroll Somebody Anybody Everybody A killer in a suit Serial killer in a suit Serial killer in a suit Serial killer What the fuck You scorn the peace The people seek You warmonger freak Who cares what you speak With every soul you silence Your power grows cold History will carve your name On a dead sea scroll Somebody Anybody Everybody A killer in suit Serial killer in a suit Serial killer in a suit Serial killer What the fuck Turn your back On the calls for ceasefire While bodies stack higher and higher Somebody Anybody Everybody GAZA!

SPEAK UP OR SHUT UP? Should Music Artists Who Condemn Netanyahu’s Mass Murder Gaza Violence Be Concerned About Retaliation? If So, From Whom? The cost of speaking out can be high, the rewards even greater, as artists contribute to a long tradition of musicians who have dared to challenge the status quo in pursuit of a better world Johnny PunishSeptember 29, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. GAZA REMAINS ON FIRE! IS LEBANON NEXT ON THE USA/ISRAELI RADAR? THE MIDDLE EAST IS BACK BABY! AND THE POWDER KEG IS ON THE PROFITEER’S RADAR! WTF is going on? In a world where music is often used as a platform for activism and protest, many artists have taken it upon themselves to stand up for human rights and speak out against violence. One of the most pressing and polarizing issues in recent years is the ongoing conflict in Gaza. With bombings, blockades, and the complex web of historical grievances, many musicians have chosen to address the humanitarian crisis in their work, using their platforms to call for peace and justice. I am one of them! However, standing up for human rights in conflict zones like Gaza comes with its risks. Artists who raise their voices may wonder if they will face retaliation for their stance—and if so, from whom? The great John Lennon was a musician, singer, and songwriter who rose to fame as a member of the Beatles, one of the most popular and influential bands in the history of rock music. In addition to his musical talents, Lennon was also known for his political views, political songs, and political activism. He was famously investigated by US President Richard Nixon who considered him a threat to his policies. Retaliation from Political Groups and Governments One of the most immediate concerns for artists speaking out about Gaza is the potential for retaliation from political groups and governments. The Israeli oppression of their indigenous peoples and those peoples now living under Occupation in Gaza and the West Bank is highly charged. Speaking out against violence in Gaza might attract negative attention from governments or lobby groups who are deeply invested in one side of the conflict. In some cases, governments may put pressure on artists to silence their dissent. Artists like Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, who has been vocal about his support for Palestinian rights, have faced backlash, including canceled concerts and travel restrictions. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd at the pathetic Israeli “Berlin” Wall that separates and divides people on the West Bank Pro-Israel groups have also been known to organize boycotts or call for bans on musicians they perceive as anti-Israel. These pressures can manifest as lost performance opportunities, censored work, or restricted access to certain markets. Governments, too, might not always be welcoming of criticism. Countries involved in the conflict or aligned with one side may blacklist artists or block their content from reaching audiences. So one must be mindful. In severe cases, artists may face visa rejections or even be declared persona non grata, barring them from entering certain nations altogether. I created this image to show my solidarity for both Israelis and Palestinians and all citizens of the Middle East. We must join forces to stop the evil 20th-century jaundiced visions that have brought hell to millions of people since 1917 when the English and French took over the Middle East from the Ottomans. In my case, as most of you know, I have been an advocate for peace in the Middle East since 1982. I often call for solutions for all Israelis, Palestinians, and citizens of the Middle East like “The Middle East Union”. In addition, I always condemned the violence at every turn no matter where it shows up and no matter who openly engages in such horrible behaviors. As ya’ll know I founded and ran VT Foreign Policy for 20 years with over 65,000 articles published by me and the thousands of writers who published on VT. And many articles condemned war and those who engaged in it for profit. So allow me to confirm 100% that the US Government NEVER contacted me to censor. NEVER! In the USA, the government does NOT censor directly. However, online private companies like Google and others? Well, that is another story. Now, Fascist Trump has recently threatened to use state resources to close down media that critics him and he does not like. But he’s not President. But he could be. So that’s something to keep an eye on. Nevertheless, this week, I wrote a song about the Butcher of Gaza called “Serial Killer In A Suit“. Hey, if you murder over 40,000 human beings including over 25,000 kids, you’re getting your very own song! That’s how I roll… And so my advocacy continues with eyes wide open. Does that hurt some people’s feelings? Well, if someone is okay with murdering 25,000 children, well, yeah I can see that! Let me see… Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Son of Sam, Ghengis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mae Zedong…. yeah, lots of people will probably condemn this position. Yeah, I can see that. I suppose they won’t be inviting me to their murder parties eh? Public Backlash and Online Threats Another potential source of retaliation comes from the public itself. In the age of social media, where public discourse is fast-paced and often divisive, artists speaking up about Gaza may face online harassment, trolling, or even threats. Social media platforms can amplify both support and criticism and….. Click now to READ FULL ARTICLE on PunishStudios.com >>> Johnny Punish founded VT in 2004.

Why Israel Can’t Win in Lebanon If the IDF has been unable to defeat Hamas—a group that has operated, trained, and fought within the confines of an open-air prison with limited supply lines—after a year of conflict, the idea of taking on a far larger, better-equipped, and more sophisticated military force is simply unrealistic. Jonas E. Alexis, Senior Editor September 29, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. At this stage of Israel’s war in the north, a ground invasion will not occur. The reason is straightforward: Israel simply cannot launch one. A combination of manpower and equipment shortages, a depletion of aerial munitions after 11 months of relentless bombings in Gaza, and the absence of clear, attainable strategic goals ensures that the Israeli military will continue its standard approach. This involves extensive aerial bombardments of densely populated civilian areas, accompanied by a push for victory through information operations. Despite Israel’s information operations, resistance groups in Gaza, though significantly degraded, continue to conduct combat operations and are expected to do so for the foreseeable future. If the IDF has been unable to defeat Hamas—a group that has operated, trained, and fought within the confines of an open-air prison with limited supply lines—after a year of conflict, the idea of taking on a far larger, better-equipped, and more sophisticated military force is simply unrealistic. Therefore, Israel is likely to continue its long-standing strategy of conducting mass bombings and unconventional attacks, aimed at deterring Hezbollah from invading—an event that remains highly improbable—and coercing the group into submission by using the lives of Lebanese civilians as leverage. In the past 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force has launched a series of aggressive and indiscriminate kinetic strikes on towns and villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s earlier declaration of “turning Beirut into Gaza” now appears to be coming to fruition. The production of AI and CGI videos alleging that secret Hezbollah weapons caches are stored in every house in southern Lebanon is eerily reminiscent of the lead-up to the first bombing of Al-Shifa hospital last November. At that time, CGI videos were used to depict an intricate “Hamas tunnel system” beneath the hospital, which served as the justification for its destruction and the subsequent targeting of other hospitals in Gaza. However, the supposed sophisticated command center in the heart of Al-Shifa never materialized—only CDs of MRI scans were found. These videos provided a pretext for escalating aerial violence against civilians and civilian infrastructure, leading to the collective punishment of the entire population in an attempt to pressure Hamas in Gaza. This blatant disregard for the Law of Land Warfare and International Humanitarian Law is likely to be repeated in southern Lebanon, targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure once again. Furthermore, based on this unsubstantiated military propaganda, the IDF has ordered mass evacuations of Lebanese civilians from the Beqaa Valley, mirroring the catastrophe seen in Gaza. After the heavy blows dealt to Hezbollah by Israeli intelligence services last week—beginning with the pager attacks and culminating in targeted strikes on senior commanders of the elite Radwan Unit—the group, though temporarily disrupted in its command and control, remains resolute. Hezbollah cannot, and will not, cease its operations against an increasingly aggressive Israeli military. While the current situation is undeniably bleak, join us tonight on State of Play as we examine how Israel’s efforts to deter Hezbollah are destined to fail. We will explore how its overarching strategy, like much of its policy, is ultimately self-destructive.

Scott Ritter Warns: Israel Could Face Total Collapse if This War Continues! Jonas E. Alexis, Senior Editor September 29, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. “Karma has come for Israel, and their economy is falling . 60,000 businesses filed for bankruptcy, 2.5 million people have left Israel. People are boycotting Israel and treating them like outcasts.” “Israel lost heavily in Gaza. NATO, America and Israel defence force lost in Gaza. Just imagine the entire western world lost to Gaza which is no more than a village in Palestine.” Christian Zionism and Dispensationalism have aligned ideologically with the Synagogue of Satan—the very system that persecuted the early church, from the Book of Acts to the Book of Revelation and even throughout the early centuries. Satanism entails a deliberate assault on the incarnate Logos. In essence, to be a Satanist is to be anti-Christ. Christian Zionism and dispensational theology have spent more than half a century searching for a particular figure, yet they often overlook the very book they claim to hold dear.

