Crooke is really doubling down on his “post-modern conditions” recently …
@ Don Firineach | Oct 30 2024 5:57 utc | 204
Crooke is really starting to make sense to me. I’ve previously found him fabulously apocalyptic, but rubble accumulates in favor of his bleak prognosis.
A key phrase in his heroic preference post at SCF is “war without limits” — a deliberate assault on the very laws of war. Crooke strikingly connects the dots on this score, between Herman Khan of the Hudson Institute and Genghis Khan, both scheming to turn the whole world upside-down:

Professor Michael Hudson points out the design’s fatal flaw: The Vietnam War had shown that any attempted conscription by western democracies was not viable…
So what then was left to the United States and Israel? Well, what is available – if your objective is to found Greater Israel – is ‘war without limits’ [i.e positively seeking huge collateral deaths] – a war without limits such as that which Genghis Khan practised: the total annihilation of other peoples and the suppression of their separate identities. A single power – the Hobbesian ‘Leviathan’ – achieved through disarming everyone. The ultimate aim being to suppress any plurality of wills.
The flaw is that the Israelis, as the U.S. proxy force, have limited forces, both by numbers (it is a small army, dependent on reservists), and by being constrained by its ranks being drawn from a westernised, postmodern culture.

Why would anybody single out just Jews for reprisals when they entire World including Muslims, Christians, Jews , Sikhs etc have ignored this genocide.
I have been railing against the creation of Greater Israel on Craig Murray and here for 20 years. Most people I have worked with during that 20 years couldn’t tolerate even one sentence of my thoughts before silencing me, sacking me or warning me to stop.
I’m not working at the moment and I haven’t worked since covid, because thecm entire , educated working population of Britain refuse to engage their minds. This is Kufr/ denial.
Denial will close the doors to Heaven as surely as martyrdom will open them for Palestinians.

The West has silenced the truth about Zionism for decades, while constantly spreading libel against Islam by pretending that it’s own Islamist terrorists represent Islam.
Before lapping up the Islamophobic tripe about the Taliban forbidding when from reciting the Qur’an in public, why not give some thought to the TOTAL censorship of rational discussion , private or public about Islam, or anything religious.
You create the soil for genocide, and genocide will happen. The West has been preparing the tilth for this filth for 2000 years, by tyrannical oppression of religious freedom or discussion.
My wife works in a Muslim Ladies clothes shop where men are obviously sometimes with their wives and families, but otherwise rarely seen.
The Taliban are growing a society, and the West is growing a society. The society we in the West have grown is 100% responsible for the genocide in Sham. There is ZERO tolerance of private or public discussion of the racism of Zionism anywhere in Britain.
The genocide is the efficient , Fascist product of Mental hydroponics. No discussion of anything religious has been allowed in Britain for over a thousand tears, except in the Overton window of zionism.

Gruff I read your posts and usually get something from them so thanks for that. My comments are nothing new, here’s what I see locally in rural midwest America. Most people in my area don’t like the blue team culture but they are tending to be sort of quiet and careful about how they express themselves. Trump signs are not as prevalent as before; zero Harris signs. There is a significant minority of blue teamers, gay friendly to the point of going out of the way to demonstrate that they like gays. It’s a bit strange here because a local boy (gay) left town, got rich in California and came back home and is putting lots of money into rehabbing the town with a high end restaurant and supports other community oriented things like gardens, etc. Red leaners tend to accept it but windows have been broken– big expensive ones. We have a local environment group– I’m a member– which is blue aligned. It’s basically the “smarties” align with the blues and the “slower people” on the red for the most part. 70-30 reds but people still try to get along, partly because they need each other. The election will strain that, I don’t know how much but I think more than most imagine.
Problem is, as we barflies know, both sides have a very hazy picture of what’s going on, especially the genocide and the imperial war on Russia. Blues are Russia gaters and Reds tend to defer to the born again Israel weirdos in their circles so no one challenges the loud mouths. Meanwhile, I wear my Palestine cap and, although people look at it, no one says anything. Been wearing it here for 6 months now.
Blue teamers are more deluded, IMO. Reds are mostly not that interested except the whacko born agains. My guess is Trump will win, surrender to the neocons and eventually fade to Vance or someone like him. He’s a narcissistic con but he’s consistent in that way. Harris is worse but that’s no excuse to vote for Trump. Empire’s going down. Ukraine and Israel will go first.

