In thinking more about this, the title here is a sad misnomer as it's not "Campus Chaos" we should be discussing - that's an unfortunate misdirection - but it's "Campus Actions Against Colonialism & Killing in Palestine" & our support or rejection of that as US taxpayers/voters. Wars continue with our support & when we all withdraw financial support & refuse to fight & die in the wars, then the wars will end.
The MSM & some in the altie press usually hide any raw critiques of US funding of Israel's colonialism/killing (since 1948 & over the decades of its existence) & mislabel critiques as "anti-semitism" when strong arguments are made against US tax dollars supporting a cruel, apartheid Is/Pal control system.
We should know that If we don't ALL rise up to support justice, equity, love & compassion for ALL, at ALL times, then we're each of us spiritually bankrupt & sick in our minds & souls. Clearly, the campus protests are calling for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing killing campaign against Palestinians & asking for the divestiture of any CU funds related to Israel. There is no other way to stop the killing. :/
It's not unusual for university campuses to support social justice issues. Previously, campuses spoke up against racial segregation, students rode buses to the South for Civil Rights Marches, protested against the South African apartheid system & petitioned for cleaning up the toxic chemical environment, etc. And so speaking out for equality/civil rights in Israel/Palestine is the very same issue of equity/rights.
History shows us that all peoples dispossessed of their lands are first "conquered" by force & then rounded up into areas away from the newly predominant elites/class. They are also mocked/dismissed by the ruling govt for their cultural differences & are universally treated badly. Many times they are sent to be "re-educated" into the "new civilization" (taken forcefully & required to change their clothing/traditions) as young Natives experienced in Native "boarding schools" out west.
Native reservations, Medieval Jewish ghettos, German concentration camps, African apartheid colonies, US schools segregation/urban/real estate neighborhood red-lining/jobs segregation by sex/race, etc. It's all variations on the same control narratives & it all makes one's heart hurt to think of it.
Related to this, an article on two brilliant thinkers (& personal heroes of mine) on the resistance to US segregation (from 1972) & the history of Palestine resistance to colonialism/land control (from 1994):
"Intellectual Resistance and Identity in the Works of Edward Said and James Baldwin"
"In his groundbreaking 1994 book, Representations of the Intellectual, Edward Said [Professor from Columbia University btw] artfully establishes a compelling connection between the political paths of African Americans and his own resolute advocacy for Palestinian self-determination. Said reflects, “there can be little doubt that influential figures such as Baldwin and Malcolm X have significantly shaped my own understanding of the intellectual’s role. It is the ethos of resistance, rather than conformity, that resonates with me because… the essence of intellectual endeavor lies in challenging the prevailing system at times when advocacy for marginalized and disadvantaged communities is overwhelmingly impeded.”
"Said further explains how his involvement in Palestinian issues has profoundly deepened these convictions, offering a deeply personal insight into his ideological development."
"In his 1972 work, No Name in the Street, James Baldwin offers a poignant reflection of his time in Paris, serving partially as a memoir. He draws an evocative comparison between his self-imposed exile and the experiences of North African migrants in the city. Baldwin notes, “The Arabs were together in Paris, but the American blacks were alone… I will not say that I envied them, for I didn’t, and the directness of their hunger, or hungers, intimidated me; but I respected them, and as I began to discern what their history had made of them, I began to suspect, somewhat painfully, what my history had made of me”. His introspective analysis beautifully captures the intricate dynamics of identity, displacement, and community among diasporic groups."
"From 1966 to 1979, Baldwin’s writings on Palestine solidify an emerging understanding of the region’s colonial history as a critical aspect of Western imperialism. His perspective, described by Said as “Zionism from the standpoint of its victims” (Said, “Zionism”), frames Zionism as a symbol of the broader historical project of European and Western colonial rule. Baldwin’s insights provide a valuable lens through which the Israel–Palestine conflict can be viewed, enriching our comprehension of its deep-rooted complexities."
"Together, these works by Said and Baldwin not only delve into the struggles faced by marginalized communities but also explore the role of intellectuals in advocating for change and understanding across cultural and political divides."
FYI
"In 1963, Said joined Columbia University as a member of the English and Comparative Literature faculties, where he taught and worked until 2003. He lectured at more than 200 other universities in North America, Europe, and the Middle East."
And James Baldwin, the brilliant writer, was "an American writer and civil rights activist who garnered acclaim for his essays, novels, plays, and poems. His 1953 novel Go Tell It on the Mountain has been ranked among the best English-language novels. His 1955 essay collection Notes of a Native Son helped establish his reputation as a voice for human equality. Baldwin was a well-known public figure and orator, especially during the civil rights movement in the United States."

