Decolonizing Trauma Care takes divestment from Empire Violence to end violent oppression, suppression and aggression, in order to create the post-colonial space to address the effects of colonial trauma.

Many “post-colonial” communities, don’t actually have an interruption of suppression and coercion from the Empire, economically and politically in particular, to be truly and fully post-colonial in their recovery stage and are often coerced by outside forces to re-enact internalized colonial harm laterally on their own community members tragically — here we name the violence of puppets and acclimating gatekeepers taken out on their own community and neighboring community members. These proxy violence enactors get rewarded and personally enriched by a Western Hegemonic Global Empire that conducts proxy and covert domination operations daily it seems and inspires and applauds micro instances of these violences in their marketplace and institutions, even calling this violence by a million different faces liberal progress! We see this double speak in the liberal abuse of woke language while enacting antithetic proxy violence behavior, sometimes with and sometimes without awareness of the violence they are enacting. Ignorance does not mean that accountability must go by the way side. The woke language isn’t the issue (even though authoritarian leaders may try to convince the masses it is), it’s the violent co-opting of woke language to cloak and sell Empire enriching violence that has managed to weaponize liberatory language in the name of Empire violence. It’s up to the people collectively to keep the language of liberation and reject the framework of Hegemonic Violence that gets dishonestly coupled with liberatory language by Empire Vandals of various political affiliations.

To further interrupt the covert violence, here we post some updates on global and local news. This is an action to support people who are being oppressed and isolated by the state to have their stories told and witnessed, interrupting suppressive enforced isolation on people who are marginalized. It also interrupts the gaslighting that is often employed by the Empire to keep people tangled in psychological distress and confusion.

This is especially relevant as we witness peaceful anti-war, anti-apartheid, anti-genocide protesters are being asked to “reflect on their actions,” a common gaslighting phrase from those gatekeeping for the maintenance of a policing/authoritarian establishment over the needs of humans and humanity on the whole. Again, is the tactic to uphold and/or assimilate into an amoral empire built on the necropolitics of racializing, impoverishing and terrorizing/attacking it’s own and other global citizens, as the U.S. Government has been doing for decades? Or is the goal to dismantle hegemonic systems of violent, race to the top, one-person-left-standing economic, political, physical and psychological violence that eventually deprive everyone of dignity and human rights? The latter is decolonizing, the former is assimilating, bootstrapping, physically, economically and psychologically violent as a long term strategy in any scale.

- A video of what losing a home means: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VNuqIGIZ6jk

There's no moral ground for being displaced by foreign invaders and then returning hundreds of years later to old native land and pushing other co-natives who were able to remain there of their homes, all for your own family's personal sense of "security," in a second home! We all mourn the original displacement which happened at the hands of other invaders, the co-native Palestinians never did that! and they are NOT white supremacists who enacted vile anti-Semitism against Jewish people. In fact, over the centuries, Palestinians have provided refuge and maintained a native population of Jewish community members. Euro descended colonizers purposely distort and lie about history to avoid simple accountability and self esteem building relational repair, opting instead to bully others into giving them a pass for their outrageously amoral behavior. Learn to mourn and grieve, don't re-enact that violence on other innocent people and demand that they take it while you concentrate and shut them up and get worried they will want their homes back, and then incredulously go murdering them -- why is anyone entitled to take over and live in others' homes? That is psychotic! The U.S. is a squatter murder and displacement colonizer state on top of Turtle Island. It has no justice to be where it is, but is taking up the space and demanding everyone be okay with that with no remorse and demands that everyone have amnesia to it's murder spree founding and continued genocide of natives, the descendants of the enslaved and newly displaced and trafficked. Here we are watching Israel, a U.S.-British Proxy State, murdering, displacing, and taking homes and lives with a self proclaimed amoral murder edict that it has decreed to be above question. Why are Zionist entitled to displace other native Palestinians that, when this whole stealing land and homes project was conceived 130 years ago, had never hurt them and were in fact their safe refuge for so many hundreds and even thousands of years....a Palestine that was a co-existing community of many religions and walks of life, rich in culture, integrity, education, dignity and history! What moral is there to decreeing the Palestinians as less than because someone who has been seen as "white" wants their land and is then aloud to go on a displacing spree, taking their homes and gaslighting the world into thinking Israeli Zionist settlers and Zionist funders of the murder project are the victims of their own thieving and murdering project? None, no morals at all. No logic, no sanity. Stealing peoples homes and fearing they will want their homes back and using that as justification to mass murder them is full insanity. Only racism allows "confused" white American masses to be "confused" that stealing brown peoples' houses is not okay, because that "confusion" is the foundation most Americans have stomached as what gives them an infallible right to live without healthy shame about empire building and continuing to genocide natives on stolen land. Rather than mourning the loss of moral choice making that led to these awful inhumane projects, and making meaningful relational repairs that could set the whole world back on a healthy track, they want to sit fetted and unquestioned on stolen native land and continue to genocide, displace and dismantle native populations everywhere. What edict can decree this behavior as acceptable anywhere? According to many anti-Zionist Jews, Zionists are misusing the term Judaism to defend this violent project. Oppressing and murdering is in NO WAY part of Judaism. What we understand is the self centered motivations of founding settler colonial Zionists, cult brainwashing of descendant Zionists, and America's unexamined belief that murdering brown people for a murder economy of stability, is allowing this wanton selfish murder project to continue, especially in Palestine. This is not Judaism, this is settler colonial racism!!!! and it must stop NOW. Enough has always been enough from moment one of this murderous nonsense against the Palestinians and so many others! End the oppression, end the murder, give these people proper medical care, stop murdering their physicians, stop murdering their press, given them the funds to rebuild their lives without putting them in debt to the murderous Zionist-U.S. Government- British Empire hell project!!!!

