This Saturday there will be an attempted coup, a color revolution in the US as the Soros NGO’s in co-operation with rogue elements in the CIA and MI6.
These massive demonstrations are designed to overthrow the Trump administration, and create chaos.
Think May – June 2020 when the same thing was attempted and Portland, Seattle, NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, LA, SF, Buffalo, Rochester and other cities. Antifa and BLM anarchists attempted the coup and failed.
Five years later all conditions have changed, over 20 million illegal aliens have been allowed into the US by the Biden Soros puppets, many of the murderers, rapists, drug dealers, drug mules, cartel soldiers, and ODC’s.
The Fifth Column now exists. There will be a major showdown this weekend. Stay tuned. Texas has already alerted the entire national guard for duty this weekend. Many other states are now following suit.

More on Zionism being baked into (western/diaspora/Ashkenazi) Judaism [a follow-up on the previous Yasha Levine link]:
https://www.nefariousrussians.com/p/the-ancient-zionism-that-haunts-the?utm_source=publication-search

I’ve been thinking again about whether or not zionism is hardwired into Judaism and I want to publish a segment from a new book about the growth and evolution of messianic zionism that I think supports my view of things. The book is by Rachel Feldman, who we talked to on the pod last month.
I got a decent amount of abuse a few months ago when I made the argument that a zionist way of thinking — that is, a way of looking at the world through a lens of messianic ethno-religious nationalism — is indeed a core part of Judaism and is present in core Jewish texts. I think I was (and am) much more right than wrong about my view on this. And I’m not the only one who has seen the same pattern. We talked to Rachel very briefly about it on the pod. And now, looking over her book again, I realize that she has a great, succinct section that gets into this topic specifically…and gets into it in a way that I think buttresses my interpretation.
As I wrote in my original essay on it, one thing that been constant for the past 2,000 or so years in Jewish culture (despite some brief blips) is Jewish attachment to the holy land — territory the pious have believed their god, the Hebrew god, gave to the Jews. And connected to this core belief have been messianic dreams and prophecies that Jews will one day return to their god-given land, establish a Jewish rule there, and rejuvenate the Jewish people. It’s what I initially called “ancient zionism.” And I argued that it has been a powerful force in both secular and religious Jewish communities.
As Rachel shows, this messianic earning for Jewish return to the holy land has manifested in all sorts of ways over the years — from rabbis pining for the re-establishment of Jewish theocracy in Jerusalem but arguing for the need to stay passive, that it will be god who restores Jews to the land…to Jewish prophets and sages in Europe trying to lead Jews back to Jerusalem, even predicting the exact year that the messiah will come and reestablish Jewish rule in the holy land…all the way to militant secular zionists who rejected the religion of their ancestors and yet based their European-style nationalist claims on the very same Jewish religious books that they rejected, and who argued for wrenching a zionist state into being through action and force. What’s interesting is that regardless of the specific forms that this Jewish messianic attachment to the holy land has taken over the millennia, the attachment has always been there — sometimes passive, sometimes active, but always there.
That’s why zionism, particularly after the Jewish state was created and proved its mettle in battle, has had such power over both secular and religious Jewish culture. It tapped into something fundamental to Judaism, an idea that goes right to the base of a religion that has defined Jewish identity for 2,000 years. This ancient zionism can be ignored or re-interpreted and transferred into an abstracted spiritual realm…but it’s still there, ready to be used any time. And the idea is powerful and direct, informing a way of thinking about the world and about what it means to be holy and where a Jewish person fits into the grander scheme of things.
Anyway, enough of my own spin on things, here is the bit from her book — Messianic Zionism in the Digital Age:

