Hiatus Till War Breaks Out

This is not an article, but a personal announcement.

We all know that members of the Axis of Resistance currently have the weapons, the intel, the training, and the indelible resolve to go to war with Israel and defeat it.  They have both ability and capability to remove the illegal and immoral Jewish colony from existence altogether.  A petrified Israel and its concerned allies also know this inevitability only too well.  Therefore, the game being aggressively played by Israel right now is the ‘delay game’ that employs war-by-other-means.  Anything but to face the Axis of Resistance on the battlefield.  Anything!  Anything will do for now, in the small hope that the future may change the current anemic chances of an Israeli victory in the next war.  Therefore, what we all see presently is Israel and its Axis of Evil cabal employing political, diplomatic, economic, social and cyber warfare against all the Resistor nations, especially against the Lebanon: home of Hezbollah, whom Israel fears the most.

This current status quo of war-by-other-means can go on for months.  Even for years.  No one knows the exact date of the next war.  But we all know that a BIG war is coming to the Levant.  And we all know that the natives will be the victorious ones.

But, war tomorrow or not, daily life for us observers must still go on.  Personal projects must still be completed.  Personal dreams and bucket lists must continue to be pursued to one’s satisfaction.  And all this, indeed, requires investing one’s time appropriately and methodically.

This past month or so, my personal circumstances have changed.  To be clear, it was an internal change and not an external one.  I have been feeling of late that my time spent on monitoring the multi-tentacles of the news is a waste of my time – that my interest in the methods and machinations of this Israeli ‘war-by-other-means’ is fast diminishing.  I have asked myself to pinpoint what exactly is my political interest and to focus thus on it, and only on it.  Time and again, the answer to this question has been the coming existential war against Israel.  Nothing else interests me any more except for when the actual war clock strikes.  ONLY THE COMING WAR INTERESTS ME.  Not the desperate, Jewish bullshit incessantly shoveled out in the meantime.  Not the Israeli-manufactured distractions and delays.  Not even internal Lebanese politics interest me these days.  To be sure, internal Lebanese affairs are only getting worse, but the wily Lebanese will figure it out eventually.  Although it currently finds itself in dire straits as a nation, yet the Lebanon remains a major, regional power to reckon with.  This is of great comfort as it is this very regional power, via Hezbollah, that assures me that victory for the Axis of Resistance is but merely awaiting on the horizon.  The death of Israel is already a fait accompli, one could say. 

Internal Syrian, Palestinian, Iraqi, Iranian, Yemeni, Algerian etc politics do not interest me either.  They too will figure out their internal, political complications – complications that do not actually interfere with their readiness to go to war against the terrorist Jewish state.  All the nations and members of the Axis of Resistance remain ready for war despite the manufactured internal crisis dumped on them by Israel and its Axis of Evil allies.  The Axis of Resistance’s fighting forces and their war-architects are not distracted by internal strife – and they will never be distracted.  They remain focused on the prize: the liberation of the whole of Historic Palestine that will bring with it the eviction of hostile, Western and Jewish interference in their national affairs.

As you all also know, I am not a journalist.  My writing interests have always been more literary than journalistic.  At this stage of my life, it is a waste of my time to give exceptional time to Israeli-manufactured political loops and ruses.  Therefore, I have decided to spend my time immersed in literature and away from politics, till the BIG war breaks out.  I am only interested in the war that will destroy modern Israel.  Simply, nothing else is of political interest to me except the coming existential war that will liberate not just the Levant, but the Mideast region altogether.

There really is no more to say on this matter than this.

I hope, dear friends and readers, that the above explains my reluctance to continue to nurture Plato’s Guns on a daily basis via daily, current-affairs commentary and new articles. 

In order to give readers a chance to comment on Plato’s new hiatus, I will have the comment section to this article open for a few days, after which, I will close it till war breaks out in the (hopefully sooner than later) future.  Or, till a truly consequential and momentous event brings the Levant to the brink of war.

May we all live long enough to see the absolute crushing of the terrorist state of Israel and all of its evil allies.

      I am moved by your understanding and your kinds words.  Thank you, dearest Caryl.

      I am neither out nor down: I am just temporarily pondering in a garden instead of the jungle.

  1. Taxi says:

    Some of my literary writings involve the topic of war.  Impossible to avoid this topic that currently canopies the world.  But my literary approach to war is not political – rather, it deals with the human condition in times of war – it observes the highs and lows of the archetypal battle between good and evil.

    If you will indulge me please, I will below share three examples of poems I've recently penned on the subject of war.  I'm more inclined to share poetics than politics these days.  I really cannot muster writing any political commentary.  So very bored and utterly disgusted I am with politics these days.

    Unknown Soldier

     

    In the afterglow
    Of murder
    An out of body
    Experience
    And a silence
    Prickled
    By lunatic
    Breath,
    The corpse
    With cracked
    Knuckles
    And slashed neck
    Heaves one last time
    Remembering
    One last time
    Mother’s soft teat
    In mouth

    Who will bury you now
    But forest of clocks
    Arms of ivy
    And saliva of worm?
    Who will sing you
    The lullaby
    Abandoned
    Behind the bars
    Of your cot?

    Ghost horse
    Gallops
    Over your rib cage
    But no life kicks

    You are a box
    Empty
    Now
    But for a ream
    Of black ribbon
    On black helmet:
    A gift to midnight
    To forgotten requiem
    Of tormented vulture
    Perched there
    On your stillness

    Unknown soldier
    Lover of sepia
    Fire and film
    Lover
    Of clashing cymbals
    Amazed
    At the maze
    Of existence
    Repulsed
    By the cacophony
    Of inner silence
    Here now your
    Blood and spleen
    Your quixotism
    Coursing through
    Your final thought
    Where no one beckons
    But the last
    Wafting blanket
    Of nothingness
    And a single winged
    Suitcase
    Full of your mistakes
    Butchery
    And the black
    Folded handkerchiefs
    Of rendered widows

    … You were born
    Unarmed
    A stranger
    To this world
    And stuffed
    With regret
    And the morphine
    Of gunpowder
    You die
    Armed
    Estranged
    Unarrangeable
    No different to
    A discarded
    Cog of wheel
    On the battlefield

    Too soon forgotten
    By history’s children.

    War Bride

     

    How many lovers
    Can claim
    Fornicating with cannibals
    With killers and crushers
    Of children’s bones
    And skulls of lilies

    How many brides
    Are fearful
    Of creeping nightfall
    Terrorized
    By the eerie arias
    Of the maniacal
    Hallucinators of god

    Oh child bride in black
    Raped
    And raped again
    Let me size your breasts
    Pert with unchained
    Desire for suicide

    Let me be you
    So I may know you
    If but for a dark
    And deranged moment:

    How many like you have forgotten
    The voice of mother
    In the black blink of an eye
    Oh traumatized
    Petal mouth
    You are no more the sweet-lipped
    Pixie
    The princesses of your father
    You now know only to daydream
    Of smaller wounds
    In the arms of your bloodstained
    Abductor

    Your caged destitution
    Looping evermore
    A weeping wasteland
    In a time warp
    Fingering minefields
    Behind tortured eyelids
    Where no one wails with you
    Not even your headless doll
    Crawling on knees
    To hide inside
    Your mattress of bones

    You sob branded
    By your rapist
    Your fingernails
    Cut your wrist by moonlight
    To forget the stench
    Of his Captagon smile
    But your orphaned vein
    Is now empty
    Hollow mother of pearl
    For eyeballs

    Time without choice
    Your stolen childhood
    Wrecked on his groin
    But no never no more
    You will not conceive
    In the charred chambers
    Of terror and rape
    You will not surrender
    Your dream hymen
    To oozing talon
    And the repulsive testicles
    Of a human heart-eater
    You will never capitulate
    Or blush or flush
    Like a pink rose on the vine
    When soon enough you will halt
    This funereal honeymoon
    Reverse the sex mount
    And ravish your rapist
    With a suicide belt

    Between your bare bellies.

    War Child

     

    I live
    Between two bullets charging
    At each other

    I see my closing eyes
    In the speeding shine of metal
    And I am shot
    A single hair at a time

    I live thus
    Thin with loss
    All day the bullets
    All night the drums of my heart

    But my head is brave as stone
    And my lips still tender:
    The last soft of me
    Kissing my dying mother
    By the cradle of war
    And by the grave of peace

    My last hair is shot.

