"Netanyahu: Gaza Aid Scheme Offers Israel Symbolic Cover to Finish the Genocide"

"Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear: His decision to allow a minuscule amount of aid to enter Gaza is a tactical one aimed at quieting international condemnation of Israel’s forced starvation of Gaza and to clear the path of a final solution imposed on the Palestinians of Gaza." [More]

"Powell, Tennessee – An antifascist influencer known for smearing right-wingers as pedophiles has been arrested for collecting and distributing child sex abuse material (CSAM), the Justice Report has learned.

According to federal authorities, 49-year-old actor, parental author, left-wing podcaster, and street activist Joseph “Josh” Brandon willfully conspired with an accomplice to obtain nude photos from underage victims by posing as a child on social media."
----
A criminal complaint obtained and reviewed by the Justice Report reveals the true depravity behind Brandon’s actions. In addition to vile chatlog entries, the documents include a confession that Brandon may have plied his 15-year-old stepdaughter with drugs and sexually assaulted her in her sleep.
----
The documents allege that Brandon was a key figure in the child sex trade. "

"US envoy defends Israel’s Gaza genocide, says mass killings ‘needed’ to free captives"     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 3 weeks ago

1 comments


"The US special envoy on Israeli captives has defended the Israeli genocide in Gaza as a demonstration of strength, which he said is needed to release the captives held by Palestinian resistance fighters.

Speaking to Fox News Sunday, Adam Boehler said, “All Palestinians need this barrage to stop,” but it’s “through that toughness and through that strength that we’re going to see the hostages released.”

Hamas’s release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander was a “sign” that the group “understands” it must release Israeli captives “if they want this barrage of attacks to stop,” he further said.

On Friday, a senior Hamas official said that US special envoy Steve Witkoff personally assured the Palestinian resistance group that the US would pressure Israel to end the Gaza blockade and permit humanitarian access within two days of freeing Alexander.

Boehler added that only the release of Israeli captives would stop the regime’s attacks, which according to a recent Israeli investigative report, have killed civilians in 82% of cases." .....

"Prostate Cancer Has A Right To Exist. Biden’s Tumor Has A Right To Defend Itself: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix"     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 3 weeks ago

"None of the people wishing Biden well today have ever really stood for anything. Nobody who chides those who are celebrating his cancer diagnosis actually cares about human beings. They inhabit a different moral universe from the rest of us. One where politeness and decorum matter more than human lives. One where it’s more important to preserve one’s political image in the eyes of the establishment than it is to oppose an active genocide. One where a rude tweet about a blood-soaked monster provokes more outrage than daily footage of children ripped to shreds by western-supplied munitions.

Those who are applauding Biden’s tumor today are obviously not saying that cancer is good. They are saying that Biden’s victims matter more than the rules of imperial etiquette. They are saying the mountains of human corpses he created matter more than protecting the feelings of those who believe he’s a swell guy. They are rejecting the empire’s demand that they dehumanize and dismiss all those people who were killed, crippled, displaced, traumatized and bereaved by the abuses of this fugitive from The Hague in order to demonstrate docility and obedience to their masters." ....

"Google’s $32 Billion Wiz Deal Ties Your Data to Israeli Military Tech"     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 3 weeks ago

https://thealtworld.com/alan_macleod/googles-32-billion-wiz-deal-ties-your-data-to-israeli-military-tech


"Google’s $32 billion purchase of Wiz hands its global data security to an Israeli firm founded and staffed by ex-military cyber spies from the IDF’s notorious Unit 8200.

Google recently announced it would acquire Israeli-American cloud security firm Wiz for $32 billion. The price tag — 65 times Wiz’s annual revenue — has raised eyebrows and further solidified the close relationship between Google and the Israeli military.

In its press release, the Silicon Valley giant claimed that the purchase will “vastly improve how security is designed, operated and automated—providing an end-to-end security platform for customers, of all types and sizes, in the AI era.”

Yet it has also raised fears about the security of user data, particularly of those who oppose Israeli actions against its neighbors, given Unit 8200’s long history of using tech to spy on opponents, gather intelligence, and use that knowledge for extortion and blackmail.

Israel’s Global Spy Network

Wiz was established only five years ago, and all four co-founders — Yinon Costica, Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, and Roy Reznik — were leaders in Israel’s elite military intelligence unit, Unit 8200. Like many Israeli tech companies, Wiz is a direct outgrowth of the military intelligence outfit. A recent study found that almost fifty of its current employees are Unit 8200 veterans.

“That experience showed me the impact you can make when you combine great talent with amazing technology,” Rappaport said of his time in the military.

Former Unit 8200 agents, working hand-in-glove with the Israeli national security state, have gone on to produce many of the world’s most infamous malware and hacking tools.

Perhaps the most well-known of these is Pegasus, spyware used by governments around the world to surveil and harass political opponents. These include India, Kazakhstan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, the latter of which used the tool to spy on Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi before he was assassinated by Saudi agents in Türkiye.

In total, more than 50,000 journalists, human rights defenders, diplomats, business leaders and politicians are known to have been secretly surveilled. That includes heads of state such as French President Emmanuel Macron, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Iraqi President Barham Salih. All Pegasus sales had to be approved by the Israeli government, which reportedly had access to the data Pegasus’ foreign customers were accruing.