5/29/24

The U.S./British nepo-colonial project has falsely normalized such gruesome heinous acts of dehumanization, mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide in the name of one political body’s desire for dominance and maintenance of dominance. Over the years its so unquestioned as stability and normalcy, that conversations about what to do about copy-cat serial murdering and genociding nations beocmes challenging for empire groomed and co-opted members of the public, which is most people who consume mass media and benefit from industrialized enslavement and trafficking economy, th U.S. public middle and upper classes as an example, have a hard time to wrap their minds around understanding that repetition of this enslavement and trafficking model is dangerous and or amoral in any way.

As one instance, the U.S. Government needs to be legally tried for the ongoing genocide of First Nations People of Turtle Island, as that project is still in process via pipelines, trafficked and missing humans, and continued covert and overt institutional operations that restrict, control, subjugate and undermine sovereignty, economic access, basic dignity and human rights of native peoples on land that the U.S. Government has amorally and illegally thieved and occupied, and continues to occupy and expand onto to this day! A quick researching of how many toxic pipeline and waste dumping projects have been diverted onto lands that native peoples have been sequestered onto by the U.S. Government (self legitimized colonial occupiers) reveals that this project is ongoing and intentional. No, this form of violence is not moral no matter how many times amoral people have done it before. It is mentally violent and disturbing. To take power and legitimize bullying in all forms is a sickness and violent, whether done by the government directly, or by U.S. corporations and/or individuals that keep enacting this violence towards the native population with impunity, it is clear that this is an ongoing genocide and has no signs of abating, let alone turning around and facing a moral direction. Any moral and ethical gains won are through hard work and sacrifice often of native peoples and U.S. Citizens willing to look at these hard truths and divest from existing as an occupational force on the land with the groomed and clueless masses. The U.S. public daily lives in and speaks in ways that reinforce politicide of native peoples, who still exist here and have a right to exist with dignity and humane, eco-sustainable and relational living conditions!

Of course we also then need to look at the continued undermining and subjugating of African and LatinX/a/o descendants on the mainland and Island communities and nations. A quick look at Haiti or Cuba with a native history, not a whitewashed empire based history, gives clarity of the smothering grip of U.S. Empire which will not allow any group of people to regain sovereignty under its watch. If it’s sense of economic domination is threatened, the U.S. Government seems to give itself permission to strike at anyone with little to no consideration, but lots of feel good language to co-opt public buy in, because the public ultimately is comprised of people who want to do the right thing, but have no idea how groomed they are all the time to co-sign the actions of a vicious occupier and/or bully, the U.S. Government. Some displaced peoples are so removed from the root of the economic conditions that uprooted them, they only see the surface conditions and the U.S. Government arriving as the hero of a violence which they often seeded covertly. So with little knowledge or understanding that they are now supporting the interconnected violence that uprooted them, they are willing to support the U.S. Government’s violent actions elsewhere. Sometimes they will say they don’t care, because at least they are safer near the eye of the occupier than being in the grips of it, “so what are you gonna do, the death machine has to kill someone, it’s okay if it’s not me/my family. I can’t afford to care, that’s what put us in the crosshairs and grips of a bully in the first place.” The eat or be eaten mentality recycles itself and gets more virulently cold in expression with each turn in this way. This is the root of lateralized oppression, internalized, incentivized and acted out within marginalized communities. It’s the basis for occupiers recruiting marginalized community members as proxies, puppets, tokens and mascots to do their empire violence for hire and BIPOC, pinkwash or rags-to riches wash it as feel good diversity. This is one way the DEI movement got hijacked by the Western Hegemony and twisted by opportunist or naive marginalized folks caught in the empire domination game. DEI at it’s core is not inherently violent, but it has become another tool in the hands of The Empire and it takes clarity to spot the difference.