Following the destruction of the Second­ Temple, Jewish messianic aspirations found expression through symbolic ritual action and prayer. Pleas for the rebuilding of the ­Temple and restoration of Israel became embedded in the liturgies that Jews pray three times a day. In the absence of a physical ­temple space, rabbinic Judaism focused on the cultivation of what Abraham Joshua Heschel referred to as “holiness in time” sacred ritual events that could be performed in a state of dislocation from the Israel and axis mundi of the ­Temple Mount. It is noteworthy, however, that abstract and symbolic notions of the ­Temple actually predate the destruction of the Second ­Temple and the advent of rabbinic Judaism.
Aspirations for a ­ future, more perfect messianic ­House of God ­were articulated in antiquity to critique corruption within Second ­Temple institutions. Rabbinic Judaism developed a ritual and textual tradition that responded to the geographic dispersal of the Jewish ­people from their holy land and the loss of a central ­ Temple. Jews could connect with divinity from anywhere in the world through Torah study, the ­ performance of mitzvot, the commandments required by Jewish Law, and daily prayers, considered to be equivalent substitutions for the animal sacrifices that once took place on the ­Temple Mount. The very absence of a physical ­Temple inspired a rich canon of Jewish thought that elaborated the symbolic and metaphysical importance of the ­ House of God. The Jewish body, for example, was imagined at times as a microscopic ­ temple, a material container for holiness that must be cultivated through ­righteous actions.
Specific ritual actions, previously enacted by Temple priests, ­were relocated onto the individual Jewish body and into the private Jewish home. For example, the ritual handwashing that Jews perform upon waking in the morning represents the actions of the high priest who would purify his hands before offering an animal sacrifice on the ­Temple Mount. Likewise, the dinner ­table inside the Jewish home came to be viewed as a symbolic ­temple “altar” for the blessing and elevation of food (to be consumed and transformed into spiritual sustenance by one’s digestive “fire”).
Mystical and macroscopic notions of the ­Temple also proliferated, beginning with post-biblical rabbinic lit­er­ature, in which the entire world was conceived as a potential ­temple and vessel for divinity to reside within. While abstracted notions of the­ temple played an impor­tant role in shaping Jewish practice, connection to and longing for the physical ­temple persisted in liturgy and ritual; for example, on Tisha B’Av (the ninth day of the month of Av) religious Jews collectively fast and mourn the destruction of the Second ­Temple while praying for its eventual rebuilding.
Rabbinic sources, including the Talmud and kabbalistic works, expanded metaphysical interpretations of the House of God, broadening it beyond its national/historical role on the ­ Temple Mount. In the early kabbalistic work Sefer Yetzirah, the ­Temple appears as part of the sacred architecture of the universe, the container through which divine creative power flows and gives rise to the material world. In addition to abstracting the ­Temple, rabbinic commentators downplayed apocalyptic visions of the end of times, developing passive and individualized approaches to redemption and the messianic era. The end of times was not something to be hastened through radical actions; instead, the initiation of the messianic era was considered a ­ matter of divine decree, or, alternatively, as contingent upon personal spiritual cultivation and gradual collective tikkun (rectification or world fixing) through pious actions. Medieval kabbalists like Isaac Luria emphasized the ability of ­ human actions to influence the divine realm; through the ­ performance of daily mitzvot and prayer Jews could collectively and slowly “raise up the divine sparks” and help draw the Shekhinah, the divine presence, back out of exile. From this perspective, the arrival of the messianic era would occur at an unrevealed time when Jewish repentance and righ­teousness would be sufficient to merit national restoration in the Land of Israel.
In tension with more passive theological orientations toward the messianic era are the acute moments of messianic fervor that punctuate Jewish medieval and modern history, including the emergence of self-­proclaimed messiahs and attempts to return to the Land of Israel.
During the seventeenth century, Jewish rabbi and kabbalist Shabbatai Tzvi claimed to be the long-­awaited Messiah who would lead Jews back to the Land of Israel. A ­ century ­later, the Gaon of Vilna, one of the most influential ranbinic figures of his time, predicted the imminent arrival of the Messiah in 1781.
The Gaon rejected the messianic passivity of his rabbinic contemporaries and defied admonitions against prematurely hastening the arrival of messianic times. Decades before the birth of the Zionist movement, he encouraged his disciples to immigrate to the Land of Israel and begin physically rebuilding a Jewish theocracy.
The birth of the Zionist movement at the end of the nineteenth ­century intensified theological debates regarding passive and active messianic attitudes as the immigration of ­European Jews to Palestine brought to the fore questions surrounding the role of practical ­ human action in initiating messianic times.
Despite the secularity of the founding Zionist ­philosophers and general lack of religious observance among ­European Jewish settlers arriving in the second and third waves of Zionist immigration, Zionist discourses in the prestate years ­were saturated with nationalist messianic tropes inspired by the Jewish prophetic tradition. Immigration to Israel to work the land through collective farming was viewed as part of an effort to redeem not only the nation but also the Jewish body and soul. Diasporic Jews would be transformed into “native” Hebrews firmly bonded to their ancestral homeland, and the biblical past became an impor­tant resource for socializing Jewish natives in Israel. The ­imagined degenerate and bookish Jew of Exile would be refashioned into a muscular, proud (European-­like) man through agricultural work and military power, resurrected in the ­imagined image of his biblical Israelite ancestors…

