there's much in this link including video evidence. 'the most moral nation' fully described by the quote marks marches on towards its obvious fascist goal;

One of the most notorious Israeli criminals of recent times has to be Elor Azaria. In 2016, the Israeli soldier murdered a wounded Palestinian youth as the young man lay badly wounded and bleeding on the ground in Hebron. Abd Al-Fattah Yusri Al-Sharif had already been shot after being accused of trying to attack another soldier manning a checkpoint.

Hebron is a Palestinian city in the West Bank, occupied illegally by Israel. A large section of the city has a heavier Israeli military presence than the rest, due to its takeover by a group of the most extreme Zionist settlers.

These religious fanatics frequently abuse, spit on and attack Palestinians simply for being Arabs in what they claim is a “Jewish city”. The Hebron settlers are in the process of attempting to take it over completely, home by home. What’s more, they are guarded and aided by the Israeli army.

Palestinian families are usually evicted unceremoniously. If they attempt to resist in even the most peaceful way, Israeli soldiers put them down and often kill them with total impunity.

Hebron shooter Azaria: ‘I have no remorse whatsoever’

In such an intolerable situation, it is no wonder that some individual Palestinian youths have taken it upon themselves to fight back against the brutal, racist military occupation. The right to armed resistance to occupation and colonialism is enshrined in international law, UN resolutions and simple morality. Fighting back, therefore, is totally legitimate.

Posted on August 31, 2018 by Kurt Nimmo

The Washington Post has posted the results of a recent poll conducted in conjunction with ABC News.

President Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a high point of 60 percent, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that also finds that clear majorities of Americans support the special counsel’s Russia investigation and say the president should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

All this poll demonstrates is that the American people are easily fooled when a Big Lie stamped with the seal of approval and imprimatur of the state is rolled out by its corporate propaganda service, the same folks who engineer misleading polls.

No doubt many who originally supported Trump no longer do so today, in large part because he promised the Moon and delivered a partially eaten Moon Pie instead.

The Big Lie works because too many Americans either refuse or can’t be bothered to discover the truth for themselves, instead relying on a Vanderbilt baby and CIA recruit reading from a CNN teleprompter to formulate their opinions.

Polls like this are designed to provide legitimacy to what is an obvious fraud and turn the American people against any effort to end the corruption and criminality of government, never mind Trump is hardly the sort of man who will “drain the swamp” of on-the-take political opportunists and K Street lobbyists handing out crisp new thousand dollar bills to guide legislation favorable to crony capitalists.

As for Sessions, we have to ask why Trump appointed this retrograde troglodyte in the first place. This appointment should have sent a strong message to the MAGA crowd—you were manipulated, taken for granted, there will be no swamp draining, no change of the guard, the bankers and corporatists will continue to run things.

Trump doesn’t get it. He demands the Federal Reserve “help him in his trade dispute with China” while apparently oblivious to the fact this organization masquerading as a federal agency is a central part of the globalist order.

The Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization sit at the apex of the globalist International order and are adamantly opposed to protectionism, not because it hurts the American people—tariffs are additional taxation—but because it endangers the order carefully put into place after the Second World War by the ruling elite.

Meanwhile, the government supports all manner of central planning, provides subsidies to corporations—thus feeding crony capitalists—and holds up a state-run import-export bank.

Trump does not appear to be cognizant of the fact government monetarist policies—as dictated by a cartel controlled by bankers—are responsible for most of our financial woes.

The ultimate impeachment of Trump and sending his partisans into the political wilderness—or to prison for neglecting to pay taxes—will eventually result in the rug being pulled back over the tiny corner Trump exposed as he went about wheedling votes and making promises impossible to keep.

 this is a clear exploration of palestine and what has been done, and will be done there;

Conflict is like everything else – people get labels assigned to them based on their supposed political party, even though those parties do not represent the best interests of their base. Therefore, in the light of the meltdown over Palestine, and the number of Jewish-loving born again Christians, especially in the United States, it is high time to take a closer look at what the roots of the current violence is—not an easy undertaking.

Most pundits and politicians are so involved in discussing the political and funding side of the Arab-Israeli conflict that they are unwilling to accept that its root cause is land and not religion. It is like beating a drum—and Trump claims that he has merely accepted what was already a reality, as Jerusalem is functionally the capital of Israel.

Not so simple

I am reminded of one of my former graduate students in academic writing, who wanted to write a paper on the Arab-Israeli Conflict and was surprised when I told her that the topic was too large. I explained that it would keep her busy for the rest of her life, and how she needed to find something more focused to get her assignment done.

Naively, the young girl, from a country with its own rich history of Jewish culture and community, asked me… “then what are they fighting about.”

I told her the conflict was not about religion, as Jews, Arabs and Christians were all able to live side-by-side, as it was part of [our] religion to get along. It was not until the UN decided to decant the remnant of Jews in Europe to an artificial state it had set up itself, based on the mess the British had left in their Palestine Mandate, that the trouble had begun. “It is all over land and who has the most right to it.”

