I can barely read your compilation of horror stories from Gaza.
Recently a book I had ordered arrived: The Israel Lobby. I have read maybe 3 pages so far, and those in the middle. The lobby apparently controls American actions towards Israel, to hell with what the American voters may want. America seems distracted by its goals for global dominance; maybe Russia will save us. Oh the delicious irony.
I am sorry. Thank you for not hiding from what is happening. My heart goes out to those suffering, and also to those who seem to be consumed by demons.

Yes, there's a multi-step corruption where the Israel lobby bribes and blackmails American politicians and media, and American politicians send money to Israel. The CIA and Mossad are inseparable, and various criminal enterprises are part of the big family, too.
There are no checks and balances on this monster.
Watch it escalate until it gets stopped by something.
While I don't doubt that Seymour Hershs sources are telling him of these general to general 'negotiations' their premise is entirely flawed. Gerasimov can't negotiate a ceasefire or peace in Ukraine. Full stop. This is more US interlocutors speaking plans among themselves, convincing themselves that they can negotiate favourable terms with the Russians after their catastrophic defeat. Russia isn't interested in negotiations with Ukraine. Ukraine is a sock puppet. Russian terms have already been spelt out in the draft treaty terms prior to the SMO. Washington needs to come to the table and accept those terms in full. Russia will dictate what happens to Ukraine. Rump Ukraine won't be frozen to be pumped with weapons for a go around.
These might better be described as high-level-talks or something. If you read the Doctorow article, he says much of what you just said about who gets instructions and who makes decisions. I always take out snippets, because I read way too much, and it's still a lot after I cone it all down.
Putin would probably like to have another entity be "responsible" for Galicia-and-environs, but with written assurances of no-troops and no-weapons-systems from NATO in "Ukraine". Putin is a master bureaucrat. I'm interested to see what the deal ends up looking like. I think the Russians do want "the west" to save-face. "Letting Ukraine join NATO" with no NATO forces in Ukraine is sort of a master-stroke of propaganda, in a way, and NATO would have to partly support their "child". I see a lot bad with it, too, like dumping chemicals on farmland, GMO, Roundup, vast-criminality, etc. Russia would get to look the other way, though...
Yes indeed. There is a lot behind the curtain and Russia will want to ensure the idiots are not so forced into a corner that they they must go "full retard". The loss must be visible but not catastrophic.
Why after all this deadly intent toward Russia has emerged with the redrawing of the world energy, transportation and power map in Ben Gurion - this slaughtering intent which has been so long in the works and focuses on the dismantling of the Russian confederation together with its isolation from chattel EU as primary strategic goals — why would Russia take an easy way with the proxy war and allow resupply and rebound? Hard to see…
MClark asked: "This slaughtering intent which has been so long in the works and focuses on the dismantling of the Russian confederation together with its isolation from chattel EU as primary strategic goals — why would Russia take an easy way with the proxy war and allow resupply and rebound?"
Time is on Russia's side. Russia's defensive strategy has always been to let enemies over-extend, past what they could sustain, then grind them away as they are undersupplied and over-extended, as the empire is now. Russia does not want to hurry, because it costs more Russians to hurry.
The main factor in Russian victory always seems to be denying the conquering army the Russian resources that it has counted on to survive and then profit. Russia is doing that. Global-neoliberalism is over-extended in unpayable debt and needs to consume Russia for profit. I see that Russia is denying that prize.
Thank you for that historically grounded and insightful reasoning Dr John. I listen. I do wonder if the current death cult on the scene doesn’t shake up the predictive model, especially given the supersized weapons in biology that these crazies are deploying. Maybe the Nuke card makes the Russians feel like the situation is stable enough to proceed as usual. Idk but you make sense. Thanks!
Thank you for the perspective and from a satellite view too Mr Reante. So I saw recently that Mr Putin has said he is fighting for Russia but also the world. I understand he has a bloody hx — although relative to what? — I tend to believe he has said something that is true in his speech about protecting people’s ability to live as persons in nations and not zombies in a global wasteland (my phrasing). The elites seem like zombies too. Tolkien’s prophetic work has a degree of specificity and he shows the effect of the ring in emptying (derealizing) all actors out. His work sending Strider to the cave of the dead kings to collect their debt was and is of extreme importance. The ghost dance is fundamental ritual enactment. Love to hear your dark matter interpretation on the Silmarillionand visit to the old dead kings some time.
