The Massacres that provided justifications reducing Gaza to rubble that's now taking place are now shrouded in fog...One can no longer find out "What Really Happened ?" and "Who Did What ?"

There's a current generally held presumption that Israel intends a massive land invasion of Gaza...

PRESUMPTION !!! (Another shared presumption is that the Hamas fighters are seemingly super-human: They'll weather the destructive aerial bombardments and fight on Heroically!)...

All Israel has to do, and is doing, is pulverise the Hostiles territory from the air...

Israel hasnt got cold feet about invading Gaza because it fears such will trigger Hezbollah attacking from the north...Hezbollah, and others, have imposed conditions on their responses - conditions to restrain themselves while Israel pummels the Gazan into submission...

(justifiable (?) restraints knowing the US is just itching to get directly involved)...

Israel is exploiting Hezbollah's self-imposed restrictive conditions...

Lots going on. Restraint might lead to further restraint. Moment by moment in all of this...

The explosion on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza is a signal to all Hamas and sympathisers terrorists, for us they are terrorist but in the Middle East and Arab world they call them “Freedom Fighters”even liberators, to blow up innocent civilians, cars, airplane, airports, music festivals, ceremonies, funerals, sports events, football and basketball stadiums, churches, mosques and synagogues everywhere in Europe but also in the US. Hamas has already infiltrated the U.S. through the Mexican border for several years. So what started as a local fire making life impossible or extinct in Gaza, will spread to Israel as well and the augmented securities to make life possible and most of all enjoyable will be history. Continuing Europe will have to pay for their one sided position in this conflict as well as the US. Sure nobody thought deeper before starting this mess. Before I never understood the word Eschatological NOW I learned.

John - one of the saddest things in modern humans is that they equate food with superficial looks, rather than the density of nutrients packed within.

It's like idolising a Milan model bimbo, with a brain the size of a pea and a soul as heartless as Pfizer's; rather than a wholesome slightly imperfectly shaped woman, full of humour, love and generosity, whose wisdom and serenity grows with age.

I'm currently eating slightly forked carrots, beetroots with slight skin imperfections and radicchios which need a few outer leaves peeling off.

I'm feeling as fit as a fiddle as a result.....

When one grows one's vegetables there is more symbiosis.

I also enjoy really-being-married for so long now, which one understands in the fullness of time.

Stony eyed antiquity. Emotionless. Obedient to the decision of the People. He obliges by fact brutally believed.

Jonathan Cook, long time writer on Middle East affairs, in his reports of the current stage of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, neatly repeats the trope "the Hamas slaughter of Israelis"...

"Slaughter" instead of "killing of" - the former imputes 'mindless, murderous, wild-animalistic, rampage.'

However, the inconsistency is that Palestinians always just "die" somehow, without an actor involved, or motive, etc.

Palestine is widely recognized as a state, but it is militarily occupied, of course.

A lot remains to be put in order, but first ... more CHAOS.

Dr. John your Siamese-twin cucumber has also some family where I live, it’s a Siamese-twin coconut but with a small protrusion in the middle...it’s a symbol for the female V.

Please watch Roseanne Barr podcast w Ami Horowitz. It clears up all misconceptions and explains things perfectly. Everyone needs to wake up.

Zionism is Satanic thus the planned genocide of the Palestinians. Christianity is totally absent from Israel’s actions against the Palestinian people.

Hey John is TAE down for you? I’m iced out all three search engines.

Expand full comment

Yes, TAE is still down for me this morning in Texas, too.

I sent Ilargi an email last night and his reply is that he does not know why and is waiting for Danny to wake up and investigate.

Expand full comment

I as well.

Ilargi replied about 9AM Texas time that Danny has not yet been reached to troubleshoot the problem

Expand full comment

Dan is on-the-job at 9:50 AM Texas time. He's contacting "help".

TAE is back up, but apparently just in smartphone format so far, and just up to yesterday 10/19/23.
