It came as a surprise to me to see flashes of warmth, affection and mutual respect during the moments on the 25th of November when the Israeli captives were handed off to Red Cross officials by Hamas fighters of the Qassem Brigades. Not only were the captives shown to be in good health. They were well scrubbed and calm in their demeanour. One young women on crutches had obviously been receiving medical attention. At the end of her 7 week ordeal, time probably spent largely in the Gaza tunnels, she and one of her captors seemed touched with warm emotion as they parted, each going their own way to very different futures. They exchanged tender looks and little waves as the young woman said in Arabic Shukran, “thanks.” Other similar scenes were pictured as a other captives in Gaza were transported back to Israel on the second day of a several-day respite in the bombardment. This little snapshot of sane interactions between human beings near the very heart of a holocaust-level event, seemed to fly in the face of the stereotypes contaminating too many minds in setting the mental environment within which the Gaza Kill Fest has been unfolding. The objectives of the leadership running the Israeli side of this operation go far beyond the stated goal of conquering and eliminating a Palestinian organization, one founded and funded by the Israeli government. https://tribune.com.pk/story/2302309/how-and-why-israel-helped-create-hamas Hamas was meant by its Israeli founders to further the Israeli effort to avoid a two-state resolution to the longstanding Palestine-Israel conflict. What we are seeing in fact is the the culmination of the strategy to put a permanent end to even the possibility of a two-state solution. In fact the decision to depopulate Palestine of Palestinians, may be leading much of the international community to a conclusion that runs exactly opposite to what the Netanyahu-led government intends. To be more explicit, the objective of Netanyahu and his Jewish supremacist constituents led by fascist Itamar Ben-Gvir, is to quickly eliminate by a variety of means the entire population of Palestinians who have survived three generations of violent abuse under the rule of Zionist Israel. For decades these Palestinians have stubbornly refused to remove themselves from the lands of their ancestors regardless of all the pressures put on them to leave or just fade away into despondent despair. The objective of the Israeli genocidaires is to destroy all the infrastructure that makes life possible in Gaza. The aim is to push forward a scorched earth strategy to transform Gaza into a desolate a wasteland incapable of supporting human existence. The tactics include a Dresden-style bombardment of human habitations. The result is that 80% of the 2.3 million Gazans are already homeless and internally displaced. Water treatment facilities are being dismantled as sewers and other sanitation facilities are being destroyed including in the remaining Palestinian districts in the West Bank.
Special measures have been taken to eliminate all capacity for growing and processing food. Even the remnants of institutions for recreation and cultural appreciation are being wiped into oblivion. The Israeli government’s proudest feat of ruination, has been to transform hospitals into bombed-out morgues on a scale that has probably never been seen before in military history. As we shall see, this strategy of transforming hospitals into death camps can be interpreted as a particularly morbid legacy of the insanities done in the name of fighting COVID-19. On his way the the “War on Hamas,” Netanyahu had a big role in incorporating these insanities, many of them lethal, into Israeli policy in ways that proved lethal and injurious for many Israeli citizens. The Israeli government is trying to cover up many of these lethal insanities in Gaza through the IDF’s targeted assassination of journalists, photographers and even their families. Dozens have of them have been killed since October 7 along with many UN officials charged to record the extent of Israeli savagery.
From Netanyahu on down, Israeli officials make it clear that they are far from finished in their quest to make Gaza uninhabitable. The strategy so far has been to flatten Gaza’s buildings but especially those in its main population centre, Gaza City. The ceasefire has presented more openings for the cameras to record the devastation from many angles. In spite of the intense bombardment, thousands of northerners have refused to leave, preferring instead to live in tents in front of their destroyed homes. The ceasefire has resulted in the temporary opening up to a trickle of essential supplies desperately needed by more than 2,000,000 starving and thirst people, many of them suffering all sorts of injuries. This trickle of incoming supplies have slightly mitigated the draconian measures put in place by the Defence Minister. On October 8 Yoav Gallant notoriously announced that the “human animals”in Gaza would be subjected to a “siege” including being cut off from all food, water, and electricity. Apparently Itamar Ben Gvir, the Minister of National Security who publicly declared his contempt for the ceasefire agreement, was particularly distraught with Netanyahu for letting in gasoline. Netanyahu is still seemingly in charge although he is hated by much of Israeli population. During the 7 weeks of bombing, the Jewish people of Israel mostly supported the military operation. But that support is apparently dwindling as the fate of the Israeli captives is more and more highlighted in the media. There was something very discordant in Netanyahu’s claim that the way to free the Israeli hostages was to continue the blitzkrieg pounding their captors. It is not known how many Israelis, if any, have already been killed by Israeli-US bombs dropped inside Gaza. While Netanyahu continues to stay out of jail by retaining his job as Prime Minister, he is once again being confronted with public protests at his home demanding that he resign.
The military operations have included an Israeli order to Gazans in the northern sector of the Gaza strip to move southwards. Many from this internally displaced population used the ceasefire to travel north in an effort to find their dead relatives in the rubble heaps and possibly to locate a few of their possession that might have survived the bombing. IDF soldiers briefly broke the ceasefire by firing at northward-headed Palestinians. Two were killed and several were injured. The internally displaced population are being assembled in the south Gaza. They are being conveniently placed into close proximity to the Rafah crossing into Egypt. The plan has been to push the process of exterminating as many Palestinians as possible before making the survivors into a new form of intergeneration refugee. Efforts have been aimed at bully and bribing the government of Egypt into setting up refugee camps in the Sinai Desert.
Another scenario is to force more survivors of the US-Israeli bombardment into Western countries. This subject has large implications addressed by Tucker Carlson and others. They compare the desire of people in Israel to be exclusively and monolithically Jewish, even as Zionist power brokers demand intensified and enlarged multicultural mixing throughout the West. The core motivation in the Zionist quest to eliminate Palestinians from Israel is not difficult to understand. Many Jewish citizens of the Jewish state want to extract themselves from the dark legacy of the inconvenient truths about how their country came to emerge and grow from the violent ongoing expropriation of the land of Palestine. No amount of passing of Netanyahu-style laws to declare that Israel is under the exclusive sovereign proprietorship of the Jewish people, can change this history. In fact the ugly side of this genocidal history would only be rendered more shameful in the eyes of much of the world if the land of Palestine was to be ethnically cleansed of its entire Palestinian population. There would be no need for a two-state solution if there were no more indigenous Palestinians to form the Arab state called for in the UN Resolution that launched Israel into the realm of international affairs. It is this convergence of current events, changing attitudes, and inherited realities that causes me to question if the Jewish State of Israel might henceforth be better understood as the Genocidal State of Israel. As I see it, the flash of affection and decency displayed in the handover process indicates the situation is not yet hopeless. A similar scene was re-enacted on day six of the ceasefire, as the release Israeli teenage men hugged, smiled and shook hands with members of the Qassam Brigades as they were being handed off to the Red Cross. Why not make friends, not hatred and war? From God’s Chosen People, to Manifest Destiny, to Annihilating the Swastika BearersThose who after WWII declared, “Never Again,” are themselves committing a new Holocaust complete with obscene PR campaigns. One such campaign can be seen as a telling marker of the emergence of the Genocidal State of Israel. This marker is the now-notorious video of a choir of Jewish children singing angelic praise for mass murder. This production by Rosenbaum Communications represents a new low in manipulative war propaganda. Putting such poisonous words into the mouths of innocent minors, amounts to nothing short of child abuse. The video was removed from its biggest platform “ for violating You Tube’s Terms of Service.” The children affirmed in this song that, “within a year we will annihilate everyone.” By “everyone” the producers apparently mean all Palestinians who are described generically as “swastika-bearers.”
