The elites all want ‘yes’ men. In the White House and in Congress. Almost all legislation transfers money and power from the people to them... their cronies...and their pet projects.
Thomas Massie is my favorite member of Congress. It’s unfortunate that there isn’t a majority just like him, it’s the only chance that this country has to survive into the future. Eventually the money printing ends, but what kind of Phoenix arises from the ashes?
Bonner's outright lies and half truths about Israel continue. He has used the hamas figure of those killed and failed to mention the number hamas members killed. he has said that israel targets hospitals and schools. That is a outright lie. They target terrorists. There are other lies as well. I suggest the Bonner visit Israel . He has called it an apartheid with not evidence and there is plenty to the contrary. Most importantly he has failed to mention that it is a war started by hamas.
There has never been a country, kingdom, realm, principality, palatinate, duchy, state or any other organized government of Palestine at any time in history. Palestine is a modern construct, and most of the "Palestinians" are opportunistic descendants of nomadic tribes. In all historical references, Palestine is a "region of Judea." Think otherwise, please name for me any ancient ruler of Palestine or delineate the boundaries and outline the history of any Palestinian kingdom or empire. I am waiting. I can outline for you precisely the history of the modern Middle East, and I will be the first to admit that it is a disaster that traces its roots to the Allied Administrative District in Cario after World War I (read "Churchill's Folly" for a primer), but the fact remains that "the World." such as it was after WWI, wanted the Jews out of Europe and told them to go live in "Zion." and outlined what would become the state of Israel. They only did what the French, English and Americans told them to do. More than 100 years later, the Israelis have consistently sought peace and prosperity for the region, only to be thwarted by radical Arab groups that seek the destruction of Israel. In the face of those circumstances, the Israelis cannot be faulted for anything they do. And yes, Bill, the Iranians are the prime instigators and financiers of the anti-Israeli mania, and you can lay all of this at there feet.
Albert, your story is well told, and mostly accurate, but I am not here to pick nits w you. There are 7 sides to any story, and yours is very solidly one of them. There is a current history taking place in the Middle East, but it is largely being ignored and/or buried by the media and most of the parties involved.
As Russia is growing, and developing, as it should, It is the largest land mass of the 7 continents, with the greatest amount of resources, it has been met w many challenges, both internal and external, along the way. As the West has continued to make Russia its favorite "bugaboo" instead of a trading partner, a large part of Russia's growth has come from its conflict and competition w the West instead of any Western cooperation. And that seems to be the West's continuing modus operandi: conflict and control over commerce and cooperation. And that puts all of the US's aging post-war relationships, new and old, at risk.
The new geo-political center (BRICS) is being birthed in Asia as Russia, China, India and Iran are finding ways to become better neighbors, through commerce and cooperation rather than through conflict and control. As relationships develop, communication, transportation and energy become key components of that growth. Oil and nuclear energy are key elements of that energy picture. Those key elements are being abandoned by the West for more unreliable and less efficient sources of energy: wind, solar, and battery EV power. The US continues to give LNG short shrift.
As demand for oil grows in the East, Russia has been developing its North Shore oil resources in the Arctic and its support w shipping fleets and energy pipelines to the South, the US has carelessly retarded its Arctic and Alaskan sources of oil. The US continues its energy miscalculations by coaxing the West and its Euro-state partners to abandon their dependence on oil, offering LNG and its commitments to other less reliable EV sources of energy.
To flex its economic muscle, it is assumed that it was the West, or a Western proxy, that blew up the Nord Stream pipeline that ran from Russia into Germany. However, Russia continues to grow w/o Europe. It is negotiating w China to build a pipeline from Siberia thru Mongolia into China to support both its oil and gas needs.
Russia is also building the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a 7,200-km (4500 mile) long multi-mode network of ship, rail, and road routes for moving freight and energy between India, Iran, Azerbaijan, Russia, Central Asia and Europe. It is to run from St Petersberg in the North to a port on the Arabian Sea in the South.
Now, back to Israel v Iran.
As this Eastern nexus develops, Russia is cozying up w Saudi, Iran and Turkey as neighbors and partners. It has even made offers to Israel. But questions arise about Israel's loyalty to the West. These are some of the sticking points that are arising around the Abraham Accords.
As for Iran, the Shia lean more toward supporting the Russian pipeline through Iranian territory. Turkey, who is abandoning NATO arms systems for Russian arms systems is motivated to drive the Kurds out of their mountain homes to clear the away any resistance to Turkey's access to the coming Russian pipeline. The Sunni (Arab) sect, who are behind the Houthi, the Hamas and Hezbollah tribes and their misdeeds, want the West out of Asia completely, and Israel is their most visible target for that expulsion.
For Israel to become more attractive to its Eastern neighbors, it is going to have to become more Eastern in its appearance and its relationships.
Will Israel ever completely abandon its loyalty to the West for Eastern peace? Even then, the warlike, anti-West Sunni will always be on Israel's shoulder. The Sunni (Arab) and Shia (Iran) have been warring w each other for nearly 1500 years. I would not expect a peaceful settlement to the Sunni-Israeli conflict anytime soon w/o some other outside, non-Western (Russian, Chinese, Indian) influence in the process.
Don't disagree with anything you have said. Remember Eisenhower. We are living today with the legacy of the "military-industrial complex." One of our greatest mistakes was not forcing the integration of Russia into modern Europe. When you push people out and constantly paint them as a pariah, they will live up to your expectations. It's hard to believe that Germany, England and Russia were once united by royal blood. But the "deep state (I really dislike that term)," mostly the intelligence communities, the defense industries and the global financial elites, need conflict, and the "Pax Americana" that wasn't, has ensured plenty of conflict to go around. I'll give Bill credit for one exceptional insight - as an empire, we suck; empires are supposed to be profitable, and we can turn a dime.
You are so correct about the many sides of this story and my response was narrow and specific. But do I think that the Israelis have an unblemished record? Absolutely not. My current point of view is driven by the events of October 7th. Israel hasn't been the best neighbor in recent modern times, but I like to point out that Gaza was Israeli territory until September 23rd, 2005, when it was ceded to "Palestine" as the first step in what was supposed to be a comprehensive peace treaty that would lead to a two-state solution. Less than 9 months later, the attacks from Gaza started. So, sticking a pin in the narrative starting at that point, I believe the Israelis have been much maligned, most of it unjustified.
Your energy observations are spot on. That is my field (after I retired from the Navy as a submarine officer). I, along with 4 partners, own one of the largest electrical contractors in the U.S. We mostly do very large-scale projects: substations and transmission lines for utilities, utility grid maintenance, industrial power blocks for refineries and steel mills, and lately, grid-scale renewables. We recently finished a 6 x12 mile giga-Watt-scale solar project. I have written many articles and white papers about the fallacies of the "electrification" of the global economy, but at the end of the day, we are pragmatic, and if people want to pay us to install millions of solar panels and thousands of containers of batteries, we are happy to do the work as best we can, and we do it very well.
But the benefits to society and the "globe" are nil. We raise the cost of energy, disadvantage our economy, and help finance people who might have interest's contrary to ours (notice I didn't say "enemies," because I am not sure how many enemies we would have, if we stuck to our knitting). But clearly, there are no benefits from most of the environmental efforts the world has undertaken. Much more could have been accomplished with better forestry management practices to reduce the wildfires that have contributed more CO2 to the atmosphere in California than all of California's cumulative emissions reductions efforts to date (my late father was a past president of the Society of American Foresters, and I learned to operate a fire plow and worked on the fire lines in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas in high school; I was able to get a farm equipment operator's license in Arkansas when I was 12; amazing what "kids' could do back then compared to today).
I always believe that we should conserve resources, but the developing world wants, needs and will get "cheap" energy. Natural gas (with energy efficiency measures) is the solution, and you are most correct regarding our failures to exploit it. I consulted on a grid modernization project for southeast Asian country a decade or so ago, and they wanted to (and ultimately did) build 26 new power plants. They were going to use coal, because it was cheap and readily available from Australia and elsewhere. I urged them to work with the U.S. through official channels to build natural gas plants and to lock in a long-term contract for inexpensive LNG. I think gas was a couple of bucks a million BTUs at the time, and even with compression and transportation, it was competitive, especially given the lower capital cost and higher efficiency of "H-class" gas turbine plants compared to coal. And, the U.S. could have exported much of the equipment. But they got no traction, and ultimately built coal plants. The emissions from those plants have offset any gains the world has made in emission reductions elsewhere. And those emissions ensure that no EV in that country will ever yield a net reduction in life-cycle CO2 emissions, because the "grid electric energy mix" is too carbon intensive.
