Salvador Dalí Dream, Caused by the Flight of a Bee (Around a Pomegranate, a Second Before Waking Up) 1944 • Will War Result From The Ever Hesit
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle January 23 2024]“New Hampshire Primary: The state could be the last stand for Republicans who don’t want Donald Trump to be their nominee again.” –NPR
You mean the wild MINORITY of Republicans? They might have to accept a vast MAJORITY vote? Oh noes. However will we have Democracy if we accept the majority rule?
Again, as yesterday, Nikki Hillary not only HAS Democratic views, not only did the Democrats come out to boost her to a DISMAL showing in Iowa, not only is she a key insider, a warmonger funded by the MICMAC who are CIA and Democratic party, she is LITERALLY FUNDED by the Democratic machine PAC.
That puts a final point on it: She’s literally a Democrat. The only reason she can even run as GOP is because the RINOs and operatives are all Democrats too, as we’ve long known. As is Trump too, being pro-gun control, pro-abortion and first President pro-gay marriage. Trump is just MODERATE 90s Democrat on those issues, not chewing-my-hands far-left Trotsky Democrat on them as their party has come to for some reason.
Oh and if we didn’t guess, she’s also a serial adulterer who slept her way to the top like Kamala I guess. That explains some things, thanks, and finalizes that she’s a ruthless, demented, evil sociopath. Which is in the name: Nikki Hillary.
Do we need to add anything? Yes. She was also the candidate of Britain, no joke, as Alexander reported. EVERYONE there had her as “The Candidate” to beat Trump, since obviously no normal person would want Trump, and therefore all Americans have entirely British Empire values. NOT. So they were shocked – shocked I tell you! — to discover we didn’t want to elect a female Tony Blair, only uglier, and thereby have two equally abhorrent warmongering mass-murderers to choose from. They are still reeling, as is Davos, they say.
Okay, why? THAT MEANS BRITAIN IS INVOLVED. Davos, UK, DNC, Soros, MI6, CIA, Lockheed, all same team, funding and placing Nikki Hillary as their war-whore. Just as 2016 and lots of other times, MI6 is election tampering, choosing our president like they do to all good little colonies who don’t know better. If they weren’t involved, why such emotional investment in her? I mean, clearly also they would invest in a DNC candidate, no? Since all Republicans are Hitler KKK White supremacist Putin puppets? No? UK’s actions say not Hillary, she’s the GOOD Hitler-KKK choice.
Uh, yeah, thanks Britain, you told me all I need to know, even from the 30,000 foot, casual comment from a blogger view.
Didn’t work at all, Dimon is out as Pro-America, that tells me all I need to know here too. AND – therefore as Armstrong says, going to be a small plane crash shortly.
Okay, rundown: Have to clear the DNC primary, then erase Biden for “More time with family”. Superdelegates have no problem inserting Newsom, Mike, or Yertle the Turtle for super-love of Democratic base. Then as they couldn’t get a viable showing for anyone, they can’t very effectively arrest Trump to “default” to Nikki. That seemed to be Ramaswamy’s position, so he must think all-clear now. They may arrest him, but I doubt it will work, so small-plane crash it is then.
So we have an election with one candidate. As in “We’re not going to have a 2024 election” and “No one will accept the results.”
I guess what you have is a logic tree and as we travel the number of options steadily narrows.
“Can only be restored by the terrible lessons of catastrophe”.We’re not just walking away from this after what we’ve done, That isn’t how things work. We can, however, mitigate it and dilute it. For example, all the kids going “tiny house” and chickens may in aggregate fare better. And that may not perhaps be economically, although a little, but emotionally and personally.
“The FDA protects the big drug companies”
Not only that, which is gotten way, way out with the FDA KILLING the public, but ALL regulatory bodies quickly are co-opted to act like this. That difficult to prevent, but the first key is to recognize it happens. That is the PURPOSE of regulation, and why lobbyists exist and pay so much. I mean, “There oughta be a law!”
