    Trump fires three top pro-Israel officials amid reported rift with Netanyahu

    Merav Ceren, Eric Trager, and Morgan Ortagus were axed reportedly due to pro-Israel stances

    Two had been appointed by Mike Waltz — himself recently ousted

    Morgan Ortagus is the woman who caused chaos in Lebanon, telling them what to do.

    But another extraordinary thing .. Missiles into the Occupied Golan from Syria? 2 of them, more or less, at the same time as the Houthis’ missiles into Israel. A group calling itself the “Martyr Mohammed Deif Brigades” has claimed responsibility for the rocket attack on the occupied Golan.

    Its good to listen to Sal. I have a few of those as well – just the ones that tell a different story and a different take on things.  I cannot always listen but it is good when I can.

    And even a bunch of grain on a ship falls over or is in a storm that takes down ship and cargo, can create damage unbelievable and costly – numbers that my head does not wrap itself around.  And for crude, wow.

    But Sal is wrong in one respect .. there is insurance – not your daddy’s ship’s insurance but there is a mechanism.  I picked that fact up one day but did  not stick around for the details.

    Lavrov opens a page – Russia is not stopping after its 100 km buffer zone. Now queue Medvedev. This is their last chance before complete surrender. (That would be Ukraine, not only the traditional Russian oblasts).

    Big Big change here.

    Kiev and its chihuahuas have always expected that Russia will take some and leave the rest intact – so has everyone – the proverbial Rump Ukraine. Looks like Russia is turning that certainty on its head. (I giggle .. how about the US finding that Russia is holding their so-called minerals mining agreements with Ukraine.)

    Here is Kwan’s Korner with his 10 short videos for this week.  I usually check his selection during the week but Quan (Dr Quan Le) marches to his own drummer and I cannot always figure his reasoning for selecting something. We do chat from time to time and I’ll post anything material as I really vibe with him on principles (but not on his video selection always).

    Well the phonecall is on. Vance is saying a few things .. There are economic benefits to stop the war (of course with the US) but Putin will not get them if the war continues. Then, Vance is not sure if Putin has a strategy to’unwind the war’, and then goes into Russian manufacturing which is now manufacturing for war Vance says .. So Putin has no strategy.

    My money is on Putin. These kids are lost. Review Medvedev just for incase.

    Oh dear, slow down, lol. Quan sends out 10 videos a week, and I can seldom post one. He is working according to the lovely noise in his head, and I like the noise, but I cannot sing with!

    Here is Kwan’s corner: https://jeffjbrown.substack.com/p/kwans-korner-with-videos-on-india?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F414a700d-1ce6-49bd-b3a2-b9413200e01a_320x400.jpeg&open=false

    This is not really apocalypse.

    I know the little town of Cuauhtemoc – that was Pancho Villa territory, and there was this little roadside restaurant that was dedicated to him .. photos all over and exhibitions – I got to love Pancho Villa, El Jefe. So, the name has meaning for me. Also a friend was the skipper of a 3-master tall ship – cannot remember if it was a schooner – for a huge multinational company, when they entertained the high and mighty. He skippered in those waters in all the tall ships parades. Good stories were told. Poor ship and poor sailors.

    Russia Detains Oil Tanker That Left Estonia, Report Says – Bloomberg

    Russia detained the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Green Admire, which left the port of Sillamae and was sailing through Russian territorial waters, Estonian Public Broadcasting said Sunday, citing the Estonian Department of Transport.

    The vessel is owned by Aegean Shipping of Greece and carrying shale oil on board. It was following a previously agreed route and its final destination was Rotterdam, according to the report.

    The incident happened three days after Russia sent a plane in connection with Estonia‘s attempt to stop a Russian shadow oil tanker.

    Ships leaving the port of Sillamae typically pass through Russian waters as the route is safer for large vessels than the passage between shoals in Estonian waters. Estonia’s Department of Transport said that it was the first such incident and that it will direct ships arriving in and leaving Sillamae through the territorial waters of Estonia to avoid a recurrence, according to the report.

    Just because the internet is in a crazy mess with AI and so on ..

    Ken Lovegrove: People like @RealPepeEscobar talking about a big trap being laid against Russia in these negotiations. Any thoughts?
    [what? where did he say that? his latest article literally had in the title KABUKI. Some people…]

    He made a general comment saying Russia needs to be aware of the trap of Minsk3 – not direct wording but something like that – not very material.

    Hi dear friends … the site is under attack right now.  Zio trolls, looks like – we are swinging into action with some tools that we’ve developed over the past month or so.  For now, and in a very little while as soon as it can be done, any new registrations will not be accepted.  Will open this up again when we can.  Bastards.   Bear in mind that we can gather in the alternative space on Telegram if this problem persists.

    They’ve just taken Red Media down with legal action. https://thered.stream/red-media-is-closing-this-is-why/

    Of course we look at eyes and at posture and at general demeanor.  But we don’t have a clue about the soul.  So, there is no way that we can ‘diagnose’ if you like, by eyes alone.