We could go on; this is such a complex and nuanced collection of interconnected topics but suffice it to say that bad policies all around by the U.S has created most of the problems that we face. I am concerned that with our current deficit and geo-political posturing, we are in for an evitable and irreversible decline. I hope I am wrong.
Albert, Thank you for your intelligent and informed notes on these energy issues. It seems to me that wisdom in use of natural energy resources could make a major contribution to the state of the world. Since the early 20th century scrambling for "enough" energy has been one of the underlying contributors to the constant conflicts around the world.
Bill really hit a hot button on this essay. I think most Americans, except people with roots in either camp, are quite ignorant of current reality. Certainly they would fail a high school level test of the the issues and context. Thank you Napacfo for your detailed and reasonable note on the complexity and intractability created by the British and American interests in creating this situation.
I have always thought, that those who write - much like how they talk (on, and on, and, on) - must have little or no time to speak and write less verbosely, hmm? Y'know, like how about getting to the point?
The thin-skinned Mr Braunstein is rather one-dimensional in his skimming of Mr Bonner's current text. While Mr Bonner is identifying the dots, as is his mien, as he is leading us to his point about Mr Massie, Mr Braunstein is losing his breakfast over the dot beginning w "Other people, mostly dems..., ' and responds by calling Mr Bonner a liar for posting the dems' agenda of partisan hate against the Jewish state.
By pointing out the type of hostile environment that Mr Massie is is laboring in, does not make Mr Bonner a liar. It does give him credit for recognizing the subtleties and nuances, and in this case the blatant discord, driving the current herd of Leftist cattle to outrage.
I am sure that the JDL, and even AIPAC, are most cordial to Mr Braunstein in their literature about his responding to any remarks or perceived attacks that he deems anti-Semitic, including Mr Bonner's remarks, no matter how facile his efforts.
However, Mr Bonner's elocutions about any and all govt spending does manage to ruffle most people's feathers on both sides of the aisle, at one time or another, and that is, I'm sure, Mr Bonner's point. Any time the govt is out hustling for cash, people should be suspect, for it is their pockets that are being picked. And w each dollar surrendered to the tax man, there is one more element of freedom being lost from the lives of the dollar makers.
No matter how purposeful the cause that the govt is selling, it is well to be reminded of the costs, all the costs, of those transactions, and where those payments are going, where they are being made from, how they are being hidden from the tax payer, and what, if any, is the tax-payers' return on their govt's “investment.”
Govt, like any child or pet, left unattended, will turn from curious to mischievous to feral at any given moment. And that is the fault of the people who are supposed to be in charge: The citizen-tax payer. That is only human nature, to ignore the difficult while seeking out the easy. Thus, the birth of the “Deep State.”
That is how Republics turn into Empires: when the people become so overwhelmed by the growing business of the state, and they start delegating away their powers to others w/o tending to the proper controls, govts quickly become feral and frequently turn to bite the hands of those that feed them. And, like Caesar, the tax payers soon find themselves at the mercy of a merciless state. And their "Et tu, Brute"s fall on deaf govt ears.
And, like Antony, the govt rises up “...to bury (the)Caesar/(tax-payers), not to praise them...”
God speed, Mr Massie. May your flocks find room, and cause, to grow.
C'mon Bonner, what gives with the "Negative Vibes" most all the time? What is your answer to all what you believe and print? What are you doing with all your time and wealth grousing jus' about everyone and everything, They say wealthy men jus' want a little more A little more will be enough? Contentment is being satisfied with what one has not jus' a little more. C'mon what's really in your heart to do about what is wrong, hmm?
I agree with you Michael. I wonder why Bill hates the Jewish people so much? All that Ned’s to be done to end the war is that the Hamas terrorists surrender and free the kidnapped people.
We need more Massie's in Congress along with a fair press that informs the people not to indoctrinate them for the elites. Our current "journalists" make the old Soviet Pravda look fair.
America wants Yes men, when you have a counter opinion to the masses on either side one is branded uncooperative, and becomes unpopular.
The war in Ukraine is costly, a sure fire losing bet for America and Europe. However, Israel appears to be winnable as long as the real enemy is ignored. That enemy is the side that declared war upon both the Jewish race and the rest of the world. This enemy has been fighting the same war for 1400 years, they live to die. Islam cannot be killed the same as Christianity cannot be killed, directly attack a religion and it will grow. Bombs and bullets from America and Europe has created an untenable situation in the Middle East, we've doomed Israel while claiming to be their greatest ally.
Weapons of mass destruction the lie that became popular, and one that has ignited the fuse on WW3.
Russia, China, America, Europe, are simply the most recent dupes sucked into the war the Jews have been fighting against Islam for 1400 years, actually from the time of Abraham's wayward brother Lot. Lot was the author of Islam his spawn the Amorites and Moabites, from the Hebrew meaning 'immoral and 'children from a questionable father' respectively or in todays English "who's your daddy" for the later group. Wild asses of men, a perfect description, men who would be at war with themselves and the whole world. God say it coming with this group.
Declaring war on terrorism or Hamas is akin to have declared war on the SS but not the Nazis.
Too bad Abraham thought is wise to ask for Lot to be removed from Sodom. Too bad the military industrial complex is not interested in bring peace of the end of all wars. Inadvertently their actions will bring an end to all wars, but not one they're going to survive or profit from.
An old LSO's deep seated hate of Jews is typical. As a contractor and business owner, I interact with the educated and rational and the not so. A very discerning Jewish couple both from Romania asked "Why do Gentiles hate us so much?" An interesting question and one I knew the answer, but wanted to hear her opinion first. She believed it was out of jealousy, they value education and the application of what they've learned to gain wealth and make the world a better place.
I couldn't argue with her belief, but offered a deeper issue, one that was in turn created by the Jews. The three religions claiming Abraham as father have a paradox. To resolve the obvious discrepancies, Jews scoff at gentiles, while avoiding interaction on most all levels. Jews have placed themselves as God wanted them set apart from the world of gentiles.
However, God's plan was they'd be set apart into His covenant relationship and protected from the gentiles.
Christians have a different problem, their faith based or irrational religion is in fact in direct opposition to the God of Abraham. Paul wrote or influenced most all the NT, he was a Jew and familiar with Towrah. It would be necessary for Paul to drive off Jews as they knew he as a fraud. Paul's religion replaces the Jews with Gentiles, Towrah with a church, knowledge with faith, the messiah with a man god. Dowd is the messiah but only to Israel.
Replacement theology was born, Jews are devils destined to hell unless they convert.
Islam was also created by the Jews, yes, Muhammad was born in Yathrip todays Medina as such this 95% Jewish town pretty much assured Muhammad was Jewish by ethnicity as are many Muslims.
The Quran recounts Muhammad purchasing Talmud recitals from the local rabbis. Muhammad was running out of material, old Yemenite poems were not doing the job. If one reads the Quran it becomes clear the rabbis provided a lot of material, however, Muhammad like Joe Biden forgot which lie he told from one day to the next. He had a tendency to add to what the rabbis had provided and well some of the stories are quite a mess. With its 6 wholly different Genesis accounts with the first thing created by Allah is a Pen yes, a pen, no paper or planet to place either.
To sum up Jews created all three religions all hated by God while all within these religions claiming a superior revelation which in turn requires erasing or oppressing the others.
In between this lovely couple from Romania only wanting to make the world a better place, are caught in the irrational in between place.
I simply suggested they read Yada Yahowah the "Coming Home" volumes and their minds will be put at rest. I'm not at all sure they have bothered to do so. I'm only the guy who points the way, it's up to those I encounter to listen or not.
I might also suggest An ol' LSO do the same but read Twistianity formerly titled Questioning Paul.
Something to keep in mind, Christians most often cannot read past the first paragraph, but those who've read the entire book end up walking away from the religion entirely. Contrary to Christian belief, most would hate heaven. God is nothing like they imagined and heaven is not at all what they've come to believe it might be. Yahowah does not measure a man by his moral character, but how a person aligns their thinking with God. Dowd was a perfect example, a horn dog of a man, a very flawed person, and yet God calls Dowd His first born son, and eternal witness. Towrah does not mean law there are no commandments not even 10. The book is titled Dabarym in Hebrew, meaning Words or Statements, all revealed were scribed in the imperfect which conveys a ongoing action. Not thou shalt not, but "don't make a habit of" allowing a lot of leeway. No one is perfect God knows He created us.
