Greetings friends and readers. It’s another beautiful summer here in the Levant/south Lebanon and time for me to take a nice long break from my political writings and my regular commenting on the ugly side of life.
Greetings friends and readers. It’s another beautiful summer here in the Levant/south Lebanon and time for me to take a nice long break from my political writings and my regular commenting on the ugly side of life.
I define the Nakba as a holocaust. A holocaust committed incrementally by Jewish cowards. A coward’s holocaust!
I reject the definition of ‘ethnic cleansing’ that’s stamped on the Nakba, because, even though mass ethnic cleansing did occur with the monstrous birth of Israel, the intention of the Jews who arrived from Europe to occupy Palestine had Talmudic genocide on their minds and not a Two State paradigm: as evidenced by historic quotes from the Jewish founders of Israel, as well as by the Jewish Knesset’s genocidal policies and their perpetual crimes against the suffering Palestinian people.
I define the Nakba as a ‘coward’s holocaust’ because the watered-down label of ‘ethnic-cleansing’ lessens the true depth and immensity of Jewish crimes against the Semitic natives of Palestine. I define it so because the Jews think gentiles are too stupid to notice a ‘genocide’ taking place if it’s done in increments. Jews think they’re performing some kind of Houdini-esque, invisible holocaust that no gentile can see. Such is the degree of their criminal narcissism. Pathological lunacy!
For the zealot, Zionist West, International Law is dead. Democracy is dead. Personal privacy is dead. Free speech is dead. Free thought is dead. Morality itself is dead.
Therefore, there will be war.
Presently, with Syria and the Axis of Resistance so close to a complete victory over the terrorist invading army that’s supported by the Axis of Evil, Israel’s only chance at remaining a regional dominant entity is to gather its Goyim Western friends on the front lines of war-torn Syria. Israel desperately needs the Goyim slave nations of the West to fight there on its behalf because, like I have been saying for a good decade now, Israel is in an existential, geopolitical crisis that it thinks can be resolved through yet another war of aggression against its regional neighbors. It’s a gamble-war that the Israelis have no choice but to ignite, all due to their enemies gaining continuing strength and improved armory.
Damn the bombs and the missile blues! Damn the warmongers and psychopaths in power! Damn the eyeless war profiteers – damn their fists clutching at human bones! Damn the rapists and annihilators of nations! Damn the destroyers of Palestine, of Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria! Damn them all in this precious hour of ours! Let us push them all aside with gusto! Let us un-darken our doors here with their absence and instead: let us ponder the wondrous gravitas and historic riches of ancient cities currently under bombardment. Let us, for instance, pay homage to the ancient masons who laid the very first brick of Damascus – that very same brick that launched a contiguous twelve-thousand year community. Let us for a moment digest this stunningly immense numerical – this extravagant, extraordinary achievement in longevity! Let us remember these ancient artisans and bricklayers and what marvelous vision stirred their breast to compel them to build a city like Damascus. Let us leave our philistine century aside for a moment and remember the philosophical womb of Damascus that incubated the humanistic ideal and desire for everlasting human community. Let us remember the intoxicating scent of Damascus jasmine and the dreamy ambience of ancient public fountains; let us generously evoke the sartorial silky-elegance of Dame Damascus; and in poetic whispers, let us invite into our hectic highway of thought, the ultimate messiah of humanity: the diaphanous Muse. The very force behind all human progress emanating from the vast and unexplored human imagination: that infinite and internal world of ours that’s full of mystery and genius and innovation. Let us privately hold court with this ageless Muse – this Muse who is as old as god – this Muse whose most enduring vision of community was birthed in the minds of the builders of Damascus: this Muse who was called forth by the first founders of Damascus to assist them in manifesting the finest and most enduring of all human cities. Let us all sit by the banks of the Barada River and eat apples with the Muse that inspired these faceless ancient Syrians to create and build such an everlasting city as Damascus – a city that is even older than the oldest pyramid on earth – a city that is actually twice as old as the oldest pyramid.
Fasten your seatbelts, dear patriots, you’re about to be dragged into yet another Jewy war. This time, against a Hypersonically-nuclear Russia and its capable and motivated allies in the Middle East.
Too late to stop the Jewy push for war emanating out of Jewy DC. Too late, therefore, for you to protest against another Jewy war of choice and against all the gobsmacking, fascist censorship that comes with it.
Forget your First Amendment Rights. Forever!
Face it already: you’ve lost to the wicked power-Jews and their nefarious plans to hold you in permanent enslavement. Yes, you are now a certified slave to the Jews: a true Goyim.
It is abundantly clear by now that our Empire’s economy in the 21st century is utterly reliant on the sales ledgers of our Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and not on our scientific or technological innovations, as indeed was the case for several decades in the mid part of the 20th century. This means that our economic stability is now dependent on a continuing necklace of wars, mostly manufactured by us and in collusion with our ex-colonialist allies in Europe, as well as our client-state list of theocratic dictators in the middle east, including Israel – actually, especially Israel.
How did we get to this stage where our bread and butter is literally now soaked with rivers of human blood shed overseas, instead of fortified with American pride and peaceful civic innovation? Who or what is behind this meteoric rise of MIC in the past three decades? The answer to this is not a mystery. Even a scant review of who owns the gunpowder corporations and their supporting banks in the USA tells us that political Jews and Jewish bankers have, since Perestroika, taken over this national industry and redirected it from manufacturing weapons that kill communists, to manufacturing weapons that kill Israel’s enemies – and boy, does Israel have (and love) a long-long list of enemies!

