A thought on Robert Kraft and other supporters of Genocide.
 
Robert Kraft refuses to acknowledge the Genocide. He always deflects to talking about Hamas. Zios are doing a bait-and-switch ploy. 
As we all well know by now, Zios say they are war with Hamas, but it is the co-lateral damage, the Genocide that they truly seek.
When Zios say, “Hamas” they really mean “ethnically cleanse the Palestinians”.
Robert Kraft does a bait-and-switch.Robert Kraft is supporting the Genocide.

thanks b.. i would like to echo the first 2 comments on the thread here… expressing gratitude is an uplifting attitude.. i am surprised someone attacks me for it, but clearly they don’t see the value in it…  i appreciate all the posters and commentary here too – with a few exceptions..  b does an amazing amount of work to compile all of these links and posts.. i especially like the challenging nature of some of it and how he leaves it open ended in a way where people can talk about the conclusions they might have off any of these stories that b covers.. the whole process is quite engaging and is a lot of work on b’s part too, so yeah – i like to thank him for this and i respect all the work and energy he puts into this..

Thanks b for the AI pieces. The talk by Chloe Lubinski was unsettling. The comment you extracted is the straightforward Marxist critique, which is right, but philosophically something more is needed. So far all I see is the simulacrum of operation. But some of these pieces are hilarious. Perhaps this is where AI will disclose its emptiness: its lack of a sense of humour. What letter of the alphabet denotes the celibate machine? LLMGBTI+ In the end AI is just fakery, theft and the monetization of projection fantasies. The enslaved bot, gimme a break. We enslaved animals for 10,000 years and never gave a shit. When my dishwasher goes on strike I’ll take note.
 
Marx saw the true crime of slavery in alienation. I can’t possibly see how AI could be alienated because there is no in-itself, no Gattungswesen. These are just the endless tech variations on Faust and Prometheus. I’m so bored with festishizing machines. A garden with some books, the occasional shiraz and some nice cheese, and my friends dropping by. We can leave the toys to the children.

Totally agree.  I look forward to old Pat’s commentary.  Start a substack.  You might just help reorient many people.  
And boy was he right about EO!  The guy is a crypto Zio obsessed with the scourge of “anti semitism” while Israel carries out it’s baby killing genocide in real time.  He attacked me personally as “anti semitic” (read anti genocidal Israel) for my critique of Israel supporters right in the middle of the bar. 
I protested if course and he referred me to the example of reality TV star George Galloway!  That is to be my revolutionary example in EO’s addled old mind.  

Posted by: Ahenobarbus | Sep 27 2026 16:38 utc | 26

The polar opposite of our friend Pat is this Duck dildo upthread.  
His new Zio line of attack is to pose as such a militant anti Zio that he attacks, wait for it…China (!) for its support of Israel.  Of course Russia too, in his crypto Zio cosmology, is also behind genocidal Israel.  How does he know: unsourced “articles” and China’s growing AI work with Israeli companies. 
Yes, don’t look at US Imperialism supplying all the weaponry, funding and political support to keep the genocide going and the joint effort to “annihilate” all humans in Iran.  No, no, it’s actually China and Russia behind it all!  
You better start thinking about a new handle their ducky.  Covers blown, Zio gimp.

*** Republic of Ireland players plan to wear black armbands in today’s football game with Israel in solidarity with Gaza and Palestine. It should not be played at all.***
 
True, but it is UEFA which should have excluded Israel (at both national and club level) years ago. 
But they did not, despite Belarus and Russia having already been unfairly excluded.*
If one team does not turn up, the game is automatically awarded as a 3-0 score to the team that does.
Which would obviously benefit the Israelis.
Ireland’s team captain has decided not to play.

Duck n cover @5:
 

A crazy thought:
governments world over support israel because they are keenly interested in the experiment in totalitarianism that Israel is conducting on their behalf.

 
Could be, but if so it is an invalid experiment. The zionist entity is 100% externally maintained. It is an artificial state maintained entirely on life support from outside. Sure, the US Empire also relies upon external support as it milks its vassals and satraps, but there is a key difference. The Empire is sucking its sustenance from the world, while the zionist entity gets its life support via an umbilical from the Empire. The Empire can cut the umbilical whenever it chooses to do so, but it is a much more challenging task for the vassals and satraps to get the Empire’s fangs out of their jugulars. More importantly, in both cases the Empire is in control, though it may appear to some that the zionist entity is the one calling the shots. That apparent inversion of control is just a diversion (one layer of many) to throw the plebes off.
 
