THE RIGHT'S COLLAPSING MORAL FOUNDATION

      Neocon blowhard Victor Davis Hanson, who is an example of what passes for a deep intellect in Postmodern America, penned another troubling article this week. Titled The Anti-Democratic Democratic Left, Hanson's article is ostensibly about abuses of the Legal Establishment committed by the Democrats. As of typical of most of Hanson's writings, it is mostly simply a laundry-list of crimes committed by the Junta heavily punctuated with declamations about how 'Things have never been this bad!' and 'Never before in history has this happened!' and 'OMG things were so much better under Bush!' etc. 

      It seems to escaped Hanson's notice that most of the unprecedented Lawfare and abuses of the system have been committed by the Republican-controlled House, which has exceeded every Congress in history in impeachments, censures, removals, expulsions, inquisitorial hearings, forced resignations, and the like, but we digress.

     

     The problem with Hanson's article is not that his complaints are factually incorrect. The problem is with the presuppositions and inferences liberally salted throughout it. This a fairly typical technique that he uses in most of his writings: he states facts, but in such a way that it leads to dangerous conclusions. For example, the header and conclusion of his piece reads, "the defense of those destroying democracy is that they are doing it to prevent others from doing what they would do, should they have been on the receiving end of exactly what they are now doing."

     While it is true that despots typically do live in fear of retribution, the idea implied here is retribution is the goal of the postmodern Conservative movement. It is not a traditionally Conservative position. Our Founding Fathers, for example, weren't interested in owning the Royalists and making it payback time for the Tories; their goal was to free the American Colonies from tyranny and establishment a Government of Laws which would ensure that such tyranny never happened again. If we had a real Conservative Movement, that would be the goal of removing the Democrats: to re-establish a Rule of Law and institute reforms to keep such abuses from returning.

    In contrast, the 21st Century's version of 'Conservatism' is simply to replace the Liberals while leaving the apparatus of abuses intact, and dishing it out upon their former overlords. In a previous post, we analyzed the degraded thinking and low morality involved in such a position, but it may not hurt to repeat a wise observation from a Dead White Male again here:

   "They have given the world the classical expression of the slave's ideal: the ideal, I mean, by which the crushed and cringing servitor would like to live if only he were strong and free. The power to get or do the things that he wants to do or get is every man's desire; but sheer Power---hard, empty, hectoring Power---is the daydream of the downtrodden. To such, the real meaning of Liberty is veiled; they neither understand nor want that equal fellowship of mutual consideration, courtesy, and self-respect which among themselves the free-born take for granted. What the slave longs for is to be, still more to feel himself to be, the kind of man that he thinks that his master is."

   That is the dynamic driving far too many minds in the Postmodern Right, and it explains in large measure the complete lack of concrete substance to their whole political orientation. Since Hanson mentioned the January 6th Protest, let's look at a widely-circulated photo of that day of notorious Red Pill 'influencer' and provocateur Anthime Gionet, a.k.a, Baked Alaska, who was stirring up trouble at the event:

    Here we see him with his feet propped up on Nancy Pelosi's desk, chatting on her phone while one of his toadies is taking selfies in the background for social media. A picture is sometimes worth a thousand words. It was a foolish thing to do and publicity stunt and yes, the Junta over-reacted on Gionet like everyone else; but what we would like to observe is what it symbolized in Gionet's thinking. He wanted to be in Pelosi's shoes, 'to be the kind of man that he thinks that his Master  is.' 

    While I certainly don't condone the January 6th inquisition, the last thing that America needs is 4-8 more years of some new group launching assizes against its own perceived enemies---which easily could include anybody reading this article. The actions of the US House since the rather anemic Red Tsunami of 2022 shows us exactly the direction which they intend to take: very little about restoring democracy as the likes of Hanson and Gionet assert and a lot to do with putting the lash in somebody else's hands to use as freely as he likes. 

   Simply replacing the Junta isn't going to solve anything if we are unwilling to replace them with anything better. It underscores the unspoken issue again that there is no political solution, it is at root a collective spiritual and moral problem---and that our problems are fundamentally of our own making. Shifting responsibility for our collective failures as a society onto a political movement will accomplish nothing in the end, but only potentially delay the inevitable descent into tyranny. 