Unit 8200 also spies on Americans. Whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the National Security Agency regularly shared the data and communications of U.S. citizens with the Israeli intelligence group. “I think that’s amazing…It’s one of the biggest abuses we’ve seen,” he said.

For the Israeli government, the utility of these private spying firms filled with former IDF intelligence figures is that it allows it some measure of plausible deniability when confronted with spying attacks. As Haaretz explained: “Who owns [these spying companies] isn’t clear, but their employees aren’t soldiers. Consequently, they may solve the army’s problem, even if the solution they provide is imperfect.”

Today, former Unit 8200 agents not only create much of the world’s spyware, but also the security features that claim to protect against unwanted surveillance. A MintPress investigation found that three of the six largest VPN companies in the world are owned and controlled by an Israeli company co-founded by a Unit 8200 veteran.
How Unit 8200 Controls Palestinians

It is in Palestine, however, that Unit 8200 has been most active. The unit serves as the centerpiece of Israel’s hi-tech repressive state apparatus. Using gigantic amounts of data compiled on Palestinians by tracking their every move through facial recognition cameras, monitoring their calls, messages, emails and personal data, Unit 8200 has created a digital dragnet that it uses to snoop on, harass, and suppress Palestinians.

It compiles dossiers on virtually every Gaza resident, including their medical history, sex lives, and search histories, so that this information can be used for extortion or blackmail later. If, for example, an individual is cheating on their spouse, desperately needs a medical operation, or is secretly homosexual, this can be used as leverage to turn civilians into informants and spies for Israel.

One former Unit 8200 operative said that as part of his training, he was assigned to memorize different Arabic words for “gay” so that he could listen for them in phone conversations he was eavesdropping on.

Unit 8200 is also reportedly behind the even more controversial Project Lavender, a giant, AI-generated kill list of tens of thousands of Gazans that the IDF uses to target the densely populated strip’s civilian population.

Every Gazan (including children) is assigned a score of 1-100, based on their perceived proximity to Hamas. A wide range of characteristics will increase an individual’s score, including living or working in the same building or being in a WhatsApp group with a known or suspected Hamas member.

If a person’s number reaches a certain threshold, they are automatically added to a Unit 8200 kill list. This, one IDF commander explained, solved Israel’s perennial targeting “human bottleneck,” allowing them to carry out tens of thousands of strikes into Gaza during the first few weeks of the post-October 7 attack alone.

Unit 8200 is also widely reported to have carried out the Lebanon Pager Attack, exploding thousands of electronic devices at the same time, killing dozens and injuring thousands more. The operation was widely described, even by former CIA director Leon Panetta, as an act of terrorism.

This long history of violence, skulduggery, and spying raises troubling questions about whether a corporation founded and staffed by dozens of individuals from such an organization can be trusted with billions of users’ private and personal data.
Google’s Ties to Israeli Intelligence

Google’s purchase of Wiz deepens its already close ties to Unit 8200. In 2013, the tech giant acquired Waze, an online maps service founded by three Unit 8200 veterans, for $1.3 billion. It has also directly hired dozens of former spooks and spies to fill its ranks; a 2022 MintPress News investigation found at least 99 former Unit 8200 agents working at the Silicon Valley behemoth.

Among these figures is Gavriel Goidel, Head of Strategy and Operations for Google Research. Goidel joined Google in 2022 after a six-year career in military intelligence, during which he rose to become Head of Learning at Unit 8200. There, he led a large team of operatives who sifted through intelligence data to “understand patterns of hostile activists,” according to his own account.

Google is far from an outlier when it comes to hiring former Israeli spies to carry out its operations. Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon have all hired a significant number of ex-Unit 8200 agents. Even TikTok, supposedly a hotbed of anti-Semitism, employs a considerable number of ex-spooks. Perhaps most surprisingly, a number of top U.S. media outlets, including CNN and Axios, have recruited former Unit 8200 spies and analysts to write and produce America’s news about the Middle East.

Google has invested heavily in Israel, first opening offices there in 2006. Longtime CEO Eric Schmidt is known to be a vocal supporter of the controversial state. In a 2012 meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he declared that “the decision to invest in Israel was one of the best that Google has ever made.”

But the Wiz deal is undoubtedly the company’s biggest Israeli investment yet. The all-cash acquisition represents a massive injection of money into Israel’s flailing and war-weary economy, equivalent to 0.6% of the country’s GDP. The money, the Israeli press excitedly reports, will allow the government to continue without enacting major austerity measures, reduce the nation’s deficit, and enable Israel to continue on a wartime footing for longer. As such, it represents a move critics say amounts to a financial intervention on behalf of Israel. Moreover, it also sends a message to the rest of the business world to invest in the country, boosting investor sentiment at a time when it is most needed.

The size of the deal also surprised many. The price is similar to that of the sale of JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo in 2008, Visa Europe in 2017, and Twitter in 2022. Yet Wiz is a new and relatively unknown company, raising questions about its valuation.

Ultimately, though, these considerations are secondary to the main issue that such a group will now be charged with providing security for the data of billions of users worldwide. Given Unit 8200’s role in monitoring and targeting the Palestinian population, many will be wondering if, going forward, Google products are at all safe to use."

