This Wicked World
Falling for the new current thing is as easy as the normies make it look.
They’ll say, ‘This was a surprise attack, we had no idea it was coming.’
Oh yeah? Who the hell do you think you’re talking to, a bloody idiot?
— David Icke
Cold War 2.0
The Palestinian-Israeli doom loop can be described thusly: An enemy defines us, empowers us, and bails us out to offer justifications for whatever we require at any time we seek it.
After three years of criminal investigations and political turmoil for Old Bibi Netanyahu, including attempts to hijack the courts and create a nice cozy police-state dictatorship, he’s conveniently found his empowerment and justification. While the choreographers of global chaos have the ‘multipolar world’ psyop moving in their preferred direction.
Those of us who lived through part of Cold War 1.0 recall the useful strings of ‘nukes at any moment’ to control the fearful masses. Version 2.0 is shaping up nicely with their creation of BRICS vs the Western “rules-based order” of ineffectual neoliberal morons, whose subservience to global catastrophe is betrayed by their sheer incompetence at, well, everything.
Each side serves as a nice foil for the other, and as the play-theater for operation “multipolar world” heats up, there is no better region to instigate atrocities for a new act than that holy patch of desert filled with religious fanatics.
That would square the map as follows into the following nuclear hot zones.
Russia-NAZO
China-Japan/S. Korea/US-NAZO
North Korea-Ditto
India-Pakistan
Iran-Israel
And so now Alex Jones says World War Three is just nine months away, and humanity had better hope he’s finally wrong and it’s all just theater to keep the masses afraid, and thereby easier to control.
Holy Moly
Apart from that Necrocracy draped in perpetual darkness called North Korea, Gaza is the world’s largest outdoor prison. The thirty-foot-high walls around it are monitored by hundreds of Israeli cameras and sensors for perpetual surveillance.
One wouldn’t expect anything less of a people declaring their enemies, “want to wipe Israel off the map.”
Rules for radicals: Always accuse your enemies of that which you are guilty.
There is no clear and free path to get into Gaza, and unlike all of North Africa’s human trafficking-by-sea operations, there’s no way to escape even by boat. Decades of tunnel construction beneath Gaza’s border towards Egypt have been met with hostilities by the Egyptians who often flood the tunnels with water and sometimes gas.
How the region of Palestine (British Mandate) went from covering all of present-day Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire to two tiny blips on the map is complex and nasty.
The justifications for hostilities by Jews or Arabs can be easily programmed into either side’s supporters through a series of historical talking points, easily memorized and regurgitated on recall.
Having sat through endless political debates, organized, and amateur in the auditoriums of Political Science departments of three universities dating back to the Intifada of 2000, this author is familiar with most of them and could argue dispassionately for one side or the other as if a full-blooded cult member.
I have no desire to rehash history, sing the praises of, or condemn the atrocities of any religious tribes or peoples.
There are plenty of half-wits on social media already giving it their best shot.
A defense of one side will invariably lead to aggressive accusations and hostilities by the millions of programmed adherents to the other side. This is exactly what the agents of global chaos love to see and are exacerbating at the moment across attention networks.
Par example:
Q: Why can’t Palestine exist as a state?
A: You raging anti-semite terrorist supporter who doesn’t believe Israel should exist!!
Q: If Israel isn’t going away, and has been a state since 1949, why doesn’t Hamas recognize it and negotiate a two-state settlement?
A: You apartheid-state-terror-supporting genocidal Palestinian-hating asshole!
This is what “social” media has been reduced to—emotional manipulation for political expedience and social division. Put up flag avatars and repeat the mantras.
This piece assumes you are already somewhat familiar with the geopolitical history of the region going back to at least British colonial rule, and at least somewhat apprised of the religious history as described in ancient texts.
A friend who was unfamiliar with the history of the region once said, “If it were up to me I’d draw a line in the sand from west to east in the geographic center, give each side some nice beaches (as if that’s what they wanted most), and build a massive wall fifty times higher than China’s while declaring all holy sites independent tourist zones for international monitoring.”
The British tried something even less thoughtful and cocked it up nice and good. The Jews declared their independence within a year, fought off the objecting Arabs multiple times, got the backing of both the US and USSR and the rest is bloody history.
That said, we must consider yesterday’s events with two assumptions rooted in common sense and historical precedence.
Nothing was “unprovoked” as all the Western politicos on their knees for their Israeli masters are claiming, from the Marxist loafer Bernie Sanders to Jim Jordan to that bloodthirsty sow Nikki Haley. Each dufus regurgitated the same PR spox-written garbage, not unlike that other famous mantra “I’ve tested positive for COVID-19 for the sixteenth time, and I’m grateful for the protection of the vaccine blah blah derpy derp.” In fact, one could argue there was a great deal more deliberate provoking going on in this part of the world than eight years of ethnic cleansing of Russians in the Donbas by CIA-funded UkroNazis.
