Something good happened in Washington last week, suggesting that the year might actually end on a high note without Joe Biden starting World War 3 and opening up all the country’s prisons for the on-the-street rehabilitation of the inmates where they will undoubtedly learn new skills. The good thing was the signing by Biden of a bill, perhaps with a little bit of help from his friends to make sure he spelled his name correctly, to make the Bald Eagle the official bird of the United States of America. The Eagle has been around the American Republic virtually since its foundation, appearing on the Great Seal and on various documents and even on currency, but it has never been officially dubbed the national bird.

All honor of place is due to the great bald eagle, but one might recall that Benjamin Franklin once suggested that the best choice for the national bird would be the wild turkey. And Biden still has time for mischief, including possibly ennobling turkeys or even the issuance of a pardon to himself for ignoring the United States Constitution for four years. And Joe might well choose to go preemptive by pardoning Hillary Clinton for all those classified emails and other documents that somehow disappeared from her home and office ten years ago. But apart from that, it is somehow reassuring to be able to keep repeating “only three more weeks of Biden and Harris” even though the potential for more damage to the Bill of Rights remains enormous.

Joe is well remembered for his open borders invitation which has produced huge crowds of happy American voters who were clearly not delighted to share the burden of millions of uneducated and unskilled foreigners who have demonstrated their ability to burn to death women sleeping on subway trains in New York City just to see what a flaming human body looks like. Oh, and the new Americans have to be housed and fed by the existing population as the process grinds on, but that is what the Democrats running nearly all the major US cities have come to expect from a cowed population that now understands that opposing government policies puts one on the FBI enemies list.

Joe and his stalwart band of liars have also connived in pulling together two wars in which the United States had no actual interest, arming and funding both Ukraine and Israel. Israel has said thank you by adroitly engaging in genocide against the Palestinian people while Kiev is somewhat clumsily occupied in trying to draw the US and NATO into open warfare against Russia, which would become a nuclear World War 3, so there is still time Joe! And then there is the new war going on in Syria where the US armed and trained militias are fighting similarly armed and trained militias controlled by the Turks, who are poised to divide what once was a place called Syria with the Israelis. The Zionists have for many years been planning to exterminate Lebanese and Syrians as well as Palestinians to create a Greater Israel.

But Joe and his buddies apparently are not satisfied with having started two wars when there are so many other places that need a stern dose of the old “rules based international order” to get their houses in order. China is number one on the list as it is outperforming the United States and the Europeans economically. And one can always use the excuse that it is threatening good old Taiwan to crank up a shooting war. And then there is Iran, everyone’s favorite when it comes to “who is next on the list?” Israel has eliminated Hezbollah and Syria, with US connivance and approval, to open the door to destroying the Iranian non-existent nuclear weapons program. Both Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been openly discussing that option as it would mean bombing Iran’s military bases as well as its technical research facilities. Donald Trump has been involved in similar discussions with Netanyahu.

How the attacks on Iran might play out is interesting to contemplate and might follow something like the model of what happed to Syria. Recent reports indicate that something unexpected took place during an Israeli bombing attack directed against a Syrian strategic military site located near the city of Tartus. Israel has been bombing Syria constantly since the government of Bashar al-Assad fell and it has particularly targeted any sites or weapons warehouses that the new government can use to defend itself or establish its territorial integrity. The bombing in question used what many suspect to be a tactical nuclear weapon in an effort to completely obliviate the Syrian military installation that houses scud surface-to-surface missiles among other high-level ordnance. A huge explosion was noted on seismographs located five hundred miles away, as far as Iznik in Turkey. The blast might have been caused by the detonation of the many weapons stored in the facility, but the suspicion grows that Israel, protected as always by Washington even when it commits mass murder or defies international conventions on banned weapons, continues to believe that it can do and get away with anything.

Even if Biden does not open any new doors to further deploy the US military, there is considerable danger that he will succeed in locking new President Donald Trump in the conflicts currently going on. Trump is not averse to using force when it is what he considers it the best option. He has lately said some ridiculous things, arguing that the United States considers the “ownership and control of Greenland” to be an “absolute necessity” for maintaining American “national security” and “freedom throughout the world.” This has naturally riled the people who actually live in Greenland who now are wondering how they are blocking freedom globally.

The statement on Greenland came after Trump in a conversation at Mar-a-Lago demoted Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada by giving him the title of “Governor”, calling Canada the 51st State of the United States “union,” which would “save on taxes and military protection.” Trump also has threatened to take over the Panama Canal and tweeted “we’ll see about that!” in response to the President of Panama’s declaration that every inch of the Panama Canal belongs to Panama. Trump then posted up a graphic on his website featuring “Welcome to the United States Canal!” above a picture of the American flag flying over a lock in the Panama Canal. Trump has also allegedly privately considered invading Mexico in order to combat the drug cartels on the US border and using American soldiers to block illegal immigrants seeking to cross.

Trump’s ignorance over who is doing what in the Middle East is astonishing but largely derives from his own personal and family attachment to Zionism and more particularly to his reliance on billionaire Jewish donors. The serial appointments of pro-Israel nominees to the key cabinet posts where decisions impacting Israel will be made for the next four years both will shape policy and guarantee that Trump stays on track with Israel, just as Joe Biden did when surrounded by his own Jewish neocons. Trump has already vowed that there will be “hell to pay” in the Middle East if the remaining Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip are not released by his January 20th inauguration.