The Frankfurt School Finds Authoritarianism in the Family     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 4 weeks ago

2 comments

"Since Marxist revolution was so obviously desirable to the Frankfurt Intellectuals, they developed a theory in which [b]the failure of revolution could be attributed to psychopathology in the family.[/b]

As reviewed here, [b]the epitome of psychological health was the “genuine liberal” — a radical individualist who is completely detached from all ingroups, including race and family.[/b] White people who rejected their family as role models were analyzed as psychologically healthy, while those who had positive views of their parents were analyzed as psychologically inadequate.

Such a view is obviously subversive of traditional values, since competent parents transmit their religious and cultural values to their children, and at the time of the study, many of these competent White parents had a sense of White racial identity which they were transmitting to their children. The Frankfurt School was essentially claiming that White families who successfully transmitted their ethnocentric attitudes to their children were pathological — a view for which there isn’t a shred of evidence. (Needless to say, the successful transmission of Jewish identity to Jewish children was not considered a pathology.)

A major part of the intellectual ammunition for this assault on the people and culture of the West derived originally from Erich Fromm whose association with the Frankfurt School dates from 1930. Fromm pioneered the idea of combining Marx with Freud and was responsible for the early development of the authoritarian personality concept. Fromm’s ideas are an excellent illustration of the ludicrous but deadly theories that resulted from this marriage of these two influential Jewish philosophers."
-----skip----
In other words, psychologically healthy people have no psychological ties to anything except [b]their "active solidarity" with all of humanity.[//b] This lack of ethnic commitment is what defines freedom.

Fromm never saw any contradictions between this philosophy and his own strong Jewish identification. Fromm derived from an Orthodox Jewish religious background and was actively involved in promoting Jewish religion and culture in his 20s. Like many secular Jews on the left, Fromm's view of Judaism was that it was a set of ethical, humanistic beliefs — indeed, it is common to assert that his view of Judaism had a strong influence on his humanistic psychology.

Obviously, such a view of Judaism ignores the strong Jewish emphasis on identifying with an ethnically-based ingroup (and all that that entails in terms of between-group conflict) rather than with humanity as a whole. It also ignores the notorious moral particularism (Is it good for the Jews?) that is so characteristic of Judaism. [b]In any case, "although he later distanced himself from Judaism, it is reported that Fromm never tired of singing Hasidic songs or studying scripture." One suspects that whatever Fromm's public pronouncements, his identification with Judaism was quite a bit stronger than his identification with humanity."[/b]

El Salvador dictator calls himself “the world’s coolest dictator.” - Made in Israel     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 4 weeks ago

"Nayib Bukele’s El Salvador Dictatorship: Made in Israel" [Excerpted]

"Nayib Bukele may be Palestinian, but the dictatorship he has built in El Salvador is very much made in Israel. From arming his security forces to supplying him with weapons and high-tech surveillance tools, MintPress explores the Israeli influence helping to prop up the man who calls himself “the world’s coolest dictator.”

Arming a Dictatorship

Since Bukele’s ascension to the presidency in 2019, Israeli exports to El Salvador have been rapidly advancing, growing at an annual rate of more than 21%. This increase consists primarily of weapons. Salvadoran forces are well supplied with Israeli hardware. The military and police use the Israeli-made Galil and ARAD 5 rifles, the Uzi submachine gun, numerous Israeli pistols, and ride in AIL Storm and Plasan Yagu armored vehicles.

Some equipment Salvadoran forces use comes free, courtesy of Israeli sources. In 2019, an Israeli NGO, the Jerusalem Foundation (a group that builds illegal settlements on Palestinian land), announced that it would donate $3 million worth of supplies to the Salvadoran police and military.
----
In 2020, the Salvadoran police paid around $3.4 million for one year’s use of three Israeli spyware products. These tools include GEOLOC, a program that intercepts calls and texts from targeted phones, and Web Tangles, which uses individuals’ social media accounts to build up files on people, including using their photos for facial recognition. A third, Wave Guard Tracer (marketed in some regions as Guardian), tracks users’ movements through the GPS on their phone.

Perhaps the most notorious piece of spyware used, however, is Pegasus, developed by the NSO Group, an outgrowth of the Israeli Defense Forces’ Unit 8200. The app hit the headlines in 2022, when it was revealed that repressive governments the world over had used it to surveil thousands of public figures, including kings, presidents, politicians, activists, and reporters. El Salvador was one of the most heavily penetrated nations. A report from Citizen Lab found that the Bukele administration was using it to secretly monitor dozens of public figures critical of the president, including 22 journalists from the independent outlet El Faro.

A Palestinian Who Loves Israel

Amid the chaos, Bukele has fired tens of thousands of public service workers and reduced taxes on the business community. He has also reoriented El Salvador’s foreign policy from a progressive, anti-imperialist stance to allying itself with right-wing governments around the world, including Israel.

Despite coming from a prominent Palestinian family that emigrated from Jerusalem in the early 20th century, throughout his political career, he has made a point of vocally supporting Israel, its culture, and its foreign policy. As far back as 2015, when he was Mayor of San Salvador, the Israeli Embassy had identified him as a “partner for cooperation.”

