Perhaps the times we are living through: the 'Covid 'pandemic'', hormone and puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery for minors, climate alarmism, and more and more hot wars, will be described in history as The Age of Madness.
Remember, the people that are bringing you the Israel vs the entire ME war are the same ones who brought you covid, Russia/Russia/Russia!, China/China/China!, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan. So consider where/how your viewpoints have developed and why you believe them now.
The lust for war by western countries, that bomb other countries, killing civilians and bringing death and destruction is a stain on our culture.
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.” We need to think about what's really going on over there, and who are the actual assholes.
Whenever things like this escalate, I always ask myself: "What is this meant to distract from?" In Canada, we have a horrific Bill that will threaten privacy about to be passed. Now's the time to concentrate on defeating it by educating our neighbours...
I must completely and respectfully, disagree with your assessment of the situation, Trish. Israel striking and destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities is definitely the right thing to do. I think we shouldn’t underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is a parish state in the Middle East. It is a theocracy with a gender Apartheid that is the number one funder of terrorism on Earth. If they had managed to develop a nuclear weapon that would’ve been a threat not only to Israel but also the United States, the West, the Gulf States, the Kurds, and all life on Earth. Just as they did with Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007, Israel took action to stop an evil regime from acquiring to create a weapon that could annihilate the planet. Plus, what if they had given those weapons or the material needed to make them to their Islamist proxies?
I ultimately don’t believe there will be a war between Israel and Iran and a peace deal will be negotiated. This is because all actors in the region and the United States know that a full on war between the two regional powers would lead to bloodshed and destruction for everybody and would help nothing or gain nothing for anybody. Plus, Israel is already fighting a multiple front war with numerous terrorist groups. As to the Gulf States, I must disagree with your interpretation of them putting out that statement. That statement was all just for show.
In truth, the Gulf States are just as afraid of Iran as Israel is. Remember the long time rivalry for instance that Saudi Arabia has had with Iran. Only very recently did they normalize relations and even then a great deal of tension remains. The Gulf States are glad about what Israel did and are in awe of them. At the end of the day, the United States and the West could’ve struck Iran’s nuclear facilities easily years ago but they didn’t. This the threat of a mushroom cloud continued to loom large over the Middle East.
Diplomacy was tried and utterly failed. Barack Obama and John Kerry negotiated the Iran Nuclear Deal with the regime and it didn’t achieve anything. Iran went right on with their quest to develop a nuclear weapon. As far as the reports of Iranian civilians being killed in Israeli strikes, these numbers are produced by the Ayatollahs and can’t be verified. I would take anything that regime says with a huge grain of salt just as I would the Hamas run Gaza Health Ministry.
Lenin, who wrote scores of books that are not read by anyone, claimed that 'quantity' somehow may, in the end become, 'quality.' Your posts are further proof that he was wrong.
Wow, you are well read from the main media. Bravo.
If your ass was parked beside a nuclear facility and you were wiped out it would be okay to me too. A life is a life. Yours is no better than someone living in the vicinity of iran, or Israel. Still shaking my head.
You mentioned "back channel diplomacy" going on. While there may be talks happening, they are not "diplomacy". The USA and especially Trump do not "do" diplomacy. They do "deals", made via threats, strong arming & bullying. Their track record is littered with the detritus of USA "diplomacy". The world is the closest it has ever been to the precipice of WWIII. When diplomacy is needed the most, there are no diplomats in sight.
Great post, well said / written, the only negative is the Bill Ackman comment, let’s go blow their asses up and finish the job, the US / ISRAEL tag team for destabilization of the Middle East is scary to say the least, it all goes back Davos Switzerland and the BIS aka Bank of International Settlements, is the puppet masters with all their money and power to control world events toward their not so hidden agenda anymore a Communist NWO, it is not complicated but it is, “who controls the money controls world “ guess who controls the all of the money thru their worldwide central banking system, BIS, money is the root of all evil, God Bless the World and Humanity.
I hope Iran isn't stupid enough to directly strike US assets in the middle east. It would be giving Israel exactly what it wants, and would put the eye of Sauron directly on Tehran.
I think the more likely scenario is for Iranian terrorist proxies will strike American targets around the world, including on the US mainland. Plausible deniability through indirect funding and offshore training.
Hey, what about all that US military adjecent farmland China has been buying up? After all those drones got launched from trucks in Russia, it seems like launching really big drones out of barns isn't outside the realm of possibility.
The Parade was disgusting and pathetic at the same time.
That was to be expected of a nation which has not won a single war in it's entire 250 year existence, though it has started and funded hundreds of them. It did not even manage to win the war against itself - the Civil War - which was never resolved.
Agreed. Nothing like parading killing machines & people around for “your people”🤢. And: Distraction is the goal of propaganda. Full stop. What were our elite good buddies cooking up while that shit show of a parade was going on? I am not paranoid, I just love to pattern hunt. Buckle up is my advice😉
I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the air show in Yuma March of 2025. First time in my life I have seen or felt any sort of pride or patriotism. First time I have been in the company of so many people either enjoying the show or a part of the show that are so kind, respectful, helpful, smiling and happy. Yup I’m Canadian.
Not in disagreement. I agree. But I have found people are quick, to point, anger if you differ, think diff. I trust no one. And in that rhelm it was glorious to spend a day with like minded perps. The army navy air force and marines really put on a show. If that is what is taught. Discipline politeness respect gratitude and joy for their jobs ( more important than any job defending a country. Willing to die for it!!). It was a wow to me. Canadians that disagreed were fringe. Beaten jailed and done still jailed. There is so much more for why I feel like I do …. But thank you for sharing. You are not alone. There are many of us.