  5. George Galloway 

    Zionist George Galloway = Mossad

    Why the Muslims see this Zionist shill as an Ally is beyond me. 

    In reality it would make him an enemy of the state (GB) yet this rat can walk safely, and freely, in and around Parliament and London as if on a holiday jaunt, yet, get any true nationalist running for a seat in the house of swill and it reveals'' all the parties merge as one including his 'RESPECT' = Muslim party wolf crying the anti racist and Hollywood Nazi rhetoric at the nationalists to silence the debate. 

    Galloway is supposedly, shouts and supports Hezbollah, the so called Nationalist resistance against Jewish Zionism yet all his waffle, clichés re Nationalist suit the Zionist agenda. He is a contradiction…one hand helps and supports Hezbollah with all his moral buzz words but yet he condemns his own nation and people from having that same protectionist resistance our folk … try to apply that same logic for our people against Jewish Zionism' So if he is supporting Hamas the question should be''  … Who is Hamas? 

    One should ask; Why don't Muslims see through his dialectic that is controlled opposition, cant Muslims see through his contradiction, cant they see it is he and shills like him who advances Jewish Zionism and ultimately Israel, all these things should be ringing alarm bells for Muslims but then ask yourself what sort of Muslim does he walk with ? 

    Galloway's track record reveals his logic; "Palestine for Arabs" and "Europe for Arabs" and "Ho£ocau$e deniers in prison".

    Yet he stays silent re the true genocide 'Holodomor' the true genocide of our European folk by his Jewish friends …Just like the Imam allows the real Muslims to be blamed for 911.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, dear Peter.  I do share your frustrations.  George Galloway was married to a Palestinian lady and has 3 or 4 children by her, I believe.  This, of course, does not negate the possibility of him being on mossad's payroll.  Maybe yes, maybe no – you and I will never truly know.  But what is evident in him is his fucking cowardice that indeed serves israel's interest.  Only once in a millennial blue moon do we get a politician who is both righteous in thought and words, AND brave in deed.  Galloway lacks courage in action – same as all the other pro Palestine politicos in the West.  And his biggest fear appears to be labelled a 'holocaust denier'.  He fears imprisonment for this above all else.  He is not a genuine warrior.  For years now I've been turned off him because he does not walk the talk.  Often, he will make it a point to repeat that 'there is a difference between zionism and judaism', when it is a fact that zionism is political judaism: born out of the evil talmud.  We need politicians who are not afraid to state this fact.  We need politicians who are prepared to be imprisoned for their righteous beliefs.  Wake me up when the fucker Galloway grows some truth gonads.

  6. Canthama says:

    Taxi, though Plato is an awesome platform to meet people and discuss about ME events, it is hard to keep and time consuming, the world news are a powerful distraction, and it is indeed desired and oushed down by the evil people trying to rule from the top, the more info, fake news and false flags the less focus from people the want to resist. 

    Stay strong, healthy spiritually, physically and mentally for the war that is coming, the war won't be with Israle alone, it is a world war, everywhere, we will all be with you on the frontline.

    My deepest gratitude for hosting exiled Syrpers at Platosguns, we will meet again when the war is closer, big hugs and greetings from Brazil.

    • Taxi says:

      Many thanks for your support and love, dear Canthama. It has been nothing but a true pleasure to meet you and your fellow Syrpers. You have all been amazingly well-informed and engaging, contributing nothing but excellence and wit to Plato’s discussion board. You have all added forged iron to Plato’s breastplate. Thank you so very much from the depth of my being.

      We will all regroup and meet again, no doubt. And in the meantime, the only thing worth remembering is that our heroic team is STILL winning despite the insidious evil they face daily. Do as the enemy may, our team’s missiles remain firmly pointed at telfuckingaviv. The enemy has zero chance of surviving.

      And one last thought: israel would like for the coming war on it to become a world war, but I do not think it will stretch to that extent. If the Levant war is prolonged, it may very well become regional, at best – and even this is doubtful in my mind as the Gulfies for instance are just as cowardly as the jews are and they will pay trillions to NOT have a war take place on their territories. That aside, I fail to see how israel can manage to stretch out a Levantean war into a regional one when israel itself can be destroyed by the Axis of Resistance missiles in 2-3 days. Heh!

      Whichever way the coming war turns and however long it takes, one thing is for sure: it’s sayonara for israel.

  7. Florian Geyer says:

     

    I too have wanted the demise of the cruel Israeli junta for about 50 years.

    The Khazar Israeli concept  that ' God Gave us these lands ' is laughable when we consider that the Khazars are, and always have been Godless brutes weaned on banditry and cruel murder.

    The Khazars are not semitic and never will be. Its not by accident that the Khazars have been expelled from the vast majority of European states for long periods. The English even expelled them for 220 years. The Khazars funded Oliver Cromewll to ignite the civil war, in order to slither back into England after Cromwells victory.

    Khazars have always feared and despised  the Anglo Saxons and Germanic people and this is why Europe is now being flooded with economic migrants from devasted countries that the Khazars have poured gasoline on so that the US can light a match.

    • Taxi says:

      Hiya Florian! And thank you for your comment. Every single word in every single line you wrote is absolutely true and on the money. The shapeshifting, khazarian identity thieves and warmongers fit the classic description of the devil himself. They ARE the fucking embodiment of the devil on earth! Sure, gentiles have done evil deeds throughout history, but no gentile lineage has carried an extremist ideology of hate and prejudice in their breast for several millennia like the jews have. Cold, black stone where lays their heart – that’s how deranged their actual DNA has become by now for harboring their intense hate for humanity over eons and eons. The talmudic ideology gave birth to the Jesus-hating christian zionists, as indeed it gave birth to Mohammad-hating wahabis too. I consider the talmud to be the most hate-filled ideology the world has ever known, and I consider its followers, the jews, as deserving of permanent eviction from our planet.

  8. Bornajoo says:

    Dear Taxi 

    A huge thank you for all the time, energy and on-the-ground knowledge you have so selflessly given us these past years. I am truly grateful

    What you say makes total sense. Nothing matters now except for coming war. We are all impatient for this war but we know that the AoR will strike only when the time is exactly right.

    And at that time we will regroup and rejoice

    Thank you for posting some of your poems above which absolutely reinforces why you've come to your recent decision. Your are incredibly talented and I'm glad you've chosen to focus those talents where you will derive a greater internal satisfaction

    Keep well, stay safe! 

    • Taxi says:

      Hello and sincere thanks to you, dear Bornajoo. So very many kind words from you – as always. For a good decade now, you have shown me nothing but support and love. My little Plato’s Guns project is worth every drop of time I’ve put into it because it brought beautiful people like yourself to my small corner of the world. I really do appreciate our enduring friendship. Yourself and Gilad Atzmon are my two favorite ex jews. And how can any sane and peace-loving person not love an ex jew? Heh!

  9. AriusArmenian says:

    I understand exactly. I live in the US and have a similar focus: the rise of the multifarious East and the decline, defeat, neutralizing, exhausting, whatever it takes to end the US Empire of Insanity. The Israel settler state I include in the West – its defeat will be part of the defeat of the West. Israel is an existential issue for the region – the US/West is an existential issue for the survival of humanity.

    My hope for Lebanon is that it turns away from the US/UK/EU to the SCO, Russia, China, Syria, and Iran. The West will torture Lebanon until kicked out.

    • Taxi says:

      Thank you so much for your visit and comment, dear Arius. (Always loved your name btw). Like yourself, I too am utterly disgusted and enraged by Empire Nasty. I too have lost interest in the US’s internal politics – I mean how shallow would you have to be to get obsessively hung up on someone’s skin color, or on their genitalial inclinations? I find the whole race and gender-identification issues boring-boring-boring! So fucking cookie-cutter-tribal-boring! I find ALL branches of identitarianism intellectually suffocating for their lack of depth of insight into the human condition, and for their lack of thought-oxygen. For years now I’ve only cared to observe, with deep grief and mortification, Empire’s mass-murdering foreign policy become more and more zioconed and ziofucked. Like you, every day I wish for severe poetic justice to kick Empire’s brains out. I’m sure, like you too, no tears will be shed when Pax Americana’s jugular is eventually slashed. By a dying israeli hand, probably.

    Stay strong, my brother.

    Where can we we find your more artistic writings?

    The pendulum is swinging back.  Truth shall overcome.