Like the child singers of the genocidal song, many Israeli officials have clearly declared their country’s intention to eliminate all Palestinians from Israel. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-extremist-incendiary-language-rhetor A clear indication of the fraudulent nature of the Israeli government’s description of its military campaign as a “War on Hamas” is that the slaughter is being pushed forward not only inside Gaza but outside Gaza as well. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-extremist-incendiary-language-rhetor As shall be explained in more detail below, the West Bank is well outside the jurisdictional sphere of Hamas. The Palestinians of the West Bank are currently assigned by their Israeli rulers to the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority. The PA is another another branch of the Israeli-authorized system for governing Palestinians. A proliferation of Jewish “settlements” have been built in the West Bank since the region was illegally conquered along with the Gaza enclave by the IDF in 1967. Both the West Bank and Gaza were assigned by the United Nations to the Arab state that has yet to be created Gallant’s description of Palestinian’s as “human animals” deserving of genocide is widely reflected and even exceeded in similar pronouncements coming from many prominent Israelis. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-extremist-incendiary-language-rhetoric Of course this resort to dehumanizing language followed up by genocidal action has been a persistent theme in the Israeli entity’s treatment of the Palestinians since its founding acts of violently uprooting native people in the so-called War of Independence in 1948. Now, many Israels are intent on “finishing the job.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-its-allies-repurposing-goals-lies-1948-gaza-2023/5840896 Prime Minister Menachin Begin’s description in 1982 of the Palestinian leader and martyr, Yasser Arafat, as “a beast walking on two legs” can be seen as a forerunner of Gallant’s description of the IDF’s targets as human animals. Arafat, by far the most unrelenting leader in the history of the movement for Palestinian self-determination, was killed by poisoning in 2004 through contamination with radioactive polonium. The Israeli campaign of genocidal onslaught in Gaza is nothing like that of state-backed armies doing battle in open spaces. The Gaza Massacre in more like a modern-day version of an American Indian war, only the Indigenous peoples are locked up in a fort from which there seemed to be no exit until October 7 of 2023. Moreover the Palestinians of Gaza face some of the most sophisticated weaponry coming from the vast and sophisticated arsenals of their Zio-American attackers. The plight of the Palestinians and Native Americans have often been compared by Norman Finkelstein and others, including myself. The Native peoples of both Palestine and the United States have both been subject to the force of Biblical interpretation. The founders of both New England and Israel saw themselves as Israelites, chosen by God for a divinely-sanctioned mission starting with the seizure of the Promised Land from the Indigenous peoples. The theology of the New England Puritans was given a twist in the adoption by US expansionists of the view that America had a “Manifest Destiny” granted by God to rule North America, the Western Hemisphere and eventually the world. In taking over the imperial mission of Great Britain, the United States assumed leadership of the Zionist vision of building up a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. This history forms much of the background for the establishment of Israel in 1947-48. This geopolitical partnership between the United States and its Israeli offshoot evolved into the thesis that both countries are exceptional polities not subject to the usual restrictions of the law, especially when it comes to acquiring land, resources, and wealth in the name of “spreading democracy.”
Given this shared history there is considerable strategic importance in “Native Studies” in Israel and North America. This topic area has attracted the attention of the proponents of competing schools of interpretation that go from the sublime scholarly contributions of Stephen Salaita to the ridiculous babblings of Ryan Bellerose who was briefly “the face” of B’nai Brith Canada. https://albertajewishnews.com/indigenous-activist-ryan-bellerose-new-face-bnai-brith-canada/ To add to the horror of the overall spectacle, a portion of humanity are openly cheering on with religious fervour the Israeli Defence Force and its US partners. The cheer leaders, including many millions of Christian Zionists, are instrumental proponents intent on lending support to this one-sided debacle of mass annihilation.
Netanyahu’s Machinations Are Coming Undone in the Midst of a Monumental Global Re-AlignmentThe psychopathic General in charge of the Gaza Holocaust is Benjamin Netanyahu, the recipient of an unprecedented series of standing ovations in the US Congress. The background and career of Benjamin Netanyahu, still Congress’s darling, personifies the merger of the political culture of Israel and United States as expressed now in the maniacal Zionist assault presently underway. Netanyahu received most of his education, including high school and university, in the United States. Much of Netanyahu’s career was consolidated in helping to fortify the expansionary policies of Israel by manufacturing and exploiting the public imagery of Islamic terrorism largely through the manipulation of Muslim mercenaries, patsies, and assets. This approach, aimed at bringing about major policy objectives by generating and harnessing the political currency of public fear and loathing, has resulted in many false flag events including those that took place on 9/11. Netanyahu’s manipulation and protection of the “Hamas terrorists” fit well into his many triumphs as the Napoleon of the Global War on Terror. But all Netanyahu’s chicanery is backfiring this time around. His mistakes, lies and reckless behaviour in helping to set up the events of October 7 are already coming to light. While Netanyahu is apparently the one giving the orders to carry out the slaughter of the besieged Palestinians, it is important to consider who is behind him and the possible makeup of the larger agenda at play here. According to Prof. Michel Chossudovsky and Ben Bartee, the US military establishment is “pulling the strings.” There is already a secret agreement in place reported to cover “the unconditional endorsement of the Israeli genocidal attack against Gaza by President Joe Biden.” The attack is meant to lead “to the annexation of all Palestine territories to the State of Israel.” This thesis is very much in line with the interpretation of economist Michael Hudson. https://www.unz.com/mhudson/why-does-the-us-support-israel/ Professor Chossudovsky presents an overview emphasizing the role of the United States in the behind-the scenes background of the Gaza assault carried out mostly with US weaponry. The assault involves the presence off the coast of the Eastern Mediterranean of a US naval armada. It involves the presence of US special forces that Chossudovsky indicates have joined IDF actions inside Gaza. Chossudovsky asserts.
According to the Chossudovsky, this US project of conquest has been premised on the strategy of marginalizing the indigenous leaderships of the Arab and Persian countries which, “share a common history.” Israel is the hub of the geopolitical control the US seeks to maintain and expand over the energy-rich region. The geopolitical control of Israel and the United States has been slipping away, however, in large measure because of Iran’s growing importance in regional and world affairs. Iran, the main country that carries into the modern world the heritage of Persia, is home to a highly educated population. Iranians are well aware that they have long been envisaged as primary targets of Israeli and US military aggression. In response, they have developed high-tech military defences specializing in missile technology which they have exported to Shiite allies in Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq. A huge exporter especially of natural gas, Iran compensated for the loss of some of its Western energy markets after its Islamic Revolution in 1979. The government sought new markets especially in China. In doing so Iran developed strong ties with China even as it increased its geopolitical cooperation with Russia. These alliances became increasingly important after the flare up of war between Russian and the US-led NATO with Ukraine as NATO’s proxy. Iran is clearly a regional superpower within Eurasia whose strategic centrality has been pointed out by many, including by Bernard Lewis’ protégé, Zbigniew Brzezinski with his influential book, The Grand Chessboard. Iran’s geostrategic advantages have become integral to China’s foreign policy and especially to its core project of creating a high-tech Road and Belt transportation network connecting Europe with the Far East and the Global South.