Do Hunter and Pfizer LOOK like they’re following any laws?
“Imagine Joe Biden was winning a clear +300 electoral college vote”
We’ve already established that they are incapable of comprehending hypocrisy. So there’s no point in using this approach as it is so dismissed as if if doesn’t exist.
“• Will War Result From The Ever Hesitant Putin? (Paul Craig Roberts)
He believes this, and I understand it given the West, but I don’t. He needs to read more about the Russian military thinking and strategy. Like the difference of “Shock and Awe” and “Land War in Asia”, that is, Russia’s WHOLE PLAN, which we found out wasn’t impromptu, they has planned ahead in case of Napoleon, to withdraw and entrap, then grind out their military enemies in 1812. Do they want that? No, probably not. It’s costly and breaks things. But IT WORKS. Has always worked, is working now. So if you’re a Russian General and you’re like “Hey boys, I’ve got an idea, let’s NOT do the things that worked and wins every war, let’s do what the AMERICANS do.” Um, no, that’s not going to get traction, even if it might work.
So PCRs setup is like this. Even though NATO isn’t really IN the zone but safely drinking champers and caviar in Knightsbridge, it still works fine. Putin is grinding them up nicely, and both NATO and Europe are collapsing economically and militarily, and also with manpower.
That’s not “Surrender”. And I think at a base level pundits need to be able to distinguish between “Totally winning” and “Surrender”. Those are in fact #Opposites. I respect his perspective on how warped our side is and you’re not giving them a black eye that will shut them down. But when it totally collapses the West — which both they, and the West, are saying it is – how is that NOT giving them a black eye? Or more like the slow anaconda squeeze.
Because although his point is well taken, the real job is prevent Pearl Harbor. Which is what Lira said. The U.S. and West DEMAND a Pearl Harbor event. It is required to have an event so they can get the PR and mobilize. …Even if it’s fake and half the country doesn’t want that like 911 wars. No Pearl Harbor = No U.S. and EU mobilization. “Remember the Maine!!” “The Lusitania!!… (which proven was totally filled with Allied weapons and Britain was human-sheild behind civilians again.) No justification. So then Russia can just keep popping 1k soldiers a day, one year, two years, three years… Until like at this point, there are no men, no mercenaries, no guns, no shells, no jeeps.
“Moreover, the Russian-Iranian pact does not seem to be, except, by implication, a mutual defense pact”
Again, the approach. The West, the Anglos HAVE these specifically, spelled out treaties, then double-cross them. Is that better? Are we still supporting the South Vietnamese “Whatever it takes”? No, we ran away like a little girl. And right now, right in front of PCR, they demanded Russia Shock and Awe ALL Ukraine so they could get in too deep too fast. Then they DEMAND that same thing in Syria, and implication, Iran. Instead, “Iran” may – or may not – have followed the Houthis to attack on their behalf. But DID they? Are you SURE? And if you take Iran, will the Houthis stop? Nope. So how is it “Iran”?
You see, that’s the Eastern way. China is the king of “political ambiguity”, as per they both own and don’t own Taiwan, which we officially agree they both control and don’t control. PCR doesn’t like that, because he’s from the West, which is fine, it’s a different approach, and I also prefer it. But that would require we know other ways, and also uphold instead of betray every treaty we’ve ever signed.
“actions count. And Russia’s are missing.”
Except for blowing up three NATO armies in two years, Russia blew up no armies at all! Except for wiping out every separatist, every mercenary, every Western slav who jumped in, except for bombing NATO’s training base the first day, knocking the Pentagon out of the war, then bombing NATO bunker with every general inside this month, they took no actions.