Likewise, Israeli government officials, including Netanyahu, cannot wait for current Secretary of State Antony Blinken to be replaced by Florida congressman Marco Rubio. Blinken has been a complete tool of Israel but he projects a certain timidity. Rubio shows no such restraint and is very clear on what he believes to be true. He recently called Hamas “animals” and made clear that they are “100% to blame” for everyone killed in Israel and in Gaza during the current war. The moment he assumes control, there will be the “maximum pressure” that Trump often cites on Hamas to surrender or face the consequences. The Trump administration will supply Israel with bunker-busting bombs and whatever else is needed to kill anyone perceived to be an enemy of the Jewish state. Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has said, “If you love America, you should love Israel.” He will back that up by delivering on Israel’s military needs as defined by Netanyahu.

So there you go! The old year is ending on both a bang and a whimper. Joe Biden still has plenty of opportunity to raise hell and tie Trump to certain policies, particularly when it comes to continuing “useless” wars. Trump for his part will enter office owned by Israel and led by the nose by his belligerent cabinet. The actual needs and interests of the American people will be, as usual, invisible to the politicians and lost in the shuffle.

    hamas contests any idea of their defeat and has just taken out three more zionist invaders in gaza. if hamas is not yet defeated, how can hezbollah be considered eliminated? just because they didn’t send you a christmas card, doesn’t mean they have given up.

    the situation in syria is also just heating up, with turkish hts forces insisting u.s. backed kurdish forces surrender their arms, to the hts led “syrian government”, with full turkish backing. the kurds have responded with a counter offensive, so the shit is already hitting the fan. they are begging the russians to keep their bases but putin isn’t sure he wants any of his troops in harms way, in such a cluster fuck.

    guess who does have their troops in harms way in this cluster fuck? why the izzies and their idiot golem, who find themselves in the trap they laid for the russians and iranians. sounds like mission accomplished to me.

    and this just in:

    the eagle has turned down the offer of national bird, saying they have nothing to do with this hideous kakistocracy, masquerading as a democracy and demand their name and image, no longer be associated with this blood soaked, murderous nation. they also refuse to be referred to as “american eagles” or “bald eagles” stating their heads are fully feathered and that it is humans that go bald, and this is merely a projection of their own deficiencies. they demand henceforth, to be referred to as platinum eagles to differentiate them from golden eagles.

    So the zionist entity was suspected by seismographs of using a tactical nuke in Syria. Well the seismographs all the way up to Cyprus also recorded the explosion in the Beitut Harbor. Folks, Chemical fertilizer does not catch on fire when ignited by itself using fire works.

    Biden or Trump what’s the difference, they’re both zionist harem.

    Remember the movie Thelma and Louise, did you watch it? Well, we are also about to watch the movie Trump and Israel, were both go off the cliff.

    It is getting very close to Israel’s 80 years experation date. Many disasters can happen in 3 years, Syria fell in two weeks. Can you say zionist civil war? zionist civil war, Amen! It is only fair, they caused so many.

    Yet another NGO reported that Israel continues to commit genocide against the Palestinians but Biden rejected that report as well. The US bombed Somalia, Syria and Yemen, all more or less defenceless against air attack. In America It’s Another Week to be Proud of!

    As a result Biden ordered a surge of weaponry to Ukraine. Just think what what the hundreds of billions sent to Ukraine so far could have done for American citizens: ending homelessness and hunger at the very least. In America It’s Another Week to be Proud of!

    “Israel has eliminated Hezbollah.” Last I saw Israel never got further than a kilometre inside Lebanon then begged for a ceasefire. If you really think ten thousand or so head-choppers can stop a sector that has been thriving in the area for thousands of years, namely smuggling, then maybe think again. Plus Beirut has a port and where there’s a port…

    Once Hezbollah either develops or imports anti-aircraft capabilities – which will not be long – then Israel will have no material advantage. Instead of sending whole systems all Iran has to do is send blueprints and key components to Hezbollah.

    You can’t claim you’ll make a nation great if you’re just going to transform it like the SOB Obama after he lied and betrayed everyone. Biden only did this because he wanted to distract everyone from how much he has fucked up. Thinking that this change he just made is suppose to now all of a sudden make him a goddamn hero of a country he just helped destroy… Just like America’s flag doesn’t mean or represent the United States in its current form anymore, why even make the Eagle it’s icon and mascot?

    Trump’s biggest mistake in 2014 was to not pardon Ms. Clinton and thereby take her off the chessboard by opening a Chinagate front to counter her Russiagate gambit. There was plenty of material from the ‘90s onward linking both Clintons to China, not to mention Algore’s famous “no controlling legal authority” speech in response to bags of cash received from Chinese nationals.

    Turkey only looks like a temporary ally of the US and Israel.

    Is Erdogan planning to pick up the future remnants of what is now called Israel? Syria and Palestine were parts of the Ottoman Empire.

    Erdoğan’s Demands on Jerusalem Could Raise Questions About Istanbul’s Sovereignty

    On December 22, 2024, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan rallied a crowd of his Islamist supporters in Mardin, not far from the Syrian border. As his supporters chanted, “Mr. President, take us to Jerusalem,” Erdoğan paused and then promised, “Patience brings victory.” His comments came less than five months after he appeared to threaten war on Israel.

    His latest threats were not spontaneous. On October 1, 2020, Erdoğan declared, “Jerusalem is our city.” Turkey’s National Assembly—essentially a hollowed-out, rubber stamp for Erdoğan’s agenda—has put Jerusalem’s conquest high on its agenda. “Türkiye stands by the Palestinian cause, with all its institutions, government, the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye, and most importantly, with its nation. I wholeheartedly believe that, in the coming period, Palestine will be liberated,” Parliamentary Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş declared on October 16, 2024.