some of what you say here seems to be correct,although in the main you seem to be spouting the Zionist party line.But here's something from Peter Koenig to back up some of it:https://www.globalresearch.ca/way-new-palestine/5858264
Food for thought: As billionaires go, Soros is not that wealthy. If he were to face a class action lawsuit on behalf of everyone whose degree progress was negatively affected by this protest, that could hurt a man even as wealthy as he is.
I would be very interested in lawyer's thoughts on this idea. Has Soros properly insulated himself legal liability? One thing that shocks me is that there were not more class actions taken during Soros's last "party" in 2020 given the huge amounts of property damage done. However, given the size of tuition payments and potential lost earnings among these students as well as the emotional distress, I think Soros could get right and goodly screwed here. (Do you count it based on their first year's salary or the average salary over the course of their careers, or their last productive year's salary?)
These protests have easily caused economic damages worth Soros's total net worth many times over. What lawyer wouldn't want that multi-billion dollar settlement? Of course, we need to make sure the firm that files this is ideologically with us so they go after Soros's and his various "non-profits" ability to operate forever.
The Ukrainian Flag Waving:
Also, regarding the Ukraine flag, I am sorry to have to disagree with you on this one, but I don't think that is the same thing as what the protestors did when removing the US flag. Taking down a flag to put another up is an act of conquest. Displaying two flags together is a sign of friendship. Diplomatic history is filled with joint displays of flags.
There are other occasions on which the US has displayed other nation's flags. The German flag during German reunification. The Chinese flag for the former Chinese president's visit during 2006, Hu Jintao. The Argentine flag for Pope Francis's 2015 visit. And, while they aren't nations, the UN flag in 1945 and the NATO flag in 2019.
Flying two flags alongside each other in a display of alliance and friendship is so common there are rules governing how this is done.
Last week, The Washington Post exposed a scandal involving U.S. billionaires and officials collaborating with the Zionist occupation to pay NYC’s Mayor Adams to deploy the NYPD against students at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment and Hind’s Hall.
U.S. billionaires, along with Minouche Shafik and the Board of Trustees, are behind the NYPD’s assault against those resisting Columbia’s support for the Zionist genocide in Gaza - we will hold them accountable.
Fueled by our love for Palestine and our community, the Palestinian liberation movement will remain steadfast and victorious as a people’s movement against Zionism, fascist politicians, the militarized IOF-NYPD, and state-sponsored terrorism. Join us to demand accountability and protest the Zionist entity’s chokehold on Mayor Adams, the IOF-NYPD, & Columbia University.
What a terrifying scenario! I’m left wondering when you think this could occur - after a Trump landslide so that he becomes the bad guy imposing martial law? Or before the election so that the ‘Jo 90 million votes at 4am’ scenario plays out?
FYI Prof Thrasher - Gaza Solidarity Camps - Literary Hub reposted - Jonny Diamond @JonnyDiamond · 1h - Mainstream distortions about the campus protests have been infuriating...
@lithub article
Prof Steven Thrasher (Northwestern University):
"The shared goals of these encampments—to divest from an apartheid state and end the genocide in Gaza—are not anything to be ashamed about."
"In the four encampments I have visited, it has felt so good to not have to pretend—as so many universities, publications and politicians seem to want us to—that everything is fine and we must just get back to normal by pretending what is happening isn’t happening. Everyone knows police could come in at any second and beat the shit out of them; but they know what’s happening in Gaza is far worse, and so they’re willing to take the risk."
"As a professor, it has felt good to pick up trash with my students, and to learn about how to roll a keffiyeh or sing Pesach songs with them. For all four encampments I visited erased a lot of divisions: between young students and old teachers; between faculty and staff; between Jews, Muslims and Christians; between formal members of a university community and our neighbors; between students of different universities (and their peers who don’t go to college)."
"Like the the Poor People’s Campaign Martin Luther King was planning when he was killed in 1968 (which was supposed to be a shanty town encampment of white, Black and Chicano poor people on the National Mall) the Gaza solidarity encampments have been a taste of what might be possible when everyone freely gets what they need—and when people unite across divisions to share shabbat, salah, and a demand to end war."
Even as we recognize that "the empire" & its lackeys are attempting to infiltrate/sabotage/destroy & turn the US against these students & their encampments, we must all support them & their anti-war, anti-genocide, anti-human & anti-zionist goals/objectives. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
The name "Israel" is still confusing many people. If, in your mind, you call that country by its real name, "Rothschildistan", the situation in the Middle East and in the world becomes easier to understand.