Just throwing this out there as a trump supporter …. I think a lot of folks are going to be surprised how antiwar this administration is going to be. Trump is committed to rebuilding the country including building 5 new world class cities on federal land. Trump said in his first campaign the ME had been at war for centuries why should we care. Also trump is convinced nutyahoo betrayed him in the second election…even if he is talking to nutyahoo its only pandering for the jew vote. What he said about iran ….do what you gotta do…. trump is saying its on you not me. Trump and Vance both are saying we will build a dome of protection over our country. Trump wants world peace its a priority to him. i think America is going to exit stage left on war. Trump connects with the antiwar crowd and we are the majority. Anyway Ive been in the car since day one and the coming
administration has been independently financed for the transition 3 months ago. Its a new sheriff in town and RFK jr said not a single coporate lobbyist is on the list. The deep state got crushed and never seen it coming. Who knows right? But I hold hope .

“ Trump and Vance both are saying we will build a dome of protection over our country.”
I got no dog in this pantomime. And no bone to pick with any deluded voters who just want to believe in something. Regardless of the colour of the pills offered – Red/Blue/Yellow.
That belief in the childish, cartoon like , sci-fi , super hero powered impossible fantasies , dozens of which are believed before breakfast e.g like some ‘dome’ to isolate one spot on a pale blue dot in the expanse of the solar system from the other part of its insignificant scale.
WHAT exactly is that mystical dome constructed of whatever undefined materials , supposed to ‘protect’ from? Serious question.

Abit long but thought this post to the world Jewish community by KimDotcom was noteworthy.
https://x.com/KimDotcom/status/1848914542203703764?mx=2
An open letter to the Jewish community around the world.
Israel ‘the Jewish state’ of ‘the chosen people’ has committed acts of well-documented injustice against the Palestinian people for decades. I won’t go into the details. October 7 didn’t happen in a vacuum and you know that. Israel had many opportunities to achieve a lasting peace with the Palestinians but failed to make an honest effort: https://theguardian.com/world/2017/may/16/the-real-reason-the-israel-palestine-peace-process-always-fails
Around the world people are watching the non-stop massacre of children on social media and somehow these innocent kids are blamed for what Hamas did. Those of us with kids think ‘what would I do if these were my kids’. That’s why nobody is talking about October 7 anymore.
The damage that Netanyahu and his genocidal co-conspirators are doing to Jews around the world should not be underestimated. I see the Internet explode with Jew hatred. I find myself angry and perplexed about how little pushback I can register against Netanyahu by the Jewish community. It makes me sick that the forever-victims don’t show empathy for other victims.
Sure there are a handful of Jewish journalists and activist who speak out against the indiscriminate mass murder of Palestinians but they are a drop in the ocean. Where is the condemnation from the global Jewish community? If you don’t speak out you are seen as complicit. The Israeli President claimed that all Palestinians are Hamas. If you do nothing the same logic applies to you.
Just imagine the anger of the world if Netanyahu would use nuclear weapons against Iran. The danger is real. Iran has sophisticated hypersonic ballistic missiles that cannot be stopped by the Iron dome. If Israel strikes sensitive targets in Iran they can retaliate by destroying Israel’s energy infrastructure and water supply. What do you think Netanyahu would do?
Israel expects that the United States will join a war against Iran. But as soon as Russia and China get involved they have to back down or risk nuclear war. You may have noticed that the US Govt is only good at carpet bombing civilians in countries with weak armies. Since WW2 they have not fought against a peer opponent and even then Russia did most of the work.
Just look at the graveyard of US and NATO military hardware in Ukraine. Hundreds of billions of dollars and the combined effort of the West could not win the US proxy war against Russia.
What is the US military worth in a fight against Iran, Russia and China? Nothing. Self destruction is the only possible outcome. Counting on the US Govt to achieve victory is stupid. Just look at Ukraine. The only chance that Israel has is peace. It will become impossible to manage the Jew hatred around the world if the indiscriminate killing continues and expands. Not even attempting to stop Netanyahu is condemning the Jewish people to be hated and punished everywhere.
Don’t let this happen. Show the world that you care about other victims of injustice and genocide. Please get involved and stop this madness. You have the power to stop this and if you don’t you will come to regret it.
Thank you for your time and consideration

Thank you, Jerr. I have admired Kimdotcom since back in the earlly days of protest in New Zealand against Key government policies. This morning I was thinking that what happened in Chaco Canyon to that small civilization must be what shall happen and is happening in Israel. Israelis must leave. They left Egypt when life became unbearable there; it is time to do it again. How we in the US can be able to follow suit might only be as it is for the least of the Israelis, to resist passively, to hunker down, to shelter in place. And to help where we can, in whatever remains, those who also remain.
I am keeping on in place.
Chaco was emptied out. The only ones left are guides to explain the empty buildings, the megalithic structures. People don’t farm there yet, even though they could. But they found homes elsewhere. As when a fire scars a mountain. No trees still, but still there is a faint tinge of new growth while the earth itself regenerates overtime, absent community.