A most significant event took place on October 1st, 2017.
Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese leader of Hezbollah, gave a speech that, as per usual, dissected current regional hotspots with much passion, insight and frankness. But, what was unusual about this particular speech is that Nasrallah addressed Israeli citizens directly, earnestly advising them publicly and for the first time EVER, to start packing their suitcases and to return to their true motherlands in Europe, the US and elsewhere, as soon as possible and before imminent war breaks out. “You will not have time to pack and leave when war begins; and nowhere will be safe for you in Historic Palestine – nowhere!”, he asserted with gusto.
A review of ‘Being in Time: A Post-Political Manifesto’ – by Gilad Atzmon/Skyscraper Publication
First, I must make stern objection to the subtitle of this book: “A Post-Political Manifesto“. No, dearest reader, this is no manifesto at all. A manifesto is usually instructive and Atzmon’s book is actually reflective. A manifesto is imbibed with strict political dogma, whereas Atzmon’s book is charged with a free-flowing, philosophical energy. The book is, in fact, an astute and remarkable comment on the metaphysics of our current political condition: using the age-old blueprint of Athens versus Jerusalem to unravel the dark and twisted marvels of our current political dystopia.
For over two thousand years, a war between rationalist Athens and messianic Jerusalem has ensued, but not to clear conclusion. For several millennia, this epic war has vacillated and the victor’s scales have tipped hither in one era and dither in another. The war between Athens and Jerusalem continues relentlessly into our present day, and this side of the 21st century, it is cultural philosopher and Jazz artist, Gilad Atzmon, who now updates us on this epic and raging battle where each side is struggling to occupy the very perception of humanity itself. Both sides claim to be the saviors of mankind; and currently, the Jerusalem school of thought is leading, but only because its agents have successfully infiltrated to the core, the elite leadership and governments of the Western world.
We are living in the peak of Jew World Order.
If you find this statement antisemitic, if you disagree with the facts and statistics that identify American Jews as heavily dominating or fully controlling American Media, Banking, the Judiciary and American Culture (Hollywood/Education/Book Publishing) – controlling through the Jewish lobby our Congress, the Senate, the Pentagon, Policing and Intelligence Agencies as well – if you are still in denial of the above facts, then this article is not for you. I advise you therefore to go fuck yourself as far away from here as possible. The above facts are not up for debate, they are easily verifiable and by now common knowledge even among the uninformed, as evidenced a-plenty by the incessant chatter on this subject on local and worldwide Social Media outlets.
What is up for debate, however, is how much longer will the American masses remain asleep to the biggest threat of all to our nation by Jewish influence and caprice. Will Americans sleep right through the destruction of the First Amendment at the corrosive hands of American Jews seeking to silence criticism of everything Jewish and Israel because the cat is now out of the bag on Social Media: an unruly platform that cannot be controlled without a fisty dictatorship? Will the American masses freely and passively give up their fundamental right to free speech to appease the tyranny of the Jewish minority? Or is it that Americans under the reign of Trump are too distracted by the hostilities and divisions of Identitarian Politics to even notice this? (Fashionable Identity Politics that’s been introduced, no less, by Jews and Jew-centric agents into our current political zeitgeist). Are American masses really that unattentive and absent-minded to even note that the pernicious Jews are fast making it a crime to speak ill of the self-styled, self-proclaimed Chosenites in any form or measure right here in the United States, the land of freedom itself? Are Gentile citizens even aware of the aggressive Jewish campaign seeking censorship of their Internet Free Speech that’s already currently gaining traction in our congress – as indeed it has already successfully done so in the UK parliament?
In a recently published article, Gilad Atzmon wondered where the concepts of ‘chosenness’ and a ‘vengeful god’ come from. Here below, I posit a plausible answer to his poignant questions.
* * * * * *
Imagine it’s four thousand years ago and you are the chief elder of a small pagan tribe living in what is now known as Yemen. You have chosen to pitch your tribe’s tents near an oasis that’s also shared by, say, half a dozen small Arab pagan tribes. Paganism, with its orgiastic sexual promiscuity, its lawless blood-sacrifices and hyper-irrational superstitions is the zeitgeist of the day – and you, as tribe leader are becoming more concerned for the safety of your tribe because the new four-horned pagan god of your nearest neighbor’s tribe is an aggressive god who instructs his worshipers to raid and kill what they can by night to appease him. You stoically start to wonder how best you can insure your tribe’s safety: you spend all day performing pagan protection rituals and prayers; and your nights you spend sleepless in nerve-knotting anxiety: over-thinking everything and hitting one mental wall after the other in search of a solution to your security crisis.
It is a linguistic curiosity that the word ‘fake’ has suddenly taken such a prominent hold of our collective global consciousness. Inside a handful of recent months, this universally catchy buzzword has been stretched and bent sideways and downwards; uttered in every language under the sun a billion times an hour and turned into an elastic prefix that fits just about every noun and verb on earth. We now have fake news, fake views, fake peace and fake war, fake inquest, fake protest, fake leader, fake lackey, fake friend, fake enemy, fake innocent, fake guilty, fake facts and fake honesty – we have fake Langley, fake leaks, fake angry, fake freaks, fake men, fake women, fake air, fake water, fake dinner, fake blood, fake army, fake soldier, fake good, fake evil, fake victors, fake losers and oh so very many fake schmoozers brown-nosing kingmakers down the halls of power. We have plenty of fake history, fake future (only the present is real!) – we have fake intelligence and fake intellos, fake analysts and fake experts, fake saviors, fake survivors, fake vandals, fake scandals, fake right, fake left, fake election, fake protection, fake freedom, fake resistance, fake vows and fake commitments – we even have fake actors and the double fake whammy of fake fakers! We’re presently so inundated with fake victims and dictum, fake healers and fake spielers, fake pollsters and statistics, fake winners, fake sinners and all them so very Botoxed fake grinners in our vast, fickle, hapless, illusory-culture world. Why everything around us is suddenly looking so faux, fake, false, phony, bogus, sham, artificial and eerily staged: recalling the parallel universe here of The Truman Show. Fake just about everything conceivable and all leading up to the big fake Red Scare: the most dangerous of all the fakes: disseminated by fakesters with shameless gusto – zapping like perpetual lightening across humanity’s gazillion brain wires.

2016 – and what a year – don’t know whether to laugh or cry – some good, a lot of bad for the world – and we’re still in the belly of the tailspin.
But so what?! Sticks and stones! Perceived as fucked up, the world was always forever thus.
Today is the last day of the year and tomorrow will be no different. It’s a little vacuous therefore to blow whistles and bells at midnight. For me at least. Rationalist. Big cynic here. And I’m inviting cynics of all sizes to get away from the din in the den of fools and join me for a moment or two of sheer cynicism and beauty.
By now, we’ve all had time to digest Trump’s presidential victory and a chunk of its implications. To those who are still surprised, nay devastated at the election’s outcome, I offer my sincerest commiserations and a bucket of ice poured over their heads to shock them back into reality. For the winners, I offer my sincerest congratulation and a bucket of confetti and thorns rained over their heads to remind them that regardless of Trump’s victory, our nation is still teetering on the same gaping precipice and worse. To the disgraced mainstream media, I offer them a bucket of feces in their faces – they honestly do not deserve better – I’m sure most of you here will agree. And to the leaderships of both parties, to the nefarious, self-serving Zionist Washington Establishment itself, I offer them much raucous mockery and my woohoo happy dance. It is truly a poetic justice that it took an upstart insider billionaire, who’s been buying and selling the very same Establishment politicians himself for some three decades, to sucker-punch the whole lot of them incompetents, traitors and foreign agents. Nobody ‘important’ has been shielded from the Trumpian fist. Not the dynastic Clintons. And certainly not the bullshit Bushes. Even the normally duck-and-dive Deep State is in a deep panic. In fact, everywhere you look, instruments and beneficiaries of the current and corrupt Status Quo are quaking in their unmentionables at the imminent prospect of Trump receiving the diamond-and-platinum keys to the White House. The very same archenemy of the Establishment’s cultish and lucrative Order has handily smashed them all and will now become their prestigious and all powerful master and Commander in Chief. Thus begins their living political nightmare – thus begins their current decent into political madness and filth.