Maxgrau - Love meme parody that can transmit the point across w/an image & a few words. Your comment reminded me of this: "If you can poke royalty on their chest like they're your ....."
That meme is good, but it only conveys the idea on the political level. The point which is more important to me is that the Globalists control the 3 monotheistic religions, including Judaism, as their political project is contained and mirrored in the Jewish Bible.
"Never forget", the colonialist/imperialist m.o. is to subjugate/rape/kill the women & kids of a conquered nation AND also change a nation's name. :/ Sound familiar? So... not really or only a "religious" thing at all, but simply an imperialist, power move. Of course, later, "religion & missionaries" are used to keep recalcitrant/unwilling "natives" in line w/Bible brain-washing, i.e. "White Man's God is superior" or "God's chosen" & "God's will" etc etc.
CounterPunch article re: how the state of Israel came to be in 1947 > The Real Story of How Israel Was Created -11 Oct 2011 - by Alison Weir.
To better understand the Palestinian bid for membership in the United Nations, it is important to understand the original 1947 UN action .on Israel-Palestine ...
excerpt: "The passage of the General Assembly recommendation [1947] sparked increased violence in the region. Over the following months the armed wing of the pro-Israel movement, which had long been preparing for war, perpetrated a series of massacres and expulsions throughout Palestine, implementing a plan to clear the way for a majority-Jewish state."
"It was this armed aggression, and the ethnic cleansing of at least three-quarters of a million indigenous Palestinians, that created the Jewish state on land that had been 95 per cent non-Jewish prior to Zionist immigration and that even after years of immigration remained 70 per cent non-Jewish. And despite the shallow patina of legality its partisans extracted from the General Assembly, Israel was born over the opposition of American experts and of governments around the world, who opposed it on both pragmatic and moral grounds."
Thanks for the link, I know Alison Weir and her book "Against our better judgement" is part of my personal library. But unfortunately, her activist approach seeing Israel as a "colonial project" seems to prevent her from realizing that "Rothschildistan" is the spearhead of the globalist project. Rothschild is historically the head of the Illuminati and the recipient of the Balfour Declaration, but that conspiratorial society also included A. Weishaupt, head of Freemasonry, and Jakob Frank who turned Judaism into the Illuminati religious instrument that it is today with Chabad.
She rightfully criticises the Jewish messianism promoted by Chabad, but doesn't seem to see that the messianic era fervently promoted by both the Zionists and the Chabadniks, and being prepared with "Noahidism" as the future "global" religion, coincides timely and ideologically with the Great Reset of Klaus Schwab's project, that refers to the same kabbalistic and messianic sources.
Meme I shared was related specifically to your comment re: "Rothschildistan".
Come on, laugh, poking the King is a really funny meme. And yeah, well, there are other TLAV memes for religions/elites/controllers too. Lotsa memes.
However... rich globalists including all the Zionists/Jews/Jews-adjacent are still poking the chests of "elites"/PTB (see A21/Great Reset) while they rule over us.
Meme I shared stands on its own point. And, peeps here know 1 meme doesn't serve all the world's issues/topics or it wouldn't be a MEME. Right?
Naomi - Re: fighting back against the chaos in general - there's no other place in your recent stacks to post this news so posting it here for everyone to see & use to help stop the increasing medical tyranny.
Good news on the many US political efforts to push-back/pass laws against the WEF et al as regards its support for the deadly C19 scamdemic & their coordinated DoD/DARPA/UN/WHO/WEF's roll-out of the deadly so-called "COVID-19 vaxx" & endless boosters on every single person world-wide, etc.
Altho we must also utilize other efforts to stop all this authoritarianism, fighting legally is critical too.
> May 7 - The Notice of Liability delivered to individuals at the W.H.O. this week - Addressing both corporate and personal liability in wrongdoing
From stack: Below you will find the text of the Notice of Liability delivered to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dr Maria van Kerkhove, Dr Janet Diaz and Jeremy Farrar this week. It was drafted with the help of specialist international lawyers and health scientists. Feel free to copy, paste and adapt for the purpose of notifying others of their liability in relation to the Covid-19 fraud.
