Diabolical Double-Think…Washington Touts Israeli Genocide of Palestinians as Self-Defense
Strategic Culture Foundation Editorial
Can Western leaders show a modicum of moral fiber?
In blatant defiance of world opinion and international law, the Israeli state continues its daily massacre of civilians in Gaza.
After nearly four weeks of non-stop aerial bombardment, the death toll has exceeded 9,000, with thousands more missing under rubble. The actual death toll as of this writing could be near 15,000.
The United Nations organization UNICEF this week described Gaza as a “graveyard for children”. An estimated 400 children are killed or wounded every day. The wounded have no way of being treated as hospitals shut down from lack of fuel and supplies.
In heartrending scenes, families are desperately trying to dig up children buried under concrete debris. All too often, their cries fade with agonizing death.
The world is witnessing an age of cruel depravity that is on par with the barbarity of Nazi Germany.
I Have Lost Nine Family Members in Gaza: Stop the Death March Now
Yousef Aljamal
On Sunday, October 15, Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building in Al-Nuseirat refugee camp where dozens of my family members live, killing nine of them. Among the victims were my father’s cousin Azmi Aljamal, 63, a retired nurse, his wife Hanan, 60, and their children Mustafa, 33, Suad, 36, and Sondos, 28. Three of their grandchildren, Omar, Mustafa, and Jana, were also killed, along with their niece Ola, 33, who had sought refuge in her father’s house from where she lives in southern Gaza because of the intense Israeli bombardment.
When I was in Gaza, I remember visiting them during the holidays and seeing a picture of our great-grandfather, Ahmad Aljamal, on the wall. Our great-grandfather was killed in 1948, days before the Zionist militias depopulated my ancestral village and forced its inhabitants at gunpoint “further south” to Gaza, where we have lived for the past 75 years. Today, nothing has changed as Israel demands that Palestinians move from the north of Gaza and Gaza City “further south” in what looks like another horrific scene of the Nakba that continues since 1948.
Even as thousands of Palestinians followed the orders or threats of the Israeli army and moved south, their convoys were targeted by Israel, killing at least 70. It became clear to many Palestinians in Gaza that there is no safe place in Gaza, and that being in Rafah is as deadly as being in Jabaliya, as the Israeli massacres targeted everyone and planted death and fear once again in the hearts of Gazans.
Jihad, by God!
“The post-mortem on the disastrous Biden years will be one of incredulity at how Joe Biden, of all people, was ever placed in charge.” —J. White
The fog of war has never been so dense, what with the years-long sustained psy-ops of the US Intel “Community” against the American people . . . the lawfare operations of the Democratic Party against innocent patriots . . . the homicidal depredations of the pharma-government complex . . . the Cultural Marxists’ weaponizations of language against common sense and common decency . . . the Neocon warhawks’ serial failed crusades to control faraway lands of dubious national interest . . .and the relentless mendacity of the sell-out Big Media. . .
It’s a wonder that anybody might venture a coherent thought, or that such a thought might survive transmission from person to person intact, without a sadistic beat-down or a dishonest, tactical inversion of meaning along the way. A thought such as: the Jews have a right to exist in a place called Israel. This is now up for debate around the world, whereas it had been accepted as self-evident by many civilized states a few weeks ago.
Televised Apocalypse, But First, a Word from Our Sponsor
Linh Dinh
"As Jews commit, most nakedly, ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the American Senate voted 97 to 0 to back Israel. With Jewjabs and the war in Ukraine, that’s three simultaneous Jew orchestrated genocides."
[Phnom Penh, 10/28/23]
All roads lead to Phnom Penh’s sublime Central Market, of course. There, you can find every merchandise, fruits unknown to all scientists and faces you haven’t seen in years. Just now, you pass your long-dead aunt. Wearing a new dress of the latest fashion, she looks much younger even. Coy, she pretends not to recognize your sorry ass.
Leaving Kracheh was not easy, but my visa was winding down, so I had to take a drowsy mini bus to cosmopolitan Phnom Penh, where all problems can be solved, including securing a visa extension. Nodding off, my head nearly made a soft landing onto the young lady next to me. Though I had wanted to glimpse Skun again, I dozed right through it. There, I had bought a mess of silkworm pupae, garnished with raw scallion and chili pepper.
Since I was Cu’s best customer for nearly two weeks, he was not happy to see me leave. On my last day, I hired him twice and treated him to lunch. On a visit to tiny Mahob, we lingered at a store run by a Chinese-Cambodian family. Encountering such a freakish foreigner, the kids didn’t smile.
Putin Might Have Cancelled Armageddon
Egypt has 100,000 troops at the Gaza border hoping to take badly needed supplies to 2.3 million Palestinians. Even before the recent war, Israel had been rationing the people of Gaza to less water than the UN says human beings need.
Putin has aircraft with Mach 12 Kinzhal missiles on board planes in the Black Sea. The Kinzhal is Mach 10 and has a total speed of Mach 12 when launched from a fast jet. It can sink an aircraft carrier. It digs a hole 98 feet (30 meters) deep where its target used to be.
We were told the US Treasury deficit was a mere $1.7 trillion for fiscal year 2023. But that is not true. The US Treasury added $2 trillion in debt. In fact recently, they added $500 billion in debt in just one month.
Before the first shot is fired from American, Chinese and Russian ships in the Mediterranean, China could sell $30 billion an hour in US Treasury bonds every hour starting as soon as the London markets open and continuing when New York opens. New York and London Bankers will likely force the Biden admin to discontinue all this war talk nonsense.