All of this was depressing to read, I think by next year I’m probably going to just give up on Unz, it’ll be hard to do because of the fact I have nothing else better to do at the moment with my free time. But it’s apparent to me that both Trump and Biden are assholes, which is why any time someone tries to prove that Trump is any different than Biden, I feel the need to slap the shit out of them. He’s exactly the same as Biden. And he will continue to do what Biden was doing. Fact is I’m sick and tired of the scum that own this country and all the politicians.

    And I’m even more bidder and pissed off with the citizens for never taking any actual action to set things straight. Instead they continue to worship Trump while saying stupid meaningless crap like “If you want to save America, vote Trump!” His voters get on my goddamn nerves so much so I’d like to see them thrown in front of a moving train. That’s how much I hate his voters. All this faith they put into some zionist owned prick with the same goals and aims as Biden.

    America is so awful and dangerously bad, that even a woman being burnt alive isn’t enough to send the country into a frenzy against the illegals….Yet some POS cocksucker named George Floyd dies in 2020, and you have half of the fucking leftist side of the nation rioting over that loser.

  26. An appropriate choice, for the Bald Eagle is a superb hunter but will steal other birds’ catches when he can. As it happens, the eagle is sacred to Jupiter, the protector of the Roman state. Our national motto “Annuit coeptis (he has favored [our] undertakings)” which appears on the reverse of the Great Seal and the current dollar bill, alludes to line 625 in book IX of Virgil’s Aeneid, “Juppiter omnipotes, audacibus annue coeptis (All-powerful Jupiter, favor [our] daring undertakings).” It is noteworthy that the first Roman emperor, Augustus, ordered the Aeneid’s composition to create a unifying national myth of the origin and destiny of the Roman people. This motto was proposed in 1782 by Charles Thompson, the secretary of the Continental Congress and an avid classical scholar. Its original context could not have been far from the minds of the men busy founding a new nation (based on the checks and balances system of the Roman republic) when they approved this phrase, and its companion “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” which appears in Virgil’s Eclogues as the prophecy of the Cumaean Sybil that the infant Rome is destined to rule the world.

    Early American iconography is rich with classical allusions yet there is scarcely a specific reference to Christianity to be found anywhere.

    LOL re. your eagle tale.

    As for Syria, you will also have read of it by now, in recent days I have read of two different attacks by Baath/SAA/republican diehards on the largely imported HTS creeps.

    So perhaps yet another factor in the mess made by Turkey, the U.S., and Schnozzrael.

    For Doc. Giraldi, a great summary, only one point new to me, the possibility that Schnozzrael used a small nookoolar weapon on Tartus. I read the article you linked, did a bit more searching, much evidence supports the hypothesis. Very depressing.

    It’s easy to laugh at Trumps neo-Imperial bluster about Candidia, the Panama Canal, and Greenland, but he may mean it, particularly for Greenland.

    The invasion of Iceland by the U.S. in mid-1941, after Britain had already invaded the place, was, along with the attacks on German merchant and Kriegsmarine vessels, the true point of U.S. entry into the war. Not Pearl Harbour.

    I doubt that the Donald reads enough to have any idea of that history, I imagine that he just looks at a map or a globe and thinks ‘Wow, that’d be the biggest deal since Alaska!’

    He seems to be obsessed by Greenland, I remember he was making the same kind of noises when he was your Prexident before.

London used to be my favorite place to visit but that great city has been turned into a shithole by the Allah Akbar crowd that has descended upon it from all over the world. The Chinese, the Hindus and the Jews may be problematic because of their penchant to gather money and material things but they haven’t turned crowd killers like that devil who had the temerity to drive his vehicle into a crowded market in Germany. And the only reason American cities aren’t turned into jihadi fields like the European ones is simply because there aren’t many of them here and we should thank our lucky stars for it. I say we continue on the path we’re on to see where it leads us with China and their ambitious plans to be the hegemonic power.

    Indeed, why call this eagle ‘bald’ when it’s clearly white-headed…

    You’ve answered your own question. “White” or “white headed” were among the earlier meanings of bald. maintained in the word piebald, used to described horses and other animals with patches of white due to a genetic condition.

    American colonists named the bird Bald Eagle because the adults have a white head, not because they’re bald, which in any case, they’re not.

    There are no Bald Eagles in Europe or Asia, so the Bald Eagle had nothing to do with Rome, but the widespread Golden Eagle did.

    As for New World Vultures, the Turkey Vulture is a much more impressive bird than the Black Vulture, and additionally can easily be mistaken for an eagle while soaring, even though the TV is more closely related to the Storks than it is to all the other birds of prey, and shares with the Storks the curious habit of urinating on its own legs to cool off.

    But the pair of American vultures, Black and Turkey, do serve well as symbolic figures, a metaphor if you will, for the choices we American voters had this year.

    I love the bald eagle, and was fortunate to grow up in an area where their sightings were special, but not rare. However, it is indeed the perfect bird for our national symbolic a country where the narrative rules, the humble put down, and the frauds put forth; some say, ‘the empire of lies’.

    Plutarch’s Lives, Vol 1. Hercules also was glad to see a vulture present itself when he was upon an exploit.For it is the least harmful of all creatures, injures no grain, fruit-tree, or cattle, and lives on carrion. But it does not kill or maltreat anything that has life, and as for birds, it will not touch them even when they are dead, since they are of its own species. But eagles, owls, and hawks smite their own kind when alive, and kill them.

