The leftists tend to present current Zionism as inseparable of religion, and I think that's a case in scapegoating, because Zionism was originally secularist (like all forms of leftism) and progressivist (which is half-leftist and half-apolitical.) The Talmudists just tagged along, I don't know why.

But, back to reality, most Israelis don't seem to have any religious inclination. Hollywood Buddhism, perhaps? Spiritualism? Universalism? They are not monotheists. But they are also not Marxists or Bakuninists or anything. Most Israelis seem to just be low-level nationalists, and quite liberal minded. Perhaps even Chauvinists. So, not exactly leftists either.

So, the traditional leftist lens does not describe Israel's society well. And the Christian Evangelical lens is a failure, too.

And, if my impression is right that Israelis today are mostly absent-minded liberals, moderately patriotic, bon-vivants and willfully ignorant of most things that have happened in the last 250 years, then, what can such people do against their genocidal government? What threat they pose to power as it is?

Isn't it true that most people are educated out of reality, and it takes a great deal of personal effort and ego-crushing excursions through the jungle of hard-to-find books to actually understand a bit of how bad things really are?

Who can blame a person for being ignorant and for choosing to remain as happily ignorant as possible?

The entire Google psyop is meant to help people reach and sustain their preferred level of ignorance, that allows them to live the best they can and sleep well.

We are all free to choose between bad and badder. That conclusion deserves a quasi-celebration.

Meanwhile, crimes against humanity keep happening. And the living have to learn to live with trauma. Which sucks a whole lot.

Overall, the theater layer of world politics helps everyone remain safely in their preferred position. Under that layer, Trumps seems to have managed to avert a major disaster for America. In that sense, Trump is the exact opposite of Bush. Under that layer, the planners of one world government of governments are running out of time. No milestones, progress is stalled.

Mark Levine is an apt bellwether and his eyebrows look like ram horns too. If he is sad, shocked or bawling his eyes in utter existential despair, that signals that everyone else in the world can relax a lot about the News, because there won't be News for a while.

WWF Style American Foreign Policy https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/wwf-style-american-foreign-policy

I'll briefly encapsulate progress on Israeli inducements to the US to enter total war against Iran, as Israel's population becomes war weary, defensive missiles run out, and Netanyahu has been outside the country the whole time, first in Greece, then in London, based upon flight tracking data.

Netanyahu's coalition of aggressive revisionist-Zionists persists in power while it advances aggressive war for territory and elimination of regional resistance rivals. It has been straining the limits of Israeli support recently, as Jewish Israelis are driven out of their dwellings into air raid shelters. It has been losing its aura of invulnerability, but is still seen as a rabid dog with nuclear weapons.

The question arising is whether there is a political path to end the escalation towards Israeli use of nuclear weapons against other countries. American lawmakers are mostly owned by the well-funded Israeli interests, which they keep funding...

Russians are trying to be constructive without assuming much more risk. Chinese are using their new railroad to Iran, and providing air defense missiles through Pakistan, while Trump makes a deal with Iran to bomb emptied Iranian underground nuclear facilities, without Iran shooting at the bombers, let Iran attack emptied US regional military bases, declare "Mission Accomplished" and have a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Israel and Iran sort of agreed privately, but Israel assassinated another Iranian scientist and his family, and heavily attacked Iran, so Iran shot off some missiles just before the deadline, and Israel sent more bombers to kill Iranians after the deadline. Trump profanely griped at "both" Israel and Iran, and Israel responded by saying "he knew we would attack".

The most tense dynamic seems to be between the Netanyahu coalition maintaining power, and the increasing costs to Israel of the war which maintains them in power. They would "burn the country to rule over the ashes", as Sun Tzu wrote.

Netanyahu is in London, as far as we know, the traditional head of the imperial snake. Imperial finance needs WW-3 (lite?) to be able to write off some bad investments in the Ukraine war and elsewhere.

Finance comes first in this game, so Israelis may well be hostages to more incoming Iranian missiles, which almost completel spare civilians in targeting so far. There has not been enough killing of Israeli civilians to galvanize Jewish Israelis into supporting vengeance upon Iran (yet). Imperial financiers, European old money and bloodline familieswill not give up power willingly. No sacrifice of others is to great to maintain their power.

Trump, to his credit, does appear to have made a show of fake-fighting to create the appearance of "going all the way for Israel", to the brink of WW-3, through the appearance of an illegal, unconstitutional, unprovoked attack on Iranian underground nuclear facilities, which was actually a staged and "fixed" fight for the television audience. The Iranians did not send up one missile or fighter plane against the bombers on this arranged mission.

Iran is declaring that it will continue "unlimited" nuclear enrichment, will exclude IAEA inspectors, who have provided intelligence to Israel, and will keep attacking Israel until Israel stops attacking Iran, since Israel started it. Iran will not tell the IAEA where the enriched uranium is stored, for obvious reasons.