We are a nation of sheep, willing to the slaughter. At one time we thought liberty not only worth dying for, but also worth killing our enemies to protect. Now we are so hyper-civilized we prefer our children to be sexually assaulted, our nation to be invaded by those who will not hesitate to kill us, our politicians to betray us in every conceivable way as they plot the depopulation of our country, while we trust in corrupted institutions that will never serve us again, rather than understand why the Anti-federalists ensured the 2nd amendment would equip us for this very moment, so that we can say ''we don't solve our problems that way anymore.'' It only takes one side to create war. It takes recognition and resolve to forcibly defend a civilization from murderers and child molesters. I sense none of this, but rather self-delusion and the ignorance of similar historical moments when previous civilizations have committed suicide by disdaining the lessons of history. Our ignorance of these lessons has brought our doom upon us. We have a scant few months before this becomes obvious. Those willing to murder 30,000,000 people globally (via covid and the poison called a vaccine) to seize power have no intention of surrendering it ever again. Who can doubt that they will murder 300,000,000 of their countrymen to hold it? After all, this is the Globalist agenda.
How are the people being prevented from rising up en mass against this totalitarianism? I'd put the emphasis on men in particular, since they are the natural, God-ordained leaders in society, who are also more aware of con jobs being perpetrated against themselves & their families.
The answer is distraction of all kinds -- bread & circuses to the "nth degree," with tantalizing sex & violence:
1) Dissolution of the Christian Church, active faith, & virtue, leading to the rest...
2) Porn - early addiction & guilt cycle
3) Video games - in games, everyone can be the virtuous, powerful hero they were designed by God to be, but MUCH easier than in the real world, with no actual threat or pushback, and at a spectacular, fantastic level, not at the normal, everyday level that true heroism & leadership require (along with the virtues of humility, fortitude, prudence, temperance, etc.)
4) Sports
5) Highly immoral TV, movies, music
6) Drugs
7) Destruction of family - divorce, contraception, fornication, abortion, LGBT, media/phone addiction & other addictions leading to ruin of families, and the chaos that ensues when the foundation of society crumbles
8) Bad food, junk food, weight gain, sedentary lifestyle, & bad health
9) For those who escape some of the "soma drugs" listed above, the off ramp lure (from realizing what's going on) for them is politics -- the false "red vs blue" drama/struggle that is as scripted and controlled as professional "wrestling" (they're **ALL** in on it at the higher levels, red AND blue, all major media and top leadership levels of all institutions... lower levels bought off, threatened, and blackmailed)
If the majority of men in the West weren't beguiled, literally put under a spell, by these relatively new distractions, this totalitarianism could never have happened. (Side note: it's not that women bear no responsibility, it's just that they're not the leaders, and shouldn't be.)
The elite satanists have been planning this for a loooong time. On the other hand, the more people who wake up from these distractions and come to Jesus Christ and His Church (the Catholic Church, but that's a whole 'nother discussion), that's one more family saved and one more family on the right side of this battle! And God Himself is on our side! He will help us endure even martyrdom, and humanity will be sooo much better off after He wins this war. God bless, protect, & guide you & your loved ones.
Thank you for enumerating the beguiling bad-habits and pasttimes that have enthralled and drugged so many men. Usually, all I hear is that it's women's fault for being too ugly, or leftist, or capable, so men don't want to be capable in the same ways (if women do it, it isn't impressive in their eyes). I think these have to do with men's weakness for being beguiled and a fatal flaw in only wanting to do something if women aren't doing it too. When I think of a country at war or just a strong, healthy society, you have to have as many people as possible who can read, operate vehicles, do math, be educated, etc. But, many men sneer at anything that women are now able to do and so bail out because of it--but they are oh so crazy about sports, which hardly anybody criticizes at all.
I will also say that men have always been far more likely to abandon women and children, no matter what time period we are looking at, no matter what country. Drunkenness, gambling, chasing after a new woman and starting a new family with her--these are historically the actions of men. The quite recent availability of simple contraception and egalitarian divorce laws has made women bailing common now too, but in the past, the disappearance of fathers (or fathers having other women and other children on the side) was very, very common.
Great points. I agree with all of them, except that I do think women should normally stay at home with kids (and these days homeschool because the culture out there is so rotten) unless there's a dire circumstance.
I think men are just instinctively, naturally drawn to do "men's work" and want it to be special & impressive, though you're right, they do need to be flexible, and not harrassing (!), if women need to work outside the home for *serious* financial reasons, or before kids/after kids leave the nest.
Maybe in this I would go farther than you. I think we would be better off if men were normally at work & women were normally working at home caring for the family, but with the new addition of some flexibility to incorporate women in *some* jobs (not all!), and no harrassment of women who do *need* to work.