““Livni was saying that she wanted Israel to be a Zionist state – based on the Law of Return and open to any Jew. However, to secure such a state in a country with very limited territory – means that land and water must be kept under Jewish control, with differential rights for Jews and non-Jews – rights that affect everything, from housing and access to land, to jobs, subsidies, marriages and migration”.
That is, raw, blinding, white-light capital “R” racism. And since racism is neither logical nor scientific, cannot be defined, and makes no sense, then they borrow in all these conflicts and contradictions that destroy them.
It’s like your supervillains again. “No! This can’t be happening! It’s impossible!” Like the Joker, they think, at a base level, might makes right and stealing is ethical when – I – do it. But then, dum dum, all your minions ALSO think stealing is right when they do it, so they STEAL FROM YOU. And you then use raw FEAR and VIOLENCE to stop them, then you end up killing your own men to control them and get ever smaller. That is, “Your internal contradictions are self-defeating”, although if you play it right, this can take a long time, during which every minute is fear, work, and misery.
This is why the good will always and freely advise you not to do that. But ultimately have to get involved and stop you. Your violent insanity inevitably spreads and then we have a level of self-protection that kicks in sooner or later.
Because they’re insane, they think that destroying their own allies: WEF killing the United States, the U.S. killing Europe, the West positioning Ukraine to be depopulated, etc, they think that makes them MORE powerful. Um, obviously not? Now you have EU vs US, Red vs Blue, People vs Government, EU vs China, why do you think “The West”, Europe, had power so long? Because they did NOT do this, and without internal murders, they were unified against the RoW, rest of the planet, Global South, who was divided. And your Grand Mater Plan is to REVERSE all this?
Okay man. I’ll watch.
“• Zelensky Brands Parts of Russia ‘Historically’ Ukrainian (RT)
Wow, that is just stunning. Even now. He was STILL on how Russia was a-gonna collapse, fight in a civil war, get chopped up, arrest every Russian, pay every reparation, cede every territory, give up every nuke, become 100% disarmed and defenseless….oh as an opening ask.
Ritter interview: “Instead we picked the side of the British Crown.” Take the PCR view on this: except for the $6 Billion dollars, burning 80 Russians alive, shooting into crowds, toppling the legitimate government and installing “Our Cabana Boy Yats”, we weren’t involved at all!
To the comments here, Ritter is still out there talking, and he’s still seemingly the only one. Yet he never seems to experience pressure for it. Why? So they SWAT Tim Pool and Catturd in a daily serial attempted murder, but not Ritter?
“Scholz will try to ban the AfD.”
Seemed like hyperbole when I said they’d arrest and kill anyone to the right of Mao. It wasn’t.
““If this is true, and search and arrest warrants are used to drag Steve out of his house in the early morning hours someday soon, that will be evidence of retaliation against a journalist exercising his First Amendment rights to report information that is embarrassing to government officials.”
Since they’ve been doing that for 100 years they’re going to be very confused as to why that’s not okay.
“he wrote a series of stories that said events described under oath by two Capitol Police officers in the first Oath Keepers trial in 2022 could not have happened,”
This is a “Who are you?” Test. Will Americans sit down, shut up, and obey? Or not? Apparently we can’t keep our mouths shut and aren’t going to. Like Catturd, we have opinions.
““The FBI must come forward with the whole truth, immediately. If they will not, then Republicans have a duty to tear the FBI down to its foundation, and ensure that no government organization is allowed to amass this kind of power ever again.” — Charlie Kirk
Yay. And of course they need to sell that to “The People” first, and only can move forward when they say “What took you so long?” Because they’re not “Leaders”. They’re people who jump in front of a parade. They’re so far behind, they’re not even followers. They’re Pretenders.