Israel knew it was coming, who was involved, how it would happen, and they let it happen for hours and hours and hours, diddling their thumbs as if “completely caught off guard.”
Let’s begin with the less complex assumption, the second one.
The Watchers
When one travels by air to Israel they are met with the most sophisticated panoply of surveillance and psychological profiling on the planet. It makes New Jack City’s stop-and-frisk law look like a libertarian’s paradise.
There are highly trained humans analyzing every individual who crosses through Israeli customs. Agents are trained to spot suspicious peculiarities in behavior, mood, attitude, attire, affectations, speech, and language, all the way down to facial expressions and eye contact.
If they don’t like you, they will deport your ass without offering any justification whatsoever. Their suspicions, warranted or not, are all they need to give you the boot.
A German kid I attended graduate school with flew into Tel Aviv to frolic at some rainbow march and rave. He accidentally packed his anti-anxiety meds in his suitcase and when he landed was a fidgety mess as he traversed passport control.
Mossad agents (most likely) pulled him into a back room where they let him stew for twenty minutes while observing him on camera as he went from fidgety to damn near epileptic. As he recalled the story to me, “At first I thought they pulled me aside because of my German passport, and that made it all worse.”
A good cop and a bad cop took turns questioning him. They didn’t buy his medication alibi until he told them he had a prescription from his doctor in his wallet inside his backpack he kept for emergencies. When they found it and translated it, they sent someone to collect his luggage which was brought to him so he could pop a pill and relieve his nerves.
They still were preparing to deport his ass until he showed his rave tickets and hotel reservations, and travel insurance. When an Israeli friend vouched for him in person at the airport, they finally let him go.
A German and Israeli walk into an airport…
Today the official narrative managers want us to believe the most technologically sophisticated surveillance state (inside and outside their citizens’ bodies—most vaxxed) couldn’t monitor people who they claim “want to wipe Israel off the map” in a geographical area the size of Brooklyn from Coney Island to Rikers Island.
A nervous German kid at customs demands our full attention, but those Gaza folks who want to wipe us off the face of the earth…oopsie, we just slipped up our total surveillance of people on hang gliders and mopeds.
Uh-huh.
Any lapse in Israeli security that pathetic is a permitted and planned lapse in Israeli security.
As for the first assumption, anybody who is familiar with and honest about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians would concede that this attack was not “unprovoked” and quite the contrary.
Even Americans who know about dancing Israelis would say it was anything but unprovoked. Israel’s power and influence extend far beyond its own borders, and its political machinations and psychological operations do not flourish without that reach.
Holding Fast
Being anti-war is easy at cocktail parties and on first dates.
When everyone is screaming their lungs out from psychological manipulation, after a lifetime of ideological programming, and demanding that sides be taken, few people stay the course and hold fast to their anti-war beliefs.
To stick to principles in times of hysteria requires courage. To be balanced and thoughtful is to be brave.
Nobody running for any political office showed courage yesterday.
Candidates like RFK Jr. probably lost quite a lot of support in the process.
After a few hours of observing the spectacle on “X”, I only found two individuals with the courage to stick to their principles, call out the hysteria, question the official laughable narrative, and not make everything a tribal or political argument about the Orange man or demented one.
Ironically it was two Davids.
One libertarian comedian…
And one “conspiracy theorist” who is banned from traveling to the EU…
When images of civilian blood and brains spilled on the streets make the rounds on attention networks, everyone reveals their tribal allegiances, and very few of them reject their tribal instincts, limit their emotional impulses to question the motives of those sharing the horror, and stick to their principles.
In a war on humanity putting humans first means defending the lives of innocent Ukrainians (non-UkroNazi) sent to the meat grinders of the Donbas, as equally as defending the lives of Russians, Palestinians, Jews, and especially Christians, one of the most persecuted groups in the middle east that gets no attention at all.
If our species is to survive this war then all human life must matter…with the exception of the global instigators that have declared war on us all.
The only good war criminals are those at the end of a rope and after the past few years, we’re really going to need a lot more rope.
As Agenda 2030 continues to unfold before our eyes, this Good Citizen is for the one thing that those war criminals will go to great lengths to ensure is absent across as much of the world as possible…

Dude.... I had like three or four quotes that I LOVED:
1: "This is what “social” media has been reduced to—emotional manipulation for political expedience and social division. Put up flag avatars and repeat the mantras."
2: "To stick to principles in times of hysteria requires courage. To be balanced and thoughtful is to be brave."
3: "If our species is to survive this war then all human life must matter…with the exception of the global instigators that have declared war on us all. "
I honestly have nothing to add to this. This was an excellent piece. I just wish more people would stay away from the screens because we have NO way of telling what's true and what's fake:

I lived through the past almost four years. Nothing (and I mean nothing!) coming from the political/media class is ever going to pass the smell test for me ever again.