Also, just a note because my previous post might not have been too clear: I'm not against all sports of course, just against an extremely excessive preoccupation with them while society is crumbling around you. Maybe get out there and build up your family & community with a good chunk of that spare time. :)
Also, I do think women have a ton of responsibility as well, especially in embracing fornication, contraception & abortion (virtually destroying the family & thus the foundation of society); dumping kids in daycare to work outside the home when not absolutely necessary; accepting homosexuality & transvestitism; embracing raging, angry femi-nazism; allowing kids to have devices & media; addiction to those things ourselves, etc., etc. So both sexes have a lot of responsibility for the mess we're in.
I just put the emphasis on men because 1) they're the natural leaders, 2) many of them realize what a disaster we're in as a nation, and are in a position to do something about it, but many of them also think there's nothing they can do because it's the women's fault, or for some other reason. I think that they can do a lot to change the tide, at least for their own family and community.
I also think we're in the end times and all this is much to do with evil spirits as the ultimate drivers behind the societal meltdown.
As a member of Gen X who stayed in the church, there were a lot more of us women who remained faithful attenders than men, even after it became obvious we could never marry without becoming "unequally yoked" which the Bible forbids. Hence a lot of middle-aged church going women who wound up living like nuns. And the churches are (mostly) conservative and traditional. Many chose to work so we wouldn't burden our elderly parents--not to become CEO girl bosses or to lead dissolute lifestyles like TV depicts. Life is not fair. I confess I get sick of people who don't know my story making assumptions. A lot of us leftover church spinsters are out there (from before online dating), now alone and childless due to the lack of men who remained in our subcultures. Some dropped out, others stayed. Thank God for my church family who accepts me as I am.
I'm sorry for the great difficulties you & so many others experienced. I hope you don't think my comments were addressing your situation. Of course unmarried women will need to work outside the home! That's one of the dire circumstances about which I was speaking.
Also, I would never describe someone as a "leftover spinster." You are a faithful, BELOVED, BEAUTIFUL daughter of the Most High God who has carried a very heavy cross for many years, drawing closer to Jesus in His Passion with every step. You have "lost your life" in a sense, lost your fondest dreams of husband (though that might still be possible), children & family, in order to be faithful to Our Lord, to "find your life" in Him. I hope you're offering up your sufferings for Jesus through Mary, in reparation for sin & for the conversion of sinners! The prayers of people like you are probably what gave me the grace to convert from atheism to Catholicism!
BTW I wonder if you've experienced a traditional Latin Mass? The TLM community is wonderful, and the Masses are transcendent, beautiful, and complete, as they were made to be... maybe even better than before because now they're more appreciated. The Novus Ordo Mass was purposely designed to violently disrupt the faith of the people, to butcher the Catholic Church, and to dismantle the family. As you say, it was very "successful."
May God bless you and your loved ones, and may Jesus save souls through your prayers, the Rosary, and the prayers of Mary, Joseph, and the saints. +JMJ+ Viva Cristo Rey!

U.S. billionaires, along with Minouche Shafik and the Board of Trustees, are behind the NYPD’s assault against those resisting Columbia’s support for the Zionist genocide in Gaza - we will hold them accountable.
Fueled by our love for Palestine and our community, the Palestinian liberation movement will remain steadfast and victorious as a people’s movement against Zionism, fascist politicians, the militarized IOF-NYPD, and state-sponsored terrorism. Join us to demand accountability and protest the Zionist entity’s chokehold on Mayor Adams, the IOF-NYPD, & Columbia University.
What a terrifying scenario! I’m left wondering when you think this could occur - after a Trump landslide so that he becomes the bad guy imposing martial law? Or before the election so that the ‘Jo 90 million votes at 4am’ scenario plays out?

Today May 10, 2024 - 1 h ago Mainstream distortions about the campus protests have been infuriating ...

FYI Prof Thrasher - Gaza Solidarity Camps - Literary Hub reposted - Jonny Diamond @JonnyDiamond · 1h - Mainstream distortions about the campus protests have been infuriating...
@lithub article
Prof Steven Thrasher (Northwestern University):
"The shared goals of these encampments—to divest from an apartheid state and end the genocide in Gaza—are not anything to be ashamed about."
"In the four encampments I have visited, it has felt so good to not have to pretend—as so many universities, publications and politicians seem to want us to—that everything is fine and we must just get back to normal by pretending what is happening isn’t happening. Everyone knows police could come in at any second and beat the shit out of them; but they know what’s happening in Gaza is far worse, and so they’re willing to take the risk."
