Praying For Peace, In the 3 minute video he made, while mostly walking to the Israeli embassy in Washington, Aaron explains softly, with the sincere tone of a really good math tutor, trying to help a kid with geometry, what he is about to do and why he is doing it. That 3 minute video is his contribution to our world. It is here.
My conclusion is, Israel is the State of Satan and Bibi is its leader. Why are there still people in America and Canada who think what Israel is doing is okay, how on earth is it ok to starve innocent babies and adults. God sees all of this and Israel will pay the ultimate price.
Thank you once again John for chronicling the cataclysmic confluence of world events. I need to head to the garage and spend an hour on the old lemond spin bike to recover.
We have communicated sporadically since the plandemic began. Military Brat - my dad flew fighters in WW11 and bombers in Korea. SAC bases mostly. Student of world religions with a particular interest in Zen Buddhism. Cyclist - I restored and ride a Lemond Poprad with an old school Shimano Ultegra Triple drivetrain. VietNam Vet turned pacifist. Have lived in SW Colorado the past 30* years. I suspect that if I lived in your neighborhood we would find many common interests to discuss during leisurely bike rides. freshquest@protonmail.com
Americans starting to stand up, sadly, by immolating. But I feel a strange sense of pride, that he had the balls to do that for the right reasons. I mean, to control your own death is a strong thing. It's central to what we are up against, ie, not controlling our deaths.
thanks John....I am 'a bit' Algonquin, (or Cree or Montagnais or such) from Quebec, and think about how the native kids hid under water using reeds to breathe....as they were pursued by the French ex military, knowing that I am a mix of all that....hard to parse, eh?. peace.
;-( When I was 4-5 I asked my Grandmother why the Indians were so mean to the cowboys. She explained that the cowboys stole their land...
"So the cowboys are the bad guys and the Indians are really the good guys?"
"Yes, that's right", she answered.
When I finished Family Practice Residency, I went to serve on the Navajo Res. for 2 years, as a result of that clear explanation from my Grandmother, who gained a Quaker morality from her mother, who I also knew in early life.
...always some 10% leading the pack....for good or bad. Kind of like in brewing, how a yeast takes over (beneficially in this case)....the 10% factions of good and bad become the 70%....such a crazy soup just now, best to keep throwing in good stuff....thanks for all you do..
re Navalney: it was reported in many sources, mainstream and otherwise, that he has received multiple COVID "vaxes". Firstly in Germany where he was treated for loudly claimed novichok poisoning which he mysteriously survived, but turned out to be self-medicating overdoses of lithium and other drugs, not so widely reported but reported just the same.
On the other hand Navalney was visited by his lawyer the day before and could have been passed something. IMHO "they" went too far by having his (previously unknown) wife appear at Munich perfectly coiffed and dressed within 20 hours of his death to deliver her speech. If they'd left the wife out the finger could point anywhere. With the wife in, plus lawyer visit, culminating in Munich, it looks like another Nuland set-up. Btw, nothing else happened at this Munich conference :-)
Meanwhile in Russia Navalney's mother has nothing good to say about her daughter-in-law who has been living in luxury with an oligarch in the US for the last 4 years.
Five Americans killed themselves to protest the Vietnam War and I do not know of it??? WTF! I have been recently learning that the news of the war was kept from the public, but keeping a suicide from the public is JUST TOO MUCH! Let alone 5 suicides. Lets me know how much the govt. thinks of us citizens. Beyond cannon fodder.
I value Mr. Bushnell. He acted on his values. What can I do to honor his sacrifice?
McNamara seems a conflicted person of no values, tyring to prove otherwise. And we let him.
Thank you for this list of martyrs. Never forget!
To change direction, Netanyahu is a mad dog. He appears to care only about himself, the number of dead matters nothing to him. What has happened to the fantasy (?) of international values of peace and co-operation and . . . ?
How in the hell can you compile these summaries? It might be easier in late spring, when your garden can compensate. But now? Please take care!!
Why do I keep thinking “Winken, Blinken, and Nod”?
I still salute the Houthis. And frankly I do not care about the motivations of Russia. They are America’s favorite scapegoat, which means, to me, that they may be innocent —but that America does not care, America only needs a fall guy.
Why in the hell did Ukraine decide to rely on America to save it from what? Russian aggression? An inadequate leader? Suck it up!
Regarding the 100 mile Constitutional Free Zone whose residents have no constitutional rights, I live in such a zone. In northern California. WTF?
Thank You, Susan. I am fairly compulsive about bottom-feeding stories off the internet, but I do garden, do mow 4/5 of an acre, do bicycle regularly, do cook and clean, and did do a lot of work on that house in 2022 and early 2023, my dream house, that I drew the plans for, general contracted, bought all the special pats for, built the stairs, pantry and closet, installed all the insulation, kitchen cabinets, and oak floor, and especially all those cabinet plywood walls I finished and screwed-in.
I agree with your views, but think Netanyahu is very intelligent, vampirish, a very dangerous sociopath. A mad dog would be much simpler...
Oops, time to hit the sack. Thanks for being a friend.
"Thumbnail Green", who sometimes comments here, is an Aussie rural permie who works long days. He is unvaccinated. Almost everybody in his life and neighborhood shunned him hard for 3 years. He used to comment on it at The Automatic Earth blog, as Oxymoron. The shaming and shunning seems to have tapered off a lot.
I hate -- actually, I love -- to disagree with that war criminal McNamara, but there were protests going on in 1965. He was simply turning a blind eye to them just as our current war criminals ignore all the protests against genocide. In Ken Burns's documentary about Vietnam, there's my father front and center in one of the still photographs, marching with an SDS protest, and I will mention that my father was horribly ill with cancer at the time (he died one day before MLK was murdered).