Three years later, in February 2018, he visited Israel on a trip organized by Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tzipi Hotovely, and American Jewish Congress President, Jack Rosen. There, he participated in a security conference attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin, and made a public appearance at the Western Wall.

DARPA - Achieving Programmable Human-Machine Symbiosis, aka Transhumanism     (whatever)

"These monies are being used to invest in synthetic biology technologies that no reputable private venture capital firm will fund because the human applications of these biotechnologies are criminal."

May 7, 2025: The new head of DARPA’s BioTech Office, Mike Koeris, claims that the Internet, GPS technology and mRNA vaccines are all “hugely successful” programs funded by DARPA. Koeris is in charge of spending DARPA’s 2024 BioTech Office Budget of more than $4.1 billion.

It’s impossible that Koeris is unaware that the DARPA funded COVID-19 mRNA injections have caused an unprecedented incidence of disease, disabilities and death in America and around the world. Per a recent SynBio communication I received, DARPA’s definition of ‘a successful investment’ is quite different than those of traditional biopharma industry investment firms, it’s criminal.

Just as DARPA did in the recent past with investing in mRNA, these monies are being used to invest in synthetic biology technologies that no reputable private venture capital firm will fund

"The Other [jew] "Promised Land": The Forgotten Jewish Exodus to Texas"     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 4 weeks ago

0 comments


Long before Israel became a state, a bold plan aimed to settle thousands of Russian Jews in Galveston, Texas. Assimilation nearly buried the story.

One day in 1895, a British Jewish writer named Israel Zangwill answered a knock on his door. Outside stood a tall, dark-haired Jewish journalist who’d traveled from Vienna. “I am Theodor Herzl,” the stranger announced. “Help me rebuild the Jewish State.”

It also tells the story of Cockerell’s great grandfather David Jochelman, who became disillusioned with the slow pace of founding the Jewish state, and embarked on a plan of his own: bringing thousands and thousands of Russian Jews to a different sort of “Promised Land”: Galveston, Texas, where he eventually helped 10,000 start new lives.
----
“Galveston is now a household word and a word of hope throughout the Pale,” declared Jochelman’s partner, Israel Zangwill, in 1907, in one of the many first-person accounts that make up this book. The first Jews set sail from Russia to Galveston in 1907. Even though the trip was longer and more expensive than traveling to New York, Jochelman had so thoroughly persuaded Russian Jews that Galveston was their ideal new home – their Promised Land – that 10,000 Russian Jews eventually made the journey.

Pope Leo XIV's father Louis Marius Prevost was of Italian and French descent.

Pope Leo XIV's mother Mildred (née Martínez) Prevost was the daughter of Louisiana Creole Parents, Joseph Martínez from Haiti and Louise Baquié from New Orleans, who were of African, French, and Spanish descent.

Joseph Martínez was of mixed Afro-Haitian descent, and Louise Baquié was a mixed-race Black Creole. [PHOTOS @ SITE]

An ABC article stated:

Both of Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents, Joseph Martinez and Louise Baquié, are described as Black or mulatto in several census documents.

On their 1887 marriage license, Martinez listed his birthplace as Haiti, and birth records show that he was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Chris Smothers, professional genealogist for 15 years and historian studying at Simmons University, told ABC News that these were the same territories at the time. Baquié’s birth records show she was born in New Orleans.

…On the 1900 census, while his family lived in New Orleans, both Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents and his aunts — Irma and Margaret — were identified as Black. However, in 1920, after the family migrated to Chicago and had the pope’s mother Mildred, that decade’s census reflected their race as white."

The Decivilizing of America and Imported Aliens     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 4 weeks ago

5 comments


"Secure borders and stationary populations were considered the mark of emerging civilization by classical historians. In contrast to nomadism and constant strife over disputed territory, peoples who had clearly defined and protected borders ascended to statehood, maintained a distinct culture, and achieved greater prosperity and security.

In contrast, what we suffered from 2021 to 2025 was unprecedented. It was an intentional administration effort to de-civilize the nation by destroying its borders—as if to return to the premodern era, when there were no clearly defined or secure borders, and nomadic peoples migrated as they pleased.

Stranger still, illegal aliens were at times given precedence over citizens—as immigration law was simply discarded.

Without IDs, illegal aliens boarded U.S. flights, while the government ordered citizens to obtain more secure “real” IDs.

Some 8,500 veteran soldiers were drummed out of the military for refusing the experimental mRNA vaccinations. Yet 10 million simply walked across the southern border into America, without a care from the Biden administration whether they were vaccinated, ill, or had criminal records.

Any American citizen pulled over for speeding with an invalid driver’s license, while trafficking eight illegal aliens without identification, would be jailed and charged with felony counts. Not Abrego Garcia—the violent spousal abuser, M-13 gang-member, and previously deported illegal alien. He was neither arrested nor even cited by the officers who pulled him over...."

"NOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN LEGALLY KILL CHRISTIANS"

[by Bill Dannemeyer, U.S. Congressman, 1979-1992 ]
Bill had TRIED to warn the American people.