    Franklin wrote about the bald eagle…is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself.” About the turkey, Franklin wrote that in comparison to the bald eagle, the turkey is “a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original Native of America…He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a bird of courage.”

    Wikipedia writes: The bald eagle is an opportunistic carnivore and obtain much of their food via a practice known as kleptoparasitism, (a term fitting the U.S. government, home and abroad), by which they steal prey away from other predators. Due to their dietary habits, bald eagles are frequently viewed in a negative light by humans.They are not very selective about the condition or origin, whether provided by humans, other animals, auto accidents or natural causes. Bald eagles also may sometimes feed on material scavenged or stolen from campsites and picnics, as well as garbage dump and fish-processing plants.

    Joe and his buddies apparently are not satisfied with having started two wars… China is number one on the list as it is outperforming the United States and the Europeans economically. And one can always use the excuse that it is threatening good old Taiwan to crank up a shooting war.

    Recently, Orange Man’s nominee for Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge Colby, stated, “We’d be insane to let TSMC fall into China’s hands untouched…”

    TSMC is of course a Taiwan microchip fabricator. Colby was referencing the so-called ‘Broken Nest’ idea, put forth in the US Army War College’s quarterly academic journal Parameters (written by two Deep State academics, Jared McKinney and Peter Harris). What this means is the US should consider a ‘scorched earth’ policy with regard to Taiwan. That is, in order to ‘deter’ China from reunification with its island, the US should state up-front that American policy is to literally destroy Taiwan’s infrastructure should China invade. Here, the argument is that it would deter China from attempting any forceful reunification.

    But there is more. In addition, in order to keep Taiwan from peacefully reuniting with the mainland, the US should wholeheartedly push the DPP secessionist line (that a full 60% of Taiwanese do not support), using conventional military and other ‘economic’ aid. Possibly by mining the ocean around the island, installing anti-aircraft batteries, etc.

    All of it demonstrates the hypocrisy of the US ‘rules based order’ as it relates to ‘democracy’. First, it ignores (or shows a complete ignorance) how China’s regard for Taiwan is not due to the island’s infrastructure, which by the way the mainland has essentially matched, but rather because Taiwan is an integral part of China. China has always considered Taiwan thusly– its infrastructure is not and has never been the reason for the mainland’s goal toward unification. It is rather an issue of Blood and Land.

    Second, Broken Nest ignores the will of the majority of Taiwanese who desire peaceful coexistence, possibly via a ‘One China, Two Systems’ arrangement, like Macao and Hong Kong.

    Third, revealing that the US has no interest in the island’s people at all, preferring to destroy the entire entity in order to keep industrial output in US hands, away from Chinese control.

    Trump’s man is just another in a long line of ‘my way or the highway’ US foreign policy hacks. Compare his recent statements on Panama and Greenland. If the US wants it, nothing else matters. Whatever it wants, it takes, by hook or by crook.

    An ideal US world would look like the ME. On-going Death and Destruction, total destabilization, run by Jews and their bought and paid for neocon goyim, enforced by proxy running dogs.

    We sometimes get bald eagle visitors in our yard, transients from the nearby breeding grounds along the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. We got up one morning to find two of them lying in the grass next to our driveway. They didn’t seem inclined to move and I assumed they were injured so I called the local Raptor Recovery folks and they sent out a car with a specialist. He reported that they were, as the expression goes, fornicating. He left and about twenty minutes later they finished what they were doing and flew off. Mission accomplished apparently!

    Thanks for your insights, but Christianity, which could not be publicly repudiated by the deist Founders at the time, is constantly referred t0 in coded language as “religion,” and for the express Lockean purpose of subordinating “religion” (meaning only Christianity in the late 18th century American context) to the secular principles of the supposed Enlightenment.

    This repudiation of Christianity as the ultimate grounding of the moral and social order is implied in Article III, clause 6, of the Constitution, which precludes any religious test (ie, public expression of the Christian faith) for any public office or position of public trust, and Amenment 1, prohibiting the establishment of “religion,” which meant prohibiting the promotion and defense of Christianity, or allowing the reliance on anything in Christianity getting in the way of establishing a secularizing, pagan Novus Ordo Seclorum modeled on ancient Rome.

    I believe it was just after the Civil War that some Protestant leaders tried to introduce wording into the Constitution by amendment acknowledging that the will of the people, ie “our democracy,” is always subordinate to and constrained the will of God expressed in the Bible, which went nowhere in America, and that was 150 years ago.

    What could be more “enlightened” than a secular government placing itself above God like ours, operating on the principle that “When God is dead, all is permissible”? Today the government sanctions men using the women’s toilets, sexual mutilation of troubled children, debt slavery, pornography, mass murder overseas, etc., and does so by rigging elections to ensure that the preposterous idea of the “will of the people” means legitimizing the genocidal agenda of our anti-American, Christian-hating elites.

    deist Founders at the time,

    They were not deists. A common urban legend. They were Rationalists, believers in reason, logic, and material determinism, with an amorphous spirituality. This cluster of contradictory beliefs were a reaction against the Ancient World and its primitive theology and reactive stance on worldly knowledge.

    The essence of deism is that the Creator made the Universe, and then went on vacation and let it run itself. The model of a watchmaker has been used as an analogue. Asian and Oriental philosophers must have had a good laugh at the stupidity and clumsy attempt by the Enlightenment to govern and explain the full range of human endeavors.

    In mechanical engineering, a method may be conceived, a procedural, or guideline. The longevity-will it work and produce what is predicted?-determines its utility.

