With Nima’s prompts and his carefully chosen words, Nicolai touches on every point and then some that runs through my head pretty much on a weekly basis. Nima’s a gem as well. Great pick you made with him, Larry.
Larry there is something called Godwin’s Law. It was originally promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990. Godwin’s law originally referred specifically to Usenet Newsgroup discussions. But now covers all internet thread even one like yours.
I’ve noticed it for years and attributed it like you to our great education system — well I suppose it is! I referred to it as Trite Nazi Junior High Analogies.
“No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans, the demons will seek a new victim. And that won’t be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey…. We should not forget that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers.”
Carl Jung “The Postwar Psychic Problems of the Germans” (1945)
Carl Jung gave 7 sermons to the dead. Why anyone takes this guy seriously is beyond me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sermons_to_the_Dead
Oh, wait, isn’t there an Argentinian President, Chainsaw Milei that talks to his dead dogs?
As usual, bonbon gets the wrong end of the stick. Jung wasn’t actually “writing to the dead”, he was exploring alternate spiritualities.
OF COURSE the Literalist Evangelicals have a problem with this.
The Abrahamic Texts and the religions based on same are essentially Tribal Authoritarianism wrapped in holier-than-thou mythology. That’s why any “discussion” with any extremest Abrahamic follower (like those that have taken up residence here) leads to the “believe or else” ultimatum, complete with personal threats against your immortal soul. As if they have any power to invoke “God’s will” against you. They use “God” to mask their hatred and ad hominem against any who dare challenge their hubris and arrogance. But of course they’ll “pray for you”… to leave them alone to carry on luring the vulnerable into their 3,000-year-old gaslight-scheme.
Gaslighting, convincing the unwary to believe things that aren’t real, for fun and profit. Well, mostly for profit.
It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled. (I don’t care if Clemens said it or not)
“There are none so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” Goethe
Jung was free to believe what he wished, and individuals are also free to decide if what he wrote was valuable or trash. But bonbon declaring “Why anyone takes this guy seriously is beyond me.” merely shows how limited his grasp of intellectual interrogation and FREE SPEECH is.
And he offers no critique or rationale for his position… other than his dogmatic “faith” that the Bible KJV (ca 1611) is the inviolate, literal Word of God and must be slavishly adhered to buy all humanity. As if no new knowledge has been acquired since 1611, or 2,000, 3,000 years ago. Ignoring the fact that most Christian sects, all Muslims and Jews of the same Abrahamic root disagree with him and his extremist Evangelical cult.
But he believes Phoenicians mined copper around the Great Lakes over 3,000 years ago. Said so here, on Sunday… most browsers allow word search, press “control-f” together, enter phoenician in the dialog box. https://sonar21.com/a-plea-to-end-the-war-in-ukraine/
If he can’t even do the basic research to see that “theory” is not based in fact, “Why anybody takes this guy seriously is beyond me.”
Mentioning Jung is your Freudian slip – Jung’s stated objective was to end Christianity- This is no minor slip, King Charles III is a professed Jungian too, a spot of bother for the Anglican Church, what.
Playing the role of Newsguard for free, Agnostic Priest?
I think all the Abrahamic Religions will eventually die, just like all past gods/religions due to the irrational and incoherent nature of the beliefs required when contrasted by emergent and historical real knowledge. Despite past CHRISTIAN religious attacks, the Earth orbits the Sun, there is only cosmology above us and only molten rock below the earth’s crust. No Heaven, no Hell. Spooky Action At a Distance is proven real. There is no God of the Gaps or Ghost in the Machine.The universe is older than 6,000 years.
That I RECOGNIZE Jung’s rights doesn’t mean I agree with him in any way.
So the Head of the Church Of England is planning to end Christianity via his heirs, a major plank in his family’s power base since Henry the VIII chopped off wives’ heads and divorced the rest? Do you think at all before you hit “post’? Do even a TINY bit of research? Chuckie doesn’t want to be revered… so now the pledge from the minions is:
“I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”
In a previous version of the text, published in April, the archbishop was to “call upon all persons of goodwill in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other realms and the territories to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted king, defender of all.”
But wait, there’s more… sometimes a removed “the” makes a bIG difference.
“The monarchy has responded to these changes in two ways. First, as Prince of Wales in the 1990s, the now-King mused aloud whether the monarchical title defender of the faith should not be reinterpreted as “defender of faith”.
And from Good Queen Liz herself:
“Second, at a Lambeth Palace ecumenical meeting hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury in February 2012, the Queen, speaking as supreme governor of the Church of England in her diamond jubilee year, said:
“The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated. Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.”
He (Chuckie, ed A P) has said as much himself in his recent comments to faith leaders after ascending the throne:
Straight Jung. King Charles III is a Jungian, as quite a few others are. Jung’s stated objective was to end Christianity. Maybe giving sermons to the dead in the belfry?
Jung believed himself to be the reincarnation of Emperor Julian the Apostate (a Mithraic initiate who attempted to wipe out Christianity in 364 AD), but as Richard Noll notes in The Jung Cult, the psychologist literally saw himself as a Dionysian messiah and initiate of Mithra who sought to create a new hedonistic religious order.

Again you assert that the universe is more than 6000 years old, as if that proves something. But what do you think it proves?
BTW you use the word faith, which you place in inverted commas as if to make a point about the word, incorrectly. You use it, I think, to mean a belief in something that cannot be supported with any kind of proof. That is not a correct use of the word. When it is used in respect of Christian faith it means the belief that God, who has revealed himself only to Christians, will do, what he has said he will do. This is just FYI
Thanks for showing the world your intransigence and lack of knowledge. Nitpicking over punctuation preferences is just a distraction. Nice try.
Again, Jung could believe however many nonsensical things he wanted before breakfast. You’re the one harping on what he believed, not I. Despite your attempt to attach me to Jung, I hold no more allegiance to his pronouncements than to your Bible. You have (annoyingly for you, I’m sure) seen me quote bits of the Bible when what it says suits the situation, especially to beat you with your own cudgel.
As the one example you chose, it is widely accepted in many Evangelist sub-ideologies that the universe is only 6,000 years old. If you agree with that assessment, fine, say so and readers can judge your ability to comprehend reality when it stares you in the face. Or not and join the rest of the informed world.
“Revealed himself only to Christians” So you have to BELIEVE before God shows himself. That is backasswards. In the real world, FIRST comes the hypothesis, then research, then proof, then conclusions (or belief, if you prefer). No wonder you “believe” so many things later to be shown are incorrect. You repeat the same error of reaching conclusions before reasonably researching the topic.
Or is it your game to hope others here will follow your procedure, uncritically believing what you spout before (if ever) bothering to verify your claims? A lie confidently delivered is easy to believe, just see any politician in action. And the preaching profession is especially accustomed to never having to provide independent evidence of their claims… the Abrahamic Texts are law unto themselves according to you.
As usual, when faced with a reality you can’t handle, the lapse into Biblical rhetoric and pseudo-intellectual groping.
FAITH is what is required to believe something not otherwise supported by factual evidence. All religions BY DEFINITION operate on faith. That is the inescapable problem all religions face when challenged at the most fundamental level.
You may have FAITH, but you don’t have PROOF. Only God showing up in person, for all 8billion of us to physically see can provide that proof.
Sillier and sillier. You’re the one Hung on Jung… go get Fried on Freud, it’s all navel-gazing bullshit. Not surprising you swallow the Abrahamic Texts hook, line and sinker, fishy fishy.
Most psychology just is hanging vapid labels on people and behaviours. Like you do… to make yourself seem superior? Priest, pagan, sinner, and such adolescent name-calling you try. Might work at church or impress your prof, but not out here in the real world.
But you never seem to make a substantive reply, not just to me but in any of your posts. There’s either a wrong piece of info, or the post is a garbled half intelligible mess.
AP
Thank you for your reply. I am sorry if I irritate you because that is not my intention. What l would like to do is elicit some understanding of your position.
I leave aside your suggestion of my intransigence because I don’t know what you mean and it is probably not important. As for my ignorance well, there are many things upon which l am ignorant and hope to be better informed. No doubt you will help me.
You tax me with citing Jung whom l have never read and about whom l truly am ignorant so l will just pass that by as a mistake.
You then talk about sub ideologies which hold the universe is only 6000 years old. You may very well be right but you fail to address the point of my question which was what is your point in referring to that fact. The obvious point which you failed to make and might have made is that as the universe is established (probably) to be billions of years old the biblical creation account in Genesis is demonstrably false. That is the point which was crying out to be made on your case. It is however an entirely bogus point because the Bible does not say how old the universe is. This means you cannot invalidate the creation account in Genesis by reference to a scientifically established age of the universe.
You then take issue with my assertion that God only reveals himself to Christians and assert that This means belief comes before revelation. You have entirely misunderstood my meaning but that is my fault for expressing my self badly. The true process is that God reveals himself to the elect who then understanding who He is and who we are turn to Christ for salvation. Hence Christians. My apologies for my clumsy expression. This is basic Calvinist Protestantism which in a previous age might have been if not believed at least more widely understood.
You postulate the methodology hypothesis research proof conclusion. That seems fair to me.
You also accuse me of believing things that have been shown to be incorrect. As l do not wish to be incorrect perhaps you will inform me of what they are.
Please also be so kind as to identify the reality that I cannot handle.
It would also be a kindness to me to explain how, as the unbeliever that l think you are, how we came to be here? Are you an evolutionist? If so, what theory do you believe to be true? Please provide the research and proof that lead to your conclusion.
Finally do you believe that dead matter came alive by itself? If so, kindly show how it happened through research proof and conclusion.
In any event you have my very best wishes
King actually thought his first dog, Pat #1, was the embodiment of his dead mother. And a great judge of character… NOT.
“He (King) later wrote that his host (Hitler) was “was a man of deep sincerity and a genuine patriot.” More than that, Hitler owned “a very nice, sweet smile” and his eyes had “a liquid quality . . . which indicates keen perception and profound sympathy.”
“The fact that odd things — the annual unexplained accumulation of coinage for instance — happen around King’s grave is surely appropriate to a man who until the advent of the Age of Trump qualified as the New World’s all-time weirdest government leader.”
I dunno, George W. Stupid said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. I think maybe Mackenzie King’s Mom and dogs were smarter than God then.
I hope nobody asks him about sex.We already know too much from him on his adherence to what he thinks is “tantric sex.”‘
The Argentineans would be better served if they transformed their political parties into something they understand and really care about: football (soccer) teams. The championship winner gets to govern until he next “Copa.” At the very least they’d have young leadership.
Doesn’t work here. The Evangelists will literally quote chapter and verse, nonstop nonsense if not ridiculed and upbraided with facts on a regular basis. Look back to posts just after Oct 7 to see them at their best.
Dictionaries should be revised:
Nazi = adj. referring to a member of the Nationalist Socialist party in Germany in the pre- and intra-WWII period or any of its supporters. An abbreviation never used by them but only by their opponents, which has become widely accepted.
nazi = common noun as well as adjective referring to any person, ideology, movement or government deemed as the epitome of evil. As such it can be used by any parties in conflict against each other.
That is why the French, Synarchist, is precise. Discovered by the US Army during WWII, it traces back to Napoleon. Synarchist bankers such as Lazard, deWorms had the files.
In other words, me and my people are the good guys. You and your people are evil, so you should die.
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
“And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”
I wish I could still believe that and I wish my belief were justified. But I don’t and it isn’t.
Look at all the monsters who live very long lives doing a lot of harm to others (sometimes millions of others) with malice aforethought, have no problem looking at themselves in the mirror, are celebrated in life and die in their beds.
The older I get the more I prefer dogs to most people.
I agree it is very suspicious that so many french mercenaries were in one location – highly indicative of sheep dipped NATO soldiers. Simplicus wonders if an unexpectedly just dead Italian colonel was hit too.Simplicus also is reporting a major attack on US base in Iraq with the (most modern) Patriot not stopping the attack (with Iranian missiles) and many injuries admitted – watch for training mission (not in Iraq) deaths announced in the next few days).
Biden strategy is insane: “doing the same thing again expecting a different result.”
Sheep-dipped has been obvious for some time and that Leopard with Bundeswehr crew was an instance especially since I believe only 3 bases in Germany could have sourced that crew. U.K. obviously has SBS there and specialists programming StormShadow plus someone has to interface between NATO ELINT and SIGINT and Ukrainian on-Site kit
I do wonder how they dispose of remains – probably sealed casket routine and fixed inquest in U.K. at least. Or maybe cremation in Ukraine which apparently uses animal cremation facilities for bulk processing I read
U.K. is highly dependent on Territorial Reserves for key functions like SAS so I wonder if they are stupid enough to get deployed and be absent from civvie jobs for months
His absence, like Biden’s absence when he is present, should make even the blind, deaf and dumb start suspecting that the alleged “decision makers” are not at all those who take any decisions in the US.

