Excerpts:
I think there is a new wave of outraged skepticism building now (about MSM coverage of Occupied Palestine) very much like after 9-11 with the 9-11 Truth Movement. And at that time, it was driven by the—at that point—free, uncensored internet. You mentioned social media, but actually social media has made things worse. Prior to the rise of social media the way the internet worked was essentially people linked each other’s websites and so it was all a matter of you know finding your way from link to link, website to website, and nobody was filtering it. And also people were emailing each other sources. Then the search engines came along. The search engines would just show you largely what was popular, so whatever people were looking at was what you would get on the search engines.
Once the truth movement really started rolling by maybe 2004 or 2005 and especially 2006, whatever you were Googling about 9-11, the first thing you were going to see was pro-9-11 truth material, because that’s what people were interested in. And that worried the powers that be.
Cass Sunstein, who was essentially the Minister of Information for the Obama administration, wrote an article for the Harvard Law Review in I think 2008. It was published as a book in 2010 called Conspiracy Theories, Causes and Cures. And in that book, Obama’s information czar said that conspiracy theories, starting with 9-11 conspiracy theories, are so dangerous that someday it might be necessary to make them illegal. But in the meantime, what the government needed to do to get a handle on them was to perform “cognitive infiltration.”
What that really meant, of course, was to infiltrate and to spread nonsense, spread crazy conspiracy theories, make sure that everybody interested in 9-11 truth sees lots of flat earth stuff on their feeds. And that wasn’t very easy to do in 2008 or 2010. But as social media took over, and the powers that be got their hands on the levers of the social media feeds… The thing about social media is that on Facebook you’re allowing the Zionist Mark Zuckerberg to determine what you see. On Twitter you’re allowing Elon Musk to determine what you see. Maybe he has a slightly looser policy
And in all of these cases you’re allowing to some extent the US government to determine what you see. We’ve seen the the tip of the iceberg with the twitter files and related material. So the rise of social media actually didn’t help.
Now they make sure that you you’ll never find the 9-11 material that used to be so easy to find. I used to be able to just find my own references, stuff I had done, on Google. Now finding myself on Google is very difficult, even though I’ve got one post with five million views, but I’m totally shadowbanned from Google and from essentially everyplace else. And so are a lot of other people with my kinds of views.
The point being that 9-11 truth spread because there was a free internet at that time. Today TikTok is the big driver of the truth about the genocide of Gaza, and that’s why the majority of 18 to 24 year old Americans support the Palestinian resistance, which is a shocking amazing and wonderful statistic. And that’s being driven primarily by TikTok which does not impose Zionist censorship and shadow banning and algorithm tweaking. All the American sites do. They can’t keep a complete lid on truthful information about Gaza but they can spin the whole conversation in such a way that it covers up the the depth of (Zionist) depravity.
The hasbara trolls don’t rule TikTok and the reason for that is that they’re only so prominent on these other platforms because the owners of the platforms make sure that they are. If you have a platform that doesn’t give the hasbara trolls special privileges, then they shrink down to the actual percentage of real human beings that support that line, which is very, very small.
(When a psychopath goes to court) the non-psychopath that they’re up against stays within a reasonable distance of the truth when they testify. So the judge tends to split the difference. The judge doesn’t realize that what we have here is a total psychopathic pathological liar versus a (more or less) truth teller, so the judge splits the difference and says: well the psychopath says it says it’s 10 billion dollars and the truth teller says it’s a hundred dollars, so the reality must be like five billion dollars, so i’m gonna give the psychopath five billion dollars. That’s kind of how it works with the Zionists. They have managed to they lie so outrageously that a lot of average Americans hear the Palestinian case which is basically truthful, and they hear the Zionist case, which is an outrageous fantasy of lies, and they think, well the truth must be sort of in between. They must have a lot of right on both sides.