[SOURCE]:
http://www.spingola.com/Dannemeyer.html

[Excerpts only are below]:
----
On March 5, 1991, in the House of Representatives, and March 7, 1991, in the U.S. Senate, without any knowledge of, or input by, the people of the United States, U.S. Senators and Congressmen passed a law that is so outrageous – and frankly unconstitutional – that it forces the American people to be bound by a set of monstrous rules, called the Noahide Laws, rules that make the belief in Jesus Christ a crime punishable by decapitation by guillotine! On March 20, 1991, President George H.W. Bush, a supposed Christian, signed the bill into law.
----
"HJ Res. 104:
102nd CONGRESS
1st Session
H. J. RES. 104
JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate March 26, 1991, as `Education Day, U.S.A.'."

"NOAHIDE LAW

Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;"
----
"The committee referred this Resolution to the House for a vote on March 5, 1991. But here is where the real treachery begins! The record states that the House of Representatives passed this Resolution by “Unanimous Consent.” But what the average American does not know is that “Unanimous Consent” is a euphemism for getting a bill passed “under the radar” with almost NO ONE present to vote AND with NO RECORD of who voted or HOW they voted."
----
"On the day this Resolution was “passed,” the entire membership of the House of Representatives had already been dismissed after having been told that the day’s work, including all the voting, was over. We could all go home. It was THEN, after virtually ALL members had left, that the traitorous authors of this Resolution brought it up for a vote on the House floor – with only four hand-picked members present. It was then deceitfully “passed” by “Unanimous Consent” on March 5, 1991, by voice vote with almost NO ONE there and NO RECORD made of their names or how they voted. Two days later, on March 7 1991, the U.S. Senate passed the Resolution by voice vote, also with no recorded vote. On March 20, 1991, it was signed by President George H. W. Bush and became Public Law 102-14."

[b]"Bringing up HJ Res. 104 for passage at a time when the process selected assured that no more than four members of the House of Representatives were present, each of whom was committed to the passage of HJ Res. 104, guaranteed that when the request for unanimous consent was expressed on the floor of the House, no one was around to object. And because no one objected, passage was obtained with no member having his or her vote recorded in favor of or against the Resolution. By design there was no roll call vote and thus no member was held accountable for what Congress did."[/b]
----
"Jews, who by their financial contributions to members of Congress, claim they control what Congress will or will not do. A look at the recent history of U.S. politics confirms this. “He who has the gold – rules!”

Stephen Sizer, author of the book, Christian Zionism, first published in 2004, states:

“The Unity Coalition for Israel (UCFI) is probably the most recent network of Christian Zionists to be formed in the US yet it is already the largest and most powerful. The UCFI was founded by Esther Levens, a Jew, in Kansas in 1994 and now comprises a broad coalition of 200 different and autonomous Jewish and Christian organizations representing 40 million members who are ‘dedicated to a secure Israel’. Their principal strategy is to lobby the US media and political establishment, to challenge what they term ‘disinformation and propaganda’ and to express ‘the truth about Israel’. The UCFI includes three of the largest Christian Zionist organizations: Bridges for Peace, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, and Christians for Israel.

[b]This coalition has a major influence on both the Republican and Democratic parties by providing the bulk of campaign funding to both sides. Aluf Ben, a spokesman for Shimon Peres, was quoted in Ha’aretz, a leading newspaper in Israel, as claiming that sixty percent of all financial help to Democrats came from Jewish sources.’ According to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, ‘most pro-Israel fund-raisers estimate that at least 60 to 90 percent of Democratic campaign funding comes from Jewish sources, which also supply perhaps 40 percent of Republican funding’.[/b] Christian Zionists have also been influential in forging a closer relationship with Israel by facilitating solidarity pilgrimages and educational tours to the Holy Land.” (page 215)"

"Item 30.15 of the JHR was a routine announcement concerning recesses and a joint session with the President of the United States:
-----
[b]"But then after almost everyone was gone for the day, Item 30.16 on the agenda, HJ Res. 104, the Resolution in question, was surreptiously brought up on the House floor with only four members present, who spoke on behalf of the Resolution.[/b] This is how it occurred:

Congressman [b]Thomas Sawyer (D-OH), the Chairman of the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service asked for “unanimous consent” to take up HJ Res. 104.[/b] Congressman Thomas Ridge (R-PA) reserved the right to object, but did not object. If he had objected, it would have stopped the process of unanimous consent. Instead, he acknowledged the work of Minority Leader Michel who was the chief sponsor of this legislation and he then yielded to (Jewish) Congressman Benjamin Gilman (R-NY). Congressman Gilman spoke briefly as did Minority Leader Michel. It appears likely that these four Congressmen were the only ones present.

After assisting with the underhanded passage of HJ Res. 104, Congressman Thomas Ridge also subsequently assisted in the cover up of the truth of 9/11, claiming that flight #93 crashed in Pennsylvania, even though NO parts of an airplane or passengers or baggage were ever found. From then on Thomas Ridge’s career blossomed! At the time of 9/11, Ridge was Governor of Pennsylvania (1995-2001). But in 2003, Ridge was named the First Secretary of the new Department of Homeland Security (2003-2005). After the tragic multiple shootings at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, Ridge became part of the committee to cover up what actually happened in that event."