😉 I used to think the same.. as in the whole good vibes thing re: patriotism. My opinion has changed significantly since 2020. I am Canadian too btw. I got sucked into the whole “Truther” Movement… only to find lots of fraudsters. Suffice to say, happy for your experience… I just don’t have a lot of patience or faith in humanity at the moment. I want to… I really do. Thing is: when it’s tough sledding, I know 💯 no one & I mean no one, is coming to save us. So… parade all you want… I am too busy trying to build community & help out my neighbour. We need to love who is front of us- that’s a full time job worth taking on. My absolute best to you🤍🌻
The Gulf States are cowed Quislings of Americo-Judaism. They act like the people of the USSR did following the massive repressions by similar types between 1917 and 1937. Whether anything is left when their oppressors wear themselves out with hate and unearned power remains to be seen.
I think they shall rise again as the Russian civilizational state did.
It is odd how quickly the context that brought the Mullahs (whether you like them or not) to power in the first place is forgotten - the interference by the Anglo-Zionist, colonizing and rapacious empire
Agree. One of the unfortunate facts of history is that it takes fanatics to get rid of a totalitarian government. There are very few instances of peaceful demonstrations removing oppressors, mostly because the oppressors simply kill anyone who is a real threat. (I know that peace activists would disagree with me)
Unfortunately, the Mullahs were the only ones who could get rid of the Shaw. The other unfortunate thing is that left alone, history shows most societies trend towards moderation over time, while societies under threat rally around the flag.
The Anglo-Zionist empire cannot help it self. It needs to interfere with other societies. They cannot imagine doing anything else.
Several commentators have indicated that Bibi and the Israeli cabinet are have left Israel and are hiding on some Island.
I don't know if this is true or not, but it it is, it says a lot about the Israeli Leadership that they would leave their people to face Iranian retaliation on their own. They do not think that they should be accountable for their actions, but be bailed out by the Americans. Wow, start WWIII and then leave it to everyone else to clean up the mess.
Israel Leadership is an oxymoron - in my opinion. Lifetime of observed factual behaviour I can report on. Hmmm… come to think of it, insert any “corporation” - countries don’t exist, & then put Leadership, I would argue that oxymoron is true for all of them💯
It’s definitely a bottom up revolution - as in, the parasites gotta go.
Insane. You’d think a people that suffered the Holocaust would not suffer a psychopathic leader. And I can’t believe the war mongering. Course it’s much easier when it’s half way around the world and not in your own backyard. Good interview Trish. Wonder what Jeffrey Sachs has to say about it all today. I was listening to his interview with Tucker from several days ago and at one point he said he didn’t think Israel would attack Iran…
Recently heard him rattling on about how climate change is our biggest enemy. Captured and paid shill. Too bad he was someone I listened to. But then I read and bought Peter Wigan books too until he went off the deep end.
I don’t consider bringing up the Holocaust a “low blow” because it should teach us all that we cannot support genocide of any people and having been the victims once should not excuse the current bad behaviour. And anyone willing to support Hamas and then blow the shite out of Gaza is a psychopath.
You as well, Irene. I understand where your coming from. The people of Gaza no matter where you stand on this issue, deserves every westerners support and sympathy.
Agreed, sadly most people can’t get past “Putin Evil” and consider the effects of the neocon sponsored overthrow of Ukraine’s elected leader in 2014(?)
With no disrespect at all intended to you personally, Irene but I respectfully but completely disagree with this statement. Bringing up the Holocaust is in my view, insulting and a low blow. Bibi is a slippery politician, a failed leader in every way and needs to go to be sure. But he is not psychopathic. War mongering? I understand that point of view but that is not what Israel is doing.
Israel did a great thing for the whole world by destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities just as they to Iraq’s in 1981 or Syria’s in 2007. Iran could not be allowed to have a bomb and would not have hesitated to use it on Israel, Saudi Arabia or the Kurds and if they had the capacity to do so, the United States and the West. Warmongering? Again, I must respectfully disagree. Israel is defending itself from terrorist groups who wish to wipe it off the face of the Earth.
Yes, Israel is a wealthy, regional power with the best army in the Middle East and nuclear weapons. But this doesn’t change the fact that Israel is a tiny nation the size of New Jersey surrounded by dozens of hostile nations and terrorist groups that wish to destroy it. Iran made their intentions clear they wanted to do just that. Let’s not ignore as well that Iran is a theocracy that has a gender apartheid, that has destroyed Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, and Lebanon with their poisonous influence and are the number one supporters of terrorism in the world.
It's hard to say how and what they "suffered" as the "Holocaust" was never all it was cracked up to be. It is largely a Hollywood affair. In fact some of the documentary evidence for it was flimed by a young-ish (hard to imagine, I know) Alfred Hitchcock.
Certainly most of the tribe seems rather short on empathy and self-reflection and rich with hate and brutal self-interest.
Etymologically, 'Holocaust' comes from the GK and means 'a whole burnt offering to God or gods".
Perhaps they did not look up the meaning when they chose it to describe their tribal narrative.
refreshingly critical article regarding nazism and, indeed, the holo*aust by L. Guyénot: "....What we may call the “Churchillian history” of WWII (since Churchill was making it and writing it at the same time), is the mother of all the subsequent lies of our Western counterfeit history, up to 9/11...." - https://www.unz.com/article/are-we-denazified-now/
Thanks for backing that up, so well. I guess I just assume it is common knowledge, so I do not cite sources. It is great when they are there. Churchill was one of the first to substitute what used to be called ‘truth’ with ‘narrative’.
He discredited Autobiography for all time, though no one took it all that seriously from the start.