The strengthening alliance between Iran, Russia and China has in recent years taken on new strategic meaning in light of US attempts to conduct economic warfare on all three polities. This initiative backfired dramatically as the Russian economy actually expanded as a result of the ill-conceived financial recriminations conceived in Washington. Russia responded to economic “sanctions” by becoming more self-sufficient and courting alternative trade partners. Russia shifted its strategic orientations from the West to the East, including towards China. Many monumental alterations worldwide have been energized by these alterations. Beginning with Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, the BRICS alliance is becoming increasingly important with as an emerging locus of global power and influence. Many countries are lining up to join the organization, with Iran and Saudi Arabia at the front of the line. Iran and Saudi Arabia put aside their long standing antagonisms to join together in a reconciliation agreement brokered by the government of China. In bringing about this feat, China demonstrated its diplomatic acumen. The Chinese government thereby gained new standing in the global community. Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed a BRICs zoom meeting with a message while also addressing the Russian cabinet. President Putin said of what is going on in Gaza, “the death of thousands of people, the mass displacement of the civilian population and the humanitarian catastrophe that has erupted are cause for the deepest concern… When you watch how children are being operated on with no anesthesia – this of course arouses very special feelings.” In a prior video conference with his own cabinet Putin emphasized the importance of providing aid for the besieged Palestinian people. He said, “This is a very important, humanitarian, noble mission. We need to help people suffering as a result of the ongoing events. It is our sacred duty to help.” https://www.sott.net/article/486278-Putin-names-Russias-sacred-duty-in-Gaza All these developments make any US-Israel effort to target Iran much more problematic than was the case even a few years ago. This web of connections, with the bonds between China, Russia and Iran in the forefront, have grave implications for the possibility, or even the likelihood, that Israel’s genocidal incursions in Gaza and the West Bank will expand into a regional conflict. In fact this scenario is already developing in Syria, Lebanon and Yemin. The outcome of a regional war involving Iran seems to be the objective of Benjamin Netanyahu and his mostly Jewish neoconservative colleagues in the United States. Their clamouring for a war with Iran has long been rambunctious to say the least. In neoconservative and in some Zionist circles, the lust for some kind of World War targeting Russia, China and Iran seems especially zealous. Palestine, Israel, Global Banking, and Settler ColonialismZionism encompasses the primary network of power that has come to dominate the US government almost as much as the Israeli government. No upward mobility in the US government is allowed especially in foreign affairs, intelligence, national security, and the Pentagon without the approval of the Zionist operatives in charge of vetting those seeking to obtain or retain high office. The Zionist network brings together extremely wealthy Jews and their legions of non-Jewish collaborators sometimes referred to as ShabbasGoys. The agents of this alignment of power have come to infiltrate the upper echelons of decision-making in many polities throughout the world. Such Zionist infiltration forms an essential facet in the globalist assault on many institutions of national sovereignty. The only exception to the imposition of Zionist restrictions on national sovereignty is, of course, when it comes to the Jewish state of Israel. The Gaza Debacle is drawing increased scrutiny not only to the debased national identities of the invading countries, but also to the diabolical role of global Zionism and the various forms of supremacist subjugation to which it often gives rise. The authority of the Zionist cabal depends in large measure on the international banking regime’s system for apportioning assets and liabilities, proprietorships and debts. This system is founded on the transfer from government to private banks, of the power to create new money. Much of this new money is loaned back to governments with compound interest. This massively inequitable system, now overextended into the realm of deep lunacy and larceny, has for too long directed almost unimaginable wealth to a tiny minority. The fortunes of this minuscule group are based largely on the theft of life’s goodness from their debt slaves. This enslaved majority must not only pay back their own loans for housing, education and other necessities. They must also bear the tax burdens imposed by their own heavily indebted governments. Representatives of these governments irresponsibly signed away their peoples’ sovereign authority over monetary policy with the effect of enriching the few at the cost of the many.
This tiny enriched minority, including a vastly disproportionate number of Jews, is currently conspiring to expand their assets and control over their debt slaves through a foreboding banking reset. The financial reset is being driven by many of the same people behind the effort to kill off and finalize the dispossession of the indigenous Palestinians. This genocidal dispossession is happening just as a huge reserve of oil and gas just off the shoreline of the Gaza Strip is about to be exploited. https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-gas-oil-and-trouble-in-the-levant/5362955 This centralizing combination of globalist and imperialist trajectories is driven in large measure by Zionist networks of top-down control. This power dynamic is fast rubbing up against the priorities of the global majority whose leading lights still seek to realize the promise of decolonization. The formal processes of decolonization was overseen largely by the United Nations and it favoured banking cartels. This supposed decolonization was coopted, deformed and exploited by the leading kleptocrats embedded in the upper echelons of international banking. The regionalist facet of “multipolarism” has been claimed by some of the most aggressive globalists at the WEF and other branches of the worldwide multibillionaires’ club. In the face of this development, the concept of “multipolarism” has concurrently acquired a significant place in the discourse of naysayers opposing the repressive status quo. This informal alliance is sometimes known as “the resistance.” Multipolarism stands in contradistinction to the bipolarism of the Cold War and the unipolarism of the US superpower that briefly prevailed globally until the American Empire began to come unglued after the 9/11 sabotage. The invocation of a multipolar world is sometimes attached to the widespread quest for liberation from the constraints the of the bankers’ tyranny that has grown up around the status of the US dollar as the world’s primary currency for international transactions. This liberatory spin on “multipolarism” emerged especially from the analysis of Vladimir Putin, Alexander Dugin and other Russian officials during the course of their country’s war with NATO’s proxy, Ukraine.
As expressed in the creation of BRICS and other agencies, people and peoples especially in the Global South are seeking expanded means of regional and national self-determination. Obviously the prospect of humanity’s liberation from the existing regime of pervasive debt enslavement lies in creating a more enlightened approach to the process of creating and apportioning wealth. This consideration requires a move away from the strangle hold of kleptocratic banking backed up with the military strength of the US Armed Forces. Multipolarism has become a code to identify the strengthening alliance between Iran, Russia and China as well as the other BRICS countries, including India. This new alignment of governments and the peoples they represent, forms a major element in the global response to the hideous assault on the Palestinians. Many in the BRICS countries identify easily with the plight of the Palestinians because they draw on the experiences of their ancestors who knew very well what it means to be on the receiving end of European imperialism. After the Second World War, many of the leaders of decolonization sought independence in the Non-Aligned Movement. This organization was much demonized by the Cold War zealots in the United States. The so-call “neutralists” in the Movement confederated in order to provide some collective protection against the oppressive bipolarism of the Cold War. Those that took part in the Non-Aligned Movement resented being forced to chose between two competing imperial systems. They sought instead to express the independence of their nations by embracing their own indigenous identities. This Non-Aligned Movement was formed in Bandung Indonesia in 1955. The persistence of imperial rule continues to be very clear to those on the receiving end of the process. One foremost example of this persistence lies in the collaboration between the banking regime centred in the City of London and its Wall Street extensions that jointly direct the military-financial apparatus designed for plunder and coercive control of the world’s debt slaves.