    Well done exposition. I believe it is a historical tragedy that the West, The American Constitution, and other foundations were built on Western Christianity, which like the processed foods of today, are constituted with artificial, poisonous ingredients, and synthetic substitutes for naturally occurring food stuffs.

    Without a debate or prolonged discussion of the demerits and merits of same, let’s look at the performance of Western religions. How have they weathered the centuries, the challenges? How have they-if it is so-provided illumination in times of darkness and discombobulation? My answer is that they have not. One needs to only read the commenter A123 (Three Assholes) to perceive the detritus that Christianity has washed upon the shore. Like so many-if not most-his service and fealty is to the Semite Termite, His Divine Right Kings, AKA Jews, Kikes, Yids, Exterminators, etc, etc.

    The results are in, they are unmistakable and unambiguous. Western Christianity caused great damage to the machinery. On the other hand, Orthodoxy and Buddhism and Oriental religions and beliefs have withstood the tests of time and circumstance. An analogy would be Western Christianity is like a poor lubricating oil. It breaks down, forms acids, fails its function to separate moving parts from each other, resulting in breakdown, material and personal (lives) lost to a substandard product. Not for industrial or heavy duty. Greasing baking pans, maybe.

    I worked at Ismeca, a Swiss company renowned for designing, manufacturing, and selling advanced equipment for testing, inspection, and packaging semiconductor components. The facility where I was based was located in Carlsbad, California. Ismeca founders had an intriguing history, having pivoted from its origins in manufacturing the iconic Swiss analog watches to producing turret-based test handling and back-end finishing equipment for integrated circuits (ICs), LEDs, and discrete components.

    Working for Ismeca was an exceptional experience. The Swiss company culture was a fascinating blend of meticulous perfectionism and a relaxed, employee-focused approach. Their generosity and dedication to employee well-being were notable and deeply appreciated.

    The machines themselves were highly sophisticated, presenting a stimulating combination of complexity and innovation. Building and refining these systems required tackling intricate technical challenges, which made the work both demanding and intellectually rewarding.

    The video provides a 360-degree virtual tour of Intel’s chip manufacturing process, showcasing state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities and advanced semiconductor fabrication technologies. It highlights critical stages such as photolithography, etching, and chemical processes involved in chip production, emphasizing precision and automation in a highly controlled environment.

    The showcased next-generation equipment shares similarities with Ismeca’s focus on high-tech automation, particularly in precision handling, testing, and packaging of semiconductor components.

    I can remember when those jews who touted “separation of church and state” pushed their agenda to the extreme–instituting lawsuits against municipalities who chose to allow Christmas displays on public property. The lawsuits were numerous, from big-city displays to small towns-public displays of Christianity were outlawed.
    It’s turned full-circle. Christmas displays are still prohibited on public property while jewish menorahs are cropping up all over the place. Hell, even the White House proudly publicly displayed a jewish menorah.
    “Holocaustianity™” has been declared the official “state religion” in many countries with severe sanctions and imprisonment for those who “do not believe”. Ask Ursula Haverbeck (RIP), Monika Schaefer, Sylvia Stolz, Ernst Zundel, and others who have been imprisoned for refusing to genuflect, bow down and acknowledge this “new state religion”. In fact, Zundel’s Canadian home was firebombed by jewish interests who were never apprehended. The Canadian government is thoroughly “jewified” and as such has no interest in seeking “justice”, especially against jews. In fact, Canada has just criminalized “Holocaustianity™” “non-believers”.
    This jewish “rot” has also spread to the USA. While in israel, Florida’s “governor” DeSantis signed two laws criminalizing the free speech rights of Florida citizens while mandating that ALL Florida schoolchildren shall visit the “jewish freak shows” known as “holocaust™” museums under penalty of law. Gotta brainwash them while they are young. Any criticism of judaism is now considered to be “hate speech” in Florida and is now punishable by fines and incarceration.
    Jews no longer couch their hatred of Christianity in legal terms, but are overtly brash and confident in their hatred of Christianity.
    The most repulsive buildings are the “Holocaustianity™ temples” along with their acolytes perpetuating their prayers, damning and blaming all gentiles who did not “just do something”.
    You see, “jewish suffering” is unlike any other and as such, must be memorialized by erecting these taxpayer-funded “jewish freak shows”.
    “Holocaustianity™ temples” have no place anywhere in the world as they are totally based on fraud and deception–two prime jewish traits.
    Taxpayer funding of these “jewish freak shows” adds insult to injury and should be prohibited as it constitutes promotion of one religion over another–expressly forbidden by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
    While we are at it, all of the menorahs placed on pubic property during the “menorah season” should be outlawed as well.

    You’re right, a woman is burned alive and it’s already yesterday news; Fentanyl Floyd overdoses under a white cops knee and we’re still affected by it. It’s all based on the skin color of the perceived perpetrator” and the perceived victim, skin color is everything in 2024.

    The longer it takes the NYPD to tell us who that burned-alive woman is the more I’m thinking she’s white; a brown prep and white victim has zero lasting power although there will be an instant flash in the pan of white anger. Now if the victim was black and that Guatemalan had been a white man we’d have been immediately told and we’d also never hear the end of it.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is introduced to a standing ovation as he shakes hands with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle as he arrives to address a joint session of Congress.

    Three Democrats, including Rashida Tlaib, remain seated and do not clap.