Christians strive to be perfect and yet miss the entire point, God does not care if I were to have 10 wives and 10 concubines, as long as my will was aligned with His.
Very interesting. I’ll check out the reads you mentioned.
If true, a big question for me would be exactly how these historical factors translate into anti-semitism as it manifests itself. Since few are aware of any of this, we must be talking about something which operates far outside of consciousness at both the societal and individual level. At the level of unconscious causality, Freud also proposed a theory of antisemitism by Christians and Muslims framed within his ideas about Oedipal conflicts. In short, his notion was that Judaism was the father of both Christianity and Islam and - as such - antisemitism represents the child’s unconscious striving to eliminate and replace their own father displaced onto the Jews. Reasonable notion but - like your theory - is complex snd operates at an unconscious level. Your couples jealously theory is fewer steps and closer to consciousness and therefore may be more parsimonious. I’d modify their theory to replace jealousy with envy. Jealousy usually motivates one to try to accomplish achieving the thing you want. Envy - on the other hand - usually reflects a desire to destroy the thing which is coveted and valued but perceived as unattainable. As a small minority group with a higher average IQ and consequent disproportionate success, Jews are an easy target for envy whether you are a Nazi trying to rob them to fund your war effort or a person who is unconscious of your Oedipal envy of your own father, or just a loser trying to justify and explain your own lack of success.
Until now I Never understood why over many centuries thé jews attracted so Much hate and murder. Now while seeing thé most educated,verbally brilliant and cultivated country in thé World acting liké thé most brutal horryfing savages, now I understand
Yep - apparently good ol' Dennis T is a goyim and soon to be elevated from a third class bystander to full-fledged "Stupid Anti-Zionist". It is the way of Jews - if you don't line up and agree to exactly as they (of course, in their infinite wisdom) see things, then the lashing out begins. Israel is the ONLY SHINING LIGHT in the world. They so do detest the rest of us heathens, or are we goyims, or are we anti-zionists or are we anti-Israel or are we anti-Jewish, or anti-????????? Or just plain stupid! Just amazes me how nasty it gets when anyone (and especially poor ol' goyim Bill) dares to utter an off word on Israel. One question though - why do they subscribe?
So let’s see…you hate Jews because of how much they look down on you and hate you? Probably kidnapped and held in a Yeshiva as a boy? Are they always there with you or do they just pop out to humiliate you on special occasions?
Who said I hate Jews? Is that your view - anyone that doesn't toe the line and takes a different perspective MUST hate Jews? Like ol' Bill and his view it is criminal to keep killing 1,000s of innocent civilians in Gaza. So much tolerance from the Children of Israel - you are the wise ones that have the connections and are able to lead us all to life ever after if we would just toe the line! Really?
No Jews are making you “toe the line”. Group think and conformity is not “the way of the Jews”. You’re an idiot. Is that the way of (your ethnicity here)? Your simple minded misstatements, distortions, lies and misattributions are ample evidence of your deeply prejudicial beliefs and toxic hatred’s.
Dr. B (you must be wise and intelligent and a wonder) you are a "Dr." That changes everything. Oh, Forgive me who could I not have known how wonderful, kind, and always right you are. You know everything. And, such an elegant wit with words. Thoroughly enjoyed your choice of "idiot". But, then - on the other hand - why are you so vile when anyone disagrees with you? What, and I know it is heresy, it turns out you are WRONG! What if? Oh, no, I forgot you are the truth and light and you are a "Dr.". Everything you say is ABSOLUTELY true. Please forgive this ol' proles - how could I not see that. So plain and the whole world knows it. Praise be to Allah - oops, I think I got that wrong. Did I? P.S. This is so much fun. Thank you for another afternoon chuckle.
The misinformation surrounding God’s will is the result of religious malfeasance over a very long period of time, as such you’re rightfully confused. The religious have made if very hard to know God’s will, it will require a lot of work. Thankfully I have a 20 year head start due to the author whose books I have linked before.
Israel from the Hebrew Yish’ sara’ el means “Those (humans) who strive or contend with God”. Yahuwd means “related to God”. Jews for the most part live in contention with God, while related to God through eternal promises made to Abraham.
A goy is outside the family of God described as a foreigner. Paul lied, God teaches: Exodus 12:48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate Yahowah’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it. 49 The same Towrah shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
The rabbis also lied, the feasts are not Jewish holidays they are the only means to approach Yahowah to exist in His presence. Rabbis have obfuscated the feasts removing some, changing others while covering over their purpose. God has a name it was given to Moseh as Yahowah, if you do not know and love it, He does not know your soul. It is impossible to form a close personal relationship without knowing a person’s name, listening to their words, while discerning their purpose and will.
I am no longer a goy, I strive with God, according to God’s definition “he shall be like a native of the land “. This is not to say my ethnicity changes simply in the eyes of God I’m seen to be “like” a native. My charge is to call Jews back to their God before it is too late. There is an escape for those in covenant, who listen and act upon this certain day in our near future. We will be removed before man is allowed to do his worst to the planet and its population. Their worst will culminate in Israel with Muslims and other goys swarming the Promised land with a murderous spree, whipping out 2/3rds of Jews.
Isaiah recounts this time when Israel is thinned at the waste. While Daniel scribed the result and the characters involved. Daniel 9:27 recounts a treaty will all will be made by the leader of the world (errantly known as the anti-christ) offering peace in the Middle East. Israel will return to its 1967 boarders. The very same time where the Muslims attacked in hope of carrying out the “River to the sea” plot to eradicated Jews. This time around Progressives, and Orthodox Israelis (anti Zionists) will prevail in accepting land for peace the Two State final solution.
From Daniel: Thereupon (wa), he will confirm the prevailing (gabar) covenant, this agreement and arrangement (beryth) with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and with numerous among the elite(la ha rabym), for one week and based upon a single promise (‘echad shabuwa’). But halfway through the week (wa chatsy shabuwa’), he will stop the observance of the Shabat (shabath), the sacrifice (zebach), and the gift of an allocation (minchah).
The most extreme aspect (wa ‘al kanaph) of the repulsive abomination and monstrous religious idolatry (shiquwtsym) will astonish and desolate, incapacitate and mortify (shamem), such that there is an inability to be perceptive, a great longing, and all-encompassing anxiety, even complete and utter destruction when most will perish (wa ‘ad kalah).
It will occur quickly and decisively, with determination and decrees (wa charats) profusely poured out (natak) upon the astonished and stupefied who will perish because they are too stunned to respond (‘al shamem).’” (Dany’el / Daniel 9:27)
In the words of Dowd Selah, or “Pause and contemplate what you have just heard”.
Please refrain from religious debate, before stumbling on the YY site I was a Christian, elder in my church and a Sunday school teacher for 20 years. There is no religious doctrine I cannot blow out of the water. There was no Oral Law given by God. Moseh is very clear, he scribed every word spoken by Yahowah adding nothing of his own. Yahowah instructs those He communicates through to “write down on scrolls my words”. Christians God is very clear Dowd is His first born son, king of kings, eternal witness, sacrificial lamb, and mighty and capable man of God. Every prophecy Christians claim to be speaking of Jesus in fact names Dowd as the subject and this includes the poorly translated Isaiah 9:6. Dowd is mentioned 1000 times wherein Jesus, Yeshua or any variation of the name is never associated with a messiah, son of God, or lamb of God. Paul starts out with Dowd is dead and buried with his ancestors. Aka don’t look at Dowd too closely, look at my Jesus the new man god for the gentiles who coincidentally are unable to read Hebrew and ignorant of Towrah. Easy to be duped and looking for an easy way to heaven. Faith is counterproductive to knowledge.
I have ignored the Quran and Islam only in that few have read the Quran. It is the worst book ever written, makes no sense. Muhammad famously stated if one studies the Quran they will leave Islam and must be put to death. However, if you believe Muhammad had an association with the God of Abraham, explain Muhammad's claim that Allah told him a solar eclipse is he result of the sun falling off the back of a turtle, or that sun down is the result of aliens putting the sun in a muddle pool. Muhammad teaches religion cannot be compelled then calls the religion Islam meaning Submission, and Muslims are slaves to Islam, while apostates (rational people) must be put to death. Islam is a political movement hiding within a religion as such a religion for the comatose.
The low bar is set as a courtesy to you and an inducement to challenge the outer bounds of your reasoning capacity. So please proceed. What are them Jews doing to you today?