This view may be an oversimplification, but it gets to the crux of the matter. Alan Dowty, Professor of Government and International Studies and Fellow of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, confirms this: “The core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the claim of two peoples to the same piece of land.”

However, the more recent standoff over the rights of Palestinians is rooted in new forms of nationalism which have developed simply because the attitude of the rest of the world has encouraged the conflict to frame itself in these terms. Combined with so-called security walls, land grabs and foreign interventions, these artificial nationalisms of the Macedonian type complicate any potentially lasting solution, whether it be grating equal rights in the UN-created State of Israel for all citizens, or adopting the two state solution envisioned in various peace accords, such as the Camp David Agreement, Oslo Agreement, Wye Plantation etcetera.

 i suspect hurricane trump is an installed part of the program in the same way saint obama and the decider have been and the rest of them back to nixon/jfk. this exploration of current events may make clear the show is continuing to its bitter end, or not;

The latest “Trump Deathwatch” began on Tuesday, August 21, 2018. It began in a courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia, when Paul Manafort, sleazebag beltway operator and former chairman of Trump’s campaign, was pronounced guilty by a jury of his peers on ten counts of various types of fraud — tax fraud, bank fraud, and failure to disclose thirty-one foreign bank accounts which he was using for the purposes of fraud. Or maybe it began in another courtroom, this one miles away in New York City, when, almost at the exact same moment, Michael Cohen, Trump’s ex-lawyer, pleaded guilty to eight unrelated charges of fraud and campaign finance violations, the latter charges stemming from “hush money” paid to two of Trump’s former bimbos.

In any event, whichever came first, it began with these two sleazebag characters, both of whom had been indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is doggedly investigating allegations that the President of the United States is a devious Russian intelligence asset personally planted in the Oval Office by Vladimir Putin, the Russian mob, and a conspiracy of crackerjack “cyber-influencers,” who brainwashed millions of American voters into betraying Hillary Clinton, and the nation, with a bunch of emails and some Facebook posts, and who are even now waging “a chaos campaign to undermine faith in American democracy.”

 pcr as clear and spot on as usual here in this post;

Paul Craig Roberts
The Russian Government and President Putin are coming under pressure not from US sanctions, which are very good for Russia as they force Russia into independence, but from Russian patriots who are tiring of Putin’s non-confrontational responses to Washington’s never-ending insults and military provocations. Russian patriots don’t want war, but they do want their country’s honor defended, and they believe Putin is failing in this job. Some of them are saying that Putin himself is a West-worshipping Atlanticist Integrationist.
This disillusinonment with Putin, together with Putin’s endorsement of raising the retirement age for pensions, a trap set for him by Russia’s neoliberal economists, have hurt Putin’s approval ratings at the precise time that he will again be tested by Washington in Syria.
In many columns I have defended Putin from the charge that he is not sufficiently Russian. Putin wants to avoid war, because he knows it would be nuclear, the consequences of which would be dire. He knows that the US and its militarily impotent NATO allies cannot possibly conduct conventional warfare against Russia or China, much less against both. Putin also undersrtands that the sanctions are damaging Washington’s European vassals and could eventually force the European vassal states into independence that would constrain Washington’s belligerence. Even with Russia’s new super weapons, which probably give Putin the capability of destroying the entirety of the Western World with little or no damage to Russia, Putin sees no point in so much destruction, especially as the consequences are unknown. There could be nuclear winter or other results that would put the planet into decline as a life-sustaining entity.

those who believe its an important part of their existence to have their 'friends' and acquaintances think well of them would certainly be afraid of what the author of this article speaks of. i know there have been many conversations that hit a brick wall under the circumstances he speaks about;

One of the CIA’s most successful propaganda campaigns in its 70-year history has been its use of the term “conspiracy theorist” or “conspiracy theory” to disparage anyone who dares to question the official narrative of the Kennedy assassination. The campaign has worked brilliantly. Today American society is filled with people who have a deeply seated fear of being labeled a conspiracy theorist. The fear is almost as big as the fear that people had of being labeled a communist during the Cold War.
I was once talking to two friends and the Kennedy assassination came up in the conversation. I mentioned that I had written a book called The Kennedy Autopsy, which had become a best-seller on Amazon. One of my friends suddenly asked me, “Are you a conspiracy theorist?” I responded, “Well, yes, I guess I am.”
That was the end of that particular subject. Immediately, the conversation was shifted to another topic, never to return to the Kennedy assassination. My friend wasn’t about to engage in a conversation that could down the road to becoming a dreaded conspiracy theorist.
One of the most amusing aspects of this propaganda campaign was an op-ed about the Robert Kennedy assassination that appeared a few months ago in a mainstream newspaper. Of course, most mainstream newspapers have long been extremely afraid of being labeled as conspiracy theorists. The author began his piece by making it clear to everyone that he was not a conspiracy theorist. He then proceeded to explain why he felt that the Robert Kennedy assassination, which officials long ago concluded was the act of a lone gunman, should be reopened to determine whether the assassination was actually the result of a conspiracy.