Canada now has his spiritual progeny in Ottawa, Dr Meat is a Liar and the father of a thousand little bastard lies. So sad about Carney playing Herod, Pilate and Caiaphas and sending Christ-figures to be sacrificed in the prison system.
There was a very alarming Father’s Day Letter from Tamara today.
How this will all end I do not know but such evil perfidy delenda est.
'Churchill's narrative', brilliant! tasking Hollywood with filming the camps of course also served to create a narrative. and then there's the magick number of "6 million J*ws": yet another narrative, one that goes back to at least 1915 - https://archive.org/details/old-newspapers-report-six-million-jews-1915-1938
you're right, Canada's a mess, and so, unfortunately, is the EU. nice to've met you, FK, be well
You are right, there were others. I think perhaps the Korda brothers got a start there too. Propaganda pays well I guess and gives one a boost in the trade so one can be comfortable in one’s dotage and dream of past glories. One might even score an OBE or an Order of Canada piece of cheap metal.
I’ve heard that… haven’t looked into it enough but makes one wonder. So much of “history” is really propaganda it’s hard to not be skeptical of everything given how we’ve seen how the media lies especially the last 5 years
For a while, History belongs to the Victors (because they get to write it). They are usually total liars as they have so much to hide.
In time the truth always comes out because as Christ said: “Nothing is hidden that shall not be revealed. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find.
yet the present 'victors' also play mean, using very effectively their power(s) to suppress exposure of the answers to our questions. Churchill is still portrayed in schools everywhere as a hero, yet nationalist leaders trying to de-colonise their country labelled communist (followed by a 'mostly peaceful' military take over, after which they'll eventually get assassinated). so many questions, while serious research gagged and silenced.
You can't trust the genocidal triad of Isreal-USA-UK. The gulf states need to set a red line now rather than turn a blind eye to the genocidal monsters. They're born mass murderers and negotiations are not going to stop that.
I 100% disagree, Dillion. The United States, the UK and Israel have committed no genocide. Insulting and generalizing three whole countries and all its people and calling us all baby killers and mass murderers is disgusting and does nothing to help the people of Gaza. I see no arguments in this comment only petty insults, blind hatred for three nations of millions of people and no constructive solutions to any of the big problems in the region.
Though I enjoyed your interview with Lawrence a couple days ago, I don’t agree with him that it’s us, the USA, using Israel to dominate the Middle East. From this American’s perspective, our whole country has been taken over by Israel and there are many dual citizens in our Congress. They’ve passed resolutions and states have passed multiple laws making criticism or boycotts of Israel against the law. To many of us, it’s become The United States of Israel and we want this stopped. Hosting that psychopath Netanyahu in our Congress and having nearly ALL of them stand and clap for that demonic bastard, is just too much!! Every President goes to Israel and kisses that ***** wall and most of us are sick to death of it. To all Jewish peace activists and to all of the rest of us who agree with you, thank you and let’s keep speaking out against this truly evil regime.
I couldn’t disagree with you more, Mel. Our country has not been taken over by Israel, that’s a ridiculous statement. China manufactures most of our products, are we owned by them? We buy 60% of our oil from Canada, are we owned by them? The U.S. is also loyal allies to Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, the Asian Tigers, and Saudi Arabia. Do they own us too? Congress’s anti-BDS resolutions and states passing anti-BDS laws is wrong to be sure. But not all Zionists or Pro-Israel folks agree with it. I know many who don’t. I am a Zionist and I totally oppose anti-BDS laws. They are blatant violations of the first amendment.
Dual citizens? Calling our elected officials traitors because they support Israel is total nonsense and an ad hominem. The United States of Israel? That is going way over the top and a great exaggeration. I don’t like Bibi either and I hope after the war he and his government will either be forced to resign by public pressure or be voted out of office in the next election. But I wouldn’t go as far as calling him a “demonic b******!” That would be more apply applied to the late Ismail Haniyeh and Yayha Sinwar who did October 7th. How soon the atrocities of that day are forgotten. This is not to ignore the great suffering of the people of Gaza. But their suffering is the fault of Hamas not Israel.
That d*** wall? That wall that you talk about in such a derogatory way is the Walling Wall, which was the only place the Jews were allowed to pray in ancient times by the Romans to weep for the destruction of the Second Temple. It’s one of the holiest sites in Judaism. Our Presidents should go there and treat it with great reverence and respect. The efforts of Jewish peace activists are understandable and commendable, but it is misguided as peace can’t be achieved I’m sorry to say. Israel has negotiated for a long time now with Hamas and they refuse to be good faith actors.
They were always changing the terms and then when there was a ceasefire agreed upon they disgustingly paraded around the bodies of the Bibas family and Oded Liftshitz and then stopped releasing hostages altogether. I couldn’t agree more Netanyahu is a terrible leader for Israel and a scheming politician. But he and Israel have some all they can to try and rescue the hostages. Hamas has played games from the beginning. I mean disrespect with this comment and I have nothing at all personally against you, Mel. But I must totally disagree with your statement.
You must believe there remains any sympathy for the Zionist project. The Zionist project is no longer veiled as it has been for hundreds of decades. The Goyim have been tolerant to a fault.
Your tribes top down Fascist control of the Hebrew people is something one can only summarize as despicable.
You gloss over the obvious influence Zionists have brought to their evil pass in the United States. Cleverly ZIONISTS work both sides of ideological isle. Jewish money pours into negatively influencing all ideological points of the compass.
The ZIONIST PROJECT is one of the most evil works of mind control ever conceived. Your comment is larded with Jewish equivocation. You completely ignore the history of events on the ground in Palestine that you are no doubt well aware undermines the legitimacy of your claims.