That’s why some say, as an example of lateralized violence, the empire violence enacted by opportunist and assimilating BIPOC/GM, QT and/or peoples formerly in the clenches of Empire based poverty is even more cold and ruthless than the violence enacted by their white, aggressively heterodominating and/or class elite counterparts. These are just some examples of marginalized communities subject to empire games of division. There are other marginalized identities and communities and other methods of divisiveness employed by the empire. Of course, the very creation of marginalized identities and communities is an Empire social and cultural project used to manufacture consent to enact violence towards people now deemed as other.

Yet through all of this, some displaced peoples and their descendants have so fresh the sense of understanding of this violent system that they continue to push back on the occupier in solidarity with stopping harm everywhere as best they can and with the understanding they can access. The era of social media from multiperspective platforms has made views of the empire and understanding of it more accessible than ever before and of course this threatens the empire and people can witness again how the empire controls information spin and access and then scapegoats truth tellers to maintain dominance and subjugation in its mass plunder, mass murder campaigns globally and domestically.

Then of course we can easily witness the overt, covert and proxy empire holding, coercion, undermining and decimation of communities, nations, ecosystems and land throughout the global south, many island nations and in places not as documented elsewhere, nonethless impacted by empire. If we understand ecology, then there is an easy undertanding that violence covert, overt or proxy, affects the environment and all beings interdependent with and within it everywhere. No human is above that law of consequence, even if a private space transport container takes them to another planet to escape temporarily, while continuing to exploit others to mine the earth and pillage another planet selfishly on their behalf, all under some guise that they are acting nobly to explore for the good of all humans to leave the planet they have destroyed almost single handedly. They will not evacuate all humans from harmful conditions, on earth or in outer space, this empire violence has to continue to cultivate a mining labor class to support its exploits. Humans are dependent on earth no matter how class privileged and lacking in compassionate and empathic intelligence they become. That is the outcome of such gripping power usurpation — no human is designed to command that much power without co-holding the corollary repsonsibilities. That much usurpation of power irresponsibly rots the psychological and psychic core of any individual. That is another core issue with class politics when some people acquire and exploit wealth as power to the detriment of others, some from hypocritical fear of facing the dire poverty they are plunging others into with their holding, and others from sheer entitled greed and belief in their superiority and the correlating need to protect their supposed superiority and the myth of their superiority at any cost. Myths of superiority are often slippery as they sound benign and self caring to the individual benefitting from the privilege, but what superiority myths and related pracfices from actual self care is that they are laden with a practice of being willing to cut off care for humanity of others in order to persist in violent strategies or if ever they perceive the slightest obstruction or quibble exists with their unfettered sense of right of way, and that cutting off of care has been normalized as “right” by all sorts of noble sounding fluff e.g. ‘we are doing it for their good’ to ‘the planet is better without these parasites’. It’s obviously hypocritical thinking to any truly unbiased onlooker, as the truth is there is nothing noble about being self-deceived about being better than and entitled to act as a classist parasite on the rest of existence.

Witnessing of the Western Hegemonic Empire’s actions and their myths of superiority are surfacing now with alarming speed for some and predictable pace for others, nonethless the discrepancies between observable fact and blatant lies are becoming harder and harder for a growing number of impacted people to continue to normalize. The truth is the Western Hegemonic Empire with the U.S. Government at the helm is a death machine that has no idea that it is set to consume everyone, including itself. It will not stop itself and needs anything with approximately similar or same force to get its attention to stop it. That is a big ask for enablers awaiting their turn to sit on the throne and ruling court of empire to call out and stop all this violence that they are on the waitlist to profit off of. It’s up to the impacted and waking masses to reclaim agency and call out that this myth of ‘oppressor entitled violence as benign’ is amoral, illogical, dangerous and genocidal and eco-cidal at its end point.