[Houssam Shbaro – Anadolu Agency] (photo) Mass Walkout as ‘Global Pariah’ Netanyahu Addresses UN General Assembly Common Dreams reports: A large number of diplomats and other officials walked out of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to defend his nation’s slaughter of more than 41,000 people in the Gaza Strip during the past year and over 700 in Lebanon this week. Journalists and critics of the “global pariah” shared photos and videos of people filing out of the hall before Netanyahu’s address—which came just a day after 25 anti-genocide protesters were arrested for blocking his motorcade in Manhattan. While there was some audience applause from the sparsely populated room on Friday, Al Jazeera Arabic’s Rami Ayari explained that “the people you hear cheering the PM during the speech are in the gallery who he brought for that purpose.” Netanyahu began his Friday address by taking aim at the world leaders who throughout the week have condemned the recent escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as the past year of Israeli forces bombing and starving Palestinians in Gaza. “I didn’t intend to come here this year. My country is at war fighting for its life,” Netanyahu said. “But, after I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my country by many of the speakers standing at this podium, I decided to come here and set the record straight.” Armed with more of his infamous maps of the Middle East, the right-wing leader went on to claim that “Israel seeks peace,” while also pledging to wage war on Hamas-governed Gaza until “total victory” and telling “the tyrants of Tehran” that “if you strike us, we will strike you.” Noting that Netanyahu also spoke of “savage enemies who seek to destroy our common civilization,” James Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, said: “Words spoken by the man who has been charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. This is a disgrace. Abusing the General Assembly platform to lie and incite.” JEWISH NEWS SYNDICATE (JNS) ADDS: Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. envoy to the global body, and Robert Wood, the political special affairs ambassador who tends to take her place at the Security Council, did not appear to be in the room. An excerpt from Netanyahu’s defiant speech to the UN – to a largely empty chamber, except for the guest area, which was filled with Israel supporters: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also declared, I say to you, until Israel – until the Jewish state – is treated like other nations, until this anti-Semitic swamp is drained, the UN will be viewed by fair-minded people everywhere as nothing more than a contemptuous farce. Popularity of Netanyahu’s Likud party grows as Israel pounds Lebanon: Survey Al Jazeera reports: A poll conducted by Israeli daily Maariv shows that Israel’s deadly attacks on Lebanon have significantly boosted the popularity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. If elections were held today, Likud would lead with 25 seats in the Knesset, compared with 19 for its main rival, the opposition National Unity party led by Benny Gantz, the survey showed. This is the first time since the war on Gaza began last year that Likud has gained such an advantage, the newspaper said. Blinken faces calls to resign after lying to Congress to cover for Israel’s genocide Middle East Monitor reports: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is facing mounting pressure to resign after a report earlier this week uncovered that he misled Congress about Israel’s obstruction of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The 62-year-old, who is a staunch Zionist, is said to have misled the American people to maintain US weapons flow to Israel despite fears that the apartheid state is committing genocide in Gaza. The report details how Blinken contradicted findings from his own department’s experts and USAID in a May report to Congress, stating that Israel was not “prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of US humanitarian assistance” to Gaza. It’s believed that Blinken misled the government because US law prohibits the supply of arms to countries blocking American humanitarian aid. Israel is a small country lacking the means to manufacture weapons at a rate required to execute regular wars and preserve its so-called deterrence capacity. Israel’s ability to carry out a year-long assault on Gaza would be severely hampered without the constant supply of weapons from the US and its western allies. (Read the full article here.) RECOMMENDED READING: “Laws Of War” Biden-Blinken Style US to ‘adjust’ its military force posture in Middle East Al Jazeera reports: President Joe Biden directed the Pentagon to “assess and adjust as necessary US force posture” in the Middle East, the White House says, following repeated Israeli air strikes in southern Beirut collapsed at least six residential towers in the heavily populated Dahiyeh area. “He has directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary US force posture in the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection, and support the full range of US objectives,” the White House said in a statement. Secretary of State Blinken said Friday, “I want to be clear that anyone using this moment to target American personnel, American interests in the region – the United States will take every measure to defend our people.” MILITARY TIMES ADDS: The U.S. has kept an increased military presence in the Middle East throughout much of the past year, with about 40,000 forces, at least a dozen warships and four Air Force fighter jet squadrons spread across the region both to protect allies and to serve as a deterrent against attacks, several U.S. officials said.

The Israeli government stands accused of “blatant” violations of the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) protection of wages convention, tipping many Palestinians into extreme poverty. Workers from Gaza and the West Bank, employed in Israel, did not receive payment for work completed prior to last October 7th, and have received no wages since, according to the complaint. A complaint filed on Friday aims to recover the wages of Palestinian workers who previously worked in Israel. Israel revoked work permits for about 13,000 Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip to work legally in Israel following the Hamas attack on 7 October, according to the complaint, leaving those workers with unpaid wages from September and October. Those wages would have normally been paid on 9 October. An additional nearly 200,000 Palestinian workers from the West Bank employed in Israel have not been permitted to enter Israel, and have received no termination notices, according to the brief, which argues they are owed wages stipulated by their employment contracts for their previous work and subsequent months.

NOTE: Blinken’s both-sides-ism sidesteps the facts: Israel has been responsible for about 82 percent of the cross-border attacks. Google Was Set to Host an Israeli Military Conference. When We Asked About It, the Event Disappeared. The Intercept reports: The Israel Defense Tech Conference, aimed at tech companies working with the Israeli military, was scheduled for November at the Google for Startups campus in Tel Aviv. The event, according to a listing posted on the event management app Luma, was pitched at “founders, investors and innovators” looking to network and learn more about the defense tech space. It was co-sponsored by Google; Fusion Venture Capital; Genesis, a startup accelerator; and the Israeli military’s research and development arm, known as the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D, or Ma’fat). Google was not only listed as the physical host of the event and one of its sponsors, but the event listing also included a notice that attendees “approve of sharing [their] details with the organizers (Fusion & Google)” as part of signing up. When The Intercept contacted Google and the other companies and venture capital firms on the event page, the event page disappeared. Google spokesperson Andréa Willis told The Intercept in an email, “Google is not associated with this event.” Willis did not respond when asked how this could be possible if Google is hosting and co-sponsoring the event, or why the event page went down. None of the other companies or venture capital firms on the event page responded to requests for comment. After months of sustained protests against Google’s relationship with Israel, the company appears to be trying to muddy that relationship, at least in the public eye, while continuing its collaboration with the Israeli military… (Read the full investigation here.) israeli espionage against the US hits 366 billion Israeli espionage against the US is hurting the US economy – and has been for years.

Dr. Robert Duncan: Hacking The Human Mind | The Art and Science of Neuroweapons | Ethical Considerations of Capable Weapons Dr. Duncan’s Lecture on Neurohacking at MIT, May 1, 2019: Reception of the Lecture at MIT | Note from Allison Ireland | May 6, 2019 The Robert Duncan MIT lecture went well. Originally we had 260 RSVPs, however only about 60 actually showed up the day of the event. Attendees were mostly all University students of Neuroscience from local tech schools. Most were not familiar at all with the phenomenon. Probably one of the most impressive things though is the traffic on the EventBrite page. Overnight it went from 1,000 to 60,000 views. It is currently at 76,000 and seems to be getting 1,000 views a day. I would like to edit the content, email it out to not only the attendees and RSVPs but all 5,000 relevant parties invited and obviously put it up on the EventBrite. Without question this was much more effective than handing out flyers randomly on a street corner. I think the content needs some tweaking though. Here is follow up market research from sign in sheets. I thought it was interesting and worth sharing for future events. When asked if they were familiar with tech prior to this event 32% said yes while 68% said no. When asking those saying they were familiar how they became familiar 40% said internet, web articles or alternative media, 10% said government affiliation, 20% said personal experience, 10% said experience of a loved one and 20% said through the Cuban embassy news story. When asked if they would like to receive lecture materials emailed to them 67% said yes 33% said no and when asked if they would like be involved in more in-depth discussions and help us working towards solutions 67% said yes, 30% said no and 3% said not sure. Also so we know which marketing platforms were most effective at bringing attendees to gauge ROI (return on investment) this was how those that signed in learned of the event: 21% Meetups (free), 9% direct emails (free), 2% flyers ($300), 40 EventBrite (free), 26% word of mouth (but 1/3 of these said it was from their professor so that more from direct email) 2% newspaper print ad ($600). Lesson learned free online marketing is way more effective! Email blasts, word of mouth and EventBrite traffic are most effective. Flyers and newspaper ads only accounted for 4% of attendees.