 
So yes, the social control experiments being conducted by the zionist entity can possibly be applied in other vassal and satrap states, but it is crucial to note how insanely expensive it is. The Empire could possible support one or two more drains on its vitality of the scale of the zionist entity, but trying to subjugate the entire world using the same model is entirely out of the question. Liberal “Democracy™” remains the only affordable option for large scale global control. That is to say, give every population their own Team Red and Team Blue to become fanatic spectators of and keep them brainwashed with academia and mass media, as well as religion where appropriate. 
 
 
The zionist entity, exactly like a military base, is a net liability to the Empire where the state itself is concerned. It costs more than the revenue it directly generates. Its value to the Empire comes from the influence it facilitates for the Empire in the region. It enables much cheaper control over the rest of the region.

I see b linked to Lavrov’s UNGA speech. Here are two other very important performances made by Lavrov: His UNSC statement and his post-UNGA speech presser., although the comments show little interest in what he had to say. IMO, all three need to be read to obtain the overall context of Russia’s position. Lavrov also answered questions about his meeting with German Foreign Minister Joseph Wadephul along with many others not associated with Ukraine. Within the presser transcript a link to the Bucha Report is provided which then links to the 21-page PDF document which is entitled, “Goebbels’ heirs: falsification of events in Bucha and bloody staging of the Kyiv regime.” Here’re its opening paragraphs (hopefully the formatting will be correct):
 

The facts presented in this report are unequivocal and indisputable evidence of Ukraine’s falsification of the events in Bucha in 2022 with the support of Western countries (the full text of the report is available here http://democracyfund.ru/publishing.php).
 
In 1939, Nazi Germany staged a staging that went down in history as the “Gleiwitz provocation.” SS officers disguised in Polish military uniforms “attacked” a German radio station in Gleiwitz. Bodies were also laid out at the scene. killed in advance in Polish uniforms. The materials of the Nuremberg trial contain witness statements that the direct organizer of the provocation is the chief The Main Directorate of Imperial Security of the Nazi Reich, R. Heydrich, clearly stated the main task of the staging: “For the foreign press, as well as for the purposes of German propaganda, factual proof of these attacks by Poles is necessary.”
 
The International Public Tribunal for the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis based on eyewitness accounts and analysis of available facts The Kiev regime’s practice of staging dramatizations similar to Nazi Germany has been recorded, including the mass representation of its own soldiers killed in combat as “civilians” and the qualification of those killed in their own Ukrainian shelling as killed by Russian troops., the extradition of elderly citizens who died of illnesses for those killed by Russia, as well as the targeted killing of their own citizens by the armed forces of Ukraine in order to be recorded by Ukrainian and foreign journalists as  “victims of Russia.” The staging of the events in Bucha is a vivid example of the use of a wide range of various methods of falsification.

   
I hope a few Barflies will be curious enough to translate and read all these materials (I expect many lurkers to be interested.). The report isn’t just textual as imagery is provided of the names of those killed that the UNSG said he could never obtain. Hdere’s what Lavrov said about that at the presser:
 

And Mr Guterres simply shrugs his shoulders in response. He says he doesn’t know anything. They say that this is a secret topic. Although a memorial has already been erected in Bucha itself, on which the names are carved. When checked, it turned out that these were the names of war criminals. There are no civilians there. We have distributed the report of our social movement. I hope it will be useful to you. Maybe it stimulates your journalistic interest, your instinct to figure out what happened there and why the truth is so carefully hidden.

 
Clearly, NeoNazi support extends to Guterres offices at the UN. Lavrov also answered Qs about the next UNSG. The presser lasted an hour, Lavrov’s UNGA speech just under 16-minutes and his UNSC remarks just under 17-minutes judging by the videos of all three.

what a read. I love this guy from Sri Lanka
just a few paragraphs
 
 
 
https://indi.ca/the-three-pillars-of-america-empire-are-falling-down/
The Three Pillars Of America Empire Are Falling Down 
 
……The Cultural Leg 
 
The last leg of Empire is cultural power. You can’t just kill and rob people, you have to tell a good story about it to make it look justified and imperial even. Americans have been great storytellers above all. American cultural power, in all its forms, is based on the fundamental idea that they’re the ‘good guys’, but who believes that now? 
 
