Some countries are more equal than others

It just seems like the world’s fourth largest military should be able to spot and stop a bunch of guys yelling “Allah!” Just like our own Military Industrial Complex, the greatest defense system the world has ever seen, should have been able to respond to hijacked planes flying around for over an hour.

Our government, naturally, did nothing when Rachel Corrie was murdered by our foremost ally. Just like they did nothing when the Israeli military attacked the U.S.S. Liberty. That event was covered up for decades. More recently, a Palestinian journalist who was an American citizen was shot and killed, not accidentally, by an Israeli soldier.

First of all, I think we owe a debt of gratitude to all the terrorists in the world. They’d been kind enough to stop launching attacks at defenseless civilians for nearly four years. Which coincides with the emergence of COVID-19 into the world. Now, they’re back. Bigger than ever. Can terrorism and COVID coexist?

Israel, despite being about the size of Rhode Island, has the fourth most powerful military in the world the last time I checked. Of course, that couldn’t happen naturally. They had help. Lots of help. From American taxpayers. We built that. But despite the fact they have this magnificent defense system, we are supposed to accept that they were caught by surprise by Hamas, who’d been hibernating along with Isis, Isil, the Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al-CIAeda since early 2020. Evidently, even they were afraid of a viral strain that still hasn’t been isolated (i.e., proven to exist). Terrorists don’t scare easy. But then again, the terrorists caught the most powerful defense system the world has ever seen- our Military Industrial Complex- by surprise as well on 9/11. I wonder if the security cameras were working in Israel?

With the great success the tallest Arab the world has ever seen had on 9/11, you’d think he would have hatched more nefarious schemes from his secret cave. After all, we’ve done nothing to upgrade our ancient power grids. And with most of the sensors provided by China, it should be pretty easy for any aspiring terrorist to take them out. Mild winds and light rain can do that. And what with the wide open southern border, they should be able to sneak some suicide bombers in there, alongside the drug lords and battle-aged male migrants. Nobody’s checking anything. It’s America 2.0. Take off your COVID masks and start looking for “sleeper cells.” If you see something, say something! I wonder if “White Supremacists” are still our greatest threat?

I haven’t seen any comments from politicians, along the lines of, “Gee, we really need to stay out of that crazy place. It’s none of our business!” They could follow up with, “Our infrastructure hasn’t been upgraded in over 60 years. The disparity of wealth is larger than ever. They claim we’re somehow running out of water. People are crapping in the streets.” Funny, we used to be concerned when dog owners didn’t pick up their crap from the street. But no one’s even cleaning up the human waste. That’s really not fair to dogs. Why can’t they crap in the street and have no one worry about it? Don’t dogs have rights, too? Someone call the ASCPA.

When your own home is as dilapidated as America’s is, you don’t worry about fixing the neighbors’ houses first. When your own kids are starving, you don’t buy food for the neighbors’ kids. Sorry if that sounds like America First, but charity begins at home. But let’s say your society is run by a corrupt criminal elite, whose souls have been figuratively or literally sold to Satan. Then you’d want to distract from your voluminous bad deeds. You’d want to construct foreign hobgoblins, to use the great H.L. Mencken’s term, to keep the public pleading with you to keep them safe. Hitler, Castro, Hussein, Qadaffi, Bin Laden- a murderer’s row of bogeymen.

But the greatest collective hobgoblin, since the 1970s or so, has been “terrorism.” As has been said, one man’s (or woman’s, or transgender’s) terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. George Washington and the Minute Men would have gone down in history as despicable terrorists if we had lost the War for Independence. And England didn’t come over and take our land, then literally claim we never existed, as was done to the Palestinians. Sure, Palestine can be found on old maps, but that doesn’t matter to the most die-hard Zionists. They will tell you “there was no such thing as Palestine.” It’s bad enough, when the world’s greatest military powers arm your religious rivals to the teeth, and steal your land. But then to claim you never existed?

Tulsi Gabbard made an ass out of herself by proclaiming, “We stand with Israel.” RFK, Jr. has already made amends for sharing some tweets from Roger Watters. Who can forget him running out and waving the Israeli flag in a parade? Nikki Haley is demanding that the Palestinians be wiped out. At least that’s the way I interpreted her comments. That’s bound to give Trumpenstein a healthy orange erection. DeSantis is probably scheduling his next trip to the Wailing Wall. The new Speaker of the House, Steve Scalise, shockingly expressed wholehearted support for Israel. Never let it be said that our politicians aren’t consistently willing to court controversy.