End empire violence. End normalizing an economy of mass murder, destruction and ecoside. Consider active socially engaged ahmisa (non harm), rather than a privileged, checked out, passive ahimsa, which is inherently classist and violent collusion in the hands of the empire. Seek out progressive news and press that shares the voices of the oppressed and the impacted and what they are needing for support. Consider acting in solidarity with the oppressed by calling for an end to empire and oppressor violence anywhere where your voice can have impact. Don’t underestimate the power of any one voice, yours or anothers and use them to end the usurpation of power and the enactment of grandiose violence everywhere. It’s one violence, it’s one movement to stop it.

Ending the Death Penalty

The Missouri Supreme Court set an execution date of June 11th, 2024, for David Hosier. Over the coming week's we'll be sharing more information about David, but right now we need you to Sign and share the petition asking Governor Parson to grant clemency today!

From MADPMO: “The death penalty perpetuates a cycle of violence and does not serve as an effective deterrent to crime. Clemency for David Hosier would demonstrate compassion and a commitment to justice that goes beyond retribution.”

They also mention that there is often, and in this case, lack of direct and reliable evidence, often unfair trial setup, and these charges often get carried out on poor people who cannot access or pay for the legal support they need.

The death penalty, just like the death and wage gap, is a form of institutionalized penury, wherein people with privilege who levy laws are intentionally ignorant and/or willing to marginalize, target and incriminate people with little to no access to move out of oppressive poverty. This has sometimes been in governmental and privatized structures that are designed to extract relatively all or most of the earnings or little accumulated wealth from the poor and working classes to keep them indentured and dependent on the state and corporate strategies.

Continued Debunking of Rape Allegations. These allegations have been used immorally to rouse public support for continued apartheid and mass murder

• 5/8/24 Journalist Briahna Joy Gray debunks the renewed claims without evidence, linked here.

Found Mass Graves of hundreds of civilians including children, elderly and medical professionals; People Buried Alive; Organ Theft; IOF/IDF (Israeli Occupation/Defense Force) using Palestinians as Human Shields as usual in Gaza; …all from one of the recent obliterations of a hospital by the IOF/IDF (Israeli Offensive/Occupying Forces), updated links.

• 4/27/24 Re-post

• Hundreds of children, elderly, adult civilians including medical professionals found in mass graves update
  Gentle Intro News Link here.
  Many International News Outlets have covered this story. This is just one link.

• Activation alert— graphic description of reality: mass graves of people some found bound and tied, some executed, some in medical scrubs, some elderly, some children, many mutilated…looks like some possibly soiled and may have been buried alive, indications of bodies opened and organs illegally stolen and likely trafficked…
  Graphic footage of mass grave recovery with so e forensic analysis and invitation for 3rd party analysis linked here.

• Please remember the humanity of the people found dead here and those mourning and doing this recovery effort. This is truly horrific treatment of any people, each one with lives, loved ones, culture, dreams, hopes… Other atrocities do not diminish or change this one (as this is where the Israeli Zionists tend to deflect and act as if the world did not mourn their losses — not true, we are all mourning, that’s why we want to end this vicious occupation which Freud and Einstein warned us would lead to where we are today) All losses matter and none can be used to excuse this violent genocidal mass murder.

  
  They are asking for a third party to come in and do an investigation — they are waiting to see if racist Western countries will allow that support to be brought in or will they try to cover their violence up (U.S., London, German, Austrian and Israeli Governments need to be watched carefully here, they are not credible third parties as possible co-enactors of genocide)

  Will people respond with the same humanizing offered to Ukranian civilians who were matryred?
  How much evidence do we need? When we say evidence, we really mean, how many more victims of cruel, machiavellian torture, abuse and slaughter are we going to allow Israeli-U.S.-U.K.-German Western Coalition of Genocidal Governments and their racist enablers to continue to murder? Ther are not numbers or evidence, they are people!!!! Please see the website wearenotnumbers.org
  This violence makes clear the racist ideology of the West that has made this and the atrocities across the global south possible for centuries. Remember the #1 U.S. Governmental xport is racism! It is so insidious that Western cultures are allergic to having their racism brought to their attention — we call that allergic reaction to truth, “fragility,” wherein people want to believe they are morally righteous without interrogating what they actively participate in or silently allow to happen in their name.

• People can also educate themselves out of a denialism that allows complicity in racial and capitalist violence nationally in the U.S. and around the world. It’s important to hear from a variety of sources and ask for observable facts, versus give in to coercion or demands that people be trusted because they are exercising white or wealth based privilege.