And Now Bibi is asking for west Jordan … cause “Security guaranties” you know. This guy is nuts … I don’t get how such an endangering person for the long terms security of his own state has not being removed from power one way or another.
Here is the reason .
Sir Henry Kissinger, KCMG, said in 2012 that in 10 years Israel would not exist.
He let something slip – the Oligarchy had already decided on Babylon 2.0 in 2012.
What is King Bibi doing other than inaugurating since 2022 but New Babylon? Even King Bibi’s new map includes old Babylon 1.0. https://canadianpatriot.org/2023/12/21/sir-henry-kissinger-midwife-to-new-babylon/
Sir Henry, who said twice publicly he served the British Crown in 4 US administrations. That means the Crown’s Israel, Gods Chosen Crown. Netanyahu is merely the foot soldier, Biden the willing goon.
Beating on old bullshit drum of “King Charles of the Flappy Ears is in charge because he claims to be a direct descendant of Biblical King David?
Maybe more closely linked to David Frum…
Yes, the Fabians, like Kissinger, were/are a bunch dangerous, autocratic, self-adulating assholes, but NOW they are just ready-built political/technocratic tools for the Rothschilds. Like Nutty-yahoo and his genocidal gang, Zelensky and his insane US/ZATO Bribe’em NeoCon backers.
Keep the world’s attention focused on Gaza, Ukraine and Iran, while the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, WEF/Davos crowd and AIPAC do their dirty work behind the smoke screen.
Israel 1 has for sure caused massive disasters since British Prime Minister Disraeli put wheels on it.
Israel2, Babylon 2.0 looks like a dud from the get go.
First as tragedy, second as farce.
Oblique social reference to Disraeli GEARS, the 1967 Cream album? Swing and a miss… (I used to own an original on vinyl)
I have posted on the Balfour Declaration here, numerous times, but your JUST DON’T GET IT. That is what really put the gears in motion for the ZIONIST/Rothschild Israel Project. Under King George V, for both the original 1917 manifestation of the “letter” and the 1926 parliamentary acceptance. PMs Lloyd George in 1917, Baldwin in 1926. Prior to that, the ZIONISTS were wandering the wilderness looking for a gov’t to endorse their idiocy. The US refused. But LORD Walter Rothschild had the Bank of England by the short and curlies again… all those war loans y’know… https://balfourproject.org/balfour-declaration/
Trying to deflect attention from the Rothschild culpability for originating the conditions for the Gaza Genocide and more?
Prime Minister Disraeli was THE Zionist, long before Balfour. The Rothschild’s are house help, to take the flak.
To understand Israel this is a must read : Disraeli by Stanley Weintraub
Penguin Books, New York, 1993 717 pages, hardbound
Disraeli may have “spoke(n) passionately about restoring the Jews to their own land”, but beyond his fantasy book Alroy, there seems to be no actual action in Parliament or little outside that, nothing on the practical scale of Balfour to support your premise. The Balfour Project site gives only passing mentions, for someone you claim was so influential.
Your source was written in 1993… nearly 150 years after his death.
And notably, Disraeli argued on behalf of Lionel Walter Rothschild’s refusal to swear on the Bible, “arguing that Christianity was “completed Judaism”, and asking the House of Commons “Where is your Christianity if you do not believe in their Judaism?”
COMPLETED JUDAISM… Disraeli’s own words. Just what I’ve been saying all along.
Probably in a return of the favour, L.W. Rothschild (for fee) loaned the British gov’t 100Million Francs to buy 44% of the Suez Canal Company, bypassing the Bank of England. Victoria was pleased.
So the Rothschilds were up to their usual bankster tricks even back then.
Well gee, you FINALLY got one thing right, after I pounded it into your head a dozen times and five different ways. But what the Brits got conned into starting via the admitted-Rothschild Balfour Declaration/League of Nations, and Sykes-Picotte jumped the pond to where the post-WW2 seat of power/debt was and remains, THE USA/UN. Does Nutty-yahoo claim to be able to control the British gov’t? NO, it’s the US gov’t he brags about wagging. You don’t get it even when they spell it out for you.
The Rothschilds are still pulling the debt-finance levers, corporate-think. WTF do you think controls the FED? Not Flappy Ears Chuckie or Bojo, bit layers at best, puppets really.
The dynastic family that has financed wars and used that debt to control countries/gov’ts via their Central Banks since the Napoleonic Wars, that’s who.
It’s almost like you’re trying to divert attention away from the Rothschilds…
There is nothing Trump can give Israel (from seriously depleted and not replaceable stocks) that Biden would not give. La plus sa change…
When, per Allistair Crooke, war with Hezbollah starts in a few weeks, all these plans will go out the window.

Dailymail.com yesterday reported the recent deaths of 4 British soldiers which included a 29 year old Corporal who was a sniper from a Yorkshire regiment that died ”suddenly while on holiday in Fiji”. 2 of the others were young privates from his regiment who may have committed suicide. However they really died, it would not surprise me if at least 1 of their names is on the Russian Ministry of Defense list of eliminated mercs and these guys might rest in peace more easily if not labelled suicides to everyone who knew them. As we can see from telegram videos joining the Ukranian army is a suicide mission that the propagandized volunteer for………
I don’t think I can pick a favorite interview with Nima, Larry. I love the way he facilitates his guests sharing their expertise and opinions. This interview was great as always.
I’m wondering about what people think about this article about ‘Ukraine’ experimenting on its soldiers with a hallucinogenic drug? There’s been a niche pharma group pushing hallucinogens the past few years since for some odd reason. They seem to be involved.
This Ukraine deal is beyond odd, though. Beal, the ‘Yippie’, appears to have been forced by the US government into going the Ukraine to set the project up. Then he was arrested right when he got back to the US. (To silence him?)
I didn’t think what we were doing to the Ukrainian people could get anymore despicable, but it has. Mengele would be so proud of us.
Speaking at the University of Valladolid in Spain, EU’s Top Diplomat Josep Borrell said Hamas “was financed by the Israeli government in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah,” according to El Pais newspaper. https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-funded-hamas-claims-eu-top-diplomat-josep-borrell/
The war will end when the Oligarchy says throwing good money after bad is a dud.
Soon, Borrell will be speaking at the Universidad de VayaConDios, explaining how the KLA, ISIS, al Nusra, Azov, Kraken et. al. and other various and sundry criminal organizations and death squads were/are funded by Washington.
También el MEK…Mujahedeen e Kalk…para añadir a la lista…
Y el FLB…Frente de Liberación de Baluchistán…al igual que su oponente, el FLB..Frente de Liberación Baluchi
You are correct. It’s a classic impasse. Note that NOBODY is talking peace.
This will have to burn itself out. To treat the idea that the US will loose hegemony as a personal opinion isn’t the best position. It could be a reasonable deduction based on centuries of history.
This all ends when the Israeli people remove Nutty-yahoo, someone sane in the US gets power (not likely any of the current POTUS candidates) or the ZIONISTS are forcibly pushed into the Mediterranean.
Eventually New Palestine will HAVE to be secular, militarily neutral, where no religion has any more rights than any other.
Otherwise the bullshit religious-tribalist insanity will continue. All because some book of dubious authorship and historical veracity says “God promised virtually all the Middle East to the Jews.”
Cut the money spigot off, first. Do it for UK-raine too. Guns go silent.
THEN do what no “fundie”, nor NATOcon, even NATOpagan want – massive infrastructure , the Oasis Plan, for the region. Israel has the engineering depth.
China will provide credit, no-one trusts the petroEUDollar anymore.
And who is going to cut off the money spigot? The ZIONIST Christians or ZIONIST Israeli dual-citizens in “NATOpagan” Washington? The ZIONIST AIPAC-Rothschilds that hold the PAC donation strings and thereby dictate to all the Congressional Swampers?
Relying on those “godless commies” in China to do God’s work? Has Epoch Times changed it’s CHINA BAD spots?
And who in China would loan Apartheid Israel even one yuan? Not Xi, given he remembers Trumpy’s 59 Tomahawks insult into CHINA-ALLY Syria over chocolate cake, and Bribe’em’s “dictator” comment in San Fran?
Go easy on the caffeine. Epoch Times is a Falun Gong outfit – here having their party :
The Oasis Plan will happen, the petroEUDollar is a gone bunny. Time for a Reset all right. You certainly do not understand China, nor Russia. As Larry says it is an education problem.
Falun Gong, yes it is. But don’t tell the Evangelicals that eat up that CHINA BAD rhetoric with their breakfast. You forget I was raised Christian. The other advantage? I have an real-life window into the Evangelical lifestyle and beliefs… my in-laws. Just like you, they stick their heads in the sand, isolate themselves in their tiny community and refuse to face reality. Shooting fish in a barrel. Wiggle wiggle little fishy, won’t do you any good, trapped in your own beliefs.
And you wouldn’t listen to what a non-believer would say, even if it could save your life, so you’re at a disadvantage facing anyone like me.
You need to figure out how to get the facts straight, your D’Israeli statements just blew up in your face.
I understand quite well, it’s you that has the problem figuring out reality from fantasy.
They’re your crowd, you were quoting Bible verses with the rest of the Evangelicals. Trying to shed your snake-skin? C’mon, tempt me with an apple. Feeling a bit lonely?
Damaged? Again, project much? You tried that ploy before, didn’t work then either. I’m not the one believing in things not in evidence. Keep paddling fishy, the world is watching you circle the drain.
Another weak attempt at ad hominem, flailing down to name-calling, poorly disguised as psychoanalysis? Physician, heal thyself.
Polls aren’t always correct. Self-preservation is a powerful incentive. Once it is clear genocide isn’t going to produce the Biblical land of Milk and Honey, and in fact backfire badly, attitudes will change. The Israeli public still thinks the US, IDF and Yaweh can protect them, but once Nutty-yahoo and Bribe’em kick the Hezbolla/Iran hornet’s nest a BIT too hard, that illusion will dissipate.
Of course ignorant, bigoted humans will strive to find some way to blame “the other” for all their problems, religion just seems to make it easy for the leaders to amplify that process. War is always For God and Country, in that order. Patriotism is usually joined at the hip to religion.
Nation states have a cohesive, cooperative role to play, as Russia currently demonstrates. But it’s a fine balance. Obviously beyond the competence or understanding of the US/ZATO Rothschild puppets.
Completely agree – it will require Israel to feel real pain – or the US to feel unacceptable economic pressure (to the 0.001%). But swapping Netanyahoo for another fanatical political figure will change nothing.
The other aspect, which I think is too slow for the Palestinians, is if Israeli’s vote with their feet to the level where the depopulation (of skilled labor) threatens the Israeli economy with collapse.
IMO, once the threat of famine becomes widespread famine deaths, Hezbollah will put an end to the IOF. And I think the IOF, being seriously attrited, wants war with Hezbollah sooner than later.
Agreed, but a change at the top would help cement the Israeli public realization that this strategy is a one-way street to the eradication of Israel and the genesis of New Palestine. I’d watch passport renewals and visa applications a barometer of Israelis getting ready to jump ship.
I doubt the IOF is under any illusions they’ll get their asses kicked even if the US intervenes against Hezbolla/Lebanon. Hezbolla may have a few longer range missiles up their sleeves, and the carrier group may get a surprise. I’d guess Iran, Turkey, Russia and China will stand back as long as they can.
The name “paul (sched) schneider” is an alias used by a collective group of טרול מסביר – hasbara trolls – to push zionazi/talmudic/mizrahi agitprop. Rotating aparatchiki who troll this site. Over time, there have been at least 3 or 4 different ‘personalities’ and writing styles using that and a couple of other aliases.
Simple fact they are genocidal apologists, trans-semitic (ashkenazi), participants in Genocidal war crimes.
Foreseeing that day that they will be called before a War Crimes Tribunal and suggesting that the sentence of the Tribunal be from their hate-book Babylonian talmud. Look at the link for the sentence:
sefaria.org/Gittin.57a.2?lang=bi The relevant quote:
“Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Balaam himself, in the next world? Balaam said to him: He is cooked in boiling semen, as he caused Israel to engage in licentious behavior with the daughters of Moab.”
NOTE: ”that man” and “Balaam” are both euphemisms for Jesus Christ, used in the talmud. Additionally “Balaam” is used to describe a non-Israelite, and in talmudist thinkling thereby a false, prophet.
Think it is fair to sentence the טרול מסביר – hasbara trolls from their own demonic creed that they imagine among themselves inflicting on Christ.
“Until the hostages are released and Hamas surrenders, the war [in Gaza] will continue.”
“Until” may also include, but is not limited to:
Israel runs of out of bullets and/or soldiers;
The West Bank erupts;
Hezbollah attacks Israel in force or vice versa, creating a two-front war;
Iran or Turkey decide to become directly (kinetically) involved;
Israel’s economy collapses;
USA says “stop”;
Enough Israelis think this is not the way.
Apart from the last one, none of these is conducive to any notion of peace. As Gil Scott-Heron said/sang a while ago, “Peace is not just the absence of war.”
LNG from Qatar takes the long way around The Cape…….Russian supply interruption as the coldest month approaches and US facility in Everett, MA is closed
What “mystery”? We all know the US/ZATO is behind it, whether distraction-attributed to “look at me” Zelensky cat’s paw or more direct action from Baltic/ZATO clowns.
Whatever fairy tale is concocted, what does it matter? Russia undoubtedly knows, the residual shrapnel will tell the tale. Are they going to bother telling the world? maybe, when they are good and ready.
And who suffers most? Not Russia much, a few Billion one way or the other isn’t gonna make much difference. Although it’s gonna be colder in some EU homes until May. Japan and other US-vassal states may find out Novatek and Gazprom, including their eastern depots, may stop shipping to them, if this becomes a regular tactic. Freeze in the dark until you come to your senses.
Russia first said NordStream was Britain, then Sy Hersh said Norway plus US, then US/Germany said Ukraine and Poland, Kiev said no-no.
I take statement #1.
Russia said Kerch Bridge was MI5. BoJo canned the 2022 Istanbul Peace Treaty.
So Sunak’s Treaty with UK-raine is not a joke.
Kabuki Theatre. The guilty US/ZATO ORIGINALLY floated that Russia did it themselves, don’t you remember? OF COURSE you don’t. The only real question was which set of puppets did the actual dirty work. Weapons of Mass Distraction.
Still trying to deflect attention from the Rothschilds Great Reset machinations while the world burns?
Ya, IT’S THE BRITS. Sure, and you own the Brooklyn Bridge, selling cheap.
It has been revealed that the US had already informed BigZ to ignore Istanbul, Bojo was stupidly self-important enough to publicly go and reinforce the message on cue. Jump through the hoops Bojo…
Biden said he would do it months before it was done. Russia instantly said Britain. Hard for US to accept they are the dog wagged by the tail. Think of a Corgi pulling a Mastiff. And it helped that the 40-day Prime Minister Truss on a second mobile announced success.
Hard for hubris-filled US to see how they are played. Quite amusing.
As Martyanov says it is WHO CAN DO!
Brits, SBS, and deep ocean eng,. plus the Norwegian capability. All you have demonstrated is complete ignorance. a pub joke anywhere in Nottingham. To bring up Trudeau, the Hunk saluting “patriot” is hilarious.