Well, you Jews, are giving a great deal of humor and fun. Just amazing how easy it is to get your panties in a wad. And, well, a Dr. - so special to have you stoop down to my level. As young Altschule says - the hatred and loathing commences. Thank you showing the world how tolerance you all be.
Perhaps you could reflect for a moment upon what passes as “fun” for you. Bothering other people is the best you’ve got? Run out of flies to pull the wings off?
You were given a chance to raise any issue of substance. You’ve got nothing. Except you were correct about my needing to stoop to your level to interact with you. I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps you weren’t really just an idiot filled with plus? Alas. I’ll leave you with a quote:
“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”.
Oh, bravo! Dear Dr. You are absolutely steadfast in your devotion to Israel regardless of the abundant information that has emerged discrediting Israel. But, hey, why bother with facts if one is devoted to Israel. Nothing else matters - your identify is so tightly wound and captured that you can't fathom you may be wrong. No sir! You are beyond certain. You have a widespread and obstinate belief in the righteousness of the criminal attack on the people living in Gaza. I understand identify plays a strong role in human affairs and how each person sees the world. I get it - you are unable to think except as programmed. Of course, that comes with being a Dr too. So why would that be a surprising. So feel free to call "names" and "insults" if that gives you some release. It bothers those that on occasion have a ponder about reality nary a start. Bother on, Dr.
I have not a worry in the world. This is because surely, You, Yahowah, have invoked certainty, appointing and placing by invitation, making available the sheltered sanctuary and safe harbor of the Almighty – Your place to dwell together. (Mizmowr / Psalm 91:9)
You will witness no harm or distress, no anxiety or misfortune. And no assault, blow, beating, wound, or trauma shall befall you, or be attempted around you, even though some will seek an opportunity to pick a fight and quarrel with you, it will not happen. Nothing of this kind will appear in proximity to your home or family! (Mizmowr / Psalm 91:10)
This is because, indeed, He will instruct and direct His spiritual envoys concerning you, to actually keep watch over you and genuinely guard you in all your ways and travels. (Mizmowr / Psalm 91:11)
AIPAC (American Israeli Political Action Committee) is an incredibly successful lobby. Powerful too. Perhaps the most powerful lobby in the US.
In the previous century, I shared an elevator with one of its lobbyists. Just he and me. Each a stranger to the other. We were both going to see members of Congress.
What I recall was how ecstatic and arrogant he was. In the silence of the ascending elevator, he couldn't help fill the void with a happy boast.
He told me me how easy it was for him to get members of Congress to do what he wanted done. He didn't want my response; he was just happy to tell someone of his recent success.
Not soon after being his one-man audience, I was successful too. Like the AIPAC lobbyist, I bought (with a campaign contribution) the vote I needed.
The difference: the vote he bought was to benefit Israel with US taxpayer funds; the vote I bought was to benefit US industry; their employees and customers.
My point: AIPAC exists to benefit a foreign country. It will undermine any member of Congress, or candidate for Congress, that deigns to put the interests of the US ahead of Israel's interests. AIPAC should be registered as a foreign agent but its lobbyists have frustrated every attempt over the years.
Two sociopathic barnacles on democracy (aka lobbyists) meet in an elevator and one of them fancies himself the virtuous one? Sounds like the beginning of a joke.
The deeper you dig the more disturbing it gets. I've never been a highly religous person but my desire to deepen my faith in a force for good grows daily as a necesary counter to the evil that is in this world.
Thomas Massie is the only representative that consistently upholds the principles of liberty this nation called America was founded upon. In my opinion, he exemplifies what it means to be an American patriot.
I disagree with much of what you said about Israel. They are NOT apartheid. Israeli leaders have tried many times for a 2 state solution; Palestinians leaders have never agreed. Israel took a land of desert voted by the UN and made a country out of it. Israel has never initiated an attack on the Palestenians; it has always retaliated for being attacked. It’s very sad that you never mention the horrific attack against Israeli civilians in October 2023. You may not be an anti-Semite, but you certainly don’t explain both sides of the conflict. BTW, the gaza area has been a Palestenian area. Instead of making a wonderful country for their people their leaders (mostly under Hamas) have used all the funds given to them for armaments and tunnels to attack Israel. You should learn more about the history of this conflict. Shame on you. AP
For once, Bonner and I are in total agreement, I actually like that Bozo Massie.
My question is, Why in the fu*k is Netanyahu presenting to Congress?
Is the Israeli government and US government ONE nation now, under God!?!
Blasphemy! 😂
Which part of the Constitution states that a foreign government can make its case on US soil and then get a handjob, I mean a handoff, for billions of dollars to fund the killing of poor and innocent people?
That’s called War Crimes!
The same goes for that Ukrainian prick Zelensky, when did America authorize war criminals to present their cases before the US government to justify billions in funding responsible for the killing of millions?
Shet, if that’s the case, China and Russia should welcome N. Korean Rocket man Kim, African Congo Warlord Chutha, Iranian General Nasser Al Hussen, and Balkan Ice Man Viska into their prestigious palaces to hear their cases against the west and give them billions of dollars to defend themselves!
But then again, that would be considered a War Crime! Hahaha😂😂😂
I remember when Dr Tom Coburn was referred to in the Senate as "Dr No"; the same with Dr Ron Paul in the House. And I also remember the time that there was snow on the ground in Washington, and the feds told all non-essential workers to stay home. Dr Paul appeared on the Neil Cavuto program and said, "It looks like Congress just declared themselves 'non-essential'; none of them showed up for work today!"
Who among us has the right to tell a foreign sovereign government how to run its country? What right does another country have to tell us what is right or wrong with us or our nation? We should spend our time, energy, intellect, and money helping to repair the infrastructure of our own house. We are running out of time if we haven't already. Let's promise to fix our house and let our neighbors deal with themselves. When we are done, we might understand that differences make life interesting. And then, if we succeed, we might also realize taking care of ourselves is a full-time job. We stopped taking care of ourselves a long time ago. That must change. So Bill stoking a fire over international affairs might be fun for you, but it does nothing to help Massie become president. And that would be a step in the right direction to repairing our infrastructure! Don't forget to vote.
TRULY UNFORTUNATE: Mr. Bonner is either totally ignorant about Israel or a blatant Jew Hater, or perhaps both. His arrogance and self-righteousness has always been irritating, but now there are highly disingenuous statements about Hamas, Israel, and world events. Mr. Bonner needs to step back and look into the mirror as his financial success does not equate to wisdom.
He just can't help himself. He is full of hate for Israel. What does he think River to the sea means?lollipops and roses or death for the Jews. I lost all respect for the man.
Thomas Massie is my favorite member of Congress. It’s unfortunate that there isn’t a majority just like him, it’s the only chance that this country has to survive into the future. Eventually the money printing ends, but what kind of Phoenix arises from the ashes?
Bonner's outright lies and half truths about Israel continue. He has used the hamas figure of those killed and failed to mention the number hamas members killed. he has said that israel targets hospitals and schools. That is a outright lie. They target terrorists. There are other lies as well. I suggest the Bonner visit Israel . He has called it an apartheid with not evidence and there is plenty to the contrary. Most importantly he has failed to mention that it is a war started by hamas.
There has never been a country, kingdom, realm, principality, palatinate, duchy, state or any other organized government of Palestine at any time in history. Palestine is a modern construct, and most of the "Palestinians" are opportunistic descendants of nomadic tribes. In all historical references, Palestine is a "region of Judea." Think otherwise, please name for me any ancient ruler of Palestine or delineate the boundaries and outline the history of any Palestinian kingdom or empire. I am waiting. I can outline for you precisely the history of the modern Middle East, and I will be the first to admit that it is a disaster that traces its roots to the Allied Administrative District in Cario after World War I (read "Churchill's Folly" for a primer), but the fact remains that "the World." such as it was after WWI, wanted the Jews out of Europe and told them to go live in "Zion." and outlined what would become the state of Israel. They only did what the French, English and Americans told them to do. More than 100 years later, the Israelis have consistently sought peace and prosperity for the region, only to be thwarted by radical Arab groups that seek the destruction of Israel. In the face of those circumstances, the Israelis cannot be faulted for anything they do. And yes, Bill, the Iranians are the prime instigators and financiers of the anti-Israeli mania, and you can lay all of this at there feet.
Albert, your story is well told, and mostly accurate, but I am not here to pick nits w you. There are 7 sides to any story, and yours is very solidly one of them. There is a current history taking place in the Middle East, but it is largely being ignored and/or buried by the media and most of the parties involved.