Oh, and since I got distracted, that pipe bomb was set with a 1-hour egg timer. It was 7 hours later. And since they go tick-tick-tick, that timer wasn’t ticking. Obviously. That doesn’t explain their non-standard behavior, but it does need some explanation. So the bomber was going to have them go off 1am the day before when nobody was there, stopping nothing? The FBI knew before they knew that they shouldn’t know, because they already knew, that they shouldn’t look for this guy?

A thought on CBCD’s. Anywhere these become a reality than accountants would no longer be required would they? If all transactions are followed and spending is controlled by A.I. no need to employ bean counters. A.I. would assign all required remittances at the time of transaction to the corresponding recipients including the taxes to various .gov dept. This would also cut back the number of legal beagles required would it not? Funny really when it seems that this sort are some of the ones proposing this. Give them enough rope….

How to Navigate Our Low-Trust, Increasingly Dysfunctional Society and Economy
Politicians and corporate managers have an enviable record of self-enrichment but very little to show in terms of putting the long-term interests of the citizenry above their own.
What happens when high-trust decays to low-trust is the circle of reliable, trustworthy sources and people shrinks to the local, decentralized level? Rather than trust Big Ag, Big Fast-Food and supply chains of highly processed glop to feed us, we start turning to local sources of real food.
In the same way, we rediscover the value of thinking for ourselves rather than accepting self-serving memes-of-the-day.
https://charleshughsmith.substack.com/p/how-to-navigate-our-low-trust-increasinglySamo Burja analyzes the sincere efforts to record and preserve the elements of Chinese civilization which contributed to a stable 800 years of social order, as it broke down.
How Late Zhou China Reverse-Engineered a Civilization
The knowledge and practices needed for civilization to flourish are commonly lost. Thinkers in the Late Zhou dynasty of ancient China recognized the decline of their era and attempted to overcome it.
All three of these great schools would play central roles in Chinese thought and practice after the Zhou dynasty’s fall. But in each case, they evolved beyond the original intents of their founders. The Legalist and Taoist focus on learning from nature and observance let their adherents bootstrap entire states by doing what worked and abandoning what did not. Moreover, the Legalist appropriation of Taoism made its concepts amenable to state power in a way that its more extreme expressions could not be. But depending on each individual or generation to re-learn the basics could never be a sustainable task. Legalism’s total focus on strategy and power could become a liability if it undermined the regime’s continuity. Confucianism was not able to fully learn and re-establish the social technology of China’s golden ages. However, its insight that such knowledge had to be maintained in order for a civilization to last secured its ascendancy in regimes which its rivals established, but could not maintain themselves.
Each school was able to identify and re-engineer admirable and possibly unique features of epistemic health, stability, and prosperity of later Chinese civilization. These were features the early Zhou displayed in great abundance. This collective fruit provides the greatest lesson for those studying social technology: the loss of this knowledge is common, but a permanent loss is rare.

Wall St. Journal EIC Emma Tucker lamented this loss of control over ‘the facts’.
“I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal,” Tucker said, adding “If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.”
“If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact,” she continued, adding “Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”…
..European Commission VP Věra Jourová also piped up during the same discussion, calling the rise of “disinformation” a “security threat,” and suggesting that “It was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war, and we are in it now.”…
..”Disinformation is a very powerful tool,” Jourová continued, adding that “In the EU we are focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right. We don’t speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone’s opinions or language. This is about the facts.”

As of several weeks back, Substack has been under a massive seemingly coordinated attack from subversive forces seeking to create a viral exodus from the site by reputationally damaging it. Unfortunately, it seems the program is of such wide scope as to even target individual high volume accounts, of which I appear to be one—as I too have now come under the hatchetmen’s blade of deplatformization…
..Substack, as most people know, is a fairly young business. Though the company opened doors in 2017, it didn’t really begin gaining widespread appeal until around 2020, when a host of dissident voices found it to be the only non-censorial pulpit from which to shout the truth surrounding the unprecedented fraud of the 2020 election…
..It’s very clear to see why this is happening now, of all times. Just as Substack may have owed its initial popularity to the trench-war surrounding the 2020 election, J6, and Covid, Substack likewise stands to be at the center of what is certainly going to be an unprecedented, controversial, and dangerous historical firestorm later this year, and early next.

All countries need to withdraw from the WHO, I think, and establish their own sovereign techniques to keep populations healthy. It’s what we did before the WHO.
The concern in of all us is the ‘declaration of a new pandemic’, even for those who don’t believe there was one by any definition. This is one of the things that the WEF members are scheming about in Davos right now. Their primary agenda talking point (if you don’t know) is ‘how to regain public trust’. Yeah, good luck with that, assholes. When they ‘declare a new pandemic’, this word ‘pandemic’ should make everyone’s eyebrow go up. Just one. As in, re-hee-hee-hee-heee-lly. Now, this is not to say that they’re not GOFing the next take-down pathogen, but more likely is that they will be symptom-laundering the shot effects using the guise of some ‘normal pathogen’ for which people ‘aren’t getting vaccinated against anymore’. The blame will always be shifted to us.

On Dec. 24, 2023, Catherine Herridge, a senior investigative correspondent for CBS News covering national security and intelligence, said on “Face the Nation,” “I just feel a lot of concern that 2024 may be the year of a black swan event. This is a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict.”
What sort of event she didn’t say, but speculations have included a major cyberattack; a banking crisis due to a wave of defaults from high interest rates, particularly in commercial real estate; an oil embargo due to war. Any major black swan could prick the massive derivatives bubble, which the Bank for International Settlements put at over one quadrillion (1,000 trillion) dollars as far back as 2008. With global GDP at only $100 trillion, there is not enough money in the world to satisfy all these derivative claims. A derivative crisis helped trigger the 2008 banking collapse, and that could happen again…
..Derivatives are basically just bets, which are sold as “insurance” — protection against changes in interest rates or exchange rates, defaults on loans and the like…
..The collateral grabbed to close out derivative claims may be your stocks and bonds…
..In the United States, publicly traded stock does not exist in private hands.
It is not owned by the ostensible owners, who, by virtue of having purchased shares in this or that company, are led to believe they actually own the shares. Technically, all they own are IOUs. The true ownership lies elsewhere… Nearly all publicly traded equities and a majority of bonds are owned by a little-known partnership, Cede & Co…