Great interview, Larry. Not a ‘conversation’ since Nima is basically your straight man, a very good one though, asking intelligent, pertinent questions. He is basically giving you bullet points in the form of questions to facilitate your monologues. As such it is indeed one of your best.
Just a few comments:
— The UK is not “the poodle of the US.” That is Macron. He is the poodle (caniche), a bit undisciplined and occasionally naughty but still a vassal pet. The UK is our corgi. Haven’t you noticed how short Boris Johnson’s hind legs are?
Europe is our kennel. We cut their roaming in search of food in all the wrong places so now they have to work for us to earn their rations of ‘Purina’ only we provide.
We can sic them on whomever we decide is the threat to “national security” and Europe’s “security.”
— Which Europeans are “still mad at the Bolsheviks for killing the tzar and his family?!” First of all those Bolsheviks were not Russians. The murderers’ gang sent to kill them were, let’s say, of other ethnicities. Look it up. This is known, which is why this is not a topic ever mentioned by the global elites.
The only people “still mad” about it are the Russians and especially the Russian Orthodox Church. If I don’t misremember the Romanoffs were sainted by the Church.
— Solzhenitsyn did not talk “crap” about Russia being a dictatorship, etc. Never. Not Russia. In fact when he returned to Russia he was celebrated as a truth teller, honored by Putin and lionized for a while on Russian TV. He only criticized the Bolshevik power during the Soviet Union and dared to expose the Jewish leadership of the Party and the Bolshevik repressive apparatus.
He thought Russia’s salvation could only come through faith. He was a “pravoslavnik” like Dostoyevsky.
Unfortunately for him, the political leadership of Russia (led by Putin) had by then elaborated a different strategy to unite the nation and manage Russia’s international relationships with the Western world and especially with Israel: no more criticism of the Soviet Union, let alone the Red Army, and no scrutiny of Jewish power under the Bolshevik regime, which is ‘anti-semitism’ (punished in Russia like in Western Europe, although not as savagely, like summary execution, as it was under Lenin).
The Soviet Union will not be regarded as some sort of “dark ages” of Russia in which the inquisitorial bolsheviks carried out mass murders of tens of thousands of Russians — its intelligentsia, priests, starving peasants suspected of withholding their required “quotas” of crops, etc. The Soviet Union is to be conflated and identified only with the ‘Great War for the Defense of the Motherland’ so it was heroic.
Stalin is no longer the bloody tyrant whose death was celebrated by spontanbeous ovations by the “zeks” in the prison where Sozhenitsyn was held, as he described in “One Day ion the Life of Ivan Denisovich.” That is contrary to the new narrative.
Can one blame Putin? I think not. He astutely recognized that the most important internal political goal was UNITY. You don’t want to alienate the many communists still nostalgic for the glory of the Soviet Union and its Red Army (“Shiroka strana maya rodnaya…”) nor the many denizens of the ‘stan’ republics by harping on the Orthodox faith as if it were the state religion, but you can placate the faithful by public participation in its rituals, even dunking yourself in frigid waters on Jan 19 (Epiphany).
From 1988. I am sure CIA knew of this.
British and Bolsheviks: the romance of the century
“As one British intelligence figure recently (1988) put it, there are to this day, “joint KGB-SIS operations. There is a unit in SIS called the ‘Soviet Liaison Unit,’ the ‘SL Unit,’ in SIS. There has been one for decades.” https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1988/eirv15n23-19880603/eirv15n23-19880603_056-british_and_bolsheviks_the_roman.pdf

According to Doug Macgregor the “mercenary” dead from the US are estimated at about 450. I do not know where he got his numbers.
Yes,. all of Nina’s interviews are astute. And I also doubt many Americans even consider that the US has colonies in an empire. I doubt many do and they sure do not get any benefits from the endless wars!
BRICS is an International movement that is basically an anti-colonial movement and yes, both Russia and China have enough gold reserves to go back to a gold standard. When that happens the Western dollar based system will collapse. So Larry is very correct here because “He who has the gold rules”.
President Joe Biden’s steadfast support of Israel in the war against Hamas in Gaza may face an electoral test on Tuesday. A grassroots campaign to write in the word “cease-fire” on the ballot in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary gained traction over the weekend.
Just curious…. How many foreign mercenaries, older men, and women would it take to plug the holes in an army that has lost 500 to 600 thousand men and mountains of equipment?
More than exist. What is being supplied now is like a tire patch. Small and temporary.

Excellent discussion. Russia has been saying for a long time that Russia is fighting NATO, not Ukraine. The “mercenaries” are fighting Russia, and many are from NATO countries. You know that the CIA and other NATO intelligence agencies are also there.
Picked this up from Brad Pierce’s https://www.thewaywardrabbler.com/
‘When we raise the question of making a plebeian consul, is it the same as if we were to say that a slave or a freedman should attain that office? Have you any conception of the contempt in which you are held? They would take from you, were it possible, a part of the daylight. That you breathe, that you speak, that you have the shape of men, fills them with resentment.” (Book IV, iii 7-8) Canuleius Livy.
Education matters, as Larry says. This is the history of Rome.

That was one of your best, Larry. You even had Nima laughing. My favorite is still the one with the young lady from RT, way back on April 20, 2022. Everything you said then has held up pretty well. Here’s the link, if anyone wants to watch it: https://sonar21.com/rt-interviews-larry-johnson/
Looks like the Russians made significant gains in Avdiivka.
Also, the Houthis hit another ship….
The Houthis are now living according to the principle that the day is bad when you miss an American or Israeli ship. The military command of the Houthis reported that today the American tanker “Ocean Gas”, carrying liquefied natural gas, was successfully hit off the coast of Yemen. The vessel has a displacement of 54.5 thousand tons and sails under the flag of Panama. The extent of the damage to the tanker is unknown. U.S. strikes and statements about destroyed launchers do not stop the Houthis in any way.
PS. The Arab media specify that it was not the “Ocean Gas” that was damaged, but the container ship “Ocean Jazz” with a displacement of more than 10 thousand tons. The ship sails under the flag of the United States and is used, among other things, to transport military equipment and military cargo of the Pentagon. In fact, it is an auxiliary fleet vessel.

I saw a quote recently that truly hit home with me.
“Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.”
Larry & Nima are examples. I thank God there are so many others. You all have made a huge difference to so many of us that crave honesty and justice.
The MSM are just plain congenital liars, compromised and corrupt. Without these alternate sources of information we would be completely at the mercy of war mongers and degenerate politicians whom the MSM lust for.

Have you heard of Lucy?
Lucy, a cow in California, is destined for immortality. She is the bovine successor of Henrietta Lacks.
Israel, yes, has a right to exist, among other reason for feeding the world while saving the planet. I worry that the war on Gaza may slow down the progress of this noble Jewish endeavor.

“An Israeli company has received preliminary approval from the government to sell the world’s first steaks made from cultivated beef cells, the country’s Health Ministry announced this week.
The ministry said the approval was part of a pilot program for alternative protein carried out by the Department of Food Risk Management.
It also cited the growing global demand for “products of non-living origin,” adding it is working to approve alternative food sources. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the development “a global breakthrough” and “important news for food security, environmental protection, and concern for animals.”
Aleph Farms, which was granted the go-ahead, will make the beef from cells derived from a fertilized egg from a cow named Lucy, a Black Angus that lives on a California farm. However, it could take months before the product is served to diners as regulators must still approve the company’s labels and conduct a final inspection.
“Addressing common challenges such as food security will be the best way to ensure the prosperity of the Middle East region, as well as other regions around the world that are significantly dependent on food imports, with an emphasis on Asia,” Aleph Farms CEO Didier Toubia was quoted as saying by the Times of Israel.
Creating cultivated, or ‘cell-cultured’ meat, also known as lab-grown meat, could help reduce the environmental impacts of conventional meat production, proponents claim. However, producing such meat on a large scale would mean high costs, experts indicate.”
Just need to be sure they power the process/factory/storage/transport with 100% wind/solar/hydro, otherwise the cow-burp/fart CO2 savings will be negligible.
I’ll consider it when that and zee-bugs replaces all the protein available at Davos and Bilderberg meetings.
A visit to the Auschwitz museum, especially one guided by the proper Jewish curators, is for Goyim a ritual like a dunking in the river Jordan for Evangelicals. The Goy, Elon Musk in this case, is expected to come out of it born again, still a Goy, but properly warned.
As one of the richest men in the world he could have bought himself a small favor, asking to have Ben Shapiro excluded from the entourage, claiming that his unbearable, screechy, whining voice demeans the gravity of the occasion.
“Elon Musk, criticized for spreading antisemitism on Twitter, visits Auschwitz: The world’s richest man, who has been accused of tolerating and promoting antisemitic posts on X, the social media platform he owns formerly known as Twitter, visited the concentration camp in Poland on Monday. He made the trip with Ben Shapiro, the outspoken Jewish conservative pundit. International Holocaust Remembrance Day is this Saturday.”
I guess in order to avoid having to gush out about how ‘transformative’ the experience was he said he would need several days to process what he had seen. He pulled the old Goy poet Wordsworth on them, “emotion recollected in tranquility.” Disappointing but they’ll be on top of him soon demanding how he proposes to erase all anti-semitism from X after what he has seen at the museum of all museums.
That’s right near Krakow where Mykhailo Chomiak worked. He was an editor for the nazi propaganda for eastern Europe. Mykhailo is Christia Freeland’s grandfather. They should have given him a tour of his office as well. After that back to the future and straight to gaza that is being liquidated. Oh wait, that’s not part of the narrative, cut.
Rebuilt after WW2 since Germans sappers blew it up as Red Army advanced. I do not subscribe to this pilgrimage concept it is too much „ghoul tourism“ and once you have seen one of these „factories“ you have effectively seen them all. I suppose some people cannot conceptualise without physical presence but it is not to my mind „spiritual“ or „redemptive“ like a cathedral and I certainly consider photographs to be in bad taste
I call it horror porn, a genre which the Hollywood jews have perfected.

Is it possible we’re being played in Israel? We all assume Bibi is insane and our elected officials are under his thumb. What if our deep state wants this just like they wanted Ukraine? Could Israel be their tool to get Iran? They know they most elected officials will go along anyway? Ukraine and Israel have in common a view of being superior to all others, making it easy to whip up their populations. What if Bibi HAS to play along, no matter what?
Not making excuses for Bibi, but when you compare the two countries they have a lot in common. One is key to Eurasia, the other to the ME. Both are key to critical resources. We installed one goverment and have kept the other in power. We lavish money on both. Both have extreme ideologies with a belief in their superiority that seems sociopathic, but that kind of pride can be easily manipulated by even worse sociopaths. Yet, I’m expected to believe that we control Ukraine, but are in turn controlled by Israel? The elected politicians are, but who really runs foreign policy? The deep state would be happy to cover genocide by letting bought and paid for politicians and Evangelicals take the blame. That’s my point, the hand wringing that we see in the White House is BS. I think we are controlling both goverments. (I should add, to my everlasting shame.)
Exactly. Playing along with whom? Why, those that created Israel, and Uk-raine.
Why should Americans play this tune?

How do American Jews feel about a possible Trump presidency. This is what the Forward thinks– below. Unsurprisingly, NONE of the considerations have anything to do with the American people or national interests in general. It is all an upfront “Is it good for the Jews ” question.
• • • • • • ˆ•
“Trump triumphs in Iowa, …. dimming hopes for pro-Israel favorite Nikki HaleyWhen it comes to Israel, Trump has a complicated legacy: Despite sometimes empowering antisemites and tainting Israelin the eyes of many liberal Americans, his administration also took many pro-Israel moves (most of which, it should be said, were either self-serving or largely symbolic).
He recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and managed to relocate the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv in 2018, and his administration kicked off the Abraham Accords, ushering in a new era of normalization between Israel and the broader Middle East.
His statements about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since Oct. 7, however, have been mixed — mostly because he hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s talking about and always says the first thing to bubble up into his mind.
Once a prolific tweeter, Trump now usually posts the first draft of his free associative thoughts on his own outlet, Truth Social. A Univision interview in early November, however, also provides a characteristic sample of his thought process:
“ There is no hatred like the Palestinian hatred of Israel and Jewish people. And probably the other way around also; I don’t know,” Trump said on Nov. 10. “You know, it’s not as obvious, but probably that’s it too. So sometimes you have to let things play out and you have to see where it ends.”
Trump is often pro-Israel in word and deed. But he is only ever reliably pro-Trump.
Nikki Haley, by contrast, is more measured. She is a traditional conservative — if by traditional you mean everything that the Republican party stood for before Trump’s hostile takeover in 2015. And she has boilerplate pro-Israel positions, like the vast majority of American politicians do.
Since Oct. 7, she’s tweeted about Israel and Hamas dozens of times.
“A Haley administration will always have Israel’s back,” and “Hamas committed the worst kind of evil on October 7. Never forget,” she said in the two most popular ones, posted on Nov. 14 and 20, respectively.
Haley has been increasingly embraced in this cycle by moderates, if by moderates you mean Republicans who have grown tired of the lunatics running the insane asylum.
But unfortunately, most of their party’s voters have not.
In the American system of democracy, despite all the bloviation and bluster, the president has just two real jobs: Guide the direction of their party and represent the United States on the international stage. Trump did both poorly, one reason of many that led to his resounding defeat by Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Haley would likely fill both roles better. But this time around, Republican voters just don’t seem to care.
Haley, though she holds positions at odds with those of most American Jews, who tend to overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, is at least stable, predictable and calm. But a President Haley isn’t what we’re going to get. Like it or not, there’s a real chance that in January 2025, President Trump could be headed back to the White House. Those worried about the consequences should either work to re-elect his only real challenger, President Biden, or buckle up and deal with the consequences.”
It was a good conversation, Larry. It always is. This channel, and another one a bit like it, “Through The Eyes Of…”. Both hosting guests who know what they are talking about, interviewed by nice, good, people who know how to listen and let the guest talk, and actually inform viewers.
Such a dramatic contrast to all the assorted talking head clown shows presented on American television as “news”. Every time I watch and listen to a program like this presented on the web, I think about all the people around who, in general, are intelligent and often well educated people, who get little bits of time in viewing the US TV “news”, and actually think they are informed as a result. It’s unbelievably tragic.
Another one of Nima’s occasional guests, the Russian/American (back to fully Russian now) writer Dmitry Orlov, has commented in the past about how, in the past in the USSR, with the propaganda of Pravda and all, at least every Russian with any sense and intelligence higher than peat moss knew full well that their “news” was all bullshit, to the point where it was almost a workable rule of thumb to assume that whatever they were told was the opposite of the truth, and could derive a rough idea of the truth.
Here, masses of people who should be smart enough to know better swallow huge doses of bullshit whole, every day.
I know that, here, on this website, saying this is certainly a case of “preaching to the choir”, but it’s worth saying anyway.
Alaska was sold to the US in 1867 for $7.2 million. This amounts to $142 million today in inflation adjusted dollars. It is a mere pittance compared to the $300 billion in Russian sovereign wealth funds that were seized by the US. So war is unavoidable and someday soon, Alaska may once again belong to Russia.
From a Newsweek article, Jan 22, 2024:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new decree relating to Moscow’s historic real estate holdings abroad, a move interpreted by ultranationalist bloggers as a foundation for future revanchism against Russia’s neighbors—and even the U.S.
The decree, signed by the president late last week, allocates funds for the search, registration, and legal protection of Russian property abroad, including property in the former territories of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
This would include Alaska, swathes of eastern and central Europe, large chunks of central Asia, and parts of Scandinavia.
But you do realize that Medvedev is having fun trolling the imbecilic Western warmongers, don’t you? He– followed closely by Maria Zakharo is mocking them.
But Sarah Palin will keep us informed of any Russian troop movement because she can see Russia from her kitchen window.