    

BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE TIK-TOK BAN

   These days it's a rare phenomenon when legislation crashes through the Federal Government with little to no resistance. This week, a move to 'ban' the popular social media app Tik-Tok won unanimous support in an otherwise useless House Committee. Nominal Head-of-State Biden gleefully chortled, “If they pass it, I’ll sign it,” and one of his spokesxhes told the Corporate Media, "We welcome it, Obviously, we've been working with [lawmakers] on it. And we would want to see this bill get done so it can get to the president's desk." 

   Usually, these unusual displays of bipartisanship never happen unless it involves money for Israel or expanding the Security State. They can't even pass Border Security or Ukraine aid---even though both parties agree on the same things---for political reasons. Wisconsin GOP Congressman Mike Gallagher---an anti-China fanatic---spent six months crafting the Bill. His former boss, California GOP Congressman Kevin McCarthy remarked: “The House will be moving forward with legislation to protect Americans from the technological tentacles of the Chinese Communist Party.” These people have argued, without evidence of any kind, that the Chinese-owned network is harvesting data on American users on behalf of the Chinese Government---ignoring the mountains of evidence that our own Government is doing exactly that.

      The Neocons' flying monkeys in the Controlled Opposition Press likewise have celebrated the move, which---in typical Neocon fashion---is disguised as a matter of choice. Gallagher said, “This is not a ban. Think of this as a surgery designed to remove the tumor and thereby save the patient in the process."  The Bill would force the divestiture of Tik-Tok from its owner, ByteDance. If the sale doesn’t happen within about six months, the bill calls for the app to be blocked on U.S. app stores and websites.

  “Tik-Tok is the top search engine for more than half of Gen Z, and about 6 in 10 Americans are hooked on the app before their 17th birthday." Gallagher further proclaimed, "This is worrisome because Tik-Tok is controlled by America’s foremost adversary, one that does not share our interests or our values: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).” As if, our course, Wall Street-run Big Tech really does share our national values. Also as typical of the postmodern family values Conservatives, parents aren't competent to limit social media access, so it's up to the State to take action.

  Gallagher and other GOP lawmakers came to the conclusion that the U.S. must ban Chinese ownership of Tik-Tok: “We are ceding the ability to censor Americans’ speech to a foreign adversary,” he said—suggesting that censorship isn’t altogether wrong. It’s only wrong when committed by someone other than the Neocons. 

  Washington Republican Cathy McMorris Rodgers---who, along with the aforementioned Kevin McCarthy makes the Top 25 of total Congressional recipients of lobbying cash---said this in much the same pro-censorship vein: “Earlier today, we heard from members of the intelligence community about the dangers posed by applications, like Tik-Tok, that are controlled by foreign adversaries and who are determined to exploit and weaponize Americans’ data. We also witnessed firsthand, in real time, how the Chinese Communist Party can weaponize platforms like Tik-Tok to manipulate the American people. This morning, prior to our hearing, Tik-Tok used its influence and power to force users to contact their representatives if they wanted to continue using Tik-Tok. This is just a small taste of how the CCP weaponizes applications it controls to manipulate tens of millions of people to further its agenda.” (Emphesis mine: note how now this fake Conservative considers soliciting public input on an issue an enemy operation). 

   Why do we suppose that both the Republican and Democrat Establishments are scrambling to get the Bill passed? While Big Media is focusing on the potential ban, the operative part of the Legislation is contained in the phrase: "The Bill would force the divestiture of Tik-Tok from its owner, ByteDance." Now, let's look at who are the top contenders to buy this valuable resource at a fire-sale price: Microsoft, Meta (Facebook), Alphabet (Google), and Amazon---all of which are WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners. According to Open Secrets, these four companies spent a combined total of $64 million in lobbying last year alone; maintaining a phalanx of 398 lobbyists, 310 of which constitute a very bipartisan contingent of Revolving-Door former federal officials including a number of ex-Congressmen and Senators.

   Isn't it an amazing coincidence how all of these pressing national issues always seem to lead back to the same people?