Now more than ever, for much of the global population the current plight of the Palestinians represents the genocidal extremes that emerge from worst facets of settler colonialism. Support for the Palestinian freedom movement is thus an expression of the quest for liberation from the most recent incarnations of imperial oppression. The Importance of the of the Rothschild Family in Encouraging Christian Zionism and the Genesis of the Jewish State from the 1880s Until Current TimesThe importance of the disproportionately large Zionist and Jewish role in banking is illustrated by the continuing prominence of the far-flung Rothschild clan. The Rothschild banking dynasty, involving an intertwined complex of related interests, individuals, and families, has a history of exploiting their financial clout derived from usury, to purchase, and then exercise, great political influence. This process of exerting financial and political leverage in order to achieve pre-conceived geopolitical objectives was well expressed in the role of the French branch of the Rothschild family. Baron Edmond de Rothschild was instrumental in establishing in Palestine the foundations of Jewish settlement and organization. https://www.rothschildarchive.org/family/philanthropy/baron_edmond_de_rothschild_and_palestine It is no accident that the Balfour Declaration of 1917, advocating a national home for the Jews in Palestine, was addressed to Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron de Rothschild. Along with Chaim Weizmann, the Zionist point person in the international quest to bring about Jewish statehood, the Baron of Rothschild was the unofficial leader of the Zionist movement in Great Britain. Some members of the Rothschild dynasty have to this day perceived of the creation, consolidation and expansion of Israel as a key project in their financial and political enterprises. In the Rothschild Archives on the open Internet, an attempt is made to by the family to describe the role of their British friends and colleagues in establishing Israel. It is written
The authors describe the widespread effusion of Zionist enthusiasms in the British ruling class, where “Christian Zionism” was embraced by many
Lord Balfour expressed his view that the Zionist mission was of such significance that it trumped the interests of the Palestinian Arabs. He wrote in 1919
Memorandum to Lord Curzon, 11 August 1919, cited in https://www.un.org/unispal/history2/origins-and-evolution-of-the-palestine-problem/part-i-1917-1947/ The evidence is overwhelming that the project of exploiting financial clout to gain control of political processes is a key to the rise of Zionism in the process of creating and expanding the power and territory of Israel. This Zionist quest to achieve Greater Israel forms the essential driving force currently energizing the military campaign to eliminate those who best embody the remaining Palestinian hold on the Occupied Territories. These territories were conquered illegally by the IDF in the Six Day War of 1967. Gaza and the West Bank were part of the zone ear marked for the Arab state called for in the UN’s Resolution 181. The Al Aqsa Flood and the Religious Politics Behind the Zionist Drive to Raise the Third TempleOne of the most ambitious projects sought by Zionist planners pictures Jerusalem and the raising of a Third Jewish Temple on the present site of the Dome of the Rock. This iconographic Dome is integral to the architecture al-Aqsa mosque.
Some extreme Zionists imagine this Third Temple as a the replacement of the al-Aqsa mosque. The Third Temple is pictured as the core central point in the plan to make Jerusalem the new imperial capital for the entire world. For those who hold this conception, the Third Temple would be the site of some sort of world high court based on a modern-day adaptation of the Sanhedrin, an association of rabbinical jurists who exercised much power in the era of King Solomon’s Second Temple. The plan to replace the al-Aqsa mosque, which encompasses the Dome of the Rock, has explosive implications. The Dome of the Rock is the thousand-year-old structure that is the oldest in the Islamic world. The Rock under the Dome is where Prophet Muhammed is said to have communed with the spirits of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus before being transported to heaven. Many Islamic groups, including Hamas, have displayed uncompromising resistance to the assertion of Israeli jurisdiction over the site of the large compound of the al-Aqsa mosque. The mosque itself is built around the Dome of the Rock.
This attempt to assert exclusive Israeli jurisdiction in Jerusalem runs not only against the will of many in the Muslim world. It also violates the UN’s Resolution 181 that in 1947 called for the creation in Palestine of two new states. Resolution 181 also called for the establishment of United Nations jurisdiction over Jerusalem. Jerusalem was to be a city governed by the UN to protect the harmonious relations between the custodians of the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The disastrous consequences of the failure to enforce this aspect of Resolution 181 are very obvious to those paying attention. It is no secret that this assertion of Israeli jurisdiction over the al-Aqsa mosque site points ominously towards its malevolent destruction in preparation for the raising of a Third Jewish Temple. The Second Temple was obliterated in 70 AD by Roman soldiers. The most zealous effort yet aimed at dismantling al-Aqsa is led by Netanyahu’s Minister of National Security, the fascistic Jewish Supremacist, Itamar Ben-Gvir. The importance of the al-Aqsa/Third Temple controversy is marked by the Hamas’ description of its now-legendary prison break from Gaza on October 7 as the al-Aqsa Flood, a product of the al-Aqsa Storm. Who Had Prior Knowledge of the Events of October 7 and What Are the Politics of Hamas Taking CaptivesAs in the US Indian wars, the Gaza Massacre is being pushed ahead by the invaders as if their murderous aggressions are absolutely exempt from any legal accountability, let alone ethical responsibility. The protagonists seem to derive forms of especially sadistic pleasure from engaging in terrible atrocities in the clear light of day and realizing that nobody is willing to stop them. They can look down at the rest of the world from their high place of unaccountable violence. They can think there is no doubt they are truly above the law. Will that hypothesis prove correct? How far can they go before meeting any obstructions or resistance to their unrestrained inhumanity, equipped as they are with some of the most high-tech killing devices on earth. As for cynically misrepresenting medical centres as military installations, international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, have from their inception made a priority of creating prohibitions on attacking hospitals especially in times of war. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(16)00070-X/fulltext What is it about this ghoulish display of hatred towards the Palestinian captives in Gaza, as if these so-called “human animals” are expendable specimens in a perverse zoo of Israeli depravity? What is giving the aggressors such an amplified sense of triumphant self-worth by expressing their capacity to wantonly slaughter their targeted population, however and whenever they want. The aggressive warfare pushed against mostly unarmed civilians is based on nothing more than a dubious and still formally un-investigated interpretation of the contested events surrounding the Gaza prison break of October 7. Beginning on October 7, many Israeli observers, often veterans of the IDF, pointed to the impossibility of a Palestinian group even approaching, let alone breaking through, the Gaza prison walls at many points. The Gaza walls are at the core of an elaborate and closely monitored complex of warning devices. These devices are meant to trigger automatically alarms together with immediate military responses if any unplanned motion around the fences is detected. Any claim that the fiasco was due to “intelligence failures” alone is simply not credible. Indeed any such claim should arouse more suspicion that some kind of cover up is underway, as it almost certainly is. I discussed these matters in an essay published on Oct. 8. In it I identified credible voices who already expressed the view that the Gaza prison break of the Hamas fighters, known as the Qassam Brigades, could not have happened without some sort of complicity on the part of Israeli authorities who held back military responses for several hours. One of those authorities would have had to have been Benjamin Netanyahu himself. The official narrative of October 7 showed more sign of coming apart on November 8 when allegations arose on social media that the Associated Press, CNN, Reuters, New York Times and freelance photographers in Gaza “knew in advance of the October 7 Palestinian Resistance counter-offensive and even collaborated with Hamas in order be on location to get their shots during the operation.” While this interpretation is highly speculative and unproven at this point, it does suggest something is not right. Where there is smoke, there frequently is fire. Rather than ignoring this story or making light of it, the Israeli government did the opposite. Danny Danon, Israel’s Representative to the United Nations, basically condemned to death those who sought to take advantage of the prior knowledge by being at the right place at the right time to take pictures. If the journalists had prior knowledge, then who else did? Are factions on the Israeli government covering up the story by murdering, or threatening to murder, those who know too much?