A good (as spirited as always) Scott Ritter monologue. Danny is no Nima. He doesn’t ask questions, maybe because he thinks Scott wouldn’t break stride anyway and may not even hear him.. He just nods demurely.
I like Scot’s exuberance. He enacts battles: “Pah pah pah, boom!”
But his prediction that come the New Year Netanyahu will be gone did not materialize…
Excellent interview. What stands out to me is how level headed and logical Larry’s analysis is.

Katz’s Prison ‘Artificial Island’ for Gazans Shocks EU Diplomats When finally the European Union decided to be part of finding a workable solution to the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza, Israel’s new Foreign Minister, Yisrael Katz, attended a recent EU meeting only to spark a controversy.
The EU ministerial meeting on Monday was intended to “discuss the humanitarian crisis engulfing the Gaza Strip and the potential first steps towards a peaceful resolution to the long-term conflict between Israel and Palestine,” Euronews reported.
For his part, Katz was in no mood to talk about alleviating the human suffering in Gaza resulting from the Israeli genocide. Instead, he argued that the solution is to displace Gazans into an “artificial island in the Mediterranean Sea near the Gaza coast.”
Katz’s proposal angered Josep Borrell, the bloc’s Foreign Affairs Chief.
Borrell had described the EU meeting as exceptional, due to its timing and the degree of participation by other EU foreign ministers.
Later on, however, a frustrated Borrell told reporters, following the meeting, that Katz’s proposal was “irrelevant” to the discussion.
Katz and His Videos “I think that the minister could have used his time better to worry about the situation in his country or the high death toll in Gaza,” Borrell told reporters.
According to Euronews, citing Borrell, Katz came to the conference with two videos, which he played to the attendees. One of the two videos “showed a proposal to build an artificial island in the Mediterranean sea off the Gaza coast that would serve as a commercial hub linking the Gaza Strip with the rest of the world.”
Though it was implied that the island would host Palestinian refugees displaced as a result of the Gaza war, a diplomatic source told Euronews that Katz did not directly suggest that “the island could be used to host Gazans”.
Either way, a disappointed Borrell said that the videos had “little, if not no relevance to the question under discussion.”
In other words, Israel seemed uninterested in discussing European ideas regarding ending the war or the future of the conflict. Though the idea of displacing Palestinians, which used to be known in Israel as ‘transfer’, is an old idea, the current war in Gaza made the extremist proposal mainstream among Israeli politicians. Ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, in fact the Israeli prime minister himself, have been calling for pushing Palestinians out of Gaza into other regions. Some have suggested the Sinai desert, others suggested Congo.
Katz’s artificial island idea, however, builds on an old proposal, from 2017 when Katz was then Israel’s transport minister. It was proposed then as “an answer to a reality that is bad for the Palestinians and not good for Israel,” Reuters reported.
This is the video:
https://twitter.com/nizamtellawi/status/1749529568850141476?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1749529568850141476%7Ctwgr%5E2c51e609dc8c24a33d0dc967fe95cf478e881b6e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.palestinechronicle.com%2Fkatzs-prison-artificial-island-for-gazans-shocks-eu-diplomats%2F ___________________________________________________________________ Borrell’s shock at Katz’ proposal, as well as the increased number of Jewish voices in the “diaspora” expressing strong disapproval of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the West Bank make me think that a significant breach is developing between the Israeli and the ”Galut”Jews. It goes beyond the worry that “Israel now makes all Jews look bad.” I think the enormity of the combination between the actual genocide and the Israelis’ (officialdom and public alike) insanely inhuman statements of savage hatred and explicit intent to.commit genocide have shocked them. Spending a pleasant couple of weeks of vacation in a kibbutz every other year, where they see no Palestinians, and then returning home to the US or UK, they held a rather abstract, idealized image of the beloved Jewish state. They, with successful careers in the “diaspora,” some at the pinnacle of politics, finances and media, hold themselves (and demand to be held) up as moral arbiters, exponents of “civilization’ itself. This shook them to their core. They reject identifying themselves with the insane savages in Israel as much as the German Jews despised the unwashed Ostjuden. I hope I am right.

Larry, you’re always great, and Dima is like a follower of Larry King in his remarkably soft non-imposing approach to interviewing his guests. He lets them talk and brings out the best in all of them, as Larry King seemed to suggest and practice and once mentioned as the secret of his success, when he was asked.
Most of all I appreciate your support for Ritter, Assange, the two Andrei’s, and many others. You like to bring talent together, even with their faults and petty disputes.

“a rabid belief in climate change, almost to the point of being irrational”
It’s your house here and I have been censored here, probably for mentioning climate change, and maybe I do go for the throat in arguing, which is rational from a climate fighting dog’s point of view. Rabies is an unfortunate condition and hurts the dog’s judgment. So let’s be clear, I believe in and follow the science of climate change as best I can, and insofar as I am permitted, I will argue for the science and promote the science. After that there’s the politics, economics and the wars related to all that. Like Ray McGovern says, it’s OIL, or Oil, Israel and Logistics and nothing could be more clear these days after the Houthi intervention in our logistics.
But let’s bring Russia and Putin into it. They accept the science. It’s serious science.
We respect Lavrov and Putin? So do I. Why not listen to their words then?
“One more thing I would like to mention is environmental protection and adapting to the climate change. It is thoroughly addressed in your report, and with good reason, as I see it. Environmental and climate problems are no less significant today than economic or political ones, because it is human habitat that we are talking about. The Earth is our common home, which has become especially obvious in this age of globalisation and interconnectivity. We believe that we must take a non-political approach to this package of issues. Instead of turning the green agenda into yet another sphere of confrontation, mutual accusations and underhanded competition, we must use it to bring our nations together. The green agenda must not be an end in itself or a source of fortune for the corporations, which often use people’s environmental idealism for purposes that have little in common with environmental protection.”
Sergey Lavrov
“Firstly, climate change and environmental degradation are so obvious that even the most careless people can no longer dismiss them. One can continue to engage in scientific debates about the mechanisms behind the ongoing processes, but it is impossible to deny that these processes are getting worse, and something needs to be done. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis have almost become the new normal, and we are getting used to them. Suffice it to recall the devastating, tragic floods in Europe last summer, the fires in Siberia – there are a lot of examples. Not only in Siberia – our neighbours in Turkey have also had wildfires, and the United States, and other places on the American continent. It sometimes seems that any geopolitical, scientific and technical, or ideological rivalry becomes pointless in this context, if the winners will have not enough air to breathe or nothing to drink.
The coronavirus pandemic has become another reminder of how fragile our community is, how vulnerable it is, and our most important task is to ensure humanity a safe existence and resilience. To increase our chance of survival in the face of cataclysms, we absolutely need to rethink how we go about our lives, how we run our households, how cities develop or how they should develop; we need to reconsider economic development priorities of entire states. I repeat, safety is one of our main imperatives, in any case it has become obvious now, and anyone who tries to deny this will have to later explain why they were wrong and why they were unprepared for the crises and shocks whole nations are facing.”
Vladimir Putin
18th Valdai Discussion Club
“ How fast the humankind is moving towards replacing hydrocarbons with alternative sources is a different question. According to expert data, global energy consumption will increase in the coming decades, and the ratio between hydrocarbons and renewable sources, such as nuclear power and hydropower, will remain about the same.
Today (whether it is good or bad, but this is the case) this relationship between different sources remains unchanged. The total volume is up. Let us not forget that Russia is a vast country with hydropower capabilities, and we are expanding and will continue to expand nuclear energy. Nuclear power accounts for only 16 percent of energy generation. In France, it is already more than 90 percent, and we have only 16. We have to get to at least 25. Our neighbours, Finland, are going to build as well. And so on. So, we have not missed anything.”
from
Plenary session of the International Arctic Forum
Vladimir Putin attended the plenary session of 5th International Arctic Forum The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue.
April 9, 2019 http://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/60250
“As to Russia, we spoke about it a number of times and we reaffirmed that at the forum again and also agreed on that in the final document. We are going to fully comply with our commitments. In the nearest future we will begin the ratification of these agreements and will conduct the necessary domestic procedures. These issues are highly relevant for us. I stated this at the last plenary session. Let me remind you that according to the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, the warming in Russia is happening 2.5 times faster than the average global warming. This is a major challenge for us. We must realise that. This is the reason for floods, and for permafrost thawing in the areas where we have fairly big cities. We must be able to understand how to react to the climate changes underway there.”
“I don’t get why Germans don’t like nuclear energy. I don’t want to comment on it, but… I don’t understand how you’re going to keep warm. You don’t want gas, and you don’t want to develop nuclear energy, so what are you going to do, burn firewood? Of course, though, you’d have to get the wood from Siberia…”

