    Quote Posted by Michel Leclerc (here)
    Back to the topic of its link with the Zionist madness. It needs to be explained with what goes beyond what you call “Hebrew”, certainly, and beyond Semitic: it is anthropology that shows us the links really clearly: it is about tribal insistence on giving up personal happiness for the expansion (not the survival: the expansion) of the tribe. Africa, to a large extent, and Oceania, to a large extent. And "out of Africa”: Egypt and then the Semitic world.

    On this, do we have some 5,000 year old African remains that show us the cosmetic surgery?

    How would you do it with flaked flint blades?

    I remember some black and white films, showing us the bulldozing of supposedly Jewish male bodies, that are said to show the opposite, the lack of circumcision. And of course when you play these same four films of a hundred bodies enough times, it becomes six million.

    I will have to say I don't know anything about tribal circumcision on a widespread scale, for a particular purpose. On the historical record, the affections of British imperial intellects--Jew friendly or not--typically represent the antithesis of healthy development, or sanity, although it has a heavy self-image of "superior". I'm not sure we should credit the British, themselves, for "expansion", since the idea is that a handful of moles get the remainder of the "colony" to do everything. Abstract entities such as "monetary theory" are expansive, consequently there seem to be numerous physical and psychological attacks that happen to the ordinary person, which do not really need to be happening.

    On a plainer level, there are certainly "systems" that tell males not to get a haircut. This input failed to reach the British--American hegemony. As far as I know, it was a big deal if you started to let your hair grow at all in the middle of the twentieth century. Someone is being picky about the tribal domination modeled into Fabianism.

    This is very interesting. “Code Pink” (with Medea Benjamin) just launched a petition referring to a resolution to override the UN Security Council to demand peace for Palestine.
    Copying their text message below.
    If you wish to sign that petition, go to the link below.
    ___________________________________

    https://www.codepink.org/immediatepeace

    Override The Security Council And Demand Immediate Peace In Gaza!

    After 11 months of genocide in Gaza the UN Security Council has yet to make any effective action to halt Israel’s attack on Palestinians. UN member states have made individual and joint attempts to make it increasingly difficult for Israel to conduct this genocide. UN member states have previously voted overwhelmingly in support of peace and recognition of Palestine which has been met with a Security Council veto most consistently by the United States. It is clear what is needed is a united effort to do what the Security Council cannot, which is to enact peace through resolution 377 (V) which would allow for member states to take action over the Security Council.

    On Monday, September 16 during NYC Peace Week, we will deliver this petition to UN Member States DEMANDING they take action now! Sign below and demand immediate peace in Gaza!

    Just a few quick snippets about rats:


    Chief of the Israeli police in the occupied West Bank, Ouzi Levy, resigns: Zionist media

    Head of Israel’s 8200 military intelligence unit submits resignation to Chief of Staff: Yedioth Ahronoth

    US Warns ‘Israel’ of Escalation against Hezbollah, Orders Aircraft Carrier to Leave Middle East


    while the fire spreads:


    Hezbollah Bombards Israeli Settlement of Rosh Hanikra for First Time


    and you receive a failing grade:


    Quote “Hochstein will carry a U.S. message to the political leadership in ‘Israel’, asking it not to go to an adventure in the north because it will be very costly,” Channel 12 added.

    “Hochstein will exert an extra effort to reach a settlement in the north, but the problem is that such a settlement is also linked to a ceasefire in Gaza,” the channel said.

    The Israeli officials frequently escalate the rhetoric of threats against Lebanon and Hezbollah; however, all their threats have gone in vain.

    That junk they made is falling apart.

    Slowly and painfully, and someone will probably paint it as a picture of success, although all I see is a heap of fatal vanity.

    🇱🇧⚔️🇮🇱 Hezbollah Operations 09-12-2024:

    In support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, the Islamic Resistance carried out a number of operations against sites and deployments of the "israeli" enemy army at the Lebanese-Palestinian border on Thursday, 12-09-2024, as follows:

    3. For the first time, the Islamic Resistance added the "Rosh HaNikra" settlement on its fire plan and bombed it, along with launching rocket barrages at the "Metzuba" settlement, in response to the "israeli" enemy's attacks on the steadfast southern villages and peaceful civilian homes, particularly the unjust killing of two martyrs in Al-Bayada.

    4. At 13:20: "Israeli" artillery positions north of the "Ein Yacov" settlement were targeted with rocket weapons.

    5.

    By way of rejoinder, the "8200 chief resignation" means Yossi Sariel, who, therefor, was not assassinated, but admitted complete failure of his unit to properly handle intelligence because of prevailing notions.

    Quote However, confirmed reports stressed that Hezbollah retaliatory strike on Unit 8200 HQs near Tel Aviv on August 25, 2024, killed 22 Isralei soldiers and injured 74 of others.

    So, is there any relation between those reports and the above mentioned resignation?

    That is of course an entire chapter of human history. As a polymath, Shaberon, you may become interested in “checking it out”. A lead for the first question: there is such a thing as oral history. For the second: have you no idea about how inventive man is when it comes to slicing and broiling? (This last point was the starting point for the Marquis de Sade’s narrative demonstrations.)

    Of course.

    The question is about assessing the value in whatever is spoken or written.

    For example, with respect to the language isolates we have mentioned before:


    The Brahui were introduced to the idea of history in the 1700s.

