  1. This is an incredible interview from a former Israeli soldier relating her experience. .
  2. The next day it's just a memory. Many of the spiritual teachers today took LSD in the 60s and turned to spiritual practices to find something that would be permanent.
  3. The missionary position still has its supporters
  4. Musk says the earth can handle more people, but he never presents evidence on why this is true. The earth could handle more people if everyone is poor, but not if everyone develops a first world lifestyle. Keep in mind that this Internet only works because thousands of steam engines are pumping out electricity. This Internet is completely dependent on 19th century technology. We aren’t as advanced as we think.
  5. You do have an inner desire for “God” which is actually a search for a connection with your self. Religions externalize it and make it out there calling it “God” in order to keep you from waking up to your power so you can be dominated and controlled in 3-D. Christianity and Judaism in particular are political systems and servants of darkness.
  6. Wonder Woman will tie you up with her lasso of truth - 1975.
  7. We are looking at a mirror. If the reflection is bad, is the original image any better? Is it better to ask, why did Argentina elect a radical as president, or what was wrong with Argentina in the first place? America is a declining empire with an entitled ruling class in a world of rapid change it can no longer control. You haven’t seen anything yet.
  8. Support the right to boycott for peace.
  9. They have already taken over. The politicians work for their big donors and not the American people. That is the underlying cause of the rise of Trump. People notice that it doesn't matter who they vote for, their issues are ignored. America is a plutocracy, not a democracy. The ruling class calls democracy populism. Robert Kennedy, Jr. is the only candidate that has been directly addressing this issue.
  10. "All too often, the question of Palestine is framed as an eternal conflict arising from ancient ethnic or religious hatreds, with questions regarding the origins of the state of Israel and the legitimacy of land claims reduced to matters of scriptural interpretation. Such views entirely omit the actual history of Palestine and the Zionist movement. The colonization of Palestine, a process still playing out before our eyes to this day, has definite historical origins at the turn of the 20th century, when Zionism was born and the encroachment of Palestinian land began. Historian Rashid Khalidi, author of The Hundreds' Year War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917- 2017, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a look into this essential history, and how it can help us frame Israel's present war on Gaza."
  11. Hamas published footage of the release of the israeli & thai hostages. The Hamas hosts and some of the hostages warmly embrace each other before parting.
  12. The Peace Groups are at Tier 2. “There Is an Alternative”: Meet the Israeli & Palestinian “Combatants for Peace” Urging Nonviolence https://www.democracynow.org/2023/11/27/combatants_for_peace_israel_palestine
  13. The main interview is with the guest Stanford Pass, who is from a Jewish Background, who describes the real history and current reality of Palestine. In the beginning of the video are excerpts from a Jewish Rabbi and from a Christian pastor describing Netanyahu.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. “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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