Continuing with the debacle of the “Noahide Laws” passage, the Speaker pro tempore asked if there was any objection to the request from Congressman Sawyer. There was no objection.

30.16 EDUCATION DAY, U.S.A.
On motion of Mr. Sawyer, by unanimous consent, the Committee on Post Office and Civil service was discharged from further consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 104) to designate March 26, 1991, as “Education Day, U.S. A.”
When said joint resolution was considered, read twice, ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, was read a third time by title, and passed.
A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said joint resolution was passed was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in said joint resolution.

[b]Their total remarks consumed no more than four or five minutes and there was not even a mention of the Seven Noahide Laws.[/b] For the balance of the early evening these routine non-controversial items were considered by the “House” with only these four members present."

"A Jewish website, www.NoahideNations.com, states that the worship of any deity other than God, which includes Jesus Christ, is idolatry. The penalty for idolatry is decapitation.

Moses Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon 1138-1204) is recognized for his preeminence as a Jewish philosopher. Maimonides’ Mishnah Torah, Chapter 10 of the English translation, states concerning Jesus Christ:

“It is a mitzvah (religious command or duty), however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minim (Gentiles = non-Jews), and apikorsim (secular Jews), and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot.” Sanh.57A of the Talmud states the penalty for disobedience, with these words:

“One additional element of greater severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noahide to capital punishment by decapitation.”

The ground work is already being laid for the plan, with roads and infrastructure being built over what used to be Gazan homes. The Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said Israeli forces had been planning their entry into Gaza after President Trump left the Middle East, should ceasefire negotiations in Doha fail to bear fruit. No progress from those talks have been reported and Trump left the region on Thursday.

The 14th Amendment first used against White people is now used against everyone in America to dilute the power of our country and people, by the same ones for which our constitution was designed to protect against, by limiting and prohibiting their globalist actions.

Universal equality is a myth being used against all our people by a government under the control of globalists, and the international jewish networks spread worldwide, their most active and ardent supporters, who are led and directed by jewish international-global financiers.

"Real Reason for the 14th Amendment"
Albert V. Burns

Last week we discussed the incredible manner through which the 14th Amendment was maneuvered into the Constitution. The ostensible reason why the Republican radicals worked so hard to get the 14th Amendment to the Constitution declared as ratified (however spurious that ratification might be) was to guarantee the freedom and rights of former slaves. However, history has shown that to have been of negligible concern to those in power.

It is interesting to note that Alexis DeToqueville, in his book "Democracy In America," published in 1835, wrote that racial prejudice was stronger in the North than in the South. He stated: "The prejudice of race appears to be stronger in the states that have abolished slavery than in those where it still exists." Northern states enacted discriminatory "black codes" long before they came into being in ANY southern state. Illinois, in 1848, Oregon, in 1857, Indiana, in 1862, all had laws severely restricting the rights of blacks and mulattos who were not allowed to enter into legal contracts, could not testify in court against whites, were not allowed to immigrate, legally, into these states or if they did come in had to post a $1000 bond to guarantee that they would behave "properly."

Other northern states and cities had similar laws. Northern newspapers such as the Philadelphia Daily News, the Daily Chicago Times, and even the New York Times were printing blatantly racist editorials. Some of the radical legislators in Congress who forced through the 14th Amendment had previously supported the discriminatory laws in their own home states.[b] No, Southern racism was NOT the primary reason for the 14th Amendment![/b]

[b]Almost as soon as the ink was dry on the document declaring that the 14th Amendment was officially a part of the Constitution, efforts began to be made to use Section 1, of the amendment, as a weapon to destroy the rights of the individual states or the citizens therein.[/b]

Section 1 of the 14th Amendment states:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

[b]As previously stated, the Constitution was designed to regulate the power and activities of the FEDERAL government. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to further spell out the activities which the FEDERAL government could NOT DO! Amendments 9 and 10 were deliberately added to PROTECT the States and their affairs FROM interference by the federal government. For instance, it was universally recognized that while Congress could NOT make any law respecting the establishment of religion, several of the individual STATES which ratified the Constitution AND the Bill of Rights DID have established STATE religions.[/b]

[b]With the addition of the 14th Amendment, groups and individuals began to file cases in federal courts claiming that this amendment GAVE the federal government AUTHORITY to supervise the activities of both state and local governments ‑ an exact REVERSAL of the original intent of the Founding Fathers. The first case which advanced this doctrine reached the Supreme Court in 1873. That Supreme Court held that the 14th Amendment did NOT grant such authority to the federal government.[/b]

There was a clear intent in succeeding years to transform our "federal" system into a "centralized" government system by transferring all rights and powers of the individual States to Washington. Those who wanted to achieve this result kept bringing cases attacking states rights to the Supreme Court in an effort to get the Court to change its position on this vital point. According to a study called "The Constitution of the United States of America: Analysis and Interpretation: Annotations of Cases Decided by the Supreme Court of the United States to June 30, 1952," also known as Senate Document No. 170, the position of the Court began to weaken at the beginning of the 1900s, and by the 1930s the Supreme Court had begun to, tentatively, assume jurisdiction under the 14th Amendment to act as "censor upon...legislation of the States."