After talking to Rachel and reading her book, one thing I probably would have done differently in my original essay on ancient zionism is to use slightly more precise terms — in particular highlighting the distinction between Judaism (the religion that emerged after Rome’s destruction of the temple in Jerusalem) and Israelitism (the more originalist interpretation of the religion that existed before Rome razed Jerusalem), and that with the creation of a Jewish state, Judaism has been losing power while Israelitism has been on the rise. Israelitism is explicitly, unapologetically theocratic and nationalist in character and fits much more nicely with zionism. And that’s where Jewish culture is headed…

Absolutely. Well, that and just a trial balloon to measure the types and levels of “resistance” they get across the board from citizens, state and local pols, and academia. This is just the in-the-streets continuation of the war on college students and universities.
Man, if the Iran hawks get their way, and we end up in a major war with Iran, not only will the military lose, but the economy will be wiped out.
That said, I think it’s far more likely that Trump doesn’t want hot war with Iran and that he and Miller see this ICE and “antisemitism” stuff as an opportunity to save face by avoiding incredibly unpopular military embarrassment abroad and flex military strength on our streets. Kinda the Imperial Boomerang. They know they couldn’t beat the Houthis or Taliban. But a bunch of mostly unarmed “rioters” (read: mostly civil protestors goaded into violence by heavy police provocations and mistreatment) are a turkey shoot for the Marines, Army and National Guard.

On these Nat. Guard and Marine deployments. The scope and scale of these protests and eventual localized riots comes nowhere near the need for such heavy handed suppression tactics or the optics that naturally accompany them. This is as much a PR tactic as it is an intentional attempt at provocation to “justify” doubling and then tripling down, culminating in martial law. All because a few ICE agents were momentarily impeded in their warrantless work to meet a new Stephen Miller order to arrest and deport more people. They know that Biden and the “open borders” Dems deported more, and that Obama before them did. Hence this is at once a provocation and a trial run.
Let’s rile up the (shrinking) base with theatrical immigration enforcement red meat, let’s piss more people off – let’s provoke them to violence as much as possible (and do you think these fucks don’t know how to do that by now?) – and let’s test the proverbial waters to see what types and how much more can we get away with, and justify.
Yeah some Waymo cars will burn, a few Adidas and Gucci shops will be vandalized or looted, but the more the better. If agents provocateur or infiltrators can be utilized, great. If we (Palantir, any number of Zionist Entity and Deep State social media firms, etc.) can also convince the dumb black kid in Compton “hey Free Adidas!” all the better.

