Who’s wiping whom off the map?
The Levant, circa 850 BCE, prior to the sacking of Jerusalem by the Philistines, Arabs, Ethiopians, Romans, and Islamic sultanates.
Netanyahu’s stated objective, which constitutes a new stage in the 75 year old war (since Nakba, 1948) against the people of Palestine is no longer predicated on “Apartheid” or “Separation”. This new stage –which is also to directed against Israelis who want peace– consists in “total appropriation” as well as the outright exclusion of the Palestinian people from their homeland.
This type of analysis is typical of much of what is being written. There are five lies in the preceding paragraph: 1) By stating that this is a 75-year-old war that began in 1948, the authors ignore 1400 hundred years of Islamic atrocities against Jews, based on the Qur’an using the same lie as the so-called “New Testament,” that the Jews killed Jesus; in other words, this is an example of cherry picking history, a logical fallacy; 2) Nakba is the term for when Jews, who escaped the Holocaust in which both Christians and Muslims participated, took over Israel, and approximately 750,000 Muslims were pushed out to Gaza and the West Bank; but, what isn’t mentioned is that 850,000 Jews were expelled from Islamic countries and came to Israel; so, again, another bit of cherry picking by ignoring relevant facts; 3) Apartheid refers to separation of races, a popular slander by Muslims who claim that European Jews are not Semitic, but rather Khazarian, based on a work of fiction (a novel, The Thirteenth Tribe); however, gene testing shows Semitic markers in European Jews, so the social dynamic is not apartheid; 4) during Roman times, Palestina referred to the Philistine states, now Gaza (see map at the top), until the Bar Kokhba Revolt against the Roman occupiers in 135 C.E. After expelling the Jews and enslaving many of those who remained,[1] Hadrian wiped Israel off the map by changing the name of Syria, Israel/Judaea, and the Philistine states to “Syria Palestina,” employing a common modus operandi of conquerors, to erase the history of the conquered.[2] Thus, it was the Romans, not “the Palestinians,” who changed the name of Israel/Judaea. This was within a decade of Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon changing the story of the crucifixion from the Romans killing Jesus for sedition to the Jews asking the Romans to kill him for blasphemy (for which the punishment at the time would have been stoning).
[1] After 70 C.E., Jews were only allowed to practice their religion if they paid the Jewish tax, and after 135 C.E. were barred from Jerusalem except for the day of Tisha B'Av, just as Jews were barred from the Old City by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Sunni Islam) until 1967, when the Old City was captured during the Six-Day War.
[2] H.H. Ben-Sasson, A History of the Jewish People, Harvard University Press, 1976, ISBN 0-674-39731-2, page 334: “In an effort to wipe out all memory of the bond between the Jews and the land, Hadrian changed the name of the province from Judaea to Syria-Palestina, a name that became common in non-Jewish literature.”
And, 6) the notion of the Palestinians, as a people, are a fiction, as Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammadm speaking on Al-Hekma TV, admitted in March 2012:
“Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians …”
The false-flag issue
A lot of speculation has swirled around the ease at which Hamas’ invasion of Israel took place—including charges that it was a huge intelligence failure of the Mossad and, inversely, that was planned by Israeli intelligence as an excuse to go after Hamas.
As the most popular argument goes, it’s highly unlikely that the Mossad (and the CIA, as the article says) had no foreknowledge of the invasion, given the claim that Egypt tried to warn Israel of the preparations. From what we have gathered, there are other indications of Israeli foreknowledge, including its movement of troops away from the Gazan border to the West Bank. There are also claims that Hamas was using US automatic weapons rather than their standard AK-47 issue but, if so, these could have come from Afghanistan by any number of routes, when the US hurriedly pulled out.
The problem with this line of reasoning is that those who claim that the Hamas invasion is a false flag event, do so based on the first logical fallacy noted in the article at the top of this discussion; that is, that these hostilities began in 1948. If one steps backs to when this began, and see it as a long standing religious war, then so-called “false flags” are tactics; in other words, strategic traps, just like the US baited the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor. For example, just who is trying to wipe whom off the map?
From the beginning, Mohammed had no issues with slaughtering Jews and others wholesale:
• 626 CE: The Jewish tribe of al-Nadir crushed and expelled
• 627 CE: The Jewish tribe of Quarayzah raided by Mohammed
• 628 CE: The Treaty of Hudaybiyya; truce with the Quraysh, who recognize Mohammed's right to proselytize without hindrance
• 629 CE: The Jews of Khaybar put to the sword. Mohammed send letters and messengers to the Kings of Persia, Yemen, and Ethiopia and the Emperor Heraclius, inviting them to accept Islam.[1]

Granted, there were periods of time when Jews, Christians, and Moslems lived together in relative non-violence, in 10th and 11th century Spain and in the environs of Salonika (Greece) starting in the 15th century until the Nazi invasion, but even there, Jews were always 2nd and 3rd class citizens (again, as a result of the edited version of the Christian bible).