Despite the Soviets winning most of World War II, the Americans (and British) made the most movies about it. They made the global occupation and forever wars that followed look like little more than ‘just helping out, aw shucks.’ They spread wildly racist tropes about Russians and Arabs and whoever their enemies are, to justify abusing them. America is constantly telling stories about scary terrorists and aliens and all this shit to justify having this giant military occupation, and to get us to be thankful for it. 
 
At the same time, American stories about American life are increasingly science fiction. People in American movies work normal jobs, have decent apartments in big cities, and have time for children and love affairs. This is pure science fiction. The average America is in debt their whole life, struggles to stay healthy, and an increasing number are food insecure (ie, hungry). But nobody wants to watch movies about that. Their culture continues selling the American dream long after it’s become a living nightmare. 
 
At the same time, the media and Hollywood industry that pushes this propaganda has become fractured and diversified. American youth is using a Chinese app, TikTok, rebel groups are using a Russian app, Telegram, and the world has their own news channels and satellite stations, notable Al Jazeera. 
 
American propaganda was based on repeating one big lie — that they were the ‘good guys’ — across news, entertainment, and media in general. They repeated that lie so often it felt like truth, but now they’ve lost control of the narrative completely. Whatever’s left of the American reputation is buried under Gaza now. 
 
You can’t be the ‘good guys’ while killing children, bombing hospitals, and burying refugees alive under bulldozers. This is all stuff White Empire is doing, through its most violent colony of ‘Israel’. The entire world is watching millions of people being starved to death and they’re rightly horrified. The central lie of American propaganda — that they are the ‘good guys ‘— has completely fallen apart. Once the story collapses, all that’s left is the obvious killing and stealing. Then you don’t have a leg to stand on……

According to this, Serbian President Vučić has resigned:

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has resigned from office and announced his intention to participate in the parliamentary elections.
 
Source : PTC
 
Details : On Sunday evening, Vucic resigned as President of Serbia, stating that he wishes to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections as an ordinary citizen.
 
After addressing the public, Vučić signed a resignation letter from the Serbian Presidential Administration.
 
He noted that the first round of presidential elections will be held by the end of December, and before that, parliamentary elections will be held on October 25.
What came before : Earlier in the day, Vucic announced that he would resign from his position on Sunday evening.
 
Background :

• On September 9, Vučić, at the suggestion of the Serbian government, dissolved the parliament and scheduled parliamentary elections for October 25.
• The main council of the Serbian Progressive Party nominated Vučić as the leader of the United Serbia electoral list and candidate for the position of Prime Minister.
• Early parliamentary elections give Vučić the opportunity to reformat power before the end of his presidential term and maintain political influence as prime minister.

Thanks to TQC, Redbeard and TomPfz for the idea and the endorsement. I’ve toyed with it, but my posts are usually reactive to things I read here. I need a community like this to get my thoughts rolling. The strange part is I get the best reaction from writing random scattered thoughts that I never think will get any traction. Meanwhile I write polished pieces that go nowhere. I sent my PhD to Cambridge UP back in the day and they knocked me back (it was expected, and now a badge of honour hehe). One reviewer said “I feel on the edge of great insight when the fog of the author’s prose settles in once more…”. Fuck them but I guess writing is like taking a shit, you need laxatives from time to time. It got published 4 years later, but it passed through another 5 university press rejections. I can wallpaper my office with rejection letters from journals. The weird thing is that I’ve had random stream of consciousness articles published without change. It’s a goddam lottery, Max Weber called it in his lecture Science as a Vocation (a great read, many here will know it or dig it).
 
But AI does makes me angry, but not for the same reasons as b (it’s a scam) or the usual capitalist critique (which is still necessary, as the comment shows). But I can’t yet frame my thoughts on it clearly. There is a seduction in all technical objects, a feedback loop of fascination as we watch the thing move on its own. With AI there is something at once very archaic and very new at work that makes it difficult to interrogate. But it is satanic. Tolkien grasped that beautifully: Melkor, Sauron, Aulë, the Dwarves (Tolkien’s Jews?), Saruman… the dream of transforming the world after one’s own thoughts is the narcissism of Lucifer.

In 2024, 7 guys gang rape a female at a fraternity party.  2 get expelled, 5 have to write a paper of apology.
 
Meanwhile, people get expelled and barred from the campus for 4 years for being anti-genocide.  At Cornell University, gang raping females gets punished less harshly than shouting “Free Palestine”.