    President-in-Exile Trump, who once supported a Tik-Tok ban, has seen better of it and denounced the proposed Bill as giving too much power to the Tech Lords. Of course, Trump's right: hence the scramble to get Tik-Tok seized and sold off before November while the Republican Establishment is still guaranteed a more sympathetic Administration with which to deal. 

    Trump aside, all of us good Conservatives are supposed to pretend that this Bill isn't just another wealth-transfer and encroachment on our Civil Liberties. We're to believe instead that China is the real threat: that the Chinese are harvesting data on millions of Americans with which information they could do absolutely nothing; while believing that opening the app to Corporate Crooks and Deep State spies and perverts poses absolutely no threat to anybody. We're to go on pretending that a Republican victory in November really is about saving us all from Democrat excesses and not just an attempt by the Neocons to seize the same powers and emoluments for themselves. It's all a fake---just like everything else in this managed democracy of ours---and when the hysteria fades, we the people will end up as we always do; with less freedom while the Corporate Oligarchs end up rioting in the spoils and laughing in their sleeves at us. 

   

      

WHAT STATE OF THE UNION?

     So, as we're writing this, our nominal Head-of-State is putting on a show to tell us all how he's saving the world and all of us Americans from ourselves. It's about as exciting as the last Hollywood/Madison Avenue performance on Tuesday. Remember all of those polls that said that Americans want neither Trump nor Biden in 2024? Well, who won their primaries and secured their nominations?

    It's truly astounding how anybody believes that any of this Electoral stuff is any more real or relevant than the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards, but millions watch those too, so there we go. 

    It's really no argument to pretend that because the President-in-Exile got nominated that this somehow going to save the country. Trump was obstructed and sabotaged just as much by his own Party when he was in office (and still has been during his entire campaign). Right now, they've been angling to choose an Establishment/WEF operative for Trump's Vice-Presidential nominee in the unlikely event that he wins in November. That opens up an interesting possibility for the Deep State. They have become so frustrated with the Junta's continual bungling that they allow the President-in-Exile to win: but recall that Trump is now 77 years of age and that accidents can happen to elderly gentlemen. 

   Most likely though, the current Head-of-State will remain in office. Without or without cheating, the Republican Party as a whole is so incompetent and void of any substance that 2024 will in all probability end up as much of a washout as it has been for the last three years. 

   For example, having learned nothing from the resounding defeats of the likes of Larry Elder, Bruce Jenner, Dr. Oz, and Herschel Walker the Republicans are still trying to win key races with celebrity appeal. Neocons can never admit to being wrong about anything; which is why they continually make the same strategic blunders in everything they do. 

     Steve Garvey, a former professional baseball player and current head of a marketing firm won 32% of the vote and finished second in the California Senate race---laughably because his opponent Democrat Adam Schiff funneled money from his own PAC to Garvey's campaign because he saw Garvey as less of a challenge than his closest Democrat rival. That small detail hasn't stopped the Controlled Opposition from coronating Garvey as the next savior of the cause.

   Not to be outdone, a Congressional committee today passed a Bill approving Republicans' long-standing obsession with banning Tik-Tok. I'm certain that this move is really going to win support from younger voters. Tik-Tok currently has around 113,000,000 subscribers in the United States alone, over half of whom are between 18 and 35 years of age. Of course, the real objective here is to force to Chinese owner Byte Dance to sell the app to some Wall Street consortium rather than ban it outright---because, of course, the Tech Lords and Big Media don't already control enough of the American social media market; and because the Conservatives totally oppose Cancel Culture. 

   There seems to be this strange dissonance in the thinking of the Postmodern Right. They all (so they say) oppose 'woke' Corporatism and Globalism generally, but seem to think that giving more power to the Oligarchs is the way to contain them. Their foreign policy positions are a perfect example: they think that securing the entire region from the Black Sea to the Red Sea for international High Finance and the WEF plutocracy will make the world a safer place---evidently because they need control of more oil, more shipping, and more cheap labor to outsource our jobs to than they already have.