Is Danny Danon promising to murder those that may have exploited prior knowledge of the events of October 7? Or is his message rather a threat aimed at those who did have prior knowledge? Is he saying that they will be killed if they even whisper another word about their prior knowledge? If they don’t say anything but did have prior knowledge, aren’t they also implicating the media venues for which they work? An expert at manipulating the imagery of Islamic terrorism to achieve political objectives that would otherwise be unattainable (as in 9/11), Netanyahu has a history of trying to manipulate Hamas.
Netanyahu has exploited this skill especially in his quest to avoid being forced into any two state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian impasse. Because of the Israeli response to the events of October 7, the whole concept of revisiting the main unfulfilled facet of UN Resolution 181, namely the failure to establish a new Arab state side by side with Israel, is being brought forward including by China. The more the Israeli government tries to block this outcome, the more it calls into question its own legitimacy as a violator of the main international instrument on which the Jewish state now stands. Since October 7, many other whistle blowers and researchers have come forward with substantial evidence that there are all kinds of problems with the Israeli government’s official narrative. There are problems not only in the story of October 7, but in accounts of the genocidal campaign which followed and, it seems now on November 30, will be renewed once the ceasefire is over.
Clearly on October 7 Hamas fighters did kill some Israeli civilians, but not to the extent originally claimed. Many of the most horrific reported atrocities, like brutal rapes or beheading babies and putting one of them in an oven to be cooked, have been shown to be false. The concocted imagery of Palestinians on a wild killing spree for its own sake does not conform with the existing evidence of the Qassam Brigade fighters acting in accord with a well orchestrated military plan. The fake but widely reported story of the 40 beheaded Israeli babies has become an especially telling example of the many media deceptions concerning the actions of the Qassam Brigades. Presumably not all Palestinians that escaped the Gaza Prison were Hamas soldiers. If some violent acts were done by Palestinian individuals acting in their own private capacity outside the Hamas chain of command, the nature of such crimes need to be interpreted through that lens. https://www.globalresearch.ca/october-7-hamas-assault-israel/5840022 https://www.globalresearch.ca/what-really-happened-october-7/5837833 Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal is a calm voice of reason in a maelstrom of overheated rhetoric. In an interview with Chris Hedges, Blumenthal explained that the primary strategy of Hamas was to take captives, but especially IDF soldiers if possible. The strategic advantage Hamas could only be obtained by keeping Israelis alive so they could be taken back to Gaza and used as objects of negotiation. The possibilities of starting negotiations with an exchange of captives for Palestinian prisoners held in in Israeli jails has already come to pass. Where might this process lead? Recent events in Gaza and Israel have illustrated for much of the global community the perilous implications for world stability of leaving the Israeli/Palestinian impasse largely unaddressed and certainly unresolved. Hence the Hamas strategy of seizing hostages in the face of many decades of Israeli intransigence has been vindicated by developments on the ground. What alternatives were left to the leadership of the Palestinian people short of utter submission to an uncompromising genre of Zionist supremacism? Blumenthal goes into detail, explaining that many of the murders attributed to Hamas were in fact committed by the IDF. This phenomenon is apparently connected to what some have identified as the on-again-off-again Hannibal Doctrine. Its purpose is to prevent any Israeli hostages, but especially military personnel, from falling into Palestinian hands. The aim is to avoid giving Palestinian organizations some power to bargain and negotiate with their oppressors. IDF pilots have given testimony explaining how they blew up homes and military institutions where Hamas fighters were holding captives. The result was the IDF’s killing of many Israelis along with Palestinians. Many of these deaths stemmed from the assault of Apache helicopters, of course supplied to Israel by the US government. These Apaches fired Hellfire missiles. The Apaches also sprayed crowds of people composed of both Israelis and Palestinians, with barrages of bullets. For instance, the youths attending Nova Electronic Music Party were killed by both Hamas fighters and projectiles from Apache helicopters. IDF Hellfire missiles seem to have caused the burning out of many of the frequently-photographed vehicles around the music festival. According to Blumenthal, public opinion has hardened due to the reception of mixtures of outright lies with true and partially true accounts of violent episodes. According to Blumenthal, “the propaganda became so extreme and lurid” that the Israeli public has been “whipped up into such a fervour that they would not stand for any negotiations with Hamas.” It turned out that this assessment was an overstatement. Events after he spoke with Chris Hedges have proven this aspect of Blumenthal’s testimony was wrong. As Blumenthal sees it, “Israeli society is primed for genocide.” A disastrous consensus seems to be emerging that the process of initiating a war on the Palestinians in 1948 should be brought to its conclusion by “finishing the job.” What the protagonists have done, the researcher argues,
Blumenthal concludes with a reminder that the US government gave all of Israel’s actions against the Palestinians, logistical support as well as the “green light” of consent. The United States, therefore, is equally culpable with the government of Israel for the very clear case of genocide in Gaza. Let It Happen or Make It Happen?There are many facets of the obfuscation and uncertainty surrounding the events of October 7 that are quite similar to those permeating the events of 9/11. As with 9/11, the uncertainties involving the real story of October 7 provided no hindrance to immediately setting in motion a ruthless campaign of lethal military attacks on an entrapped and mostly defenceless civilian population. After September 11, 2001, US troops were invading Afghanistan with boots on the ground within a matter of a few days. In the cases generated by the way the events of October 7 and 9/11 were reported with contrived propaganda on steroids, both the US and Israeli governments immediately engaged in drastic actions without any formal investigation whatsoever. Thus the course of history was altered in ways that advanced the pre-existing agendas of the very powerful individuals, groups and interests claiming victimhood status. The propensity in such cases show very clear signs of deception from within. The gutter press— aka the legacy media— goes to work on fraud-infested trials by media, pre-empting any objective assessment by third-party adjudicators. As with 9/11, the investigations into the events of October 7 that may eventually take place will most likely prove to be nothing than a power-serving ritual. Most likely the process will end, if it takes place at all, with a conclusion that all the internal contractions between the official narrative and the evidence can be explained away with the turn of a simple phrase—“intelligence failure.” https://www.rt.com/news/587919-israeli-intelligence-hamas-attack/ Many reason that, at the very least, the actual evidence rather than the language of media spin points to the conclusion that key branches of the Israeli government, adopted a “let it happen” approach. Some go further. They see indications that a “make it happen” scenario is underway. Based on a survey of the existing evidence, Prof. Chossudovsky arrived at the following conclusion on Oct. 13,