Your Zionist project includes the tactic of ignoring the legitimate claims of the Palestinians to their homeland entitlements. The ZIONIST project includes claims to legitimacy which are patently inapplicable if they practiced universally.
“God’s chosen people” begs the question. Whose God?
Your Zionist antecedents began harassing the Palestinians’ the moment the ink on the Balfour Declaration was dry. One hundred and twenty eight years of never ceasing animosity toward the Palestinians’ is glossed over as though it is something which never existed.
The Zionist project has been exposed once and forever.
I was playing along until you started blaming Haniyeh and Jahya and absolving Mileikovsky/Satanyahu. I am certain it just went downhill from there.
As General Khludov said before hanging a soldier who pretended to tell the whole truth rather too passionately, then faltered: "You started well but ended badly. (To guard) Take him out and hang him."
I stopped reading at “buy 60% of our oil from Canada. Because you make 10X the money selling it compared to the cost from Canada. Jesus?? What the hell.
Are you American or Israeli. Where do your loyalties ‘lie’.
No I is in hiding because if shit goes down he will be the first to be hung in the street. Nearest tree
“But peace can’t be achieved, I’m sorry to say” you said. That right there, is the crux of the problem with folks who think like you do. I have Jewish blood. Many of us likely do. And MY heroes are Max Blumenthal, Aaron and Gabor Mate’, Medea Benjamin, Glenn Greenwald, Norman Finkelstein, Keaton Weiss, Russell Dobular, and so many more truly good-hearted non-Zionist Jews. Remember, if you go in to colonize a people, take their land, kill them, lock them up, give them a starvation diet, not let them move freely back and forth, etc, you make a population that hates you. And Bibi funded Hamas for his own diabolical purposes. Peace CAN be achieved. But not with attitudes like too many Israelis have.
I understand what your saying, Mel. Indeed, you are just as legitimate a member of the Jewish community as any Zionist Jew is. A significant minority of Jews are to be sure, anti-Zionist and I respect their opinion and their feelings. All the commentators or activists you mentioned are not trustworthy or good-faith actors or they are completely misinformed. Norman Finkelstein for instance, has declared solidarity with Hezbollah and states that if Israel targets civilians (which they don’t and what would even be the purpose of that?) than Hezbollah has the right to target Israeli civilians.
Aaron Mate denied that any women were raped on October 7th when there is a great deal of evidence to the contrary. Max Blumenthal has always had a very one-sided view of the conflict, his book Goliath was full of errors and things written deceptively on purpose and he ran a whole segment on the ironically named Real News Network, claiming the crimes of October 7th were exaggerated by Israel and Hamas isn’t all that bad. Not to mention, you almost never hear him criticize the extremists in the Palestinian Territories.
Gabor Mate downplayed October 7th and showed no sympathy for the victims. Stating “a thousand October 7ths could never be as bad as what Israel has done to the Palestinians.” which is total nonsense and depraved. Weiss and Doublar have never read a book or watched a documentary on any perspective on the conflict other then what they agree with. They also once claimed without evidence, that the pictures of babies who’d been burned alive on October 7th were all AI generated. This is disgusting and shows that they have no empathy for all on both sides who’ve died in this war.
Medea Benjamin and Code Pink have accomplished nothing on behalf of the Gazan people. Nor do I believe they really care about them. It is more so they just don’t like America and it’s allies. Also, Israel didn’t colonize, steal land from, starve, or lock up anyone. The Jewish people are the Indigenous people of the land of Eretz-Israel. The Palestinians are of course too. This is not to deny their indigeniety but only to say they are not the only one’s who can claim such status in the holy land.
The Jewish people have a had a constant presence in the holy land going back 3,000 years predating the Arab arrival in the land. All of the land in what is today modern Israel was either legally purchased or conquered in war. How can the Jews colonize their own land? Also, I’ve never been able to find any hard evidence to the claim Israel starves the people of the Palestinian Territories. It is very unfortunate that the Palestinian people must live under Israeli security measures but there is no choice in the matter. Their own leadership and the Islamist groups in the region would attack Israel on a daily basis and its citizens would be in grave danger without them.
At the end of the day, like it or not, Israeli security and Palestinian freedom are tied together and you can’t have one without the other. Fatah, Hamas and other militant groups are to blame for these security measures needing to be in place. Respectfully, you misunderstood what I said. I didn’t say their couldn’t be peace or that I didn’t want peace. I was saying their can’t be peace as long as Hamas is around. As to the conflict itself. Their can only be peace when the conditions are right for it. Bibi never funded Hamas, that’s another allegation I’ve in all my years of research, never been able to find any reliable or hard evidence of.
Blaming Israel for the Palestinian population hating them is backwards and ahistorical. This ignores the decades of violence inflicted on the Jews of the holy land of Palestinian Arabs such as the two bloody Arab Revolts and the 1929 Hebron Massacre. Also, how about the alliance between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Adolf Hitler during World War II? Thousands of Arabs fought for the Nazis during WWII because they shared their antisemitism. You can go back to when a series of Muslim Empires conquered the holy land centuries ago and Jews were assigned dhimmi status, forced to pay the jizya and facing discrimination, segregation and being forced to wear clothing that identified them as Jews.
Blaming Israel for the hatred and violence inflicted on them is not only wrong, it ignores centuries of history and the longstanding legacy of Arab antisemitism. I can understand Palestinians not being happy about their situation and I sympathize with them. But that can never justify the two Intifadas, the numerous terrorist attacks on Israel or October 7th.
I do not need to rely on third party observations to identify the evil Zionists never cease promulgating — not only in Palestine but throughout the world — because I am the son of a man with first hand experience of Zionist/Jewish perfidy in Palestine.