They’re artists in deflection as well they’ll admit nothing they will deny everything and they will deflect constantly like if you have a certain valid criticism valid criticism that can be valid for every single political entity on earth for every politician every prime minister every country all of a sudden when it comes to Israel it’s anti-semitic why is it anti-semitic hold on a second if I criticize Saudi Arabia am I criticizing Islam? If I’m criticizing Turkey, am I criticizing Islam? If I criticize any Western Christian country, am I criticizing Christianity, or am I criticizing a political entity? And do I not have the right to express myself? And why is it the case with Israel that I can’t express myself? Otherwise I would be deemed as an anti-Semite.
Yeah, it’s completely mind boggling how that situation developed. To very briefly sketch how we arrived at this crazy place, I think that in the United States there’s a struggle for power between ethnic groups. And the United States was founded by and dominated by white anglo-saxon Protestants roughly until world war II, or a little bit thereafter. Then subsequent to World War II there was essentially a takeover by Jewish Americans.
How did that takeover happen, in your opinion?
I think it was largely enabled by the war propaganda of World War Two. President Roosevelt wanted to get the United States into World War Two, for his own self-aggrandizement so he could remain president for a long time, and then lead the world’s most powerful country. He saw that the US could emerge from the war as basically ruling the world.
The pro-war faction had to drag the American people into World War II kicking and screaming, because prior to the Pearl Harbor in December 1941, about 80% of the American people were against entering the war. So the shock effect of Pearl Harbor, which was actually engineered by Roosevelt’s administration and the British, shocked the American people into supporting entry into World War II. That war was the biggest, bloodiest war ever. And it left tremendous scars. The allies, including the United States, committed unimaginable atrocitiesL firebombing cities and burning a hundred thousand plus people to death, nuclear bombs, and so on
And then after the war the mistreatment of Germans was just unbelievable. Eisenhower penned up a million German POWs in barbed wire cages and let them die of exposure and starvation, murdered a million German prisoners of war, and millions of other Germans were murdered in the ethnic cleansing of Germans from lands that would be taken away from Germany post-World War II. So there really was a holocaust in World War II and it was a holocaust of the Germans.
And of all the war criminals in World War Two—and Hitler, of course, was one of them—probably the Allies and the Japanese were the biggest war criminals, not the Germans. But the war propaganda that was generated during World War II became the victor’s history. It was enshrined in Nuremberg trials.
And then it was widely assumed by well-informed people, at least in the United States, that the story of a six million Jews dying, millions of then in gas chambers, and so on was just typical war propaganda, like the Germans bayonetting Belgian babies in World War I. And so there was very little consciousness of any Holocaust throughout the 1950s and into the early 1960s. The Jewish ethnic lobby had been the only place that really paid any attention to this war propaganda about a gas chamber Holocaust in World War II. And that lobby then became so powerful after the 1967 war that the Holocaust was turned into the West’s de facto state religion. The way you know what the official religion of a place is is what’s sacred, and what you will be sanctioned, brutally sanctioned in some cases, for saying. That’s heresy.
Here in Morocco, of course, Islam is the religion. So whatever is blasphemous is basically what Islam considers blasphemous.
(In the West) this state religion (Holocaustianity) is enforced with blasphemy laws, and you can be imprisoned for for doubting the official dogma.

Blue Eyed Jesus and Money…
Here’s some truth you’re not going to like Barrett! Settlers looking to move into Gaza, just as they are doing throughout the West Bank.
It’s a shame that the lame BBC did not include the video of this story. Daniella Weiss was very impressive!
Israel should go right ahead and annex Gaza, and then the West Bank. I am all for it.
Why I am all for it? Because if Israel is successful, it would only be because of the collusions of Arab (Sunni) states. And if their populations do not rise up to overthrow their rulers, then the Arab (Sunni) population would be in effect colluding with Israel.
The Sunni Arab rulers fear domination of the region by Iran and by the Shiites, as do most of their populations (at least until recently, mostly due to the Shia-Sunni clashes in Syria and Iraq). In addition, Arab rulers fear Islamic movements that could threaten their absolute rule.
If (Sunni) Arabs watch passively and allow Israel to create multiple Nakbas, who can blame Israel for not wanting to grab more land? After all there is no one seriously standing up to them, at least among (Sunni) Arabs. Most Sunni states prefer to have Israel dominate the region, than see a victory of Sunni Islamists opposed to Israel, or an empowering of Iran or its Shiite proxies.