Always these people who ignore their own society and the dissidence and resistance within it, and then state that there wasn't much going on. When McNamara did his mea culpa I felt sick. I do not want to hear apologies from war criminals, I want them to get on their knees and pray for forgiveness, then go out and do some reparative work such as removing land mines in Vietnam.
McNamara did fine at Ford, a detail & systems man, not policy wonk.
I think the MIC wanted him as Secretary of Defense for that reason. They wanted him to goose production while they ran war policy.
I remember MLK's assassination very clearly.
My dad was a Major in the USMC, who had returned from Vietnam shortly before the 1968 Tet Offensive. I was developing my own evaluations of the political world, independent of his...
On a brighter note I was working north of Hanoi years ago and visited the infamous Hỏa Lò Prison or Maison Centrale better known as the Hanoi Hilton which was saved from demolition by - apparently - John McCain, indeed! His flight suit was also on display at the military museum, amongst numerous other interesting exhibits. The nicest place is (I think it’s called) the University of Literature restored by Amex as part of the American-Vietnamese reconciliation projects.
Thanks for finding that! Hanoi is well worth a visit if you’re in that part of the world and if you like live music Mr Minh’s - Vinh Minh jazz club was excellent. On the weekend all those infuriating scooters, hundreds of them, circle that lake until the cops chase them at midnight. I know that because I did a few laps as a passenger,,,great fun.
When we sold the house and cars and bicycled/backpacked around the world on the proceeds in 2005-2006, we went to Thailand, including trekking and river rafting, Laos, including Mekong travel and jungle trekking, and also Cambodia, where my older son got appendicitis, I shot him full of antibiotics and we hightailed it to Bangkok for surgery.
We did not go to Vietnam, though I would have liked to. I read "Catfish and Mandala" with great interest, but we did not have enough time to properly visit Vietnam.
Did anybody read Laura Loomers various messages/tweets to his family “they should be ashamed to have been even related to him”, his friends and him generally ‘F*** him”. Unreal,,,I think she’s one of Trumps biggest publicisers, so even Biden would be an improvement in terms of Israel.
I have read that. It is mostly speculation, presented as fact. The first 2 points are completely speculative in their conclusions:
1) Israeli, American and Egyptian Intel chiefs met in Paris (IMO) to put the finishing touches on a plan to expel the Palestinians from Gaza.
2) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is about to provide Egypt with a $10 billion loan for “handling a potential deluge of Palestinian refugees that Israel seeks to ethnically cleanse from Gaza.” (The Cradle)
3) Egypt is preparing a “desert area with some basic facilities” to shelter potential refugees” in the near future.
4) The IDF has continued its daily airstrikes on civilian sites in Rafah in order to intensify feelings of high-anxiety and panic that will help to trigger a stampede into Egypt.
5) Food trucks are prevented from entering Gaza. Israel is deliberately starving the Palestinians so they will flee their homeland as soon as there is an opening at the border.
I would question number 2. Why should Egypt take a poisonous IMF loan - let me emphasise that: LOAN - which its taxpayers would have to pay and / or assets (like Suez) pledged and seized in kind - to house and feed , educate and medicate millions of Palestinians??? NOT the world throwing free cash at Egypt to do so?
To understand international politics, you need to realize the role of the USUK / Israeli surveillance state. They have damaging info, often with video, of world "leaders" and their minions. So when you cannot fathom why [fill in your country or "leader" of choice] does something, you can be pretty damn sure that someone is being blackmailed. I highly recommend Whitney Webb's One Nation Under Blackmail which details how Jeffrey Epstein came to be and who preceded him. He was murdered because with digital surveillance USUK / Israel no longer needs such filth though they're collecting the same data.
Yes, I agree, but I think Epstein was extricated and a body-double was killed, to show the team-players who was still in control, and that they should stay on the team.
I don't think so. Epstein had become an inconvenience and he was no longer needed. Maxwell obviously did a deal knowing she would be murdered if she didn't do so.
Yes, I question the first 2. The IMF seems headed for an iceberg with the big loan to "Ukraine". Russia knows "who" the enemy is, globo-cap and BlackRock.
I expect Russia to deny that enemy "Ukraine" as an asset-class.
There are certain types of people who do what they want and say "god" told them to.
There are other people who believe them and do what they say.
Thanks for the link. I know Israel has been dangling an IMF loan in front of bankrupt Egypt since October, knowing they are desperate for grain to feed people.
This is why I loved Tucker Carlson's statement about the two kinds of people: There are the people who think they are god, and then there are the people who KNOW they are NOT. He chooses to only associate with the latter. And, please, don't bring up Trump; interviewing someone is not the same as association.
What an incredibly brave soul. How incredibly sad that the world is in such a state as to drive someone to take the ultimate drastic measure.
R.I.P Aaron Bushnell 🙏
Somehow I think that "sad" is not enough. But I cannot find a better word. Tragic?
Thanks for trying...
;-(
Agreed. Maybe the emotion is beyond the scope of words 😥
Utterly and devastatingly horrifying.
My conclusion is, Israel is the State of Satan and Bibi is its leader. Why are there still people in America and Canada who think what Israel is doing is okay, how on earth is it ok to starve innocent babies and adults. God sees all of this and Israel will pay the ultimate price.
Satan is hardly to be constrained to any borders, and these currents exist in my country and yours, wherever they may be.

