One thing I have learned from the tons of social media posts on this subject here and elsewhere is the dedication to self interest and the willingness of either side to justify violence in order to preserve an image of righteousness. With this background, a man of true morality and consistent principles like Norman Finkelstein sticks out like a sore thumb and is very, very rare.

In America, debt is encouraged to stimulate the economy. You can buy a car with almost nothing down. The same applies to houses. The whole system is set up to encourage the use of credit cards. I worked in the Netherlands for several years. I was surprised when the apartment I rented didn’t have a floor – there was only concrete. I was told that was because the Dutch rent a place long term and fix it up the way they like. You just have to put it back to the same condition when you leave. I did have a credit card to use when I traveled to other countries in Europe, but only used the debit card in the Netherlands.

I don’t think it has anything to do with spirituality. Some people just have problems managing money, just like other people are alcoholics or drug addicts. I pursue spiritual transformation but I am financially independent and don’t have to work anymore.

Given how many idiots, fools, and conmen are using these powerful medicines, it’s amazing how few injuries there are. It’s a testament that these medicines really do want to heal and do their best not to do harm even when you abuse them. As for the Christian programming, it goes very deep. I was raised Christian but moved on ages ago. But in a San Pedro ceremony, I had a terrifying 16 hour journey that took me deep into my unconscious mind and threw it all in my face, showing me it was still there.

“I Will Not Be Silenced”: Rep. Rashida Tlaib Calls for Gaza Ceasefire as House Votes to Censure Her” This is a video of her emotional speech. https://www.democracynow.org/2023/11/8/house_censures_rashida_tlaib_on_israel “On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to censure Democratic Congressmember Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, for her criticism of Israel. The vote was 234 to 188, with 22 Democrats joining Republicans to censure Tlaib.” She was censored for just asking for a ceasefire. So much for free speech. This shows us the central problem. Congress is owned by the Israeli lobby and they get a blank check. There is no check on Israel’s power and they are allowed to do terrible things and any criticism is censored.

Netanyahu’s son is in the US to avoid Israel military duty. His corrupt father gets billions from the American tax payer by peddling violence and fear. That should tell you everything you need to know about how the system works. It works for the few but not for the many. https://www.the-express.com/news/us-news/117250/benjamin-netanyahu-son-yair-israel-war-florida

This is an interesting video from a Muslim man who advocates using a boycott to support a Palestinian state. This makes a lot of sense. There are 2 billion Muslims in the world and they have a huge reserve of oil money. Why can’t they use peaceful means like boycotts, strikes, etc. to effect change? One problem with violence is that it just makes the world more dumb. Nobody learns anything. A peaceful boycott would take billions of people getting involved and using their power to take moral actions. Each one of us actually has economic power – we are given the freedom to choose which product we are going to buy. We can drive any corporation out of business by our own choice even if the government and corrupt politicians support the corporation. If Islam is a religion of peace, they can use that spiritual power to organize massive numbers of people to take moral actions and elevate humanity. Everyone will become more intelligent and it will create communities and human connection. A boycott worked on South Africa. We have to all take responsibility and start organizing and changing the world with peaceful but powerful methods. The continued used of violence will result in the eventual destruction of humanity.

One could see this one coming a mile away. The FBI directory warns of a terror threat. But the same administration is encouraging anyone to come across the southern border of the United States. This is a good pretext to impose more authoritarianism into the US and further restrict the rights of American citizens. As I mentioned before, to figure out what is going on you have to go to the metalevel. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-director-wray-warns-terror-threat-americans-whole-other-level-after-hamas-israel-attack

Pro-Israel Propaganda - Lies vs. Reality https://www.unz.com/runz/pro-israel-propaganda-lies-vs-reality/

John Mearsheimer speaks on Israel-Gaza https://rumble.com/v3snss5-sustem-update-show-173.html

Here is an interesting article. It claims that the leader of Hamas lives in a Jewish neighborhood in the United Kingdom. https://www.foxnews.com/world/hamas-terror-chief-exposed-living-london-public-housing-project-funded-uk-taxpayers-report This shows you that if you are stuck in any of the good guy/bad guy narratives, you are surely being played by the propagandists who construct these narratives to install opinions in you. To find the real truth you have to bump up a metalevel, and trace the flow of money to find the footprints of the global financial controllers. Is it even possible to find the truth? It’s interesting that younger Americans aren’t completely buying the pro Israel narratives like their parents. This is likely do to the Internet which has broken the monopoly of the corporate media and allowing other point of view. It makes sense the the government combined with big Tech are now trying to censor the Internet in an attempt to regain control of information. https://www.reuters.com/world/fearful-grieving-gen-z-americans-clash-over-israel-conflict-2023-10-18/#:~:text=Younger Americans are much less,40 and up believe so.

The root of the problem is colonialism, which has always been intertwined with racism. You may still recall all of those old Western movies where savage Indians were attacking the American settlers. The Calvary where the good guys in blue who would arrive just in time to kill the savage Indians. The movie never told you that the reason the Indians were attacking the settlers was because their land was being stolen and they were being dispossessed as a people. It was a movie and only showed us what the propagandists wanted us to see. Colonialism never changes. It has always been nasty and brutal. Today, the savage Indians are called “Hamas”. They must now be eliminated by the “good guys” who at the present counting have killed over 8000 Palestinians with indiscriminate bombing. But the movie script doesn’t allow any sympathy for their lives. They are merely extras, not full members of SAG. The script writers have already written in that they deserve it. That’s where the racism comes in. There is no sympathy, only cheers from the audience, when the movie Indian gets shot off his horse. They are inferior to the “civilized”, i.e., those who look like us. https://www.democracynow.org/2023/10/27/tamara_alrifai_unrwa_gaza

She is a human rights activists. I posted this because she is an example of someone who despite being in the middle of the storm is able to rise above the us vs. them narratives. This is at another level.

"Democracy Now" is an excellent source of accurate information on Israel & Palestine.

The Gnostic Christians believed that the god of the Old Testament, Yawheh, is the demiurge, a lesser diety responsible for creating the physical world and who is ignorant, arrogant, and malevolent. But there is a transcendent God, the Monad, or the Father, which is perfect. Here is a collection of Gnostic Chants and Meditations https://youtu.be/rONT3tynpeM?si=Xc1rvQtXTacK1Ec4

In an interview with George Galloway, Scott Ritter gives his analysis of the possible invasion of Gaza, the serious complexities involved, and why success is unlikely. You aren’t hearing this on the Western media. Scott Ritter was formerly a United States Marine Corps Intelligence Officer and UNSCOM weapons inspector. Let’s pray that the adults enter the room and deescalate this crisis. https://youtu.be/8Ti1dKRz53k?si=JdG-UHm8DmDXRh7v

In principle, the solution to this conflict is easy. Treat the palestinians like equal human beings, respect their rights, and stop stealing their land. You could even have a one state solution, which would be majority palestinian. There would be no war and everyone could work together for a prosperous future. They are doing it in South Africa. But, the reality is you have corrupt politicians and elites who will cling to their power, even if it destroys the world. Netanyahu was charged with fraud, breach of trust, and bribery. You also have the corrupt Western elites determined to cling to power as they see the rise of the global south.

The Duran Report goes way deeper than the propaganda you get on the mainstream Western media. If you want to be told what to believe, stick to the legacy media. He talks about the russian propaganda allegation here.

The Duran analyzes the recent Biden speech as well as his disasterous diplomacy in the Middle East.