   Congress also earlier this week quietly slipped into their so-called 'Budget Deal' a proviso to sell off the entire New England Oil Reserve to their Corporate cronies. House Speaker Mike Johnson is deeply hooked into the Energy Cartels. According to Open Secrets, the largest industry supporting Johnson since his first federal campaign in 2015 is the oil and gas industry, which has infused $338,000 into Johnson’s campaign coffers. Of that amount, $30,000 came from the Koch Industries PAC. Much of that Oil Cartel cash came from WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner, Chevron, which also is a leading contender for the contracts in the Gaza Oil Fields. Not surprisingly, the Zionists are also major donors to Johnson. Let's see who Chevron's top stakeholders are---do we suppose any of them have WEF connections?

    

   But let's all just keep pretending that all of this malarkey about the "most important election of our lifetimes" really is what it claims to be. Let's all keep pretending that voting the Democrats out will change everything; that the Republicans really aren't working in collusion with them for the benefit of the same vested interests. The persistence of these illusions are what the Neocons count on, and it seems to work for them every single time. 

 

AND YET ANOTHER FORGOTTEN CAMPAIGN ISSUE...

       A little over a year ago, the Controlled Opposition Media was foaming with outrage over a railway disaster that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio. The issue disappeared before the off-year elections and hasn't been brought up since, although problems from the chemical spill still exist, and in fact, railway accidents on our freight lines have been on the increase; in fact, there was another spill into a major river just this week. Working conditions on our freight lines have gotten so bad that even the tepid, accommodating railroad workers' unions threatened a strike recently but were vetoed in their attempts by our Corporate-controlled government. Alan Shaw, the CEO of Norfolk Southern, the shipping cartel involved in both accidents received a substantial pay-raise, however.

      Even though both leading Presidential candidates did photo-ops in East Palestine, very little has been said about either the accidents or the massive lay-offs that are sweeping through the industry---at least the subject is not deemed as urgent as defending the shipping cartels' interests in the Red Sea. 

     The aforementioned Norfolk Southern is one of only six shipping monopolies in the United States dominating freight rail. All six have significant lobbying power inside the Beltway, to wit:

     1. Norfolk Southern: $2.4 million in lobbying dollars last year. They maintain 41 lobbyists, of whom 32 are revolving-door former federal bureaucrats, including former US Senators John Breaux and Trent Lott, as well as former Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania, Patrick Meehan. 

     2. Burlington Northern, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway: $6.9 million spent on 79 lobbyists, 49 of whom are revolvers including former US Senators the aforementioned John Breaux and Tom Daschle, as well as former Republican Congressman from Kentucky, Ed Whitfield.

    3. CSX: $1.7 million, with 15 lobbyists, 13 of whom are revolving-door.

    4. Canadian National: $1.1 million with 20 lobbyists, 13 of whom are revolvers including former Democrat Congressman from Pennsylvania Ron Klink and former RNC Chairman, Haley Barbour. 

    5. Canadian Pacific Kansas City: nearly $1 million with 23 lobbyists, 19 of whom are revolvers including former Democrat Congressman from Kansas Jim Slattery.

    6. Union Pacific: $3.3 million with 12 lobbyists, 9 of whom are former Beltway operatives, most prominent of whom is the shady Kirk Blalock. 

    

      Well with about $16 million in lobbying cash and 200 hired henchmen to spread it around, it's no wonder that the Political Class has lost interest in things like railway safety, substandard working conditions, and rising freight costs. On top of this distressing situation, consider that the freight cartels have considerably powerful stakeholders involved in the process too. Let's see:

     1. Norfolk Southern: top shareholders include WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners BlackRock, JP Morgan Chase, and Lazard for a combined total of about 17%.

     2. Burlington Northern: is owned by WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway is owned by Warren Buffet, co-chairman of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

     3. CSX: About 10% is owned by WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners BlackRock, JP Morgan Chase and Merrill Lynch International, a subsidiary of WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner, Bank of America.

    4. Canadian National: top shareholder is the aforementioned Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (and WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner). Others include 'woke' NGO, the TCI Foundation, and the Royal Bank of Canada which played a major role in Tienanmen Trudeau's bloody suppression of the 2022 Truckers' Protest.