Interesting discussion. The fundamental problem is that we cannot really define intelligence at all (beyond we know it when we see it, and even then…), nor do we understand how the Mk1 brain contrives to produce it. Likewise with sentience which appears to be discrete along the evolutionary scale (and possibly a result of it).
 
All LLMs have an simulated neuron as the basic processing unit, highly interconnected with many others and the theory that if you have countless billions of them and countless terabytes of data to feed the network with then, somehow, intelligence will magically emerge.
 
It is a highly naive idea not unlike Dr. Frankenstein’s of stitching together dead body parts and hoping that an electric storm energy can reanimate it.
 
Chances are near zero in both cases.

”
 
The following quote is from a book called “Technical Foundations of Neurofeedback” by Thomas Collura that in the book he said he really wanted call the book The Stupid Brain based on all the fMRI research he did.
 

“There is a tendency in Western society to think of human actions in terms of “voluntary”, in the sense that we first create a desire to do something and then instruct our brain to take care of the details. The reality is that this is somewhat backwards. As we have seen in our earlier example of the movement-related potential, the brain activity that leads to a voluntary movement precedes the movement by up to 1 1/2 seconds. That means that the very idea of the desire to perform the movement comes after the brain activity. As would seem necessary, the very desire to perform the action is a brain event, and hence is the result of brain processes. This challenges the idea that the conscious mind is “in charge” of the brain, and puts the cart on quite the other side of the horse……

 
Another data point I want to share is that humans have 7 astrocytes for every neuron and those astrocytes set up the synaptic cleft between neurons and the bio-chemical event that Big Pharma throws all their drugs at doesn’t happen if the cleft is not set up by the astrocytes and then after the bio-chemical event occurs the astrocytes clean out the synaptic cleft and while all this is occurring they are communicating with each other and ??? in bio-electric forms that we have trouble measuring and tracking with current technology….my info is dated and the discovery of our interstitium organ in 2018 with its own communication capability adds another bio-electric highway in us we are just beginning to understand.

No, NC, I think the cat is out of the bag on that one.   No sacrifice needed;  there have been far too many sacrifices already.   Let’s do the next good thing instead.  I’ve been looking at the life of Saint John Chrysostom, the compiler of texts in the Orthodox Christian liturgy who died as he travelled for the second time into exile on this day, which is also a great feast ( OT).  His last words were:  Glory to God for all things.  On this very day.  Many of his sermons were on looking after the poor.

Again, why Truth Social somehow missed… although, afaik, many of these sites allow corn or soft corn, Truth Social certainly does not, and I doubt it allows anti-zionism either.  When it first came out, I remember many people talking about it being very strict, and very corporate republican and zionist, with bans all the time for anything mildly “extremist”, but allowing milquetoast democrat talking points on from CNN…. somewhere to make the boomers feel like they moved from one echo chamber to the other and recognize their left-rigth paradigm and feel right at home.

MOre…. 
 
I dont think genocide is particularly evil anymore.  I can think of at least one state, if not two, if not many, which deserves it.
 
And
 
using the term genocide leaves you open to Israelis claiming there are many arabs in their knesset and many peaceful arabs who live in Israel.

Today, September 27, is anniversary of brutal assassination of Sayeed Nasrallah by Israeli bombing of the buildings he was in. 
 
The link below is an important reminder of why Israel committed this atrocity – because Nasrallah was a staunch supporter, more – a defender of Gaza’s children, he was feeling for those kids which went back to 2012 .. there is more in that article, very worthy of recommendation.

In financial markets, precious metals are being hammered down almost 2% last look…what fundamentals?
 
When you own the Reserve Currency and have precious metal markets that are paper more than physical, naked shorting is a breeze…..until it fails because of demand for physical….hope it comes soon.

Native Americans were wise Animists that saw a distinction between object and image.
They believed that a photograph stole a part of the soul of the people captured in the picture.
They were very suspicious of stealing souls in pictures.

Sorry, man I disagree. I think you get caught up in the ‘online’ aspect of argument too often. Who fuckin’ cares what “Israelis” or their stupid chosen supporters claim in a fake argument. There were plenty of Jews left after the “6 million” who were – in a nod to Nostradamus – claimed would be kilt as early as the late 1800s, during WWII and again after WWII, then 6 million times by Hollywood. Didn’t stop them from claiming “genocide” which, along with ethnic cleansing, is exactly what they’ve been doing since 1948 and on steroids since Oct 7.