    Thank you

     

     

     

    • Taxi says:

      Many thanks for your support and kind words, dear Anonymous. Yes, the pendulum is swinging back – faster, faster, I plead with it daily!

      And to answer your question about my ‘other’ writings… Well, it’s like this: I am one of the rare people who does NOT actually want to be famous. It’s a real mental dilemma for me because all literary writers need to be published. When I start writing something new, I write with the vague aspiration of getting published, then soon as I’ve finished a project, I lose interest in selling it and just put it to the side: justifying this action with ‘art for art’s sake only’, or, ‘published or not, what difference does it make’? I’m a purist-nihilist in this regard. Perhaps this will change with the current project – am feeling less of a shrinking violet these days (I suffered from painful shyness throughout my childhood and my youth, and still get waves of it every now and then as a mature adult). I may now very well bypass the whole cold submission to publishers shebang and just go for self-publishing online – not really to make money (there’s usually no money in poetry or art-driven prose), but just for the sake of record and history. Should I decide to self-publish sometime next year, I will let Plato’s readers know about it come the time.

      *[And just to quietly say that I’ve been at this writing thing all my life. I spent my youth in London as an underground poet (as opposed to what they call an ‘Uxbridge’ poet (meaning academic), reciting my poetry in public for years and getting published by alt zines and publications that are now defunct (I wore dark shades during these poetry performances to help me overcome my lingering shyness). Then, for many years, I worked with avant-garde composers: creating/marrying poems to sound textures (years before the phrase ‘spoken word’ was coined). Virgin records became interested in what I was doing and signed me to a ‘development deal’ that fell apart after three years of their nonsense (turned me off the concept of fame for life!). Post this, I became a screenwriter and screen-doctor in Hollywood to make money (but I wouldn’t exactly call that “artistic” writing). I left Los Angeles a decade ago to come and live in south Lebanon, with the idea of changing scenery and permanently returning to my poetic roots.]

      And btw, dear anonymous, I am a sister and not a “brother” heh. But you may use any pronoun on me – it doesn’t bother me at all as long as you don’t call me a jew (cough-cough heh!).

    Dear Taxi, A sister! With your kind of literary bang, I thought for sure you were a bro!  I stumbled upon you one day and have looked forward to your articles ever since for information but mostly for courage. Your optimism and faith in the Axis of Resistance was like none other. I will miss you. Thank you for not pussy footing around!  You are something else. Sincerely from an old American "hippy chick."

    Hey, Taksi!

    Welcome back and see ya later…and thanks for all the insights, information, perseverance

    and passion.

    London? Underground poet?

    Well, frayed and yellowing, but I still have my copy of Horovitz's, Children of Albion 🙂

    All the best!

     

    • Taxi says:

      Oh man thanks a bunch for the chuckle, dear John.

      I’m afraid the Beat Generation was before my time, although I did attend a festival of Beat Poetry with Alan Ginsberg as headliner at London’s Albert Hall (I think it was in the early ’90’s). I discovered on that night that Ginsberg was more of an indulgent and boring poetaster than an exciting and illuminating poet. I thought his whole histrionic ‘brand’ was riding on the coattails of his one-hit-wonder collection, ‘Howl’. And if we’re talking the Beat Gen here, then of course, Kerouac and Cassidy (what a dude!) are demi-gods next to that silly, ugly-faced Ginsberg and his pretentious, drugged-out and shallow-ditty-writing SF sycophants. The UK’s version of the Beat Gen was a ‘co-op trio’ known as the ‘Mersey Sound’ and they were no better really – no supreme, visionary inspiration there, just more indulgent post ’60’s sexual revolution antics, not poetics.

      I’m afraid I was never moved by Horovitz’s poetry-lite. Yet, I was sad to hear of Horovitz’s passing – he had a reputation of being a sweet soul.

      Fantastically cool that you’ve still got your old copy of his anthology, ‘The Children of Albion’ – wow. I might steal it if I ever meet you heh! I love old books – yeah enough to steal them. I love you too, John. Thank you for writing your delightful poem-comment above. It’s as good as Horovitz ever wrote heh.

    thank you, taxi. your instincts are profound & exactly right. indeed, i feel we all are experiencing such thoughts. waiting & waiting, while the world very like a boar scarer slowly drags down. bless you, bless the axis of resistance. having you grace our world has been sublime gift. thank you for teaching me so very much. xo

    • Taxi says:

      emersonreturn! Wow your kindness is profound. Knocks me down sideways. Didn’t I once call you “the nicest person in the universe?” I think I did. And you still own that title, my dear. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Fist on heart. Humbly.

  14. grr says:

    Sorry to see you absent Taxi. This was one of the best, if not best anti-Zionist blogs I knew of.

    I too can't wait for the end of these rats. I just hope the Resistance doesn't let them escape so they may find sanctuary where I live and elsewhere.

     

    BTW did any one download the files from telegram that the Iranian hackers uploaded?

    It had the personal details, names, email addresses, ph numbers and photos of Unit 8200 personnel (among others). It kept me entertained for a few hours ringing the scumbags (using globfone); and yes, some did answer their phones only to hang up once my verbal tirade started LOL. Cowards can't even sustain a withering tirade of abuse over a phone, how the hell will they withstand rocket barrages? Rhetorical question as we know they won't be able to.

    There are many hundreds of files, some even not released to the public IE maps, plans, 3D city modelling etc.

    It is a major embarrassment to the jewish criminals as they crow to the world that they are the cyber experts. Meh, the Persians handed them their cyber arses on a plate.

    Hope to converse online once again Taxi.

    • Taxi says:

      Yipppeeeee Grrrrr – I’m a-grrrrring at ya with joy! Thanks for sharing your globfone adventures with us – absolutely and positively hilarious! Go team Iran!

      By now, we all know the jew is a born coward and EVERYTHING israeli jews say they are, in fact, is a lie. They can build a million bunkers stuffed with (fake) jewy heroes and it still won’t make a difference: israel remains and will remain in the crosshairs of the Resistance till all Resistance missile-hell is unleashed on the cunting-terrorist jewish state. And not a day too soon, I say! Let us remember here that Unit-8200 was squarely beaten down by mere Hezb reserve fighters back in 2006. The fucks didn’t even face the big boys of Hezbollah back in 2006 heh heh heh heh!

      Hey, I’m only pausing Plato’s, not cancelling it. So, do check in every now and then, or, for instant notification of new articles, become a subscriber via a request here: [email protected]

      You never know: the stars of my political writing could re-align any time and I could birth a new article randomly and overnight…

      Thanks again for your consistent support of Plato’s – really means a lot. And thanks for always bringing in the goods. Always share with us your charming acts of resistance against jewish evil heh. And just look at the state of jewish evil these days: riddled with fear that’s compounded by more fear. Crippled with fear, evidently! And about time the arrogant, humanity-hating, mass-murdering motherfuckers lived in this fixed, hellish state of mind.

    • Taxi says:

      Oh and you and I forgot to mention the most embarrassing detail of the Iranian hack: photos of Benny Gantz, israel’s Defense Minister, in his private home and garden heh heh heh!

      Hackers leak private information of hundreds of Israeli occupation soldiers

      Cleaner at Gantz's home attempted to contact Iran-linked hackers, officials say

      Spreading like wildfire on the net, leaked pictures of Gantz, like the one below, were very much enjoyed by humorfull humans:

       

  15. Ponder says:

    Well dearest Taxi, of a truth, I will miss you and your insights including iron clad on the ground reporting. So, in way, I am kind of sad you are moving on but on the other hand also happy for you in your desire and determination towards leading a life that befits you.

    Wish you all happiness and peace.

    • Taxi says:

      Howdy, dear Ponder! Thank you so much for your kind words of support, but there’s really no need to be glum about my announcement. Am still alive and kicking and so is the Resistance. As the song lyric goes:

      To everything turn, turn, turn
      There is a season turn, turn, turn
      And a time to every purpose
      Under heaven…

    Me again…just wanted to thank you for the John Cooper Clarke piece. I saw him in Edinburgh ten or so years ago, having heard his name, but nothing else, and to my elation he performed Evidently Chickentown, which blew me away.

    Di nuovo, tante belle cose e in bocca al Lupo!