Campus Protest Updates
5/13/24link here

• UCLA’s Daily Bruin publishes an account of the pro-Zionist/pro settler colonialism attack of the anti-genocide protesters link here.

• Op/Ed: How is it responsible that Duke University has Seinfeld speak at a commencement after his wife was the chief donor to one of the most violent pro-Zionism protests on a campus at UCLA this past month? Doctors at Ronald Reagan Hospital in L.A. were at the ready each night when the pro-Zionism supporters attacked the quietly resting anti-genocide/anti-apartheid protesters in the middle of the night, causing physical bodily harm. We know this because we were at the hospital by happenstance talking with medical staff that night and they were watching the footage streamed live and readying staff in case. From what we witnesses, the protesters were all clear that they were not to engage with pro-settler colonial agitators, as was even seen on agitator videos. Are U.S. Higher Education Institutions more beholden to the radical support of a foreign Ethnostate dedicated to ethnically cleansing the co-natives off the land in Historic Palestine, or are they willing to protect civilians, children and young adults, at home and everywhere? We hope the U.S. Government and Higher Education Institutions will demonstrate their dedication to their own youth civilians by not violating their freedom of speech and peaceful assembly rights and by not allowing them to be battered by pro-colonial apartheid enthusiasts, and not having the peuceful student protesters unlawfully detained by the police. In one of the most repulsive abusive uses of police force, the police stood down while anti-genocide protesters were being beaten with metal poles and having fireworks, chemicals and maybe even mice deployed into their encampment by pro-Zionism protesters. The police were then brought in the next day and night to arrest and violently tear down the encampment of peacful anti-genocide protesters, even the day after the anti-genocide protesters were attacked by pro-Zionism/pro-settler colonial protesters. Why were the pro-mass murder violators not arrested and instead given space to scream, spit and beat students?

  Having visited the anti-genocide/ anti-apartheid encampment at UCLA on different days, we witnessed people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds gathered together, praying together, sharing meals and education. They were peaceful, there was clear call for freedom of the Palestinian people from apartheid and mass murder campaigns by Zionists. There was a clearly written goal of having the universtity divest from companies/funding that are directly involved in apartheid and mass murder of Palestinians.

  On the third or fourth afternoon there was pindrop silence amongst hundreds of students in peaceful solidarity, even as police were lining up members of the anti-genocide protest to be arrested during the day. The only sound was a loud pro-Zionist agitator shouting at the silent protesters to take off the masks they were wearing —taunting them as “hiding their faces,” even though it was clear that the students were wearing the face masks to responsibly prevent the spread of infections while in close quarters.

  The anti-genocide protests have been peacefully co-lead by Palestinian American and Jewish students side by side in solidarity. It’s anti-semitic to monolith and characterize all Jews as Zionists, discounting their own desire to not be identified with a project of settler colonialism and oppression. Zionists may not understand that settler colonialism, genocide and apartheid is what is being carried out in the name of their ideology, and it is important to understand that for 130+ years, illegal land seizures and mass taunting and killing of Palestinians and routine destruction of their homes, cultural and learning institutions, communities…whole families, villages, towns…completely destroyed has been the regular course of action to “clear” the land for an exclusive Jewish ethnostate, that not all Jewish Community Members are aligned with creating in this way, on top of the ruins and mass graves of native/co-native Palestinians. Palestine always historically included people of various religious backgrounds co-existing. The idea of inventing a democratic, multi-theocratic state where all people are free, including Jews and Palestinians together, was and still is Historic Palestine. Palestine is not a threat to democracy or co-existence, but it is in the way of an exclusive ethnostate that desires to occupy the land for themselves, even to merciless ends as is being demonstrated day after day, year after year. Ceasefire is never enforced for ZIonists who routinely “mow the lawn,” carpet bomb, expel people and/or weld front doors to trap people in their homes and make certain streets exclusive for Zionist travel only. This has been video documented for decades. Extremist Zionist setter colonialism that is dedicated to exclusivity and chauvinist policies of dehumanizing Palestinians needs to be looked at and divested from as an ideology. Chauvinist policies are a challenge everywhere, whether it’s via U.S. Manifest Destiny and the resurfacing of it via the Proud Boys campaign or it’s the caste system in India, what seems like a call to excellence, belies a second priority to underclass and/or extinguish people seen as “other” as less than.