The Islamic jihad continues today:

“Many common interests exist between the Islamic world and Greater Germany, and those make cooperation a matter of course. The Reich is fighting against the same enemies who robbed Moslems of their countries and suppressed their faith in Asia, Africa, and Europe. ... Further, National Socialist Germany is fighting against world Jewry. The Koran says: ‘You will find that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Moslems.’ There are also considerable similarities between Islamic principles and those of National Socialism, namely in the affirmation of struggle and fellowship, in stressing leadership, in the ideas of order, in the high valuation of work. All this brings our ideologies close together and facilitates cooperation.” —Speech to the Bosnian Muslim Waffen-SS Division (Handzar) by Muhammad Hajj Amin Al-Husseini (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem), January 1944.[1]
“When the Mohammedans attempted to penetrate beyond France and into Central Europe during the eighth century when they were driven back at battle of Tours. Had the Arabs won this battle, the world would be Mohammedan today. For theirs was a religion that believed in spreading the faith by sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. The Germanic people would have become heirs to that religion. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament.” —Adolf Hitler quoted by Albert Speer, Inside the Third Reich, page 96.
“(Palestinians) won't allow Jews to contaminate, with their filthy feet, our holy sites ... every drop of blood that is spilled in Jerusalem is pure blood.” —Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, October 2015

Unfortunately, such a long history of atrocities has drawn a commensurate response:
US, Israeli Lawmakers Call for Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
As we discuss in 7 Steps to Global Economic and Spiritual Transformation: Volume II: Application of Tools: Section IV: WWIII treaty stipulations, the requirements for a lasting peace involve addressing the basis for the religious beliefs that underlie these hostilities.
These are age-old questions regarding what have, until recently, been considered intangible and unanswerable—many of which revolve around what philosophers call “the first cause”; that is, who or what is responsible for the beginning of the universe?
Over this same timeline of human history, logic, scientific method, and empirical reasoning have made steady progress uncovering certain truths regarding the nature of the visible and invisible universe in which we find ourselves, including some insights in both astrophysics and quantum physics.
Without going into all the mathematical and physical details, let us begin with the proposition that on a universal scale, the state of Singularity (the plasma ball before the so-called Big Bang) represents everything that ever was, is, and will be, which is literally the same thing as the most generic description of deity—omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence.
This is the convergence point of science and spirituality, in which both concepts are true at the same time, depending on one’s point of view, much like our observation of the wave-particle phases of quanta.
The ramifications of this convergence point on religions include the potential to replace the entire range of disparate belief systems with what we term “scientific monotheism”; that is, the first cause of Singularity is unknowable and can be equally described in scientific or spiritual terms.
For example, if we compare the three Abrahamic religions to scientific monotheism, we can see where each diverges from this new standard:
Judaism: Judging from the practices of Ethiopian Jews who came to Israel to escape from a civil war, the original practices of Judaism were closer to the monotheistic ideal than present day practices; however, many of the key elements of monotheism are still embedded in present-day Judaism, including the prohibition against pronouncing the name of G-d, thus preserving the ineffability of describing Deity, which is directly akin to the generic description of deity that we presented above. While this aspect of the supreme being receives regular and strong emphasis in the Torah, the dependency in worship on historical events and practices are religious in nature and peripheral to the central notion of monotheism, which we have shown has a scientific basis in Singularity.
Christianity: As we discussed in our previous post, the Christian bible is a version of events that was edited by Roman empire via a church formed for the purposes of controlling the masses. While there were a number of key edits (in the 2nd and 4th centuries CE) that changed Jesus’ teachings, the most egregious was shifting the blame for the crucifixion from the Romans to the Jews, thus making the Christian bible the source and root cause of anti-Semitism. This was done during the same decade in which the Roman empire attempted to wipe Israel and Judaea off the map by renaming Syria, Israel, and the Philistine states as “Syria Palestina”; and thus, the myth of Israel as Palestine was born. During the 2nd century, when Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon synthesized the so-called Christian bible from the edited testaments of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, he also declared that all other testaments were heresy and should be burned. A number of other testaments were spirited out of the area and buried in the desert, to be discovered over 1800 years later—known today as the Gnostic Gospels and the Dead Sea Scrolls—which provide a significantly different picture of Jesus and his teachings, essentially as a prophet within the context of Judaism, primarily with Jewish followers. Much of the trappings of Christianity, such as the virgin birth, Jesus as the son of G-d, and the trinity would be considered blasphemous by Jesus. There is also archeological evidence that he taught we are all children of G-d. Thus, in light of our model of science and spirituality, the distillation of Christianity reverts to Judaism, which reverts to the generic deity and its equivalent, Singularity.