    • Taxi says:

      Always great to hear from you, John. I kinda know JCC – first saw him perform when I was a wee teen at a ‘Rock Against Racism’ event (remember those chain of UK concerts?). A few years later we became friends via him dating a friend of mine. He once said to me: “you’re too divine to be alive,” lol! We’re still friends. I always make a point of meeting up with him when I visit London, when possible. And on the subject of ‘Evidently Chickentown’, I actually almost posted it instead of Beasley Street, so here it is to share with you and others:

      John Cooper Clarke did veer away from poetry and into rhyming comedy. Too bad. His early work is simple but truly lofty. I prefer it to his later stuff.

        Cool story…yikes! Yeah, that's it, but when I saw him he did it alone, stand up, no musical accompaniment, very staccato, very effective…the man has a lot of presence. Thank you.

    Thank you for everything Taxi,  but most of all your optimism it is essential to the human spirit.

    The search for truth and beauty always seems to arrive at the same revelation that it was around us all along. The political/media agenda is to distract from that reality and create a continual sense of unease. Just don't participate. Years ago I read a Rothschild quote " I never read the paper. If something important happens a friend will call and tell me about it."

    I incorporated it years ago but still found myself chasing important stories. but fewer and fewer over the years. Through out the chase of those "stories" my sources fell one by one for being let's just say unclear, until I was left with ony two or three. And as Platos was one that was always true to itself it has remained.

    Please accept my sincerest wish for " all the best to you".

      You are a gracious friend, dear WB. Thank you for your presence of mind and heart; and thank you for always sharing worthy comments with us all.

      My “optimism” is birthed from the marriage of realism and common sense. But do realism and common sense really create ‘optimism’? When facts are arranged logically, the picture is clearest. And THAT puts a smile on my pen.

  18. Harry Law says:

    Israel is the West’s “baby” and it has resolved to protect it at every turn, including silence when confronted by Israel’s well documented war crimes and more recently by those Human rights groups and the UN Report accusing Israel of Apartheid. In other words the West has been digging  Israel’s grave all these years in the hope that the opposition to Israel would fade away and the satrapies and others under the thumb of the west would gain legitimacy over time. But something which was fundamentally wrong when South African apartheid  was concerned cannot be right when Israel is concerned [Ronnie Kasrils former S African politician said that Israeli Apartheid was far worse than the S African version, at least the S Africans never bombed and strafed the townships.

    In fact when Nelson Mandela was to visit the US in 2008  he had to be removed from a terrorist watch list the US had compiled.

    Taxi knows all this and because she is a very honest person also knows that resistance is the only way forward, or as Professor Finkelstein said a while back, and is true today, “Israel must suffer a defeat”.  Unfortunately for Taxi, and others [like me] politics is in her veins and it is not possible to put it on one side for very long [how long were we commentating at Mondoweiss?]

    I admire and commend you for producing ‘Platos’ and for the fair and gracious way you have administrated it [I could never have the patience] Taxi, dear friend I know we will hear from you soon enough, keep your spirits up.

    • Taxi says:

      Wow Harry, you know me so well lol! Kinda true what you say: I’m already getting cerebral nudges to write a new article. Let’s see if these nudges become an elbow in the rib and this elbow-in-rib becomes a kick in the ass heh. Old timers who were commenting on Mondoweiss like I was probably still remember me saying that I started blogging on 12th September, 2001: the day after 9/11 – and true, my commentary has been more on the prolific side, with only a very small number of days skipped throughout this whole time. Probably why I’m needing a bit of a break from it all by now. And I will remind you here too that Plato’s was born because I was banned from commenting EVERYWHERE on the net and mondoweiss became, shall we say: fucking icky and arse-licky.

      Thank you so much for your enduring friendship and support. I appreciate it more than I can say. You always bring info and questions with gravitas because, well, you too are an honest, fair-minded and truth-seeking person. I appreciate your illuminating qualities, as I’m sure others do.

      Say, did you see this here (lol):

      Trump blasts Netanyahu for disloyalty: “F**k him”

    Hi Taxi,

    The big battle might arrive and then, no bunker will save your lover Nasrallah. If not by IDF, then he'll be lynched by patriotic Lebanese who're sick of him being a puppet of Iran and dragging your poor bankrupt country to another lose-proof war. Whatever mythos and lies, you like to tell yourself. You lost 2006 and begged for cease fire just like you lost every war. Save your bullshit for retard kids.

    As for you Taxi, the intellectual crossdresser who likes to pretend he's a woman. Be brave once in your life and arrive to the battlefield when the time comes. You'll last like a toothpick in fire but at least get that brave death you wanted to save you from your pathetic life. She-male

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for your typical satanic delusions of grandeur and your completely off-the-mark estimations of me. Jealous much of the VICTORIOUS Resistance? I’d say so lol! I look forward to dancing on your corpse in occupied Palestine. Oh brave chosenite scum, always lovely to hear your coarse, desperate bark.

    • Taxi says:

      To Plato readers: you should all know Ben’s personal credentials, written right there in my admin dashboard:

      LOL!

      I wager that soon enough, there will NOT be an “idf.com”, but, indeed, there will be an ex-idf.com where Ben and his coward jewish army would have yearly cyber reunions just to talk about the good old days when they were victorious at mass-murdering babies and unarmed men in wheelchairs.

      My friendly advise to Benji: shoulda stayed in Brooklyn and practiced your humanity-hating and indulged your misogyny and transphobia to the absolute full, right there from the comfort and safety of your real American homeland. As fate would have it, you will probably end up being the first jewish casualty of the next big war. As an act of mercy on your sissy soul, I wish that upon you.

        Hey Taxi, that is freaking hilarious he brings gender to his verbal diarrhea, coming from an apartheid regime that uses crimes against humanity aginst civilian and occupies Palestine by force…and it is dramatically losing soldiers who are willing to fight and face Hezballah based on shear fear….not surprising, with a dramatic decline in fetility rate due to gender neutrality policies…from 4 down to 3 years ago and heading strong to 2 in 2022….soon Benny the bunny's self extinct tribe will simply cease to exist.

  20. Mike-Florida says:

    Hi Taxi.

     

    I am truly sorry to learn that your fine website, Plato Guns, will soon be closed. For years many of your visitors and contributors previously were members of the SyrPer (Syrian Perspective (website – contributing to the information distribution of news regarding the struggle of Syria to survive the attempts of the Empire to destroy it. SyrPer was perhaps the largest most influential information site on Syria in the world. Many SyrPer members were like a ‘family’, each helping others in their constant quest for truth and finding ways to support Syrian efforts.

     

     Then, suddenly without warning, that fine site was shut down – leaving its many members without a ‘home’ to help contribute to the success of the Axis of Resistance. We can only speculate regarding the cause of that abrupt shut-down. Some of us were happy to discover your great site, Plato, sharing up-to date news regarding Lebanon in particular and the Middle East at large – allowing us again in our quest for truth and contribution, to share and learn. Thanks so much for welcoming us. And, especially thanks for the brilliant host you were with your insights with depth.

     

    I understand the shut-down reasons you articulated so well – and fully respect your decision. However, many of us will feel a certain ‘loss’ in losing Plato – and especially leaving you. In case in the future you plan to re-open Plato please do tell us how we will find you again – recognizing that our own email addresses may not then be active. Maybe you can tell us you will reopen the same Plato URL, and all we can do to reconnect is now a then check same – which also will better assure you that the audience you have earned to date might again grace your work.

     

    All the best to you, dear Taxi.

    Mike

    • Taxi says:

      Hello dearest Mike. And thank you for your sincerity and affection; thank you also for your vote of support to Plato’s and to the Axis of Resistance that we all love so very much.

      Syrpers entered Plato’s salon and indeed added informational-value to Plato’s with their unrelenting info-gathering that supports our beloved Syria and the Axis of Resistance at large. In other words, they brought added righteousness and fighting spirit to the mix. A heartfelt appreciation here to all Syrpers, be they active commentators, or be they silent visitors. And a special thanks to Canthama, a true Syrper warrior for justice, for having discovered Plato’s and invited all Syrpers to ride in.

      Here, let me clarify again: Plato’s is NOT closing down, but merely taking a hiatus. The URL will remain the same. The site’s archives will remain open. The only part of Plato’s that will be closed is the comment section, as keeping it open means regular visits by me, which is something I am needing a break from. Also, new articles are temporarily on hold. Not closed down, but just on hold for the time being.

      This is NOT a final goodbye, it is just a temporary ‘seeyazlaterz’. So, I’ll be seeing you laterz, dear Mike.