"As a professor, it has felt good to pick up trash with my students, and to learn about how to roll a keffiyeh or sing Pesach songs with them. For all four encampments I visited erased a lot of divisions: between young students and old teachers; between faculty and staff; between Jews, Muslims and Christians; between formal members of a university community and our neighbors; between students of different universities (and their peers who don’t go to college)."
"Like the the Poor People’s Campaign Martin Luther King was planning when he was killed in 1968 (which was supposed to be a shanty town encampment of white, Black and Chicano poor people on the National Mall) the Gaza solidarity encampments have been a taste of what might be possible when everyone freely gets what they need—and when people unite across divisions to share shabbat, salah, and a demand to end war."
Even as we recognize that "the empire" & its lackeys are attempting to infiltrate/sabotage/destroy & turn the US against these students & their encampments, we must all support them & their anti-war, anti-genocide, anti-human & anti-zionist goals/objectives. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
The name "Israel" is still confusing many people. If, in your mind, you call that country by its real name, "Rothschildistan", the situation in the Middle East and in the world becomes easier to understand.
Maxgrau - Love meme parody that can transmit the point across w/an image & a few words. Your comment reminded me of this: "If you can poke royalty on their chest like they're your ....."
https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/wp-content/gallery/imagesmemes/rothschild-pokes-royalty-meme.jpg
That meme is good, but it only conveys the idea on the political level. The point which is more important to me is that the Globalists control the 3 monotheistic religions, including Judaism, as their political project is contained and mirrored in the Jewish Bible.
Is "Rothchildistan" a religion, tho?? Isn't initial comment related to financial controls?
Try this one: "Salvation Army" ... c'mon laugh out loud...or at least chuckle, Maxgrau.

"Israel" is the "biblical" concept used to confuse the people:
https://postimg.cc/zHfrpGRG
"Never forget", the colonialist/imperialist m.o. is to subjugate/rape/kill the women & kids of a conquered nation AND also change a nation's name. :/ Sound familiar? So... not really or only a "religious" thing at all, but simply an imperialist, power move. Of course, later, "religion & missionaries" are used to keep recalcitrant/unwilling "natives" in line w/Bible brain-washing, i.e. "White Man's God is superior" or "God's chosen" & "God's will" etc etc.
CounterPunch article re: how the state of Israel came to be in 1947 > The Real Story of How Israel Was Created -11 Oct 2011 - by Alison Weir.
https://www.counterpunch.org/2011/10/11/the-real-story-of-how-israel-was-created/
To better understand the Palestinian bid for membership in the United Nations, it is important to understand the original 1947 UN action .on Israel-Palestine ...
excerpt: "The passage of the General Assembly recommendation [1947] sparked increased violence in the region. Over the following months the armed wing of the pro-Israel movement, which had long been preparing for war, perpetrated a series of massacres and expulsions throughout Palestine, implementing a plan to clear the way for a majority-Jewish state."
"It was this armed aggression, and the ethnic cleansing of at least three-quarters of a million indigenous Palestinians, that created the Jewish state on land that had been 95 per cent non-Jewish prior to Zionist immigration and that even after years of immigration remained 70 per cent non-Jewish. And despite the shallow patina of legality its partisans extracted from the General Assembly, Israel was born over the opposition of American experts and of governments around the world, who opposed it on both pragmatic and moral grounds."
Thanks for the link, I know Alison Weir and her book "Against our better judgement" is part of my personal library. But unfortunately, her activist approach seeing Israel as a "colonial project" seems to prevent her from realizing that "Rothschildistan" is the spearhead of the globalist project. Rothschild is historically the head of the Illuminati and the recipient of the Balfour Declaration, but that conspiratorial society also included A. Weishaupt, head of Freemasonry, and Jakob Frank who turned Judaism into the Illuminati religious instrument that it is today with Chabad.
She rightfully criticises the Jewish messianism promoted by Chabad, but doesn't seem to see that the messianic era fervently promoted by both the Zionists and the Chabadniks, and being prepared with "Noahidism" as the future "global" religion, coincides timely and ideologically with the Great Reset of Klaus Schwab's project, that refers to the same kabbalistic and messianic sources.

Meme I shared was related specifically to your comment re: "Rothschildistan".
Come on, laugh, poking the King is a really funny meme. And yeah, well, there are other TLAV memes for religions/elites/controllers too. Lotsa memes.
However... rich globalists including all the Zionists/Jews/Jews-adjacent are still poking the chests of "elites"/PTB (see A21/Great Reset) while they rule over us.