My father was with the British Expeditionary Force in Palestine 1937–1939 ostensibly charged with enforcing the Balfour Declaration. The Zionist/Jews abrogated the terms and intent implicit in that Declaration.
The Zionist/Jews never intended to honour the terms.
Great Britain is thought to be “English” and things done by Great Britain are said to be done by the “English” but like the United States run by Jews today, Great Britain has been run by Jews since they successfully did in Great Britain in 1694 what they did in the United States in 1913.
The Zionists/Jews never cease working diligently to undermine legitimately elected governments whose interests ought to be for the interests of those whom elect them — then ever so insidiously doing their utmost to seize the instruments of legitimacy the electorate thought represented them with Jews.
Then rather than proclaiming the success of these coups promulgated successfully by Jews they pretend to be relatively powerless and well intentioned.
The “English” were hijacked by Zionist/Jewish interests to enable them to steal Palestine from the legitimated people living there.
Tough one....that's his opinion. I can't even ascribe motives anymore because none of it makes sense. But thanks for your thoughtful comment. I think we have to accept that many world leaders are psychopathic. :)
In the recent past a "shrunken amygdala" has become a prerequisite for leadership positions (even if only nominal) in the Collective West. The nastiness of what they are being told to do, in our name, demands it.
All this makes one wonder what the World Wars were truly all about…
Thanks for this article. Fingers crossed.
Perhaps the times we are living through: the 'Covid 'pandemic'', hormone and puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery for minors, climate alarmism, and more and more hot wars, will be described in history as The Age of Madness.

You've swallowed everything they've shoveled into your hungry little maw.
Try exercising some critical thinking.
To start, look for any shred of proof that Iran has actual nuclear weapons.
Proof is the lifetime, and more, incarceration of Mordechai Vanunu.
You mentioned "back channel diplomacy" going on. While there may be talks happening, they are not "diplomacy". The USA and especially Trump do not "do" diplomacy.

I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the air show in Yuma March of 2025. First time in my life I have seen or felt any sort of pride or patriotism. First time I have been in the company of so many people either enjoying the show or a part of the show that are so kind, respectful, helpful, smiling and happy. Yup I’m Canadian.
Not in disagreement. I agree. But I have found people are quick, to point, anger if you differ, think diff. I trust no one. And in that rhelm it was glorious to spend a day with like minded perps. The army navy air force and marines really put on a show. If that is what is taught. Discipline politeness respect gratitude and joy for their jobs ( more important than any job defending a country. Willing to die for it!!). It was a wow to me. Canadians that disagreed were fringe. Beaten jailed and done still jailed. There is so much more for why I feel like I do …. But thank you for sharing. You are not alone. There are many of us.
Thank you. I appreciate your honesty & skin in the game.
😉 I used to think the same.. as in the whole good vibes thing re: patriotism. My opinion has changed significantly since 2020. I am Canadian too btw. I got sucked into the whole “Truther” Movement… only to find lots of fraudsters. Suffice to say, happy for your experience… I just don’t have a lot of patience or faith in humanity at the moment. I want to… I really do. Thing is: when it’s tough sledding, I know 💯 no one & I mean no one, is coming to save us. So… parade all you want… I am too busy trying to build community & help out my neighbour. We need to love who is front of us- that’s a full time job worth taking on. My absolute best to you🤍🌻
The Gulf States are cowed Quislings of Americo-Judaism. They act like the people of the USSR did following the massive repressions by similar types between 1917 and 1937. Whether anything is left when their oppressors wear themselves out with hate and unearned power remains to be seen.
I think they shall rise again as the Russian civilizational state did.
It is odd how quickly the context that brought the Mullahs (whether you like them or not) to power in the first place is forgotten - the interference by the Anglo-Zionist, colonizing and rapacious empire
Agree. One of the unfortunate facts of history is that it takes fanatics to get rid of a totalitarian government. There are very few instances of peaceful demonstrations removing oppressors, mostly because the oppressors simply kill anyone who is a real threat. (I know that peace activists would disagree with me)
Unfortunately, the Mullahs were the only ones who could get rid of the Shaw. The other unfortunate thing is that left alone, history shows most societies trend towards moderation over time, while societies under threat rally around the flag.
The Anglo-Zionist empire cannot help it self. It needs to interfere with other societies. They cannot imagine doing anything else.
Better explanation. Thank you
Excellent points.
Several commentators have indicated that Bibi and the Israeli cabinet are have left Israel and are hiding on some Island.
I don't know if this is true or not, but it it is, it says a lot about the Israeli Leadership that they would leave their people to face Iranian retaliation on their own. They do not think that they should be accountable for their actions, but be bailed out by the Americans. Wow, start WWIII and then leave it to everyone else to clean up the mess.
Israel Leadership is an oxymoron - in my opinion. Lifetime of observed factual behaviour I can report on. Hmmm… come to think of it, insert any “corporation” - countries don’t exist, & then put Leadership, I would argue that oxymoron is true for all of them💯
It’s definitely a bottom up revolution - as in, the parasites gotta go.
Bibi and his accomplices are hiding wherever Zelensky is. They are birds of a feather.
Poppin champagne
Unclear.....the Air Force One/Israeli version went to Greece but who was on in it still in dispute.
Insane. You’d think a people that suffered the Holocaust would not suffer a psychopathic leader. And I can’t believe the war mongering. Course it’s much easier when it’s half way around the world and not in your own backyard. Good interview Trish. Wonder what Jeffrey Sachs has to say about it all today. I was listening to his interview with Tucker from several days ago and at one point he said he didn’t think Israel would attack Iran…
Recently heard him rattling on about how climate change is our biggest enemy. Captured and paid shill. Too bad he was someone I listened to. But then I read and bought Peter Wigan books too until he went off the deep end.