https://www.globalresearch.ca/speculation-mark-hamas-attack-allowed-close-book-palestine/5836029 Controlling the Narrative; Deceiving the PublicIn mounting the Iron Swords military campaign of collective punishment against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, Netanyahu has acknowledged that there are many aspects of the events of October 7 which rightfully arouse suspicions that should be investigated. He indicated that an Israeli investigation, one that should include his own testimony, will have to take place at some unspecified time in the future. So an increasingly familiar pattern is re-enacted: act first, pretend to figure out what really happened later. Almost inevitably in a sensitive case like this one, the most probable judgment will evade the main issues by declaring an “intelligence failure.” Nobody, except possibly some sacrificial patsy far down the chain of command, will be blamed and held to account. When seen in the light of recent history, Netanyahu’s possible willingness to sacrifice the lives of his own Israeli citizens in order to advance his personal political goals as well as those of the lobbies he serves, is far from surprising. As with the 9/11 Deception, Netanyahu was an integral figure in the manufactured COVID crisis. This invented pandemic kicked off an expanding sequence of murder and mayhem that continues to mushroom in ways that serve a very sinister global power grab. The enormous but still-largely-uninvestigated dimensions of the invented worldwide pandemic, creates the context for the accelerating campaign of depopulation, economic sabotage, and enfeeblement including through war and genocide. A horrific precedent was set by the propensity of many governments to force on their citizens a mandatory injected bioweapon that killed and injured a significant portion of the recipients without any identifiable benefits whatsoever. https://www.globalresearch.ca/there-never-was-a-virus-there-never-was-a-pandemic/5841105 Gradually the concept of shrinking the global population through lethal interventions on the part of state agencies, is coming to seem acceptable to some. As I wrote in a prior Substack blog, a “death cult” is developing in popular culture. This development is reflected, perhaps, in the ready embrace, especially by some Jews and large masses of Christian Zionists, of the cold blooded mass murder of Palestinian People
This worldwide pattern was especially marked in Israel where Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed in a contract with Pfizer Corp. to transform his population into test tube specimens for numerous unregulated experiments on human subjects in ways that are outlawed by the Nuremberg Code. The failure of Israeli officials to pay heed to the main international instrument laying out explicit legal requirement for experiments on human subjects, is even more shocking than the same neglect demonstrated by most medical professionals worldwide. If even officials in the Jewish state of Israel could be so flippant about disregarding the applicability of the Nuremberg Code, what does it say about their attitude towards the genocidal events said to give rise to the Nuremberg proceedings including the famous Doctors’ Trial. As in many countries, large numbers of Israelis met and continue to meet premature deaths and illnesses as a results of the mass injections done by the Netanyahu government in a unique partnership with the criminal corporation, Pfizer. The obstacles are usually daunting when it comes to investigating the crimes overseen by certain people when those same people control the mechanisms of criminal investigations, prosecutions and trials. The same conundrums are especially pertinent when it comes to the international crime of genocide. Most often, the implementation of genocide is directed by powerful groups with much capacity in their home governments to limit investigations and prosecutions of crimes involving circumstances in which they are implicated. The same is true when it comes to investigating the possible October 7 crimes perpetrated in high places. What can be expected from investigators when those doing the investigation are themselves deeply implicated in the wrongdoing they are investigating? The conflict of interest inherent in such cases is enormous. The remedy is supposed to be international criminal law conducted in courts not subject to the direct control of the nation states and those that dominate them The United Nations’ Genocide Convention was supposed to set precedents for the broader enforcement of international criminal law. As indicated by the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility,
https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide-convention.shtml But where is there any sign of even of the existence of a UN Office for the Prevention of Genocide, let alone a willingness on the part of its members to take action during this unprecedented moment? Where are these so-called genocide preventers hiding? Why even have such an Office or, for that matter, have the UN itself, given the degraded nature of the institution? Why is there so much difference between the zeal of the UN in 2020 to lock down our economies globally in the name of fighting COVID and then to disregard the Israeli-US genocide being pressed forward in Gaza? Billions of people around the world are being shown in living colour on their devices, the mechanics of industrial-scale mass murder. The undeniable evidence has been right in our faces day after day for many weeks. Officials in Israel are actually openly boasting about their present and future acumen as expert genocidaires. The pictures of mass murder on our devices come complete with the most detailed coverage ever presented on a particularly obscene instance of genocide. It is true that much of the coverage is very biased, but not all of it. However much of the most authentic coverage from reliable sources is coming at a very high cost. According to Nasser Abu Bakr, head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, his colleagues are being targeted for assassination one-by-one in rapid succession by the Israeli government. He indicates, “our journalists have always been a target for the Israeli military, but Israel moved from killing [an average of] one Palestinian journalist a year before October 7 to killing over one a day.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-assassinating-journalists-gaza/5841066 It seems Aljazeera, the site of much deep and important coverage of the Gaza Massacre, has become a particular target of the IDF’s strategy of information management through targeted murder of journalists. The home of Aljazeera’s Gaza Bureau, Wael Al-Dahdouh, was hit with a targeted Israeli bomb. Al-Dahdouh’s wife, son, daughter and grandson were killed. Christiane Amanpour highlighted the extent of the violent reprisal imposed on her Aljazeera colleague. She continues by broadcasting an alert calling attention to the lethal perils visited on too many journalists covering the Israeli assault on Palestinians.  One such peril was manifest in the bombing attack in 2021 on the Gaza offices of Aljazeera and the Associated Press during one of the Israeli government’s periodic invasions which are frequently described in Israel as “mowing the grass.” The next year, 2022, saw an IDF member purposely shoot and kill Shireen Abu Akleh when she was doing her journalistic duty covering an Israel military unit on a mission in Jenin on the West Bank. Abu Akleh was the pioneer of an intimate style of broadcasting that continues to animate much of Aljazeer’s coverage. An Almost Perfect Case to Prosecute Violators of the Genocide Convention and to Enforce Appropriate Punishments on Convicted Culprits?The former UK Ambassador and renowned human rights activist, Craig Murray, is helping give form to a movement that seeks to place the UN’s Genocide Convention in the mix of possible remedies to be applied in coming to some reckoning with the overlap that imposes Israel over Palestine. Significantly, at this moment the population sizes of both groups are equal, about 7 million on each side. Murray writes
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/11/activating-the-genocide-convention/ Even the Children’s Choir singing an ode to the Israeli intent to “annihilate” Palestinian “swastika-bearers,” adds to the weight of evidence that the goal of Operation Iron Swords is to not to “defeat Hamas” but to press full-fledged genocide on the targeted population. Often in the course of genocide proceedings, the hardest thing to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, is the element of intent. What were the intentions of the accused in taking action? In this case the issue of the intention of the perpetrators is pretty much already a settled question. The larger question, however, remains. What are the major powers prepared to do about this genocide happening in Gaza and the West Bank? Will the powers of the UN Office of Genocide Prevention be set in motion by UN members pushing the system into operational mode? What precisely is genocide and where did the word and the conceptions it invokes come from?The term genocide was invented at the end of WWII by lawyer Raphael Lemkin. A Polish Jew, Lemkin had observed close up in Europe the behaviour of the German government until 1941. Lemkin studied particularly the actions of German social engineers that worked, he said, on building up kindred Germanic groups and stifling the viability of unfavoured groups especially in Eastern Europe. Lemkin seemed drawn especially to the investigation of an array of tactics often involving repressions of unwanted cultures through means like the closing down of national theatres, museums, archives, libraries and schools. The circumstances, Lemkin decided, required the introduction of some new legal terminology. At the core of his new lexicon was the term “genocide.” He introduced the term in 1944 in his new book, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. https://academic.oup.com/ahr/article-abstract/51/1/117/101266 In 1941 Lemkin escaped Europe to travel via the Pacific Ocean to New York. There he found powerful patrons, probably Zionists, able to create a comfortable place for him in the technocracy of the newly-created United Nations. In that capacity Lemkin worked with officials from a number of UN member states to come up with a new Convention on the Prevention and Prohibition of Genocide. The Convention that was ratified in the