    No I agree with you things are getting worse, or maybe we are just noticing it. Back when I was a kid in the 1990s, street gang violence and the drug epidemic was horribly bad all over California and New York City. People were being gunned down every day in the street just like how it is in Chicago and Detroit today. At the time I paid no attention to the news, ever. I wouldn’t read it in the papers, watch it on tv, nothing. The only time I seen something on the news was 1992 when Congress was bitching about how violent Mortal Kombat 2 was and the gov was fighting tooth and nail to censor it, then in 1999 the first school shooting happened, and that was Columbian High.

    When that happened it was all over the place, people wouldn’t stop talking about it at school either. Then came the Virgina Tech shooting and that was even more popular than the Columbian high school shooting and the shooter became popular among Incels.

    After that was the terror year of 2002-2003, the Washington Sniper. A Muslim black man had took this 17 year old under his wing because he wanted to kill all the whites and turn America into a Muslim only nation. He was later executed, but the boy was spared and sentenced to death row much later after he was held in prison for a very long time. The Sniper name was John Allen Muhammad. The guy looks like a really young Obama. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Allen_Muhammad

Remember the charlatan Erdogan who used to wear Palestinian scarf around his shoulder to fool the public.
    He will be assassinated by either the Syrian people or the West/Israel in the near future. Syrian people are civilized people and have no stomach for a scum and traitor like al jolani. Al Jolani is a lackey of the West to be used against Iran and Shiites. Since these terrorists have taken power with the help of their SUPERIORS, have done nothing but killing Shiites and destroying their shrines, setting them on FIRE. Number of people have been killed. One day they will be burned in Syrians’ anger and that day is not far away, because no civilized people will allow scum of humanity be established in their country.

When Russia made her threat we should have moved with all haste to let her know we take her threat serioiusly and that said simply would not be permitted to stand unchallanged – period.

    Instead since 2022 and pehaps since 2014, we have been blinking, instead of moving the US into a defensive posture for poitential war. If Ukraine opts to allow Russia to have 1/3 of her country. That is Ukraine’s choice and as such Russia wins.

    ISIS is pure MOSSAD. It’s fake name (al-Sham??!!)makes it ‘Israeli Secret Intelligence Service’ ie the MOSSAD. THAT is why they will never attack their Masters, the ones who armed and trained, financed and hospitalised their butchers during the assault on Syria. As for CJ Werleman, posing as a salafist nut-case, I would bet that, like ‘al-Baghdadi’ he’s purely kosher. Setting Sunni against Sh’ia is CENTRAL to the ‘Zionist Plan for the Middle East’ of Oded Yinon and numerous others.

    The head of this “Palestine 2” missile is painted to match the color and pattern of a Palestinian keffiyeh – how stylish. But, since this missile is supposed to remind you of a keffiyeh-wearing “Palestinian” badass it should have been made much thicker to match the girth of your typically overweight “Palestinian.” Well, at least this missile shares its relationship to the Houthis as a mountain of falafel does to the “Palestinians:” it was free to them (i.e. somebody else paid for it).

The Houthis are calling the shots. That’s quite the accomplishment is itself and in showing how pitifully little “Bang for the Buck” the US taxpayer gets in its multi-trillion dollar military investments.

  162. I had never thought of the Eagle wasn’t a formal emblem. I have always taken it for granted. And I further found it interesting that it only now, is it formalized. And I think I understand why. Is inevitable that discusions around events even tangentially related to isarel includes that advocacy that Israel key to end times prophecy.

    One of the tricky aspects of that discussion was that in identifying metaphors as nations, there is no formal reference to a nation as an Eagle. Meaning that th US is not one of the major power players in those evnts. That by the time those events occur, there is no US and there is some question whether there any eagle symbology. And then I came across these this morning:

    https://biblehub.com/revelation/8-13.htm#:~:text=The%20eagle%2C%20in%20biblical%20symbolism%2C%20often%20represents%20swiftness,urgency%20and%20gravity%20of%20the%20message%20it%20bears.

    https://heraldofhope.org.au/great-eagle-of-revelation/

    https://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/rev-813-angel-or-eagle/

    there is a strong and persistent press to justify US conduct via scripture. Th eagle, if that is actually the reference because there is some debate about the interpretation whether ithe reference is to an eagle of a messenger (not specifically an eagle) . But having the bib;e identify the US as the good guys and protector — goes a long way to making a case for bible prophecy and the US role in the same.

    just an observation.

    Benjamin Franklin had your same opinion of the Bald Eagle and wanted to have the Turkey be the new nation’s symbol.

    Not exactly.

    The “real story” is that while Benjamin Franklin did not actively campaign for the turkey to be the national bird, he did express a negative opinion about the Bald eagle in a private letter to his daughter, calling it a “bird of bad moral character” because it would often steal food from other birds, essentially criticizing its ethics; however, this was a casual comment and he never officially proposed the turkey as a replacement for the national bird.

    Assigning human characteristics to animals is a dicey proposition.

    Lions are usually held in high regard by humans, but lions too “steal” food from hyenas, leopards, cheetah, dogs, and even other lions.

    Most casual observers do not realize the amount of time birds spend perched. Flying is an energy-intensive task, so most birds economize and fly only when necessary to eat or mate, even hummingbirds.

    However, it is a big mistake to think that the Bald eagle is not a good hunter. Of course its favorite food is fish, and Bald eagles are quite skilled at spotting a fish swimming near the surface before flying in and catching it in their massive talons. This is a learned skill and many of the eagles seen feeding on carrion are first-year birds, but even the adults are not likely to ignore an easy meal.

    When they’re hungry enough to expend the energy, Bald eagles easily catch even some flying birds, like the Starling in the image, a species that is apparently either too stupid to evade the eagle or too stupid to recognize the Bald eagle as a threat, but you can be sure the the Bald eagle’s menu is long and varied.