The Russia Ukraine part is quite the tell for me. I, too, thought there was maybe some genuine kernel of understanding on his or his cabinet’s part, and a desire to bring a lasting peace between Russia, NATO and Ukraine during the campaign. But Trump fooled me too. I never had any illusions about Trump and the Zionists – who – more than any other candidate – own him.
On that note, an important dilemma on Biden who once said “if Israel didn’t exist we’d have to create it.” Biden’s administration was totally captured by Jewish Zionist Israeli Ethnosupremacist bad actors, but MAGA and conservatives can’t have it both ways. Biden was senile AF by the time October 7 “happened.” I don’t believe for a minute that a single one of his brain cells was called into action from the beginning of 2023 to January of 2025. Ergo: he was a puppet of the Zionists only inasmuch as who he was surrounded by at that point in his cognitive decline. But Trump is surrounded by them too, as much or more, dating back to his relationship with Zionist deep state/underworld nexus agents like Roy Cohn and Sheldon Adelson.
Trump is a proud Zionist, which isn’t incompatible with saying he also recognizes a great opportunity to wield the “antisemite” horse shit as a means of exercising outsized executive powers to control speech, freedom of assembly, and culture in general. For Trump it’s about more control and revenge. His acolytes and cult members have none of the excused they did last time around. No Russiagate, no deep state moles like John Bolton or Mike Pimpeous for them to blame. His Heritage/Federalist hand-picked inner and outer circles have purged anyone remotely resembling a realist in the Middle East and all but one or two on Russia and Easter Europe, to say nothing of China-Taiwan. So what’s the excuse….THIS TIME…. for essentially trying to make anyone in, or coming to, the US pledge fealty to, and support of the Zionist Entity in the name of fighting “antisemitism”?
Not like he doesn’t have plenty of help, including from hard core anti-MAGA TDS factions in the media, academia, and those still embedded in government.
But to the notion that the Dems, Silicon Valley and the deep state were attempting to usurp constitutional rights and control the narrative through shadowy but well heeled foundations and institutes and think tanks. Yep, Taibbi and others exposed the “Misinformation Industrial Complex” but then, what to make of Trump and Thiel and/or Karp (Palantir) and the newfound brolove relationships with the same exact Silly Cone Valley firms, by now completely staffed up at all higher levels with Zionist cyphers and “former” IDF/Mossad Unit 8200 actors?
I’m way off on a tangent now, considering the original subject of social order in the US and the perceptions of the legitimacy of our Madisonian governmental institutions (3 branches). The Demorats are rightly perceived positively by only something like 25% of the population – a fact that gives lie to any notion that polls are are carefully manipulated by liberals, or in the parlance of Trumpist Reverse TDS morons ‘the left’.
TL/DR: This country is fucked, Trump will hasten the pain and decline both internationally and domestically and I didn’t even touch his ridiculous roller coaster ride of trade and tariffs. For those of you in Canada and elsewhere: Getcha popcorn ready and hope that the kernels don’t pop in nanoseconds just by being exposed to the atmosphere in the near future.

Yes, on surface appearance Israel could get away with a nuclear first strike. However, because of the utter destructiveness of nuclear weapons, anyone indulging in their first use is going to be generally hated, leading to a lot of further political consequences that are unknown and will probably be not beneficial to the perpetrators. This is what has held back all the nuclear powers from using these weapons since 1945, even the utterly arrogant and dominationist US political elite. Many, many US militarists and planners have wanted to use nuclear weapons, as documented by James Carroll in House of War: The Pentagon and the Disastrous Rise of American Power. But they have been held back by the evil of the first use conundrum. This is why they seem to be trying to goad Russia into using nuclear weapons, both so they can blame Russia but also so they can then use nuclear weapons in second use, not first use.
The other thing is that Israel has no intention of attacking Iran itself; it only wants to sic the US on Iran. Iran is not really any threat to Israel, and it is doubtful whether Iran even has the intention of acquiring nuclear weapons. If Iran did get nuclear weapons, it would just mean that Israel wouldn’t be able to attack Iran, but then, Israel isn’t attacking Iran directly anyway. Rather, Israel wants the US to attack Iran in order to destroy the possibility of any peaceful relations between the US and the Muslim world so that pro-Israel warmongers can maintain their grip on US foreign policy. This is why the US hasn’t already attacked Iran, because the harmful consequences for the US are so obvious, even though Israel usually has gotten its way with the US.

