ParticipantTroubling to be abroad on a US passport…yes, the thought has long occurred to me.
And yet – if Israel should come to an end, that final colonial project, and if Palestine should become sovereign again…it would be lovely to visit that land one day, for the pleasure of knowing that people.
I would have to enter on a US passport, and depend on their compassion…

ParticipantThese guys are seriously into the solar shifts and the geomagnetic shakeup:

There are cycles that we exist within, solar, galactic, etc. They’ve been recorded over the eons, and we seem to be due for a cyclic massive event, maybe starting anywhere from yesterday to within the next 30 years, from what I can glean.
But unfortunately, we’re locked in local conflicts down here on the planet, and can’t seem to lift our heads up yet to notice this. Hopefully China will.

ParticipantThank you – what’s astonishing is that they’re only now starting to figure this out.

ParticipantOur brother Shahid Bolsen doesn’t always say things we agree with, but when he does, it’s powerful. Personally I think he knocks it out of the park with this little explication:
The deviance of political Judaism. AKA Zionism
Once again he does what he does so well, which is to place the Jews and the Muslims in such a firm, historical and cultural – and spiritual – setting that all factions realize they’ve been gamed and corrupted by the Zionists, both of the Jewish and the Christian persuasion.
As we know, Zionism is the enemy, and for Jews – who across the world today are in some degree of trepidation and fear – it’s necessary as always to remember that they were only ever safe under Muslim rule.
The Jews and the Muslims are cousins, says Bolsen – and the Zionists are massacring those cousins because THEY, the Zionists, are not Jews. The Zionists have abandoned and rejected their religion, and cannot claim any longer to be Jews.
Eleven minutes, and worth a listen, I suggest.

Imagine: if out of this nightmare in Palestine, the true Jews (the faithful) and the true Muslims (the faithful) came together and just lived together in safety and harmony…imagine, then, how the good would have triumphed, even out of madness.

ParticipantThank you. My fear has been that the world’s condemnation of Israel would begin to fade…your reports make this seem unlikely, however. As long as this grows, then the action of Hamas continues to succeed.
Sudhi’s post up-thread at #20561 of the Victory of Hamas makes a related case.
May this all be so – as well as the undoubted military victories that the battlefield will show us in the next week.
Grieved
ParticipantI do not believe that Hamas has not thought of all these things. We shall see
I think that every dying Palestinian knew all this very clearly, and passed on the legacy to the fighters still living. And I think the fighters only live to win, or else what is there? And to win means to be clear eyed and practical.
Chin up, friend AHH. The Resistance has either already understood all these things and planned for them, or the whole affair is hollow.
We cannot believe in hollowness until it is shown to us. And even then…
The Resistance has this theater – it belongs to the natives. The locals are shaping the battlefield. The Resistance has already joined the fray and will go all the way if needs must, regardless of its measured preferences for how they might have chosen it. They will go to the death, if so opens the course of the war.
They will show us how to kick the colonialists out of their land. And then some. The colonialists will be lucky if this travail does not follow them home to their own lands, following the tail tucked between the legs until the pursuit is simply not worth it anymore.

ParticipantThis is a war of escalation, thin slice by thin slice. And the Resistance is turning up the flame of escalation, under the boiling frogs of Israel and the west, and they don’t even know it.
We see now that Hezbollah joined the war on October 8, as Nasrallah attests. So Hezbollah is already in the war – and did not say it would ever leave the war. It may not look like much of a war from the outside armchairs, but Hezbollah fights as it chooses, as does Hamas, as do the other forces of the Resistance, choosing targets long contemplated, weighing a correlation of forces long observed – and acting with a measured calm.
The point is that the forces are shaping the battlefield, to their preference. Nothing happening here is a case of reaction, except by the west and its colonial project.
Nasrallah’s speech has made concrete much that seemed to be the case, and confirmed that it is so. The Resistance is in command of this war. The allied forces will take it where it needs to go.
I speculate that this can only mean the gradual taking back of territory held at the moment by “Israel” – as Hezbollah has already begun to do on behalf of Lebanon. This is the new paradigm entering the world now.
And the hapless west and its hollow institutions will be able to do nothing about it.
I suppose they’ve already contemplated how exactly the Zionist entity will end, the logistics of this and so forth. Meanwhile, the screw tightens. Precious little of IDF has yet entered the trap. There needs to be much more, before Hamas will deliver the crushing blows.
And tragically, I suppose this means the civilians of Gaza must suffer until this threshold is reached. But there is nothing about this affair that is not tragic. Never has been, not for 75 years.

ParticipantYes, miracles and greatness flourish. All is possible now.
Kevin Barrett has a great piece by Richard Cook. It’s an excellent summary of the situation (that we don’t necessarily need, but it is extremely cogent, and would be an excellent update for the less knowledgeable).
In this piece, Cook shows the view from the Resistance better than anyone else I can think of at the moment – better than Magnier too, when it comes to Hezbollah and its position.
It’s fairly long, but I couldn’t turn away from it: https://kevinbarrett.substack.com/p/gaza-where-is-hezbollah

ParticipantAgreed. My theory has long been that when you are corrupted by greed and heartless actions, you still have to deal with the faculty of conscience that has been exiled from consciousness, but never destroyed, and you still have to deal with the longing for worship and devotion to the sacred that is part of every being.
So the obvious solution to this headache is to worship the satanic evil and then you find all your human forces in alignment. Headache gone.
And with no nagging headache, you can be like Talmudists and the like, and run in front of retribution all the days of your life – after which, it catches up of course, during the death cycle, and leading wherever karma takes you. (But they are all ignorant of that mechanism of the universe, and have not learned to fear their own karma.)
Something like that.