By now, after a long presidential campaign season marked by shocking levels of corruption scandals and salacious smut – and the election right now being a mere handful of days away – there’s really no need to repeat or parse information that everyone already knows. But if you’ll kindly indulge me here, I will share below some random, haphazard, stream of consciousness impressions of this election, which I’ve been quasi following from the faraway hills of the Levant:
I was halfway writing about how fury is now the opium of the masses, but then I changed my mind and discarded the piece because I felt that I’m just repeating what myself and others have been saying for a good six months – albeit, I may use more acrobatic prose than what the norm is in news media. Fact is, I am not a journalist and I do not wish to be one or to write like one. This, my natural lack of interest in the practice of journalism is actually the topic and purpose behind this personal article.
When I started Plato’s, it was really for four reasons. First, to be able to share through Plato’s daily Newsstand some selected articles of worth that would educate and further enlighten the reader. Second, to allow commenters their freedom of expression when blogging, so long as they were not rude, crude or derailing. Thirdly, to share with readers my insights and analysis of American Empire and its geopolitical shenanigans in the Middle East. Fourthly, and dearest to my heart, is to give uber support to the liberation of our congress and of Palestine, whom as we all know are symbiotically connected by both being under the criminal occupation of the Zionist invaders.

We have arrived. Teeming, huddled. We have arrived to the edge and our shadows are now cast over the precipice. We have arrived at the threshold of mass American fascism. It is a discriminatory ideology as well as a state of mind and we as a nation have collectively arrived at that grim station. Unmistakably, we have arrived as evidenced by the very fabric and sinews of the divisive policies and personalities of the presidential forerunners: Clinton and Trump.
But let us here first define the term ‘fascism’. Let us look at the founder of modern fascism and how he defined it. No, the originator was not Hitler, nor was it Stalin or Mussolini; it was in fact another Italian by the name of Gabriele d’Annunzio, a popular poet and libertine who lived at the turn of the 20th century (1863 – 1938). His infamous manifesto was adopted thereafter by Hitler and Mussolini, adding their own brushstroke to the diabolical canvas.

With his own party members and elders publicly attacking him full-throttle, Trump has become the elite underdog – a conceptual oxymoron in and of itself, but such is the notable upside-down character of the 2016 presidential campaign.
The main reason for these attacks appears to be Trump’s “neutral” position on Israel and his rejection of warmongering Zioconism and PNAC’s project of endless wars in the middle east – expensive military conflicts that benefit Israel and only Israel, not the USA’s interests and most certainly not Israel’s Arab neighbors and world peace at large.

Oh yes they most certainly do! YouTube be my witness, Israel kills Palestinian girls. In broad daylight, on film, and in cold blood.
Street executions of Palestinian teen girls are on the rise. Some of these executed girls had nothing to do with the Knife Intifada. Often, knives are planted posthumously beside tiny corpses; or else they’re planted on innocent Palestinian girls who then get carted off to jail for an alleged failed stabbing. And the ones who were out on a mission to stab Israeli soldiers, (a mindblowingly brave endeavor!), well, no doubt a nifty Krav Maga maneuver by a trained Israeli soldier could easily disarm a thin-wristed waif wielding a kitchen knife. No? Surely a copiously trained soldier would be able to expertly kick a paltry knife out of a small girl’s hand, no? Evidently not. We note, therefore, the excessive new level of fatal force used against Palestinian girls.

Two champagne glasses clink in a prism of light.
Netanyahu: I’ve heard you had a mansion made entirely out of gold but I never thought I’d ever get invited to it – and on Valentine’s day, no less – wow – I mean look at this place – unbelievable! A sea of red roses, a thousand lit candles, the Mariachi band in the corner, the kosher champagne – and just look at this mountain of kifelta fish – look at this mountain of Ben and Jerry’s pistachio-vanilla! How on earth did you know it’s my favorite?!
Salman: I googled it.
With a twinkle in his eye, Salman places a small Israeli flag on top of the ice cream mount.

There are two deckchairs on the moon. Netanyahu is slumped in one; Erdogan is splayed in the other. A billboard beside them says: Welcome to the Sea of Crisis.
Netanyahu: At least you can’t see Aleppo from here.
Erdogan: And no one can see us crying here either – god – never been so embarrassed in all my life!
Netanyahu: What the hell went wrong?! It was such a perfect plan. We smuggled in so many thousands of terrorists – we trained and armed and nursed them like one of our own – like wacko terminators they chopped off heads of men and boys and raped women and girls – they looted factories and oil wells – our media threw buckets of shit at their army’s name–

There is no stopping the ongoing knifing on the streets of Jerusalem and the West Bank. A whole generation of young Palestinian teens have willfully placed themselves on the front lines of an urban armed resistance. They asked nobody’s permission – not their parents, not their preachers, teachers, and certainly not Mahmoud Abbas or Hamas. Child army of resistors, not marching in traditional single or double file, but springing their cause forward through zigzag martyrdom; paying the high cost of liberation in pure vestal blood – because for Palestinian youth, remaining still is tantamount to a slow death in chains. Undignified. Unacceptable. To be resisted at early age and at all cost. “Give me liberty or give me death” is their sacred, evident manifesto.

The ongoing progress of the daily liberation of Syrian villages, towns and cities is largely absent from Western mainstream media these days, but nevertheless, the facts on the ground in Syria are indisputable. The Russian Axis in the Levant is militarily more superior than the ISISian armies combined; and despite these terrorist armies being well funded by wealthy global Zioconism, ISIS et all are currently on an unstoppable and disastrous loosing streak. Looking thus at their territorial retreats and at the shrinking clock of war: the primary fighting forces of Russia, Iran, Syria and Hezbollah look to be but five minutes away from an assured victory. And riding the coattail of this imminent victory are the USA Empire and Republic, France, Germany and the UK, who, despite having directly or indirectly supported violent regime change in Syria, now see it as geopolitically opportune to pledged their 11th hour support to Putin’s vision and strategy for defeating ISIS in the Levant.

