You also can’t scream about climate change and support wars either. The largest polluter of this planet is the global war machine with the US being the biggest baddest war machine on the planet. When these warmongers brag about their war machine, they are not even thinking about the impact of their war machine on the climate crisis. Climate Change is just another talking point that has more to do with controlling the masses and filling their pockets. It just shows how deep their hypocrisy goes, but it also shows how limited in scope, the average person is in understanding and then decrying their hypocrisy. Even cute little Greta is hard pressed to connect the dots.

Ironically, thousands of Israelis became the “refugees” this time around. Many of them had dual citizenship and openly claimed when they landed safely in their “land/country of origin”… “I’m happy to be home.” And those who did not have dual citizenship, took a boat, bus, train to escape the “war” their illustrious leader got them into.

All of a sudden, Israel is not “home” to those Israelis escaping war. These dual citizens had the “Trump” card. They could leave, resettle somewhere else, assimilate with ease, be welcomed with open arms, and have all the rights of the country they were “born” in. Not so true for the indigenous who were bombed out of their original “home” countries. When the tables turned, these dual citizens are not considered “those” immigrants” that nobody wants in their countries.

The so-called Promise Land became a dangerous place, so the dual citizenship folks could just pack up and leave it behind. It just shows how much they really believed that the Promised Land belonged to them as they ran away from it, instead of staying to fight for it. They showed their fellow Israelis just how loyal they were to the “call’ to return to the “Promised Land” by ditching them to fend for themselves.

And Netanyahu??? Well, he closed the airport down to those Israeli’s who did not have dual citizenship, caging them inside, like Israel has caged the Palestinians. Of course those Israelis with dual citizenship who emigrated back to their “home countries” to escape the bombs, will always have the “right of return”.

It had long been said that the average citizen could sit in Congress and run the country much better than the professional politicians. I now wonder if that's true anymore. With a U.S. literacy rate at, what, 76%, as compared to 99% in China, 97% in Russia, could the average American sit in Congress and run the country? When an empire goes, it goes. Case closed. Sorry [No I ain't] for the glum comment. I just been feeling quite glummy, ever since April 5th, 1968. Or, more briefly, to borrow a term of exasperation from our [non-Zionist] Yiddish-speaking friends, Oy vey.

The average American-citizen of the USA, I prefer to call them, because America includes Canada and Mexico.. Anyways, the educational system of the average US citizen had been in the process of dumbing them down for decades, then you throw in a little fluoride, pesticides, gmo, junk food, vaccines, toxic chemicals and additives, addictive drugs, and who knows whatever else for good measure, and you have a lot of folks who are clueless.

However, judging from how clueless the folks who managed to get themselves voted into office, personally, I'd rather take my chances on the average US citizen, at least there would be an obvious reason why they would be clueless.

Perhaps the not-so-obvious reason our politicians are clueless was explained by the late Gonzalo Lira, three years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDOa9PW3lnU

Check it, if you get a chance. My summary of his 1-hr, 44-min analysis is this: While going through the "educational" process, including high school, our would-be leaders develop a form of habituated conformity that leads to habituated incompetence.

When they graduate--including from the "elite" schools--those entering the political system join others, before them, who are equally habituated to conformity. Then, as we common people used to call it, everybody "plays the game." In my opinion, that is one reason our foreign policy is still rooted in the 1990s, especially with respect to Russia. They're all stuck, none of them wanting to, nor knowing how, to break out.

Of course, even Lira's analysis is surface. Because it avoids the issue of the inner dimension of the human entity: the spiritual dimension. I believe that all of this madness is traced to a lack of abiliry, or just absense of, nurturing the spirit.

Now, Nana, I AIN'T talking about religion. Why is it, for example, that I was able to cure my oldest daugher, when she was a child, of a blood disease that medical doctors could not? I wrote about that in a Substack article entitled, The Vast and Vital Importance of Intuition and Intuition Development.

Why was I able to cure my wife of her Willis-Ekbom Disease, using something called Reconnection Therapy? Why was I able to cure and ex-girlfriend, Naimah Latif, of a back problem that Chiropractors, medical doctors, etc., couldn't, using a consciousness-based healthcare modality called BodyTalk?

'

I ain't bragging [That's a lie], but I've lived to my 70s. I was BLESSED, as I see it, to have lived during what's now called the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and part of the 1970s (I'd say, up to 1975). It was a time when we young people were delving into the inner dimensions of the human entity. And, again: I ain't talking about religion.

Our Western world is abysmally lacking what I call "spirituality," just as a term that I use to mean what I call the "inner dimension of the human entity," so as to avoid the possibility of getting hung up on religion.

By the way, in the above-mentioned article you'll find what I call the "navigation" process that I used to cure Naimah of her back issues. It was all consciousness-based. I didn't lay a finger on her. BodyTalk is quite fascinating.

Well, anywho, sorry [again] for the length of this comment. It's the sharing part that drive me, see. By the way, anyone interested in BodyTalk, go to the BodyTalk website:

Sorry, but a quick PS. The System keeps us in a frenzy, our minds occupied, SO THAT we never fully deal with our spirituality; with the inner domension of the human entity. I believe, though I can't prove it, that this is purposeful.

"Sorry, but a quick PS. The System keeps us in a frenzy, our minds occupied, SO THAT we never fully deal with our spirituality; with the inner domension of the human entity. I believe, though I can't prove it, that this is purposeful." I must agree with you here, Ron.