You proclaim that zionism isnt really due to Great Britains elites (according to what I have found since the 1500s)
amd you like many others want the zionist entity to be a separate power.
That is a commonly occurring form of denial upheld by constantly looking the other way. Not even trying to learn.
The anglosaxon culture dominates and lies perpetually.
I am not mainly blaming the anglosaxons because the information should be sought by other nations intelligentia instead of everybody being so damned subservient.
You do what seems favourable to your own comfort.

There is truth in what you say, Peter. But the way up is the way down. Following Russia’s path is not a bad thing to be doing. Putin has already pointed that out, by the way.

The FEW Old Owners have decided to hand the disaster to the German peoples – willing scapegoats again! It seems.
The old ziofascist created AngloEuropean imperial nexus of Swedes, Italians, Spanish, French, Dutch and British and their perennially ‘dumb pollacks and idiot house slavs’ are apparently throwing the idiot Germans under the bus again – a mad charge into the Russian canons – out of spite, at failing yet again to take Russia.
The shapeshifter Great Gamers – lose again at the Game they started!
Just like England never again being able to win a World Cup at football, or cricket or rugby (though I have hopes of a Farrell managed team doing so next WC if he is willing…)
It’s not easy when everyone also learns to play and are naturally better at it! Lol.
Brazil, Mexico, Africans …Wait till nextgen Chinese youth learn that way to riches and fame and celebrity.
The only way to not lose was not to let anyone else play.
Or now – NOT TO PLAY!
Or love to lose; play and never care about being the loser.
Never complain, just enjoy the status of always being the loser.
These are the choices available to the occupied German peoples slave mentality, sacrificial minions. Same applies to the Japanese and to some extent the subcontinentals and the final brick in ‘Fortress Europe’ (the forefather of Borrell’s GARDEN).
The FEW shapeshifter Money creators latest khokol nazi banderist proxies are beaten and are heading for choosing to be rubble, instead of a sensible unconditional surrender.
That would be followed by truth and reconciliation.
But no, they intend to burn the whole place down. Instead of letting it progress finally with the much delayed single EurAsian continent it has always been part of, before the schism. If WE the peoples of Europe dumbly let them do it AGAIN.
They have already moved their industries and ‘brands’ to the now daily more rancid ‘New World’ USA, currently being readied for total control of their slaves the neoreligion loser golden billion minion world. Thinking that such Names of Businesses will retain value that they will be avble to trade with the ‘outside World’.
It’s delusion on a stick.
A neutered, blinded, dumbed down weakling transhuman Waster era, on a ‘fantasy continental island’ of North America, worshipping their few SuperMen dynastic families. Until that new new Camelot too collapses under the inbred, dead end, mad as hatters petty Caesars. But the fascist imperium and control by their TechBro secret police praetorians being rushed into deployment. The great secret weapons! AI/ID and Thought Crime punishments.
It has already showed its rancid ankles – all the scions who couldn’t think themselves out of a wet paper bag but are worshipped by the minions for being geniuses! Examples such as Bozo the clown king of England, unelected EUrocrat Nazis and the Princeling Soros jnr. Etc.
As for the Old Europe? It is now clear the zioifascist idiot kings are really planning to turn it into a pile of ashes! Expecting to emerge from their deep lairs nextcentury, to take a depopulated world. They are MAD as hell and they don’t care what the rest of us think!
We are just mere slaves, animals, they can destroy at a whim, for sport, for fun …
They’ll burn down the mythical European Garden split a thousand years ago from EurAsia – finally realising they just can’t ever win against the ancient cradles of civilisations.
Which they feasted upon as tribal logisticscal experts; then shapeshifted out of these great silk, spice roads, by becoming the greatest slavers of Slavs.
Their ONLY unique civilisational invention being Money/Credit.
Its Magic properties. Which they demand is theirs alone.
So begins the final Tolkienesque journey of their imaginary mythical greatselves, the fantasy super beings. The supposed ZioKings of the World, to rule over their fellow humanity.
Using their fabricated ‘magic rings’ of Religion, monarchies, contracts, Rules for us not them, and countless neoreligions – from Capitalism to Marxism/Communism to the current saviour complexes and trans befuddlement, Fear of Others – to control the deluded punchdrunk masses.
Just simple Fascism really.
That Tolkien story ended with the World returning to Man, who remained constant in their humanity as they had for eons – steadily improving civilisations by nurturing, inventing, improving the Human Condition – the MANY.