      Hang in there. This hiatus, like everything else in life, will be over in the blink of an eye.

    • Taxi says:

      And btw, the comment section will be open till end of year, but I will have to moderate all new comments before they get published. The wait for publishing shouldn’t be long at all as I will be getting email notifications with every new comment: alerting me to immediately moderate etc.

      In the meantime:

      Deck the halls with boughs of holly
      Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la)
      ‘Tis the season to be jolly
      Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la)

      Lol I love this carol.

      But really, I only love Christmas cuz the jews hate it.

    • Taxi says:

      Thank you, sweet soul.

      I should tell you that, really, I try not to work with or offer ‘hope’. I endeavor to share facts on the ground and close-up observations that the jewy media denies its readers. One could say that everything that the jewy media says is pretty much the exact opposite of what’s really going on.

      For instance, the Axis of Resistance is by far more powerful than the jewjurnos would have you believe. The Resistors are also by far the smarter, strategic thinker. A clear example of this is the latest round of the Iran nuke talks. Trump and israel thought they were top-smart and ‘tough’ to exit the deal, but this exit only proved to weaken israel and empower Iran further, bringing it now to the status of a nuclear-threshold nation – something that, had the deal remained unmolested by Trump and Shrumpstien, would not have been possible for Iran to arrive at. So now Iran negotiates from a position of more strength than the last round (with Obama admin), and president Biden, well, he presently has no choice but to make the Iran deal eventually work – and work it to Iran’s advantage and conditions to boot (conditions that not only demand the lifting of all sanctions, but also include a demand for compensation for profits lost during the breakage interim). Indeed, Biden has no choice but to make the deal work. Either that, or regional war. And Biden is NOT going anywhere near that war scenario, regardless of the jew’s incessant war-baiting and lunatic-whining.

      Currently, israel stands insecure, aghast and petrified. With Iran now classified as a nuclear-threshold state, israel has consequentially lost its neighborhood-bully title: the very reason why it exists. With Iran now able to produce a nuke inside of a couple of months (if it so wished), a geostrategic paradigm shift has palpably occurred. The bully’s threats are now empty. The bully’s knuckles have been shot. The Persian Cat’s the new sheriff in town. The no-knuckle bully is out of fight, and fast out of turf. Hemorrhaging hegemony. Out of a job.

      We see here how israel has now completely LOST the strategic war. Flat out lost it. The jews have no idea or strategy that would successfully circumvent or negate Iran’s ongoing, fast-escalating regional powers – and now their power includes nuclear-know-how. Evidently, you cannot exactly destroy this know-how with a missile or two – you cannot even destroy it with a nuke or two. There is no viable military solution that can destroy ‘know-how’. And having no strategy to counter this know-how means your Generals have no eyes and no brain – your soldiers become wrongly positioned and your grand weapons lose efficiency. Even just being a mere ‘threshold’ nuclear nation changes EVERYTHING. And everything has indeed changed. The military option is now a wet noodle. Or a suicide mission. The game is fucking over! And that’s NOT ‘hoping’, this is fact. A fact created by super intelligent movers and shakers: the Axis of Resistance, with Iran as its all-seeing-all-thinking patriarch. And because they are not jews, because they show up the jews for what they truly are (satanic, born cowards), the jewy media will demonize the Resistors instead of describing them and their advanced feats accurately; realistically. But, we kinda expect the jews to shit on inconvenient facts, so no surprises there.

      And let’s remind ourselves here that Iran is targeted by the jews because of its support for a suffering Palestine. Never forget this. Everything in the region is about Palestine. All the jew wars, all the mideast dead and orphaned and maimed and tortured and refugeed and traumatized by jew wars – the millions upon millions of victims of jew wars all over the place: these gruesome crimes against humanity were committed by the satanic jews in the name of pirating and looting and judeofying Palestine. It’s about Palestine stupid. Don’t let jewish media fog up this most vital fact.

      The jews want no peace. And they can’t have a war either. Not presently. And not in the foreseeable future. The new geostrategic status quo is not going anywhere anytime soon. Iran will not give up its legitimate nuclear program under ANY condition, nor will it give up its ballistic missiles and hi-tec military drone industry. Absolutely NOTHING that israel can do to reverse this reality. The drones, missiles and the nuclear program are here to stay. And at some point, instead of stupid, empty threats, the jewy press will have to start talking about this shit – the fat, deadly shit that israel is in. And when this happens, you will start to see the beginning of jewish self-exile from the holy land. And here we should applaud the hyper jewish media that has turned Iran into a horned Hitler in the mind of every jew – and as well all know, no cowardly jew can handle a nuclear, horned Hitler. Not for a frigging second.

      A clear case of how propaganda can easily turn and bite you in the ass and face, simultaneously.

    The first blog I followed which went silent was “NPR  Check”.  It was run by a mild-mannered librarian from somewhere in the Midwestern U$. He eventually become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of bullshit coming out of the local broadcast station of Langley, VA.  Sadly he ended his blog.  Then there was Ziad Fadel, who hosted “Syrian Perspective” who along with yourself, are the best word-smiths in cyberspace.  Ziad was hacked multiple times, and seemed very burdened by the need to present current but difficultly found information.  In this realm it is to be expected that responding to the unrelenting torrents of misinformation  will take a toll.  Please look after your well being first of all.

    LTSD. (s)
    ———-
    This eminent Shiite scholar essentially speaks oonome what the Prophet said. But he continues what General Soleimani achieved on the ground with the organized Chain of Resistance to America and the West. The chain started with resistance in Syria, then with the creation of Hezbollah and the Shiite militia in Iraq. This resistance has kept Syria from destruction, Hezbollah’s victory over Israel and the resistance of Shiite militias in Iraq, and Ansar Allah in Yemen. The idea of ​​General Qasam Soleimanijad went to Moscow and launched Russia, which prevented the complete extermination of the world’s oldest Christians in Syria, who spoke the language of Jesus Aramaic, which Russia did and saved Christians from complete destruction-extermination. I needed this introduction to make more clear what the Prophet said: The coming of Ahriman – the Spirit of Lies whose destination is inextricably linked to the pain of others and power is based on the suffering of others. This is a terrible evil intention on such a huge scale as the ability to produce the most terrible consequences for humanity. And the Prophet was preparing a clash with this evil as a guardian of the return of the light that lives in Islam. So Dajjal is the false messiah-Antichrist who will be opposed by the Mahdi-Guided One who is the analogy of Jesus of Revelation, the return of Isa spoken of by the Prophet who will kill Dajjal. Isa is the sign of the coming of Armageddon. The Prophet thus maximally strengthened the administration – Guided by One Mahdi. A Prophet as a warning, as a Prophet of judgment who does not fight against unbelievers, but Ahriman-evil in the whole world. Despite the Mahdi being the prefiguration of Jesus of Revelation, he lives in Islam with the Prophet above all at the same time serving God in his war service: Spiritual power as the permanence of light in Islam. The Mahdi is the one rightly guided by the phenomenon at the end of time to free the world from evil and injustice. With this light the Prophet believes in the return of Isa-Jesus against Masih al Dajal, Jesus will be joined by the Mahdi to defeat evil and revive the truth, which is not the encouragement of a new religion. Jesus is the Logos in the Gospel of John, the Logos is the Prophet with light in Islam, Jesus sent the Paraclete-Spirit of Truth before his crucifixion, and next to the Prophet lives in Islam the Spirit of Truth by appearing in Hadir Sura XVIII eschatological spirit of ultimate purpose lowest and highest Two in One as it knows how to tear down if it knows how to ascend, this eschatological spirit which after the death of the Prophet remains as it comes (the West forged it into Ahasuerus) the Qur’an mentions Isa-Jesus 25 times with the essence of Sura III and Sura XIX Meyrem-Mary Jesus. The Prophet believed in the return of Jesus which just means Armageddon which will begin near Damascus. This awareness tells us that it was at Damascus that a tremendous change in the status of humanity took place, Russia saved the oldest Christians and stopped the False Messiah who meant erasing the “cradle of world civilization” Iraq. With lightning shock and awe at the force of arms, the fastest re-creation of the country in history. Iraq has ceased to exist, the country is a desolation, people have been destroyed, devastated, an empty plaque has been created to write the New Middle East – Clean Breakthrough announced by Condoleezza Rice in Tel Aviv. Through the extraordinary organization of General Qasem Soleimani and the arrival of Russia, this was prevented. In the same is the Prophet with his mission of fighting the Dajjal and the coming of Ahriman, and the victory of the Mahdi-Jesus over the evil of the world.