The desire to impress others and gain approval is a natural human inclination. But when a nation seeks to do the same, when a nation endeavors to impress and widen its sphere of influence, it becomes a very complex project fraught with dangers great and small; pregnant with the possibilities of war.
To create influence, nations have a choice between the use of soft power or the imposition of hard power. Obviously, the use of soft power barely contains complications and does not normally lead to war or to the material destruction of another nation and its population.
Yet in the Middle East, the nations of Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have all relentlessly chosen direct use of hard power to assert and further spread their influence; further highlighting their fundamental opposition to the very principles of the UN Charter and civilization; further spotlighting their deeply pernicious intentions towards their neighbors and beyond.

The Israel lobby’s hand has recently managed to yet again apply massive smothering censorship not just on the American people, but on world populations at large – censorship on all inquiring minds who are seeking Social Media videos of real live events taking place in occupied Palestine.
Until about two months ago, I was always able to google ‘Intifada 3 videos’ and get the absolute latest in Social Media footage from occupied Palestine, including videos posted only “ten minutes ago”. If you google ‘Intifada 3’ nowadays, or any other combination of words that pertain to the current Palestine youth crisis, the search engines of both Google and Youtube spit out top listings of videos going all the way back to October and November 2015. Nothing current, not even videos from a month ago are made instantly available for the public at large. Even when you enter the year ‘2016’ into their search engines, you still get the same line-up of October 2015 videos – and we all know very well that there are violent resistances taking place in occupied Palestine practically everyday of every month of every year.

At the end of this year, what can be said that hasn’t already been said in tears? Wars are still raging; mothers are still burying their children on a daily basis in Palestine, in Syria, in Iraq, Libya and in Yemen. The Axis of Evil is so very strong. Frightfully strong. Needs no introduction or naming at this stage. Indiscriminate in its insatiable thirst for mass human blood, the Axis of Evil continues to unleash more wars that murder mostly innocent populations overseas and hold us all hostage and terrorized in the homelands. The world is on the brink of global chaos and mass slaughter and you and I, dear reader, we are the wretched, helpless witnesses to this unfolding 21st century purgatory.

I currently live in the south of Lebanon, in a farmhouse situated on a green Levantean hill. My gardener is a 26 year old Syrian who lives with his family in a separate cottage on the property. His wife is 20 and they have three children, the youngest being 4 months old. They both hail from a small town that’s a good 40 minutes drive from Raqqa, ISIS’s capital in Syria. Their town is under ISIS occupation, part of the swath of landmass under control of the terrorist army. My gardener gets regular news from his town via a cellphone network of brothers, sisters and cousins scattered inside and outside their town and who are all in constant touch with each other with news and updates of the great and the small. They are in constant circulation of their family, their friends and their neighbors’ news. They are Micro Media messengers. They are the purest form of media. They cannot afford to lie or exaggerate to each other lest they cause unnecessary grief or danger to their loved ones. I am privy to these microcosmic stories and I would like to share with you my general impression of them.

For the past six months, I have written several analysis articles that have pretty much predicted what’s going on right now in the wider middle east. No point in me repeating myself and boring, above all, myself. Currently, there are no fresh stories or new angles to write about. I know that Thierry Meyssan and The Saker have been talking about the northwestern corner of Syria being given to the Kurds by UK, France, USA and Germany as the next big thing, but I wholly disagree with this premise. Yes for sure, under the fake guise of “fighting terrorism”, members of the Axis of Evil would very much like this breakup of Syria to happen, but Russia would categorically never allow for the division of Syria, especially by NATO countries. Russia sees the Kurd for what they are: as Western and NATO allies. Russia sees no difference between NATO installing missile shields at its doorstep in Poland and NATO carving out Kurdish territory at Syria’s expense. Both affect Russian security and hegemony.

I cannot bear to read yet another article on the Palestine-Israel peace process. This is because I no longer see a solution through peaceful means.
Jewish Israeli society has no interest in a Two State Solution, judging by their voting patterns, as well as by Aipac’s expansive anti-peace activities in our congress and in major European parliaments. The Zionists in Israel appear blatantly unapologetic and comfortable with their increasing racism and their Apartheid Laws. No shaming and no earnest appeals for compromise moves them. They are intent on usurping more and more of historic Palestine till the last inch and beyond – even at the cost of Tel Aviv and World War Three.

Twenty four hours after two Turkish F-16’s downed a Russian SU-24 on Syrian territory, the smoke of the wreckage has cleared and revealed a banana skin with NATO’s logo stamped on it.
Obviously, Putin is too smart and sure-footed to slip and fall for such a primordial ruse. But it is worth examining why NATO, which is primarily an American instrument, is resorting to such puerile and reckless tactics in its attempt to create justification to enter the Syrian battlefields, with intent to oust Bashar by force and divide up Syria to the benefits of the Caliphate and the Zionist states. Do NATO commanders actually think that Putin’s intelligence is that degree of inept and short-sighted? Or is this an act of desperation on NATO’s part, with Turkey as front and fall guy?
The Mainstream Media is doing all it can to avoid addressing the obvious: naming, dissecting and damning ISIS’s major backers and supporters. There are no such informative and sanguine reports being penned or published by the elite media; they are instead too busy gatecrashing the funerals of the fallen, wiping errant tears and taking selfies.
As usual, wilted pathos and not sound reason is what’s being fed to the public after yet another horrific series of terrorist attacks.

Talmudism, that old desert ideology with its celebration of fire and brimstone and genocide needs to be urgently and openly addressed by concerned citizens and by the global intelligentsia alike.
Evidently, Talmudism is not confined to Judaic orthodoxies, indeed it has infiltrated the three Abrahamic faiths to the core. It is an arcane ideology that is at war with modern Universalist principles, the very principles that if practiced would naturally lead to peaceful unification instead of the violent segregation of humanity.

We’re being hustled by the evil twins again. The government. And the mainstream media.
They’re playing a Three-card Monte on the public to counter the unexpected developments in Syria. A double-act conspiring to hoodwink unsuspecting citizens. A very dangerous and albeit illegal propaganda practice – especially considering that grave matters of war and peace are at stake.
The government and the media are currently working overtime to mix black propaganda, grey propaganda and white propaganda in a poison bowl of misinformation: and they’re handing it out to the public with a glossy smile.