If anybody can’t hear Putin and Lavrov on nuclear energy, try Eisenhower.
* The United States would seek more than the mere reduction or elimination of atomic materials for military purposes. It is not enough to take this weapon out of the hands of the soldiers. It must be put into the hands of those who will know how to strip its military casing and adapt it to the arts of peace.
‘Dwight D. Eisenhower
* “The governments principally involved, to the extent permitted by elementary prudence, should begin now and continue to make joint contributions from their stockpiles of normal uranium and fissionable materials to an international atomic energy agency. We would expect that such an agency would be set up under the aegis of the United Nations. […] The atomic energy agency could be made responsible for the impounding, storage and protection of the contributed fissionable and other materials. The ingenuity of our scientists will provide special safe conditions under which such a bank of fissionable material can be made essentially immune to surprise seizure. The more important responsibility of this atomic energy agency would be to devise methods whereby this fissionable material would be allocated to serve the peaceful pursuits of mankind. Experts would be mobilized to apply atomic energy to the needs of agriculture, medicine and other peaceful activities. A special purpose would be to provide abundant electrical energy in the power-starved areas of the world.”
* Eisenhowers proposal for the establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency
Nuclear war is not the answer but nuclear energy is advancement. Nuclear war is more than a two edged sword. It’s more like a suicide vest.
For those unfamiliar with Larry Johnson’s reference to bogus threats since World War II, here are two short videos:
“The Illusion Called South Vietnam”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B9BM8OTSB0&t=20s
“The Empire’s Fake War on Terrorism”:
https://youtu.be/aI1ksLBOpXY?t=22
….and here’s another well worth a listen with Larry’s friend Nima and Nicolai Petro, one of my favorite political scientists for I guess, decades now.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/zDH5tIOmaEns/
With Nima’s prompts and his carefully chosen words, Nicolai touches on every point and then some that runs through my head pretty much on a weekly basis. Nima’s a gem as well. Great pick you made with him, Larry.
GODWIN’S LAW — THE RULE OF NAZI ANALOGIES
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law)
Larry there is something called Godwin’s Law. It was originally promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990. Godwin’s law originally referred specifically to Usenet Newsgroup discussions. But now covers all internet thread even one like yours.
Here is the Law: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1″
In 2012, Godwin’s law became an entry in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary
I’ve noticed it for years and attributed it like you to our great education system — well I suppose it is! I referred to it as Trite Nazi Junior High Analogies.
This predates Usenet.
“No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans, the demons will seek a new victim. And that won’t be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey…. We should not forget that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers.”
Carl Jung “The Postwar Psychic Problems of the Germans” (1945)
Carl Jung gave 7 sermons to the dead. Why anyone takes this guy seriously is beyond me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sermons_to_the_Dead
Oh, wait, isn’t there an Argentinian President, Chainsaw Milei that talks to his dead dogs?
As usual, bonbon gets the wrong end of the stick. Jung wasn’t actually “writing to the dead”, he was exploring alternate spiritualities.
OF COURSE the Literalist Evangelicals have a problem with this.
The Abrahamic Texts and the religions based on same are essentially Tribal Authoritarianism wrapped in holier-than-thou mythology. That’s why any “discussion” with any extremest Abrahamic follower (like those that have taken up residence here) leads to the “believe or else” ultimatum, complete with personal threats against your immortal soul. As if they have any power to invoke “God’s will” against you. They use “God” to mask their hatred and ad hominem against any who dare challenge their hubris and arrogance. But of course they’ll “pray for you”… to leave them alone to carry on luring the vulnerable into their 3,000-year-old gaslight-scheme.
Gaslighting, convincing the unwary to believe things that aren’t real, for fun and profit. Well, mostly for profit.
It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled. (I don’t care if Clemens said it or not)
“There are none so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” Goethe
Jung was free to believe what he wished, and individuals are also free to decide if what he wrote was valuable or trash. But bonbon declaring “Why anyone takes this guy seriously is beyond me.” merely shows how limited his grasp of intellectual interrogation and FREE SPEECH is.
And he offers no critique or rationale for his position… other than his dogmatic “faith” that the Bible KJV (ca 1611) is the inviolate, literal Word of God and must be slavishly adhered to buy all humanity. As if no new knowledge has been acquired since 1611, or 2,000, 3,000 years ago. Ignoring the fact that most Christian sects, all Muslims and Jews of the same Abrahamic root disagree with him and his extremist Evangelical cult.
But he believes Phoenicians mined copper around the Great Lakes over 3,000 years ago. Said so here, on Sunday… most browsers allow word search, press “control-f” together, enter phoenician in the dialog box.
https://sonar21.com/a-plea-to-end-the-war-in-ukraine/
If he can’t even do the basic research to see that “theory” is not based in fact, “Why anybody takes this guy seriously is beyond me.”
Hoist by your own petard, bonbon. Again.
Mentioning Jung is your Freudian slip – Jung’s stated objective was to end Christianity- This is no minor slip, King Charles III is a professed Jungian too, a spot of bother for the Anglican Church, what.
Playing the role of Newsguard for free, Agnostic Priest?
Again with the labels… “priest”… project much?
Jung could believe what he wanted to.
I think all the Abrahamic Religions will eventually die, just like all past gods/religions due to the irrational and incoherent nature of the beliefs required when contrasted by emergent and historical real knowledge. Despite past CHRISTIAN religious attacks, the Earth orbits the Sun, there is only cosmology above us and only molten rock below the earth’s crust. No Heaven, no Hell. Spooky Action At a Distance is proven real. There is no God of the Gaps or Ghost in the Machine.The universe is older than 6,000 years.
That I RECOGNIZE Jung’s rights doesn’t mean I agree with him in any way.
So the Head of the Church Of England is planning to end Christianity via his heirs, a major plank in his family’s power base since Henry the VIII chopped off wives’ heads and divorced the rest? Do you think at all before you hit “post’? Do even a TINY bit of research? Chuckie doesn’t want to be revered… so now the pledge from the minions is:
“I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”
In a previous version of the text, published in April, the archbishop was to “call upon all persons of goodwill in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other realms and the territories to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted king, defender of all.”
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/06/europe/king-charles-allegiance-pledge-backlash-intl-hnk-ckc/index.html
But wait, there’s more… sometimes a removed “the” makes a bIG difference.
“The monarchy has responded to these changes in two ways. First, as Prince of Wales in the 1990s, the now-King mused aloud whether the monarchical title defender of the faith should not be reinterpreted as “defender of faith”.
And from Good Queen Liz herself:
“Second, at a Lambeth Palace ecumenical meeting hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury in February 2012, the Queen, speaking as supreme governor of the Church of England in her diamond jubilee year, said:
“The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated. Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.”
He (Chuckie, ed A P) has said as much himself in his recent comments to faith leaders after ascending the throne:
“The beliefs that flourish in, and contribute to, our richly diverse society differ. They, and our society, can only thrive through a clear collective commitment to those vital principles of freedom of conscience, generosity of spirit and care for others which are, to me, the essence of our nationhood. I am determined, as King, to preserve and promote those principles across all communities, and for all beliefs, with all my heart.”
https://theconversation.com/king-charles-defender-of-faith-what-the-monarchys-long-relationship-with-religion-may-look-like-under-the-new-sovereign-190766
Is there ANYTHING you think you “know” that is even remotely correct?
Straight Jung. King Charles III is a Jungian, as quite a few others are. Jung’s stated objective was to end Christianity. Maybe giving sermons to the dead in the belfry?
Jung believed himself to be the reincarnation of Emperor Julian the Apostate (a Mithraic initiate who attempted to wipe out Christianity in 364 AD), but as Richard Noll notes in The Jung Cult, the psychologist literally saw himself as a Dionysian messiah and initiate of Mithra who sought to create a new hedonistic religious order.
AP
Again you assert that the universe is more than 6000 years old, as if that proves something. But what do you think it proves?
BTW you use the word faith, which you place in inverted commas as if to make a point about the word, incorrectly. You use it, I think, to mean a belief in something that cannot be supported with any kind of proof. That is not a correct use of the word. When it is used in respect of Christian faith it means the belief that God, who has revealed himself only to Christians, will do, what he has said he will do. This is just FYI
Thanks for showing the world your intransigence and lack of knowledge. Nitpicking over punctuation preferences is just a distraction. Nice try.
Again, Jung could believe however many nonsensical things he wanted before breakfast. You’re the one harping on what he believed, not I. Despite your attempt to attach me to Jung, I hold no more allegiance to his pronouncements than to your Bible. You have (annoyingly for you, I’m sure) seen me quote bits of the Bible when what it says suits the situation, especially to beat you with your own cudgel.
As the one example you chose, it is widely accepted in many Evangelist sub-ideologies that the universe is only 6,000 years old. If you agree with that assessment, fine, say so and readers can judge your ability to comprehend reality when it stares you in the face. Or not and join the rest of the informed world.
“Revealed himself only to Christians” So you have to BELIEVE before God shows himself. That is backasswards. In the real world, FIRST comes the hypothesis, then research, then proof, then conclusions (or belief, if you prefer). No wonder you “believe” so many things later to be shown are incorrect. You repeat the same error of reaching conclusions before reasonably researching the topic.
Or is it your game to hope others here will follow your procedure, uncritically believing what you spout before (if ever) bothering to verify your claims? A lie confidently delivered is easy to believe, just see any politician in action. And the preaching profession is especially accustomed to never having to provide independent evidence of their claims… the Abrahamic Texts are law unto themselves according to you.
As usual, when faced with a reality you can’t handle, the lapse into Biblical rhetoric and pseudo-intellectual groping.
FAITH is what is required to believe something not otherwise supported by factual evidence. All religions BY DEFINITION operate on faith. That is the inescapable problem all religions face when challenged at the most fundamental level.
You may have FAITH, but you don’t have PROOF. Only God showing up in person, for all 8billion of us to physically see can provide that proof.
Do a pilgrimage to
https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/the-shaping-of-a-world-religion-carl-413
There you can commune with the dead without faith, no proof needed.
Sillier and sillier. You’re the one Hung on Jung… go get Fried on Freud, it’s all navel-gazing bullshit. Not surprising you swallow the Abrahamic Texts hook, line and sinker, fishy fishy.
Most psychology just is hanging vapid labels on people and behaviours. Like you do… to make yourself seem superior? Priest, pagan, sinner, and such adolescent name-calling you try. Might work at church or impress your prof, but not out here in the real world.
But you never seem to make a substantive reply, not just to me but in any of your posts. There’s either a wrong piece of info, or the post is a garbled half intelligible mess.
That’s not free speech, that’s sabotage.
moron ^
All those words to prove nothing.
The march of the sockpuppets proceeds below.
Dude. Give it a rest.
I’ll stop pointing out their factual mistakes and proselytizing when they stop doing it.
I get you: There is no God, and I hate Him.

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry if I irritate you because that is not my intention. What l would like to do is elicit some understanding of your position.
I leave aside your suggestion of my intransigence because I don’t know what you mean and it is probably not important. As for my ignorance well, there are many things upon which l am ignorant and hope to be better informed. No doubt you will help me.
You tax me with citing Jung whom l have never read and about whom l truly am ignorant so l will just pass that by as a mistake.
You then talk about sub ideologies which hold the universe is only 6000 years old. You may very well be right but you fail to address the point of my question which was what is your point in referring to that fact. The obvious point which you failed to make and might have made is that as the universe is established (probably) to be billions of years old the biblical creation account in Genesis is demonstrably false. That is the point which was crying out to be made on your case. It is however an entirely bogus point because the Bible does not say how old the universe is. This means you cannot invalidate the creation account in Genesis by reference to a scientifically established age of the universe.
You then take issue with my assertion that God only reveals himself to Christians and assert that This means belief comes before revelation. You have entirely misunderstood my meaning but that is my fault for expressing my self badly. The true process is that God reveals himself to the elect who then understanding who He is and who we are turn to Christ for salvation. Hence Christians. My apologies for my clumsy expression. This is basic Calvinist Protestantism which in a previous age might have been if not believed at least more widely understood.
You postulate the methodology hypothesis research proof conclusion. That seems fair to me.
You also accuse me of believing things that have been shown to be incorrect. As l do not wish to be incorrect perhaps you will inform me of what they are.
Please also be so kind as to identify the reality that I cannot handle.
It would also be a kindness to me to explain how, as the unbeliever that l think you are, how we came to be here? Are you an evolutionist? If so, what theory do you believe to be true? Please provide the research and proof that lead to your conclusion.
Finally do you believe that dead matter came alive by itself? If so, kindly show how it happened through research proof and conclusion.
In any event you have my very best wishes
How old is universe?

William Mackenzie King had conversations with his dead do and dead mother and took advice from them.
People are strange… your point?
King actually thought his first dog, Pat #1, was the embodiment of his dead mother. And a great judge of character… NOT.
“He (King) later wrote that his host (Hitler) was “was a man of deep sincerity and a genuine patriot.” More than that, Hitler owned “a very nice, sweet smile” and his eyes had “a liquid quality . . . which indicates keen perception and profound sympathy.”
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/the-weirdly-effective-reign-of-mackenzie-king/article_ce2b9a88-8010-5dfb-a6a5-a82996968ec4.html
Also from the above link:
“The fact that odd things — the annual unexplained accumulation of coinage for instance — happen around King’s grave is surely appropriate to a man who until the advent of the Age of Trump qualified as the New World’s all-time weirdest government leader.”
I dunno, George W. Stupid said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. I think maybe Mackenzie King’s Mom and dogs were smarter than God then.
I hope someone asks Milei about Jung.
I hope nobody asks him about sex.We already know too much from him on his adherence to what he thinks is “tantric sex.”‘
The Argentineans would be better served if they transformed their political parties into something they understand and really care about: football (soccer) teams. The championship winner gets to govern until he next “Copa.” At the very least they’d have young leadership.
”The universal posting constant” is ‘dont feed the troll’.
Doesn’t work here. The Evangelists will literally quote chapter and verse, nonstop nonsense if not ridiculed and upbraided with facts on a regular basis. Look back to posts just after Oct 7 to see them at their best.
I only had one that I noticed but I lost it through intentional neglect
Weird, but both Milei and Gonzalo are Pinochet cheerers. Who wudda thunk Jung was so popular in South America?
That is, any Nazi can say, “Godwin’s Law!” – and that’s it, he’s not a Nazi?
A magic pharse, just like whataboutism.
Since it is a statistical law, he’s probably not a Nazi.
Or probably is, much of a muchness.
Dictionaries should be revised:
Nazi = adj. referring to a member of the Nationalist Socialist party in Germany in the pre- and intra-WWII period or any of its supporters. An abbreviation never used by them but only by their opponents, which has become widely accepted.
nazi = common noun as well as adjective referring to any person, ideology, movement or government deemed as the epitome of evil. As such it can be used by any parties in conflict against each other.
That is why the French, Synarchist, is precise. Discovered by the US Army during WWII, it traces back to Napoleon. Synarchist bankers such as Lazard, deWorms had the files.
In other words, me and my people are the good guys. You and your people are evil, so you should die.
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
“And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”
I wish I could still believe that and I wish my belief were justified. But I don’t and it isn’t.
Look at all the monsters who live very long lives doing a lot of harm to others (sometimes millions of others) with malice aforethought, have no problem looking at themselves in the mirror, are celebrated in life and die in their beds.
The older I get the more I prefer dogs to most people.
I agree it is very suspicious that so many french mercenaries were in one location – highly indicative of sheep dipped NATO soldiers. Simplicus wonders if an unexpectedly just dead Italian colonel was hit too.Simplicus also is reporting a major attack on US base in Iraq with the (most modern) Patriot not stopping the attack (with Iranian missiles) and many injuries admitted – watch for training mission (not in Iraq) deaths announced in the next few days).
Biden strategy is insane: “doing the same thing again expecting a different result.”
Good conversation
Sheep-dipped has been obvious for some time and that Leopard with Bundeswehr crew was an instance especially since I believe only 3 bases in Germany could have sourced that crew. U.K. obviously has SBS there and specialists programming StormShadow plus someone has to interface between NATO ELINT and SIGINT and Ukrainian on-Site kit
I do wonder how they dispose of remains – probably sealed casket routine and fixed inquest in U.K. at least. Or maybe cremation in Ukraine which apparently uses animal cremation facilities for bulk processing I read
U.K. is highly dependent on Territorial Reserves for key functions like SAS so I wonder if they are stupid enough to get deployed and be absent from civvie jobs for months
Incredible, but not really surprising they play wolf in sheep’s clothing – from the London School of Economics , Fabian Societ panel.
I’m still waiting for a public appearance by Lord Raytheon; proof of life.
Perhaps he is waiting for his new wardrobe of dresses to be ready before stepping out in public again.
A proper Darth Wader attire.
His absence, like Biden’s absence when he is present, should make even the blind, deaf and dumb start suspecting that the alleged “decision makers” are not at all those who take any decisions in the US.
And Now Bibi is asking for west Jordan … cause “Security guaranties” you know. This guy is nuts … I don’t get how such an endangering person for the long terms security of his own state has not being removed from power one way or another.
Here is the reason .
Sir Henry Kissinger, KCMG, said in 2012 that in 10 years Israel would not exist.
He let something slip – the Oligarchy had already decided on Babylon 2.0 in 2012.
What is King Bibi doing other than inaugurating since 2022 but New Babylon? Even King Bibi’s new map includes old Babylon 1.0.
https://canadianpatriot.org/2023/12/21/sir-henry-kissinger-midwife-to-new-babylon/
Sir Henry, who said twice publicly he served the British Crown in 4 US administrations. That means the Crown’s Israel, Gods Chosen Crown. Netanyahu is merely the foot soldier, Biden the willing goon.
Beating on old bullshit drum of “King Charles of the Flappy Ears is in charge because he claims to be a direct descendant of Biblical King David?
Maybe more closely linked to David Frum…
Yes, the Fabians, like Kissinger, were/are a bunch dangerous, autocratic, self-adulating assholes, but NOW they are just ready-built political/technocratic tools for the Rothschilds. Like Nutty-yahoo and his genocidal gang, Zelensky and his insane US/ZATO Bribe’em NeoCon backers.
Keep the world’s attention focused on Gaza, Ukraine and Iran, while the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, WEF/Davos crowd and AIPAC do their dirty work behind the smoke screen.
Remember, “you will own nothing…”
Israel 1 has for sure caused massive disasters since British Prime Minister Disraeli put wheels on it.
Israel2, Babylon 2.0 looks like a dud from the get go.
First as tragedy, second as farce.
Oblique social reference to Disraeli GEARS, the 1967 Cream album? Swing and a miss… (I used to own an original on vinyl)
I have posted on the Balfour Declaration here, numerous times, but your JUST DON’T GET IT. That is what really put the gears in motion for the ZIONIST/Rothschild Israel Project. Under King George V, for both the original 1917 manifestation of the “letter” and the 1926 parliamentary acceptance. PMs Lloyd George in 1917, Baldwin in 1926. Prior to that, the ZIONISTS were wandering the wilderness looking for a gov’t to endorse their idiocy. The US refused. But LORD Walter Rothschild had the Bank of England by the short and curlies again… all those war loans y’know…
https://balfourproject.org/balfour-declaration/
Trying to deflect attention from the Rothschild culpability for originating the conditions for the Gaza Genocide and more?
Is there ANYTHING you “know” that is real?
Prime Minister Disraeli was THE Zionist, long before Balfour. The Rothschild’s are house help, to take the flak.
To understand Israel this is a must read : Disraeli by Stanley Weintraub
Penguin Books, New York, 1993 717 pages, hardbound
Disraeli may have “spoke(n) passionately about
restoring the Jews to their own land”, but beyond his fantasy book Alroy, there seems to be no actual action in Parliament or little outside that, nothing on the practical scale of Balfour to support your premise. The Balfour Project site gives only passing mentions, for someone you claim was so influential.
Your source was written in 1993… nearly 150 years after his death.
And notably, Disraeli argued on behalf of Lionel Walter Rothschild’s refusal to swear on the Bible, “arguing that Christianity was “completed Judaism”, and asking the House of Commons “Where is your Christianity if you do not believe in their Judaism?”
COMPLETED JUDAISM… Disraeli’s own words. Just what I’ve been saying all along.
Probably in a return of the favour, L.W. Rothschild (for fee) loaned the British gov’t 100Million Francs to buy 44% of the Suez Canal Company, bypassing the Bank of England. Victoria was pleased.
So the Rothschilds were up to their usual bankster tricks even back then.
Israel is British from the get go. From a time when the Black Sun never set.
Well gee, you FINALLY got one thing right, after I pounded it into your head a dozen times and five different ways. But what the Brits got conned into starting via the admitted-Rothschild Balfour Declaration/League of Nations, and Sykes-Picotte jumped the pond to where the post-WW2 seat of power/debt was and remains, THE USA/UN. Does Nutty-yahoo claim to be able to control the British gov’t? NO, it’s the US gov’t he brags about wagging. You don’t get it even when they spell it out for you.
The Rothschilds are still pulling the debt-finance levers, corporate-think. WTF do you think controls the FED? Not Flappy Ears Chuckie or Bojo, bit layers at best, puppets really.
The dynastic family that has financed wars and used that debt to control countries/gov’ts via their Central Banks since the Napoleonic Wars, that’s who.
It’s almost like you’re trying to divert attention away from the Rothschilds…
Maybe Trump can give to them when he becomes POTUS.
There is nothing Trump can give Israel (from seriously depleted and not replaceable stocks) that Biden would not give. La plus sa change…
When, per Allistair Crooke, war with Hezbollah starts in a few weeks, all these plans will go out the window.
Dailymail.com yesterday reported the recent deaths of 4 British soldiers which included a 29 year old Corporal who was a sniper from a Yorkshire regiment that died ”suddenly while on holiday in Fiji”. 2 of the others were young privates from his regiment who may have committed suicide. However they really died, it would not surprise me if at least 1 of their names is on the Russian Ministry of Defense list of eliminated mercs and these guys might rest in peace more easily if not labelled suicides to everyone who knew them. As we can see from telegram videos joining the Ukranian army is a suicide mission that the propagandized volunteer for………
”died suddenly while on holiday in Fiji”
Those Russian missiles sure have some range.
I don’t think I can pick a favorite interview with Nima, Larry. I love the way he facilitates his guests sharing their expertise and opinions. This interview was great as always.
I’m wondering about what people think about this article about ‘Ukraine’ experimenting on its soldiers with a hallucinogenic drug? There’s been a niche pharma group pushing hallucinogens the past few years since for some odd reason. They seem to be involved.
This Ukraine deal is beyond odd, though. Beal, the ‘Yippie’, appears to have been forced by the US government into going the Ukraine to set the project up. Then he was arrested right when he got back to the US. (To silence him?)
I didn’t think what we were doing to the Ukrainian people could get anymore despicable, but it has. Mengele would be so proud of us.