As Russia is growing, and developing, as it should, It is the largest land mass of the 7 continents, with the greatest amount of resources, it has been met w many challenges, both internal and external, along the way. As the West has continued to make Russia its favorite "bugaboo" instead of a trading partner, a large part of Russia's growth has come from its conflict and competition w the West instead of any Western cooperation. And that seems to be the West's continuing modus operandi: conflict and control over commerce and cooperation. And that puts all of the US's aging post-war relationships, new and old, at risk.
The new geo-political center (BRICS) is being birthed in Asia as Russia, China, India and Iran are finding ways to become better neighbors, through commerce and cooperation rather than through conflict and control. As relationships develop, communication, transportation and energy become key components of that growth. Oil and nuclear energy are key elements of that energy picture. Those key elements are being abandoned by the West for more unreliable and less efficient sources of energy: wind, solar, and battery EV power. The US continues to give LNG short shrift.
As demand for oil grows in the East, Russia has been developing its North Shore oil resources in the Arctic and its support w shipping fleets and energy pipelines to the South, the US has carelessly retarded its Arctic and Alaskan sources of oil. The US continues its energy miscalculations by coaxing the West and its Euro-state partners to abandon their dependence on oil, offering LNG and its commitments to other less reliable EV sources of energy.
To flex its economic muscle, it is assumed that it was the West, or a Western proxy, that blew up the Nord Stream pipeline that ran from Russia into Germany. However, Russia continues to grow w/o Europe. It is negotiating w China to build a pipeline from Siberia thru Mongolia into China to support both its oil and gas needs.
Russia is also building the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a 7,200-km (4500 mile) long multi-mode network of ship, rail, and road routes for moving freight and energy between India, Iran, Azerbaijan, Russia, Central Asia and Europe. It is to run from St Petersberg in the North to a port on the Arabian Sea in the South.
Now, back to Israel v Iran.
As this Eastern nexus develops, Russia is cozying up w Saudi, Iran and Turkey as neighbors and partners. It has even made offers to Israel. But questions arise about Israel's loyalty to the West. These are some of the sticking points that are arising around the Abraham Accords.
As for Iran, the Shia lean more toward supporting the Russian pipeline through Iranian territory. Turkey, who is abandoning NATO arms systems for Russian arms systems is motivated to drive the Kurds out of their mountain homes to clear the away any resistance to Turkey's access to the coming Russian pipeline. The Sunni (Arab) sect, who are behind the Houthi, the Hamas and Hezbollah tribes and their misdeeds, want the West out of Asia completely, and Israel is their most visible target for that expulsion.
For Israel to become more attractive to its Eastern neighbors, it is going to have to become more Eastern in its appearance and its relationships.
Will Israel ever completely abandon its loyalty to the West for Eastern peace? Even then, the warlike, anti-West Sunni will always be on Israel's shoulder. The Sunni (Arab) and Shia (Iran) have been warring w each other for nearly 1500 years. I would not expect a peaceful settlement to the Sunni-Israeli conflict anytime soon w/o some other outside, non-Western (Russian, Chinese, Indian) influence in the process.
Don't disagree with anything you have said. Remember Eisenhower. We are living today with the legacy of the "military-industrial complex." One of our greatest mistakes was not forcing the integration of Russia into modern Europe. When you push people out and constantly paint them as a pariah, they will live up to your expectations. It's hard to believe that Germany, England and Russia were once united by royal blood. But the "deep state (I really dislike that term)," mostly the intelligence communities, the defense industries and the global financial elites, need conflict, and the "Pax Americana" that wasn't, has ensured plenty of conflict to go around. I'll give Bill credit for one exceptional insight - as an empire, we suck; empires are supposed to be profitable, and we can turn a dime.
You are so correct about the many sides of this story and my response was narrow and specific. But do I think that the Israelis have an unblemished record? Absolutely not. My current point of view is driven by the events of October 7th. Israel hasn't been the best neighbor in recent modern times, but I like to point out that Gaza was Israeli territory until September 23rd, 2005, when it was ceded to "Palestine" as the first step in what was supposed to be a comprehensive peace treaty that would lead to a two-state solution. Less than 9 months later, the attacks from Gaza started. So, sticking a pin in the narrative starting at that point, I believe the Israelis have been much maligned, most of it unjustified.
Your energy observations are spot on. That is my field (after I retired from the Navy as a submarine officer). I, along with 4 partners, own one of the largest electrical contractors in the U.S. We mostly do very large-scale projects: substations and transmission lines for utilities, utility grid maintenance, industrial power blocks for refineries and steel mills, and lately, grid-scale renewables. We recently finished a 6 x12 mile giga-Watt-scale solar project. I have written many articles and white papers about the fallacies of the "electrification" of the global economy, but at the end of the day, we are pragmatic, and if people want to pay us to install millions of solar panels and thousands of containers of batteries, we are happy to do the work as best we can, and we do it very well.
But the benefits to society and the "globe" are nil. We raise the cost of energy, disadvantage our economy, and help finance people who might have interest's contrary to ours (notice I didn't say "enemies," because I am not sure how many enemies we would have, if we stuck to our knitting). But clearly, there are no benefits from most of the environmental efforts the world has undertaken. Much more could have been accomplished with better forestry management practices to reduce the wildfires that have contributed more CO2 to the atmosphere in California than all of California's cumulative emissions reductions efforts to date (my late father was a past president of the Society of American Foresters, and I learned to operate a fire plow and worked on the fire lines in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas in high school; I was able to get a farm equipment operator's license in Arkansas when I was 12; amazing what "kids' could do back then compared to today).
I always believe that we should conserve resources, but the developing world wants, needs and will get "cheap" energy. Natural gas (with energy efficiency measures) is the solution, and you are most correct regarding our failures to exploit it. I consulted on a grid modernization project for southeast Asian country a decade or so ago, and they wanted to (and ultimately did) build 26 new power plants. They were going to use coal, because it was cheap and readily available from Australia and elsewhere. I urged them to work with the U.S. through official channels to build natural gas plants and to lock in a long-term contract for inexpensive LNG. I think gas was a couple of bucks a million BTUs at the time, and even with compression and transportation, it was competitive, especially given the lower capital cost and higher efficiency of "H-class" gas turbine plants compared to coal. And, the U.S. could have exported much of the equipment. But they got no traction, and ultimately built coal plants. The emissions from those plants have offset any gains the world has made in emission reductions elsewhere. And those emissions ensure that no EV in that country will ever yield a net reduction in life-cycle CO2 emissions, because the "grid electric energy mix" is too carbon intensive.
We could go on; this is such a complex and nuanced collection of interconnected topics but suffice it to say that bad policies all around by the U.S has created most of the problems that we face. I am concerned that with our current deficit and geo-political posturing, we are in for an evitable and irreversible decline. I hope I am wrong.
Albert, Thank you for your intelligent and informed notes on these energy issues. It seems to me that wisdom in use of natural energy resources could make a major contribution to the state of the world. Since the early 20th century scrambling for "enough" energy has been one of the underlying contributors to the constant conflicts around the world.
Bill really hit a hot button on this essay. I think most Americans, except people with roots in either camp, are quite ignorant of current reality. Certainly they would fail a high school level test of the the issues and context. Thank you Napacfo for your detailed and reasonable note on the complexity and intractability created by the British and American interests in creating this situation.
I have always thought, that those who write - much like how they talk (on, and on, and, on) - must have little or no time to speak and write less verbosely, hmm? Y'know, like how about getting to the point?
fantastic
Nah, it started in 1948 when the Khazarian jews were taken to Palestine(Balfour Declaration) and stole the Palestinian land.
liar
Nah, reclaimed their land
How do jews from eastern europe who had never set a foot in Palestine reclaim land they had never been in?
Learn some history.
Likewise.
Jews have lived there longer than Palestinians.
They reclaimed their land? Would you support the Hawaiians reclaiming Hawaii, the Native Americans reclaiming the US, Mexico reclaiming Texas, etc!
Bulldude
there are slways 2 sides (& a rim) to a coin.
For sure. Bonner is lying.again.
The thin-skinned Mr Braunstein is rather one-dimensional in his skimming of Mr Bonner's current text. While Mr Bonner is identifying the dots, as is his mien, as he is leading us to his point about Mr Massie, Mr Braunstein is losing his breakfast over the dot beginning w "Other people, mostly dems..., ' and responds by calling Mr Bonner a liar for posting the dems' agenda of partisan hate against the Jewish state.
By pointing out the type of hostile environment that Mr Massie is is laboring in, does not make Mr Bonner a liar. It does give him credit for recognizing the subtleties and nuances, and in this case the blatant discord, driving the current herd of Leftist cattle to outrage.