ParticipantPeace, sister. A massive killing is occurring, and for me as a Buddhist every life is sacred – and yet there is a holiness that watches over all of this, and I pray that you may feel it.
All the innocent children massacred are beyond blasphemy, there are no words…
And yet…a vast reach of judgment hangs over this land, as the guilty parade their evidence to the courts of heaven, and the innocent depart the stage on the wings of angels. Don’t lose your faith, for it offers a wonderful picture of how things go forward. And those who are dying in Gaza hold this same picture of great comfort also, in the midst of unspeakable grief.

But it does make sense. Hamas has launched an action on behalf of all the wronged, and the reactions from the demons of Israel are calculated to perpetuate those wrongs in the short term, but to alleviate them in the longer term, and to deliver Palestine from bondage.
And that will be a happy day.
Keep your faith, as I keep mine, as they keep theirs. Pray without ceasing. And know that the universe is pre-disposed toward the good, and this will turn out well. Pray without ceasing.
The good and the wise have calculated this play, and it is working as they calculated, and it will eventuate as they calculated. This was a saving of souls, not a loss.
This was a great saving of souls.

ParticipantI meant to add that if you only watch the first 12 minutes and a few seconds you’ll get the full force of what Ritter is saying.
Grieved
ParticipantAs we all know here, Israel has been gamed by Hamas to fall into a trap of Israel’s own design. Astonishingly, Scott Ritter spells all this out in words that pull no punches – he’s absolutely on fire in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MnwX49UDiM
The first 12 minutes say things out loud about the Jews that, as Ritter explains, we have not been allowed to say – but now Israel’s own actions are doing all the talking, and it becomes possible and necessary to speak.
The price paid by the Palestinians is Biblical, but it was the only way to register Palestine back into the world’s consciousness, to reveal Israel’s Zionism as the monster that it is, and to shift the world’s favor from Israel to Palestine, says Ritter. Israel was winning, and the last chance for a Palestinian state was disappearing. Hamas brought it back, and made it front and center for the world.
And the Hamas calculation worked because they intimately understood their occupier, and knew exactly how he would react. And it continues to work, because Israel is so enraged and existentially appalled that it cannot pull back from its madness enough to see that the only way to restore itself in the world is for it, itself, to initiate a ceasefire.
This is the most astounding interview I’ve ever heard from Ritter, and I recommend it unreservedly. To me, this counts as getting the word out. Ritter includes the view that most of the October 7 “massacre” by Hamas was actually committed by IDF. His whole interview is worth watching – he seems completely unafraid to say the things he’s saying, and I hope he persuades many to his view (with which I agree completely).
Grieved
ParticipantThank you, Sudhi. Finally the forensic truth of October 7th is emerging.
I remain astonished that Hamas never had an information outlet wired into the situation from the beginning. Others are piecing the true story together, while Hamas says almost nothing. Haaretz has supplied ten times the truth of the situation more than Hamas.
That’s one thing I don’t understand.

ParticipantDidn’t know if that link would show a preview, apparently not so here’s the text:
Meanwhile in Israel, they’re like headless chickens running around. Here is retired General Yitzhak Brick on the shit show that is the Israeli army:
“The current situation of the land forces is tragic, they are not ready for war. Emergency supplies are not available, exercises have stopped and the battalions have not trained in years. There is also no weapons training and education, and the army is not capable of carrying out an attack.”
โWe have lost the ability to field an effective army and have become a one-dimensional aerial power that cannot win a war on its own.โ
“I know the army on the ground better than anyone. I have seen soldiers who do not take care of their weapons before leaving the base. No army in the world behaves like this. The soldiers carry their smartphones with them everywhere. Commands are sent via WhatsApp groups. These phones are being tracked by the enemy.โ
โOur system has lost all control. Have we gone crazy? I cannot sleep at night. Our ground forces and armored corps are not ready for war.”
It’s what we’ve seen since the Hamas breakthrough on the 7th. The IDF just collapsed then, and one report up-thread mentions how in a recent op even their special forces abandoned their weapons and ran away.
Just how dysfunctional is the Israeli military? A quick search shows that General Brik has been warning for years that corruption has eaten away at all the substance of the fighting force. No wonder they want the US (or anyone) to do the fighting for them.
I just wonder if the Israelis in the IDF are gripped with such a struggle of cognitive dissonance that it renders them functionally stupid. They are asked to embrace such evil that perhaps this paralyzes them? Either it saps their moral compass and makes them ineffective, or it turns them demonic and they can only handle bullying. What shock to their psyches must have come from the last weeks.