And oh yes - so much to read! It's overwhelming at times. I haven't written anything for ages now as things move so quickly but I think so slowly. :) We ARE living in interesting times!
Christian Zionists are not representative of all Evangelical churches or certainly Christians. Christians have been targets in Gaza and eventually that will be know and with communication from the Orthodox Christians who follow this stuff. This is way bigger than Christian Zionism although they have been trotted in for cover. The life of Jesus has absolutely nothing to do with the slaughter of innocents. People can think that the Jewish people needs a home and that the land is holy but have absolutely no understanding of how perverse an end this simple idea can be made to serve in the hands of the demon possessed.
Yes NewsMax went full out with guests espousing that to even question the prepared narrative was the equivalent of the t-word (I don’t even like to say the word since it such an abusive and Ill used term. I believe your observation captures epidemiology of low information and fervent too. Evangelicals are not monolithic and have doctrinal differences. I think your observation of self interest to gain the promise of blessing Israel to be blessed is a sad and true commentary. But no nation is blessed by falsehood, greed, and the slaughter of innocents. The Orthodox and non-Z Jews are completely horrified by these events and so are informed Christians (eg Chris Hedges unless he changed).
Welcome to War World. No limit murder meets the death of human beings and the putative Christian West is delighted with this decision to cry havoc upon all mankind using Israel as the inspiration
The position of Gabriel Marcel-"Marcel's position," is that for any given individual, regardless of their belief, the death of God presents an unavoidable moral obstacle that must be wrestled with in order for freedom (and then, moral responsibility and virtue) to be able to take hold. The obstacle of the death of God is not something that can be overcome; it is an existential dilemma that can only be struggled over and grappled with until, ultimately, one's life is defined by it."
Your meaning is obscure to me. If we look at a "God of Love", we see that not all of the depictions of "God" in the Torah are that, by any means. There was Moloch, to whom people had to sacrifice their firstborn as a burnt-offering. Moloch's still around, but covertly, it is rumored.
I like that "God is Love". That really does it for me, and there is as much depth in there as you would like to explore.
All that other stuff always seems like con-jobs to me, getting people to believe and sacrifice their stuff, and sometimes their lives and souls.
Yes the NT was that change. My meaning made obscure. YHWH is copper age thought or early Bronze Age. Greek New Testament thought is Iron Age. Love is the cornerstone. And this is why Berdyaev argued only Christianity can save humanity from the failure of Christianity. And that the failure is Christianity is much too worldly.
There is only the original Christianity, which is Love in Action (St.John). Every step away from this has been anti-Christisn until you end up with the abortion of so called Christian Zionism, a horrible fairy tale, run by Israelis.
The latest Israeli propaganda being reported is that Hamas militants raped some young ladies on Oct 7th. Despite, there being no actual evidence that happened, there was an eyewitness claim that it did, similar to the debunked eyewitness claim that 40 babies were beheaded. It is sad how many people will believe any story that shines Palestinians in a negative light. Reminds me of how many people will believe any story that shines Russia in a negative light, not matter how little evidence is provided to support the story. I get the impression that this accusation of Hamas raping young ladies on Oct 7th is just another piece of propaganda used to justify Israel's bombing and killing of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and kids in Gaza.
Without Russia, Hitler would have won. Without tens of thousands of Russian men knowingly going into death in Chernobyl, the human world might well have ended.

Pray.
Why is nobody calling the slaughter of Palestinians
by Israel The US proxy war against Palestinians ?
US is supplying the bombs, again (even though
'on condition' Israel wont use them !!)

Seems the slaughter of Palestinians has to continue because US
President Biden will lose the votes of the Christian Zionists if he
tells Israel to stop the slaughter...
The Banality of Evil, in deed...
I think it goes broader, deeper and more sinister than that.

"In the last days will come many false teachers, leading astray those that know not God."
;-(
Yeah, but those outwardly-devout "know not God". ;-(
"No man is justified by the law", so no amount of ritual observance makes up for ditching the Golden Rule.
2 "commandments":
Love God
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Things are happening at such a pace that people may come around again. If you send Hedges and dad rejects them, at least you’re talking. 💜

Individual relationship with God is what is necessary, and words can't really convey such a "gnosis".
I’m not sure given the prevalence of OT thought. The NT is evidently not the gospel beloved but old Nobodaddy and his cooper age wrath.
