This is a well crafted report. To make sure the reader has no doubts, example after example just keeps coming. And when an IOF perspective is given, it is calmly torn apart with facts.

The Guardian had turned some sort of corner this week, also dropping the "Hamas run" prefix for the Ministry of Health, and also saying that the 1200 deaths in israel, on October 7, is "according to Israel".

Agreed, there is some tepid change in some of the coverage. The reporter did an excellent job, but the copy desk editors are still caught up in the corporate mindblob. This is common in newsrooms. When I was a newspaper editorial cartoonist and reporter there was always tension between reporters and editors. In fact a copy editor directly caused an investigative project I worked with to not win a Pulitzer Prize. The letter from the PP committee confirmed we reporters were right and the editors were wrong. Too often, failed reporters go on to become editors and the really bad ones often become publishers.

How do we stop Israel from doing this and the USA and other western countries from enabling it with money and military equipment? It has to stop.

Diana, I have been looking into some stuff in the past two days that really throws everything into a whole new dangerous light. Passover is at the end of this month and it looks like there is going to be a religious Zionist event in Jerusalem that -- I think -- will unloose an absolute international disaster.

Do some googling on the "red heifer sacrifice Dome of the Rock Jerusalem". Turns out the presence of the red heifers -- imported from Texas, which welds the US to the most radical Zionist elements and puts us smack dab in the middle of the bullseye -- played a significant role in the timing of the Hamas attack. Not surprisingly, mainstream media is completely ignoring it.

I am still looking into this and will probably do a column. So far it is very disturbing and mindbending. If this is actually underway, the American evangelicals will be emboldened in a way we haven't seen.

Here is one article a colleague forwarded me: https://free.messianicbible.com/feature/the-red-heifer-and-the-third-temple-in-end-time-prophecy/

" in mind what history teaches about corrupt, collapsing empires like ours: the weapons and tactics of colonization are always brought home to control a citizenship bled dry to pay for useless wars.What you are seeing here will eventually be brought home and directed at us."

From where I sit this has already happened. It's here now. The weapons are already in place with the militarized police force and the extreme use of force by the police and government. Microwave directed energy weapons, AI police robots,SWAT teams, arrests at protests , a corrupt justice system and surviallance system that knows more about you than you do. Perhaps most importantly a controlled media which keeps emphasizeing the need for keeping us "safe" through the use of force by the police.

Cop city was just one example of the police state we now live in. 7 State troopers emptied their clips 57 rounds into an unarmed civilian in a tent who were exonerated of the charges of excessive use of force. All the body cameras failed and the autopsy of the suspect revealed he had his hands in the air from the 57 bullet wounds. At best the police were cowards and thugs and all should be tried for murder. Then the revelation that cop cities are to be built all over the country. Police are not held accountable for their actions but protected by the government. This is not keeping me, you or anyone else 'safe".

You are absolutely correct! As horrible as what we have witnessed is, it's just a hint of what is to come. We are as expendable to the corporations and ruling class as Gazans are to the Israelis. I saw a video earlier this week of robo-police dogs doing push-ups in unison. At some point every neighborhood will be patrolled by such monstrosities. AI will make it all worse. Time to resist is NOW.

I just hope NOW is soon enough and it's still possible. The downward spiral of the US to the sewer is speeding up daily at an exponential rate. Completely out of control with climate and wars and oppression. All caused by an extreme minority of people. And take the red heifer thing seriously. Fundamental Christians are hoping to bring about the rapture in their deranged belief.

The biggest problem with resistance is the government has manipulated the citizens into a completely fractured society where no one can agree on anything and are kept infighting amongst themselves. The "ruling class" is not limited to the elite billionaires but extends down to those who have property and money. In short it is those who are over 70 years of age who were less effected by Reaganomics and profited by it. And in politics those are the ones in control i.e. Biden, Trump, McConnell,Pelosi and the rest for the last 40 to 50 years. Retirement age being raised from 65 to 67 is a small example. All you need do is look at the demographics and wealth and property ownership of the over 70 group and the vast wealth differential of those under 70. Those must be resisted as well as well as the billionaires.

People who dissent can be easily eliminated one by one just by computer "glitches" by having their bank account disappear, house title, job or identity stolen all via the internet. All of which should be impossible. The only way it's possible is by design and the people are being lied to by the corporations and government (who were the ones who installed the backdoors and hardware and software with the Y2K fabricated "crisis"). Then 9/11, Iraq, 2008 AGI meltdown, COVID and now Israel Gaza and Ukraine. All of which have been fabricated to transfer wealth upwards.

By its own estimate the government says 3 million migrants are entering the US each year and yet the homeless population is "estimated" to be 600 thousand. How are the migrants finding housing or work? Americans are being supplanted by immigrants for jobs and housing for the benefit of the wealthy. Another transfer of wealth upwards. The federal reserve controlling inflation by forcing layoffs for American workers. And you're right, it will get uglier. Americans ARE an expendable resource to be discarded when no longer useful.

Thanks for a great article. It's something that the MSM should be publishing. Keep it up.

Thanks. I agree with all your points. We are living in a well-structured psyops mindblob.

BTW, I did a pretty detailed column for tomorrow on the red heifer. I just learned about that a few days ago ... absolutely nutso how such a thing may well throw us into religious war.

"Coming soon to a theater near you!"

Looking forward to your article about the red cow. Is McDonald's involved somehow?

It's really Israel's way of stirring up the christian fundamentalists for continuing support for more weapons systems and supplies. I was married to one 40 years ago and there are no boundaries to the lunacy. Thank the televangelists and Hal Lindsey. Let's bring on the rapture! I'm ready,! There's a local store owned by a group of them and they all believe the earth is flat, it has a dome over it, we never landed on the moon, the queen of England (former) is a lizard alien and perhaps my favorite that we are being mind controlled by the flicker rate of cell phones and 5g. While they have their faces buried in the cellphone all day and 5g WiFi providing the feed in the store. They'll be selling tickets for the rapture soon. I just quote the Bible and say"The last shall be first" and add "so I'll be greeting you at the gate". The red cow will likely end up on the McDonald's menu as a special for whatever upcoming holiday Israel will be celebrating. Kinda like the green shake for St Patrick's day.

Did anyone document what these children were doing at the time they were targeted? That may explain a lot about the circumstances, since most appear to be male.

Genie, rub that tummy as hard as you can, you'll still not be able to conjure up any sane -- much less reasonable -- explanation for ongoing and mounting US/Israeli war crimes.

Yes as you ignore HAMAS beheading Israeli civilians being beheaded and encouraging Palestinians to play soccer with the heads…no, I’m batting at the cruelty of Terror Side of the ledger!

Too unbearable to read. I can imagine the absolute worst. The IDF are fiends.