Iran and Israel are now starting the ceasefire over, as Trump does NATO.

Israel is still baiting starving Palestinians with food and murdering them, as well as bombing the rubble and tents in which they seek shelter.

Mark Rutte has the same face as a capybara.

He's a also a loser. A loserbara, new species.

About Sylvia Plath, (Daddy poem here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48999/daddy-56d22aafa45b2) she was a mortal victim of psychiatry and I cast my respects in the aether.

Here's an important quote in memory of all:

"The plague of mankind is the fear and rejection of diversity: monotheism, monarchy, monogamy and, in our age, monomedicine. The belief that there is only one right way to live, only one right way to regulate religious, political, sexual, medical affairs is the root cause of the greatest threat to man: members of his own species, bent on ensuring his salvation, security, and sanity."

The Fabian Society was cooking up all of these isms, and is still involved in fomenting them.

City of London weaponizes the financial sector, and manufactures errand boys like George Soros who use money laundering insider trading to fund much of this.

The real purpose of Israel was touched upon in The Grand Chessboard, which you can read for free straight from the CIA's own website: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/36/36669B7894E857AC4F3445EA646BFFE1_Zbigniew_Brzezinski_-_The_Grand_ChessBoard.doc.pdf

And yes, the CIA is intimately involved in the Israel project, as well as the PSYOP-19 scamdemic and so on and so forth.

Theater is a metaphor. There is an agenda (the imperial project is just a part). All we see are schemes (scenes) to either further, or protect that project. A sort of theater, often improvised in real time. I say theater because it needs to be said in the simplest way possible. Maybe more will be curious enough to peek behind the curtain and draw their own conclusions.

So, Trump admits in the AF-1 recording that Iran has no nuclear weapons, and no plans to make any.

Where does that leave one of the most honorable persons in US gov't, Tulsi Gabbard, following the unmerited denunciation she received from DT--after she stated exactly that?

I'm happy to hear Trump fully nullify the false pretext for any attack whatsoever on Iran. BUT... following his unforgivable comment that he didn't CARE what Gabbard said, he owes her immense, public restitution. I dont know that anything can make up for his treatment of Tulsi.

But no public servant should not ever get away with such behavior.

I'd go easy on Trump, he wings it when he's talking. A refreshing change from the polite but boring scripted speech that most politicians do. If he was a typical politician he would say what amounts to the same thing but it would be 2 paragraphs long and be full of polite flim-flam.

My view of Trump is he is the American version of Boris Yeltsin. Yeltsin being inebriated most of the time and Trump sounding like he is inebriated much of the time. Yet it was that deeply flawed Yeltsin who took down the monstrosity that was the Soviet Union. Trump in his haphazard way is doing the same to the Western empire. That's a good thing.

John Bradshaw regards 98% of US families ''incestualised'' by overcloseness to either parent ; barring individuation .

When head of NATO calls Trump ''daddy'' ,as today - the question becomes how much of the false flag Iranian missile ''after'' agreement was Rutte ventriloquised ?

Knowing the Rutte (hydrocarbon) tree rarely/if ever produces good fruit ,

that is one giant ''mindfuck''.

Specifically because https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/25/nato-summit-trump-ukraine-war-zelensky-starmer/

[excerpt:] Unlike megacities such as Beijing, Tianjin, or Shanghai, these hidden hotspots have rarely grabbed the headlines and have not attracted the attention of state pollution controllers. The paper names four cities that suffered smogs in which all five of the contaminants were above WHO guidelines for more than eight days a year – Dongying, Linya, Weifang, and Zibo. All are in Shandong, an industrial province in northeast China. They have populations of between 1 and 3.5 million; none is among China’s 30 largest cities.

Three other cities listed as regularly suffering dangerous levels of four or five of the pollutants are Jining, also in Shandong, Wuhan in Hubei province, and Jiayuguan and Jinchang in Gansu. None of the seven appear in the lists of the ten most polluted Chinese cities published by the WHO or Chinese environment ministry.

So, a British Imperial project means we're looking at the uber wealthy Royals, the House of Windsor who are the largest land owners - still - in the world, as the architects of the nightmare in the Middle East.

OK, so let's hold their exact persons responsible for the Gaza genocide and put their asses in jail. Go ICC. Get off your collective asses, with your fancy black robes, and actually arrest the ultimate beneficiaries of all of the f-ing violence.

https://www.royal.uk/house-windsor

"The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family's official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It remains the family name of the current Royal Family.

The present Queen has familial ties with most of the monarchs in Europe... The Queen retains close links with former colonies in her role as Head of the Commonwealth. (where the land ownership comes from)"

And since the House of Windsor has familial ties with most of the monarchs in Europe (ie., the Black Nobility), is it safe to say that at least some of these royally connected families are also planning to benefit from the Gaza genocide's mediterranean real estate bonanza and the global digital control hub Neom?

Are we looking at the root of the global financial elite familial network here? Or does it originate in Germany?