Mossad’s Exploding Pager Attacks and 9/11 Over the last year or two, Hezbollah had become increasingly concerned that the cell phones used by its members were giving away their locations and allowing the Israelis to target them with airstrikes or missiles, so its leadership finally decided to shift most of its communications network to the use of old-fashioned pagers, which only receive signals rather than also emitting them. Jonas E. Alexis, Senior Editor September 25, 2024 Audio Player EPub Format EPub Format⬇ For the last half-dozen years, Israeli-born Ronan Bergman has served as a reporter with the New York Times, and I’ve regularly heard him described as the best-connected American journalist in Israel, with especially close ties to that country’s powerful security services such as the Mossad, Shin Bet, and Unit 8200. Much of that reputation goes back to the 2018 publication of his book Rise and Kill First, a widely praised and highly authoritative history of the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service, as well as its sister agencies. As I wrote in early 2020: The author devoted six years of research to the project, which was based upon a thousand personal interviews and access to an enormous number of official documents previously unavailable. As suggested by the title, his primary focus was Israel’s long history of assassinations, and across his 750 pages and thousand-odd source references he recounts the details of an enormous number of such incidents. That sort of topic is obviously fraught with controversy, but Bergman’s volume carried glowing cover-blurbs from Pulitzer Prize-winning authors on espionage matters, and the official cooperation he received is indicated by similar endorsements from both a former Mossad chief and Ehud Barak, a past Prime Minister of Israel who himself had once led assassination squads. Over the last couple of decades, former CIA officer Robert Baer has become one of our most prominent authors in this same field, and he praised the book as “hands down” the best he had ever read on intelligence, Israel, or the Middle East. The reviews across our elite media were equally laudatory. If Bergman ever considers bringing out an updated, revised edition of that volume, I think that this newer text might devote an entire chapter to the very serious blow that Mossad recently struck against Lebanon’s Hezbollah organization though the use of booby-trapped exploding pagers, an operation at least as daring and successful as anything covered in his very thick 2018 volume. Although the Israeli government has not officially claimed credit for the attacks, no one doubts that Mossad was responsible and a dozen of their current and former defense and intelligence officials provided all the details to the New York Times. Over the last year or two, Hezbollah had become increasingly concerned that the cell phones used by its members were giving away their locations and allowing the Israelis to target them with airstrikes or missiles, so its leadership finally decided to shift most of its communications network to the use of old-fashioned pagers, which only receive signals rather than also emitting them. However, according to news reports by Bergman and others, the Israelis had cleverly anticipated that possibility, and several years ago they had established a front-company based in Hungary that produced pagers and other electronic devices under license from a Taiwanese manufacturer. Its initial products were entirely legitimate but Mossad was prepared for any sabotage opportunities that might eventually come along. So when Hezbollah placed its order for some 5,000 such pagers, the company provided them, but each device also contained a deadly load of high explosives and ball-bearing shrapnel. Then, at 3:30pm on Tuesday, September 17th all the pagers beeped for an incoming message, prompting their owners to pick them up, and exploded a few seconds later. The result was thousands of such simultaneous pager explosions across Lebanon and elsewhere, with reports of some 2,700 casualties, hundreds of whom were maimed or severely injured, together with about a dozen deaths. The following day, walkie-talkies that had been similarly booby-trapped also detonated as did as some solar panels, and although those numbers were much lower, another couple of dozen deaths were reported, probably because those larger devices concealed heavier explosive charges. All of this produced widespread terror across Lebanon, with everyone suddenly fearful of electronic devices, including reports that terrified mothers were unplugging baby-monitors from their cribs. Over the years, Hezbollah had become quite proud of its security, and the leadership freely admitted that this was the worst breach they had ever suffered, resulting in very serious losses. I haven’t seen reports that any of the organization’s senior leaders had been killed or wounded in the blasts, but given the huge number of casualties, I’m sure that at least some had been caught in the attack. Then, just a couple of days later, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a Beirut building, killing a high-ranking Hezbollah military leader and a number of his colleagues as they were meeting together, perhaps to plan a retaliatory strike against Israel. It’s obvious that Hezbollah has suffered a very bloody nose, and a major setback in its ongoing military conflict against Israel. Mossad certainly achieved a brilliant tactical victory, one that its members and pro-Israel partisans surely intend to boast about for years. But many aspects of the attack seemed very puzzling to me, and experienced military analysts wondered whether any long-term gains had been achieved. After Israel invaded Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas raid last October, Hezbollah and its Israeli enemies soon began trading cross-border fire, bombarding each other with missiles, rockets, drones, and artillery shells, and those exchanges have now continued for nearly a year. As a result, some 160,000 civilians on both sides of the border have fled their homes, with perhaps 60,000 of these being Israelis. With so many tens of thousands of Israelis having become internal refugees, displaced from their communities in the north of the country and spending the last year living in temporary accommodations, the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been under enormous political pressure to attack and invade Lebanon in order to drive the Hezbollah forces away from the border, thereby allowing those Israelis to return home. In addition, the most extreme religious elements among his supporters regard portions of southern Lebanon as part of Israel’s God-given lands and wish to see them conquered and annexed, with their local Lebanese residents expelled and replaced by Jewish settlers. However, the last time the Israelis launched a ground invasion of Lebanon in 2006, their forces suffered a severe defeat at Hezbollah’s hands, and during the last eighteen years that organization has become far more powerful, with many of its troops having gained a great deal of military experience during their successful intervention in the Syrian civil war. Meanwhile, a year of fighting against Hamas in Gaza has left the IDF exhausted, so despite Israel’s command of the air, it’s not at all clear how well such a ground assault would go. Moreover, Hezbollah has reportedly amassed an enormous arsenal of some 150,000 rockets and missiles, and these could be used to inflict devastating damage upon most of Israel’s cities and towns if it chose to do so. The combination of these two conflicting factors has led to repeated indecision on Israel’s part. For months, media leaks have reported that Israel had made the decision to invade Lebanon and that the attack was imminent. But nothing has ever happened, presumably because the military risks of such an operation were considered too great. Those booby-trapped pagers and other devices might have played an absolutely crucial role in an Israeli ground invasion. If they had all been detonated at the beginning of such an attack, Hezbollah’s forces would have been left dazed and confused, with their entire communications network knocked out, thereby preventing them from mounting an effective defense or retaliatory measures. This would probably have allowed the IDF to win a major initial victory on the ground. But instead those explosions occurred alone, with no invasion taking place. So Hezbollah has merely licked its wounds and is surely now putting in place a replacement communications network, presumably based upon a large shipment of carefully vetted pagers received from Iran or China or Russia. Israel thus lost the element of surprise, with little to show for it except wounding a large number of Hezbollah members. Thus, the exploding pagers merely produced a tactical victory instead of a potentially strategic one. This raises the obvious question of why the Israelis chose to shoot their bolt when they did instead of waiting until the pagers could be detonated in conjunction with a major invasion. According to media reports, the Israelis may have suspected that some Hezbollah members had discovered that the pagers contained explosives, and were thus faced with a use-it-or-lose-it dilemma, choosing to immediately detonate all the devices before they were discarded and the entire long Mossad effort was totally wasted. This is certainly possible, but given the extreme difficulty the Israelis had previously had in penetrating Hezbollah’s organization, I really wonder how they could have learned that a couple of Hezbollah operatives had discovered the explosives during the short time interval before the latter notified their top commanders and a quick order came down to junk all the pagers. My own guess is quite different. I think that the explosions indicate that despite media leaks to the contrary, the Netanyahu government had taken a firm decision to abandon plans for any ground invasion of Lebanon in the foreseeable future as just too risky. If any such invasion were now off the table, the pagers had lost their strategic value, so they were instead detonated for essentially political reasons. Netanyahu hoped that the serious damage and humiliation the attacks inflicted upon Hezbollah would provide his government with an immediate boost in popularity, helping to deflect the continuing anger over its lack of success in returning its displaced civilians to their homes in the north. Thus, under this interpretation, the pager explosions suggest that no ground invasion of Lebanon will take place. Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s military effectiveness hardly seems to have been crippled. Early Sunday morning, its forces fired off some 150 rockets, cruise missiles, and drones into Israel, bombarding areas far south of those they had previously targeted. The very tight Israeli censorship makes it difficult to estimate damage, but it sounds like Israel’s Iron Dome defenses failed to stop many of the projectiles, which inflicted numerous injuries and started large fires, while Hezbollah could probably keep these attacks at this level every day for the next several years, completely saturating and overwhelming Israel’s defenses. Thus, pager explosions or not, Hezbollah’s huge arsenal could easily level most of Israel’s cities while the Israelis still seem reluctant to tangle with its very formidable ground forces. So perhaps just as observers had suggested, the Mossad operation was merely a tactical Israeli victory with great propaganda value but little if any strategic significance. However, my own view is somewhat different. I think that the longer term strategic consequences of that exploding pager operation may be very negative for Israel. Although America’s fiercely pro-Israel mainstream media would never treat it as such, the sudden simultaneous detonation of those thousands of pagers all across Lebanon and some nearby areas obviously amounted to a gigantic terrorist attack, and was certainly seen as such by nearly the entire world. Indeed, some Lebanese have described it as their own 9/11. Hezbollah is one of Lebanon’s largest political organizations, and many of those pagers had apparently been distributed to its affiliated civilian members, who were obviously not legitimate targets of deadly attacks, especially in a country not at war. Non-military members of Hezbollah would have the same relationship to its fighters that ordinary Israeli civilians do to the IDF, and using explosives-filled pagers to attack the former is really no different than detonating a large car-bomb on a crowded Israeli street where soldiers gathered. If thousands of booby-trapped electronic devices had suddenly exploded all across Israel—or across the United States—the Western media would certainly have regarded such an attack as the most blatant possible example of massive, illegal terrorism. The Internet is filled with videos showing explosions in crowded Lebanese markets, and some of the dead victims were children. Pagers were used by the medical staff in Lebanese hospitals, and this was also true of the exploding walkie-talkies. Given the thousands of those sudden explosions and the enormous numbers of victims, many of whom were civilians, including women, children, and medical workers, I’ve seen this described as the world’s worst terrorist attack since 9/11, and that hardly seems an unreasonable appraisal. Video Link Over the decades and especially during the last twelve months of the attack on Gaza, the Jewish State has become absolutely notorious for its endless, flagrant violations of international law and the rules of warfare, and this latest pager attack is merely a particularly egregious example of this. As the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported: A global treaty, which has been signed by more than 100 countries including Israel, bans “the use booby traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects that are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material”. Most of the legal experts quoted by NPR took the same position, so it seems clear that the Israelis have further compounded their long record of flagrant war-crimes. Moreover, nothing like this had ever previously been attempted, and Israel’s Mossad operation may have dangerous consequences for the entire world. Now that this line has been crossed and everyone has witnessed the huge potential impact of this sort of deadly attack, others may decide to do the same given that the technology involved is easily available to every major country as well as many non-state actors. Apparently the high-explosive compound employed was very difficult to detect by scanning or any other means, so what would stop explosive-filled laptops or other large electronic devices from being used to bring down civilian planes in flight? The societies of America and the West are very soft targets, unused to the regular attacks that Israel has inflicted upon its Middle Eastern neighbors, so the deployment of booby-trapped electronic devices would have a hugely negative impact upon our way of life. The possible damage to the market reputation of Taiwan’s consumer electronics industry and that of other manufacturers aligned with the West may also be quite substantial. With Mossad having so easily taken deadly advantage of the security gaps of the contract manufacturers in those supply chains, what rational country in the Middle East would not factor that risk into its future orders? Huawei and other Chinese companies provide the full range of such products, with their quality at least as good and their prices generally much lower, while their devices would be almost totally immune to such sabotage. Over the last year, Israeli representatives have expressed ferocious public hostility towards almost all of the nations of the world, denouncing them for joining together in the series of near-unanimous UN votes condemning the ongoing genocidal rampage in Gaza. Many of these countries and organizations may begin to wonder if they might eventually be targeted in political retaliation, and therefore chose to be safe rather than sorry by switching their purchases of consumer electronics to Chinese vendors. For generations, the nations of the world have signed international protocols and treaties prohibiting exactly these sorts of terrorist attacks for exactly these sorts of reasons, so Israel’s endless violations of such standards may inflict a great deal of damage upon the peace and security of the rest of the world, eventually provoking huge international hostility. Israel has obviously now become almost universally recognized as a rogue, terrorist state, the worst sort of international criminal regime. Eventually the rest of the world may conclude that its continued existence poses too much of a risk to global peace and take concerted action to eliminate that threat, together with the entire population deemed responsible. Indeed, if not for the totally slavish subservience of America’s bought-and-paid-for political leadership, I think that such steps would have already been taken long ago. But although these negative strategic consequences for Israel’s long-term situation are obviously quite serious, I think they are actually far overshadowed by certain other implications of this extremely successful Mossad operation, which may have a more immediate and historic impact. This project certainly ranked as one of the most brilliant and effective covert strikes in the history of the world, with few other comparable examples coming to mind. Yet I think that exactly those characteristics may lead to Israel’s total destruction, perhaps even in the relatively near future. In many respects, this use of thousands of weaponized pagers to target the members of an opposing organization almost seemed much more like something produced by a Hollywood scriptwriter than anything carried out in real life. In many respects it straddled the line between representing a massive wave of simultaneous, targeted assassinations and a huge terrorist attack against the cities of a hostile country. Although neither Mossad nor any other intelligence service had ever tried any similar operation in the past, Bergman’s authoritative history does provide a very long list of past Mossad assassinations, as well as similar actions by the various Zionist groups prior to Israel’s creation. I think it is worth reviewing some of that material to get a better sense of the likely mindset of those involved in formulating this recent operation. Back in early 2020, I summarized some of Bergman’s important information: The sheer quantity of such foreign assassinations was really quite remarkable, with the knowledgeable reviewer in the New York Times suggesting that the Israeli total over the last half-century or so seemed far greater than that of any other nation. I might even go farther: if we excluded domestic killings, I wouldn’t be surprised if Israel’s body-count greatly exceeded the combined total for that of all other major countries in the world. I think all the lurid revelations of lethal CIA or KGB Cold War assassination plots that I have seen discussed in newspaper articles might fit comfortably into just a chapter or two of Bergman’s extremely long book… Israeli operatives sometimes even contemplated the elimination of their own top-ranking leaders whose policies they viewed as sufficiently counter-productive. For decades, Gen. Ariel Sharon had been one of Israel’s greatest military heroes and someone of extreme right-wing sentiments. As Defense Minister in 1982, he orchestrated the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, which soon turned into a major political debacle, seriously damaging Israel’s international standing by inflicting great destruction upon that neighboring country and its capital city of Beirut. As Sharon stubbornly continued his military strategy and the problems grew more severe, a group of disgruntled officers decided that the best means of cutting Israel’s losses was to assassinate Sharon, though that proposal was never carried out. An even more striking example occurred a decade later. For many years, Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat had been the leading object of Israeli antipathy, so much so that at one point Israel made plans to shoot down an international civilian jetliner in order to assassinate him. But after the end of the Cold War, pressure from America and Europe led Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to sign the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords with his Palestinian foe. Although the Israeli leader received worldwide praise and shared a Nobel Peace Prize for his peacemaking efforts, powerful segments of the Israeli public and its political class regarded the act as a betrayal, with some extreme nationalists and religious zealots demanding that he be killed for his treason. A couple of years later, he was indeed shot dead by a lone gunman from those ideological circles, becoming the first Middle Eastern leader in decades to suffer that fate. Although his killer was mentally unbalanced and stubbornly insisted that he acted alone, he had had a long history of intelligence associations, and Bergman delicately notes that the gunman slipped past Rabin’s numerous bodyguards “with astonishing ease” in order to fire his three fatal shots at close range. Many observers drew parallels between Rabin’s assassination and that of our own president in Dallas three decades earlier, and the latter’s heir and namesake, John F. Kennedy, Jr., developed a strong personal interest in the tragic event. In March 1997, his glossy political magazine George published an article by the Israeli assassin’s mother, implicating her own country’s security services in the crime, a theory also promoted by the late Israeli-Canadian writer Barry Chamish. These accusations sparked a furious international debate, but after Kennedy himself died in an unusual plane crash a couple of years later and his magazine quickly folded, the controversy soon subsided. The George archives are not online nor easily available, so I cannot effectively judge the credibility of the charges. Having himself narrowly avoided assassination by Israeli operatives, Sharon gradually regained his political influence, and did so without compromising his hard-line views, even boastfully describing himself as a “Judeo-Nazi” to an appalled journalist. A few years after Rabin’s death, he provoked major Palestinian protests, then used the resulting violence to win election as Prime Minister, and once in office, his very harsh methods led to a widespread uprising in Occupied Palestine. But Sharon merely redoubled his repression, and after world attention was diverted by 9/11 attacks and the American invasion of Iraq, he began assassinating numerous top Palestinian political and religious leaders in attacks that sometimes inflicted heavy civilian casualties. The central object of Sharon’s anger was Palestine President Yasir Arafat, who suddenly took ill and died, thereby joining his erstwhile negotiating partner Rabin in permanent repose. Arafat’s wife claimed that he had been poisoned and produced some medical evidence to support this charge, while longtime Israeli political figure Uri Avnery published numerous articles substantiating those accusations. Bergman simply reports the categorical Israeli denials while noting that “the timing of Arafat’s death was quite peculiar,” then emphasizes that even if he knew the truth, he couldn’t publish it since his entire book was written under strict Israeli