On Monday I interviewed a member of the Executive Committee of AIPAC. I asked him how he could defend and promote apartheid and genocide. He was not a legal witness; I could not order him not to change the subject. Still, he provided pretty clear (if very weak) excuses for genocide, which I think can be broken up into five types.
1. Others have done it.
The U.S. killed Native Americans, he pointed out. The U.S. starved Germans and Japanese. Israel labels half the people it kills as Hamas, and a ratio of 1 proper person killed to 1 improper person killed is well within the norms of recent wars and massacres.

The women's movement, born in high hopes, has devolved in the past sixty years. What started as a struggle for parity-equal pay, equal opportunity, and equal respect-has disintegrated into an existence of a material, self-centered, and spiritually empty society. Modern feminism, which at one time promised freedom for women, has degenerated into a mere shadow of what it once was.
Today, it is more concerned with finding external validation, mass consumerism, and status than with the higher and greater ideals of spiritual and emotional growth. Not only did this revolution halt the personal development of numerous women, but it also created social disintegration, broken families, and a growing isolation for children, women, and men. The term "shiny object syndrome," the slang name for the popularity of surface distraction, is the most accurate description of the shortcomings of modern feminism. Girls just want to have funds.

In the hysterical atmosphere of modern opinion, in which concepts are tossed about as freely as baubles and trinkets, few have been so overblown or so weakly defended as the so-called "theory" of "toxic masculinity." A phrase applied with all the zeal of a sideshow barker; this is the weapon of choice of a particular style of a feminist commentator who, under the false cover of scholarly examination, peddles a line whose condescension is rivaled only by its corrosive purpose.
To hear these voices, one would believe that masculinity is a toxic social illness pathology to be diagnosed, unraveled, and deconstructed. Let us not be fooled, though, by their rhetorical trickery. We have no fundamental critique of male action here but a heavy-handed exercise in misandry dressed up in the guise of social justice.

Readers want to know why the UK PM and European leaders–really, non-readers, misleaders, bad leaders–want war with Russia over Ukraine. My answer is that they don’t.
What would they go to war with? According to the European “leaders,” they already have given all their weapons to Ukraine and have nothing with which o fight a war. The only way Europe can send any money to Ukraine is to get the EU central bank to print euros to send to Ukraine. Moreover, the NATO force structure depends on the United States. Without the US, Europe lacks a force structure that can support a war. Trump has ruled out war with Russia and read Zelensky the riot act. Unless Putin makes a fantastic mistake, I expect the conflict to end.
Perhaps what is going on with Europe’s is that EU governments, after sending so much money and weapons to Ukraine backed by claims that Ukraine was winning and would win, want to be able to say that Trump sold out Ukraine in order to avoid accountability to the deceived populations of Europe. They can blame Trump for denying Ukraine and NATO a victory.

The history of eugenics is politics, science, social ideals, and people. It is the story of ideas, under the cloak of progress, which set about rebuilding people by reforming births. In its various forms, eugenics tried to marry science and social engineering and then decide what kind of life was worth prolonging and what could be permitted to die.
This timeline traces eugenics and eugenicists' ascent, decline, and revival from the late 19th century through to the present day, highlighting events, major figures, and the development of human genetics and selective breeding thought.

★This essay, or series of essays, contains controversial statements that could alarm people who are not tolerant of contentious questions or assertions, such as regarding religious beliefs, and how religious belief spills over into political conflict. However, stepping on religious sensitivities is not something a sensible person would readily do; and frankly, this article would not be shared, except for the fact that we, peoples of this planet, are in danger on multiple fronts. It is not any purpose herein to offend readers, but rather to hopefully create awareness, because without truer awareness there is little hope for our survival.★
In some critical ways, we live in unique times, while we retain our old human conditions and habits.
Modernity’s critical issues include population growth and it’s demand on resources, fast paced technological innovation, such as military warfare, speed and sophistication of computing power, industrialization and robotics, and artificial intelligence.

At the turn of the twenty-first century, Facebook (Social Manipulation Tools) presented itself as an innocent social networking experiment. In less than two decades, it has become a coercive instrument of observation, conditioning of conduct, and psychological control. It draws ominous resemblances to Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon in which hostages develop an emotional bond with their captors and defend them, even when faced with the opportunity to escape.
Beneath its shiny facade lies a multifaceted history irretrievably bound up in the U.S. military-industrial complex, spy agencies, and global surveillance indoctrination systems. Facebook's trajectory is more than a corporate tech monopoly out of control; instead, it is a cautionary case study of how a website, spawned from defense initiatives and spying endeavors, has ensnared billions in a nefarious network of control.

A striking parallel to today's economic instability as Warren Buffett hoards
$334 billion in cash reserves, signaling an impending financial disaster
linked to Trump, Musk, and DOGE.
The great Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, has been a world economic bellwether for decades. His recent moves to bank a record cash stash of $334 billion, dump billions of shares, and remain firmly tight-lipped about his ultimate aspirations have befuddled financial writers. It is generally extrapolated today that Buffett is bracing for a record-breaking economic meltdown, potentially worse than the 2008 one.
The possibility that Buffett's preemptive action is a tactical response to future danger, namely from the 2025 Trump government, Elon Musk's growing market power, and the revolutionary wholesale contract cancellations within the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Passion for health isn’t just personal—it’s a force that can reshape communities, influence policy, and uplift those who need it most. You don’t have to be a doctor, legislator, or nonprofit leader to make a difference. As an individual, you have more power than you realize to advocate for health equity, better resources, and systemic change. Whether you’re championing nutrition, mental well-being, or access to healthcare, your voice and actions can help transform lives. The key is finding the right strategies to channel your passion into impact.
Start with Your Own Circle
The easiest place to start advocating for health is with the people you already know. Friends, family, neighbors—these are the individuals who will be most receptive to your knowledge and enthusiasm. Instead of overwhelming them with statistics or unsolicited advice, lead by example. Host a healthy cooking night, organize a morning walking group, or simply be the person who listens when someone talks about their struggles with stress or access to care. Real change happens through relationships, and you never know who you might inspire.

Human-Brain Bowling Balls for Bucks - Facebook Leering for Lucre
In the early 2000s, Facebook was a dorm-room project that rated the hotness of female dorm mates. It was a digital yearbook designed to make copious couplings of college students. Two and a half decades later, it has morphed and mutated, metastasized into something far more sinister cancer: a global surveillance brainwashing machine, a psychological indoctrination-Stockholm Syndrome manipulation engine, and a geopolitical psychiatric weapon.
With nearly 3 billion victims, Facebook is no longer just an anti-social network-it is a digital empire, a shadowy brain-prison force that propagates opinions, controls government tech oligarch narratives, and harvests data (preys on human desires) on an unprecedented scale.