I think the (Sunni) Arabs should pay a price for their collusion with Israel, and that price is to lose more and more land to Israel.
Who cares, if the (Sunni) Arabs themselves don’t care.
And if I am proven wrong, that would be even better. Let the Sunni Arabs rise up and overthrow their rulers and confront Israel for once. There is no other way than for Israel going full genocidal and land-grabbing to kick the passive Sunni Arabs in the butt to get going or else get shamed.
Go for it. Grab more land. If the Arabs submit, Sunni Arabs lose deservedly prime land. If they don’t submit and challenge Israel big time, Israelis will lose big time.
Either way it is a win-win proposition as far as I am concerned.
That is good as death and destruction awaits them in the form of the Palestinian Resistance..
Joint Operations – Resistance Roundup – Day 174
The ongoing Gaza war has allowed the Palestinian Resistance groups to take their cooperation to a whole new level.
Israel does not claim that it has destroyed any branches of the Palestinian Resistance in the Strip. Instead, the Israeli military spokesman claimed that they have ‘dismantled’ some of these units.
Even if these claims are true, it seems that the Palestinian Resistance has found a way to cope through the challenges they face in certain areas in Gaza: Joint military operations.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.

A barrister once explained to me how that works. It’s called the ‘Liars Bargain’:
Kevin, I myself am in that position in Open Thread # 9, where I’m having a lively debate with the ‘No Planes Nutters’ (the ones that claim no planes impacted with the WTC towers on the day of 9/11 – they say it was all done by CGI).
Meanwhile, the ignorant clowns that are also participating in the debate, chime in from time to time with how the Muslims/Osama Bin Laden orchestrated the 9/11 False Flag (despite there being no evidence that a single one of those 19 alleged hijackers boarded any of the four aircraft claimed to have crashed on 9/11, and despite seven of those ‘hijackers’ turning up alive AFTER 9/11).
Everything the craziest extremist Zionist settlers do and say hastens the demise of the Entity. The more outrageous their antics, the better.
I don’t often treat myself to an audio (often very limited internet data here), but this one I will listen to!
Many thanks for telling it like it is with such clarity and accessibility.
Best regards,
Kali.
(I wouldn’t watch the video because literacy is more critical and analytic.) I couldn’t tell if the text was by Professor Barrett because he usually speaks so carefully and with erudition, and this text has grammatical sloppiness.
Could we please see the link with 5 million hits?
Is startpage.org a waste of time? I feel that I can get to fair results more quickly there.
Great response to one of UNZ’s most rabid Hasbara Trolls…
As can be seen in the West Bank, “resistance” becomes a lot more difficult when you don’t have hidey tunnels to disappear into.
Let the Palestinians continue to resist the inevitable. Let them live in poverty, raise their kids on free handouts from the UNRWA and promise their kids that the river to the sea will be free Palestine someday. Just like their so-called martyrs are going to get 72 virgins in the heaven they think they will wind up in. [lol]
Uh huh. So Israel is now “the Entity”, like something out of an SF book? [lol]
Israel should have never gave up Gaza. This is what happens when Israel elects weak governments that kowtow to the wishes of the USA presidents.
I recognise this is an idiot comment. But as I understand it, Gaza was historically a Philistine city. The settlers on the West Bank have no claim to it even under their biblical claims. Tribalism will cherry pick any situation to get everything they want. In this case the cherries are Gaza real estate and the natural resources.
الكيان الصهيوني (the Zionist entity) and العدو الصهيوني (the Zionist enemy) are the Arabic words for your genocide project. The land, as opposed to the genocide project, is known as فلسطين المحتلة (Occupied Palestine). These are the words that everyone in the region uses when referring to the obscenity that Western morons call “Isr**l”.
For the Christian contemplating Islam. I write only for them that they may preserve their faith and in a spirit of charity not wishing to hurt the feelings of non-Christians. Only as advice for Christians weak in their faith as I once was:
I am a convert to Orthodox Christianity who once too was contemplating Islam. I was an avid reader of Rene Guenon and Frithjof Schuon.