  Again Einstein, Freud, Pappe were not aligned with the underlying violence of the Zionist project, so it is historically consistent that acclaimed scholars and academics would dissent as they are en masse in this moment. The clear goal of the protest being to end the brutal occupation, oppression and mass murder (plausible genocide) of Palestinians. End Imperialism everywhere, freedom for all peoples!

  • When liberal Zionist Jews, which does not represent all Jews, conflate criticism of Zionists in Israel with a feeling of “lack of safety” this is the results: link here — the wanton starvation, murder, orphaning, maiming, penury … of Palestinians whose land they still feel righteously entitled to steal. Zionists have industrialized the murder of Palestinians. As a famous Palestinian author has said, I paraphrase, ‘do they expect us to politely suicide ourselves to death.” End the genocide, apartheid and mass murder campaigns to kill native people for their land. The burning of Palestinian children is not new for Zionists; here is an interview with a father whose small 5 year old (kindergarten age) son was burned to death on a bus in Israel years ago: link here. This story is one of hundreds over the years.

  • Violence against a foreign embassy is not something that Palestinian solidarity protesters are in solidarity with. For the most part protests worldwide for Palestinian rights have been peaceful, interrupting life as usual and solid in message to ceasefire, end occupation and divest from colonialsm. It has been a few paid pro-Zionist who are not aligned with Palestinian freedom who have enacted anti-semitic agent provocateur violence. Witnessing what happened in Mexico City, we do not stand with violence towards any embassies, Iranian, Israeli, or others.

• 5/29/24

  • Rabbis Arrested trying to bring food to Gaza, saying the genocide does not reflect their deep humane values! link here to Rabbis speaking up for the values of Judaism in bringing an end to the occupation, mass murder, including ending starvation of Palestinians. They also document the Zionist Israeli project of walling off, occupying and concentrating millions of people in Gaza and starving and bombing them to death by the Israeli Military Forces and a faction of Israeli Zionist citizen colluders. To be clear the occupation and genocide is a colonial settler Zionist project. Not all Jews are Zionists as these rabbis are demonstrating as they say “not in our name.” They shed light on the lie that Israel’s government is trying to get food and critical humanitarian supplies to Palestinians and the corollary lie that the Palestinians are the ones obstructing the food and supplies getting in. The Israeli Government reportedly told the detained Rabbis that they were being arrested for trying to get food to the Palestinians. This is a continuation of British Empire Colonial Violence that starved millions to death in Bengal. Stop the Genocide, orphaning, traumatizing, mass maiming and massive disabling of Palestinians NOW!

• Defending themselves by Bullying. The Grayzone covers the parallels between the aggressive Zionist counter protesters who attack and bully (their own words) peaceful anti-genocide student protesters (see the Great Palestinian March of Return where peaceful protesters were sniped at close raage by the IOF/IDF) as “defense” jus as the Israeli Government practices towards Palestinians. A clip by M. Johnson memorializes Theodore Herzl, often credited father of Zionism, who wrote in his diary of his wish to “spirit [the Palestinians] off their land.”

• 5/23/24 We recognize many people do not know the history of what is being done in their names and with their tax dollars. Many people have bought into a lie that something is too complicated to understand and should be left to power-mad politicians to figure out — that’s a manufactured idea designed to keep people docile and in the dark as mass atrocities are committed in their names.

    At about 9min 40 sec there is an IOF soldier who gives circular logic: ‘all Palestinians are Hamas,’ then when that logic broke down, ‘Hammas is hiding behind civilians’,… and on and on with excuses. As you can witness, the deicision is to mass murder and the logic is constructed to defend that choice no matter the question. This commitment to mass murder Palestinians has been layed out by top Israeli Officials as well, as documented by the South Africans in the ICJ Court Documents.

