Guided By Truth,
There has been a tension between reality and political ideology recently. We have all wondered how long it would be before western policy-inertia would capitulate to public political sentiments, military and economic facts, which are all in opposition to imperial policies and control-narratives ("noble lies" per Plato). There are signs, which might be intentional political communications, that imperial policy of support for wars in Ukraine and Occupied Palestine may be poised to change, to better match physical and political realities.
"I screamed for my children and my husband. They were all dead. They've gone together and left me behind," Rania Abu Anza, the mother of twin martyrs Wissam and Naeim said. The strike occurred late Saturday night while Rania was asleep with her husband and children.
Rania said she woke up to breastfeed Naeim, her baby boy, and went back to sleep with him in one arm and Wissam, her baby girl, in the other. Their father was sleeping beside them, she recalled tearfully.
The UN Security Council (UNSC) has expressed “deep concern” after nearly 120 Palestinians lost their lives in an Israeli attack on civilians waiting to receive humanitarian aid southwest of Gaza City...
..They urged for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and reminded all parties that they “must comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law.”
They called for parties to the conflict to allow, facilitate, and enable the immediate, rapid, safe, sustained and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip.
The council members said they also have “grave concern” over the estimation…that all 2.2 million people in Gaza would face alarming levels of acute food insecurity.

In summary: it seems that Netanyahu is trying to have his cake and eat it too. Ostensibly he wants to ‘root out’ and destroy Hamas, but at the same time fears doing so would force the inevitability of creating a Palestinian state—as there would no longer be any real excuse not to allow it, should Hamas be undeniably eliminated.
The only connective tissue which ties it all together is Israel’s overriding longterm goal of ethnically cleansing all Palestinians from the land Israel believes it has divine right to. With secondary goals revolving around opportunistically utilizing the conflict to either weaken Iran’s hand to buy itself time, or outright embroil Iran in a wider war with the U.S. which can maintain Israel’s center gravity at the heart of the geopolitical great game in the Middle East. However, it does seem that, upon realizing the total expulsion of Palestinians will not be allowed by the international community, Netanyahu’s Plan B has reverted to merely creating a fully militarily occupied zone in Gaza, under even more brutal control than it already endures.

At least 15 children have starved to death in Gaza over past the few days
On Saturday, US Central Command announced that it conducted a “combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza” with the Royal Jordanian Air Force. The command said US C-130 military transport planes dropped 38,000 meals on Gaza, which is populated by about 2.2 million people.
The international charity Oxfam said the airdrops “mostly serve to relieve the guilty consciences of senior US officials whose policies are contributing to the ongoing atrocities and risk of famine in Gaza” and called for the US to end military aid to Israel.

Biden is facing protests from within the Democratic Party due to his unconditional support for Israel's massacre of Palestinians
The poll shows that 56% of respondents who identified as Democrats were less likely to support a candidate who backs military aid to Israel, while 40% were more likely to support such a candidate.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest socialist organization in the US, has urged primary voters to cast their ballots for ‘uncommitted’ rather than President Joe Biden to show their opposition to his stance on the Israel-Hamas war...
..“Today, DSA endorses ‘Uncommitted’ in the remaining Democratic presidential primaries. Until this administration ends its support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and delivers a permanent, lasting ceasefire, Joe Biden will bear the responsibility for another Trump presidency,” the organization said, adding that “defeat is certain” if Biden continues on the current course.
“This week’s brutal ‘Flour Massacre’ has proven once again that Israel is a brutal, inhumane apartheid state which carries a legacy of 75 years of genocide and occupation. Over 30,000 Palestinians have already died; how many will be ENOUGH for Joe Biden to stop this war?” the DSA said in a follow-up post, referring to the tragedy on February 29 when at least 112 Palestinians were killed and more than 750 were injured while waiting for much-needed food aid in Gaza City.

Simplicius, again, so much more Ukraine War information here , A bombshell wiretap leak has set the intelligence and geopolitical world ablaze, revealing high ranking members of the German Bundeswehr openly discussing plans to supply the Taurus missiles and help Ukraine destroy Russia’s Kerch Bridge.
Many are understandably pinning the leak on Russia’s GRU, but it seems just as—if not more—plausible that it was leaked by German insiders themselves in order to thwart the plans of their own deep-state establishment which is clearly bent on starting WWIII.