But then I came across the writings of Father Seraphim Rose, a former perennialist who studied Taoism and then converted to Orthodox Christianity and became one of the greatest Orthodox Christian spiritual lights of the 20th century literally bringing thousands of non-Orthodox into the Orthodox faith.
I also met a non-Christian, a Jew no less, who was also a follower of Schuon before he became disillusioned with Schuon and converted to Orthodoxy.
There is a constructive response to Islam. I do not want to be bigoted.
But what disturbs me sometimes is how Islam distorts Christianity or has a patronizing attitude, like when one of Dr. Barrett’s previous British Muslim convert guests slandered Saint Paul and called Saint Paul “the first dajjal.”
Or when you go to an Islamic bookstore in Brooklyn and find the spurious Gospel of Barnabas.
Two points where Christianity differs from Islam and Judaism:
First point:
In Christianity, forgiveness for all insults and hurts is conditional for salvation.
If one does not forgive those who offend him, he cannot be saved. Or if one sins against the Holy Spirit, denying God’s mercy, or if one apostasizes from the Orthodox faith. Then hell is guaranteed.
In Judaism and Islam, God forgives all sins directed against God, blasphemy, anger, etc. But salvation is conditional upon the forgiveness of the people one sins against, e.g. personal offenses. So, if I rob Ahmad, and if on the day of judgment Ahmad does not accept my apology, I will go to hell. If Ahmad forgives me, I may go to paradise, and Ahmad will get a better chance for going to paradise.
Similar in Judaism.
Second point:
Demonology. Orthodox Christianity has the most precise discernment of demons of all religions. Kevin confuses the stupidities of heresies like Nestornianism, Monophysitism, Catholicism and Protestantism.
In all likelihood, the visions of many Catholic mystics such as “Saint” Teresa of Avila were demonic delusion. Saint Teresa of Avila had “ecstatic” experiences of seeing Christ, almost erotic.
This is unthinkable in Orthodox Christianity.
Father Seraphim Rose wrote something along the lines of, I cannot find the exact quote now and do not have the time but will post it later:
To paraphrase Father Seraphim
“I have studied many religions, but I have found that of all of them, Orthodoxy is the most discerning when it comes to demonic delusion and false visions.”
I find that many of the visions of Sufi mystics such as Ibn Arabi are quite disturbing, as the visions of Hindus or especially Jews.
In Orthodox asceticism, we pray not to have visions or dreams, for they may be of demonic origin.
Also, in regard to demonology, what bothers in Islam is the phenomenon of jinn.
In Orthodox, there are no good spirits other than angels. How can there be good and bad jinn?
I’ll switch now to Judaism, which is truly I believe a repository of the satanic powers. The Jews are in deep delusion. There is no “good Judaism,” not even Neturei Karta. If they read Talmud, they are worshipping Satan.
Without wanting to be boring, it’s telling how in Jewish so-called “mysticism,” they will accept any vision. The degree of demonism in Judaism is so staggering that when one plunges the depths it truly is exactly what Our Lord Maran Yesua al-Masih called “the synagogue of Satan,” and the Jews truly are “knesset ha-satan” the synagogue of satan, kanisat al-shaytan.
As we see in Gaza now. Sorry, but Meir Kahane and Itamar ben-Gvir are normative Judaism, and Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein better recognize this.
Reform Judaism is just an attempt to put a fig leaf on Judaism. Satmar is just as bad. They hate goyim just as much, except that they wait for the Moshiah to come before each Jew can get his 2800 goy slaves.
Surprisingly, the Jews hate Christianity more than anything in the world, whereas the Jews have a patronizing attitude toward Islam and see it as a religion suitable for goyim and perhaps part of the Noahide dispensation.
Read Maimonides “Letter to Yemen” for more details.
On a final note, the great Rabbi Yosef Karo who lived in Safed in the 16th century wrote the famous compendium of Jewish law called Shulhan Aruk. He is considered the Suyuti of Judaism.