Zeihan’s
You’re entitled to your opinion.
I don’t consider bringing up the Holocaust a “low blow” because it should teach us all that we cannot support genocide of any people and having been the victims once should not excuse the current bad behaviour. And anyone willing to support Hamas and then blow the shite out of Gaza is a psychopath.
Enjoy your day.
You as well, Irene. I understand where your coming from. The people of Gaza no matter where you stand on this issue, deserves every westerners support and sympathy.
So did and do the people of the Donbas!!!
Goes all ways or no ways.
Agreed, sadly most people can’t get past “Putin Evil” and consider the effects of the neocon sponsored overthrow of Ukraine’s elected leader in 2014(?)
With no disrespect at all intended to you personally, Irene but I respectfully but completely disagree with this statement. Bringing up the Holocaust is in my view, insulting and a low blow. Bibi is a slippery politician, a failed leader in every way and needs to go to be sure. But he is not psychopathic. War mongering? I understand that point of view but that is not what Israel is doing.
Israel did a great thing for the whole world by destroying Iran’s nuclear capabilities just as they to Iraq’s in 1981 or Syria’s in 2007. Iran could not be allowed to have a bomb and would not have hesitated to use it on Israel, Saudi Arabia or the Kurds and if they had the capacity to do so, the United States and the West. Warmongering? Again, I must respectfully disagree. Israel is defending itself from terrorist groups who wish to wipe it off the face of the Earth.
Yes, Israel is a wealthy, regional power with the best army in the Middle East and nuclear weapons. But this doesn’t change the fact that Israel is a tiny nation the size of New Jersey surrounded by dozens of hostile nations and terrorist groups that wish to destroy it. Iran made their intentions clear they wanted to do just that. Let’s not ignore as well that Iran is a theocracy that has a gender apartheid, that has destroyed Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, and Lebanon with their poisonous influence and are the number one supporters of terrorism in the world.
Last on bonus list is Iran. He made this list and promised to get er done. Wonder why he left Iran to the last????
Every dime Israel spends on war comes from the US taxpayer!! Israel has ‘soda stream’.
It's hard to say how and what they "suffered" as the "Holocaust" was never all it was cracked up to be. It is largely a Hollywood affair. In fact some of the documentary evidence for it was flimed by a young-ish (hard to imagine, I know) Alfred Hitchcock.
Certainly most of the tribe seems rather short on empathy and self-reflection and rich with hate and brutal self-interest.
Etymologically, 'Holocaust' comes from the GK and means 'a whole burnt offering to God or gods".
Perhaps they did not look up the meaning when they chose it to describe their tribal narrative.
refreshingly critical article regarding nazism and, indeed, the holo*aust by L. Guyénot: "....What we may call the “Churchillian history” of WWII (since Churchill was making it and writing it at the same time), is the mother of all the subsequent lies of our Western counterfeit history, up to 9/11...." - https://www.unz.com/article/are-we-denazified-now/
Hollywood photographers and directors (yup, among them Alfred Hitchcock) were tasked with filming the 'liberation' of the camps - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jan/09/holocaust-film-too-shocking-to-show-night-will-fall-alfred-hitchcock
https://hyperallergic.com/426644/lamoth-filming-the-camps-the-holocaust/
Thanks for backing that up, so well. I guess I just assume it is common knowledge, so I do not cite sources. It is great when they are there. Churchill was one of the first to substitute what used to be called ‘truth’ with ‘narrative’.
He discredited Autobiography for all time, though no one took it all that seriously from the start.
Canada now has his spiritual progeny in Ottawa, Dr Meat is a Liar and the father of a thousand little bastard lies. So sad about Carney playing Herod, Pilate and Caiaphas and sending Christ-figures to be sacrificed in the prison system.
There was a very alarming Father’s Day Letter from Tamara today.
How this will all end I do not know but such evil perfidy delenda est.
Already, we cannot speak freely!
'Churchill's narrative', brilliant! tasking Hollywood with filming the camps of course also served to create a narrative. and then there's the magick number of "6 million J*ws": yet another narrative, one that goes back to at least 1915 - https://archive.org/details/old-newspapers-report-six-million-jews-1915-1938
you're right, Canada's a mess, and so, unfortunately, is the EU. nice to've met you, FK, be well
You are right, there were others. I think perhaps the Korda brothers got a start there too. Propaganda pays well I guess and gives one a boost in the trade so one can be comfortable in one’s dotage and dream of past glories. One might even score an OBE or an Order of Canada piece of cheap metal.
I’ve heard that… haven’t looked into it enough but makes one wonder. So much of “history” is really propaganda it’s hard to not be skeptical of everything given how we’ve seen how the media lies especially the last 5 years
For a while, History belongs to the Victors (because they get to write it). They are usually total liars as they have so much to hide.
In time the truth always comes out because as Christ said: “Nothing is hidden that shall not be revealed. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find.
Knock, and the door will be opened for you.”
yet the present 'victors' also play mean, using very effectively their power(s) to suppress exposure of the answers to our questions. Churchill is still portrayed in schools everywhere as a hero, yet nationalist leaders trying to de-colonise their country labelled communist (followed by a 'mostly peaceful' military take over, after which they'll eventually get assassinated). so many questions, while serious research gagged and silenced.
You can't trust the genocidal triad of Isreal-USA-UK. The gulf states need to set a red line now rather than turn a blind eye to the genocidal monsters. They're born mass murderers and negotiations are not going to stop that.