• Screams without Evidence. (Editor’s Note, later in the same day as this post was written, the editor found the same tagline: Screams Without Evidence, was used by Daniel Mate when speaking on the Bad Hasbara Podcast, linked here.) The baseless NYT gruesome mass rape fantasy fiction article dreamed up by Gettleman, once again discredited, this time by a long overdue AP investigation, proves that allegation of mass rape as a strategy on Oct 7th were FALSE. As Max Blumenthal, electronic intifada, Mondoweiss, and more recently The Intercept all revealed through commonplace journalistic due diligence, AP also concurs the claims are baseless. Once again calling into question the integrity of the Zionist response and the Israeli war cabinet’s relationship to Oct 7th, their lack of effort to bring back and assure safety of hostages, and accept ceasefire and full hostage swap deals with Hamas back in October and November of 2023, which Hamas fully agreed to. NO ONE seems to question why Israel has had 4000+ Palestinian Civilians in military detention on and before Oct 7th, including children, held without charge. No one ques ions why ‘ceasefires’ always include hundreds of killings of Palestinians by Israel — what ceasefire have Palestinians ever had? None. Investigations turn up credible evidenced reports of mass sexual abuse of Palestinian men and boys in the Israeli prisons by IDF/IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) Members, while hours later false allegations of Hamas mass rape get thrown out by Western Mass Media and Governments to distract the public. Why are the rapes of Palestinians which have credible evidence constantly ignored, denied or overshadowed by completely fictionalized reports of Israeli’s being raped? It’s Emmet Till and the completely white supremacist imagination about brown people’s salacious savagery used to substantiate lies about the loss of white women’s virtue at heathen hands all over again, and it’s used to justify mass lynching of bodies racialized as brown. White supremacy is always disgusting, murderous and never surprising. AP Story via Palestine Chronicle linked here.

Jewish Prof. Ilan Pappe, celebrated historian, has authored a new book that traces the history of the rise of Israeli Zionism. Understanding the anti-semitic and caste origins and current operations of Zionism, link here. He also talks about the Lobby’s recent use of the AI bots to try to defame journalists recognizing that they could not win the moral argument. So what will the Lobby have won if their premise is amoral, takes so much strategizing and wreaks utter hell for everyone?

More mass media and major politician LIES! Karen Bass and other California politicians are aiding and abetting war criminals too! A few days ago anti-genocide protesters found out that Zionists were going to have a sale of illegally seized West Bank (Palestinian) land to Zionist Jews only on U.S. soil — that is both a war crime and redlining! The sale was scheduled to happen in West Los Angeles, California, Unites States. The War Criminals who were putting up this redlining sale to Zionist Jewish Purchasers shielded themselves by trying to have this illegal sale happen in a Jewish Synagogue, once again Zionists using Judaism as a cover, as a shield for their illegal actions, when Judaism has nothing to do with war crimes. The mass media and California politicians lined up to falsely defame the anti-genocide and anti-war crimes protesters as anti-semitist worship blockers. Instead, one would think the role of U.S. Elected Officials is to STOP WAR CRIMES and REDLINING! How far does this go? This is going on on U.S. Soil! The Zionists are using the Jewish Faith as a shield for their continued land theft, they are the ones using human shields. The Jewish Faith has nothing to do with Zionism. Zionism is such a sick form of psychopathy and will stop at nothing to groom people — it has always been a multi theocratic death cult bent on using members of the Jewish community as a shield. This violence must STOP!

Here is video footage of Zionists antagonizing and gaslighting protesters. Link here (last third of the video). Credit to Katie Halper for her continued insightful, honest and courageous journalism!

Palestine Chronicle shows footage of a wounded Palestinian strapped to the hood of an IOF military vehicle as it drives away in searing heat. He was not even a person of interest to the IOF — war crimes. The interview is in this article.

The new Zeteo documentary linked here exposing the current mainstream Israeli extremist violence towards Palestinians and the grooming of Zionists in Israel and the diaspora to defend this consistent oppression and violence, all to demand that the Palestinians never return to their own homes. In what world is displacing people and demanding to be seen as noble a moral stance? That’s the principle of a colonial empire world, where all life has no meaning and can be degraded, discarded, and devastated wantonly. Both the liberal and the conservative extremist buy in is extreme and dangerous. It will not relent unless moral awareness prevails and the people of the world say STOP! It must STOP!

exposing the Zionism Grooming Project, how to navigate propagandist media and not fall prey to the grooming.

e.g. Being aware of the use of Anti-Black and Anti-Brown white supremacist’s determinations to spread lies that Palestinians and other BIPOC/GM (Black, Indigenous and other People of Color and Global Majority) people are savages and scary rapists hungry for virtuous white lady flesh - this is all white supremacist imagination which is completely without any basis. As seen with governments and constituents that use white supremacy historically to dominate and conquer people, these lies are used to lynch Black and Brown People and dominate white bodied imagination with false fear to justify enacting ongoing massacres on innocent colonized/oppressed people, all to keep stealing peoples homes, and dignified access to land, water, food, education and health care. This is the violent settler colonial Western (U.S.-Israel-British) governmental and corporate axis that continues to colonize and spread their joint mass murder project everywhere.