Larry, Max, Sonar Commentary Cult: Until the hostages are released and Hamas surrenders, the war will continue. Just an fyi.
Hey Water Boy.
The War will end when no one wants to be a Jew. And that’ll be sooner than you think. Wanna End Racism? Expose the Talmud, dissolve Israel.
That would leave a lot of Shabbath Goyim unemployed
Speaking at the University of Valladolid in Spain, EU’s Top Diplomat Josep Borrell said Hamas “was financed by the Israeli government in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by Fatah,” according to El Pais newspaper.
https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-funded-hamas-claims-eu-top-diplomat-josep-borrell/
The war will end when the Oligarchy says throwing good money after bad is a dud.
Soon, Borrell will be speaking at the Universidad de VayaConDios, explaining how the KLA, ISIS, al Nusra, Azov, Kraken et. al. and other various and sundry criminal organizations and death squads were/are funded by Washington.
Naw, he will say he was misinterpreted, taken out context, the Spanish means something else, then scamper back to the Garden (of Eden).
También el MEK…Mujahedeen e Kalk…para añadir a la lista…
Y el FLB…Frente de Liberación de Baluchistán…al igual que su oponente, el FLB..Frente de Liberación Baluchi
You are correct. It’s a classic impasse. Note that NOBODY is talking peace.
This will have to burn itself out. To treat the idea that the US will loose hegemony as a personal opinion isn’t the best position. It could be a reasonable deduction based on centuries of history.
Like the US, the Israeli ZIONISTS are “agreement incapable”. Even if Hamas surrendered and all the Palestinians left, Nutty-yahoo and the US would then go after Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Greater Israel, Oded Yinon Plan y’know.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/greater-israel-the-zionist-plan-for-the-middle-east/5324815
This all ends when the Israeli people remove Nutty-yahoo, someone sane in the US gets power (not likely any of the current POTUS candidates) or the ZIONISTS are forcibly pushed into the Mediterranean.
Eventually New Palestine will HAVE to be secular, militarily neutral, where no religion has any more rights than any other.
Otherwise the bullshit religious-tribalist insanity will continue. All because some book of dubious authorship and historical veracity says “God promised virtually all the Middle East to the Jews.”
That’s what “Faith” gets you. EVERY TIME… War.
Cut the money spigot off, first. Do it for UK-raine too. Guns go silent.
THEN do what no “fundie”, nor NATOcon, even NATOpagan want – massive infrastructure , the Oasis Plan, for the region. Israel has the engineering depth.
China will provide credit, no-one trusts the petroEUDollar anymore.
And who is going to cut off the money spigot? The ZIONIST Christians or ZIONIST Israeli dual-citizens in “NATOpagan” Washington? The ZIONIST AIPAC-Rothschilds that hold the PAC donation strings and thereby dictate to all the Congressional Swampers?
Relying on those “godless commies” in China to do God’s work? Has Epoch Times changed it’s CHINA BAD spots?
And who in China would loan Apartheid Israel even one yuan? Not Xi, given he remembers Trumpy’s 59 Tomahawks insult into CHINA-ALLY Syria over chocolate cake, and Bribe’em’s “dictator” comment in San Fran?
You are just spewing incoherent noise now.
Go easy on the caffeine. Epoch Times is a Falun Gong outfit – here having their party :
The Oasis Plan will happen, the petroEUDollar is a gone bunny. Time for a Reset all right. You certainly do not understand China, nor Russia. As Larry says it is an education problem.
Falun Gong, yes it is. But don’t tell the Evangelicals that eat up that CHINA BAD rhetoric with their breakfast. You forget I was raised Christian. The other advantage? I have an real-life window into the Evangelical lifestyle and beliefs… my in-laws. Just like you, they stick their heads in the sand, isolate themselves in their tiny community and refuse to face reality. Shooting fish in a barrel. Wiggle wiggle little fishy, won’t do you any good, trapped in your own beliefs.
And you wouldn’t listen to what a non-believer would say, even if it could save your life, so you’re at a disadvantage facing anyone like me.
You need to figure out how to get the facts straight, your D’Israeli statements just blew up in your face.
I understand quite well, it’s you that has the problem figuring out reality from fantasy.
Who gives a damn if you were damaged by Evangelicals. You have not recovered. Hence the Agnostic Priest. See a nervenklempber.
More silly jabs.
They’re your crowd, you were quoting Bible verses with the rest of the Evangelicals. Trying to shed your snake-skin? C’mon, tempt me with an apple. Feeling a bit lonely?
Damaged? Again, project much? You tried that ploy before, didn’t work then either. I’m not the one believing in things not in evidence. Keep paddling fishy, the world is watching you circle the drain.
Another weak attempt at ad hominem, flailing down to name-calling, poorly disguised as psychoanalysis? Physician, heal thyself.
Polls in Israel say replacing Netanyahoo will change nothing. So only your last option (military defeat) – pushed into the med. remains.
Are you certain people with a lack of faith cannot be tribal?
Polls aren’t always correct. Self-preservation is a powerful incentive. Once it is clear genocide isn’t going to produce the Biblical land of Milk and Honey, and in fact backfire badly, attitudes will change. The Israeli public still thinks the US, IDF and Yaweh can protect them, but once Nutty-yahoo and Bribe’em kick the Hezbolla/Iran hornet’s nest a BIT too hard, that illusion will dissipate.
Of course ignorant, bigoted humans will strive to find some way to blame “the other” for all their problems, religion just seems to make it easy for the leaders to amplify that process. War is always For God and Country, in that order. Patriotism is usually joined at the hip to religion.
Nation states have a cohesive, cooperative role to play, as Russia currently demonstrates. But it’s a fine balance. Obviously beyond the competence or understanding of the US/ZATO Rothschild puppets.
Completely agree – it will require Israel to feel real pain – or the US to feel unacceptable economic pressure (to the 0.001%). But swapping Netanyahoo for another fanatical political figure will change nothing.
The other aspect, which I think is too slow for the Palestinians, is if Israeli’s vote with their feet to the level where the depopulation (of skilled labor) threatens the Israeli economy with collapse.
IMO, once the threat of famine becomes widespread famine deaths, Hezbollah will put an end to the IOF. And I think the IOF, being seriously attrited, wants war with Hezbollah sooner than later.
Agreed, but a change at the top would help cement the Israeli public realization that this strategy is a one-way street to the eradication of Israel and the genesis of New Palestine. I’d watch passport renewals and visa applications a barometer of Israelis getting ready to jump ship.
I doubt the IOF is under any illusions they’ll get their asses kicked even if the US intervenes against Hezbolla/Lebanon. Hezbolla may have a few longer range missiles up their sleeves, and the carrier group may get a surprise. I’d guess Iran, Turkey, Russia and China will stand back as long as they can.
Famous last words?

The name “paul (sched) schneider” is an alias used by a collective group of טרול מסביר – hasbara trolls – to push zionazi/talmudic/mizrahi agitprop. Rotating aparatchiki who troll this site. Over time, there have been at least 3 or 4 different ‘personalities’ and writing styles using that and a couple of other aliases.
Simple fact they are genocidal apologists, trans-semitic (ashkenazi), participants in Genocidal war crimes.
Foreseeing that day that they will be called before a War Crimes Tribunal and suggesting that the sentence of the Tribunal be from their hate-book Babylonian talmud. Look at the link for the sentence:
sefaria.org/Gittin.57a.2?lang=bi The relevant quote:
“Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Balaam himself, in the next world? Balaam said to him: He is cooked in boiling semen, as he caused Israel to engage in licentious behavior with the daughters of Moab.”
NOTE: ”that man” and “Balaam” are both euphemisms for Jesus Christ, used in the talmud. Additionally “Balaam” is used to describe a non-Israelite, and in talmudist thinkling thereby a false, prophet.
Think it is fair to sentence the טרול מסביר – hasbara trolls from their own demonic creed that they imagine among themselves inflicting on Christ.
We shall see, Mr.Schneider. We shall see.
In other news, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
You may recognize this as an old joke. The joke, of course, is in its absurdity and futility. I’ll leave you to work out how this is relevant here.
“Until the hostages are released and Hamas surrenders, the war [in Gaza] will continue.”
“Until” may also include, but is not limited to:
Apart from the last one, none of these is conducive to any notion of peace. As Gil Scott-Heron said/sang a while ago, “Peace is not just the absence of war.”