UN Special Rapporteur on the State of Human Rights in the OPT, Francesca Albanese
https://x.com/Raminho/status/1851651933469298750
“The institutions of the state of Israel, a self-proclaimed rule of law system – the executive, the parliament, the courts – have failed to contain and redress abusive power. Instead, together, they have advanced the course of the current catastrophe.
And while international tribunals will hopefully hold individuals accountable, the responsibilities of the state must be understood and assessed in its own right and cannot wait.
This should have been stopped already by the Security Council last October, after earlier warnings issued by dozens of UN independent experts, when the ICJ passed its first set of provisional measures, when I presented my first report, or before Rafah was invaded or before the invasion of Lebanon.
Instead, the silence or worse, the justification of a small but very influential number of states in the room leaves me utterly lost for words.
And yet, wherever there are lives to save, there is still the urgency to intervene to prevent new atrocities that will further scar human history.
Make that moment now.”

Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges
I attended a lecture this evening by Francesca Albanese (@FranceskAlbs), the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the occupied territories, at Princeton University. Francesca is as brilliant and articulate as she is courageous in documenting and denouncing the apartheid state of Israel and the genocide carried out against the Palestinians.
Also, it was a pleasure seeing @AbbyMartin at the event!
See their video below (and the transcript to be uploaded soon):
https://scheerpost.com/2024/10/29/the-chris-hedges-report-genocide-as-colonial-erasure-w-francesca-albanese/
The Chris Hedges Report: Genocide as Colonial Erasure (w/ Francesca Albanese)
“The crime of all crimes.” That is how the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda declared genocide in the final judgment of Prosecutor v. Akayesu, the case against the mayor of Taba, Rwanda for crimes against humanity. Today, that crime repeats itself as UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese painfully details in her latest report.
Albanese joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to break down her report and present the indisputable evidence that Israel is actively committing a genocide of the Palestinian people.
“The acts of killing, the mass killing, the infliction of psychological and physical torture, the devastation, the creation of conditions of life that would not allow the people in Gaza to live, from the destruction of hospitals, the mass force displacement and the mass homelessness while people were being bombed daily, and the starvation—how can we read these acts in isolation?” Albanese asks.
The UN Special Rapporteur clearly outlines the steps and conditions required to meet the classification of genocide, and in the case of Gaza, it’s undeniable. Albanese tells Hedges, “What is relevant in order to establish that there is genocide is not just the intent behind these crimes, enunciated in Article II of the Genocide Convention; it’s the overall intent, specific intent, to destroy the people—the group as a whole, or in part, as such. And what is the group here? It’s the Palestinians.”
Throughout the rest of her report, Albanese details the harrowing death and destruction Palestinians endure on a daily basis in countless forms, alongside the horror suffered by non-Palestinians in Gaza. Albanese documents record-breaking numbers: The highest number of journalists killed, the highest number of UN officials killed, the highest number of hospitals targeted, the destruction of all universities, the fastest rate of population starvation. It’s clear, according to Albanese, the scale of devastation the Israelis are inflicting is one of scorched-earth catastrophe.
Francesca Albanese’s latest report to the United Nations is here:
https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/279/68/pdf/n2427968.pdf
Situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967**
Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese
Genocide as colonial erasure
Summary
In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese, examines the unfolding horrors in the occupied Palestinian territory. While the wholesale destruction of Gaza continues unabated, other parts of the land have not been spared. The violence that Israel has unleashed against the Palestinians post-7 October is not happening in a vacuum, but is part of a long-term intentional, systematic, State-organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians. This trajectory risks causing irreparable prejudice to the very existence of the Palestinian people in Palestine.
Member States must intervene now to prevent new atrocities that will further scar human history…..