    5. Canadian Pacific Kansas City: about 10% is held by the aforementioned TCI group and the Royal Bank of Canada.

   6. Union Pacific: About 10% of stock is owned by BlackRock and BOA's subsidiary, Merrill Lynch.

  So, essentially, BlackRock's Larry Fink, British billionaire Chris Hohn, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, and Justin Trudeau dominate North America's freight rail system and pay politicians to see to it that nobody gets in their way. One would think that this, too, would be a major campaign issue; but it doesn't appear that anything to do with railways---or infrastructure in general---is a very high priority with the American Electorate. It isn't like when we had a real Conservative movement which believed in free and fair competition and enforcing the law. The Dead White Males who were in charge back then produced a railway system that was the envy of the world with low freight costs and even a stellar passenger service. 

      Today, the massive job cuts, the Corporate looting, and 'woke' ideology has created an atmosphere where increased costs and higher accident rates are inevitable. But the important thing is that we all pretend that it isn't really happening: that farces like Super Tuesday really matter, and voting out the Democrats magically will fix everything. 

AN ELECTION ISSUE THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT

     Blogger Insanity Bytes has had two good recent articles reminding everyone that there are still a lot of unsettled issues relating to the Scamdemic. This being an 'Election Year' in the US, both political machines would rather that we all forgot about things like Democrat governors who imposed martial law but now hold prominent positions in the Junta; or Republicans governors who padlocked churches and sealed borders until they suddenly became champions of medical freedom. To the average Ameroboob, 2020 and 2021 are about as remote a past as the Antediluvian histories of the Old Testament---complete with about as much revisionism of the official story.

      Both articles elicited the predictable outrage from the True Believers, who showered their wrath liberally in the comments sections. Actually, I don't worry about such people too much: authoritarian regimes like ours always have a share of people who'll deny the obvious. In truth, I feel a measure of pity for these poor simps; their intense fear of facing the truth and the ensuing moral choices that they would have to make by accepting it literally paralyzes their Reason and the Official Narrative acts for them like a tranquilizing narcotic. 

    The True Believers aren't really so much of a problem: what's genuinely troubling though is that neither Scamdemic abuses of the past nor the New World Order crowd's future proposals are even on the Electorate's collective radar-screen. No opinion polls reflect any major public concern over the issue, and the only presidential candidate of any standing talking about it has been Robert Kennedy, who has failed to generate much interest. Probably half of the American population doesn't even know who Kennedy is anyway and could care less.

    Scamdemic abuses should be a campaign issue: obviously political leaders who, on behalf of their Wall Street Overlords, participated in such a massive suppression of human rights and such an egregious transfer of wealth---not to mention ongoing national health concerns over pushing untested vaccines---certainly shouldn't be entrusted with any degree of political power again. In fact, they should have to answer for their multitudinous crimes instead of silly Congressional inquisitions about a protest or absurd witch-hunts about alleged 'anti-Semitism.' Of course, that would presume a State where people actually cared about their liberties and a political class willing to uphold them: neither of which we possess today in the United States. In 2022, only one lockdown tyrant lost his position as governor, and even he lost to a disgusting RINO. 2021 saw a similar election trend. 

   Instead, both political machines and the Madison Avenue shylocks managing their campaigns would prefer that the public either remains in a state of blissful apathy or focused on distractions, while demonizing each other's camps for public consumption while working together behind the scenes. This way, nothing upsets public tranquility too much and the Great Reset can go on unabated. 

    

DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER 'NATIONAL EMERGENCY'?

    Our immigration system in the United States has been dysfunctional for a long time. Over the years, there have been many stop-gaps, and other patchwork legislation to address the problems without ever really solving much of anything. In spite of that---and in spite of contemporary propaganda---we don't have as serious a problem in that sphere as many other countries; and yes, that includes China and Mexico. 

