Colonel Douglas Macgregor:
"If we do these things [Israel] wants us to do we will be involved in a very large regional war that stands an excellent chance of destroying Israel. I'm somebody that thinks Israel deserves to exist. This government in Israel is absolutely committed to regional dominance by Israel, and we [Americans are] supposed to underwrite and support this hegemony. The assumption is that if they can't dominate the region they have no security.
"So the next step is to attack Hezbollah, try to make it look like Hezbollah brought it on--and we go from there.
"In the mean time the West Bank erupts, the Gaza war is not over, they may have killed tens of thousands of people and driven hundreds of thousands out. It's not over. ... nobody around Israel wants a war."
But what Netanyahu wants is to escalate...."their answer to everything is escalate. If you escalate you inevitably pull in your vassal state--the United States--and the US Armed Forces will do your bidding. That's where we are. The Israelis are not difficult to figure out--I understand completely what they're doing, and why the larger problem is for the United States. What are we doing?
"Well, we have been bullying, sanctioning, and bombing everyone who doesn't agree with us for years--easily for 30 years. We bombed our way through the Balkans, we waged war in Somalia before we went to the Balkans. That didn't work. What we created in the Balkans is an unsustainable status quo. Then we moved on to the Middle East. We've created a disaster in Afghanistan, we created another one in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya. So what's the answer? The answer is always the same: escalate, bomb some more. This won't work. It hasn't worked. It's not going to work."
"There are times when a people tolerate an evil for so long that they cease to recognize its enormity. The evil acquires procedures, professional language, political constituencies, legal protections and respectable explanations. Eventually bloodshed receives a clinical name, partiality becomes public policy, and injustice—once sufficiently regulated—begins to look almost ordinary."
-- Bill Evans
The @EU_Commission met today with Meta & TikTok on the situation in Ceuta.
"Platforms must act decisively in keeping the integrity of the digital space, in particular during crisis situations. Monitoring must increase, cooperation with fact-checkers to be strengthened."
What has social media been commanded to do? Cover up the fact that 72,000 military aged males invaded Spain over a two day period? Spin the story? Hire fact checkers who say, "Don't believe the misinformation. It was only 72 migrants." What were the orders given to social media regarding the Hungarian election of 2026? What orders are being given to the new puppet government of Hungary by the EU?
In a new book, two New York Times writers describe an interview in which Trump had an aide bring out a two-page list of the most powerful leaders in history — Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, Hitler — and argued he’s more powerful than any of them. The most powerful man, he told them, ever to walk the face of the earth.
Why would he want any association with these genocidal tyrants?
"Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame."
I Corinthians 15:33-34