Israel published .[a].. “surrender” document … whereby Hezbollah would be entirely disarmed and dispersed by the Lebanese armed forces under supervision of US.
In Lebanon, the US ceasefire team as well as the US ambassador have been explicit in trying to convince the political structure to realign with US and Israel and assist in the dismantling of Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s position remains that any ceasefire deal must be linked to same in Gaza.
<= Has unexpected anger over UN Resolution 1701 and Hezbollah's presence in Lebanon exposed a possible link to as-to-how Israel knew where Hezbollah high level officials were? Apparently Najib Mikatihas, Prime Minister, Lebanon sees comments by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament, published in Le Figaro, about UN Resolution 1701 and Hezbollah's presence in Lebanon as “interference” in Lebanon’s sovereign internal affairs? Question: is the political structure in Lebanon jealous of Hezbollah or truly concerned or is Israeli infections within the power structure of Lebanon coming into view? Wonder how Iran will respond to this? IMO, this has the potential to get very interesting. now a cease fire between Lebanon and Israel in the immediate future..who has what on whom?

More on Kervok Almassian’s analysis of events in West Asia on his podcast on Syriana Analysis. He puts forth that the proposed “peace” deal signals a shift in US tactics in ME. Away from Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon to fomenting a civil war in Lebanon. Cutting the supply line from Syria to Hezbollah with a Mediterranean blockade and at the same time stepping up US actions on ground in Syria to interdict exchanges with Hezbollah. A couple of weeks ago, Jordanian ambassador went to Syria to threaten Assad, making some kind of US sanctions reduction offer or something similar in exchange for Syria to cut ties with Resistance and turn towards gulf states, which Almassian says Assad rejected. Almassian says he fears a false flag in Lebanon, a killing of someone and blaming it on Hezbollah that will activate those Lebanese that don’t like Hezbollah. In other words, the US strategy to control the ME remains the same, while the tactics change from military invasion of Lebanon to encirclement and blockade.

Finally. Hezbollah will not stop until Israel leaves Gaza. Nothing can make up for what Israhell has done to the Palestinian people, but the dismantling of that voracious killer entity is the first, essential necessity (my belief). Where today is that huge grouping of Palestinian mothers and children surrounded by gun-pointing Israel soldiers? I have seen also today a video of another Palestinian child with all 4 limbs cut-off yet trying to jump with his leg-stubs. I wonder if its the same child that was video-taped some time back trying to hold a trowel to dig the earth with the stumps that had been his arms. These children will now always appear before my mind’s eye at any given moment.

West tech stack is no good: Android, IOS, Windows, Mac, controllers etc all report all actions to CIA.
They are the eye of mordor.
Face and voice fingerprints can be done be the phones themselves and reported back.
This will be used for targeting. When discovered on the vast array of western devices people use.
All phones need camera blockers as a minimum. (built into the case with physical sliders front and back) Put the phones in another room next to a very loud fan when talking.
(have all phones on top of each other playing different songs)
seperate phone, battery, and sim and put them in a faraday cage, all radiation can be located. (tin foil can be used) but make sure the phones camera is blind first so it cannot be annalysed for having tin foil around it. (call it or text it to see if it is.
Use ethernet internet as it is radiation free.
ideally take pictures with a non radiating device like a non bluetooth camera.
upload pictures afterwards to cloud not from hot location.
The phone can track its location even in airplane mode so it needs to be seperaated so it is unpowered it will report any route you make in your pocket.
you can discharge the phone but it can trick you by faking blank screen.

Highlights of article:
1) “The Russians will have a special role in implementing the agreement and preventing further escalation,” a source told Ynet.
Commenting on the reports, Orna Mizrahi, a former Israeli deputy national security adviser, told Newsweek that while Israel “prefers the Americans,” it understands that Russia’s “good relations” with Iran could contribute to the stability of any deal on Lebanon reached in the future”.
2) The deal involves a ***wider implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1701,** passed in 2006, which demands the withdrawal of Hezbollah forces from the Lebanese-Israeli border. It **introduces an international mechanism to supervise the region*** and deal with violations claims by either Israel or Lebanon and reportedly prevents Hezbollah from rearming, **which effectively means the group would be banned from acquiring military means.**
3) “Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday neither confirmed nor denied Russia’s involvement in the peace process, but said Moscow “maintains contacts with all parties of the conflict.”
“And, of course, if our assistance is needed, Russia is ready to play its part,” he stated.
Ambiguous statement from Peskov.
Appears Russia happy to let them ramble as nothing to refute or support atm.
Sounds like USReal desperate for an ally that they believe will work magic on Iran/Hezbollah.
Be awhile before Supreme Leader Khomeini signs a deal with Russia I’m guessing. Probably not that impressed.