Thank You, Sister. Now I want to make soup.

When you go through the narrow gate, you find incredible strength through compassion and empathy, which is what Aaron Brunfell found and experienced.
re Navalney: it was reported in many sources, mainstream and otherwise, that he has received multiple COVID "vaxes". Firstly in Germany where he was treated for loudly claimed novichok poisoning which he mysteriously survived, but turned out to be self-medicating overdoses of lithium and other drugs, not so widely reported but reported just the same.
Thanks for remembering that, Eleni. It is quite possible that Navalny got vaccine-clotted to death, and nobody planned for it.
Odd world... :-o
On the other hand Navalney was visited by his lawyer the day before and could have been passed something. IMHO "they" went too far by having his (previously unknown) wife appear at Munich perfectly coiffed and dressed within 20 hours of his death to deliver her speech.

It's a tough crowd to run with. I don't know how it all went down.

Regarding Australia's Vaxx figures - take them with a grain of salt...
Over the decades Australian official stats have increasingly been
manipulated...The practice became even more firmly established
during the 'covid' 'pandemic'...The stats have become unreliable,
they've been propagandised (weaponised)...
WE LIVE IN 1984...
(If barely 300,00 adults never submitted to The Jab, they'd have been
rounded up by now and held in each state's 'quarantine camps' until
they submitted: 'camps' built during the 'covid' 'pandemic'!)...
Whether it's Jab stats, wages stats, employment/unemployment stats,
migrant intake stats, you name the stats, they can not be trusted...
WE LIVE IN 1984 !!

This is an opportunity for politicians to take a meaningful stand, but the safe thing to do is to be silent. I'm watching and waiting.
Nobody is standing up for Palestinians yet, except Jill Stein MD, so I may vote for her again.
‘As a Jew,’ Green Party candidate Jill Stein accuses Israel of genocide
https://www.jns.org/as-a-jew-green-party-candidate-jill-stein-accuses-israel-of-genocide/
Israel seems intent on making the Palestinians a sacrifice to
their cruel God of the Desert, the God who silently ignored
the wandering Hebrews for 40 years...
And Egypt seems likely to receive 30 pieces of silver for its
betrayal of the Palestinian...
https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/egypt-sells-out-palestinians-for-10-billion-loan-package
I have read that. It is mostly speculation, presented as fact. The first 2 points are completely speculative in their conclusions:

I don't think so. Epstein had become an inconvenience and he was no longer needed. Maxwell obviously did a deal knowing she would be murdered if she didn't do so.
That is also possible, but I am not convinced that the corpse had Epstein's nose or Epstein's ear-whorls. The body was cremated pretty quickly.
To show all the remaining compromised players that Mission-Impossible could be done by the club would bolster allegiance to the club.
Yes, I question the first 2. The IMF seems headed for an iceberg with the big loan to "Ukraine". Russia knows "who" the enemy is, globo-cap and BlackRock.
I expect Russia to deny that enemy "Ukraine" as an asset-class.
Maybe I'll be disappointed. We'll see.
Agreed - that it's speculative...However, i wonder why Israel has
stated the IDF will engage with Raffa if the Israeli hostages aint
released by Ramadan...You dont tell the enemy your plans...(The
Pentagon had us all believe it was preparing a land invasion of Iraq -
while it put into place ready its plan to bomb the country back to
the Middle Ages from the air)...So what really is Israel's plan ?
We can only speculate...
I think any army has contingency plans, preferences, and throws lots of head-fakes.
I think a lot of diplomatic pressure is being applied privately this time around.
Netanyahu has to keep saying all the things he has been saying, but he does not need to do them, and he can be replaced...
There are certain types of people who do what they want and say "god" told them to.
There are other people who believe them and do what they say.
Thanks for the link. I know Israel has been dangling an IMF loan in front of bankrupt Egypt since October, knowing they are desperate for grain to feed people.
I'm thinking Israel will undoubtedly do everything to disperse the
Palestinians throughout the world...As Israelis might fear that after
40 years in the desert the Palestinians will become strong, and
impassioned by the desire to reclaim Palestine - egged on by the
cruel silent God of the Desert...
They mostly want them ejected from their ancestral land, and want to destroy their claims to right-of-return, largely carried through the UNRWA.
