The evidence of costless criminal government is apparent and depressing. The signs of imperial decay are held at bay by narrative and money. From what I can deduce, Israel is over. The killing isn’t, but the power that enables it is waning.

The state in the Levant that is being pumped full of weapons by the state that cannot survive without “credibility” is reaching a boiling point. Both are walking dead.

Israel was always a vassal of empires. What stroke of genius that compelled the right-wing Israeli government to buy all-in on ethnic cleansing was pivotal in trading a slash-and-burn today for the absence of any moral core tomorrow.

I continue to believe that we are in the throes of a shifting paradigm, the consequences of which are not close to being clear.

What makes this moment so electric is the rise of two powers that have military and economic security and are not subject to being bought or easily misrepresented. When the traditional power neglects its moral standing, the adversaries are wise to grab it and hold it.

I think the cutting edge journalism that indicts Russia and China for aiding and abetting the generational crime in West Asia is both commendable and hyper focused. The best thing for the flailing empire is to be handed any fodder for propaganda and/or a new war. The empire is imploding because it must resort to more violence and ignore its own stated values. The group that is crucial to this process is the people of the West. Every day that passes is another 24-hour cycle of the true face of their leaders emerging as the lackeys of billionaires who believe their citizens are their tools.

I can’t know this but it makes sense: The genocide began as a win-win. The Palestinians disappear or it triggers more war.

The world is changing because the restraint being displayed by the so called “enemies of freedom” is drawing more eyes to the empty rhetoric and obvious lies that are tying the whole imperial cast in Gordian knots.

Well said, I hope you are right.

We are witnessing a morally bankrupt world which will be followed by financial and economic bankruptcy and only then will we see a reset!

Israel has lost its carefully crafted image as "the only democracy in the Middle East". It was never a democracy but no psychologically healthy person wants to support a "genocidal democracy".

It has also lost its claim to have "the most moral army in the world". It's sadistic, sexual abuse of Palestinian "prisoners", i.e. hostages, has proven that to the whole world.

It has also neutered its claim that all criticism of its crimes are "anti-Semitic attacks". In the face of an horrific, live-streamed genocide, name-calling has lost its sting.

In fact, Israel has lost control of the narrative required to sustain its call to arms. That's why the IDF has a recruitment problem and droves of their soldiers are committing suicide.

Israel has also lost the support of America's youth... and therein lies its impending death. As it gradually loses the backing of the U.S. military, Israel will visibly begin to collapse.

It's only a matter of time now...

I hope you're right. Until now, I do not see any negative effects coming from Israel's fall from grace.

Israel was depending on Turning Point USA to develop the next generation of Christian Zionist crusaders to feed into their war machine. But social media coverage of the Gaza genocide (primarily by Palestinian journalists), plus a growing awareness of false flag attacks by Israel to drag America into its wars, have turned American youth adamantly against Israel. Charlie Kirk was responding to his audience's concerns when Satanyahu tried to bribe him with $$$ millions to get back on track with the Zionist agenda. All the reliable evidence is pointing to Kirk's refusal to do so as the reason why he was so brutally assassinated.

Although pro-Zionist Erika Kirk is trying to fill her husband's boots, she's losing credibility every time she goes out on stage as a strangely smiling, grieving widow in glittering outfits, inauthentically dabbing away at her invisible tears...

Another ardent Zionist, Ben Shapiro is so desperate to help Israel reclaim the narrative that he is openly advocating for Satanyahu to become the next President of the United States! That's how insanely desperate they have become...

The end is nigh for Israel. It is being defeated by the Truth of all of its heinous crimes... and of course, the Epstein files are a big piece of that puzzle. Those revelations will provide proof of Epstein's links with Israel (there is already plenty of evidence) and his blackmailing of powerful Americans to do Israel's bidding...

Close the legislative loop holes which permit corporations to behave in psychopathic ways:

1. Capitalism exists in this psychopathic form because corporations, especially trans-national corporations, are unlawfully mandated to prioritize profits over and above human rights. Regulation to close this crime-enabling, legislative loop hole would bring an end to most of the carnage we have witnessed across the globe in a never-ending sequence of wars, culminating in the abomination that is the Gaza genocide.

2. Also, regulate to hold C-suite executives personally responsible for the crimes corporations commit during their tenure and watch the world transformed. Wars would no longer be prosecuted for profiteering because the rights of the people would trump the rights of the war machine. This is why corporations vehemently oppose regulation and repeatedly call for greater and greater freedom to operate without limits. Corporations are the legislative vehicles of violent, bloody and sadistic empire.