Fox News should just superimpose the Israeli flag behind every one of their talking heads. Dan Bongino dropped the MAGA stuff and almost tearfully warned us how dangerous the situation is now. In this country. He advised us to keep looking over our shoulder. There could be a terrorist, or even a “sleeper cell,” behind the local McDonald’s. Anyone named Mohammed is suspect. Didn’t conservatives like Bongino rightfully decry the COVID fear porn? What exactly is he selling, other than fear porn? I heard ominous predictions about “terrorism” going back to the 1980s. We need more money to combat terrorism. And Israeli really needs it. Could Israel even exist without our financial aid? How are they anything but a welfare state?

I’ve analyzed what videos are out there of the Hamas attack, and they consist mostly of lone individuals being dragged from cars, or bodies lying in various places. Lots of Arabs jumping up and down and shouting. I caught an “Allah” or two. I don’t know what the greatest mass attack on civilians ever seen, which is what some histrionic commentator called it, is supposed to look like. Just like I said I didn’t know what a pandemic was supposed to look like, but it shouldn’t look like those empty hospital videos. One photo of what we were told was a naked Israeli woman (she was not naked), looked, well…how do we put it? As I pointed out on Twitter, her right leg appeared to have been in an impossibly contorted position. Shades of the backyard photos that helped to incriminate Lee Harvey Oswald.

The bloody bodies that I saw reminded me very much of the footage from the Boston Bombing. Dave McGowan analyzed all that brilliantly, before he developed a Jack Ruby- style of galloping cancer. And died on November 22. You can’t make that up. If I wanted to create a “terrorist” video, I think I’d hire a bunch of guys who looked Arabic, and tell them to jump around and shout something the audience wouldn’t understand. Whoop it up, like the Indians used to do in Hollywood productions. But I’m not a filmmaker, so what do I know? I’m just a community college dropout, using my critical thinking ability to make observations.

It just seems like the world’s fourth largest military should be able to spot and stop a bunch of guys yelling “Allah!” Just like our own Military Industrial Complex, the greatest defense system the world has ever seen, should have been able to respond to hijacked planes flying around for over an hour. Sure, they were armed with box cutters and plastic knives, but I feel confident even an entirely transgender military unit could have stopped them. And this was in 2001, back when there were only two genders. Men were still sometimes not telling if they were asked. There were no transgender armed forces. It’s a “Support the Troops thing,” you wouldn’t understand.

I want to make it clear that I condemn all atrocities. I write a lot about them in my books. Many were committed by us, not “terrorists.” I doubt any terrorist could kill some 39,000 toddlers, like we did during the bombing of Dresden, one of the meccas of culture in the world, and absent any military value whatsoever. But that was done by “good guys,” in a “good war.” So it’s all cool. If Hamas, whatever it is, and however it was formed and is financed, killed women and children in Israel, that’s a horrific thing. Of course, we mourn for those losses. Civilians should never be targeted by armies, in Israel now, or during Sherman’s “march to the sea” during the Civil War.

Israel has a long history of targeting Palestinian civilians, including children. Just don’t mention that to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Rachel Corrie was an American activist who unwisely sat down in protest, in front of an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer. The brave Israeli soldier bulldozed her to death. And then demolished the Palestinian home she was trying to protect. The IDF has destroyed an unknown number of Palestinian residences like this. I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem right to give billions to those doing the bulldozing, while castigating those who escape the bulldozers and dare to protest. My Substack is called “I Protest,” after all. When your land is stolen, and then the area allotted to you constantly shrinks, you should be protesting.

Our government, naturally, did nothing when Rachel Corrie was murdered by our foremost ally. Just like they did nothing when the Israeli military attacked the U.S.S. Liberty. That event was covered up for decades. More recently, a Palestinian journalist who was an American citizen was shot and killed, not accidentally, by an Israeli soldier. They even know the soldier’s identity. And yet, Joe Biden, friend of the Squad, which fights for Palestinian rights, hasn’t attempted to extradite that soldier for prosecution. Come to think of it, I haven’t heard AOC, or Ilhan Omar, or any other “Woke” activist comment on this, either. It’s funny, because usually they’re so vocal.