Bankers will tell the idiot politicians in Washington what I have been saying for years: When, not if the Dollar Dies, our wages and pensions will be permanently cut 60%. Instant chaos and riots in every American city will ensue.
The US has kept its fleet over towards Sicily. But Russia can always get permission from Turkey to move his jets closer if Netanyahu tries to demolish the homes of all those people in Gaza and force them to go live in tents in the Sinai. Or Russia could use older ICBMs to launch a couple of Mach 20 Avangard missiles at those two US aircraft carriers. Iran also has the Kinzhal missile and a variety of other missiles to take out US ships in the Persian Gulf including that one aircraft carrier.
Deafening silence on Gaza’s crippling health infrastructure
Hamzah Rifaat
Raids, shootings, and mass destruction are the norm with Israeli impunity being sanctioned directly by Washington D.C.
As miniscule aid teeters its way through the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt and women, children, and the disabled hang on to shackles of fleeting hope, the dire meltdown of Gaza’s healthcare system remains a classic case of international apathy. So far, the Western-led response to the unfolding genocide has been shockingly indifferent. The source of respite for the battered and besieged population is its hospitals, yet the Zionist entity has stripped Gaza of any relief whatsoever. As stated by the United Nations and the Gazan Health Ministry, the generators of hospitals across the strip will cease to function due to a fuel shortage. Despite this, the deafening silence toward Gaza’s health predicament remains.
As Israeli airstrikes intensify, approximately thirty-two health centers remain out of service. The occupation forces have made it clear that no fuel would be provided to Gaza as the territory is scorched by an apartheid government targeting refugee camps ranging from Jabaliya to Al-Shati'. Raids, shootings, and mass destruction are the norm with Israeli impunity being sanctioned directly by Washington D.C.
From Balfour to Now (1917-2023), Western Duplicity Covers Israeli State Terrorism and Genocide
Finian Cunningham
The cynicism and duplicity of Western governments in the face of an appalling, daily massacre of Palestinian civilians is monstrous.
The cynicism and duplicity of Western governments in the face of an appalling, daily massacre of Palestinian civilians is monstrous.
Hundreds of men, women and children are being murdered every day by non-stop Israeli aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Hospitals, mosques, churches and family homes are being deliberately targeted with no warnings. This is premeditated state terrorism, all with full Western support.
Hospitals are so overwhelmed by casualties that bodies can’t even be identified nor afforded the final dignity of a shroud. Mangled, bloody corpses are left strewn on hospital grounds. Petrified children have their names written on their hands in case they are killed so as to allow them to be identified, as reported by Matt Kennard. The situation is heartrending and utterly profane.
The Gaza population of 2.3 million is at the mercy of bombs raining down. The Israeli authorities last week warned people to move to the southern end of the 40-kilometer coastal enclave purportedly out of harm’s way, only for the air strikes to hit supposedly designated safe zones.
Halloween Parable
James Howard Kunstler
“We are at an inflection point, a threshold, where weak, brittle, effete personality structures are a threat to human civilization.”— JD Haltigan
You might have noticed that the massive investment in Halloween yard shrines by families growing broke in America reflects the ghoulish convergence of malevolent events undermining and overtaking what used to be normal life in this land. Nothing is normal anymore. The groaning mummies, howling werewolves, and shrieking skeletons are trying to tell us something.
The message might be: detach from reality long enough and death comes creeping ’round your door. You see where consensual madness has gotten us? Believe enough things that are not true and nemesis comes roaring in, all fangs and claws, to gleefully shred you. So. Maybe it’s time to stop believing things that are not true.
Start with the first principle of US life in our time: that anything goes and nothing matters. This proposition has ruled for as long as most of us can remember. Consequence was exiled on Main Street so you can get away with anything now — until you discover that, somehow, everything is broken. Your livelihood is broken. Your community is broken. Your household is broken. Your car is broken. Your children are broken. Your health is broken. Your faith is broken. Your country is broken.
The Death of Davos Man
Pepe Escobar
Harry Vox (Comment)
But it is already clear that there will be no Great Reset, and the global imperialists who believed they were destined to rule the world and own everything in it will be lucky to survive the series of regime changes over the next decade.
The leadership in Moscow is making it very clear, to internal and international audiences, the new deal consists in slow cooking the Kiev racket inside a massive cauldron while polishing its status of financial black hole for the collective West. Until we reach boiling point – which will be a revolution or a putsch.
In parallel, The Lords of (Proxy) War will continue with their own strategy, which is to pillage an enfeebled, fearful, Europe, then dressing it up as a perfumed colony to be ruthlessly exploited ad nauseam by the imperial oligarchy. Europe is now a runaway TGV – minus the requisite Hollywood production values. Assuming it does not veer off track – a dicey proposition – it may eventually arrive at a railway station called Agenda 2030, The Great Narrative, or some other NATO/Davos denomination du jour.
IDF General Reveals Hideous Truth: "We have lost the ability to field an effective army"
Hal Turner
A retired General from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) says "“We 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.”
General Yitzhak Brick went even farther. He says
💬 "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."
Brick added that Israel’s ground forces and reserve system have been constantly ignored:
💬 “We 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.”
In his view, Israel’s ground forces are not ready for war. The warning follows a series of polls showing that a large portion of Israeli citizens have lost faith in their country’s future. This was particularly evident over the last year, when the people were divided over political and judicial issues.