    Starlings are not native to N. America and are displacing native Red-headed woodpeckers and Bluebirds from their nesting cavities, and Starlings and the non-native English sparrow both played a big role in the decline of the Eastern bluebird after some idiots released the Eurasian starling in New York in the 1890, so here’s a big hooray for Bald Eagles!

    And let’s hope they start hunting English sparrows, another nasty introduced bird that has led to the decline of several native species in N. America.

    For whatever reason, the moment that Western welfare is cutoff to all these so-called poor, innocent, deserving “refugees” they will immediately go on a violent, destructive, and even murderous rampage: stores will be looted, homes robbed, and people attacked.

    It should be said too that it was the U.S. Government that saved the Bald eagle (and Peregrine falcon) from extinction in the U.S. by banning most uses of DDT in 1972.

    Pesticides and insecticides continue to be used to increase agricultural yields, which proponents of chemical use argue would drop significantly if weeds and insects weren’t controlled with the chemical agents.

    Your reaction to the chemicals may vary, of course, but it’s always a good practice to rinse well fruits and vegetables before eating, not that washing them off will necessarily remove all the chemical residues in your produce.

    Getting back to the eagles, the White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) of Eurasia is very similar in appearance and life history to our Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) of N. America, and forms a sister pair with it, but has a pale tan head and pure white tail feathers.

    The White-tailed eagle is slightly larger than our Bald eagle and is one of the four largest eagle species in the world, along with the Stellar’s sea eagle, Harpy eagle, and Philippine eagle, all very powerful and impressive looking birds, not to overlook the Golden eagle, African crowned eagle or Martial eagle, but none of these majestic raptors is quite as striking in appearance as our Bald eagle, and I’m quite content to have it not only as our national bird, but also our national symbol.

    It certainly is a good idea to be wary of government. No doubt and do not disagree. And it is a good idea to be discerning of information. And it is certainly healthy to be informed. And no one would be hurt by developing critical thinking skills.

    And there are certainly a multiplicity of sources.

    But some knowledge deficits are worse than others and some deficits are meaningless. Just because the government lies or errs on some issue does not mean they are utterly worthless. Value rating on content to sense making. Does what is being said make sense. And is what makes sense accurate or true, real. And then to what the agenda of the information.

    Enough US servicemen and women have first hand accounts of the camps. The Germans involved admit the camps and the killings. If one includes nonjews, the number is closer to 8-10 million. Whatever the agenda, the information is overwhelmingly in favor to the act Germany decided to round up millions of hr citizens and citizens of other countries encamp them under inhuman conditions, engaged in slave labor and further sought to annialate them. The mst important sources are out the mouths of Germans. One can debate the numbers, but the reality is without question.

    I am unaware of any formal instruction about the emblem of the eagle. But doubting what I knew has little or no impact on whether I can judge events in Germany, Vietnam, Cambodia, or any number of other subjects. I have listened to jedges lie, attempt brow beat, coerce agreement, attempt to cover up error at the expense of plaintiffs. I have on more than one occasion listen to police officers lie destroying peoples lives, schools engage in malicious prosecution to avoid their own jump the shark conduct —

    and I have to conclude that your claim or suggestion that a lack of knowledge one one issue or aspect of an issue does by definition conclude that all things by government are conspired attempts to brainwash or that even if that were the case hamper one’s ability to know that a brainwashing is taking place.

    Your suggestion is such an overgeneralization such as make any every conversation on matters of government moot and without meaning in evaluating the same. There is a dialectic . . .

    A person in my opinion can accept that millions of people were killed by deliberate act and at the same time understand that said event is overused as a means to shut down discussion on another issue unrelated to said events.

    Simple truth, better reasoning, more complete logical structure, superior empiricism do not seem to matter very much to the average Joe, Boobus Americus and Boobus Europeeonus. Dismaying it is.

    At the very least, I should hope that a majority have perceived a chink in their chain mail that could use a further investigation and possible remedial action.

    Back in northern Illinois, my (then) wife and I had a house built. We engaged the services of a guy who grew, sold and transplanted trees. He had a college degree in biology but found that he could make more money in the tree business.

    I was at his tree farm, looking over which evergreens I wanted, when I heard some loud noises. I found out that this guy’s dad raised peregrine falcons and gyrfalcons. He took me over to the nests so that I could look at the birds. The birds did NOT like visitors!

    At a different house, I had a couple of tall antenna towers for my ham radio hobby. One tower, which was 85′ tall, had a stack of large antennas on it and the other tower, being 130′ tall, had only one large antenna on it. Occasionally a red-tailed hawk would perch on the tall tower, all by himself. It would stay up there for long periods of time, just looking over the countryside.

    The shorter tower with the stack of antennas attracted turkey vultures. One day there were 17 turkey vultures perched on the antennas. They were HUGE and heavy birds. They would sometimes move the elements of one of the antennas, so that the elements would not be parallel to the ground. I had a very long driveway there, with trees that grew on the lot line. Many times I would walk down the driveway and there would be a lot of turkey vultures perched in those trees, talking over the day’s business.

    Unlike red-tailed hawks, which are loners, turkey vultures are very sociable birds and enjoy hanging out with each other.

    you need to dig a little deeper into the reason your own government has pursued policies, to tear the near east into pieces, steal their lands and resources and then transplant their populations into your country, in order to divide and conquer “their own” people. your blaming the wrong people for the wrong reasons, why?