Russia suspends operations at fuel export terminal after suspected Ukrainian drone attack
Ukraine claims its drones, in the Baltic Sea. Launched from where?
When NATO bombed the NordStream pipelines, they invented the Ukrainian yacht fairy tale.
Another fairy tale, then?
LNG from Qatar takes the long way around The Cape…….Russian supply interruption as the coldest month approaches and US facility in Everett, MA is closed
What “mystery”? We all know the US/ZATO is behind it, whether distraction-attributed to “look at me” Zelensky cat’s paw or more direct action from Baltic/ZATO clowns.
Whatever fairy tale is concocted, what does it matter? Russia undoubtedly knows, the residual shrapnel will tell the tale. Are they going to bother telling the world? maybe, when they are good and ready.
And who suffers most? Not Russia much, a few Billion one way or the other isn’t gonna make much difference. Although it’s gonna be colder in some EU homes until May. Japan and other US-vassal states may find out Novatek and Gazprom, including their eastern depots, may stop shipping to them, if this becomes a regular tactic. Freeze in the dark until you come to your senses.
Russia first said NordStream was Britain, then Sy Hersh said Norway plus US, then US/Germany said Ukraine and Poland, Kiev said no-no.
I take statement #1.
Russia said Kerch Bridge was MI5. BoJo canned the 2022 Istanbul Peace Treaty.
So Sunak’s Treaty with UK-raine is not a joke.
Kabuki Theatre. The guilty US/ZATO ORIGINALLY floated that Russia did it themselves, don’t you remember? OF COURSE you don’t. The only real question was which set of puppets did the actual dirty work. Weapons of Mass Distraction.
Still trying to deflect attention from the Rothschilds Great Reset machinations while the world burns?
Ya, IT’S THE BRITS. Sure, and you own the Brooklyn Bridge, selling cheap.
It has been revealed that the US had already informed BigZ to ignore Istanbul, Bojo was stupidly self-important enough to publicly go and reinforce the message on cue. Jump through the hoops Bojo…
Biden said he would do it months before it was done. Russia instantly said Britain. Hard for US to accept they are the dog wagged by the tail. Think of a Corgi pulling a Mastiff. And it helped that the 40-day Prime Minister Truss on a second mobile announced success.
Hard for hubris-filled US to see how they are played. Quite amusing.
It’s not who plants the bombs, it’s who issues the orders.
Bojo and King Flappy Ears are the masterminds? You really have to share your stash, that’s some hallucination you’ve got there.
And if both the US NeoCons and Brits are incompetent fools, who is in charge? You? No, WAIT… TRUDEAU. HAHAHAH!
Again, I’ve demonstrated it many times and you refuse to learn.
As Martyanov says it is WHO CAN DO!
Brits, SBS, and deep ocean eng,. plus the Norwegian capability. All you have demonstrated is complete ignorance. a pub joke anywhere in Nottingham. To bring up Trudeau, the Hunk saluting “patriot” is hilarious.
Hardly likely to be MI5 which is Counter-Intelligence more likely MI6
Take it up with FSB.
You wage war AND you commit acts of terrorism. When your capacity to wage war has been exhausted you only have acts of terrorism left to fall back on.
Good chat, as usual.

Houthis!
Great interview, Larry. Not a ‘conversation’ since Nima is basically your straight man, a very good one though, asking intelligent, pertinent questions. He is basically giving you bullet points in the form of questions to facilitate your monologues. As such it is indeed one of your best.
Just a few comments:
— The UK is not “the poodle of the US.” That is Macron. He is the poodle (caniche), a bit undisciplined and occasionally naughty but still a vassal pet. The UK is our corgi. Haven’t you noticed how short Boris Johnson’s hind legs are?
Europe is our kennel. We cut their roaming in search of food in all the wrong places so now they have to work for us to earn their rations of ‘Purina’ only we provide.
We can sic them on whomever we decide is the threat to “national security” and Europe’s “security.”
— Which Europeans are “still mad at the Bolsheviks for killing the tzar and his family?!” First of all those Bolsheviks were not Russians. The murderers’ gang sent to kill them were, let’s say, of other ethnicities. Look it up. This is known, which is why this is not a topic ever mentioned by the global elites.
The only people “still mad” about it are the Russians and especially the Russian Orthodox Church. If I don’t misremember the Romanoffs were sainted by the Church.
— Solzhenitsyn did not talk “crap” about Russia being a dictatorship, etc. Never. Not Russia. In fact when he returned to Russia he was celebrated as a truth teller, honored by Putin and lionized for a while on Russian TV. He only criticized the Bolshevik power during the Soviet Union and dared to expose the Jewish leadership of the Party and the Bolshevik repressive apparatus.
He thought Russia’s salvation could only come through faith. He was a “pravoslavnik” like Dostoyevsky.
Unfortunately for him, the political leadership of Russia (led by Putin) had by then elaborated a different strategy to unite the nation and manage Russia’s international relationships with the Western world and especially with Israel: no more criticism of the Soviet Union, let alone the Red Army, and no scrutiny of Jewish power under the Bolshevik regime, which is ‘anti-semitism’ (punished in Russia like in Western Europe, although not as savagely, like summary execution, as it was under Lenin).
The Soviet Union will not be regarded as some sort of “dark ages” of Russia in which the inquisitorial bolsheviks carried out mass murders of tens of thousands of Russians — its intelligentsia, priests, starving peasants suspected of withholding their required “quotas” of crops, etc. The Soviet Union is to be conflated and identified only with the ‘Great War for the Defense of the Motherland’ so it was heroic.
Stalin is no longer the bloody tyrant whose death was celebrated by spontanbeous ovations by the “zeks” in the prison where Sozhenitsyn was held, as he described in “One Day ion the Life of Ivan Denisovich.” That is contrary to the new narrative.
Can one blame Putin? I think not. He astutely recognized that the most important internal political goal was UNITY. You don’t want to alienate the many communists still nostalgic for the glory of the Soviet Union and its Red Army (“Shiroka strana maya rodnaya…”) nor the many denizens of the ‘stan’ republics by harping on the Orthodox faith as if it were the state religion, but you can placate the faithful by public participation in its rituals, even dunking yourself in frigid waters on Jan 19 (Epiphany).
From 1988. I am sure CIA knew of this.
British and Bolsheviks: the romance of the century
“As one British intelligence figure recently (1988) put it, there are to this day, “joint KGB-SIS operations. There is a unit in SIS called the ‘Soviet Liaison Unit,’ the ‘SL Unit,’ in SIS. There has been one for decades.”

According to Doug Macgregor the “mercenary” dead from the US are estimated at about 450. I do not know where he got his numbers.
Yes,. all of Nina’s interviews are astute. And I also doubt many Americans even consider that the US has colonies in an empire. I doubt many do and they sure do not get any benefits from the endless wars!
BRICS is an International movement that is basically an anti-colonial movement and yes, both Russia and China have enough gold reserves to go back to a gold standard. When that happens the Western dollar based system will collapse. So Larry is very correct here because “He who has the gold rules”.
He has contacts in Pentagon if not DIA
Ha’aretz tells us:
President Joe Biden’s steadfast support of Israel in the war against Hamas in Gaza may face an electoral test on Tuesday. A grassroots campaign to write in the word “cease-fire” on the ballot in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary gained traction over the weekend.
• On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a deal from Hamas that would end the war and release hostages, but would leave Hamas in power in Gaza.
Families of the hostages pitched tents outside Netanyahu’s home, demanding an immediate deal, while others disrupted a Knesset committee meeting. “You will not sit here while our children die,” some screamed. There are more than 130 hostages still held captive.
Just curious…. How many foreign mercenaries, older men, and women would it take to plug the holes in an army that has lost 500 to 600 thousand men and mountains of equipment?
Larry? Bueller? Anyone?
More than exist. What is being supplied now is like a tire patch. Small and temporary.
“In Gaza, the West Is Enabling the Most Transparent Genocide in Human History.
This is extraordinary because the states supporting Israel, above all the United States, have claimed the high moral and legal ground and lectured the states of the Global South about the importance of the rule of law.”

Excellent discussion. Russia has been saying for a long time that Russia is fighting NATO, not Ukraine. The “mercenaries” are fighting Russia, and many are from NATO countries. You know that the CIA and other NATO intelligence agencies are also there.

The “elites” reveal how much they hate all the rest of us:

Picked this up from Brad Pierce’s https://www.thewaywardrabbler.com/
‘When we raise the question of making a plebeian consul, is it the same as if we were to say that a slave or a freedman should attain that office? Have you any conception of the contempt in which you are held? They would take from you, were it possible, a part of the daylight. That you breathe, that you speak, that you have the shape of men, fills them with resentment.” (Book IV, iii 7-8) Canuleius Livy.
Sure we do.
But contempt by whom, specifically, not just the obvious political, corporate puppets you seem to be alluding to.
Purpose without focus is ineffective.
Education matters, as Larry says. This is the history of Rome.
That was one of your best, Larry. You even had Nima laughing. My favorite is still the one with the young lady from RT, way back on April 20, 2022. Everything you said then has held up pretty well. Here’s the link, if anyone wants to watch it: https://sonar21.com/rt-interviews-larry-johnson/
What a honey….
Moving right along….
Looks like the Russians made significant gains in Avdiivka.
Also, the Houthis hit another ship….
The Houthis are now living according to the principle that the day is bad when you miss an American or Israeli ship. The military command of the Houthis reported that today the American tanker “Ocean Gas”, carrying liquefied natural gas, was successfully hit off the coast of Yemen. The vessel has a displacement of 54.5 thousand tons and sails under the flag of Panama. The extent of the damage to the tanker is unknown. U.S. strikes and statements about destroyed launchers do not stop the Houthis in any way.
PS. The Arab media specify that it was not the “Ocean Gas” that was damaged, but the container ship “Ocean Jazz” with a displacement of more than 10 thousand tons. The ship sails under the flag of the United States and is used, among other things, to transport military equipment and military cargo of the Pentagon. In fact, it is an auxiliary fleet vessel.

I saw a quote recently that truly hit home with me.
“Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.”
Larry & Nima are examples. I thank God there are so many others. You all have made a huge difference to so many of us that crave honesty and justice.
The MSM are just plain congenital liars, compromised and corrupt. Without these alternate sources of information we would be completely at the mercy of war mongers and degenerate politicians whom the MSM lust for.
Have you heard of Lucy?
Lucy, a cow in California, is destined for immortality. She is the bovine successor of Henrietta Lacks.
Israel, yes, has a right to exist, among other reason for feeding the world while saving the planet. I worry that the war on Gaza may slow down the progress of this noble Jewish endeavor.

“An Israeli company has received preliminary approval from the government to sell the world’s first steaks made from cultivated beef cells, the country’s Health Ministry announced this week.
The ministry said the approval was part of a pilot program for alternative protein carried out by the Department of Food Risk Management.
It also cited the growing global demand for “products of non-living origin,” adding it is working to approve alternative food sources. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the development “a global breakthrough” and “important news for food security, environmental protection, and concern for animals.”
Aleph Farms, which was granted the go-ahead, will make the beef from cells derived from a fertilized egg from a cow named Lucy, a Black Angus that lives on a California farm. However, it could take months before the product is served to diners as regulators must still approve the company’s labels and conduct a final inspection.
“Addressing common challenges such as food security will be the best way to ensure the prosperity of the Middle East region, as well as other regions around the world that are significantly dependent on food imports, with an emphasis on Asia,” Aleph Farms CEO Didier Toubia was quoted as saying by the Times of Israel.
Creating cultivated, or ‘cell-cultured’ meat, also known as lab-grown meat, could help reduce the environmental impacts of conventional meat production, proponents claim. However, producing such meat on a large scale would mean high costs, experts indicate.”
Just need to be sure they power the process/factory/storage/transport with 100% wind/solar/hydro, otherwise the cow-burp/fart CO2 savings will be negligible.
I’ll consider it when that and zee-bugs replaces all the protein available at Davos and Bilderberg meetings.