    Hi Taxi.

    I want to leave this reply and then go back and read all the comments. First, a big Thank You to you Taxi for maintaining this site all these years. There are so few places one can go to find the truth. I've always admired your courage for moving to Lebanon in the first place, leaving the "safety" of southern Cal. I completely understand your position regarding stepping back until the big war breaks out. Honestly, the coming war with Lebanon's criminal neighbor is also what interests me most. To me Hezbollah is like the symbolic sword of Archangel Michael that (in traditional art) thwarts and defeats the enemies of humanity. I've always believed the coming defeat of the apartheid intruder is a key event in world destiny and necessary to move into an era of greater peace, sanity and clarity. So many riddles (such as the crime of 9-11, JFK assassination and so much more) will only be solved when the truth of israeli involvement in global terror is revealed in the aftermath of the coming war. Nonetheless, I shudder to think of the noble lives that will be lost and the calamity of the coming conflict. Still, it appears to be unavoidable given the sick racist and diabolic nature of the terror entity. I'll be tuning into Plato's whenever we hear "the sound of war drums," so to speak. I wish you health and safety dear Taxi, and best wishes on your writing. 

  23. Many thanks Taxi, for comming back, for your thoughts and your poetry.

    I understand your need to reconsider the level of communication and also the type of language that fits this need. Stay strong.

    War Bride instantly reminded me of this song.

    Girl With Sad Eyes (José Afonso, lyrics, music and voice)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsY20ZTLWDU

    Machine translation of the lyrics:

    Girl with sad eyes,
    What makes you cry so much?
    – The little soldier doesn't come back
    Across the sea.

    Tired-eyed lady,
    Why fatigue the loom?
    – The little soldier doesn't come back
    Across the sea.

    Come on, thoughtful sir,
    Look at the pipe to be extinguished.
    – The little soldier doesn't come back
    Across the sea.

    A friend is very sad,
    A letter made him cry.
    – The little soldier doesn't come back
    Across the sea.

    The Moon, who is a traveller,
    It's that you can inform us
    – The little soldier will be back soon
    Across the sea.

    The little soldier is back,
    He's almost there.
    Comes in a pine box.
    This time the little soldier
    Never again put overboard.

      Antonio, que linda canção, de forte apelo emocional, apenas pessoas que viveram os anos das guerras coloniais é que podem entender o quão profunda é essa letra….eu não conhecia o José Afonso e a "Menina dos Olhos Tristes".

      Thank you my friend for this treasure. Made my day. One can not stop to notice the mouristic appeal of a Fado song. 

      • Glad you enjoyed this song, Canthama.

        International public opinion is built by the media based on the acts of political empowered people. But the reality of a country is much more complex. That's why Syrper's and Platoo's enthusiasts from around the world met here: amazing experience, in the quest for reliable information. Portugal's dictatorship imploded from the inside: José Afonso, with it's lonely voice, after being arrested several times, won the battle. 

  24. Frank Marr says:

    As an over 70 year old deep historically aware researcher of the US/West/Vatican/Talmudic destruction of Palestine I must warn you of Directed Energy weapons attack on Iran and Israel by the secret rulers of the USA.

    Yes they will allow the destruction of present day Israel like they allowed the holocaust and the destruction of Germany to force European Jewry to take over Palestine; however, their Directed Energy weapons will destroy Iran as well to be another split country like Germany was.  Thus their global henchmen/women will come with the UN etc to setup what they want. This phase must be prepared for and replaced as well by being receptive and willing to work with allies from another realm. As a youth I was a rabid, revolutionary Marxist and suffered imprisonment because of it; however, what I wrote below is what I’ve learned over the past 50 years that scares all militaries globally for it foreshadows their complete uselessness and the highest Israeli rulers don’t want you to add this awareness to what you describe so well in your Hiatus article and comments of our on-the-ground superiority.

     

    WhissWhasseh

    “….large black UFOs were spotted patrolling skies over Syria’s civil war, where they are known as WhissWhasseh,. Syrian UFOs are said to ‘give off an odd-sounding hum intermittently,’ according to Ken Oz, writing for the  Altheadline website. He quotes Free Syrian Army rebel commanders in Damascus on August 28 as having stated that the ‘, weaponized technology ‘not of this earth,’ or anything the fighters have ever seen’. A U.S. Army serviceman serving at the same time in Syria said the UFOs ‘appear at the height of battles at night or in danger zones, and they seem to protect the Syrian Army.This lends support to Oz’s sources, which define WhissWhasseh as taking sides against the rebels

    Taxi, a million thanks for all you have done. I am going to miss you terribly and I will miss your excellent community. 100% I understand why you are pulling back. I would like to think it is a sign that the end of Israel, the end of the Talmud and the end those who support such hate, is finally just around the corner. Perhaps you have a wisdom in common with the wild animals I've heard of that "inexplicably" know to move away from the coast well before an approaching tsunami arrives?  😉

    May the Talmud be exposed as the most hateful book ever written (and it is being written to this day).

    May the phrase "Never Forget" be properly redirected to all of humanity to Never Forget the evil Talmud, to Never Forget the evil, deceitful Rabbis who know the book and lie that it is anything but supremely hateful, to Never Forget that average Jew, the average Goy and the health of the entire planet have been harmed for millennia by this Talmudic, Rabbinical, Jerusalemite, Satanic religion.

  27. Golden Rule Please says:

    Not too many places I can post this humorous thought that came to me. Now that I will be without this special place for some period of time, I'll make at least this last post for now:

    We all know that Israel and the ADL are one and the same, so Israel + ADL can be written as: IsrADL

    It is a word as ugly as the two entities that make it. 

    Surprisingly, it is really easy to pronounce too – Is Ray D L 

    I will refer to one the other and both as IsrADL going forward!

    On a different note, I want to share that from my perspective (will have to explain that another time) we have already won in many, critical ways. Not only is IsrADL doomed, so is the entire Talmudic infection that preceded and grew both. 

    Covid is a Talmudic enterprise. Fauci and Gates are at least crypto-Talmudics. They have lost. This time one year ago, even the braver among us were isolated, worried, angry. Some including myself were also afraid that we had lost. This year, and for months now, I have known that we have won. We have endless work ahead of us. We have endless challenges ahead of us. We will on occasion be sorely tested. And maybe we'll even lose battles, but I swear to God, we've kicked their asses and it will only grow from here.   

    Thank you Taxi and to all of you for making that possible and true.

    Taxi,

    I have been away from your site for a while as the political/diabolical catastrophe stateside has consumed so much of my attention and personal life. After over 10 years of friendship, you have never failed to impress me with your prolific prose, only to be matched by your steel-trap mind that has produced such incisive and precise analyses over these years.

     

    Farewell until we meet, sweet friend. I shall leave a candle burning until your return. With love from back home (perhaps presumptuous of me to assume that you still view the US as home). Be well in the New Year.

    Taxi,

    Wishing you the best in this new Year of the Tiger, the Water Tiger to be specific. For as the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac alternate, each of those animals also alternates between the five elements. The last Water Tiger therefore was 60 years ago, the year of my birth. Oh no! That means I hit 60 on my next birthday!

    Dear Taxi, hope you are keeping well, could not resist a reply to Arnold Schwarzeneggers twitter message, and since you have no problem putting superstars in their place i.e. Capt James T, I hope you might agree with me.