Yet beyond his legal talmudic genius, true no doubt, his real obsession was Jewish mysticism. And what happened? Every night, an “angel” or “maggid” would visit Rabbi Yosef Karo in Safed, and Karo recorded this “mystical diary” which was only recently published. Karo’s followers recorded that when the “maggid” would arrive, the doors and windows would open and close, the table would shake.
And what would the “maggid,” this “little angel” tell Rabbi Yosef Karo?
He would say: “O great rabbi, I came to inform you that because of your great wisdom, you have been deemed worthy to meet Prophet Elijah, Eliyahu ha-Navi, in the world to come, olam ha-ba!”
And the great Rabbi Yosef Karo, the gaon ha-dor, the genius of the age, believed the maggid, this little angel!
Who was the maggid/ angel from an Orthodox Christian perspective?
None other than the devil himself, some little demon posing as an angel.
Karo’s vision is anathema in Orthodox Christianity because it is based on pride. Pride is the worst sin. In Orthodox literature, if a monk praying in his cell saw an angel who told him: “You are worthy to see Elijah or some other saint,” the monk would immediately go to his Elder who would inform him to make the sign of the cross when the angel appears again to see that this is a demonic vision. Then the “angel” comes, the monk crosses himself, and the devil appears.
Judaism is the source of all the world’s misery for its rejection of Christ, as we now see in Gaza. Their rabbis say “kill them all.” In Orthodoxy, even to kill in war is considered a great sin.
So these are the two key distinctions between Orthodoxy and all other Christian heresies and religions:
Necessity of forgiveness
Discernment of demons
I leave you with the words of Saint Paul the Apostle in his Epistle to the Galatians, when the Galatian Christians became infected with Jewish ideas by the local Jews who were slandering Saint Paul, Christ and the Gospel:
1:6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.
1:7 Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
1:9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
1:11 For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
1:12 For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Salam. Palestinian Muslims and Christians, we are all in the same boat now. May God protect the harmony between these two communities as we face extinction at the hands of the synagogue of satan.
Some Christian Priests do convert to Islam.
Do you think it is due to monotheism?

A chapter in the Quran pertaining to People of Israel.
What is Surah Bani Israel about?
Al-Isra’ – Wikipedia
‘The Night Journey, alternatively known as Bani Israel’), is the 17th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 111 verses (āyāt). The word Isra’ refers to the Night Journey of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This surāh is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God. Hizb no.
What was Allah’s warning to Bani Israel?
They were warned, “Take advantage of the Prophethood of Muhammad (Allah’s peace be upon him) because that is the last opportunity which is being given to you. If even now you behave as you have been behaving, you shall meet with a painful torment.”
“The Night Journey” Chapter 17 Al-Isra n the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Glory to Him who journeyed His servant by night, from the Sacred Mosque, to the Farthest Mosque, whose precincts We have blessed, in order to show him of Our wonders. He is the Listener, the Beholder.
2. And We gave Moses the Scripture, and made it a guide for the Children of Israel: Take none for protector other than Me.
3. The descendants of those We carried with Noah. He was an appreciative servant.
4. And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture: You will commit evil on earth twice, and you will rise to a great height.
5. When the first of the two promises came true, We sent against you servants of Ours, possessing great might, and they ransacked your homes. It was a promise fulfilled.
6. Then We gave you back your turn against them, and supplied you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous.
7. If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves. Then, when the second promise comes true, they will make your faces filled with sorrow, and enter the Temple as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy all that falls into their power.
8. Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert, We will revert. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
9. This Quran guides to what is most upright; and it gives good news to the believers who do good deeds, that they will have a great reward.
10. And those who do not believe in the Hereafter—We have prepared for them a painful punishment.
11. The human being prays for evil as he prays for good. The human being is very hasty.
12. We have made the night and the day two wonders. We erased the wonder of the night, and made the wonder of the day revealing, that you may seek bounty from your Lord, and know the number of years, and the calculation. We have explained all things in detail.