I 100% disagree, Dillion. The United States, the UK and Israel have committed no genocide. Insulting and generalizing three whole countries and all its people and calling us all baby killers and mass murderers is disgusting and does nothing to help the people of Gaza. I see no arguments in this comment only petty insults, blind hatred for three nations of millions of people and no constructive solutions to any of the big problems in the region.
Though I enjoyed your interview with Lawrence a couple days ago, I don’t agree with him that it’s us, the USA, using Israel to dominate the Middle East. From this American’s perspective, our whole country has been taken over by Israel and there are many dual citizens in our Congress. They’ve passed resolutions and states have passed multiple laws making criticism or boycotts of Israel against the law. To many of us, it’s become The United States of Israel and we want this stopped. Hosting that psychopath Netanyahu in our Congress and having nearly ALL of them stand and clap for that demonic bastard, is just too much!! Every President goes to Israel and kisses that ***** wall and most of us are sick to death of it. To all Jewish peace activists and to all of the rest of us who agree with you, thank you and let’s keep speaking out against this truly evil regime.
I couldn’t disagree with you more, Mel. Our country has not been taken over by Israel, that’s a ridiculous statement. China manufactures most of our products, are we owned by them? We buy 60% of our oil from Canada, are we owned by them? The U.S. is also loyal allies to Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, the Asian Tigers, and Saudi Arabia. Do they own us too? Congress’s anti-BDS resolutions and states passing anti-BDS laws is wrong to be sure. But not all Zionists or Pro-Israel folks agree with it. I know many who don’t. I am a Zionist and I totally oppose anti-BDS laws. They are blatant violations of the first amendment.
Dual citizens? Calling our elected officials traitors because they support Israel is total nonsense and an ad hominem. The United States of Israel? That is going way over the top and a great exaggeration. I don’t like Bibi either and I hope after the war he and his government will either be forced to resign by public pressure or be voted out of office in the next election. But I wouldn’t go as far as calling him a “demonic b******!” That would be more apply applied to the late Ismail Haniyeh and Yayha Sinwar who did October 7th. How soon the atrocities of that day are forgotten. This is not to ignore the great suffering of the people of Gaza. But their suffering is the fault of Hamas not Israel.
That d*** wall? That wall that you talk about in such a derogatory way is the Walling Wall, which was the only place the Jews were allowed to pray in ancient times by the Romans to weep for the destruction of the Second Temple. It’s one of the holiest sites in Judaism. Our Presidents should go there and treat it with great reverence and respect. The efforts of Jewish peace activists are understandable and commendable, but it is misguided as peace can’t be achieved I’m sorry to say. Israel has negotiated for a long time now with Hamas and they refuse to be good faith actors.
They were always changing the terms and then when there was a ceasefire agreed upon they disgustingly paraded around the bodies of the Bibas family and Oded Liftshitz and then stopped releasing hostages altogether. I couldn’t agree more Netanyahu is a terrible leader for Israel and a scheming politician. But he and Israel have some all they can to try and rescue the hostages. Hamas has played games from the beginning. I mean disrespect with this comment and I have nothing at all personally against you, Mel. But I must totally disagree with your statement.
You must believe there remains any sympathy for the Zionist project. The Zionist project is no longer veiled as it has been for hundreds of decades. The Goyim have been tolerant to a fault.
Your tribes top down Fascist control of the Hebrew people is something one can only summarize as despicable.
You gloss over the obvious influence Zionists have brought to their evil pass in the United States. Cleverly ZIONISTS work both sides of ideological isle. Jewish money pours into negatively influencing all ideological points of the compass.
The ZIONIST PROJECT is one of the most evil works of mind control ever conceived. Your comment is larded with Jewish equivocation. You completely ignore the history of events on the ground in Palestine that you are no doubt well aware undermines the legitimacy of your claims.
Your Zionist project includes the tactic of ignoring the legitimate claims of the Palestinians to their homeland entitlements. The ZIONIST project includes claims to legitimacy which are patently inapplicable if they practiced universally.
“God’s chosen people” begs the question. Whose God?
Your Zionist antecedents began harassing the Palestinians’ the moment the ink on the Balfour Declaration was dry. One hundred and twenty eight years of never ceasing animosity toward the Palestinians’ is glossed over as though it is something which never existed.
The Zionist project has been exposed once and forever.
I was playing along until you started blaming Haniyeh and Jahya and absolving Mileikovsky/Satanyahu. I am certain it just went downhill from there.
As General Khludov said before hanging a soldier who pretended to tell the whole truth rather too passionately, then faltered: "You started well but ended badly. (To guard) Take him out and hang him."
I stopped reading at “buy 60% of our oil from Canada. Because you make 10X the money selling it compared to the cost from Canada. Jesus?? What the hell.
Are you American or Israeli. Where do your loyalties ‘lie’.
No I is in hiding because if shit goes down he will be the first to be hung in the street. Nearest tree
“But peace can’t be achieved, I’m sorry to say” you said. That right there, is the crux of the problem with folks who think like you do. I have Jewish blood. Many of us likely do. And MY heroes are Max Blumenthal, Aaron and Gabor Mate’, Medea Benjamin, Glenn Greenwald, Norman Finkelstein, Keaton Weiss, Russell Dobular, and so many more truly good-hearted non-Zionist Jews. Remember, if you go in to colonize a people, take their land, kill them, lock them up, give them a starvation diet, not let them move freely back and forth, etc, you make a population that hates you. And Bibi funded Hamas for his own diabolical purposes. Peace CAN be achieved. But not with attitudes like too many Israelis have.