Meme I shared stands on its own point. And, peeps here know 1 meme doesn't serve all the world's issues/topics or it wouldn't be a MEME. Right?
> TLAV memes > Pick one, okay? Here ya go:

Naomi - Re: fighting back against the chaos in general - there's no other place in your recent stacks to post this news so posting it here for everyone to see & use to help stop the increasing medical tyranny.
Good news on the many US political efforts to push-back/pass laws against the WEF et al as regards its support for the deadly C19 scamdemic & their coordinated DoD/DARPA/UN/WHO/WEF's roll-out of the deadly so-called "COVID-19 vaxx" & endless boosters on every single person world-wide, etc.
Altho we must also utilize other efforts to stop all this authoritarianism, fighting legally is critical too.
> May 7 - The Notice of Liability delivered to individuals at the W.H.O. this week - Addressing both corporate and personal liability in wrongdoing
Dr Tess Lawrie, MBBCh, PhD
https://drtesslawrie.substack.com/p/the-notice-of-liability-delivered
From stack: Below you will find the text of the Notice of Liability delivered to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dr Maria van Kerkhove, Dr Janet Diaz and Jeremy Farrar this week. It was drafted with the help of specialist international lawyers and health scientists. Feel free to copy, paste and adapt for the purpose of notifying others of their liability in relation to the Covid-19 fraud.
We are a nation of sheep, willing to the slaughter. At one time we thought liberty not only worth dying for, but also worth killing our enemies to protect. Now we are so hyper-civilized we prefer our children to be sexually assaulted, our nation to be invaded by those who will not hesitate to kill us, our politicians to betray us in every conceivable way as they plot the depopulation of our country, while we trust in corrupted institutions that will never serve us again, rather than understand why the Anti-federalists ensured the 2nd amendment would equip us for this very moment, so that we can say ''we don't solve our problems that way anymore.'' It only takes one side to create war. It takes recognition and resolve to forcibly defend a civilization from murderers and child molesters. I sense none of this, but rather self-delusion and the ignorance of similar historical moments when previous civilizations have committed suicide by disdaining the lessons of history. Our ignorance of these lessons has brought our doom upon us. We have a scant few months before this becomes obvious. Those willing to murder 30,000,000 people globally (via covid and the poison called a vaccine) to seize power have no intention of surrendering it ever again. Who can doubt that they will murder 300,000,000 of their countrymen to hold it? After all, this is the Globalist agenda.
How are the people being prevented from rising up en mass against this totalitarianism? I'd put the emphasis on men in particular, since they are the natural, God-ordained leaders in society, who are also more aware of con jobs being perpetrated against themselves & their families.
The answer is distraction of all kinds -- bread & circuses to the "nth degree," with tantalizing sex & violence:
1) Dissolution of the Christian Church, active faith, & virtue, leading to the rest...
2) Porn - early addiction & guilt cycle
3) Video games - in games, everyone can be the virtuous, powerful hero they were designed by God to be, but MUCH easier than in the real world, with no actual threat or pushback, and at a spectacular, fantastic level, not at the normal, everyday level that true heroism & leadership require (along with the virtues of humility, fortitude, prudence, temperance, etc.)
4) Sports
5) Highly immoral TV, movies, music
6) Drugs
7) Destruction of family - divorce, contraception, fornication, abortion, LGBT, media/phone addiction & other addictions leading to ruin of families, and the chaos that ensues when the foundation of society crumbles
8) Bad food, junk food, weight gain, sedentary lifestyle, & bad health
9) For those who escape some of the "soma drugs" listed above, the off ramp lure (from realizing what's going on) for them is politics -- the false "red vs blue" drama/struggle that is as scripted and controlled as professional "wrestling" (they're **ALL** in on it at the higher levels, red AND blue, all major media and top leadership levels of all institutions... lower levels bought off, threatened, and blackmailed)
If the majority of men in the West weren't beguiled, literally put under a spell, by these relatively new distractions, this totalitarianism could never have happened. (Side note: it's not that women bear no responsibility, it's just that they're not the leaders, and shouldn't be.)
The elite satanists have been planning this for a loooong time. On the other hand, the more people who wake up from these distractions and come to Jesus Christ and His Church (the Catholic Church, but that's a whole 'nother discussion), that's one more family saved and one more family on the right side of this battle! And God Himself is on our side! He will help us endure even martyrdom, and humanity will be sooo much better off after He wins this war. God bless, protect, & guide you & your loved ones.