I am sure that the JDL, and even AIPAC, are most cordial to Mr Braunstein in their literature about his responding to any remarks or perceived attacks that he deems anti-Semitic, including Mr Bonner's remarks, no matter how facile his efforts.
However, Mr Bonner's elocutions about any and all govt spending does manage to ruffle most people's feathers on both sides of the aisle, at one time or another, and that is, I'm sure, Mr Bonner's point. Any time the govt is out hustling for cash, people should be suspect, for it is their pockets that are being picked. And w each dollar surrendered to the tax man, there is one more element of freedom being lost from the lives of the dollar makers.
No matter how purposeful the cause that the govt is selling, it is well to be reminded of the costs, all the costs, of those transactions, and where those payments are going, where they are being made from, how they are being hidden from the tax payer, and what, if any, is the tax-payers' return on their govt's “investment.”
Govt, like any child or pet, left unattended, will turn from curious to mischievous to feral at any given moment. And that is the fault of the people who are supposed to be in charge: The citizen-tax payer. That is only human nature, to ignore the difficult while seeking out the easy. Thus, the birth of the “Deep State.”
That is how Republics turn into Empires: when the people become so overwhelmed by the growing business of the state, and they start delegating away their powers to others w/o tending to the proper controls, govts quickly become feral and frequently turn to bite the hands of those that feed them. And, like Caesar, the tax payers soon find themselves at the mercy of a merciless state. And their "Et tu, Brute"s fall on deaf govt ears.
And, like Antony, the govt rises up “...to bury (the)Caesar/(tax-payers), not to praise them...”
God speed, Mr Massie. May your flocks find room, and cause, to grow.
Bullshit
It is a shame that you cannot read and make assumptions. Bonner flat out lied.
When you start making assumptions, you start making an A$$ out of U and ME!
You are as headstrong about Israel as Soros is about his progressives.
That doesn't make you right or wrong, just obnoxious.
YOU JUST MADE AN ASSUMPTION MAKING AN AS OUT OF YOURSELF. good job. You did it not me. Bonner lied and that is a fact.
One dimensional, repetitive and obnoxious. You sound like a 'Bot.
You add nothing to the dialogue. Would you like to add some useful information or just cry like a baby?
Bonner has done a good job at looking like a "third rate grandstander" at best.
C'mon Bonner, what gives with the "Negative Vibes" most all the time? What is your answer to all what you believe and print? What are you doing with all your time and wealth grousing jus' about everyone and everything, They say wealthy men jus' want a little more A little more will be enough? Contentment is being satisfied with what one has not jus' a little more. C'mon what's really in your heart to do about what is wrong, hmm?
I agree with you Michael. I wonder why Bill hates the Jewish people so much? All that Ned’s to be done to end the war is that the Hamas terrorists surrender and free the kidnapped people.
He has spent too much time in Ireland. It is a virulent anti-semitic country.
Perhaps Bill could use his connections where he and you could visit Gaza and compare with Israel?
Some boots on the ground reporting, with 2 independent perspectives could be... insightful.
Toss out a challenge, be prepared to get called on it
I prefer not to be tortured by barbarians.
Ok Bonner I challenge you to visit Israel. There is a good chance the Hamas would als welcome you. good luck with the barbarians.
Why should In be there? Give me a clue. Did you make an assumption to make an ass of yourself.
Sir, are you a dual citizen?
yes- but not with ant middle eastern countries.
Hamas, exists because of Israel, is that right?
wrong.
Look up genocide. Get educated.
Altschule, normally I take the opposite view to you, but I agree with you today.
Who, really is in control of the US government and Federal reserve
Jamaal Bowman is/was a jerk.. and the squad ought to be sent to Gaza.. I’ll pay for the ticket
We need more Massie's in Congress along with a fair press that informs the people not to indoctrinate them for the elites. Our current "journalists" make the old Soviet Pravda look fair.
America wants Yes men, when you have a counter opinion to the masses on either side one is branded uncooperative, and becomes unpopular.
The war in Ukraine is costly, a sure fire losing bet for America and Europe. However, Israel appears to be winnable as long as the real enemy is ignored. That enemy is the side that declared war upon both the Jewish race and the rest of the world. This enemy has been fighting the same war for 1400 years, they live to die. Islam cannot be killed the same as Christianity cannot be killed, directly attack a religion and it will grow. Bombs and bullets from America and Europe has created an untenable situation in the Middle East, we've doomed Israel while claiming to be their greatest ally.
Weapons of mass destruction the lie that became popular, and one that has ignited the fuse on WW3.
Russia, China, America, Europe, are simply the most recent dupes sucked into the war the Jews have been fighting against Islam for 1400 years, actually from the time of Abraham's wayward brother Lot. Lot was the author of Islam his spawn the Amorites and Moabites, from the Hebrew meaning 'immoral and 'children from a questionable father' respectively or in todays English "who's your daddy" for the later group. Wild asses of men, a perfect description, men who would be at war with themselves and the whole world. God say it coming with this group.
Declaring war on terrorism or Hamas is akin to have declared war on the SS but not the Nazis.
Too bad Abraham thought is wise to ask for Lot to be removed from Sodom. Too bad the military industrial complex is not interested in bring peace of the end of all wars. Inadvertently their actions will bring an end to all wars, but not one they're going to survive or profit from.
I feel like I’m reading a neuropsych evaluation of a paranoid schizophrenic with head trauma.
An old LSO's deep seated hate of Jews is typical. As a contractor and business owner, I interact with the educated and rational and the not so. A very discerning Jewish couple both from Romania asked "Why do Gentiles hate us so much?" An interesting question and one I knew the answer, but wanted to hear her opinion first. She believed it was out of jealousy, they value education and the application of what they've learned to gain wealth and make the world a better place.
I couldn't argue with her belief, but offered a deeper issue, one that was in turn created by the Jews. The three religions claiming Abraham as father have a paradox. To resolve the obvious discrepancies, Jews scoff at gentiles, while avoiding interaction on most all levels. Jews have placed themselves as God wanted them set apart from the world of gentiles.
However, God's plan was they'd be set apart into His covenant relationship and protected from the gentiles.
Christians have a different problem, their faith based or irrational religion is in fact in direct opposition to the God of Abraham. Paul wrote or influenced most all the NT, he was a Jew and familiar with Towrah. It would be necessary for Paul to drive off Jews as they knew he as a fraud. Paul's religion replaces the Jews with Gentiles, Towrah with a church, knowledge with faith, the messiah with a man god. Dowd is the messiah but only to Israel.
Replacement theology was born, Jews are devils destined to hell unless they convert.
Islam was also created by the Jews, yes, Muhammad was born in Yathrip todays Medina as such this 95% Jewish town pretty much assured Muhammad was Jewish by ethnicity as are many Muslims.
The Quran recounts Muhammad purchasing Talmud recitals from the local rabbis. Muhammad was running out of material, old Yemenite poems were not doing the job. If one reads the Quran it becomes clear the rabbis provided a lot of material, however, Muhammad like Joe Biden forgot which lie he told from one day to the next. He had a tendency to add to what the rabbis had provided and well some of the stories are quite a mess. With its 6 wholly different Genesis accounts with the first thing created by Allah is a Pen yes, a pen, no paper or planet to place either.
To sum up Jews created all three religions all hated by God while all within these religions claiming a superior revelation which in turn requires erasing or oppressing the others.
In between this lovely couple from Romania only wanting to make the world a better place, are caught in the irrational in between place.
I simply suggested they read Yada Yahowah the "Coming Home" volumes and their minds will be put at rest. I'm not at all sure they have bothered to do so. I'm only the guy who points the way, it's up to those I encounter to listen or not.
I might also suggest An ol' LSO do the same but read Twistianity formerly titled Questioning Paul.
Something to keep in mind, Christians most often cannot read past the first paragraph, but those who've read the entire book end up walking away from the religion entirely. Contrary to Christian belief, most would hate heaven. God is nothing like they imagined and heaven is not at all what they've come to believe it might be. Yahowah does not measure a man by his moral character, but how a person aligns their thinking with God. Dowd was a perfect example, a horn dog of a man, a very flawed person, and yet God calls Dowd His first born son, and eternal witness. Towrah does not mean law there are no commandments not even 10. The book is titled Dabarym in Hebrew, meaning Words or Statements, all revealed were scribed in the imperfect which conveys a ongoing action. Not thou shalt not, but "don't make a habit of" allowing a lot of leeway. No one is perfect God knows He created us.
