“What is the modern meaning of mantra?
In modern society, mantras may simply consist of a short phrase or affirmation used with the intention of boosting self-esteem or confidence. Some more traditional mantras have no literal meaning and are instead connect to a much deeper existential and spiritual meditative practice.”
Or “…a mystical form of invocation.” (Merriam-Webster)
What were the forces that these two people, Avi Shlaim, and Ghana Karmi, say came in to Israel as alien forces, determined to destroy what they call the original values?
(I say: Mr. Global/The Anaconda)
The “international community” is guilty and complicit.
“Israel Has The Right To Defend Itself.”
(Click on the link, watch the video, if you find there is a distortion, an imbalance, or a tilt toward propaganda, please tell us in the comment section.)
“Israel has the right to defend itself.”
No longer a living English sentence, but a fossilized mantra, used for purposes of indoctrination and mind control.
If you say it, and you are free to of course, be aware you are invoking a mantra. You did not think this line up. They did.
So we all have to locate and neutralize our inner programs, downloads, mantras, and soul junk.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is also a mantra. It’s probably planted by Mr. Global/Anaconda. It does not allow for Israelis and Palestinians living peacefully side by side, hence, highly suspect as globalist mantra implant.
"Gaza is going to be clean once and for all.”
Mantras like this frighten me.
After Covid, is ethnic “cleansing” more acceptable to people, because it slots in with their germ-phobia?
That’s strange. English is spoken everywhere. It is a language that crosses boundaries, unites outlooks, merges differences, and offers bridges across all forms of gaps. It is being actively co-created by most of the 8 billion users of speech. Consequently, it may be seen as the most creative form of communication all over the world.
And we can’t properly name simple sentences? Really? Do we really need to reach to ancient cultures, steal their words, destroy their original meanings, contaminate their context, twist their interpretations?
It is pure doublespeak in action, you can see it live. In fact, YOU are the creator of this doublespeak. You - meaning every one of us who flows with this stream.
Maybe we are afraid to call things what they really are? We prefer advertising to propaganda, or “not really true” to “obvious lie”. “Public relations” sounds safer than “Department of Truth”. “Expert opinion” is certainly more effective than “subjective view paid by the sponsor”. “Professional” is better than “authoritarian”. “Politically correct” is much better than “adjusted to expectations beyond the recognition of the true meaning”.
We actively participate in this game. Does it matter? Not really. In a short time, we won’t worry about meanings. Safe or effective, nobody will know what it means, because we will all readily recognize it: “Oh, yes, our mantra”.
Thank you Celia, you continue to amaze! I've been seriously engaged, in one way or another, with these issues for about forty years & your choice of sources, your instinct for the real, is incredibly accurate. I would suggest that readers familiarize themselves, also, with some of the on-the-ground journalists in Gaza, many of whom have seen their families targeted & killed (in addition to about 80+ and counting,journalists, photographers, cameramen etc. who have been killed). Rarely will you see such dignity & courage as these journalists are often called upon to report on the deaths of their own families. Thank you again for your cogent & direct presentation.