    Because old civilizations do not have words to differentiate, it does not mean there is no differentiation. It only means that it was different then and we have more tools today.  Good or bad, well, one of my favorites Thomas Sazz says that man (in the big understanding of that word), no matter how mad, always holds a level of self-control .. always.  There is always a speck of self-knowledge.  Translated to Netanyahu and Jewlani, they know what they are doing.  In some manner or form, they have self-control and it is by decision that they do what they do.  They are not helpless in the clutches of some invisible force although I am not denying that invisible force exists.

    Tell me how one will take anyone to justice by the look in their eyes?  One can only look at your own reaction to someone else’s eyes and demeanor.  That is a two-way street.

    Sure, we can fall in love by eyes and there is plenty of lore.  There are old Ayurvedic practices around the eyes.  There is yoga for eyes alone.  There is sun therapies for eyes.  As one can go to a gym and bulk up your muscles, one can work with eye muscles as well.  There are tried and tested therapies for kids with ‘wandering’ eyes for example.  And a tiny fraction of change in the gaze, makes one hell of a difference.  It is possibly the eastern peoples who, when they came into contact with the western peoples in modern times with the disdain that they experienced, started to worry about their eye shape.

    Even beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.  It is what you see, and not necessarily the other person’s state.  It is one’s own experience.

    Humans are unique, including their eyes.  Cast eyes up and not down – the whole head, shoulders, and posture.  There is much spiritual ground for that – Cast your eyes up to the mountains for example.  Slaves downcast their eyes because they must do so, in order not to look upon those who consider themselves better, the slave masters.  If you are thinking, the eyes and the head drop – as an effort to close down the impulses from the rest of the world and grab some alone time.  Rodin’s The Thinker.

    I am saying that any soul ‘sickness’ does not necessarily manifest in the eyes in such a manner that it is always visible for you and I to see and to make judgements on.   It is but one’s own experience.  After all, again scripturally it is said that the evil one will disguise as an ‘angel of the light’ to deceive.

    There are aspects of our world, ourselves, and our invisible interaction with fellows that we know very little about, and saying someone else is possessed using a pic?  While we do not know possession, we do not know soul sickness and we cannot identify evil just quickly, is in my view a a very dangerous path to walk.  There is an invisible world.  Jung crawled into that, he crawled into madness with forethought, because he wanted to experience it.

    The Chinese do not always seek evil first.  That is so refreshing.  They have many descriptions for eyes .. romantic ones mainly.  But look at number 2 and number 4 and check your own reaction.  By definition westerners do not trust ‘slanty eyes’.  There are physical differences between the different peoples in our world.

    Oh, let me object.  This eye thing is like phrenology where some stupid scientists said that personality traits can be defined by the bumps in your skull (yeah, they were racist in the main).  Where we live we have European style eyes, more open, blue, green and so on, and local indian style eyes, dark and round with an iris dark as a little round raisin.   Ssurely, possession cannot be defined by where your iris sits in its orbit.  There are like six muscles there, lots of little ones as well, if I remember correctly.   Jewlani may be insane which would be my bet in terms of his seemingly easy transposition of various personas, but is insanity possession by some evil entity?  Or is it a severe or less severe unsoundness of mind compared with what we have defined as normal?

    Do we have those kinds of people deviating from the norm with us anyway?   We may consider homosexual folks for example as wrong or ill or something, but we do know that they deviate from what is defined the norm and we do know we have +- 5% of those folks with us, for ages already.  So is it a trait of human society to have Jewlani’s and Netenyahu’s with us anyway?  Psychiatrists who were halfway right like Thomas Szasz defined that there is no such thing as a mental illness and those types of diagnosis are all to do with psychosocial issues, ethics, morals and politics. The norm for physicality is around a structural or functional integrity (the six muscles).  The norm for anything else is entirely shaky as the norm kinda defies definition.

    Is Netanyahu insane or possessed?  As one measures insanity as a variation of ‘so-called normal’, in my book he is insane because normal does not include killing a whole slice of humanity.  Possession is a different thing.  One can be possessed by a holy spirit, and that is where we find dervish dancers for example.  Where do their eyes appear – sometimes rolled up in their heads?  So all of these things are different areas on a spectrum they call it as you would know  and even the first definition, deviant from some norm, is very shaky.

    We can all make our eyes look mad and at least I have played with the kids and we all gave one another the evil eye to great hilarity.   Eyes are muscular structure.  The rest is deviance from a norm that we set ourselves psychosocially, ethically, morals and politics.  At least when I grew up and I’m sure you too we did not have men with nothing on and their goolies flapping around crawling around with dogleashes and collars and total deviance.  That was something that society did, all by themselves.  They set that, as a new norm (and thank God it caught on only in certain areas).   One just cannot define by eye shape a person possessed which is spiritual, or mentally deranged.  Physiology is different from psychology is different from spirituality.  These days they talk about neurobiology, but, it is same old, just more ‘scientific’.

    These scientists still cannot take a Netanyahu or a Jewlani and make ’em part of the norm.  The Chinese did some stuff (probably water torture (joke), I don’t think it was usual stuff) and they dealt with their violent extremists.