..The DTCC is a central clearing counterparty (CCP) sitting at the top of a pyramid of banks, brokers and exchanges. All have agreed to hold their customers’ assets in “street name,” collect those assets in a fungible pool, and forward that pool to the DTCC, which then trades pooled blocks of stock and bonds between brokers and banks in the name of its nominee Cede & Co. The DTCC, a private corporation, owns them all…
..You, the investor, have only a contractual claim against your broker, who no longer holds title to your stock either, since title has been transferred up the chain to the DTCC. Your contractual claim is only to a pro rata share of a pool of the stock designated in street name, title to which is held by Cede & Co…
..[T]he shadow banking system’s lifeblood is collateral, and the issue is that market players re-use that same collateral over, and over, and over again, multiple times a day, to create credit. The process is called “rehypothecation.” Multiple parties’ financial statements therefore report that they own the very same asset at the same time. They have IOUs from each other to pay back that asset—hence, a chain of counterparty exposure that’s hard to track…
..It is this reuse of the collateral to back multiple speculative bets that has facilitated the explosion of the derivatives bubble to ten times the GDP of the world. It should be the collateral of the actual purchaser, but you, the purchaser, are at the bottom of the collateral chain. Derivative claims have super priority in bankruptcy, ostensibly because the derivative edifice is so risky that their bets need to be cleared.

It appears that one of the main reasons this “partnering” needed to happen was the use of Other Transaction Authority (OTA).

The scope of HHS’s OTA did not permit manufacturing pharmaceuticals at scale, especially not before satisfying regulatory requirements for safety…
..OTA was written and codified as a way for the military to acquire weapons and other necessary systems and equipment without a lot of bureaucratic red tape. It covers research and development, prototypes, and subsequent manufacturing.

The stunning missile and drone strikes on three countries — Syria, Iraq and Pakistan — over a period of 24 hours and Tehran taking the extraordinary step of announcing its responsibility for the attacks conveyed a very big message to Washington that its stratagem to create a coalition of terror groups in the region surrounding Iran will be resolutely countered.
That the US strategy against Iran was taking new forms began emerging after the October 7 attack on Israel and the consequent erosion of its standing as the regional supremo…
..There were signs already by the latter half of 2023 that the US with Israeli axis was planning to use terrorism as the only viable means to weaken Iran and restore the regional balance back in favour of Tel Aviv…
..Future historians are sure to study, analyse and arrive at sober conclusions as regards the attacks on Israel by Palestinian resistance groups on October 7. In classic military doctrine, they were quintessentially a pre-emptive strike by resistance groups before the US-Israeli juggernaut of terrorist groups — such as ISIS and Mujahideen-e-Khalq — turned into a rival platform matching the Axis of Resistance…
..Tehran has been pressing Moscow to expedite a bilateral strategic pact but Russians, unsurprisingly, took time over it…
..On Monday, finally, the Russian Defence Ministry disclosed in a rare statement that Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu called his Iranian counterpart Mohammad-Reza Ashtiani to convey that Moscow has agreed to sign the pact…
..According to Iranian news agency IRNA, Shoigu conveyed that Russia’s commitment to Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity will be explicitly stated in the pact. The report added that “the two ministers also pointed out the importance of issues related to regional security and emphasised that Moscow and Tehran will continue their joint efforts in establishing a multipolar world order and negating the unilateralism of the United States.”…
..“This document is not just timely, but also overdue,” said Zakharova. “Since the signing of the current treaty, the international context has changed and relations between the two countries are experiencing an unprecedented upswing,” she took note…
..Suffice to say, Iran’s missile and drone strikes against terrorist targets on Wednesday are a vivid demonstration of its assertiveness to act in self-defence in the new regional and international milieu. Iran’s so-called “proxies” — be it Hezbollah or Houthis — have reached adulthood with a mind of their own, who would decide their own strategic positioning within the Axis of Resistance. They don’t require a life-support system from Tehran…
..With regard to the strike on Baluchistan, interestingly, it took place within a month of COAS Gen. Asim Munir’s weeklong trip to Washington in mid-December.
Munir met senior US officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, US Forces Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Q Brown, and US Deputy National Security Adviser Jonathan Finer — and, of course, the redoubtable Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland, the driving force behind the Biden administration’s neocon policies.
An official statement in Islamabad December 15 on Munir’s high-flying tour stated that Pakistan and the US “intend to increase interactions” for “mutually beneficial” engagements…
..Pakistan has an entire history of serving American interests in the region and the GHQ in Rawalpindi has been the charioteer of such collaboration. What is on evidence today is that the forthcoming elections in Pakistan did not discourage the Biden administration from rolling out the red carpet for Munir. But the good part is that both Iran and Pakistan are smart enough to know each other’s red lines.
The US intentions are clear: outflank Tehran in the west and east with failing states that are easy to manipulate…
..In a nutshell, [US National Security Advisor Jake] Sullivan has voiced the US’ intention to strengthen its presence in Iraq — and it has similar objectives to pursue in Pakistan too. Washington trusts Munir to ensure that Imran Khan languishes in jail no matter the outcome of the Pakistani elections.
This strategic realignment comes at a time when Afghanistan has conclusively slipped out of the Anglo-American orbit and Saudi Arabia shows no interest to be a cog in the American wheel or dabble with the forces of extremism and terrorism.US Navy Gives Major Update On Missing Seals After Searching 21,000 Square Miles Of Ocean