Not one “Christian” western power backed Armenia’s claim to that land which would have inserted a potentially powerful Christan country into middle east politics of today… that’s how you know Christendom as a political power on this planet was finished by WWI… the fake khazarians had taken over all of the west by then and the jew bolsheviks had taken over mother Russia… Armenia’s historical protector.

    Zionist Putin was working against Iran in Syria to pressure Assad to accept normalization with Israel.
    The Kremlin with then-Mossad chief Yossi Cohen in a bid to wean Syria away from Iran and Hezbollah. Russia in the past voted against Yemen, and will go against Yemen as soon as feels her ally the genocidal Israel is in danger. Russia is protecting genocidal Israel like the US/UK.

    Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, said that Sanaa has a broad target bank in occupied Palestine.
    We say to the Americans, the British, and the Zionist regime that we have the power and the will to respond to their threats, he added.
    “We will target your military and political commanders and we have a wide bank of targets of you,” he concluded.

    Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity. Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,948 people and wounded another 67,459 individuals, come to an end.
    Does Zionist Russia help Yemen against Jewish genocide in GAZA or like in Syria is in bed with Israel, US, UK, Germany?

    I had forgotten all about those neutron bombs we first heard about back in the Reagan days, I didn’t think that any of them were actually produced. Anyways, this commenter was talking about a genuine nuclear bomb being used in Lebanon, a bomb which hasn’t been used, and then only twice, since it was dropped on two Japanese cities in August of 1945.

    Of course, a nuclear bomb being used this month would be huge news, it would also make plenty of radiation, something that a $50 geiger counter could easily detect and quickly prove or disprove this (I think) lamebrained rumor.

    if you’ve never met a palestinian how do you know their character?

    I met a few “Palestinians” in Jordan at the start of the second Iraq war. One was my taxi driver (he got very excited when I told him I was an American), the others I met on the streets in Amman. They were pretty much like most of the other Muslims I have met in Morocco, Egypt, and Turkey: conniving, deceitful, lying, faking friendship in the hopes of financial gain. It was laughable at how easy it was to see through “Palestinian”/Muslim BS, they aren’t nearly as good as Jews are at deception.

    Obviously there are some ok “Palestinians,” they’re the ones who believe least in the Quran. But any true believer of Islam, because of the tenets of Islam, is a natural enemy of non-Muslims; they’ve been taught their entire life to hate the infidel (me) and can therefore cheat me, hurt me, and even kill me, as I saw happen with the Muslim terrorist attacks while living in Brussels.

    The one “Palestinian” I remember most was some flabby, hairy, 20-something punk in Missouri who was spitting on people and justifying it by saying it was a part of his “Palestinian” culture. I remember thinking, as I saw him spitting on people on tv, that if he had spat on me I’d have punched his teeth down his throat while saying this is my American cultural response to your “Palestinian” culture.

    As for the USA meddling in the Middle East: I’m against it. Let the Jews and the Muslims kill each other without any American involvement. I hate that the USA has been suckered into supporting Israel, fighting for Israel, dying and paying for Israel. I also can’t stand Muslims for how they act towards non-Muslims, towards the infidel, towards me (hence my various fistfights with Muslim punks in Europe).

    from the article:

    since the neutron bomb produced little or no radioactive fallout or residual radiation, the target area could be reoccupied within a matter of hours.

  219. it is a tactical nuclear weapon. many people believe that this is what israel used, to blow up the grain silo in beirut.

    That was a tremendous explosion caused, I am told, by 2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse at the port being set off. A Jew owned the ship that was transporting the nitrate to Africa and, over a money issue, abandoned it in Beirut causing many to think it was an intentional setup.

    Living for years in Alaska along the Pacific Ocean (Ketchikan, Juneau, Anchorage) and often working on various vessels I saw many, many, hundreds of Bald Eagles.

    One of my favorite Bald Eagle memories was seeing one behind our long-lining vessel talon-grab a large 15-20 lb. Red Snapper floating behind in our wake. The large Snapper was bycatch that, by law, we weren’t allowed to keep as we were legally fishing for Black Cod. The Bald Eagle swooped down, grabbed on, and, flapping with all its might, got that Snapper about ten feet airborne before letting go because of its weight. The Bald Eagle kept on trying but after several attempts, and getting the Snapper less high in the air with each attempt, finally gave up on what would have been, if successful, its greatest catch.

    Russia can’t do another country’s fighting for them. The USA should have done the same in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and elsewhere. The whole world would now be MUCH better off, including the USA, if we had stayed out of those wars. Putin, unlike the USA, has a better understanding of when and where to fight, with Russia fighting in Ukraine and not in Libya and Syria being the perfect examples.

    What’s fake is Hollywood, not the Bald eagle’s call.

    People who get their information from Hollywood or think that Hollywood’s representations are accurate will go through life like Caitlin Johnson thinking they are making some profound statement by pointing out Hollywood fakery, but at least you’re impressed.

    The Bald eagle is a striking, handsome and powerful bird of prey that serves well as our national symbol even without a loud or distinctive call.

    The Red-tailed hawk is also a handsome bird of prey that is not unlike a small Golden eagle in some habits and appearance. Our widespread and familiar American hawk just happens to have a more distinctive call than either of our American eagles, so apparently some ignoramus in Hollywood decided the hawk’s call sounded more aquiline, or something, but virtually all birders recognize the Red-tailed hawk’s distinctive call.

    However, several birds are known to mimic the Red-tail’s call, including jays and starlings, that can fool even experienced birders.

    And of course, whenever you watch a Hollywood movie, even The Birds, expect to be fooled.