censorship… Having thus acquired serious doubts about the completeness of Bergman’s seemingly comprehensive narrative history, I noted a curious fact. I have no specialized expertise in intelligence operations in general nor those of Mossad in particular, so I found it quite remarkable that the overwhelming majority of all the higher-profile incidents recounted by Bergman were already familiar to me merely from the decades I had spent closely reading the New York Times every morning. Is it really plausible that six years of exhaustive research and so many personal interviews would have uncovered so few major operations that had not already been known and reported in the international media? Bergman obviously provided a wealth of detail previously limited to insiders, along with numerous unreported assassinations of relatively minor individuals, but it seems strange that he came up with so few major new revelations. Indeed, some important gaps in his coverage are quite apparent to anyone who has even somewhat investigated the topic, and these begin in the early chapters of his volume, which present the Zionist prehistory in Palestine prior to the establishment of the Jewish state. Bergman would have severely damaged his credibility if he had failed to include the infamous 1940s Zionist assassinations of Britain’s Lord Moyne or U.N. Peace Negotiator Count Folke Bernadotte. But he unaccountably forgot to mention that in 1937 the more right-wing Zionist faction whose political heirs have dominated Israel in recent decades assassinated Chaim Arlosoroff, the highest-ranking Zionist figure in Palestine. Moreover, he omitted a number of similar incidents, including some of those targeting top Western leaders. As I wrote last year: Indeed, the inclination of the more right-wing Zionist factions toward assassination, terrorism, and other forms of essentially criminal behavior was really quite remarkable. For example, in 1943 Shamir had arranged the assassination of his factional rival, a year after the two men had escaped together from imprisonment for a bank robbery in which bystanders had been killed, and he claimed he had acted to avert the planned assassination of David Ben-Gurion, the top Zionist leader and Israel’s future founding-premier. Shamir and his faction certainly continued this sort of behavior into the 1940s, successfully assassinating Lord Moyne, the British Minister for the Middle East, and Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN Peace Negotiator, though they failed in their other attempts to kill American President Harry Truman and British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin, and their plans to assassinate Winston Churchill apparently never moved past the discussion stage. His group also pioneered the use of terrorist car-bombs and other explosive attacks against innocent civilian targets, all long before any Arabs or Muslims had ever thought of using similar tactics; and Begin’s larger and more “moderate” Zionist faction did much the same. As far as I know, the early Zionists had a record of political terrorism almost unmatched in world history, and in 1974 Prime Minister Menachem Begin once even boasted to a television interviewer of having been the founding father of terrorism across the world. Indeed, I also recounted the remarkable history of Zionist and Israeli terrorism, some of which was covered by Bergman: Although somewhat related, political assassinations and terrorist attacks are distinct topics, and Bergman’s comprehensive volume explicitly focuses on the former, so we cannot fault him for providing only slight coverage of the latter. But the historical pattern of Israeli activity, especially with regard to false-flag attacks, is really quite remarkable, as I noted in a 2018 article: One of history’s largest terrorist attacks prior to 9/11 was the 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem by Zionist militants dressed as Arabs, which killed 91 people and largely destroyed the structure. In the famous Lavon Affair of 1954, Israeli agents launched a wave of terrorist attacks against Western targets in Egypt, intending to have those blamed on anti-Western Arab groups. There are strong claims that in 1950 Israeli Mossad agents began a series of false-flag terrorist bombings against Jewish targets in Baghdad, successfully using those violent methods to help persuade Iraq’s thousand-year-old Jewish community to emigrate to the Jewish state. In 1967, Israel launched a deliberate air and sea attack against the U.S.S. Liberty, intending to leave no survivors, killing or wounding over 200 American servicemen before word of the attack reached our Sixth Fleet and the Israelis withdrew. The enormous extent of pro-Israel influence in world political and media circles meant that none of these brutal attacks ever drew serious retaliation, and in nearly all cases, they were quickly thrown down the memory hole, so that today probably no more than one in a hundred Americans is even aware of them. Furthermore, most of these incidents came to light due to chance circumstances, so we may easily suspect that many other attacks of a similar nature have never become part of the historical record. Of these famous incidents, Bergman only includes mention of the King David Hotel bombing. But much later in his narrative, he describes the huge wave of false-flag terrorist attacks unleashed in 1981 by Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, who recruited a former high-ranking Mossad official to manage the project. Under Israeli direction, large car bombs began exploding in the Palestinian neighborhoods of Beirut and other Lebanese cities, killing or injuring enormous numbers of civilians. A single attack in October inflicted nearly 400 casualties, and by December, there were eighteen bombings per month, with their effectiveness greatly enhanced by the use of innovative new Israeli drone technology. Official responsibility for all the attacks was claimed by a previously unknown Lebanese organization, but the intent was to provoke the PLO into military retaliation against Israel, thereby justifying Sharon’s planned invasion of the neighboring country. Since the PLO stubbornly refused to take the bait, plans were put into motion for the huge bombing of an entire Beirut sports stadium using tons of explosives during a January 1st political ceremony, with the death and destruction expected to be “of unprecedented proportions, even in terms of Lebanon.” But Sharon’s political enemies learned of the plot and emphasized that many foreign diplomats including the Soviet ambassador were expected to be present and probably would be killed, so after a bitter debate, Prime Minister Begin ordered the attack aborted. A future Mossad chief mentions the major headaches they then faced in removing the large quantity of explosives that they had already planted within the structure. Bergman’s weighty book constituted an extremely comprehensive if fully authorized history of Mossad’s assassination operations, and it also provided considerable coverage of its terrorist attacks. But as an important supplement to the latter, I would strongly recommend State of Terror published in 2016 by Thomas Suarez. Although it focuses primarily upon the Zionist terrorism that played such a central role in the creation of the State of Israel, it also provides some incidents from later years as well. Most importantly, it massively documents the complete ideological support for that technique found across all of the early Zionist leaders, who then continued governing that country during the decades that followed, even into the 1990s. Although the work is long out of print and used copies available on Amazon start at an outrageous $4,291, it may also be found at Archive.org. As I mentioned earlier, the sudden, simultaneous explosion of thousands of pagers all across Lebanon’s streets and cities was regarded as a gigantic terrorist attack by most of the world, probably the worst since 9/11. I very much doubt that any intelligence service other than Israel’s Mossad would have possessed the combination of skills, daring, and imagination necessary to successfully carry out such an operation. Indeed, the only terrorist attack in world history that seems even bolder, more complex, and more successful would be the 9/11 attacks themselves, whose 23rd anniversary just passed a couple of weeks ago. That brilliantly conceived and implemented terrorist operation inflicted enormous damage to America’s financial and military centers while easily circumventing our usual air defenses on that fateful day, and dramatically changing the course of world history. Yet oddly enough, while most of us freely admit that only an organization with Mossad’s superb resources, brilliance, and training could have carried out the exploding pager attacks, according to the official story, the even greater 9/11 terrorist attacks were merely the work of a rag-tag band of poorly-trained Arabs directed by an eccentric with severe health problems dwelling in an Afghanistan cave. The contrast between the supposed actors behind those two operations is so extreme as to defy rationality, and the recent events in Lebanon must surely raise 9/11 doubts even among the most credulous and gullible. For more than two decades, large numbers of highly-credible journalists, academics, and former government officials have expressed enormous skepticism about the official 9/11 story. As far back as 2006, former high-ranking CIA official William Christison characterized it as “almost certainly a monstrous series of lies.” Over the years, a substantial fraction of the entire American population has come to very similar conclusions, much like those long expressed by most of the rest of the world. But if the successful 9/11 terrorist attacks were not the work of Osama bin Laden and his small band of Arabs, then who was responsible? If the Israeli Mossad recently carried out what was arguably the second boldest, most successful terrorist attack in the history of the world, does that not suggest an obvious suspect? In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the FBI quickly rounded up and arrested some 200 Mossad agents, many of whom had been found in the exact vicinity of the destruction, with five of them caught red-handed, celebrating the successful attack on the WTC towers. Over the years, I have discussed all of this at considerable length, including in an article published around the twentieth anniversary of the attacks: American Pravda: Seeking 9/11 Truth After Twenty Years Ron Unz • The Unz Review • September 7, 2021 • 7,800 Words For those who wish to place all of this in the broader context of past Mossad operations, many of which were carefully excluded from Bergman’s lengthy but highly-selective account, I would recommend my extremely long article from early 2020, which is conveniently divided into a series of major sections: American Pravda: Mossad Assassinations Ron Unz • The Unz Review • January 27, 2020 • 27,300 Words From the Peace of Westphalia to the Law of the Jungle “Rise and Kill First” “Who Killed Zia?” “By Way of Deception” “The Other Side of Deception” “Final Judgment” on the JFK Assassination The Strange Death of James Forrestal and Other Fatalities The 9/11 Attacks – What Happened? The 9/11 Attacks – Who Did It? Important Historical Realities, Long Hidden in Plain Sight The Past Perspective of American Military Intelligence We also recently published a long article documenting the extremely strong evidence linking the Israeli Mossad and its American collaborators to the 9/11 Attacks. Although the style is somewhat breathless and there are a few minor inaccuracies, the volume of material presented seems absolutely overwhelming, and I would urge people to read it. Israel Did 9/11 Wyatt Peterson • The Unz Review • September 12, 2024 • 13,300 Words Given the gigantic mass of very strong evidence implicating Israel and its Mossad in the worst attacks ever launched against the United States, the consequences when and if this becomes widely known are likely to be terminal both for the Jewish State and the bulk of its population. For a variety of different reasons, large portions of America’s political, financial, and media elites, both Jewish and Gentile, have bound themselves very tightly to support for that foreign nation. So unless they take strong steps to sever that connection in the loudest and most emphatic manner, they would probably share its fate. https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/09/mossads-exploding-pager-attacks-and-9-11/