Christians strive to be perfect and yet miss the entire point, God does not care if I were to have 10 wives and 10 concubines, as long as my will was aligned with His.
Very interesting. I’ll check out the reads you mentioned.
If true, a big question for me would be exactly how these historical factors translate into anti-semitism as it manifests itself. Since few are aware of any of this, we must be talking about something which operates far outside of consciousness at both the societal and individual level. At the level of unconscious causality, Freud also proposed a theory of antisemitism by Christians and Muslims framed within his ideas about Oedipal conflicts. In short, his notion was that Judaism was the father of both Christianity and Islam and - as such - antisemitism represents the child’s unconscious striving to eliminate and replace their own father displaced onto the Jews. Reasonable notion but - like your theory - is complex snd operates at an unconscious level. Your couples jealously theory is fewer steps and closer to consciousness and therefore may be more parsimonious. I’d modify their theory to replace jealousy with envy. Jealousy usually motivates one to try to accomplish achieving the thing you want. Envy - on the other hand - usually reflects a desire to destroy the thing which is coveted and valued but perceived as unattainable. As a small minority group with a higher average IQ and consequent disproportionate success, Jews are an easy target for envy whether you are a Nazi trying to rob them to fund your war effort or a person who is unconscious of your Oedipal envy of your own father, or just a loser trying to justify and explain your own lack of success.
What a croc
Until now I Never understood why over many centuries thé jews attracted so Much hate and murder. Now while seeing thé most educated,verbally brilliant and cultivated country in thé World acting liké thé most brutal horryfing savages, now I understand
Bullshit Carlos.
Brilliant and well reflected answer
Dr B
Succinct, accurate and complete.
Yep - apparently good ol' Dennis T is a goyim and soon to be elevated from a third class bystander to full-fledged "Stupid Anti-Zionist". It is the way of Jews - if you don't line up and agree to exactly as they (of course, in their infinite wisdom) see things, then the lashing out begins. Israel is the ONLY SHINING LIGHT in the world. They so do detest the rest of us heathens, or are we goyims, or are we anti-zionists or are we anti-Israel or are we anti-Jewish, or anti-????????? Or just plain stupid! Just amazes me how nasty it gets when anyone (and especially poor ol' goyim Bill) dares to utter an off word on Israel. One question though - why do they subscribe?
So let’s see…you hate Jews because of how much they look down on you and hate you? Probably kidnapped and held in a Yeshiva as a boy? Are they always there with you or do they just pop out to humiliate you on special occasions?
Who said I hate Jews? Is that your view - anyone that doesn't toe the line and takes a different perspective MUST hate Jews? Like ol' Bill and his view it is criminal to keep killing 1,000s of innocent civilians in Gaza. So much tolerance from the Children of Israel - you are the wise ones that have the connections and are able to lead us all to life ever after if we would just toe the line! Really?
You are so ignorant abdul
No Jews are making you “toe the line”. Group think and conformity is not “the way of the Jews”. You’re an idiot. Is that the way of (your ethnicity here)? Your simple minded misstatements, distortions, lies and misattributions are ample evidence of your deeply prejudicial beliefs and toxic hatred’s.
Dr. B (you must be wise and intelligent and a wonder) you are a "Dr." That changes everything. Oh, Forgive me who could I not have known how wonderful, kind, and always right you are. You know everything. And, such an elegant wit with words. Thoroughly enjoyed your choice of "idiot". But, then - on the other hand - why are you so vile when anyone disagrees with you? What, and I know it is heresy, it turns out you are WRONG! What if? Oh, no, I forgot you are the truth and light and you are a "Dr.". Everything you say is ABSOLUTELY true. Please forgive this ol' proles - how could I not see that. So plain and the whole world knows it. Praise be to Allah - oops, I think I got that wrong. Did I? P.S. This is so much fun. Thank you for another afternoon chuckle.
The misinformation surrounding God’s will is the result of religious malfeasance over a very long period of time, as such you’re rightfully confused. The religious have made if very hard to know God’s will, it will require a lot of work. Thankfully I have a 20 year head start due to the author whose books I have linked before.
Israel from the Hebrew Yish’ sara’ el means “Those (humans) who strive or contend with God”. Yahuwd means “related to God”. Jews for the most part live in contention with God, while related to God through eternal promises made to Abraham.
A goy is outside the family of God described as a foreigner. Paul lied, God teaches: Exodus 12:48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate Yahowah’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it. 49 The same Towrah shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
The rabbis also lied, the feasts are not Jewish holidays they are the only means to approach Yahowah to exist in His presence. Rabbis have obfuscated the feasts removing some, changing others while covering over their purpose. God has a name it was given to Moseh as Yahowah, if you do not know and love it, He does not know your soul. It is impossible to form a close personal relationship without knowing a person’s name, listening to their words, while discerning their purpose and will.
I am no longer a goy, I strive with God, according to God’s definition “he shall be like a native of the land “. This is not to say my ethnicity changes simply in the eyes of God I’m seen to be “like” a native. My charge is to call Jews back to their God before it is too late. There is an escape for those in covenant, who listen and act upon this certain day in our near future. We will be removed before man is allowed to do his worst to the planet and its population. Their worst will culminate in Israel with Muslims and other goys swarming the Promised land with a murderous spree, whipping out 2/3rds of Jews.
Isaiah recounts this time when Israel is thinned at the waste. While Daniel scribed the result and the characters involved. Daniel 9:27 recounts a treaty will all will be made by the leader of the world (errantly known as the anti-christ) offering peace in the Middle East. Israel will return to its 1967 boarders. The very same time where the Muslims attacked in hope of carrying out the “River to the sea” plot to eradicated Jews. This time around Progressives, and Orthodox Israelis (anti Zionists) will prevail in accepting land for peace the Two State final solution.
From Daniel: Thereupon (wa), he will confirm the prevailing (gabar) covenant, this agreement and arrangement (beryth) with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and with numerous among the elite(la ha rabym), for one week and based upon a single promise (‘echad shabuwa’). But halfway through the week (wa chatsy shabuwa’), he will stop the observance of the Shabat (shabath), the sacrifice (zebach), and the gift of an allocation (minchah).
The most extreme aspect (wa ‘al kanaph) of the repulsive abomination and monstrous religious idolatry (shiquwtsym) will astonish and desolate, incapacitate and mortify (shamem), such that there is an inability to be perceptive, a great longing, and all-encompassing anxiety, even complete and utter destruction when most will perish (wa ‘ad kalah).
It will occur quickly and decisively, with determination and decrees (wa charats) profusely poured out (natak) upon the astonished and stupefied who will perish because they are too stunned to respond (‘al shamem).’” (Dany’el / Daniel 9:27)
In the words of Dowd Selah, or “Pause and contemplate what you have just heard”.
Please refrain from religious debate, before stumbling on the YY site I was a Christian, elder in my church and a Sunday school teacher for 20 years. There is no religious doctrine I cannot blow out of the water. There was no Oral Law given by God. Moseh is very clear, he scribed every word spoken by Yahowah adding nothing of his own. Yahowah instructs those He communicates through to “write down on scrolls my words”. Christians God is very clear Dowd is His first born son, king of kings, eternal witness, sacrificial lamb, and mighty and capable man of God. Every prophecy Christians claim to be speaking of Jesus in fact names Dowd as the subject and this includes the poorly translated Isaiah 9:6. Dowd is mentioned 1000 times wherein Jesus, Yeshua or any variation of the name is never associated with a messiah, son of God, or lamb of God. Paul starts out with Dowd is dead and buried with his ancestors. Aka don’t look at Dowd too closely, look at my Jesus the new man god for the gentiles who coincidentally are unable to read Hebrew and ignorant of Towrah. Easy to be duped and looking for an easy way to heaven. Faith is counterproductive to knowledge.
I have ignored the Quran and Islam only in that few have read the Quran. It is the worst book ever written, makes no sense. Muhammad famously stated if one studies the Quran they will leave Islam and must be put to death. However, if you believe Muhammad had an association with the God of Abraham, explain Muhammad's claim that Allah told him a solar eclipse is he result of the sun falling off the back of a turtle, or that sun down is the result of aliens putting the sun in a muddle pool. Muhammad teaches religion cannot be compelled then calls the religion Islam meaning Submission, and Muslims are slaves to Islam, while apostates (rational people) must be put to death. Islam is a political movement hiding within a religion as such a religion for the comatose.