This is no class war. This is the old Big Finance faction of the imperial oligarchy manipulating lumpen proles into burning their own neighborhoods to spite Trump. Apparently some people’s TDS is too overpowering of their intellect for them to see that.

Jesus, how dumb you have to be to believe that complete bullshit William ?
It’s unconstitutional to walk into home depot and start taking people off the street like a bunch of Nazis who are in the US legally.
If they arrested you on that street to deport you how would you act you dummy. It is your intelligence that is a ground zero here as you continue to defend unconstitutional behaviour. Make up complete fairy tales to defend Trump.

Social media is rife with reports that Trump is in the early stages of dementia – he’s been spotted wearing a catheter under his trousers, a “Foley catheter. Urinary incontinence is a symptom of late stage Prefrontal Temporal Dementia.”
If its true – these are the characterisations of it.
“Frontotemporal dementia is characterised by abnormal protein clumps within brain cells, thought to impair their function significantly.
This condition can result in alterations to personality, behaviour, and communication abilities, including language and speech.
Incontinence in individuals with this type of dementia may be due to a range of symptoms such as disinhibition, compulsive actions, distractibility, and reduced self-awareness.
A Foley catheter is used to drain urine from the bladder into an external collection bag.”

I watched an interview of the Australian reporter shot in the leg with a rubber bullet.She said there were small crowds and she had been walking with them, then in late afternoon, there was suddenly thousands on the streets.
Sounds like an organized riot.

Shrill hysteria from the Magic Money Tree dembot @82 confirms my claim that the riots are manufactured.
Of course, there is also the Associated Press and CNN and so on listing the times and locations for this weekend’s festivities as solid proof the riots are manufactured. Answer honestly now, when was the last time the capitalist mass media advertised for a ”protest event” in that manner? I mean, other than the riots in 2020, which were also manufactured by the Establishment?

Re: Riots or Insurrection ?
If this expands through the weekend, the it starts counting as an insurrection.
Cholo Gang Bangers are fairly organized. Gunfire doesn’t phase them. They’ll relish rumbling with chubby SWAT paramilitaries used to killing unarmed children. I’m guessing the gang bangers have already deployed “neighborhood watch” squads 24/7.

This is my understanding as well. While the Israel idea existed at the periphery of Judaism, the Jews did not want to leave their prosperous lives in European cities to move to the dessert. Why would they? Fortunately for the Zionists, Hitler happened to come along and made their dreams possible. He had impeccable timing really, just as the world was shifting entirely to oil.

India Boeing Dreamliner crash in Ahmedebad.
Any suspicions of geopolitical implications?
I’ll get the ball rolling. Tin foil hats at the ready.
Both Modi and Jaishankar are from the Gujarat region.
Ahmedabad is their main city and backyard.
Full of hospitals with international patients in and out.
Major business interests.
Home of many of the worlds richest Indian diaspora.
Not playing ball with the ZioFascist imperial suicidal escalation plans as it faces the end of hegemony?
Have a slap.
Hit on Boeing too.
Expect b’s on the case.

Yes. From the reading I did, WZO and the group that formed prior in Ukraine/ eastern Europe split the Jewish population. I think there was several large groups opposing one wanting assimilation and the other what was called cultural Zionism (I think it was two groups rather than both being one and the same) I think that opposition lasted until Hitlers Germany.
