— Here’s What I Think

I could write that subtitle or tagline, “Now What’s Going On With Israel?” any day, any week, any month or year of my 62, or anyone else’s however many.

Do you get it?

Even world wars, like numbers I and II, had a beginning and an end.

With Israel, it’s one crisis after another going back to when Abraham thought he was going to have to kill his son Isaac, 3800 years ago. That’s lotsa years. You have to wonder if it’s by design.

It fits the recent profile, at least, where there must always be a fresh, new and improved global crisis. These are the ones that come along to bolster, shore up, and make sure you don’t forget that the world is always in terrible peril, and we’ve always got a bunch of parasitical opportunists caring authorities looking out for us.

There are the forever perils:

• The climate crisis
• The energy crisis
• The wealth disparity crisis
• The poverty crisis
• The misogyny crisis
• The racist crisis
• The Middle East crisis
• And more

But those aren’t enough anymore, and even localized things like bad storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, terrorism, mass shootings, terrorist acts, and whatever, don’t seem to be enough to keep attention focussed where it needs to be—which in case you didn’t know, is on the TV screen or popular, mainstream websites, so that Pfizer and Moderna can program you suggest to you endlessly that you probably have problems and what you should ask your doctor about.

… They don’t call it “television programming” for nothing.

Since about the time “smart” phones got big thanks Apple the global-approved-narrative gets harder and harder to control. So over about the last decade we’ve got to have enhanced crises that are increasingly global. There’s always wars and such, plenty of news, but it’s always here, there, and everywhere, but distinct and different for different people according to values, culture, geography, history, etc.

We had our sets of problems to capture and captivate us, others had theirs.

But now, their flavor has altogether become increasingly of a we’re-all-in-this-together nature.

The term “global” is the most overused in history, perhaps. Few things are actually of genuine global concern.

The world is big. Fly over it, sometime.

Making everything global and a subject for comment and debate on every weigh-in section available massages egos.

You really can make a difference!!!

Globally?

Fuck off. Put the bong down.

In just about the last 8 years:

1. Drop everything; Great Britain wants to end Europe!
2. Drop Everything; Donald Trump wants to grab all pussies!
3. Drop Everything; There’s a virus!
4. Drop Everything; Some people don’t give a shit there’s a virus!
5. Drop Everything; There’s a new drug that will save the world!
6. Drop Everything; Some people don’t give a shit there’s a new drug!
7. Drop Everything; Ukraine is the new Kingdom of Heaven and Zelenskiy is Messiah!
8. Drop Everything; Russia is the new River of Styx and Putin is the Devil beckoning you to cross!
9. HOLD Everything; China’s new Social-Control Social Accountability Tech is really something just look at that!

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed—and hence clamorous to be led to safety—by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” — H.L. Mencken

Now Israel, again. Brand new global crisis. I haven’t checked, but are the David Stars and baby-blue flags going up on various social media profiles everywhere yet, as a show of global virtue-signalling solidarity?

I wanna puke.

Listen. I’ve got nothing against Jews, by no means am I anti-Semitic (which is a ridiculous term anyway, since Arabs are Semites, so could hardly be considered anti-Semitic I digress). In fact, the Jewish friends I have had over the course of my life have been some of the most intelligent, insightful, and especially, non-mystical in my orbit.

Let me drop a timeline on you.

We’re nearly 4,000 years away from the advent of the Jewish religion. It was contemporary with the polytheistic blathering of the Egyptians during the time of Moses a mere 3,400 years ago.

… Yet people go around talking Jews this, Christians that, Muslims the other thing, interchangeably, like they’re just three variants and at one time, they may have even been drinking buddies. In human ability to think over spans of time, the separation of these three “branches” might as well be geologic in scale.

It’s a fuck of a long time ago.

Anyone have any real clue or notion how people even thought 3,800 years ago?

Me either.

There’s a far bigger problem though, and it’s also a clue as to why Islam is at odds with both Christianity and Judaism.

Christianity explicitly subsumes and subordinates itself to Judaism. The Tanakh is integral to Christianity, being its history and prophesy. They simply renamed it “Old Testament.” Well, they got the old right, for sure.

Conveniently, when it serves whatever purposes, Christians can wave various things away by invoking the that’s-the-old-testament rule.

Apparently, the 22 or so verses in the OT referring to the Jews as God’s all-time favs, though, that’s not old.

It’s New and Improved, and it’s great for the military-industrial conflict complex business.

… But here, frankly, is what’s simped and cucked about Christianity: Jews reject it. They executed Christ as a criminal, political prisoner, take your pick.

No, the Romans, you say? Ha, well what a coup then, since it was the Romans who concocted Christianity out of the whole madness of the times.

Christianity, in essence, is the product of Roman political posturing and likely had something to do with containment of the Jews, though I haven’t studied that in particular.

… Besides which, how cucked, really. Explains a lot, when you observe how utterly fucking stupid and cucked are the most conservative and devout of the Christian God & Country Republicans, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory every single time. The stupidest political party in the history of human civilization.

We stand with Israel!!!

(… And incidentally, persecuted Christians all over the world can go pound sand we don’t give a fuck…not God’s chosen people.)

It’s the equivalent of watching your wife get banged over and over by BBD thinking if you just agree to watch one more time, she’s finally going to love and respect you.

UPDATE: I plum forgot to mention this in the post, but you can thank the Brits. Their Balfour Declaration of 1917 set up the perfect storm of eternal, never-ending, regional conflict that is equally never-ending chops-licking for the parasitic opportunists and the military-industrial conflict.

UPDATE 2: I had an HONEST conversation with Chatbot Zon about it, over on the Discord server.