[b]With the appointment of Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by Dwight Eisenhower, the Court began to simply USURP power under the "equal protection" phrase of the 14th Amendment, to do ANYTHING desired by a majority of the Court. The "equal protection" doctrine has been used by the Court to impose FEDERAL mandates upon the States in such areas as education, voting rights, abortion, religious instruction, labor disputes, and the list goes on and on. Precisely the kind of judicial tyranny which Thomas Jefferson warned of when he described federal judges as those who would be "constantly working underground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric."[/b]

A jew banker explains the jews "Left vs Right" Charade     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 1 month ago

"Otto Kahn, (1869-1934) was a partner with Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg in America's most influential investment bank Kuhn Loeb ."

"Asked why bankers would back Bolshevism, a system supposedly inimical to private ownership, Kahn tugged on his enormous cigar and explained that the bankers create apparent opposites to "remake the world" according to their specifications:

"You say that Marxism is the very antithesis of capitalism, which is equally sacred to us. It is precisely for this reason that they are direct opposites to one another, that they put into our hands the two poles of this planet and allow us to be its axis. These two contraries, like Bolshevism and ourselves, find their identity in the International

"These opposites ... meet again in the identity of their purpose and end in the remaking of the world from above by the control of riches, and from below by revolution.
-----

"This is achieved by a Hegelian dialectical process of creating adversaries (thesis-antithesis) and achieving a synthesis that corresponds to their goals. In the process, potential opponents are eliminated.

COMMUNISM-CAPITALISM

In the Red Symphony revelation, insider Christian Rakovsky showed how Communism and Capitalism were part of this dialectical process. In each case, the Illuminati Jewish banking cartel controls all wealth and power.

"In Moscow, there is Communism: in New York capitalism. It is all the same as the thesis and antithesis. Analyze both. Moscow is subjective Communism but [objectively] State capitalism. New York: Capitalism is subjective, but Communism objective. A personal synthesis, truth: the Financial International, the Capitalist Communist one. 'They.' "

In the USSR, the State owned the corporations and the bankers owned the State, i.e. State Capitalism. The US also has Communism objectively because the same bankers control most of the corporations."
-----
"NOTE:

Otto Kahn also exemplifies how these bankers create reality by controlling what passes for culture. Kahn financed many movies and virtually created New York's Metropolitan Opera. He was responsible for introducing Stanislavski, Nijinski, the Abbey Players, the Moscow Art Theater, and practically every other important personage and event in the most vigorous era of American theatrical history. He subsidized, sponsored, and had close relationships with Toscanini, Caruso, Chaliapin, Pavlova, Pirandello, Eugene O'Neill, Paul Robeson, Grace Moore, and hundreds of other artists whose names are now part of that history.

Apparent to all with eyes to see, their satanic agenda includes destroying marriage and family and mainstreaming satanism, homosexuality, pornography, promiscuity, pederasty, and incest."

"A “Filaments” Perspective : 25 Years and Counting…" - Jan 13 2024

"For the past several years, there has been some attention given to the presence of unusual filaments within blood samples, blood clots, and (purported) “vaccine” studies. If studied adequately, it will be determined that these filaments have a complex internal biology within them, down to the sub-micron level (minimum). Various names and chemical identities have been assigned to these filaments, such as “ribbons”, “threads”, “graphene oxide”(i.e., elementary chemistry) and the like. There are numerous implications from various researchers that these filaments originate from the advent of the “Covid Era”.

The characterization of these filaments as a product only of recent years, i.e., from purported “vaccines”, is mistaken. Any characterization of the filaments as being of relatively simple or uniform chemistry is mistaken. Any characterization of the filaments as being an unknown and mysterious entity (with no effort expended to remedy that ignorance) is equally inadequate and mistaken.

It is a disservice to simplify their nature, origin, constitution, and capabilities. These filaments, actually a product of synthetic biology, have altered human biology in untold ways for decades and they are NOT a mystery as to their origin or general nature. Any perpetuation of that myth is either from ignorance or with motive."

Israel’s secret torture facility, 1391     (whatever)

submitted by Flanders to whatever 1 month ago

"Secret but not forgotten - Israel’s facility 1391 - “Israel’s Guantanamo”, but worse"
by Middle East Monitor

In May 2009, the United Nations Committee Against Torture brought up the issue of Facility 1391, a clandestine Israeli prison where Palestinian, Lebanese, and other Arab prisoners are detained and subjected to torture. The committee called upon Israel to grant the International Committee of the Red Cross access to this prison and demanded to know if there were other secret prisons in Israel.

The existence of Facility 1391 came to light in 2002, purely by accident. An Israeli human rights group, Hamoked, which provides assistance to Palestinian prisoners, demanded to know where Bashar and Mohammed Jadallah, two Palestinian cousins who could not be traced by their families after their arrest by the Israeli army, were being held. Israeli authorities were forced to admit they were in a secret prison. The location of that prison was also discovered accidentally a short time later. In 2003, Gad Kroizer, an Israeli historian, was researching old police buildings from the time of the British Mandate, when he came across a 70-year-old map displaying 62 such buildings. He discovered that one of the buildings shown, called Meretz, could not be seen on any modern Israeli maps, and was not referred to in any of the literature relating to Israeli security compounds. He soon put two and two together. Israeli authorities had done a thorough job in wiping away any trace of the facility from maps. It is, however, visible on Google Earth and is located near the town of Pardes Hanna-Karkur.