    The Kalash have a legend of indeterminate age which is wrong.


    In the case of Israel, with respect to the Torah, it appears that:


    There was an era primarily consisting of Psalms and maybe a bit of Kings, where there is David and Solomon.

    *Most* of the rest of it is anywhere from later to Far Later, and is not exactly the same thing. By this, I mean the story of Moses and associated behaviors were imported or created somehow. As if we are getting revisions and alterations and now we are in the state of today. The Mandean reaction is that it was "presented" or "new" to them, whereas they share a similar Israelite ethos with Psalms; circumcision being cited among the reasons it was rejected. This is the only chain of evidence I am aware of.

    If I didn't say it the other day, those anti-Zionist Rabbis should be asked their view on the historicity of Pogroms and Jewish Rebellions. What would they say about the Battle of Khaybar. Something is Unsettled here. And those guys are painfully honest because they say sometimes Jews bring it on themselves. That's the person I would trust to help resolve a problem.


    For the sheer purposes of mutilation, I would guess you could take that to the extreme and say, there still are, I think, Cannibals. Did I tell you I knew a guy who found one in Laos? Unlike a literary idea, this one is more difficult to reverse-engineer, you can't say, oh, they discovered it in 1,000 B. C. E.. If we can't place a limit on this rather ultimate act of harm, nothing else is too surprising. Just a question of who's doing what. Why doesn't it seem normal to us?

    Indoctrinated malice is these days.

    They didn't gun down the author, they removed him from office, the author of The Human Machine or something like that. This makes a noticeable wave of high-level resignations. I'm not sure it's what we would call "enough", but it is noticeable.

    Mind-boggling arrest of UK journalist Sarah Wilkinson subjected to terrorist-like abduction in the UK because of her reportage of the Gaza genocide. Sounds like Mossad or Shin-bet tactics were employed against her. The most sordid aspect is that her captors insisted on her disclosing the names and locations of Palestinian journalists she is in contact with.
    We can too easily imagine why...
    INTERVIEW: ‘This was purely for terror’: Sarah Wilkinson


    ____________________________

    "International human rights lawyer and former senior United Nations Official Craig Mokhiber explains why Western media can (and should) be held legally accountable for its role in the Gaza genocide. Craig explains: “Western corporate media reporting on the genocide in Palestine is, nothing short of shocking. Plenty of people have said that it is unethical from a journalistic point of view. Some of it may also be unlawful. There are precedents in international law in particular for holding media companies and personalities accountable for things like incitement to genocide, incitement to violence more generally. Incitement to genocide, if it's direct and public, are international crimes, defined very clearly as international crimes. In legal terms, the acts that they're perpetrating, they're perpetrating knowingly."

    This is frankly disgusting, a sign that Isreal is losing more than just the PR war...

    Israel Is Recruiting African Asylum Seekers for Gaza War Effort in Exchange for Promise of Permanent Legal Status
    Israeli security officials are offering the incentive of permanent residency status to asylum seekers who agree to participate in sometimes life-threatening military operations in Gaza. Sources say that internal criticism of this exploitation has been silenced: 'This is a very problematic matter'

    Houthis fired a hypersonic missile into the Centre of Tel Aviv yesterday - evading Saudi and Israeli AD (obviously).

    The missile covered 1,300 Miles in less than 12 min.

    These are ground/air-based hypersonics - approaching Mach 9.

    There is no defense against this attack - none. Then, the Russians reportedly also have space based MIRV multiple independent reentry rocket payload mounted on hypersonic glide vehicles (HGV) hitting speeds of Mach 25. (Avangard Platform)

    Meanwhile, President wants to waste more money on the old force structure when we should scrap much of it and begin fielding a new force.

    At this point the DOD is the DMV (department of military vehicles) They are great at moving hardware and Personnel around but not at much else.

    They remain stuck in the WW2/Cold War paradigm. It’s time to retrench and build for the future.

    Ending the conflicts in Ukraine and the ME is vital for the US and our friends.

    Houthi success swatting down Reaper drones betrays US trillion-dollar military’s paper tiger status

    “The downing of yet another drone could negatively impact the reputation of the US military-industrial complex. Confidence in the effectiveness of US defense technologies could be undermined. This may lead to potential clients in US military and technology exports becoming concerned about the failures of American products,” political scientist and international affairs observer Dr. Mehmet Rakipoglu told Sputnik.

    He commented on reports confirming that the Houthis have shot down their eighth US MQ-9 Reaper drone since the start of the Red Sea crisis last year.

    Politically and strategically, the success of the Houthi anti-drone campaign may undermine the justifications for continued US operations and presence in the region, and even “raise questions about the effectiveness of US power projection policies…potentially threatening Washington’s regional and global strategic interests in the long term,” Rakipoglu explained.

    The US is between a rock and a hard place battling the Houthis, unwilling to become further entangled in a large-scale confrontation for fear of sparking a regional war with their Iranian Axis of Resistance allies, but unable to extract themselves without losing face.

    “The relative cheapness and local production-based equipment used by the Houthis can lead to more losses for the US, [whose] military expenditures run into billions of dollars," the expert notes.

    The Houthis have shown that they “have the capacity to counter one of the most advanced technologies” in the US’s arsenal, and can outcompete the Pentagon on costs too, Rakipoglu concludes.