UN General Assembly in 1948. It was streamlined down from Lemkin’s original conception. The government of countries like Canada that were peopled largely by immigrants and their descendants who had overwhelmed the Indigenous peoples, tried to whittle down the definition of genocide. They did not want find themselves in international court defending themselves from allegations that their countries had committed the international crime of genocide. Many Indigenous peoples around the world would in the years to come seize on the Genocide Convention as a means of attempting some reckoning with their history of subjugation and dispossession. What makes the case of the indigenous Palestinians particularly compelling, however, is that they are presently facing the most violent and concerted military assault in history to remove a large Native society from their ancestral lands. The current genocidal onslaught makes the Palestinians generally, not just Hamas, the collective targets of modern-day genocidal campaign initiated and continued by the government of Israel without respite since 1948. https://www.mqup.ca/earth-into-property-products-9780773531222.php The United States held back from joining the Genocide Convention until 1988. The US government waited until the Cold War was winding down to make this move. Generally speaking, the US government has held back from subjugating their country to all forms of UN jurisdiction until the Biden administration embraced the WHO’s fabrications as an integral part to the manufactured COVID crisis. Section 2 of the Convention says,
Many experts in law and other fields agree that military campaign that the Israeli government with US backing has initiated in Gaza after October 7, fits to a tee every definition of genocide in the Genocide Convention except item (e). https://opiniojuris.org/2023/10/18/public-statement-scholars-warn-of-potential-genocide-in-gaza/ Two Articles of the Genocide Convention following Article II are especially interesting. These articles have large implications for the present fiasco wherein so many governments and corporations have lined up as Israel’s backers, suppliers, spin doctors, publicists and such. How many of them are “complicit” with genocide? Article III If there was to be a formal allegation of genocide coming from even one ICJ member country, the process of arbitration would be shared by two courts, both based in the Hague. One is the International Court of Justice and the other is the International Criminal Court. The job of the ICJ would be to decide if genocide was, or is, taking place and the ICC would decide what governments, institutions and individuals would be charged. With the experience of a seasoned British diplomat behind him, Craig Murray describes the implications of what would follow from the ICJ’s determination of guilt, a ruling he finds quite likely under this particular set of circumstances. His well considered assessment is worthy of a lengthy citation. He writes,
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/11/activating-the-genocide-convention/ Why is it that none of the states that are members of the ICJ and the UN have not yet come forward to make the complaint that genocide is taking place in Gaza and the West Bank? Why do not, say, the government of Iran or Russia or South Africa or Bolivia or Jordan or Qatar or Venezuela or some combination, step up to the witness stand to officially articulate the obvious? One of the 149 “states” with standing at the ICJ and at the UN to make the accusation of genocide, is Palestine. As it presently stands, that complaint would have to come not from Hamas but from the leader of the Palestinian Authority, a secular organization that does not share the Islamic personality of Hamas. Mahmoud Abbas is the leader of the Palestinian Authority. Abbas used to be known as Abu Mezan. Apparently under pressure from the United States, Yasser Arafat appointed Abbas to take over Fatah which joined the PLO after the Six Day War in 1967.
Of the longtime leader of the Palestinian Authority, Murray writes, “Abbas seems extraordinarily passive, and the suspicion that he is more concerned with refighting the Palestinian civil war than with resisting the genocide is impossible to shake. By invoking the Genocide Convention he could put himself and Fatah back at the centre of the narrative. But he does nothing.” https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/11/activating-the-genocide-convention/ Abbas seems to be some sort of personification of the colonialism’s comprador class. Members of this collaborator class derive wealth along with some infamy from assisting the ruling group to impose its will on subject people. This role is associated with many stigmatizing terms such as Uncle Toms, double agents, Malinches, or quislings. One website known as “Sins of the Palestinian Authority” asserts, “The Palestinian Authority today has the largest per-capita police force in the world. And yet, it uses this force to safeguard Israel’s security instead of safeguarding the Palestinian resistance to Israel’s apartheid and occupation.” It seems this problem with Abbas and the Palestinian organization he supposedly runs poses a definite problem that the Palestinian people who will have to work out for themselves if they are to seize the moment and elevate the possibility of future negotiations beyond an opening round of exchanging hostages for prisoners. Only Victors’ JusticeCraig Murray makes it seem that the the system of international law, but especially the ICJ, is viable. I for one would like to share his optimism tempered with a smidgeon of pragmatic realism. That pragmatism motivates me to point out that the system of international criminal law has not to this day ever significantly transcended a pattern where it is only those on the defeated side of international conflicts that face serious prosecutions and trials. The pattern is very clear with the legal procedures imposed on the defeated side in the tribunals created at Nuremberg and at Tokyo after the Second World War. The crimes never came up of those who fire bombed Dresden, carpet bombed Tokyo, starved hundreds of thousands of German prisoners of war after WWII, or nuked Hiroshima or Nagasaki. This list is far from complete. This same pattern was on ostentatious display with the trials of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein or Serbia’s Slobodan Milošević. Those that violate international laws such as the Genocide Convention on the winning side have enjoyed pretty much blanket impunity from all prosecution. The fact remains that the world’s dominant controllers seem to maintain an almost absolute capacity to violate domestic and international law with impunity. Alternatively the lawless predator class at the top, regularly deploys its capacity to declare its opponents— whether, for instance, Truckers or Palestinians or January 6 protestors at the US Capitol— as a criminal classes whose member are essentially guilty until proven innocent. These observations make it hard to see the chimera of a rule of law equally applied and uniformly enforced, as the basis for anything other than cynical fiction meant to fool the gullible. The apparent confidence so far of the Israeli and US aggressors responsible for the mass murder and destruction in Gaza, stands as a dramatic indicator of this reality. On the other hand, significant portions of the human family can readily perceive that this reality must change substantially if civilization and even all life on earth is to be held back from bring of catastrophic ruin. Have the time and circumstances for this kind of momentous change finally arrived? Can more of us join forces to leave the spectators’ chairs and get on the field to make life-affirming changes in the making of history? When have those high up in the military chain of the United States and Israel ever faced international criminal proceedings— that is trials, verdicts, and enforced punishments—- for any of their own transgression? Such cases must exist here and there but I can’t think of any right now. Sometimes there are isolated reports of prosecutions but then the stories seem to go nowhere, without any confirmation that laws of international crime have been adhered to outside the limitations of victors’ justice. Crimes Against Humanity and Altering the Human Genome: Can We Free Reiner Fuellmich So He Can Resume His Vital Role as Chief Prosecutor of the Covidian MafiaThis failure of law enforcement at the highest levels is extremely pressing when it comes to enforcing legal accountability for the crimes imposed on a significant proportion of the global population in the name of fighting COVID 19. The mandatory enforcement in country after country of the nonsensical lockdowns of even healthy people created monument economic disaster exploited to float many basic alterations in our governing systems. Are those alterations a factor in the genocidal frenzy on public display in Gaza? Are Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and Itamar Ben-Gvir injection injured? The fake plague was used to set the stage for forced injections and medical apartheid advertised as the entry points to a “Great Reset.” What has been so great about this fiasco so far? Where are the investigations of this scam packed from bow to