Nothing will ever be the same after Gaza and Epstein

Epstein and Gaza are the news stories that transform the world. This is why the media work very hard to suppress both but they have, mercifully, partly failed.

By backing Israel's actions in Gaza the West has lost all its moral authority. It did have quite a lot, despite Iraq, Libya, Syria and the rest.

And moral authority matters even if it's partly or largely rests on deceit. 

Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue (La Rochefoucauld).

Epstein lifts a little corner of the veil that hides how the world works. Can Israel's support in the USA survive Epstein and Gaza? 

Yes certainly but perhaps not indefinitely.

The BBC and the left-of-centre papers like the Guardian also push the UK's official line. Jonathan Cook explains interestingly here how 'The BBC pushes the case for an illegal war on Iran with even bigger lies than Trump’s'.

This media disinformation is why people don't know that the failed revolution in Iran was CIA Mossad operation and the 2014 revolution in Kiev was largely CIA too.

Are we the baddies? Well the Americans are - while European countries obey their master's voice

Yes the Americans are completely the dangerous aggressor here - as usual since the invasion of Panama 37 years ago. 

I am praying that Taco (Trump always chickens out) will save the world from war. I think it will but I was wrong when I thought Russia would not invade Ukraine.

But everyone sees who is threatening an unprovoked, unjust war: the USA and Israel.

Scott Horton, an American libertarian, says most of what I want to say.

Quotations

"A moronocracy." An anonymous Administration official describing the Trump administration to court historian Michael Wolff. The ones who are not morons, like Marco Rubio, are sometimes as bad as the ones who are unfitted to be in the government like Pete Hegseth.

"If you got Maduro and his wife so bloody what?" General GD Bakshi, Indian military analyst. Actually I think Venezuela will obey the USA but Venezuela has not been conquered and is not now ruled by Rubio, as Trump pretended. We shall see.

“When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard "having children" as a question of pros and cons, the great turning-point has come. For Nature knows nothing of pro and con.” Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West

"A discussion with a convinced ideologue on matters covered by his ideology is sure to be a waste of time, unless you share the ideology. What is there to discuss? His ideology is proof against the shock of any seemingly conflicting facts which you might bring forward. He will either reinterpret these facts so that they become consistent with his ideology, or deny them." James Burnham

“Liberalism was, in origin, criticism of the old established order. Today, it is the voice of the establishment.” George Grant, Lament for a Nation [1965]

The Hannibal Directive. Israelis have said that some Israelis were killed by the IDF on 7 October 2023 but not how many.

The Hannibal Doctrine, which Israel admits was at one time its policy, requires the IDF to kill Israelis rather than let them be taken prisoner. I learnt about it from Gilad Atzmon on Facebook on October 7, 2023 but it was not mentioned at all in the Western media for more than a year afterwards and then it was mentioned in passing.

Are we the baddies? Yes the Americans are the dangerous aggressor here - as so often since the invasion of Panama 37 years ago - and the craven Europeans and Starmer back them.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant In his first interview since being fired November 2024,said the Hannibal Directive was implemented in some places but not consistently.

Israeli Captain Bar Zonshein, admitted here to “firing tank shells on vehicles carrying Israeli civilians.”

Haaretz reported that a military helicopter arrived at the site of the festival and opened fire on gunmen but also wounded festival participants.

This is a screenshot of the devastation at the car park beside the pop concert from a broadcast on November 5, 2023 on i24NEWS, an Israeli 24-hour news television channel. The Hamas attackers were armed with small arms, so the official story that Hamas are responsible for these burnt cars was questioned in Israel, but scarcely discussed at all outside Israel.