What absurd bullshit
The low bar is set as a courtesy to you and an inducement to challenge the outer bounds of your reasoning capacity. So please proceed. What are them Jews doing to you today?
Well, you Jews, are giving a great deal of humor and fun. Just amazing how easy it is to get your panties in a wad. And, well, a Dr. - so special to have you stoop down to my level. As young Altschule says - the hatred and loathing commences. Thank you showing the world how tolerance you all be.
Perhaps you could reflect for a moment upon what passes as “fun” for you. Bothering other people is the best you’ve got? Run out of flies to pull the wings off?
You were given a chance to raise any issue of substance. You’ve got nothing. Except you were correct about my needing to stoop to your level to interact with you. I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps you weren’t really just an idiot filled with plus? Alas. I’ll leave you with a quote:
“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”.
- Mark Twain
Oh, bravo! Dear Dr. You are absolutely steadfast in your devotion to Israel regardless of the abundant information that has emerged discrediting Israel. But, hey, why bother with facts if one is devoted to Israel. Nothing else matters - your identify is so tightly wound and captured that you can't fathom you may be wrong. No sir! You are beyond certain. You have a widespread and obstinate belief in the righteousness of the criminal attack on the people living in Gaza. I understand identify plays a strong role in human affairs and how each person sees the world. I get it - you are unable to think except as programmed. Of course, that comes with being a Dr too. So why would that be a surprising. So feel free to call "names" and "insults" if that gives you some release. It bothers those that on occasion have a ponder about reality nary a start. Bother on, Dr.
Sure thing Abdul..
I have not a worry in the world. This is because surely, You, Yahowah, have invoked certainty, appointing and placing by invitation, making available the sheltered sanctuary and safe harbor of the Almighty – Your place to dwell together. (Mizmowr / Psalm 91:9)
You will witness no harm or distress, no anxiety or misfortune. And no assault, blow, beating, wound, or trauma shall befall you, or be attempted around you, even though some will seek an opportunity to pick a fight and quarrel with you, it will not happen. Nothing of this kind will appear in proximity to your home or family! (Mizmowr / Psalm 91:10)
This is because, indeed, He will instruct and direct His spiritual envoys concerning you, to actually keep watch over you and genuinely guard you in all your ways and travels. (Mizmowr / Psalm 91:11)

AIPAC (American Israeli Political Action Committee) is an incredibly successful lobby. Powerful too. Perhaps the most powerful lobby in the US.
In the previous century, I shared an elevator with one of its lobbyists. Just he and me. Each a stranger to the other. We were both going to see members of Congress.
What I recall was how ecstatic and arrogant he was. In the silence of the ascending elevator, he couldn't help fill the void with a happy boast.
He told me me how easy it was for him to get members of Congress to do what he wanted done. He didn't want my response; he was just happy to tell someone of his recent success.
Not soon after being his one-man audience, I was successful too. Like the AIPAC lobbyist, I bought (with a campaign contribution) the vote I needed.
The difference: the vote he bought was to benefit Israel with US taxpayer funds; the vote I bought was to benefit US industry; their employees and customers.
My point: AIPAC exists to benefit a foreign country. It will undermine any member of Congress, or candidate for Congress, that deigns to put the interests of the US ahead of Israel's interests. AIPAC should be registered as a foreign agent but its lobbyists have frustrated every attempt over the years.
AIPAC is in complete violation of The First Amendment.
The AIPAC lobby violates the Constitution because its actions involve illegal activities and infringe upon the constitutional rights of others.
Power to the People! 😂
Bullshit
Two sociopathic barnacles on democracy (aka lobbyists) meet in an elevator and one of them fancies himself the virtuous one? Sounds like the beginning of a joke.
Another anti-Semitic comment.. are you bonner’s mother?
Being an antisemitic turd 💩 on line is not exactly the standard measure of bravery, integrity, morality or rationality.
The deeper you dig the more disturbing it gets. I've never been a highly religous person but my desire to deepen my faith in a force for good grows daily as a necesary counter to the evil that is in this world.
AIPAC may have spent money to beat Jamaal Bowman, but he lost his race because he is a f*cking moron.
Or both could be true.
Thomas Massie is the only representative that consistently upholds the principles of liberty this nation called America was founded upon. In my opinion, he exemplifies what it means to be an American patriot.
Bill:
I disagree with much of what you said about Israel. They are NOT apartheid. Israeli leaders have tried many times for a 2 state solution; Palestinians leaders have never agreed. Israel took a land of desert voted by the UN and made a country out of it. Israel has never initiated an attack on the Palestenians; it has always retaliated for being attacked. It’s very sad that you never mention the horrific attack against Israeli civilians in October 2023. You may not be an anti-Semite, but you certainly don’t explain both sides of the conflict. BTW, the gaza area has been a Palestenian area. Instead of making a wonderful country for their people their leaders (mostly under Hamas) have used all the funds given to them for armaments and tunnels to attack Israel. You should learn more about the history of this conflict. Shame on you. AP
For once, Bonner and I are in total agreement, I actually like that Bozo Massie.
My question is, Why in the fu*k is Netanyahu presenting to Congress?
Is the Israeli government and US government ONE nation now, under God!?!
Blasphemy! 😂
Which part of the Constitution states that a foreign government can make its case on US soil and then get a handjob, I mean a handoff, for billions of dollars to fund the killing of poor and innocent people?
That’s called War Crimes!
The same goes for that Ukrainian prick Zelensky, when did America authorize war criminals to present their cases before the US government to justify billions in funding responsible for the killing of millions?
Shet, if that’s the case, China and Russia should welcome N. Korean Rocket man Kim, African Congo Warlord Chutha, Iranian General Nasser Al Hussen, and Balkan Ice Man Viska into their prestigious palaces to hear their cases against the west and give them billions of dollars to defend themselves!
But then again, that would be considered a War Crime! Hahaha😂😂😂
Netanyahu is smarter and has more balls than any of the politicians in the US
I agree, Netanyahu doesn’t give a Flying F where the bombs land!
Schools, parks, nurseries, hospitals, Human Shields, what’s that he says?
Boom Boom Boom, kill e’m all and let God sort them out! 😂
He’s got a big pair of balls right between his legs, and he uses them every day.
“Here we go Mr. Big Balls!” 😂
Netanyahu addressing US Congress:
“Well let’s see now…that’s uh….Palestinians 50,000 and Israelis 0, anybody else wanna play with Cupcake?”
Why not visit Tutankaman and stay there permanently.. I’ll pay for your trip
Did your face turn into a “Redstone” when you were typing that? 😂
With less than 2% of the population the Jewish people own congress? You sound like someone named Adolf
Grandpa Biden, “He Gone Mister”.
😂
I remember when Dr Tom Coburn was referred to in the Senate as "Dr No"; the same with Dr Ron Paul in the House. And I also remember the time that there was snow on the ground in Washington, and the feds told all non-essential workers to stay home. Dr Paul appeared on the Neil Cavuto program and said, "It looks like Congress just declared themselves 'non-essential'; none of them showed up for work today!"
Who among us has the right to tell a foreign sovereign government how to run its country? What right does another country have to tell us what is right or wrong with us or our nation? We should spend our time, energy, intellect, and money helping to repair the infrastructure of our own house. We are running out of time if we haven't already. Let's promise to fix our house and let our neighbors deal with themselves. When we are done, we might understand that differences make life interesting. And then, if we succeed, we might also realize taking care of ourselves is a full-time job. We stopped taking care of ourselves a long time ago. That must change. So Bill stoking a fire over international affairs might be fun for you, but it does nothing to help Massie become president. And that would be a step in the right direction to repairing our infrastructure! Don't forget to vote.
Rich: AMEN, AMEN and AMEN
TRULY UNFORTUNATE: Mr. Bonner is either totally ignorant about Israel or a blatant Jew Hater, or perhaps both. His arrogance and self-righteousness has always been irritating, but now there are highly disingenuous statements about Hamas, Israel, and world events. Mr. Bonner needs to step back and look into the mirror as his financial success does not equate to wisdom.
So what is in the Kentucky water? Great Senator and Rep from the great state!
The survey is flawed, Powell will cut but not because inflation is tamed but because the US budget is blowing up!
He just can't help himself. He is full of hate for Israel. What does he think River to the sea means?lollipops and roses or death for the Jews. I lost all respect for the man.
Are the Jews God's chosen? Were they given the land 4000 years ago? Is this a spiritual battle started
in the Garden of Eden? Yes to these questions is a Biblical World View. Without that view it IS hard to
understand events in the middle east.
