caitlin provides some evidence that the goal of the zionists is ethnic cleansing, of the sort that they experienced. the opening image is striking;

The funny thing about Henry Kissinger dying at age 100 is that he lived long enough to become one of the least crazy warmongers in the DC swamp — not because he got saner, but because the US empire has gotten so much crazier. Almost everyone running the US government today is a worse warmonger than Kissinger was at the end of his life.

❖

Sane person: Stop murdering thousands of children.

Crazy person: You hate people because of their religion.

Israeli officials keep openly saying again and again that the plan for Gaza is ethnic cleansing, yet the western political/media class adamantly insists on continuing to frame Israel’s actions in Gaza solely as a war against Hamas. Hamas isn’t the target, it’s the excuse..........more.........

 Israeli attacks on Gaza resume, hardship for healthcare workers, journalists; West Bank; CNN, Biden support for Israel continues, cheered on by Israel lobby, which is pushing for $50 million per day for Israel

UPDATE: US supplies Israel with large ‘bunker buster’ bombs: The Wall Street Journal reports that the US has in recent weeks provided Israel with massive quantities of weapons, including 100 BLU-09 bombs, weighing about 2,000 pounds each, about 15,000 other bombs, and 57,000 artillery shells The delivery of these bombs was part of a “surge of arms” supplied to Israel during its war on Gaza. WSJ’s report came as US Secretary of State Blinken urged Israel to protect civilians during its Gaza bombing campaign.

The 7-day truce has ended, and Israeli attacks have begun again: “Combat between Israel and Hamas was renewed on Friday following the expiry of a weeklong truce. An agreement on extending the pause in fighting was not reached before the 7am (05:00 GMT) deadline.

“In the early hours of Israel’s renewed attacks, at least 100 Palestinians were killed  – in northern, central, and southern Gaza.”

 larry johnson, former cia and others about the current scene we face;

Before diving into today’s Roundtable with Ray McGovern and Judge Napolitano I want you to watch another video and provide your commentary. Let me be clear up front — I am not endorsing this video nor do I agree with its message. However, I think it is a clever piece of propaganda but it has some major holes. A good friend sent this to me and I am curious what you, my readers, think about it.

The presenter makes the argument that Hamas planned and executed the October 7 attacks with the full expectation that Israel would respond by killing civilians, which in turn would garner Hamas broad international support.

If you accept this gentleman’s premise, i.e., that Hamas hoped that Israel would kill lots of civilians, then the natural strategy for Israel (and the logical policy recommendation) should be — don’t take the bait and focus on targeting Hamas leadership. Not just with violence but going after their money.

But that is not what this man recommends. He contradicts himself and doubles down on the need to eliminate Hamas by killing them. He also gratuitously tosses Iran into the discussion by wrongly concluding that Iran has much to lose if there is a broad peace agreement in the region. Sorry, but that is nonsense........more........

The Real Kissinger

My Memories of Henry:  A different Interpretation of the Man

Paul Craig Roberts

Henry Kissinger at 100 years of age left the world he temporarily altered for the better after watching the neoconservatives in the Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden regimes wipe out his accomplishments.

Kissinger and President Nixon were men of peace.  They inherited a disastrous war–Vietnam–that they had no hand in making.  President John F. Kennedy intended to stop the war before it could get started, which was one of the reasons he was assassinated by the CIA, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secret Service.  The Soviet Threat had to be resisted even at the cost of President Kennedy’s life and the trauma inflicted on what was still in those days a free nation.

President Nixon and Kissinger also had to restart the efforts of President Kennedy to defuse the dangerous tensions of the Cold War that both the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam war brought to the surface.  The pursuit of detente by the Nixon administration produced the Strategic  Arms Limitations Agreement and created a working relationship between Washington and Moscow.  Nixon’s opening to China might have prevented another war.  Nixon and Kissinger’s achievements in defusing the Cold War were unrivaled until President Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev ended the Cold war.

The Clinton regime violated the word of the George H.W. Bush administration that in exchange for the Soviet Union permitting the reunification of Germany, the US would not move NATO one inch toward the East.  All subsequent US regimes exited from all of the arms agreements that had reduced tensions and created a bond of trust between the nuclear superpowers.  This bond is especially important, because of the numerous false warnings from warning systems........more.........