Ministers in the Israeli occupation government said on Saturday that they would not allow the establishment of the State of Palestine in accordance with American and international demands.
This comes hours after statements made by US President Joe Biden in which he claimed that Israeli entity’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed him that he did not mind implementing the two-state solution and establishing the State of Palestine.
The Minister of Finance of the occupying entity, Smotrich, said: “There is a broad consensus in Israel to reject the Palestinian state and the division of lands.” He added: “The White House must be freed from the illusions of the concepts that led to the disaster in Israel,” according to his claim.
Smotrich continued: “Friends of Israel must understand that pushing towards the establishment of a Palestinian state is pushing towards the next massacre and an existential threat to Israel.”
https://en.ypagency.net/316708Alastair Crooke (Thanks F.S.), Netanyahu’s Shape-shifting ‘Endgame’ – It Is No Ploy, but a Reversion to Earlier Zionist Strategy
..The late Ariel Sharon, a long-time Israeli military and political leader, once confided to his close friend Uri Dan that, “the Arabs had never genuinely accepted the presence of Israel … and so, a two-state solution was not possible – nor even desirable”.
In the minds of these two – as well as for most Israelis today – is the ‘Gordian Knot’ that sits at the heart of Zionism: How to maintain differential rights over a physical terrain that includes a large Palestinian population.
Israeli leaders believed that in Sharon’s unconventional approach of ‘spatial ambiguity’, Israel was close to evolving a solution to the conundrum of managing differential rights within a Zionist majority state, which includes substantial minorities…
..U.S. journalist Steve Inskeep’s recent piece – Israel’s Lack of Strategy is the Strategy – brings into focus the seeming paradox: That whilst Netanyahu is very clear about that which he does not want, he at the same time remains obstinately opaque about what he does want as a future for Palestinians living on a shared terrain…
..Sharon’s military experience from the 1973 War effectively has shaped the entire Palestinian paradigm… Sharon’s notion of Palestinian Permanent Ambiguity was – and has been – the Zionists’ principle answer to how to bypass the paradox inherent within Zionism… In 2008, Foreign Minister (and lawyer), Tzipi Livni, was spelling out why “Israel’s only answer (to the issue of how to maintain Zionism) was to keep the State’s borders undefined – whilst holding on to scarce water and land resources – leaving Palestinians in a state of permanent uncertainty, dependent on Israeli goodwill”…
.“Livni was saying that she wanted Israel to be a Zionist state – based on the Law of Return and open to any Jew. However, to secure such a state in a country with very limited territory – means that land and water must be kept under Jewish control, with differential rights for Jews and non-Jews – rights that affect everything, from housing and access to land, to jobs, subsidies, marriages and migration”.
A two-state solution inherently therefore, did not solve the problem of how to maintain Zionism; rather, it compounded it. The inevitable demand for full equal rights for Palestinians would bring the end of Jewish ‘special rights’, and of Zionism itself, Livni argued – a threat with which most Zionists concur…
..Sharon had an alternative plan for managing a large non-Jewish ‘out-group’, physically present within a Zionist State of differentiated rights. Sharon’s alternative amounted to frustrating a two-state solution within fixed borders…
..The roots to Sharon’s ‘alternative’ lay with his radically unorthodox military thinking on how to defend the then-occupied Sinai from the Egyptian Army during the war with Egypt in 1973.
The 1973 Israeli-Arab war outcome thoroughly vindicated Sharon’s doctrine of a network defence based on a matrix of elevated strong points spread throughout the depth of the Sinai – a framework that acted as an extended spatial ‘trap’ providing Israelis with a high level of mobility, whilst paralyzing the enemy caught within its matrix of interlocking strong points. (If the reader notices the similarity of approach to the Israeli strategic locii of settlement ‘strong points’ spread across the West Bank today, it is no coincidence!).
Sharon envisaged the depth of the West Bank in its entirety as one extensive, permeable and temporary ‘frontier’. This approach could thus disregard any thin-nibbed pencil line, drawn to denote some political border. This framework was intended to leave Palestinians in a state of permanent uncertainty, caught within a matrix of interlocking settlements, and subject to Israeli military intervention at Israel’s sole discretion.
In 1982, Sharon drew up his “H” plan matrix of strong-point settlements for the West Bank that would mirror the Sinai strategy. This defensive strategy, however, also had the effect of imbuing ‘settler Zionism’ with new purpose and legitimacy.
The success of this strategy thus saw it transposed from being an essentially military defensive structure (to paralyse the Palestinians within a matrix of IDF strongpoints) to become subsequently the basis for managing the Palestinians more broadly. It was, over the years, to become more repressive, more iniquitous and resented. And ultimately, it seeded the apartheid two-state solution…
..It has permitted the fashioning of a two-layered space, subjecting Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs each to different matrices of mobility and administrative treatment.
Differentiated legal and administrative space thus solidified the Zionist political principle of differential political rights too. This two-tier system provides for Palestinian political exclusion, but maintains Palestinian dependency and legal inclusion under the Israeli apparatus of control…
..Once you make explicit that the overriding objective is that of maintaining Zionism, everything that Netanyahu is doing then makes sense. The crux of the problem is unchanged: The inherent contradiction of an exceptionalist Zionist state incorporating a substantial non-Jewish out-group without rights – whether it be held in the fenced ghetto of Gaza, or in a West Bank ‘settler stronghold matrix’ – has become untenable…
..Put plainly, Zionism will need to be re-thought – or abandoned.
So too, the West’s policy responses will need re-visiting. Well-intentioned platitudes about a two-state ‘solution’ are years too late. Too much water has flowed under the bridge. Rather, the West might begin to consider the implications of defeat for those who have embraced a side to this conflict. It is more than just Israel in Gaza that is in the dock at the Hague, much else is too (from the perspective of the Global South)…
..“Israel is the state of the Jewish people”, Livni underlined in 2008 – stressing the Zionist ‘bottom line’ – “and I would like to emphasise the meaning of “its people” is the Jewish people, with Jerusalem the united and undivided capital of Israel and of the Jewish people for 3007 years”.Netanyahu’s Shape-shifting ‘Endgame’ – It Is No Ploy, but a Reversion to Earlier Zionist Strategy
The Israeli occupation is largely conflicted among itself amid reports of infighting and an overall sense of defeat among the soldiers.
In reality, ministers revealed there were discrepancies in what was being heard from the military apparatus and from what was going on the ground, the Israeli broadcaster said.
There was a notable lack of respect in this session, escalating to shouting between the Minister for Advancement of the Status of Women May Golan and Chikli.
A new indication of a major division in “Israel’s” war leadership has surfaced, following the former Israeli chief Gadi Eisenkot’s call for elections within months.