    I have just watched a message from Arnold Schwarzenegger on twitter which must rank alongside that of Joseph Goebbels propaganda in WW2 he says “people are told this is a war to denazify Ukraine, how can that be Ukraine has a Jewish President whose family were murdered by the
    Nazis “? Arnold it is you who is spreading propaganda, there are many Nazis in Ukraine including the Azov battalions and their supporters at the top of the Ukrainian government, these are well documented facts including their Nazi insignia and torchlight parades.
    He goes on, “this is not the Russian peoples war, whole blocks have been flattened by Russian bombs including a childrens hospital and a maternity ward”, These are lies Arnold and have been demonstrated to be propaganda over the past few days. “There are thousands of Russian bombs raining down on innocent civilians, no Arnold that is the way the US conducts war, one million Iraqis were killed in the shock and Awe campaign, there depleted uranium munitions were used in the battle of Fallujah. Arnold you are a lying hypocrite. “Soldiers were lied to by their leadership and were told they were going to protect ethnic Russians in Ukraine, none of this is true” Oh but it is true Arnold, it is a well documented fact that 14000 ethic Russian people in the Dombass region have been killed since the Ukraine government was overthrown in 2014 and a US friendly one replaced it [I’m looking at you Victoria Nuland]. Nazis have been shelling the ethnic Russians since 2014 and are still doing so today.
    This war is a direct consequence of the urge by Nato to expand and to surround Russia, specifically to expand NATO to within 5 minutes nuclear missile flying time from Moscow, this is an existential threat to Russia and Russia is justified in making sure it does not happen, in my opinion it will not happen regardless of what Biden and other warmongers in Europe and the US say.
    Finally Arnold you were married to a Kennedy therefore I assume you are familiar with the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviet Union were placing missile bases in Cuba 100 miles from the US border, JFK would not allow this and ordered a military blockade which many political scientists thought could lead to nuclear war. This NATO expansion is a similar situation with the same stakes involved. Arnold you are being used by the US government in a similar fashion to how the Germans used William Joyce nickname Lord Haw-Haw who broadcast Nazi propaganda to the UK from Germany during the Second World War. The broadcasts opened with "Germany calling, Germany calling", spoken in an affected upper-class English accent . Arnold you are a propaganda spreading lying foolish warmonger. Go to hell.

    Hello Taxi,

    Hope all is well and you are enjoying the hiatus.  Your insights are missed. Also: your writing style. Stay well!

    I think we may have just seen a false flag in Bucha to draw the West and the world deeper into war. It is difficult to witness the level of lies and hypocrisy which engulf the media and public discourse. It appears the war in Ukraine is not slowing down and may be setting the stage for a much wider war. I pray not. Yet I see the criminal leadership of the West, the insane US president, the mad puppet Zelensky, and the zionist media fanning the flames. I suspect it's only a short time before we see action in the Middle East as well. It's not easy to witness the profound level of hypnotic trance into which so many people have sunk due to constant brainwashing by a diabolic media.

    I trust Plato's readers are as well as can be, and hope Taxi that you are also well. Look forward to your next post and comments from some sane people in this increasingly insane world.

  38. sarz says:

    Taxi, I think the war you were waiting for is here. Ukraine is very intimately connected with Israel. See this 2014 piece by Wayne Madsen.

    https://mouqawamahmusic.net/illegitimate-jewish-regimes-secret-plan-for-a-2nd-zionist-entity-in-ukraine/

    Ukraine is Khazaria. Remember Victoria Nuland and her cookies? Look up Oliver Stone's Ukraine on Fire, also from 2014.

    https://tv.gab.com/channel/starcrest/view/oliver-stones-ukraine-on-fire-62269679f271e96c4dd8ee76

    Other than Israel, this is the only country where the president and prime minister are both Jews. I read somewhere that a huge number of the assembly are Jews, as is the oligarch who hired comedian Zelensky and made him president, Kolomoisky, who is in thick with Biden and his son. In fact all the Ukrainian oligarchs are Jews. So was the oligarch who was the previous president, snd his two main competitors for the office. 

    What is going down in Ukraine is truly satanic. Those here who have not yet discovered Gonzalo Lira (a Chilean-American married to a Ukrainian and doing some sort of business there for seven years, and currently hiding in some apartment in Kharkov) should go for his coverage of the war on Telegram. It is gruesome stuff. 

    Gonzalo recently (April11) referred to Arestovich, the evil genius behind Zelensky's speeches. Look up his agenda. Looks like the Nazis (and an American general and some French big shot) are about to get sacrificed and only the Jews will be left.

    The recent Irani attacks on Mossad generals in northern Iraq are part of the same war.

    So is the battle Imran Khan recently lost in Pakistan.

    So, Taxi, how about an update on Lebanon. For a while it seemed from Putin's announcement that Western 'volunteers' (mercenaries) would be countered by Hezbollah in street fighting. But it's apparently not necessary.

    Take care.

  39. sarz says:

    Hello Taxi. Hope this finds you well. You had, it seems, declared your withdrawal until war breaks out against Israel. All sorts of markers show the day is approaching. The Russians are ready to kick all foreign occupiers out of Syria. Biden's America is weaker by the day. And the outrages continue apace at al Aqsa. Such as this:

    https://twitter.com/Timesofgaza/status/1542445707705126912?s=20&t=CJKkokyMxLgCtObdVS88Ag

    This sort of thing was supposed to bring the Resistance down on Israel's head. But a Shia cleric I know who is a bit of a cynic mentions how much Hezbollah has been weakened by the election results in Lebanon. One would like to know your take, but if you'd rather stick to victory statements, that's fine too

    • Canthama says:

      grr, about time, if there is a time in history, in the past 3-4 decades, to liberate Palestine, it is now. Hope we will see it happen in a 1-2 year…hope you are doing OK.

    • Anon says:

      After sending 3 unarmed drones over Israel's Karish gas field and shocking the enemy with this maneuver, Nasrallah said in his latest speech that if US, Israel and Europe won't give Lebanon all its maritime gas rights, then Hezbollah won't allow anyone else in the eastern Med to extract gas either.  And should this demand be challenged or ignored, then Hezbollah is prepared to go to all out war.  "War with the enemy is more honorable than starvation by the enemy," said Nasrallah.

      • Canthama says:

        Glad to hear from you again Taxi, hope you are doing fine, we all miss your articles and thoughts. Keep up the good fight.

  40. Harry Law says:

    It would appear Hassan Nazrallah is extremely serious about Lebanons claim to gas field block No 9 to be agreed on by September, saying better to fight your enemy than fight other Lebanese outside bakeries

    Whose Claim Is Best? Andrew Norris, J.D., U.S. Coast Guard (ret.), works as a maritime consultant. This article is long and detailed and written by someone who knows his stuff.

    In the abstract, putting aside rhetoric, politics, grievances, and ancient enmities, whose version of the maritime boundary is more correct, Israel’s or Lebanon’s? In the estimation of this author, Lebanon’s claim is both legally and “morally” superior to Israel’s, as further explained below.

    • Canthama says:

      sarz, it seems the apartheid regime in occupied Palestine has indeed once more misread the moment and its situation. There is no better time in the past 4 decades then now, to get the settlers out for good…this is the right time, and hopefully this time, the whole Resistance will play a role as well, looking forward to it.

      • grr says:

        Since I was a teenager I have been waiting for the eviction of the Settler Scum (SS), and the destruction of the US led evil power structure.

        Looks like I won't be waiting much longer.

        Slava Palestine, Slava Russia.

  41. emersonreturn says:

    canthama, taxi, sarz & harry law.  agreed absolutely.  patience is rewarded, aolemani & allah continues to navigate.  blessings upon the axis of resistance & the peoples of lebanon, palestine & iran.

  42. Cloak And Dagger says:

    Much as I would love to agree with all you guys and gals, and perhaps it is because of how jaded I have become, I fail to see a positive outcome from the current foray. As before, the resistance will launch a series of bottle rockets, mostly landing in fields or on Palestinian soil, followed by a brutal response from the Israelis, resulting in the death of a bunch of innocents, like the dead 5-year old girl in her father's crying arms, followed by a ceasefire and then business as usual.

    There is no unity on the Arab side, nor the artillery to conduct a conclusive raid on the occupiers. More land will be annexed into the swarm and more innocents will die, with lip service of condolence and rage from the neighboring arabs – then back to their respective opulent lives suckling off the the globalist teats.

    This is a world infested with demons and the other denizens of Hades that overtook our dreams while we slept. We have lost the battle for the soul of humanity and we have succumbed to the depths of evil. We are many and they are few – and yet, we have failed to even scratch the veneer of their collective might. The world keeps waiting for a savior hero to deliver us from our despair, but no Messiah is forthcoming, and as Nietzsche would aver, God is dead. A toast to our nihilist doom.

    So here we are, left to our identity politics where men are women and women are men, and 72 genders have replaced the 72 virgins, just making sure that gender-confused men can walk naked through the changing rooms of little girls, and drag queens groom our children, while Rome burns and the sheeple fiddle. Just shut up and take your clot shots and never ask why. The government knows best and the Jews are our allies.