Ukraine and Israel: Two Stalinist Remnants: We’re going to blow up the world for this? By Richard C. Cook, Co-Founder and Lead Analyst, American Geopolitical Institute. Author, Our Country, Then and Now (Clarity Press, 2023) September 20, 2024 Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill: Toward the end of World War II, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin were the two most powerful men in the world. It was the Soviet Union’s Red Army under Stalin that brought final defeat to the German Wehrmacht and had taken over almost all of Eastern Europe. Held back by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from launching its assault on France until D-Day, the U.S. Army nevertheless advanced to meet the Soviets at the Elbe River just west of Berlin. Roosevelt was no friend of Churchill. Roosevelt saw the British Empire as a relic of history to be gotten rid of as soon as possible, with Britain soon being forced to grant independence to most of its colonies, including the imperial crown jewel of India. Roosevelt and Stalin were as close to being friends as two such dissimilar figures could be. We know that Roosevelt’s administration was heavily staffed by Soviet sympathizers. Through Lend-Lease, the U.S. had quietly aided the building of the Soviet military machine so that it would be ready for Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa invasion in June 1941. Then in June1944 at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, less than a month after D-Day, Roosevelt’s negotiators succeeded in making the U.S. dollar the world’s predominant currency, displacing the British pound. At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, not only did Roosevelt agree to meet on Stalin’s home turf in Crimea, but he also gave de facto recognition to the Soviet Union’s occupation of Eastern Europe, though Stalin did promise elections that were never held. Another agreement at Yalta was to create the United Nations, where the Soviet Union was given a seat on the Security Council of equal status with the U.S., Britain, France, and Nationalist China. (In China, the government of Chiang Kai-Shek was overthrown by Mao’s communists in 1949.) Meanwhile, all Churchill could do was watch and fume. This had not been the plan. Churchill had every reason to hope that when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, the two totalitarian nations would destroy each other. Now Stalin stood like a colossus over half of Europe. And Roosevelt was going along. Truman, Britain, and the National Security State Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945, two months after Yalta and a month before V-E day. Now Harry S. Truman, a virtual unknown on the world stage, was president. In what was a virtual palace coup, the pro-British forces within the administration took over. Truman was a cipher who first obeyed instructions in dropping the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. Before he became president, Truman had not even been told about the Manhattan Project to develop the bomb. The purpose was not to force Japan to surrender—the Japanese were already prostate. Rather it was much more likely to warn and intimidate the Soviet Union. (After the war, a faction within the U.S. military wanted to nuke the Soviet Union immediately.) Over the next three years, Truman enacted all of the measures needed to create what became the permanent National Security State, including formal establishment of the CIA through the National Security Act of 1947. But what many historians view as the start of the Cold War and U.S./British disengagement from the Soviets as erstwhile World War II allies, was Churchill’s famous “Iron Curtain” speech of March 5, 1946, in Fulton, Missouri. It was also the British who took the lead in prevailing on the U.S. to fund the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, including West Germany, starting in 1948 and in bringing NATO into existence as an anti-Soviet alliance in April 1949. Finally, in June 1950 came the start of the Korean War, with armed conflict between the West and the Communist Bloc now the focal point of worldwide geopolitical affairs from then on. Stalin’s Reaction and the Creation of Ukraine Stalin reacted to the U.S./British actions with near-panic. Elections in the occupied Eastern European nations were cancelled, with single-party governments under the various national communist parties installed. These were backed by Red Army occupational forces. Yugoslavia also became a communist state allied with the Soviets under wartime leader Josip Broz Tito. In Greece, a communist uprising led to civil war from 1946-1949, leading there to a pro-Western government but an armed conflict nonetheless, one that left Greece in ruins. In reaction to NATO, the Soviets created their own alliance, the Warsaw Pact, fully in place by 1955. The Warsaw Pact was a collective defense treaty established by the Soviet Union and seven other Soviet satellite states in Central and Eastern Europe: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania. The Soviets had already incorporated a tier of states along its western border that formerly had varying degrees of independence. These became “republics” within the overall framework of the USSR, including the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to the north, Belorussia, or White Russia, further south, followed by the vast region of Ukraine, then the smaller entity of Moldova. These were all countries that became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990-1991. The most problematic of these newly-formed nations was Ukraine, cobbled together by the Soviets from 1922 to 1954 from various antecedents, including the original Russian homeland around the one-time capital of Kiev. Much of eastern Ukraine consisted of lands conquered by Catherine the Great and peopled with ethnic Russians. In February 1954, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union transferred the Crimean Peninsula from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. This was a measure said to be taken by Soviet Premier Khrushchev for “administrative” purposes. What it would later mean was that the giant Soviet Black Sea naval base at Sevastopol would be part of Ukraine when it gained its independence in 1991. Crimea would stay that way until Russia re-annexed it after the 2014 Maidan coup. Ukraine also was home to large numbers of Jews, who, along with Russians, Poles, and Belarusians, were subjected to massacres during World War II. Jews of Ukraine and Poland carried out large migrations to America, then to Israel, in the late 19th-20th centuries, lasting in Israel to the 1990s. As examples, many of the leaders of the Neocon faction within the U.S. are descendants of Ukrainian Jews, as is the Illinois Priztker family that is prominent in Democratic Party politics. In Western Ukraine are large numbers of people of Romanian, Hungarian, Polish, and other extractions, many becoming Soviet citizens only with the post-World War II redrawing of the map when Ukraine itself became a confusing mixture of nationalities, ethnicities, and religions. The Ukrainian Mess After the fall of the Soviet Union and the emergence of an independent Ukraine, Ukraine quickly became a mess. The various factions within what was now one of the largest and most heavily industrialized parts of Europe, along with a rich agricultural heartland, competed for dominance. This included Neo-Nazis left over from collaboration with Germany. The lines of conflict were drawn partly along the lines of pro-Russian vs. pro-Western influences. In fact, from the very end of World War II, Western intelligence services were at work in Ukraine, trying to swing the country in their favor. The West seemed to gain the upper hand through the U.S.-sponsored “Maidan” coup in 2014, leading to the creation of today’s regime. After 2014, with NATO arming and training the Ukrainian military, the situation soon devolved into an assault on the eastern Russian-speaking provinces, the Donbas. Russia responded by invading Ukraine in its February 2022 Special Military Operation. The West came to the Ukrainian government’s aid with weapons, funding, and anti-Russian sanctions, all to no avail as Russia’s industrialized military machine is now close to defeating Ukraine’s forces. The West also suppressed any Ukrainian interest in negotiating with Russia. Vlodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, is Jewish and has said he wants Ukraine to become “the ‘big Israel’ with its own face.” Under his presidency, over 100,000 Ukrainians, mainly gentiles, have died in the war. Persecutions against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have become common. The question now is whether Ukraine and its Western sponsors will accept defeat and move to a settlement with Russia based on agreement that what is left of Ukraine will stay out of NATO as a demilitarized neutral state, or whether Ukraine’s backers, mainly in Britain and the U.S., will go off the deep end and continue provoking Russia until a hot nuclear war results in Europe or beyond. The Soviet Role in Creating Israel I have no intention of reprising the entire history of Israel here. I will touch on the pertinent highlights, but I will add that I do not believe in concepts such as the “Chosen People,” etc. which I view as totally imaginary. I believe that every human being on the planet is divine in their essence, though it is up to each of us to develop that potential, and that helpers have been sent, some of whom have lived in a mortal form, to assist. For more on this topic, See here. I do not believe that an individual’s worth derives from his or her race, religion, nationality, level of education or income, social or occupational rank, or popularity. I believe one’s worth derives solely from one’s deeds. Thus a person who appears inconspicuous or unknown may objectively be worth more than a president, general, movie star, media personage, or billionaire. Nor do I believe that past wrongs to my ancestors give me the right to exact retribution from others. I have Anglo-Saxon ancestors whose lands were stolen by the Normans in 1066. Do I have a right to attack the present King of England? I have Native American ancestors of whom millions died at the hands of European invaders. Do I have a right now to steal the property of these invaders’ descendants? I also have Jewish relations through my extended family, and I am glad that so many Jews have found their own “Promised Land” in America. I don’t expect any payback for that. I am also very familiar with the history of the Zionist movement but wish to point out that it was the British during the 19th century who first came up with the idea of declaring Palestine a Jewish homeland. This was before Jewish Zionism even existed. The purpose was to gain control of the southern terminus of the “Mackinder Line,” extending from the Baltic Sea to the Levantine Coast, in order to have dominion over the Eurasian heartland. For more on this history, See