13. For every person We have attached his fate to his neck. And on the Day of Resurrection, We will bring out for him a book which he will find spread open.
14. “Read your book; today there will be none but yourself to call you to account.”
15. Whoever is guided—is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray—goes astray to his detriment. No burdened soul carries the burdens of another, nor do We ever punish until We have sent a messenger.
16. When We decide to destroy a town, We command its affluent ones, they transgress in it, so the word becomes justified against it, and We destroy it completely.
17. How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? Your Lord is sufficient as Knower and Beholder of the sins of his servants.
18. Whoever desires the fleeting life, We expedite for him what We decide to give him, to whomever We desire. Then We consign him to Hell, where he will roast, condemned and defeated.
19. But whoever desires the Hereafter, and pursues it as it should be pursued, while he is a believer; these—their effort will be appreciated.
20. To all—these and those—We extend from the gifts of your Lord. The gifts of your Lord are not restricted.
21. See how We have favored some of them over others; yet the Hereafter is greater in ranks, and greater in favors.
22. Do not set up another god with God, lest you become condemned and damned.
23. Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to your parents. If either of them or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a word of disrespect, nor scold them, but say to them kind words.
24. And lower to them the wing of humility, out of mercy, and say, “My Lord, have mercy on them, as they raised me when I was a child.”
25. Your Lord knows best what is in your minds. If you are righteous—He is Forgiving to the obedient.
26. And give the relative his rights, and the poor, and the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.
27. The extravagant are brethren of the devils, and the devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
28. But if you turn away from them, seeking mercy from your Lord which you hope for, then say to them words of comfort.
29. And do not keep your hand tied to your neck, nor spread it out fully, lest you end up liable and regretful.
30. Your Lord expands the provision for whomever He wills, and restricts it. He is fully Informed, Observant of His servants.
31. And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them, and for you. Killing them is a grave sin.
32. And do not come near adultery. It is immoral, and an evil way.
33. And do not kill the soul which God has made sacred, except in the course of justice. If someone is killed unjustly, We have given his next of kin certain authority. But he should not be excessive in killing, for he will be supported.
34. And do not go near the orphan’s property, except with the best of intentions, until he has reached his maturity. And honor your pledge, because the pledge involves responsibility.
35. And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with accurate scales. That is fair, and the best determination.
36. And do not occupy yourself with what you have no knowledge of. The hearing, and the sight, and the brains—all these will be questioned.
37. And do not walk proudly on earth. You can neither pierce the earth, nor can you match the mountains in height.
38. The evil of all these is disliked by your Lord.
39. That is some of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set up with God another god, or else you will be thrown in Hell, rebuked and banished.
40. Has your Lord favored you with sons, while choosing for Himself daughters from among the angels? You are indeed saying a terrible thing.
41. We have explained in this Quran in various ways, that they may remember, but it only adds to their rebellion.
42. Say, “If there were other gods with Him, as they say, they would have sought a way to the Lord of the Throne.”
43. Be He glorified. He is exalted, far above what they say.
44. Praising Him are the seven heavens, and the earth, and everyone in them. There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing and Forgiving.
45. When you read the Quran, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.
46. And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.
47. We know well what they listen to, when they listen to you, as they conspire, when the wrongdoers say, “You only follow a man bewitched.”
48. Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way.
49. And they say, “When we have become bones and fragments, shall we really be resurrected as a new creation?”
50. Say, “Even if you become rocks or iron.
51. Or some substance, which, in your minds, is even harder.” Then they will say, “Who will restore us?” Say, “The One who originated you the first time.” Then they will nod their heads at you, and say, “When will it be?” Say, “Perhaps it will be soon.”
52. On the Day when He calls you, you will respond with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little.
53. Tell My servants to say what is best. Satan sows discord among them. Satan is to man an open enemy.
54. Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He will have mercy on you; and if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send you as their advocate.
55. Your Lord knows well everyone in the heavens and the earth. We have given some prophets advantage over others; and to David We gave the Psalms.
56. Say, “Call upon those you claim besides Him. They have no power to relieve your adversity, nor can they change it.”
57. Those they call upon are themselves seeking means of access to their Lord, vying to be nearer, and hoping for His mercy, and fearing His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is to be dreaded.