Case in point, most Americans are clueless that they live on native land of people still alive and being actively massacred. Most have an imagination that native people are ‘extinct’ and they don’t have to worry about impacting or being accountable to First Nations Peoples anymore. All of America is an ongoing self legitimized squatter and stolen land project on top of Turtle Island and its’ natives who are still struggling for survival from the U.S. and other North American Governments’ ongoing covert and overt massacre projects and encroachment/ethnic cleansing practices.

Most Americans are clueless that the current State of Israel is a relatively young, 130 year old or younger, settler colonial Zionist project that abuses the name of Judaism to violently colonize and ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their native land. Judaism has NEVER been a practice of violence culturally or religiously. Whereas Zionism is an inherent project of domination and mass murdering backed by borrowed secular and religious ideas employed in a cult-like, grooming fashion.

One of the major founders of the Zionist Israeli project is Theodore Herzl; he authored a booklet called The Jewish State which is filled with anti-semitic ideas. This colonial project is anti-semitic towards Palestinians, who are Jewish, Muslim and Christian, and Jewish people who are not Palestinian and may even be primarily European in origin — the Zionist project of the State of Israel keeps all of them in continued uprooted and violent terror. (Link here to investigation of Zionist Netanyahu and Israeli Government Parties relationship to Oct 7th by Ben Swann and Jeremy Loffredo.)

Zionism involves a cult psychosis (link here to an undercover investigation of Zionist humanitarian aid blockage at the border to Gaza) that grooms a sense of exceptionalism and supremacy that allows it’s participants to murder people for their land, much like the U.S. ‘manifest destiny’ cult mass murder doctrine and related brainwashing. See the documentary Israelism and the official dissenting letters from scholars including Einstein and Freud, written back and forth to the Israeli government and kept classified from it’s citizens and donors for decades. The violent Zionist Israeli Government early on tried to find esteemed academic scholars to affirm its settler colonial project and reached out to these academics and their responses were concretely not in favor of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the irreparable harm it would cause Jewish people who were being used for the Zionist project to dominate the Middle Eastern (SWANA — southwest Asia, north Africa, non anglicized geographic term) region. It’s not psychologically sane or safe to engage in oppression plus mass murder of natives or co-natives for any contrived secular or appropriated religious reasoning.

Many orthodox and non orthodox anti-Zionist Jews are against the Zionist project because it uses the name of Judaism and lies that it is protecting semites (people of a particular part of the SWANA region that includes Palestinians and Jews who are not Palestinian, all sharing a common ancestral language root) as a shield for it’s violent colonial settler conquership projects. (Link here to a conversation that begins to unpack the racist origin of the words semite and anti-semite in White Supremacy.) Jews who are against this hegemonic Zionist violence say, “not in our name!” and stand against the violent occupation and mass murder of Palestinians who are and were innocently caught in the settler colonial trap. In fact, many Zionists in the world are not Jewish, and are actually a specific group of evangelical Christians or wealthy elites, including government officials and corporate oligarchs and billionaires, bought into subjugation and extermination of the masses for selfish means. These projects will likely cause the mass extinction of all humans within our lifetimes or the next four generations, if not through continued direct man-made violence, through the continued global manipulation and impact of military and mass eco-ignorant violence of our environment, as well as the direct murdering of those trying to enact conservation from an Indigenous perspective, causing the end of most life on earth, as has already been in motion for the past several decades.

Colonization and Imperial Supremacy in the final count likely is and will be, by far reaching numbers, the leading cause of direct and indirect death, maiming, continued trauma in the mind and body that gets passed down and laterally around, and extinction of most species on the planet, very likely including humans. What little time we have to address and begin to reverse earth impact has been and will likely be consumed by attending to the constant gaslighting of the Imperial project and the hiding in denial of it. Treat people with kindness: don’t make excuses for oppression, including stealing homes, dignity and access to life, end domination! It may be our final time on the planet because of cult psychosis and maniacal behavior of a selfish few and the grooming of the masses into complicit suffocating silence and aggressive lack of awareness; do what you can to undo the whitewashing, learn the history of natives from the natives themselves where it’s been made available, be determined to find their words! — keep searching until you do, and end the suffering of all beings by putting an end to supremacy, domination, colonization and Imperialism.

The few who survive each generation will face the growing chasm between telling the truth and facing likely punishment for honesty or selling their souls to rapacious conquest and participating in insanity. Either way is a threat of death or death by soul extinction. Colonialism is a project of death. Decolonize everywhere!