     

  43. grr says:

    "There is no unity on the Arab side, nor the artillery to conduct a conclusive raid on the occupiers."

     

    I disagree C & D. There is unity on the Shia side, both Arab and Persians (who you seem to have forgotten).

    And between Hizbollah, Syria, Yemen, and the Iranians they have hundreds of thousands of ballistic missiles and hundreds of thousands of military personnel. They also have strategic weapons and tactics that are yet to be utilised.

    I tend to agree with those that are stating that this is the final round and a knockout blow will be delivered. The Settler Scum won't be able to rely on Uncle Sam as he has tied himself up in knots elsewhere.

    • Cloak And Dagger says:

      Far be it from me to dash hope from those of you who have been suffering for so long, but denying facts doesn't make victory come any closer. Yes, there is a need to keep morale elevated in times of strife so as not to let defeatism triumph and deter revolt. However, it is also true that polyanna-ish perspectives deter creative thinking and encourages complacency, because events are expected to roll in our favor.

      I know that sitting here in the US, far from the fronts in the ME, I am not as much in touch with the events on the ground as some of you are, however, that distance allows me a degree of objectivity that being too close to ground zero doesn't.

      Like it or not, headlines such as these do little to inspire confidence in your imminent "knockout blow", much as I would like to see it delivered:

      Palestine/Israel

      https://ibb.co/BGPvPy4

       

      Meanwhile, that Lebanese dude from New Jersey who took out Salman Rushdie’s eye, did little to engender sympathy for the Lebanese cause or empathy for muslims amongst previously supportive Americans. We are not our government, and some of us still hold free speech as our sacred right, even for those with whom we disagree or don’t like. What was gained by that attack?

       

      • sarz says:

        That Lebanese dude was probably brought to you courtesy the same people that brought you Sirhan Sirhan. As you might expect MK-Ultra is the fruit of a Jew at the CIA. Prof Mohd Marandi, advisor to the Irani govt, immediately called the stabbing a false flag. 

        Anyway, since Rushsie is clearly UK intelligence, and his book was no doubt written to order, along with the target on his own back, it's all in the family. CIA sacrificing MI-6. Not a good time to be the servant of Jews. 

        Russia is defeating NATO-in-Ukraine using one tenth of its forces. It's not very clever to be hoping to trap Russia in the middle-east. Especially given the most-diapered army at risk. 

        The Israelis were hoping to have Ukraine as a fall-back homeland. Khazaria. Now that's gone. Birobidzhan is probably off bounds. That leaves the Israeli-patrolled zone in Patagonia owned by a Brit Jew. It's three times the size of Palestine. 

        I do wish they would go there, but the US is probably the Chosen dump. 

        Godspeed.

    An ad by If Americans Knew on Tucker Carlson, by survivors of the USS Liberty. It's surprising the Murdochs are allowing this. Looks like some Jew faction has given up on Israel. And since Tucker just did a presidential trial run in Iowa, could be he's going to run on an anti-Israel platform. Head on against crypto-Jew Trump. 

    • Cloak And Dagger says:

      From what I can see in social media, a lot of American jews feel no empathy for Israel and rightly identify more as "American" rather than Israeli.  It took the erasure through natural death of the older generations of jews and their (doctored) recollections of oppression. The younger generation, born in a country where jews are the privileged class, feel no compunction to side with Israel, whose extremist actions could jeopardize the elite status of American jews.

      Goes to show, individual self-interest overrides tribalist instincts. Now if only someone could bottle that into a simple formula, all wars would end…

  45. emersonreturn says:

    hello taxi, i trust your writing continues to go well.  please forgive my intrusion, i simply do not trust another source on this, other than nazrallah & if he has issued a speech i regret i have missed it (ukraine takes up much alt space).  i am curious about the lebanon/israel deal brokered by the empire.  i hope you might come out of your hermitage briefly to brief us on your take.  i never believed lebanon would sign such a deal, so i am dismayed.  the cradle has been helpful but i long to learn your take.  please, whensoever you have time.  thank you & blessings to you & your beloved home & farm.

    • Taxi says:

      Aaaaaawwh dearest emersonreturn – your sweetness: pure ambrosia, is completely and utterly irresistible! Roped me right out of my stoic headstand! My response will be brief, before returning indefinitely to my lady-cave cocoon.

      So…Hiya hiyayayayayaaaaaay everybody! Hope all is hunky dory widya, despite the world’s… well, you know wadamtalkin’bout…

      Here’s a link that tells you everything you need to know about the Leb-isrl maritime deal – no need for my “take”, just the facts, time-lined:

      Maritime Deal: How Hochstein’s ‘Nothing’ Turns into Lebanon’s Everything

      Okay okay okay, just one or two thoughts from me about it:

      Come the right strategic time, what’s to stop Hamas from doing the same thing as Hezbollah just did with regards Gaza’s offshore gas fields – Palestinian gas fields that are currently being openly plundered by the cunting klepto jew? Hamas has the drones that can strike out at sea targets and they’ll be doing it at some stage – of course, they will! Understand here that the jews have no strategy to stop this in the present or in the future without starting an existential war that they will lose. The more the ordinary israeli jew realizes this, the more reverse-Aliya will take place. Our team is currently winning both the psychological and strategic war – and it will win the boom-boom battlefield war too come the time. Oh yeah let’s rattle and roll ’em talmudic-colonialist cowards right out of Palestine and back to fucksville where they all came from. Saves our team bullets and blood.

      Israel’s now like a bar of soap in a sink with tap water running on its belly and there ain’t no hand in the world that can turn off the corroded tap.

      I also recommend closely following the news of the armed Palestinian youths in the West Bank on active resistance duty: daily fraying the nerves of the jew army and jew settler alike. Half of israel’s internal security forces are now assigned to the West Bank troubles – HALF OF THEIR FRIGGING FORCES AND THEY STILL CAN’T STOP OR SUBDUE THE YOUNG PALESTINIAN RESISTORS! What a courageous and clever generation of Palestinian Resistors they are – turning the tables against their occupiers where previous Palestinian generations couldn’t – inspired by Hezbollah’s ongoing victories and by their own profound devotion to their land and to their historic identity. Don’t you just love it when the good-guy-underdog turns the table? I sure do – makes me wanna do an Irish jig woohoo!

      Well alrightypies, time to say sweetest goodbyes… so… seezyaz all soon – don’t quite know when, but for sure, at some point I’ll become more engaged and attentive to Plato’s again.

      Till then, take care y’all and know that I love y’all – I really, really, very-really do.

      • Taxi says:

        Research the young Palestinian resistor-martyr, 'Uday Tamimi'.  Wow what a duke-dude.  Shaved his head and went out solo to kill his occupiers, succeeded, disappeared safely for nine days then returned again for another round of occupier-kill, before getting martyred.  It must have taken at least fifty jew bullets to eventually take his breath away from the world, even though he was a sitting duck out there in an open street. This tells you how splendidly bone-rattled and nervous the jew military shooters were: with shaky hands and off aim.  Check out the video of Uday Tamimi's martyrdom – it's out there, folks.

        Now, tens of thousands of Palestinian youths have shaved their heads in Uday Tamimi’s honor, and lone, armed attacks against the despicable jew occupier continue on in the West Bank. No sign whatsoever that they will cease.

      • Taxi says:

        Here’s the unedited video of Uday Tamini’s courageous martyrdom – may he forever rest in peace, knowing that Palestine will soon enough be free:

        As we all know too well by now, there is no liberation without martyrdom.

      • Canthama says:

        Taxi and all, so glad to hear form y'all. The Lion's Den has already created a name for themselves in History, they are relentless in the pursue of freedom and liberation of Palestine, may they succeed insh'allah. 

        The rise of Lion's Den is a nightmare for the apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine, it has now to face the Resistance from north, NE, SW and East….in other words…they got themselves a very concerning strategic position….

        The timing in 2023 is perfect…Ukraine is pulling all the attentions…some Arab countries are finally ammending with Iran thus reducing frictions, and willing to move away from the US/UK influence…still no convinced of the later though. 

        Next year will be fun. All the best my dear friend.

  46. Saladin says:

    Greetings Taxi, Emerson, Canthama, and everyone. So nice to "hear" your voice again Taxi. Hope all is well in your little corner of sacred Lebanese soil. I check back here about once a month and was delighted to find some new posts.

    2023 will be a barn-burner. Blessings to all.