Islam: Like fundamentalist Christianity, Islam relies on proselytizing to add to its ranks and, per its claim as the spiritual heir to Judaism and Christianity, as “the one true religion” to which the world must subscribe and abide. Also, like Christianity, Islam holds to tenets that would be blasphemous to Jews: To begin with, claiming that the infinite has a specific name, Allah, abridges a fundamental principle of monotheism; second, by embedding the Christian bible’s lie that the Jews killed Jesus, it contributes to global anti-Semitism; third, by building a mosque on the site of the first and second Temples, it attempted to create a religious symbol that is, in reality, a political and military statement by conquerors at that time; and, finally, in a similar fashion, claims that Mohammed is “the last prophet,” attempting to preempt any further spiritual teachings or evolution, which would be considered blasphemous by both Jews and Christians in its truncation of human development.
In addition, all three of these religions exhibit varying degrees of misogyny, which certainly disqualify them, in their present states, as evolutionary practices.
How religion affects nation-state foreign and domestic policies
Maduro Condemns Israeli Aggression Against Palestine
This is a "historic conflict" Maduro said, denouncing “how their territory was plundered and how for 75 years the Palestinian people have been subjected to what today is considered a new apartheid. What is happening in the Gaza Strip has been described by the United Nations and human rights organizations as a new apartheid,” Maduro said.
Maduro is the head of state of a country where two-thirds of the people are Roman Catholic and 90% of the population identifies as Christian. Such underlying belief systems, based on the Christian bible, which blames the Jews for the death of Jesus, are prejudiced against Jews in a variety of ways. For example, Maduro conveniently ignores the long history of Roman Catholic and Islamic atrocities against the Jews, cherry picking history to frame the situation in the Levant as beginning in 1948, three years after the Roman Catholic Church and Islam participated in the Holocaust. Also, we see that Maduro buys into the fallacy of apartheid, meaning that he accepts the Islamic lie that European Jews are not Semitic, despite DNA tests that prove otherwise. Finally, Maduro is suddenly a fan of the UN, which has done nothing for Venezuela in the face of US sanctions. The obvious explanation for Maduro’s purposeful mischaracterization of the situation is that he is appealing to the prejudices of his constituency.
Iran denies helping Hamas plot attack on Israel
Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas spokesman, told the BBC that the militants had “direct backing” from Iran. However, Ali Baraka, another Hamas official, insisted in an interview with NBC News that Tehran had not been notified about 'Operation Al-Aqsa Flood' beforehand. “It was a surprise to everyone, including Iran,” he said.
Hamas received weapons and training from Iran, officials say
The leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, acknowledged in an interview last year that his group received $70 million in military assistance from Iran. According to a State Department report from 2020, Iran provides about $100 million annually to Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.
2023 Nobel prize in Economic Sciences awarded to Claudia Goldin
The Economics Award was created in 1968 by Sweden's central bank and is formally known as the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Last year's winners were former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip Dybvig for their research into bank failures that helped shape America's aggressive response to the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
As we discussed recently, Nobel Prizes in general are filtered for political and economic content. In the case of the prize for economics, the panel is beholden to the private central banking system, and awards those who have created excuses for the abuses of capitalism.
“… Smaller banks also tend to be absorbed at high rates by large banks in the aftermath of crises. As a consequence, the market share of large banks tends to grow in crises, making them even more dominant going forward. … We show that the aftermath of banking crises can account for 40% of the total increase in top-5 banks’ asset share across history.” …
“The frequency of banking crises is not lower in large-bank-dominated banking systems. In fact, conditional on experiencing a crisis, real economic outcomes are more severe in banking systems dominated by a few big banks.”
Such studies are not new, but the the usual response from inside the matrix is to suggest “new banking regulations” which, even if approved, are generally rescinded in short order. All of this—the consolidation of the banks and other corporations, the periodicity of recessions and bank failures, the marginalizing of studies, etc.—is by design.
US Deposits $43-Million Compensation in Iran's Account
The United States accepted successive legal defeats to Iran over the past months, of which the most important one was the ruling by the International Court of Justice.
US compliance with the decision of an international judiciary is the exception, rather than the rule. In any case, we would like to see such compensations extended to Venezuela for the assets stolen by the US and UK.