A visit to the Auschwitz museum, especially one guided by the proper Jewish curators, is for Goyim a ritual like a dunking in the river Jordan for Evangelicals. The Goy, Elon Musk in this case, is expected to come out of it born again, still a Goy, but properly warned.
As one of the richest men in the world he could have bought himself a small favor, asking to have Ben Shapiro excluded from the entourage, claiming that his unbearable, screechy, whining voice demeans the gravity of the occasion.
“Elon Musk, criticized for spreading antisemitism on Twitter, visits Auschwitz: The world’s richest man, who has been accused of tolerating and promoting antisemitic posts on X, the social media platform he owns formerly known as Twitter, visited the concentration camp in Poland on Monday. He made the trip with Ben Shapiro, the outspoken Jewish conservative pundit. International Holocaust Remembrance Day is this Saturday.”
I guess in order to avoid having to gush out about how ‘transformative’ the experience was he said he would need several days to process what he had seen. He pulled the old Goy poet Wordsworth on them, “emotion recollected in tranquility.” Disappointing but they’ll be on top of him soon demanding how he proposes to erase all anti-semitism from X after what he has seen at the museum of all museums.
That’s right near Krakow where Mykhailo Chomiak worked. He was an editor for the nazi propaganda for eastern Europe. Mykhailo is Christia Freeland’s grandfather. They should have given him a tour of his office as well. After that back to the future and straight to gaza that is being liquidated. Oh wait, that’s not part of the narrative, cut.
Rebuilt after WW2 since Germans sappers blew it up as Red Army advanced. I do not subscribe to this pilgrimage concept it is too much „ghoul tourism“ and once you have seen one of these „factories“ you have effectively seen them all. I suppose some people cannot conceptualise without physical presence but it is not to my mind „spiritual“ or „redemptive“ like a cathedral and I certainly consider photographs to be in bad taste
I call it horror porn, a genre which the Hollywood jews have perfected.
Is it possible we’re being played in Israel? We all assume Bibi is insane and our elected officials are under his thumb. What if our deep state wants this just like they wanted Ukraine? Could Israel be their tool to get Iran? They know they most elected officials will go along anyway? Ukraine and Israel have in common a view of being superior to all others, making it easy to whip up their populations. What if Bibi HAS to play along, no matter what?
Poor Bibi, a puppet… you brought tears to my eyes
Maybe we should launch a campaign to liberate Israel from its serfdom.
Not making excuses for Bibi, but when you compare the two countries they have a lot in common. One is key to Eurasia, the other to the ME. Both are key to critical resources. We installed one goverment and have kept the other in power. We lavish money on both. Both have extreme ideologies with a belief in their superiority that seems sociopathic, but that kind of pride can be easily manipulated by even worse sociopaths. Yet, I’m expected to believe that we control Ukraine, but are in turn controlled by Israel? The elected politicians are, but who really runs foreign policy? The deep state would be happy to cover genocide by letting bought and paid for politicians and Evangelicals take the blame. That’s my point, the hand wringing that we see in the White House is BS. I think we are controlling both goverments. (I should add, to my everlasting shame.)
Exactly. Playing along with whom? Why, those that created Israel, and Uk-raine.
Why should Americans play this tune?
i am curious to know how the various foreign mercs communicate with each other and with the Ukrainians: the French only speak French and none of them speak Russian. Do they have translators standing by?
How do American Jews feel about a possible Trump presidency. This is what the Forward thinks– below. Unsurprisingly, NONE of the considerations have anything to do with the American people or national interests in general. It is all an upfront “Is it good for the Jews ” question.
• • • • • • ˆ•
“Trump triumphs in Iowa, …. dimming hopes for pro-Israel favorite Nikki HaleyWhen it comes to Israel, Trump has a complicated legacy: Despite sometimes empowering antisemites and tainting Israelin the eyes of many liberal Americans, his administration also took many pro-Israel moves (most of which, it should be said, were either self-serving or largely symbolic).
He recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and managed to relocate the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv in 2018, and his administration kicked off the Abraham Accords, ushering in a new era of normalization between Israel and the broader Middle East.
His statements about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since Oct. 7, however, have been mixed — mostly because he hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s talking about and always says the first thing to bubble up into his mind.
Once a prolific tweeter, Trump now usually posts the first draft of his free associative thoughts on his own outlet, Truth Social. A Univision interview in early November, however, also provides a characteristic sample of his thought process:
“
There is no hatred like the Palestinian hatred of Israel and Jewish people. And probably the other way around also; I don’t know,” Trump said on Nov. 10. “You know, it’s not as obvious, but probably that’s it too. So sometimes you have to let things play out and you have to see where it ends.”
Trump is often pro-Israel in word and deed. But he is only ever reliably pro-Trump.
Nikki Haley, by contrast, is more measured. She is a traditional conservative — if by traditional you mean everything that the Republican party stood for before Trump’s hostile takeover in 2015. And she has boilerplate pro-Israel positions, like the vast majority of American politicians do.
Since Oct. 7, she’s tweeted about Israel and Hamas dozens of times.
“A Haley administration will always have Israel’s back,” and “Hamas committed the worst kind of evil on October 7. Never forget,” she said in the two most popular ones, posted on Nov. 14 and 20, respectively.
Haley has been increasingly embraced in this cycle by moderates, if by moderates you mean Republicans who have grown tired of the lunatics running the insane asylum.
But unfortunately, most of their party’s voters have not.
In the American system of democracy, despite all the bloviation and bluster, the president has just two real jobs: Guide the direction of their party and represent the United States on the international stage. Trump did both poorly, one reason of many that led to his resounding defeat by Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Haley would likely fill both roles better. But this time around, Republican voters just don’t seem to care.
Haley, though she holds positions at odds with those of most American Jews, who tend to overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, is at least stable, predictable and calm. But a President Haley isn’t what we’re going to get.
Like it or not, there’s a real chance that in January 2025, President Trump could be headed back to the White House. Those worried about the consequences should either work to re-elect his only real challenger, President Biden, or buckle up and deal with the consequences.”
It was a good conversation, Larry. It always is. This channel, and another one a bit like it, “Through The Eyes Of…”. Both hosting guests who know what they are talking about, interviewed by nice, good, people who know how to listen and let the guest talk, and actually inform viewers.
Such a dramatic contrast to all the assorted talking head clown shows presented on American television as “news”. Every time I watch and listen to a program like this presented on the web, I think about all the people around who, in general, are intelligent and often well educated people, who get little bits of time in viewing the US TV “news”, and actually think they are informed as a result. It’s unbelievably tragic.
Another one of Nima’s occasional guests, the Russian/American (back to fully Russian now) writer Dmitry Orlov, has commented in the past about how, in the past in the USSR, with the propaganda of Pravda and all, at least every Russian with any sense and intelligence higher than peat moss knew full well that their “news” was all bullshit, to the point where it was almost a workable rule of thumb to assume that whatever they were told was the opposite of the truth, and could derive a rough idea of the truth.
Here, masses of people who should be smart enough to know better swallow huge doses of bullshit whole, every day.
I know that, here, on this website, saying this is certainly a case of “preaching to the choir”, but it’s worth saying anyway.
Today Medvedev said on X:

Alaska was sold to the US in 1867 for $7.2 million. This amounts to $142 million today in inflation adjusted dollars. It is a mere pittance compared to the $300 billion in Russian sovereign wealth funds that were seized by the US. So war is unavoidable and someday soon, Alaska may once again belong to Russia.
From a Newsweek article, Jan 22, 2024:

What? I wouldn’t trust newsweek to tell me anything.
Britain should have done same for Crown property in area south of Canada
and we’d be better off?
But you do realize that Medvedev is having fun trolling the imbecilic Western warmongers, don’t you? He– followed closely by Maria Zakharo is mocking them.
Young Russian cadets are also trolling “We’ll bring Alaska back for Putin”:

The Russians should stop teasing the retarded kids.
But Sarah Palin will keep us informed of any Russian troop movement because she can see Russia from her kitchen window.
A good (as spirited as always) Scott Ritter monologue. Danny is no Nima. He doesn’t ask questions, maybe because he thinks Scott wouldn’t break stride anyway and may not even hear him.. He just nods demurely.
I like Scot’s exuberance. He enacts battles: “Pah pah pah, boom!”
But his prediction that come the New Year Netanyahu will be gone did not materialize…

Excellent interview. What stands out to me is how level headed and logical Larry’s analysis is.
Katz’s Prison ‘Artificial Island’ for Gazans Shocks EU Diplomats
When finally the European Union decided to be part of finding a workable solution to the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza, Israel’s new Foreign Minister, Yisrael Katz, attended a recent EU meeting only to spark a controversy.
The EU ministerial meeting on Monday was intended to “discuss the humanitarian crisis engulfing the Gaza Strip and the potential first steps towards a peaceful resolution to the long-term conflict between Israel and Palestine,” Euronews reported.
For his part, Katz was in no mood to talk about alleviating the human suffering in Gaza resulting from the Israeli genocide. Instead, he argued that the solution is to displace Gazans into an “artificial island in the Mediterranean Sea near the Gaza coast.”
Katz’s proposal angered Josep Borrell, the bloc’s Foreign Affairs Chief.
Borrell had described the EU meeting as exceptional, due to its timing and the degree of participation by other EU foreign ministers.
Later on, however, a frustrated Borrell told reporters, following the meeting, that Katz’s proposal was “irrelevant” to the discussion.
Katz and His Videos “I think that the minister could have used his time better to worry about the situation in his country or the high death toll in Gaza,” Borrell told reporters.
According to Euronews, citing Borrell, Katz came to the conference with two videos, which he played to the attendees. One of the two videos “showed a proposal to build an artificial island in the Mediterranean sea off the Gaza coast that would serve as a commercial hub linking the Gaza Strip with the rest of the world.”
Though it was implied that the island would host Palestinian refugees displaced as a result of the Gaza war, a diplomatic source told Euronews that Katz did not directly suggest that “the island could be used to host Gazans”.
Either way, a disappointed Borrell said that the videos had “little, if not no relevance to the question under discussion.”
In other words, Israel seemed uninterested in discussing European ideas regarding ending the war or the future of the conflict. Though the idea of displacing Palestinians, which used to be known in Israel as ‘transfer’, is an old idea, the current war in Gaza made the extremist proposal mainstream among Israeli politicians. Ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, in fact the Israeli prime minister himself, have been calling for pushing Palestinians out of Gaza into other regions. Some have suggested the Sinai desert, others suggested Congo.
Katz’s artificial island idea, however, builds on an old proposal, from 2017 when Katz was then Israel’s transport minister. It was proposed then as “an answer to a reality that is bad for the Palestinians and not good for Israel,” Reuters reported.
This is the video:

Borrell’s shock at Katz’ proposal, as well as the increased number of Jewish voices in the “diaspora” expressing strong disapproval of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the West Bank make me think that a significant breach is developing between the Israeli and the ”Galut”Jews.
It goes beyond the worry that “Israel now makes all Jews look bad.” I think the enormity of the combination between the actual genocide and the Israelis’ (officialdom and public alike) insanely inhuman statements of savage hatred and explicit intent to.commit genocide have shocked them.
Spending a pleasant couple of weeks of vacation in a kibbutz every other year, where they see no Palestinians, and then returning home to the US or UK, they held a rather abstract, idealized image of the beloved Jewish state.
They, with successful careers in the “diaspora,” some at the pinnacle of politics, finances and media, hold themselves (and demand to be held) up as moral arbiters, exponents of “civilization’ itself.
This shook them to their core. They reject identifying themselves with the insane savages in Israel as much as the German Jews despised the unwashed Ostjuden.
I hope I am right.

Who is “we”? I no longer identify with my government’s actions.
You need to brush up on the pronouns. “We” is they/them.
Larry, you’re always great, and Dima is like a follower of Larry King in his remarkably soft non-imposing approach to interviewing his guests. He lets them talk and brings out the best in all of them, as Larry King seemed to suggest and practice and once mentioned as the secret of his success, when he was asked.
Most of all I appreciate your support for Ritter, Assange, the two Andrei’s, and many others. You like to bring talent together, even with their faults and petty disputes.

“a rabid belief in climate change, almost to the point of being irrational”
It’s your house here and I have been censored here, probably for mentioning climate change, and maybe I do go for the throat in arguing, which is rational from a climate fighting dog’s point of view. Rabies is an unfortunate condition and hurts the dog’s judgment. So let’s be clear, I believe in and follow the science of climate change as best I can, and insofar as I am permitted, I will argue for the science and promote the science. After that there’s the politics, economics and the wars related to all that. Like Ray McGovern says, it’s OIL, or Oil, Israel and Logistics and nothing could be more clear these days after the Houthi intervention in our logistics.
But let’s bring Russia and Putin into it. They accept the science. It’s serious science.
We respect Lavrov and Putin? So do I. Why not listen to their words then?
“One more thing I would like to mention is environmental protection and adapting to the climate change. It is thoroughly addressed in your report, and with good reason, as I see it. Environmental and climate problems are no less significant today than economic or political ones, because it is human habitat that we are talking about. The Earth is our common home, which has become especially obvious in this age of globalisation and interconnectivity. We believe that we must take a non-political approach to this package of issues. Instead of turning the green agenda into yet another sphere of confrontation, mutual accusations and underhanded competition, we must use it to bring our nations together. The green agenda must not be an end in itself or a source of fortune for the corporations, which often use people’s environmental idealism for purposes that have little in common with environmental protection.”
Sergey Lavrov
https://thesaker.is/sergey-lavrov-on-the-causes-of-turbulence-in-modern-international-politics/
“Firstly, climate change and environmental degradation are so obvious that even the most careless people can no longer dismiss them. One can continue to engage in scientific debates about the mechanisms behind the ongoing processes, but it is impossible to deny that these processes are getting worse, and something needs to be done. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis have almost become the new normal, and we are getting used to them. Suffice it to recall the devastating, tragic floods in Europe last summer, the fires in Siberia – there are a lot of examples. Not only in Siberia – our neighbours in Turkey have also had wildfires, and the United States, and other places on the American continent. It sometimes seems that any geopolitical, scientific and technical, or ideological rivalry becomes pointless in this context, if the winners will have not enough air to breathe or nothing to drink.
The coronavirus pandemic has become another reminder of how fragile our community is, how vulnerable it is, and our most important task is to ensure humanity a safe existence and resilience. To increase our chance of survival in the face of cataclysms, we absolutely need to rethink how we go about our lives, how we run our households, how cities develop or how they should develop; we need to reconsider economic development priorities of entire states. I repeat, safety is one of our main imperatives, in any case it has become obvious now, and anyone who tries to deny this will have to later explain why they were wrong and why they were unprepared for the crises and shocks whole nations are facing.”

PUTIN endorses Nuclear Energy:
“ How fast the humankind is moving towards replacing hydrocarbons with alternative sources is a different question. According to expert data, global energy consumption will increase in the coming decades, and the ratio between hydrocarbons and renewable sources, such as nuclear power and hydropower, will remain about the same.
Today (whether it is good or bad, but this is the case) this relationship between different sources remains unchanged. The total volume is up. Let us not forget that Russia is a vast country with hydropower capabilities, and we are expanding and will continue to expand nuclear energy. Nuclear power accounts for only 16 percent of energy generation. In France, it is already more than 90 percent, and we have only 16. We have to get to at least 25. Our neighbours, Finland, are going to build as well. And so on. So, we have not missed anything.”

Plenary session of the International Arctic Forum
Vladimir Putin attended the plenary session of 5th International Arctic Forum The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue.
April 9, 2019
http://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/60250
“As to Russia, we spoke about it a number of times and we reaffirmed that at the forum again and also agreed on that in the final document. We are going to fully comply with our commitments. In the nearest future we will begin the ratification of these agreements and will conduct the necessary domestic procedures. These issues are highly relevant for us. I stated this at the last plenary session. Let me remind you that according to the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, the warming in Russia is happening 2.5 times faster than the average global warming. This is a major challenge for us. We must realise that. This is the reason for floods, and for permafrost thawing in the areas where we have fairly big cities. We must be able to understand how to react to the climate changes underway there.”

“I don’t get why Germans don’t like nuclear energy. I don’t want to comment on it, but… I don’t understand how you’re going to keep warm. You don’t want gas, and you don’t want to develop nuclear energy, so what are you going to do, burn firewood? Of course, though, you’d have to get the wood from Siberia…”

If anybody can’t hear Putin and Lavrov on nuclear energy, try Eisenhower.
* The United States would seek more than the mere reduction or elimination of atomic materials for military purposes. It is not enough to take this weapon out of the hands of the soldiers. It must be put into the hands of those who will know how to strip its military casing and adapt it to the arts of peace.
‘Dwight D. Eisenhower
* “The governments principally involved, to the extent permitted by elementary prudence, should begin now and continue to make joint contributions from their stockpiles of normal uranium and fissionable materials to an international atomic energy agency. We would expect that such an agency would be set up under the aegis of the United Nations. […] The atomic energy agency could be made responsible for the impounding, storage and protection of the contributed fissionable and other materials. The ingenuity of our scientists will provide special safe conditions under which such a bank of fissionable material can be made essentially immune to surprise seizure. The more important responsibility of this atomic energy agency would be to devise methods whereby this fissionable material would be allocated to serve the peaceful pursuits of mankind. Experts would be mobilized to apply atomic energy to the needs of agriculture, medicine and other peaceful activities. A special purpose would be to provide abundant electrical energy in the power-starved areas of the world.”
* Eisenhowers proposal for the establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency
Nuclear war is not the answer but nuclear energy is advancement. Nuclear war is more than a two edged sword. It’s more like a suicide vest.