   During our quadrennial Election Year showcases, the issue comes up regularly and serves as a useful distraction from our multitudinous other problems which the American Political Class is making no effort to solve. This week, the President-in-Exile and the current figurehead of the Junta both visited the US-Mexico Border---as if we don't have a northern border and two seacoasts which are under-defended too. What Biden had to say was about typical for a Neoliberal Democrat. The concerning is what has been coming from the Controlled Opposition on the subject. Because they have so few other issues or accomplishments to promote, the 'Border Crisis' has been hyped to a truly dangerous degree. They bombard us routinely with talk of 'an invasion' and their media outlets nearly every day focus on some crime committed by an illegal immigrant, in much the same way that the Mainstream Media focuses on shootings to promote their anti-2nd Amendment agendas.

  The Republicans are proposing (and actually doing where they can) some very draconian policies aimed at immigration enforcement. I think that we ought to think back to a little recent history and think a little bit about how the GOP has dealt with these kinds of things.

     1. George Bush Sr. declared that the drug problem in the US was 'a national emergency' and proceeded to decimate Constitutional protections against unaccountable police power and eviscerated many of our privacy laws---especially relating to financial privacy.

    2. George Bush Jr. declared 'a national emergency' after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and proceeded to create a Surveillance State and revoked many of the laws on Government transparency.

    3. Over the objections of President Trump and, initially, several Democrats, Republican Governors invoked 'a state of emergency' over a flu outbreak; suspended legislatures, imposed curfews, ruled by decree, illegally sealed State borders, and were the first to order mask mandates. 

   Now is it any wonder that, in 2024, claims of 'a national emergency' over immigration sound about as dangerous as the Left's claims of a 'climate emergency?' 

   The Republicans are talking seriously about establishing internment camps, mass-deportations, crack-downs on businesses hiring illegals and charitable organizations trying to aid them, and some even more violent measures have been suggested. Now, why isn't anybody asking the obvious questions here?

   The measures that the Republicans are proposing couldn't help but expand the powers of the Police/Surveillance State radically. To prove legal status would almost require some kind of National Identification Papers. Private homes and businesses would be subject to having their doors kicked in (moreso than they already are) on mere allegations. Police checkpoints could re-surface after being overturned by the Courts after some earlier GOP-led 'emergency.' Financial snooping would necessarily expand too: and the Republicans haven't expressed much opposition to (actually many support) a transition to Digital Currency. 

   As usual, Americans tend to act first and think later; and most are assuming---just like they assumed before---that such tough new measures only will effect other people. "If you're not doing anything wrong, you've got to worry about?" they snort, just like they said before about drug dealers and terrorists being the only ones who had anything to fear. 

   The problem with all of these Bush-era Republicans is that they fail to understand that the use of government force is the last---not the first---option that civilized societies resort to when solving problems. Even then, it is to be used with as much restraint as possible---a concept that has been observed since the time of St. Augustine. This is also conspicuously absent from Republican political discourse: they seem to take a perverse delight not only in employing power but in employing it as ruthlessly and disproportionately as possible. It's no argument to say 'Oh, but the Liberals do it too!' We're supposed to be different from them. Ever since Bush's kinder, gentler America, our side has countered the extremism of the Left with even more extremism and it hasn't worked either in practical results or in winning popular support. 

    In fact, these heavy-handed tactics have actually caused more problems at the Border than they have solved. Criminal gangs and terrorists are a lot more likely to risk being gunned down by government thugs than ordinary asylum-seekers or laborers. This is exactly what happened during Bush's War on Drugs: the corner drug-dealers disappeared while vicious cut-throat cartels took over entire neighborhoods. 

   Likewise, most of the migrants surging at the Border are coming from countries under the thumb of Wall Street/Beltway interests. Either they are from countries languishing under draconian sanctions (e.g. Venezuela, Cuba) or countries whose governments have imported American cultural and economic exceptionalism and have eroded their working classes like ours have been (e.g. El Salvador, Haiti). 

  There are ways to fix our immigration and border-control problems without stripping Americans of what few freedoms we still possess. Any political movement depending on Force and Fear to govern is not a movement we should support under any circumstances.

   

WHY THE SILENCE FROM THE CHURCHIAN RIGHT?