here. The Zionist movement picked up speed after the British government’s Balfour Declaration of 1917 promised Palestine as a Jewish homeland. Britain obtained Palestine as a League of Nations “mandate” after the Treaty of Versailles brought World War I to an end. The problem then for the Zionist leaders was that Jews did not want to move to Palestine. Conditions were not great for farming, there were no jobs, and the indigenous Arab population did not want them. So during the 1930s, particularly with the worldwide economic slowdown, the Zionist project was looking at failure. In particular, American Jews, who had assimilated peacefully and happily in large numbers had virtually no interest in moving to Palestine, though some were willing to donate money to help European Jews who might emigrate. But even then, most European Jews who wanted to leave Europe were going to America. (When Hitler came to power he made an agreement with Zionist leaders to aid Jews in emigrating to Palestine.) Then came World War II, during which large numbers of European Jews lost their lives. Note, however, that within the Soviet Union, far more Christians than Jews had lost their lives during and after the Bolshevik Revolution that was largely run by Jews. See here. At some point toward the end of World War II, the decision was made for an army of Jews to travel from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to seize Palestine from its Arab inhabitants and establish the state of Israel. Because there were so few Jews remaining in Western Europe or living in America who wanted to move to Israel, those in charge resorted to scouring the refugee camps of Eastern Europe to find individuals who could literally be drafted and forced to go. See here. The invading Jews first fought against the British who were still holding Palestine as a mandate, now under the UN, then seized the lands of the Arab occupants, massacred thousands, and drove 700,000 off their land into refugee camps. This is called the Nakba. It has been going on ever since but became much worse after the events of October 7, 2023. A hypothesis I now want to present a hypothesis, knowing it is just that—a hypothesis. We know that at some point in the early history of the Soviet Union, Stalin decided to purge that element of the original Bolsheviks and their successors who favored worldwide revolution. One name for this faction was the “Trotskyites.” Trotsky himself, a Jewish leader of the Bolsheviks, was assassinated, presumably at Stalin’s direction, in Mexico in 1940. He had been expelled from the Soviet Union in 1929. During the period between the revolution and Trotsky’s assassination, the influence of radical Jews in the Soviet government gradually declined. (Trotsky did become a mentor to a faction of Jews in the U.S. who later became part of the Necons.) Also, in order to defeat Germany in World War II, the Soviets had to tap the deepest recesses of Russian national tradition, emotion, and inner strength. Russia became Russia once again, leading to the extraordinary development of science, scholarship, military prowess, and technology that has continued until today. But the radical Jews had remained a revolutionary force. My hypothesis is that because Stalin still wanted to get rid of them, when the dust settled from World War II, he decided to send them to Israel. They went, not as migrants, but as conquerors. It seems true that the most violent and extreme elements of the Israeli leadership have been Russian and East European Jews. The Soviet government assisted these people in getting to Israel and in drafting recruits from the refugee camps. They were also armed with weapons from the Czech munition plants then under the control of the Red Army. None of this could have been done without Stalin’s approval. The Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel in 1948. This was followed quickly by the U.S., with Truman being the recipient of large wads of cash from American Jews for his presidential campaign that year. See here. Nor did Stalin send them to become a Soviet fifth column in the Middle East. Israel quickly aligned itself with Britain, France, and the U.S., while the Soviet Union became partial to Nasser in Egypt and other anti-Western elements in the Arab world. The Non-Aligned Movement the Soviets supported drew heavily on these elements. That’s the hypothesis. Fast forwarding to recent years, no less an authority than former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has said that when he visited Israel in the 1990s, society there was moving toward a peaceful accommodation with the Palestinians that would eventually lead to the so-called “two-state solution.” Ritter says what then happened was that a new influx of Jews from Russia arrived on the scene with what seems to me the same kind of violent intolerance shown by the original terrorists who created Israel in the first place. Ritter’s commentary is compelling. It was these new arrivals who began to take over the Israeli government and who are now the driving force in Netanyahu’s reactionary coalition that has conducted the Gaza/West Bank genocide and is agitating for an expanded war, starting with a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. This could readily escalate into a broader war involving the U.S. and Iran or a worse conflict with Russia, Iran’s ally. The positive side, at least for Russia, is that Russia may now have rid itself entirely of its violent Jewish partisans. Russia has also gotten rid of or disciplined those Jewish oligarchs who took part in the looting of Russia in the 1990s. The Jews who have remained appear to be loyal, productive, law-abiding citizens who enjoy good relations with the Russian government. Conclusion World War III now threatens on two fronts—Ukraine and Israel. In both places, powerful forces are trying to draw the U.S. and the West into much larger conflagrations. In both places, a radical Jewish faction lurks behind the chaos—Zelensky’s government in Ukraine and Netanyahu’s in Israel. But both conflicts can be seen as Stalinist remnants of World War II. Why should the unfinished business of a long-dead Soviet dictator be allowed to determine the fate of the world today? Why can’t reasonable people from all sides now come together to repair these long- simmering tragedies so that the world can move ahead in peace, cooperation, and understanding?

How Israel uses sex to sell Zionism For a long time, Israel has used sex to sell zionism. There are 3 reasons why: they involve the settler-colony’s past, present, and survival for the future.

The price Clinton paid for the silence of the Mossad spy agency was calling off an FBI hunt for a top-level Israeli mole allegedly installed at the White House. The allegation appears in “Gideon’s Spies – The Secret History of the Mossad,” written by respected author Gordon Thomas and due out next week. Asked for comment, White House spokesman P.J. Crowley replied, “The only thing I can possibly say is we’ll skip the book and wait for the movie.” ATTENTION READERS We See The World From All Sides and Want YOU To Be Fully Informed In fact, intentional disinformation is a disgraceful scourge in media today.

UPDATED: Graphene Oxide The Vector For Covid-19 Democide Dr. Ariyana Love (ND) On July 28, 2021, I wrote the article entitled, Graphene Oxide The Vector For Covid-19 Democide and published it on my Ambassador Love website. Following the publication of my article, I reported that Pfizer and Covid-19 vaccines are aerosolized (using graphene oxide lipid-nanoparticles) in a podcast on October 26, 2021. Fast-forward to July 14, 2023, when the FDA confirms that Graphene Oxide is in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines after being forced to publish confidential Pfizer documents by order of the US Federal Court. Here’s the Pfizer document: Here’s Karen Kingston’s Substack on the disclosure of graphene oxide in Pfizer’s poison death jabs. Pfizer whistleblower Melissa McAtee has also revealed that up to 1/3rd Pfizer vials contained graphene oxide which Pfizer ignored. Please watch: BREAKING: Inside the Moderna Patent's Devastating Ingredients! Graphene Oxide The Vector For Covid-19 Democide by Dr. Ariyana Love (ND) A shocking new discovery was revealed in April 2021, when Health Canada recalled over a million KN95 face masks containing the highly toxic industrial chemical called GRAPHENE. The poisonous masks came from China’s Shandong Shengquan New Materials Co. Ltd. Following the announcement, Spain recalled millions of masks containing GRAPHENE yet children worldwide are still being forced to wear these poisonous masks in schools. I wrote about the GRAPHENE based hydrogels back in April. They’re scientifically called “Nanotubes” or “Nanoworms” and they’re being used in face masks and PCR swabs: Masks And Covid Tests Contain Nanotech Vaccines Without Informed Consent. Global Research published this article entitled: Face Masks Contain Graphene, A Poisonous Substance. GRAPHENE hydrogels are being intentionally marketed to kids as “nano-silver” and sold online in face masks. — See report. LA QUINTA COLUMNA I was approached by the Spanish-speaking WikiLeaks / Anonymous group in mid-June and asked to look into La Quinta Columna’s extensive research into Graphene Oxide as the potential vector for Covid-19 drug delivery. I especially trust the Spanish Wiki-Anons because they stood beside me when I was wrongfully targeted and cancel cultured by black anons and obvious gatekeepers, in 2019. On June 25, La Quinta Columna (The Fifth Column) broke the news on a Spanish television show — El Gato al Agua, that toxic GRAPHENE OXIDE had been found in massive quantities in the Pfizer “vaccine” analyzed by Dr. Pablo Campra of Madrid and other biochemists and academics at the University of Almeria, on the initiative of La Quinta Columna. The small group of Spanish researchers is headed by Dr. Ricardo Delgado and Dr. José Luis Sevillano, Investigative Journalist Ramola D. revealed. On June 29th, Europe Reloaded covered La Quinta Columna’s analysis of the Pfizer serum under microscopy that was published by Orwell City. La Quinta Columna then released a game-changing report on June 30th, demonstrating that GRAPHENE OXIDE is the key ingredient in Pfizer’s “Covid-19 vaccine” serum. It’s evident from La Quinta Columna’s website the amount of time they invested in researching GRAPHENE OXIDE. From Quinta Columna’s research, I learned that a company named Nanografi is manufacturing GRAPHENE OXIDE Nanotubes and intranasal vaccines for Covid-19 drug delivery. Nanografi also manufactures face masks! Now that’s very damning evidence!! Ramola D. then published an excellent article to The Everyday Concerned Citizen on July 5th, highlighting La Quinta Columna’s discovery and how GRAPHENE OXIDE causes blood clotting and magnetism. A second Spanish research team independent from Quinta Columna found GRAPHENE OXIDE as the predominant ingredient in AstraZeneca’s serum, reported State of The Nation. Dr. Jane Ruby, a medical professional of 20-years and a pharmaceutical drug development expert, picked up the story and discussed these vital revelations on the Stew Peters Show, on July 14th. She emphasized that the only reason Pfizer’s Covid-19 serum would contain over 99% GRAPHENE OXIDE “would be to mass murder people”. Dr. Ruby then returned to the Stew Peter’s Show on July 21st, to release more groundbreaking news about the horrific blood contamination of people who took the Pfizer and AstraZeneca injections. AstraZeneca by the way means “weapon that kills” in Sanskrit. A third research team from Argentina analyzed a vial of Moderna’s Covid-19 serum on July 21st and found that it contained 99.5% GRAPHENE OXIDE under spectroscopy, as reported by Orwell City. We now have not one, but three