Now that Russian military operations against ISIS in Syria are well underway, with much success already scored and final victory is but certain, Russia launches forth into an impeccably timed diplomatic offensive that seeks to establish a foundation for a new world order for the 21st century.
As current events fast unfold, we are observing Putin’s masterful use of both hard power and soft power to achieve this highly complex and dangerous restructuring.

It is a beautiful autumn morning in the Holy Land. So magically beautiful in fact that a Palestinian teenage girl walking to school and daydreaming of romance would be forgiven for forgetting, just for a few seconds, the ugly occupation breathing death down on her at every street corner she takes.
She has used this same route for years now – she can walk it blindfolded. She has learned the rich history of her ancestors and the deadly substance of the occupier on this very same route. Often when she’s walked it, she’s experienced sickening palpitations and involuntary fist-clenching to encounter the occupier enemy at close range, be they armed and in uniform, or in civilian clothing with weapons possibly concealed. She has many times seen hate and murder in their eyes as she nervously stepped past them. This is her daily trail of fear and loathing and she affectionately calls it ‘my little redemption road’.
The grand plan was going swimmingly. The concept of endless wars for Greater Israel was working and producing impressive results. Opportunistically, through aggravation of war after war, chunk by chunk of Arab land was usurped and the map of Greater Israel was slowly materializing. No matter the unstable chaos surrounding the State of Israel for the past seven decades, and no matter the undying Palestinian resistance and the violent Intifadas that erupted internally, the Zionist dream of Greater Israel remained consistently intact and was progressing unabated and unchallenged by anyone.
But dreams, by their diaphanous nature are easily interruptible – can easily turn into sudden nightmares. Indeed, dreams do, in the blink of an eye, simply end.
There is so much silly propaganda out there right now on Palestine and Syria that I honestly can’t be bothered to post up any of it. It’s all the same tired spin too.
‘Palestinians are terrorists terrorizing the poor Israeli Jews who just want to live in peace and harmony with their neighbors’ – is basically a propaganda theme taken up by the MSM. Multiple stories of Israeli ‘personal’ experiences of “Palestinian terrorism” are getting published all over the place too (oh man, the tedium!).

An Israeli Jew, seeing a brown-skinned man walking down his street and assuming him to be Palestinian: lunged forth and stabbed him in a revenge attack – only to discover that the man he critically injured was actually Jewish. Such is the level of ethnic paranoia permeating the Israeli psyche today.
Reciprocal stabbings between Palestinians and Zionist Israelis have been erupting on the streets of towns and cities and increasing in frequency and violence as the days pass. The Zionist Israeli media is carrying forth Netanyahu’s propaganda message to his people: ‘Arabs are attacking us with knives on the streets and we have the right to defend ourselves’. Other loon Israeli media outlets are warning that the Palestinian stabbers are Daesh announcing their arrival into Israel. The politics of fear is king in the holy land today.

Against their leaders and against their occupier. Against the Grim Reaper and a grimmer, dimmer future. Against deception, oppression, injustice and submission. Against everyone and everything that humiliates them, Palestinian youth en mass have taken to the streets of the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza for five days in a row today – a passion for freedom and an anger at the poverty of their life exploding in their bony chests. Masked youth, stone in hand, stones stuffed in denim pockets, they duck behind walls and corners and cars, taking turn to leap balletic: throwing rocks with all their might at what can only be described as platoons of armed Israeli robots.

It’s that time of the year when rural Levant populations rush to their olive groves to pick the year’s harvest: generally used for pressing olive oil, pickling olives, and for making olive-based soap and beautification salves.
The timing of olive picking is crucial: it must take place after the second autumn rains – then waiting for two days thereafter for the soil to dry a little. Picking olives any later than that will embitter the flavor and ruin the benefits of the harvest. As you can imagine, this causes an insane rush to pick literally millions of trees in the region, with everyone working to a deadline. This tradition has been going on for thousands of years – even way before the enigmatic Abraham was born. Here in the south of the Lebanon, the pickers are mostly local villagers joined by Syrian refugees who have taken refuge in sleepy villages.
Did the headline get your attention? Well good cuz I’d like to WELCOME EVERYBODY to Plato’s first Pow Wow!
Every so often, I will open a ‘Pow Wow’ thread for life’s general profundities, ridiculous normalities and of course, its splendid grotesques. A so-called ‘open thread’ where, well, where anyone (except for you, Chas) can talk about anything they want. Use the comment section like a community room to share Palestine or non-Palestine topics or personal stories. Anything goes. But it’s best that you come here chilled in the brain, warm in the fingertips and armed with either a Pow or a Wow factor.
Russia is in Syria to stay until the job of ISIS-cleansing from Syria and Iraq is finished with.
The ‘West’ in practice has surrendered to this reality, but they’re such bastard sore losers that they won’t switch off their propaganda machines and paid minions for even a second. Of late, the media has had a stream of continuous misinformation articles against the Russia-Iraq-Iran-Syria security plan that they (the West) have actually already publicly agreed is the correct direction for Russia to take in resolving the ISIS crisis in the Levant. Talk about talking from both sides of mouth!

They don’t call it Russian roulette for nothing. Get a six-shooter, load it with a single bullet called Destiny, spin the chamber, point the barrel an inch above your ear, any ear – now wait or don’t wait – now squint or don’t squint – think or don’t think – now flashback or don’t – now weep or unweep now breathe and don’t breathe now laugh and don’t laugh so dammit what the heck you waiting for?! Pull the goddamn trigger!
‘Clink’.
Pot luck, you’re still alive.
You lost five pounds of sweat in just under a minute. But you’re alive.
Now it’s Putin’s turn. Shootin’ hootin’ tootin Putin – it’s his turn.
You hand him the gun. He takes it. He looks down at you even though he’s shorter than you. How the hell does he do that, you wonder?

Woohoo! A little Irish gig is in order here!
As you can see, I have kept the minimalism design and added a drop-down menu, found top left hand of homepage (a stack of three lines as symbol).
For the good reader/visitor, I have archived everything methodically now, please refer to the menu when searching for articles by me or by my NewsStand. The archives are now divided into two categories: ‘Taxi’s Articles’ and ‘NewsStand Articles“.