Thank you for enumerating the beguiling bad-habits and pasttimes that have enthralled and drugged so many men. Usually, all I hear is that it's women's fault for being too ugly, or leftist, or capable, so men don't want to be capable in the same ways (if women do it, it isn't impressive in their eyes). I think these have to do with men's weakness for being beguiled and a fatal flaw in only wanting to do something if women aren't doing it too. When I think of a country at war or just a strong, healthy society, you have to have as many people as possible who can read, operate vehicles, do math, be educated, etc. But, many men sneer at anything that women are now able to do and so bail out because of it--but they are oh so crazy about sports, which hardly anybody criticizes at all.
I will also say that men have always been far more likely to abandon women and children, no matter what time period we are looking at, no matter what country. Drunkenness, gambling, chasing after a new woman and starting a new family with her--these are historically the actions of men. The quite recent availability of simple contraception and egalitarian divorce laws has made women bailing common now too, but in the past, the disappearance of fathers (or fathers having other women and other children on the side) was very, very common.
Great points. I agree with all of them, except that I do think women should normally stay at home with kids (and these days homeschool because the culture out there is so rotten) unless there's a dire circumstance.
I think men are just instinctively, naturally drawn to do "men's work" and want it to be special & impressive, though you're right, they do need to be flexible, and not harrassing (!), if women need to work outside the home for *serious* financial reasons, or before kids/after kids leave the nest.
Maybe in this I would go farther than you. I think we would be better off if men were normally at work & women were normally working at home caring for the family, but with the new addition of some flexibility to incorporate women in *some* jobs (not all!), and no harrassment of women who do *need* to work.
Also, just a note because my previous post might not have been too clear: I'm not against all sports of course, just against an extremely excessive preoccupation with them while society is crumbling around you. Maybe get out there and build up your family & community with a good chunk of that spare time. :)
Also, I do think women have a ton of responsibility as well, especially in embracing fornication, contraception & abortion (virtually destroying the family & thus the foundation of society); dumping kids in daycare to work outside the home when not absolutely necessary; accepting homosexuality & transvestitism; embracing raging, angry femi-nazism; allowing kids to have devices & media; addiction to those things ourselves, etc., etc. So both sexes have a lot of responsibility for the mess we're in.
I just put the emphasis on men because 1) they're the natural leaders, 2) many of them realize what a disaster we're in as a nation, and are in a position to do something about it, but many of them also think there's nothing they can do because it's the women's fault, or for some other reason. I think that they can do a lot to change the tide, at least for their own family and community.
I also think we're in the end times and all this is much to do with evil spirits as the ultimate drivers behind the societal meltdown.
As a member of Gen X who stayed in the church, there were a lot more of us women who remained faithful attenders than men, even after it became obvious we could never marry without becoming "unequally yoked" which the Bible forbids. Hence a lot of middle-aged church going women who wound up living like nuns. And the churches are (mostly) conservative and traditional. Many chose to work so we wouldn't burden our elderly parents--not to become CEO girl bosses or to lead dissolute lifestyles like TV depicts. Life is not fair. I confess I get sick of people who don't know my story making assumptions. A lot of us leftover church spinsters are out there (from before online dating), now alone and childless due to the lack of men who remained in our subcultures. Some dropped out, others stayed. Thank God for my church family who accepts me as I am.
I'm sorry for the great difficulties you & so many others experienced. I hope you don't think my comments were addressing your situation. Of course unmarried women will need to work outside the home! That's one of the dire circumstances about which I was speaking.
Also, I would never describe someone as a "leftover spinster." You are a faithful, BELOVED, BEAUTIFUL daughter of the Most High God who has carried a very heavy cross for many years, drawing closer to Jesus in His Passion with every step. You have "lost your life" in a sense, lost your fondest dreams of husband (though that might still be possible), children & family, in order to be faithful to Our Lord, to "find your life" in Him. I hope you're offering up your sufferings for Jesus through Mary, in reparation for sin & for the conversion of sinners! The prayers of people like you are probably what gave me the grace to convert from atheism to Catholicism!
BTW I wonder if you've experienced a traditional Latin Mass? The TLM community is wonderful, and the Masses are transcendent, beautiful, and complete, as they were made to be... maybe even better than before because now they're more appreciated. The Novus Ordo Mass was purposely designed to violently disrupt the faith of the people, to butcher the Catholic Church, and to dismantle the family. As you say, it was very "successful."
May God bless you and your loved ones, and may Jesus save souls through your prayers, the Rosary, and the prayers of Mary, Joseph, and the saints. +JMJ+ Viva Cristo Rey!