stern with criminality? Who are the credibly accused? Where are the criminal charges? Why do law enforcement agencies so often set themselves up as obstacles rather than as agents in enforcing the law on the criminal beneficiaries of the COVID scam. The dissemination of gene-modifying bioweapons pretending to be a cure for a new coronavirus that was not new at all, has killed and injured many thousands of times more people than all the carpet bombing of Gaza so far and all the future carpet bombing promised by the Israeli government after the conclusion of the ceasefire initiated on November 25. Where are the investigations? Where are the criminal proceedings to look into the well-documented allegations I am making here in concert with millions of other whistle blowers and researchers. We are backed up by enormous accumulations of evidence organized in local, regional and global frameworks. Why is all the onus on we the people to bring forwards the complaints and the evidence. Where are there law enforcement agencies willing to independently do their job by identifying, prosecuting and enforcing the highest order of criminal law? One of the leading researchers and jurists involved in investigating, interpreting, and litigating the COVID crimes is Reiner Fuellmich. Fuellmich’s very public investigations along with his gifted colleagues can be conceived as the lead case for the prosecution in seeking legal accountability from the judicial custodians of international criminal law. The case developed by Fuellmich et. al. was put before the notoriously politicized officials at the International Criminal Court. Craig Murray identifies the ICC as a “western government puppet institution” that will “wiggle out” of the cases its corrupt political masters do not want litigated. The ICC robotically refused all cases accusing many officials of wrongdoing in the COVID fiasco. Anthony Fauci is still walking free. What does it take to get beyond the racketeers who put the most monstrous crimes and criminals behind the shields of mob protection? Fuellmich responded to the slammed door of the ICC by mounting what he referred to as a “Grand Jury Proceeding by the Peoples’ Court of Public Opinion, an international natural law court.” When officialdom won’t do it, when must the we the people act on our own to resuscitate the rule of law? Not only did the case of Fuellmich and the International Crimes Investigative Committee not make it into the ICC, but the jurist was arrested in early October in the German Embassy in Mexico. He was then transported to face jail time in Germany on charges that kept him away from pursuing criminal prosecutions flowing from the COVID debacle. The political implications of this attempt to discourage the thousands of jurists engaged in domestic and transnational processes that Fuellmich has been leading, were outlined by scholar and presidential candidate Emanuel Pastreich. He wrote wrote,
https://www.koreaittimes.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=125922 As Fuellmich’s case demonstrates, the cost is often high to try to set in motion the operation the rule of law when the outcomes might menace the interests of dominant cartels.
Can the system as it is, really be made to work in favour of the underdog? The story of the noble whistle blower may be a common one in popular fantasy often exploited by Hollywood. But in the real world, its a very rare thing for whistle blowers to successfully take on the top levels of organized crime in the very institutions they mostly control. The culprits pretend that those such as Reiner Fuellmich who have been diligently studying the extent and character of the harm done— harm that is apparently still in its early stages— are wonky and delusional and deserve to be put in jail. Free Reiner Fuellmich! In contemplating some exit from the current madness through a resort to a legal system that has been failing us at nearly every turn, we need to contemplate bringing the instruments of law into line with various forms of crime that are new to humanity. From 1944 to 1948 Raphael Lemkin went from introducing in a book a new legal term, “genocide,” to using the word as the basis for a new instrument of international criminal law ratified by a majority in the UN General Assembly. Are the time and circumstances right for a new version of that process? I think, for instance, we need to develop new name to describe the new forms of crime. One such crime would involve the harm done by those that use mass injections to change the genome governing the common genetic makeup of the entire human species. In all likelihood this crime has already occurred with unpredictable consequences. The human species is no longer genetically the same as we were during all the generations that came before before us. And right now there is nothing to guard against more and more alterations of the human genome all with totally unpredictable outcomes. Humanity isn’t a toy on which to play Russian Roulette. Sometimes the word “genocide” is used to describe this attack on the human genome. In my opinion my opinion, however, this characterization is far from accurate. It does not explain the full extent of the crime, one very unlike anything Lemkin had in mind when he came up with the word, genocide. The genetic attack is not directed at parts of humanity but at all of humanity. The genetic attack takes to a new level the concept of violating bodily autonomy. In an era when we are already making genetically-modified people, re-engineered to be attached through AI to the Internet, we need major processes of public education to explain to we the people what is already being done to us and what er can expect in our engineered bio-digital futures. We the people have an inherent right to a say in the modification of our own bodies. Many nameless crimes are taking place that are unmonitored, unregulated and vast in their consequences for the future of all humankind. Stopping the enormity of the crime spree underway is a necessity if the survivors of the murderous depopulation initiatives we are presently living through have a chance of holding our posterity back from falling into absolutely nightmarish forms of digitalized enslavement. Making any headway on these fronts will require strident interventions into the operations of existing institutions. Ideally these interventions will result in energizing public movements that will facilitate transfers of power away from those who situate themselves above the law. Such power should go the those living within the law and especially the “natural law” to which Reiner Fuellmich refers. If the police agencies refuse to enforce laws on those that conduct themselves as if they are above the law, then perhaps new ways will have to be found in order to discipline those who betray civil society by failing to do the job of genuine law enforcement. Given the radical nature of the impositions on our lives especially since 2020, the time has come for those who can, to make our grievances and expectations explicit in ways that may not always be polite. “Arrest George Bush, Not Me,” Splitting The Sky Intervenes in the Quest to Uphold the Rule of LawI’ll end with a few brief comments on the late Dacajeweiah, the Mohawk term for Splitting The Sky. In my next contribution I intend to say more about him and his interventions to create momentum for the kind of changes needed now more than ever, the kind of changes already discussed in this essay. Splitting The Sky’s life changed dramatically when he was charged in 1971 for killing a police guard during the Attica prison uprising. To this day, “Attica” identifies the most well known crisis in the history of the US penal system.
After spending many years in jail, Splitting The Sky (STS) was released. He attributed his free status largely to the lawyering of his friend, Ramsay Clark, a former US Attorney General who came into politics along with the ascent of John and Bobby Kennedy. STS came to Lethbridge to meet with me and we established a collaboration that included my occasional request for him to lecture to my students.
In 2009 STS contacted me to indicate that George W. Bush was coming to nearby Calgary to give his first speech as a private citizen after serving for two terms as President of the United States. In making preparations, both of us were drawn to a pre-existing movement trying to get Bush arrested for war crimes involving atrocities that he had ordered especially in Iraq. The calculation was that Bush was most vulnerable to slipping under the authority of international criminal law when he was outside the United States. When Bush made his plan to come to the Canadian province that is sometimes called Texas North, STS and I provided evidence to local police authorities calling on them to arrest the “credibly accused” war criminal. We consulted with Ramsay Clark, for a time the Chief Law Officer in the United States, to advise us about how a citizen’s arrest might work if Canadian police failed to act on our request. Here is a video of STS’s attempt to conduct a “citizen’s arrest.” This feature of law gives an an opening to citizens to deputize themselves when law enforcement agencies and agents who refuse to do their job, thereby creating significant hazards for the public from dangerous criminals on the lose.