Bibi: Goddam this moonshine’s good – give me s’more, you give me s’more now!
General Zee: Think you’ve had enough – should go home now and–
Bibi: Awww put a sock in it – just hand the bottle over – I’m in the middle of having a great fish-fish… fision, fizion, vison, vijon, I mean vision of this great big bad–
General Zee: Mr. Prime Minister, I urge you please stop drinking or you’ll–
Bibi snatches the bottle of moonshine from the General’s hand and takes a long spilling swig.

The Palestinian today is a human slingshot and the stone in hand is the wrath of the land upon the cruel invader.
To have endured close to seven remorseless decades of daily brutality and death and to not have surrendered deserves earnest applause and fecund tears from the high sky. The patient ones are rewarded by the gods, they say. If this be true, then the enduring practice of Sumud has by now become an added survival organ in the Palestine body. Sumud as dear and silent clinging to life. A fixated insistence on justice. Sumud as higher love. The virtue that needs to be taught to child and suffering hostage alike.
My how the Russian boot suddenly landed heavy and sure on Syria’s soil.
How Israel gasped with surprise and dread to see the giant footprint and realize that its lauded Air Force no longer has the monopoly on Syrian skies.
Soberly it knew only too well that the Merkava is no match for even Hezbollah and Russian subs are a boat ride up the coast – checking Israeli frigates and pirates.
Suddenly Israel has no total freedom of the skies, checked on land and out at sea too.

I was going to leave this as a comment on MW but decided against it because I suddenly realized that I much prefer to write it up for my own blog – simple as that. But I will be linking it there and people who come to Plato’s to read it will then be able to comment, if they feel so inclined, without gatekeepers reading over their shoulders.
Why James North’s promotion of Max Blumenthal’s book fails as a review is what interests me here, not Blumentha’s book itself. So here’s what I’d like to say to James North after reading his promotional and uncritical review of Max Blumentha’s latest book – James’ article is headlined: ‘Why the mainstream media is still ignoring Max Blumenthal’s excellent book on Gaza’.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is a HUGE and unaddressed problem with anti-goyism within the Jewish branches of the Palestine movement. And it is disheartening and disappointing that honorable leaders of the movement and other non-aligned individuals, both Jewish and non-Jewish are not addressing it in public for the benefit of the movement’s solidrity. What are we waiting for? Permission? Permission from whom exactly? Really now! It’s high time the anti-goy card is put face up on the table and examined.

We already know that Adleson and Saban held a secret anti BDS summit not too long ago and assigned some Forty Million Dollars to the cause of “fighting BDS”. Well, now we know where some of that money is going to: skanky bloggers who are out there smearing activists in the most disgusting way – literally referring to them as “pedophiles” for defending the children of Gaza. My advice here is two-pronged. First, relentlessly beat the shit out of the offending deranged zionists on the bloggosphere. Second: all smeared activists really need to gather themselves as one and class-action sue the living daylights out of the writers of such filth and fuckeries.

Almost six months ago, I set up Plato’s Guns as a newsstand to share articles and information with readers, as well as a platform for open, uncensored discussion of the simultaneous Zionist occupation of Palestine and our Congress – including also discussion on middle eastern geopolitical topics as they relate to our American Empire. Having either been muzzled or banned from most I/P discussion sites, it was necessary to set up a place where no gatekeepers operated. I have also taken advantage of this self-created freedom by penning occasional analysis articles and publishing them here on Plato’s. I highly encourage and invite others to pen articles on their topic of interest and to submit them to Plato’s for publication. Community participation is essential for Plato’s growth – be it through the comment section or through article publishing.

America in the Middle East: we’re playing so many sides against each other – juggling swords and nukes and oil pipes in the eye of a firestorm.
Why? And where is this all leading to?
Apparently, it is all for us, for us and only us – it is all for the benefit of America: the greatest ever Empire in the whole history of mankind. This is why we do what we do in the Middle East and it is all leading to… the end of Israel.
THE ‘ROUNDTABLE’ SAGA CONTINUES…

Okay, so the word is now out. JVP and EtO leaderships are supremist scumbags that have been operating with a sub-agenda that protects zionists and jewish reputations, not the primary victim nation of Palestine – and most certainly not the interests of our country.
Almost a week later and not a pip-squeak from either leadership or their egghead primo supporters as to where we go from here. So we just stand now either side of the drawn line in the sand and… do exactly what? Ogle and dart hostilities at each other? Shout at each other and make rude gestures across the dividing line? What the…?!!!

Check your tribalism at the door, please. Roll your sleeve up, check your own pulse. Now clean your ears, clear your throat, do some eyeball exercises – shake your wrists, wiggle your fingers, roll your neck, now crack your neck and let’s get cracking! Welcome to the collective Palestine movement! You may now enter.
Aaaah it was good to have the long overdue JVP/Weir discussion. Finally MW opened a window and let in some fresh air. But why did the MW editors leave the room soon as lanes of oxygen flooded in? It would be a good thing for MW editors to let us know where they stand on ‘GatekeeperGate’. Are they for gatekeeping the Palestine debate or are they against it? It’s a very simple question, really. A succinct yes or no from the editors would suffice. The longer they take to answer, the more the reader will wonder about the genuineness of their agenda. One assumes and hopes that MW editors are 100% against any scurrilous Machiavellian activities in the Palestine movement, including dishonorable activities by their personal friends, associates or patrons. But we need to hear that from the horse’s mouth. Make it official, MW. Stand up, Phil and Adam, and let your voices be counted and recorded for posterity and for history.

No doubt those of us who’ve been around the Mondoweiss block a few times have seen its gradual morphing from Phil Weiss’s sanguine personal blog to a media arm for the dubious JVP corp.
How visions change when the poet is reduced to using borrowed words: waxing un-lyrical at the drunken image in the mirror. How easy for some to abandon the principles of revolution in the name of small celebrity. How sad that the bird should desire the cage.

This summer some in the Palestinian solidarity community have been involved in a debate over Alison Weir of If Americans Knew following Jewish Voice for Peace’s decision to not work with her and the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation’s decision to ask her organization to leave its coalition due to violation of its anti-racism principles. Several readers have asked why we haven’t covered it and the simple answer is that we have devoted our time and resources to other important news stories which we have viewed as a greater priority, the Iran deal and increase in settler violence to name a few. However, we understand that this site plays a role in the Palestine solidarity movement as a place to reflect and debate, not only on the news of the day but on the movement itself. For that reason we are publishing the following three submissions we received on the division within the movement.
One thing I can say about off-road camping under cedar trees is that it gently tilts the axis of your world-view. It is impossible for human hands to plant seeds of hubris in the wilds of a cedar forest; or in any other grand, natural environment for that matter. When you are standing before a majestic gathering of ancient trees, modern civilization is but an afterthought with a bitter aftertaste. The inhaled pure life-force of the scented air may have something to do with one’s sudden altered state and the realization that the world you left behind is but a nightmare of increasing miseries. The pointlessness of truth in the mouths of liars struck me the hardest on this camping trip. It would take me years to elaborate on this philosophical point, but suffice it to say that when insidious liars and propagandists perpetually hijack the truth for their own political ends, the sheep of humanity indeed are hopelessly lost to the belly of the wolf.