58. There is no city but We will destroy before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe punishment. This is inscribed in the Book.
59. Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except that the ancients called them lies. We gave Thamood the she-camel, a visible sign, but they mistreated her. We do not send the signs except to instill reverence.
60. We said to you that your Lord encompasses humanity. We did not make the vision We showed you, except as a test for the people, and the tree cursed in the Quran. We frighten them, but that only increases their defiance.
61. When We said to the angels, “Bow down before Adam,” they bowed down, except for Satan. He said, “Shall I bow down before someone You created from mud?”
62. He said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored more than me? If You reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will bring his descendants under my sway, except for a few.”
63. He said, “Begone! Whoever of them follows you—Hell is your reward, an ample reward.”
64. “And entice whomever of them you can with your voice, and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make promises to them.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.
65. “As for My devotees, you have no authority over them.” Your Lord is an adequate Guardian.
66. Your Lord is He who propels for you the ships at sea, that you may seek of His bounty. He is towards you Most Merciful.
67. When harm afflicts you at sea, those you pray to vanish, except for Him. But when He saves you to land, you turn away. The human being is ever thankless.
68. Are you confident that He will not cause a track of land to cave in beneath you, or unleash a tornado against you, and then you find no protector?
69. Or are you confident that He will not return you to it once again, and unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will find no helper against Us.
70. We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over many of those We created.

72. But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter, and further astray from the way.
73. They almost lured you away from what We have revealed to you, so that you would invent something else in Our name. In that case, they would have taken you for a friend.

75. Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.

80. And say, “My Lord, lead me in through an entry of truth, and lead me out through an exit of truth, and grant me from You a supporting power.”
81. And say, “The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither away.”
82. We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.
83. When We bless the human being, he turns away and distances himself. But when adversity touches him, he is in despair.
84. Say, “Each does according to his disposition. Your Lord knows best who is better guided in the way.”
85. And they ask you about the Spirit. Say, “The Spirit belongs to the domain of my Lord; and you were given only little knowledge.”
86. If We willed, We could take away what We revealed to you. Then you will find for yourself no protecting guardian against Us.

92. Or make the sky fall on us in pieces, as you claim, or bring God and the angels before us.

98. This is their repayment for having blasphemed against Our revelations, and having said, “Shall we, when we have become bones and fragments, be resurrected as a new creation?”

100. Say, “If you possessed the treasuries of my Lord’s mercy, you would have withheld them for fear of spending.” The human being has always been stingy.

106. A Quran which We unfolded gradually, that you may recite to the people over time. And We revealed it in stages.

First question: What is a Mahmood OD?
It’s not Google’s job to be on the lookout for your posts, Google doesn’t work for you. When I google your name you’re all over the first page of results. You’re not banned from Google. The real world maybe, but not Google.
The history is not quite as you paint it; what you call “the internet” and normal folks call the WorldWide Web pretty much came with search engines at birth. There were already search engines for the internet, which predates what you call “the internet”. Example: an early WWW search engine was called “ask” (www.ask.com). What a clever way for those dastardly CIA folks to hide it! It doesn’t take smarts or codeword level access to wonder “What happens if I type ‘ask’” here?” I’m living proof.
With the UN Prom Night Dumpster Baby ’48 the operation entered phase 2 or whatever number, and it was time for the showrunners to eat at the Craft Services table, that is take high paying government jobs which would bring them contacts and even mo’money. Wouldn’t you? I would.
Easy to say when you don’t live in Egypt, Syria or Lebanon. Would you also mandate that Israel slaughter all the Canaanites inhabiting the land gifted to them by the Saudis? <- Yes I know you say Sunni with peculiar artistic stylish loner belltower manifesto trekkie parentheses around it but we get that you're really talking about The House. 'Nuff said.
There is definitely no biblical claim to the city and environs of Gaza for the Jews to make.
Why do people use Google which limits the searches one is looking for?
I gave up using it a few years.