independent scientific studies establishing that the Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca serum’s all contain over 98% to 99.5% GRAPHENE OXIDE NANOPARTICLES! MAGNETISM AND MIND CONTROL All the “Covid-19 vaccines” and now flu “vaccines” are manufactured using the same GRAPHENE OXIDE nano-technology. There are hundreds of videos online demonstrating how the vaxxed have become magnetized. The unvaxxed are also becoming magnetized by transmission from the vaxxed to the unvaxxed. GRAPHENE OXIDE is a nanoparticle. These nanoparticles become magnetic when they reach the same temperature as the human body, according to scientific reports. Global Research news channel is also covering Quinta Columna’s research and the magnetism phenomenon: Graphene Oxide Particles in Covid mRNA “Vaccines” Causing Magnetism?. World renown scientist and media mogul Mike Adams from Natural News, is also researching and reporting on this developing story where he reveals that: Graphene-based “neuromodulation” technology is REAL: Press release from INBRAIN Neuroelectronics describes brain controlling biocircuits using AI-powered graphene. This graphene-based fitness patch was developed under the EU’s Graphene Flagship, by the Institute of Photonic Sciences in Spain can measure heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. Nano-tech GRAPHENE OXIDE is superconductive and highly integrative with neuron cells in the brain, as this scientific paper reveals. The molecules of GRAPHENE can interact with neurons in the brain in a remote mode using different radio-frequencies (5G could be one of these). They can map the brain and transmit and receive INSTRUCTIONS remotely. The European Union invested one billion euros in a project called “The Graphene Flagship“ in 2019, spawning nine companies and 46 new GRAPHENE-based products. INDUSTRIALIZED GRAPHENE OXIDE GRAPHENE OXIDE is already being widely used as an industrial chemical. We find it in electronics, aeronautics, energy, agriculture, cosmetics, medicine, textile production (also clothing), food processing, and buildings. The globalists intend to build “smart cities” using this nano-particulate substance and it’s already being sprayed on humanity via Bill Gates “smart dust”. Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles Are Being Sprayed On Humanity GRAPHENE OXIDE has already been aerosolized for dissemination over populations through aerial spraying (chemtrails). Pentagon scientists developed the technology in a Kazakhstan bioweapons lab. Please see this video (2 min.). This NATO plane was filmed spraying GRAPHENE OXIDE from above. Please see the video (.17 seconds). And finally, this Italian study provides additional proof that we are being sprayed with GRAPHENE FAMILY NANOPARTICLES. We’re literally being saturated with this industrial poison which has been intentionally inserted into everyday items such as face masks, food, clothing, water filtration, sanitary pads, tampons, diapers, and more. It’s being used in the Covid-19 “testing” swabs and now we know it’s the key ingredient in the “Covid-19 vaccines”. This article highlights 60 uses of GRAPHENE. Here’s a one-minute video clip of Moderna’s CEO Stephane Brancel bragging to the World Economic Forum about it taking just two days to create their “Covid-19 vaccine”. How is that possible unless it’s synthetic? GRAPHENE OXIDE MEDICAL APPLICATIONS In recent years, GRAPHENE has been exploited in the biomedical field, particularly for DNA sequencing and the development of biosensors. It’s presently being used for gene delivery and to administer drugs into biological cells. This article by Natural News contains links to the exact science papers describing two decades of research into all this: IT’S REAL: Science paper documents “self-assembled magnetic nanosystems” for cybernetic biocircuitry interface and control systems in humans, including “DNA hydrogel” tech. Dr. Carrie Madej and I have been reporting on the GRAPHENE Oxide Hydrogels which allow for self-replication, disassembling, and reassembling, and ballistic drug delivery to cells. The programmable nanoparticles also pass through the blood/brain barrier, causing PRION (auto-immune disease). WATCH! Graphene Oxide Activates By Cell Phone EMF Frequency Radiation The GRAPHENE Hydrogels literally grow a new neural network inside the human body and do so extremely rapidly. This was observed by a Slovakia team of researchers. GRAPHENE’s thermal property and electrical conductivity make it a superconductor. The artificial neuron network can receive and transmit signals and can be externally controlled through 5G frequency and AI. GRAPHENE Family Nanoparticles contain drug-chemical payloads for mRNA “gene therapy” and it’s being deployed without Informed Consent. GRAPHENE OXIDE is the vector for Moderna’s “operating system” and the sad reality is that the vaxxed will transform into genetically modified humans rapidly after inoculation because the technology is very advanced. CRISPR The first human genome project using GRAPHENE was initiated in 2001. GRAPHENE OXIDE was developed by CRSPR, Pfizer, Moderna, and BioNTech as mRNA gene therapy to cure cancer but due to its cytotoxicity (cell death) in healthy cells, this highly toxic industrial nano-chemical was never approved for use in humans. CRISPR accelerated the development of the first Genome Sensor, the world’s first DNA search engine that runs on CRISPR-Chip technology. It can literally google genomes to detect genetic mutations and variations. The jagged edges of GRAPHENE OXIDE Nanoparticles are super sharp and super strong, easily piercing through cell membranes in human lung, skin, and immune cells, suggesting the potential to do quite serious damage in humans and other animals. GRAPHENE OXIDE is great for DNA sequencing (cutting and splicing of genes) and it’s perfect for evil eugenicists who want to pretend to be God’s and genetically enslave the rest of humanity. This substance is extremely dangerous to humans and to the environment. TRANSMISSION Europe Reloaded reports: “Graphene Oxide has a certain magnetic resonance band, beyond which it becomes excited, which in turn leads to rapid oxidization of the material. When the oxidization level exceeds certain body biomarkers, it triggers a collapse of the immune system and a cytokine storm, typical of “severe Covid-19” symptoms. At least 90 scientific studies show the toxic effect of GRAPHENE OXIDE in the human body produces the same clinical effects as Covid-19. These symptoms include programmable cell death, blood coagulation, platelet aggregation, clotting, cytokine storms, thromboses, pneumonia (flu-like symptoms), inflammation of the mucous membranes, loss of taste and smell. It blocks detoxification in the body by blocking glutathione, creates a metallic taste in the mouth, destroys the immune system, and magnetizes people, especially at the injection site. Please see: Graphene Oxide Blockbuster: It Causes CV Symptoms and is Present in all Aspects of Diagnosis and Treatment Also see: Video: Graphene Oxide: A Toxic Substance in the Vial of the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine GRAPHENE OXIDE Toxicity was researched and discovered to be a vector for transmission in mice, enabling Pfizer’s “self-replicating vaccines”. “The common administration routes in animal models include AIRWAY EXPOSURE (intranasal insufflation, intratracheal instillation, and inhalation), oral administration, intravenous injection, intraperitoneal injection and subcutaneous injection. The major exposure route for GFNs (Graphene Family Nanoparticles) in the working environment is AIRWAY EXPOSURE, thus INHALATION and intratracheal instillation are used mostly in mice to simulate human exposure to GFNs.” Here’s a second peer-reviewed study confirming that Graphene Oxide toxicity transmission from the vaxxed to the unvaxxed is airborne. This means GRAPHENE OXIDE is received from the vaxxed to the unvaxxed by inhalation. GRAPHENE OXIDE COLOR Graphene Oxide (GO) and Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) Cytotoxicity depends on the size of the GRAPHENE flakes and the content of oxygen. It’s possible to tweak the GRAPHENE to be more or less toxic. It is in fact possible to get GRAPHENE OXIDE in a clear liquid serum by reducing its oxygen content into a Reduced Graphene Oxide (RHO). By doing so, it will increase toxicity. Treating GRAPHENE OXIDE with hydrazine both removes the debris and reduces (both deoxygenations) the dark GRAPHENE sheets. Reduction of a clear GRAPHENE OXIDE solution using Sodium Dithionite will cause the microscopic GRAPHENE flakes to reappear “out of nothing”. Reduced Graphene Oxide is sold as a clear serum in India for example, here. Conclusion: DEMOCIDE These were never “vaccines” against a virus, instead all the time it was a secret nanotech project developed to reach and control the brains of the human population. People have been already magnetized with GRAPHENE which is present in masks, Covid tests, chemtrails, influenza, and Covid “vaccines”. We now have three comparative studies proving that GRAPHENE OXIDE is the vector for the Covid-19 BIOWEAPONS drug/chemical delivery. These are not “vaccines” but mRNA gene therapies and industrial chemicals without authorized use in humans. The pharma cartel is finished! People will never trust big pharma again. These companies are making a killing poisoning us and terraforming our environment. Nanoparticles are programmed either for good and healing or for ill intent. These programmable robots aren’t just randomly used. This technology obviously got into the hands of the wrong people (eugenicists) or it was developed with the intent to Democide. GRAPHENE OXIDE NANOPARTICLES is the perfect vector to carry the spike protein poisons that were cultivated in moths, enhanced, and weaponized in labs. GRAPHENE OXIDE NANOPARTICLES is the perfect vector for transmission into healthy cells by injection, air inhalation, and medical devices (masks, swabs, needles). Transmission is not caused by the shedding of viral loads because there is no virus. “Coronavirus” and Covid-19 are the distractions while governments conduct Democide on all the world’s population. This is a biological attack on our DNA. We are being literally saturated with GRAPHENE FAMILY NANOPARTICLES and the only good news is that you can detox it out of your body. Our best legal teams, World Freedom Alliance and World Doctors Alliance have advised that we are now beyond Genocide and surviving a DEMOCIDE. This is an extinction-level mass culling. Genocide is when a government targets a specific demographic or religious group like Africans, Native Americans, Jews, Muslims or poor people, for example. Democide is far worse than Genocide because governments are targeting the entire population of men, women, and children for worldwide depopulation. So please, STOP paying taxes at once! The only way this war will end is when we end it and the only way to do that is to stop feeding the Beast. We must march in droves to ALL federal, state, and local parliaments and city council buildings. Surround those buildings until government leaders come out. We must take back what’s ours. Remember, we own it all. We The People already have the legal backing of Reiner Fuellmich’s team at the World Freedom Alliance. Finally, I agree with La Quinta Columna’s assessment when they said, “Every person who has been inoculated with this substance with that graphene oxide nanotechnology has a fuse, dynamite, a time bomb that’s ready to explode by the activation of a microwave.” DETOX I have two published protocols for detoxing graphene oxide nanoparticles and for boosting immunity. My premium detox protocol and my affordable for all detox protocol. Please schedule a health consultation with me for customized protocol support.