Dear Readers and Friends,
Tomorrow I’ll be going camping for a couple of days with friends and dogs – there is no internet connection in the wilds of the ceder mountains where I’m heading so there will be no new activities on Platos till later on in the week.

I’m so freaking bored today. Scanning through numerous news sites and their silly headlines. I really can’t take it anymore. Since the Iran deal signing, nothing but drab sci-fi from the losers. Even worse, nothing but tepid modesty from the winners.
How long will this media nothingness go on for?
Maybe it’s just me and I’m on news overload.
More like bullshit overload.

Now that the golden dust of the Iran deal has somewhat settled and literally a deluge of analysis on the deal in multiple languages has been published and consumed by the global interested masses, all that’s left now is to watch how the powers of the biggest losers in this deal, Saudi Arabia and Israel, will be slowly imploding before our eyes.
To describe the reactions of both these loser countries as that of a hysteric is to put it mildly. They lost the supreme and highly prized geo-political Super Bowl; they lost American Idol and Arab Idol and the coveted Olympics all on the same night. Much chest beating was reported and their wild and haunting wails of crushing agony were heard even by NASA’s radars all the way out on Pluto’s surface this week.

Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Oman started it all. He was the original initiator and architect of the Iran rapprochement. Almost three years ago, he ingeniously set up the initial peace meetings between the USA and Iran. Secret meetings that went on for six whole months right under the radars of the Mossad and every other intelligence agency on the planet. Without Qaboos’ peace-seeking visionary initiative to break the hostile ice between the two foes, America and Iran would not be here today celebrating a golden victory for peace and international diplomacy. All praise and gratitude should first go to this man who worked of his own volition; worked quietly and humbly throughout to bring an alternative to war in a region already ripped by non-state and state terrorism alike. Against virtually insurmountable obstacles, he calculated and worked on behalf of peace. He is a brave leader in a region full of narcissistic and despotic leaders. Even though I am an anti-monarchist, as I’m sure practically everyone who reads Plato’s is, I must here give credit where credit is due. Qaboos behaved honorably for the benefit of not just his country, but for the people of his region as a whole – for humanity. He is a true universalist. He is a Peace Hawk.
Buried deep inside an occupied mountain in the holy land is a room with no windows. Inside this room, seven nervous men sit at a roundtable. These men have not smiled in nine years. They have not had a good night sleep in nine years. They have not had a day off since Israel lost the war against Hezbollah in 2006 and Israel’s deterrence capability took a dangerous and public nose-dive.
Ever since then, these seven analysts, each with their own specialist file have congregated together to analyze new and growing existential dangers, and to find an effective way to reverse Israel’s strategic misfortunes. They have not once left this windowless room – they cannot leave this room without a workable solution in hand. The dark circles around their eyes say it all. By now, very little is spoken between them – and often in whispers. They wring hands. They pass maps to each other. They pass files with the word ‘classified’ stamped skewered in bold red.

In the past couple of weeks, while the global Zionist media has been looking into Syria’s trash can for any rot and filth to publish on the beleaguered nation, the Syrian army alongside its battle-hardened ally Hezbollah have been systematically annihilating hundreds of terrorists in the four corners of Syria. They have been doing so with gusto but also with no media fanfare, preferring instead to focus solely on changing the facts on the ground to their strategic advantage. Preferring to conduct a raging war under raging stars without the need for publicity or the sunlight of official statements.
This is a new PR strategy for Syria who’s been bending over backwards trying to defend its narrative and legitimacy in the eyes of the world for the past four years. We can attribute this change of behavior to Hezbollah’s influence and how it operates: fight hard in silence, and only if it absolutely and strictly benefits the cause, release an occasional statement or two to keep your own supporters informed. In other words: fight away and utterly ignore what the Western world thinks – fight away and fuck what the Israelis and their global Zionist media do with the information vacuum.

The American pro Palestine community is divided. Clearly, there is an aggressive attempt by a certain Jewish camp to dominate the narrative and set the boundaries of freedom of speech within the community. On the other hand, there are the resistors to this attempted domination. I will not go into parsing the details of the JVP-Weir wars here, as they’re already known. But I will say this: to question authority using the sword of reason is healthy and in fact it is a necessary activity.
The pro Palestine community has two kinds of infiltrators: the despicable antisemite and the despicable anti-gentile. A Jewish contingency within the community, more specifically JVP, has taken it upon themselves to weed out the antisemite amongst us using McCarthy-like tactics and their fault-susceptible broad definition of an antisemite. I understand the absolute necessity of weeding out undesirables – but it has to be done for non-personal and legitimate reasons – and the ousting must be agreed upon by both Jew and Gentile groups, and not just solely by one side.
R.I.P. Charleston victims and all other victims of violent racism.
Sure Jon is sincere but is he so foolish as to think that banning a flag will actually stop racism in America? Or anywhere else in the world for that matter?
To me, as an American presently located in the southern Levant, exposed daily via local media to pictorial and film reels of people being mascaraed in their houses of worship and elsewhere, exposed to the wanton torture of civilians and prisoners of war etc., well… I see no difference between a suicide bomber blowing himself up in a crowded mosque and the mass shooting massacre that took place in the Charleston Church a few days ago.

So Donald the Trumpet wants to be president of the United States. And Lindsey Graham crackers wants it too. Jeb the Bushka will give it a go and Rand Paul and Hillary Ono and Bernie Sanders – uhuh Bernie too.