     Compared to just a few weeks ago, it seems as though the Civil War in Palestine has dropped out of the news cycle. The war is still going on; but it seems as though the Controlled Opposition sites have forgotten about it. It wasn't that long ago that anybody who didn't stand with the Zionists were 'anti-Semites' and that this was 'Israel's 9/11'---and what happened to the West's War for Existence?' Why aren't we getting daily reminders any more that 'there are no innocents in Gaza' or that 'the world won't be safe until every Palestinian is dead?'

    The war is about to enter its fifth month, and several things are being abundantly clear: to the point where Neocon and Churchian apologists for the Zionists can't make excuses any longer. The first cause is the bravery of the Palestinian people, who've stood off a vastly superior military (armed and trained by our Pentagon) and inflicted heavy casualties on the Zionist fanatics that even their stranglehold on the Media can no longer hide. The Palestinians have won the admiration of the civilized world for refusing to submit in the face of unparalleled barbarity.

   The second reason is that that very barbarism itself is becoming increasingly more difficult to gloss over. Videos of IDF goons commandeering houses of worship and gloating over torture they've committed there; their drunken soldiers dancing and celebrating over their kill-counts; medical crews intentionally murdered; journalists targeted for assassination; elderly people shot down in church doorways: this is becoming an apparent strain on even the tolerance levels of American Churchian hypocrites. This weekend, the "bulwark of Western democratic values" engaged in a Canadian-style brutality, crushing a protest by Israeli citizens. 

   As if there was already a level of depravity that the Zionists hadn't reached, they managed to crown all of their crimes on Thursday by massacring a group of Palestinian civilians under a flag of truce and truckloads of humanitarian aid. Last week, the Regime began targeting and expelling UN and other humanitarian aid groups, taking over the responsibility themselves. As the convoys reached the aid center, “Numerous people fell from the trucks while attempting to take a bag of flour, and many others were targeted while carrying a carton of canned goods or a bag of flour to feed their starving family members.” Ismail al-Ghoul, a reporter with Al Jazeera said. "After opening fire on them, Israeli tanks ran over dead and injured people and that ambulances were unable to reach the scene because the roads are totally destroyed.” Another eyewitness noted that: "IDF troops opened fire twice – waiting until the first aid-seekers had returned to the truck from hiding to shoot them again." About 112 people were killed and nearly 1,000 wounded in this latest atrocity.

   Since the revolt began on October 7th, we've put the question out to any Christians in the Western world how they can justify Israel's actions. So far, no takers: and it doesn't appear as if there will be. The postmodern Churchian Right has difficulty enough justifying its own actions against Christ's teachings, let alone anybody else's.

    The really dangerous thing is that what we're seeing in Israel is, essentially, what these Christian Nationalists ---or whatever they call themselves--- advocating for in this country being put into actual practice. It's one thing to play an Alpha on a keyboard, but the situation in Palestine is a real-life demonstration of those ideologies carried out to their logical conclusions. This may be another reason why the Controlled Opposition is avoiding too much discussion about Gaza these days: with an election coming up, people might start noticing a few too many similarities. Worse still (for them), they might start connecting the dots between Israel, the Republican Party, and the Great Reset.

    Americans need to stop ignoring the situation in Palestine and, if nothing else, look very closely at the Regime running Israel and what they are doing, because that is the future of our own country if the Neocons and their Alt-Right confederates manage to regain power. If anybody doubts that this is so, look at our US Congress and most Republican-controlled State Legislatures. We look in vain for politicians working for the benefit of all Americans: instead we see kowtowing to the Corporations, draconian laws, and endless inquisitions and Lawfare against political opponents. In short, they are no better than the Left, and arguably worse in many respects. Combined with their overheated rhetoric, it's not difficult to envision a Netanyahu-style Regime evolving here under the banner of 'Conservatism.' Most Americans even believe that Israel is a 'right-wing' government, when in reality it's at least as far Left as Macron, King Charles, or Justin Trudeau have made their Regimes. There isn't a single Blue State in America that wouldn't be preferable to living in Israel. 

     What we desperately need in the United States is an actual Conservative party again. This isn't likely to happen until Christians and Conservatives start assuming some responsibility for self-government and start behaving like Christians again instead of adherents of the Cult of the Super-Man.