I understand what your saying, Mel. Indeed, you are just as legitimate a member of the Jewish community as any Zionist Jew is. A significant minority of Jews are to be sure, anti-Zionist and I respect their opinion and their feelings. All the commentators or activists you mentioned are not trustworthy or good-faith actors or they are completely misinformed. Norman Finkelstein for instance, has declared solidarity with Hezbollah and states that if Israel targets civilians (which they don’t and what would even be the purpose of that?) than Hezbollah has the right to target Israeli civilians.
Aaron Mate denied that any women were raped on October 7th when there is a great deal of evidence to the contrary. Max Blumenthal has always had a very one-sided view of the conflict, his book Goliath was full of errors and things written deceptively on purpose and he ran a whole segment on the ironically named Real News Network, claiming the crimes of October 7th were exaggerated by Israel and Hamas isn’t all that bad. Not to mention, you almost never hear him criticize the extremists in the Palestinian Territories.
Gabor Mate downplayed October 7th and showed no sympathy for the victims. Stating “a thousand October 7ths could never be as bad as what Israel has done to the Palestinians.” which is total nonsense and depraved. Weiss and Doublar have never read a book or watched a documentary on any perspective on the conflict other then what they agree with. They also once claimed without evidence, that the pictures of babies who’d been burned alive on October 7th were all AI generated. This is disgusting and shows that they have no empathy for all on both sides who’ve died in this war.
Medea Benjamin and Code Pink have accomplished nothing on behalf of the Gazan people. Nor do I believe they really care about them. It is more so they just don’t like America and it’s allies. Also, Israel didn’t colonize, steal land from, starve, or lock up anyone. The Jewish people are the Indigenous people of the land of Eretz-Israel. The Palestinians are of course too. This is not to deny their indigeniety but only to say they are not the only one’s who can claim such status in the holy land.
The Jewish people have a had a constant presence in the holy land going back 3,000 years predating the Arab arrival in the land. All of the land in what is today modern Israel was either legally purchased or conquered in war. How can the Jews colonize their own land? Also, I’ve never been able to find any hard evidence to the claim Israel starves the people of the Palestinian Territories. It is very unfortunate that the Palestinian people must live under Israeli security measures but there is no choice in the matter. Their own leadership and the Islamist groups in the region would attack Israel on a daily basis and its citizens would be in grave danger without them.
At the end of the day, like it or not, Israeli security and Palestinian freedom are tied together and you can’t have one without the other. Fatah, Hamas and other militant groups are to blame for these security measures needing to be in place. Respectfully, you misunderstood what I said. I didn’t say their couldn’t be peace or that I didn’t want peace. I was saying their can’t be peace as long as Hamas is around. As to the conflict itself. Their can only be peace when the conditions are right for it. Bibi never funded Hamas, that’s another allegation I’ve in all my years of research, never been able to find any reliable or hard evidence of.
Blaming Israel for the Palestinian population hating them is backwards and ahistorical. This ignores the decades of violence inflicted on the Jews of the holy land of Palestinian Arabs such as the two bloody Arab Revolts and the 1929 Hebron Massacre. Also, how about the alliance between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Adolf Hitler during World War II? Thousands of Arabs fought for the Nazis during WWII because they shared their antisemitism. You can go back to when a series of Muslim Empires conquered the holy land centuries ago and Jews were assigned dhimmi status, forced to pay the jizya and facing discrimination, segregation and being forced to wear clothing that identified them as Jews.
Blaming Israel for the hatred and violence inflicted on them is not only wrong, it ignores centuries of history and the longstanding legacy of Arab antisemitism. I can understand Palestinians not being happy about their situation and I sympathize with them. But that can never justify the two Intifadas, the numerous terrorist attacks on Israel or October 7th.
I do not need to rely on third party observations to identify the evil Zionists never cease promulgating — not only in Palestine but throughout the world — because I am the son of a man with first hand experience of Zionist/Jewish perfidy in Palestine.
My father was with the British Expeditionary Force in Palestine 1937–1939 ostensibly charged with enforcing the Balfour Declaration. The Zionist/Jews abrogated the terms and intent implicit in that Declaration.
The Zionist/Jews never intended to honour the terms.
Great Britain is thought to be “English” and things done by Great Britain are said to be done by the “English” but like the United States run by Jews today, Great Britain has been run by Jews since they successfully did in Great Britain in 1694 what they did in the United States in 1913.
The Zionists/Jews never cease working diligently to undermine legitimately elected governments whose interests ought to be for the interests of those whom elect them — then ever so insidiously doing their utmost to seize the instruments of legitimacy the electorate thought represented them with Jews.
Then rather than proclaiming the success of these coups promulgated successfully by Jews they pretend to be relatively powerless and well intentioned.
The “English” were hijacked by Zionist/Jewish interests to enable them to steal Palestine from the legitimated people living there.
I find it odd that you manage to find simple math 'Depraved'. I wonder if you may be depraved yourself. Actually, I do not wonder. I know you are.
The most reasonable and fair comment (overview)I've ever read on this the whole Isreal/Gaza mess. Kudos to you!!
Wow, are you getting paid for this drivel?
Doing a great job.
Old joke asks: "What is the most valuable Israeli occupied territory?"
Answer: "Capitol Hill"
Tough one....that's his opinion. I can't even ascribe motives anymore because none of it makes sense. But thanks for your thoughtful comment. I think we have to accept that many world leaders are psychopathic. :)
Yes, you are correct. Most people who get to that level of power often have shrunken amygdalas!!
In the recent past a "shrunken amygdala" has become a prerequisite for leadership positions (even if only nominal) in the Collective West. The nastiness of what they are being told to do, in our name, demands it.
There's not much use in speculating I guess, they have it planned.