BDS haters are out in force. They’re everywhere you look on mainstream media and they’re everywhere on alternative net media. It is obvious that a sudden deluge of seething hasbara on the information highway is being unleashed by Sheldon Adleson’s millions and media minions. And they’re all weirdly jittery yet angry that BDS got this far – they’re furiously scribbling away belittling fisty tirades at the tangible upsurge of BDS’s popularity around the globe. They’re bearing their teeth menacingly and demonizing and smearing with accusations of… well, you know what – they’re hating on BDS and whinging and lying through rattled teeth and fuming nostrils.
Wonderful to witness this level of desperate hasbara.
Attacking Yemen – experimenting on the poorest populations in the world – yet again.
The Global Military Industrial Complex. Hope y’all out there realize that they’ll never let us bankrupt their businesses or disarm their clients. They will kill us all way before they ever let that happen.
They are insanely wealthy and they have all the guns in the world – literally. We don’t stand a chance against them in this context.

Man! The House of Saud is so pissed it can’t win in Yemen and it still can’t stop Iran’s spreading regional hegemony – so much so that for a few years now the Saudi regime has been sending out armies of terrorists to behead, cannibalize, rape, loot, pillage, mass murder and indiscriminately destroy human and animal life – wipe out ancient monuments and desecrate profound histories right across the Arab fold – and all this wanton death and mayhem: just to stop Iran’s organic progress as a regional power.
All over the middle east and especially in the Levant, the wicked House of Saud has been hyper-actively spreading what can only be only described as an epic Hollywood Blockbuster production of blood and gore, down to the immaculate styling of their black-clad terrorist army and their Hollywood-cheeseball black flags.

A few days ago, Jamie Dettmer wrote a piece for the Daily Beast: “Shaky Assad Sacks an Intel Chief”: https://platosguns.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/shaky-assad-sacks-an-intel-chief-jamie-dettmerthe-daily-beast/ce
In his article Dettmer claims that Bashar’s top intelligence guy had been sacked after a string of failures on the battlefield and some kinda weird infighting with the Iranians. Throughout the article, Dettmer was basically goading his readers into believing that Bashar’s grip on power was “shaky”, slipping etc.

Our zionist congress is the biggest and most lethal crime syndicate on the planet. Ever. Especially considering the mass of exotic and lethal array of weaponry at their disposal.
In their hands, our tax dollars are being converted into gathering lakes of blood.
We are feeding, clothing, sheltering, arming and training large armies of frenzied head-choppers. True dark evil is being done to millions of innocent people under the leadership and instruction of our zionist congress.
It’s a problem when our government invests our tax dollars into stoking hatred and enabling, nay, committing mass death on poverty-struck populations in faraway lands.
It’s a problem and I don’t know the solution. I only know that voting doesn’t work. Evidently.
Yes, the forecast is bleak and oblique, Mr. Johnson.
I just scrolled down the day’s posted headlines and man there is so much hate and war and instruments of slaughter and ammo and blood and limbs and endless human sacrifice all at the alter of greed for power. The progress of dark forces is quite rapid – breathtaking really – and not in a good way. So I’ll leave you with a musical equalizer; and I bid you goodnight from the quiet yet troubled undertows of the Levant.

*TAXI’S NOTE: For every faraway child Israel rescues, how many has it made still-born, homeless, sick, traumatized, maimed or massacre in nearby Gaza?… What a bunch of infanticidal, psychotic liars zionists are! The article below demonstrates how Israel baby-washes its infanticidal crimes against all Palestinian children.

Nothing makes me crazier with rage than to see children abused by grown men in uniform!
There are literally thousands of images of the Israeli Defense Force violently arresting Palestinian kids – sample and be informed:

We’ve read much analysis on why Saudi Arabia is attacking Yemen and heard accusations of criminal hypocrisy against the USA for supporting Saudi Arabia’s attack on the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula. But we haven’t yet established why the USA would allow yet another destabilizing war in the Mideast, a violent war taking place right at the gates of the world’s largest oil fields.
On the surface, it would seem odd that the USA would approve of a war that could easily get out of control and threaten to jeopardize global industries and the health of our global economy. But… there is method in Empire’s madness.
America intends to remove the House of Saud from power.

I heard an analyst on Almayadeen TV yesterday say that first and foremost, the nuke deal is a victory for the Iranian “culture of good manners”. That it was specifically Rohani’s and Zarif’s exceptionally good manners that greased the deal forward from scratch.
The second victory for Iran is the overnight propulsion of Iran from “rogue” state in Western eyes, to peace-and-prosperity partner.
The third victory is that Iran has finally been recognized by the world as an important regional superpower, in close competition today with isreal and Saudi Arabia, therefore able to now legitimately exert geopolitical influence in the region.

Iran, Iran, Iran – it’s all obsessively about Iran! Iran is so deeply loathed and feared in the Saudi kingdom that they’re choking on their own pathological venom and lashing out at Iran’s weakest ally, Yemen. Saudi’s all-consuming hate of Iran is remarkably like isreal’s all-consuming hate of Iran.
Begs the question here: why does the King of Saudi Arabia and his council of Wahabis fear Iran to such a level of dark profundity?

Netanyahu’s victory is the loudest public declaration yet from israel that not only is the 2SS truly dead, but that the Oslo Agreement too is now null and void and lying in state in a twin coffin.
Mr. Ban Ki Moon knows this but his suit and position force him into giving mere lip service to the utopian but unrealistic idea of a 2SS. http://news.yahoo.com/u-n-says-expects-israel-continue-middle-east-153111681.html

How many of them will be hitting the bottle today if Netanyahu loses?
I reckon a lot of them don’t give a shit about Netanyahu. But they’re gonna be drinking their sorry asses off anyway cuz backing a loser, especially with copious standing ovations, ain’t exactly gonna look too good in the eyes of their constituents.
Greetings dear readers and friends. You’ll all forgive the current technical intrusions on Plato’s website – this will only be for a few more days: my techie is working on installing a new theme at the moment. The old streamlined, clean ‘look’ will remain the same (you know me and my hate of clutter and net-noise!). I’ve had to change theme as the one that I was using got old and its designers stopped updating the plugins – this was causing much grief for the lone, non-techie administrator (me).
Considering the seismic events in Jerusalem of late, of course I will be writing something about it soon as the technical work on the site itself is completed. Actually, I plan to write about the geopolitical overview in the region and this includes, of course, the new developments on the status of Jerusalem.
I’m not sure if the comment section to this article is yet functioning – but keep checking in for the comment box installation if you want to leave a comment – I’m expecting it to be fixed in the next 24 hours.
I trust everyone is well and enjoying their lives. I certainly am! Especially thrilled with Trump’s Jerusalem announcement. I can’t tell you how happy I get when Israel makes a dumb move – and in this case, more than dumb… suicidal! Yaaay! What a godsend – what a golden opportunity!!!
Take care y’all – see you around in a few days.