As Israeli forces surround yet another hospital in Gaza, Hamas releases a letter clarifying its motives behind the October 7 attack, reiterating the Palestinian demand for the right to self-determination.‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 108: Israel is systematically obliterating Gaza, section by section
The world has reached a point of no return. The fraud of Western powers is spectacularly exposed and has become untenable.
Washington, London, and Brussels have pointedly refused to demand a ceasefire in Gaza under the guise of cynical excuses that recycle odious Israeli propaganda lies, such as the Palestinian militant group Hamas allegedly using human shields or hospitals as bases.
Yet these Western powers turn around and suddenly bomb Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab region because it has taken the principled action of blocking Red Sea shipping as a leverage point to force a ceasefire in Gaza. The Yemenis are invoking their right under the 1948 Genocide Convention to act in solidarity to prevent the genocide of Palestinian people.
Thus the Western powers are not only arming, enabling, and justifying the Israeli crimes in Gaza. When another party, Yemen, takes action to help the Palestinians, the Western powers double down on their criminality by assaulting Yemen.
The Red Sea shipping crisis could be easily averted by calling a ceasefire in Gaza, as the Yemenis are contending. So, why don’t the Western powers comply? The conclusion is that they are unwilling to stop the genocide in Gaza. The Israeli regime is a bastion of U.S. and Western imperialism in the geo-strategically important Middle East.Gaza, Yemen & Ukraine Sound Death Knell for U.S.-Led ‘Rules-Based Global Order’

Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said fighting in Yemen means Congress needs to add further spending for munitions to a supplemental military funding package. “As I’ve warned for weeks, using million-dollar missiles to defend against thousand-dollar drones strains an already insufficient inventory of long-range capabilities,” he added. “The supplemental is our chance to expand our capacity to meet the national security challenges we face.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has proposed a resolution to potentially freeze U.S. military aid to Israel and mandate the Biden administration to investigate war crimes in the Gaza Strip – a measure that was unfortunately set aside.
Under the resolution, all U.S. security aid would be frozen unless the U.S. Department of State produces a report examining whether Israel had committed human rights violations in its wartime conduct. The resolution gave the State Department 30 days to produce this report.
Earlier this month, Sanders – who is Jewish himself – decried the Gaza offensive as an “illegal and immoral war against the Palestinian people.” In turn, pro-Israel lobbyists campaigned aggressively against Sanders’ resolution, calling it poorly timed and unnecessary.

Nude artist sues Museum of Modern Art for failing to stop ‘groping’ visitors
A nude artist who performed in a Marina Abramovic exhibition is suing New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for allegedly failing to stop visitors from groping him.
John Bonafede claimed he was hired by the museum for the 2010 exhibition Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present, for which his job was to stand naked while facing an unclothed woman who stood 18 inches away.
A “hard job”
The show required a naked male and female artist to stand 18 inches away from each other, with attendees urged to squeeze between them while moving between galleries
This is actually what passes for a ‘job’ in Big Shity Duh’merica
Mr Bonafede said he has endured “years of emotional distress” which have impacted his “mental health, body image, and career”.
The lawsuit was filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on old sexual assault cases.

Stepping outside all the madcap false-dichotomies so many of us seem trapped in these days, here is an almost entirely different approach which resonates with some of the sentiments expressed here by the TAE commentariat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr-xcuZQk3c.Oxford Talks, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
During the summer of 2022, the Economist published an article, “ESG, Three letters that won’t save the planet”, as a 9-page feature. The article sets out the argument that we are in a climate crisis, and we should only focus on the E ‘Environment’; therefore, ESG should be boiled down to one simple measure: Emissions.Since this article, it seems as if national leaders, captains of industry, standard setters, regulators, and sadly even Chief Sustainability Officers are rapidly going in this direction and hence why Manjula felt compelled to film this Oxford Talk urgently. Firstly, Manjula challenges this theory and illustrates why this strategy is not only wrong but dangerous for humanity, and at the same time, demonstrates that there truly is a more sustainable and simple way forward. Discover in this film three letters that will actually save the planet, the holistic lens with which we need to view sustainability challenges and the changes in our thinking that will truly make a difference for the planet and its people.
These folks can be easily forgiven their wokish resonances (they have a fine balancing act emotionally) and its carbon-cult infiltrations (they aren’t scientists, after all). But they look deep into the hidden powers of human algorithmic behaviors and have the courage to explore their dissonances with the cognitive pretensions that comprise almost the entirety of our public discourse.