The facility is inside a military base controlled by Unit 504, a secret unit of the Intelligence Corps responsible for gathering “human intelligence” outside Israel. Unit 504 runs a network of collaborators in Lebanon and Facility 1391 started out as a detention center for prisoners captured or kidnapped by the Israelis in Lebanon in the 1980s. Among the abductees held there were Sheikh Abdul Karim Obeid, a Hizbullah leader seized from his home in Southern Lebanon in 1989, and Mustafa Dirani, head of security of the Amal Movement, who was kidnapped in 1994. The prisoners also included people who the Israelis said were abducted in order to be exchanged for the Israeli air force pilot Ron Arad who was captured by Amal in Lebanon in 1986. These included Hashem Fahaf, a 20-year-old who was visiting Sheikh Obeid on the night he was abducted and who spent the next 11 years in Facility 1391, and two youths, aged 16 and 17. Following the outbreak of the second Palestinian intifada in 2000, Unit 504 began to operate in the Palestinian territories and Israel began to detain Palestinians in Facility 1391 for the first time. Marwan Barghouthi, a prominent leader of the intifada, is perhaps the best-known Palestinian to spend time in the secret prison.

Facility 1391 has often been called “Israel’s Guantanamo”. However the situation there is even worse than in Guantanamo in at least one way. While the Red Cross has access to the notorious American detention center, it has never been allowed to visit Facility 1391; neither has any other international organization. Even members of the Israeli Knesset have been denied access to it by Israeli courts. Practically all the information about the facility comes from the testimony of prisoners held there. A former Israeli justice minister, David Libai, claimed to know nothing about Facility 1391 when interviewed.

This secrecy surrounding the prison plays a key role in the torture of the prisoners held there, most of which is psychological. Prisoners arriving in Facility 1391 were led blindfolded into their cells. They were told by their captors that they were “outside the borders of Israel”, “in a submarine”, “in Honolulu”, or “on the moon”. The prisoners were held in cells with no windows. The lighting provided was barely equivalent to that of a candle. It was so dark that they had difficulty seeing their own hands. A repetitive and deafening sound, given off by a fan was constantly present. The cells there were of varying sizes but most were 2x2 meters. Some cells, used to hold prisoners who were still under interrogation were only 1.25x1.25 meters. One prisoner reported being held in a cell no wider than a mattress. Prisoners were given sacks on arrival in the prison and told that they must place them on their heads any time a guard entered their cell or gave them food. They were threatened with dire consequences if they failed to follow this instruction or glimpsed a soldier’s face. The use of beatings, sleep deprivation, and forced feeding was routine.

Toilet facilities consisted of a bucket placed in each of the tiny cells and emptied every few days. In most of the cells there was no running water; “luxury” cells had running water but this was under the control of the guards. One prisoner, Raed Bader, noted the following in Facility 1391, “On the ninth consecutive day in the stench-filled cell, one of the soldiers was supposed to come and take me out. He almost vomited and rushed out of the cell,” because of the smell of the unemptied bucket. Bader also speaks of the role isolation played in his torture, “I spent many days in that solitary confinement cell and in others like it, and hour after hour I would talk to myself and feel that I was going crazy, or find myself laughing to myself.”

Palestinian Hassan Rawajbeh mentioned that he had been in six Israeli prisons before “but these experiences were like five star hotels compared to 1391.” He said that for four months the only people he saw were his interrogators and that he was kept naked for days on end. It seems that the technique of using the taboos of Arab culture and Islam concerning nudity against prisoners, which was later employed in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, was pioneered in this prison. Prisoners were not only forced to remain naked, they were photographed in this state as well.

They were also subjected to sexual abuse and rape. Mustafa Dirani filed a lawsuit against the Israeli authorities, stating that he was raped by four soldiers on the orders of an officer known only as Major George. On another occasion, Major George himself raped Dirani with a stick. Dirani’s account is backed up by one of the interrogators who worked in the facility, who says that it was common practice to threaten prisoners with the insertion of a stick if they did not talk. In his defense Major George, who was later dismissed from the army, stated that everything he had done was in accordance with the standard practice of Unit 504. Sixty other officers signed a petition in his support confirming this.

Human rights activists have a very simple explanation for the existence of Facility 1391. Manal Hazzan, a human rights lawyer working with Hamoked says, “Our main conclusion is that it exists to make torture possible - a particular kind of torture that creates progressive states of dread, dependency, debility. The law gives the army enough authority already to hide prisoners, so why do they need a secret facility?” Hamoked has also stated that, “The detention conditions... are not proper for holding a human being, and are liable to cause physical and psychological injury, which may even be irreversible”. Indeed, Ghassan Dirani, a relative of Mustafa Dirani, developed catatonic schizophrenia as a result of his incarceration.

It is widely believed that Facility 1391 is only one of several secret prisons in Israel where Palestinians captured in Israel’s war on Gaza December 2008 and January 2009 were held as “illegal combatants”.