Its use was roundly mocked by German tabloid Bild. “After the wiretapping attack on the Bundeswehr [German military] by Russian spies, this is extremely embarrassing,” the paper wrote on Monday...
..Over a WebEx video call, the officers discussed the potential use of German-made Taurus missiles against the Crimean Bridge, wondering how they could maintain plausible deniability of involvement in such an attack. The conversation also revealed that – according to the officers – Britain has already sent its own military specialists to Ukraine to operate Storm Shadow cruise missiles given to the Ukrainian armed forces.
It is unclear how Simonyan’s contacts obtained the audio. However, the deputy chairman of the German parliament’s oversight committee, Roderich Kiesewetter, said on Sunday that the Russians could have simply logged on to the unsecured WebEx call without the officers noticing.

Gilbert Doctorow, (US Neocon Queen-Bee) Victoria Nuland resigns: what can this mean for U.S. policy on Ukraine?
..There is no question that as an intellectual force she was head and shoulders over her nominal boss, Antony Blinken, and that she stood behind every escalation in U.S. and Allied participation in the proxy war being fought in Ukraine. The idea of sending long-range cruise missiles to Kiev in order to strike far into the Russian heartland, now being debated both in the USA and in Germany, was something Nuland was promoting tooth and nail nearly a year ago.
..A touching note and possibly a straw in the wind is the last paragraph in the Associated Press article on the departure of Nuland which tells us: “Nuland will be replaced temporarily as under secretary by another career diplomat, John Bass, a former ambassador to Afghanistan, who oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from the country.” Indeed, let us hope that Bass will also be the fellow who oversees the U.S. withdrawal from Ukraine.

One might interpret this as the State Department's admittance of defeat in the U.S. war against Russia in Ukraine The audio tape is of German soldiers discussing air operations against Russia from a nuclear-armed airbase. The frankness of their war objectives against Russia, and of their attempts to camouflage their “tricks”, as Gerhartz calls them, for German political and public purposes is not what is “new” in this disclosure. Rather, what is “new” is the context of this teleconference among all the others happening in parallel – this is the certainty that when German army officers and German naval officers discuss operations at the general staff level before briefing Defense Minister Pistorius, they are just as committed to attacking Russia as Gerhartz and his airmen.
All these Germans are at war with Russia. There is no reason for their counterparts on the Russian General Staff to interpret what Gerhartz said in any other way. The identification of Büchel and F-16s in the discussion must (repeat must) trigger the Russian assessment that the Germans are capable, with US, British and French prompting, of launching F-16s with nuclear warheads.
More Helmer, who thinks (somebody in) the US tapped the phone and spilled the beans.
Germany has launched an investigation into the scandal involving the leaking of a conversation between senior German military officials discussing the attack on the Crimean Bridge. The Bundeswehr leadership blames “unsecured communication systems” for everything, thanks to which Russia gained access to this conversation. However, there is reason to believe that the special services of an altogether different country had access to it, which then shared it with Russia. What is this about? ...
..Frank Graefe was appointed head of the Air Force Operations and Exercises Department just the other day. And since the end of 2019, he served as the German military attaché in Washington, to serve as which he was awarded the rank of brigadier general.
Thus, if anyone knew in detail the peculiarities of General Graefe’s behaviour, it was the Americans. They also knew Graefe’s phone number, which they could connect to without any hotel Wi-Fi. This is not to mention the fact that the WebEx system originally belongs to an American provider, and the European military considers it safe on account of their misunderstanding...
..Thus, it can reasonably be assumed that Russian intelligence has some kind of intelligence capabilities inside the US National Security Agency. Or if not exactly agents, then let’s say, informants who are close ideologically...

..The internal German context is very complicated, especially during the pre-election period. And the publication of this conversation by German officers rather helps [Chancellor Olaf] Scholz, who has been blocking the whole story of the Taurus so far. The scandal, of course, hits the security system of Germany and, in general, the prestige of the Bundeswehr. But most importantly, it demonstrates to the whole world the danger and moral weakness of the very idea of supplying Ukraine with such weapons.
(Croatian Army veteran) Alex Krainer, Financial and power-structure analyst, The power behind the throne and the forever wars , We must take a stand or let our children fall, it's that simple.
"What I found out when I got into No. 10 is, I thought that if I got to the top of the tree, I would be able to implement those conservative policies... And what I discovered was that I was not holding the levers. The levers were held by the Bank of England, by the Office of Budget Responsibility, they weren't held by the Prime Minister or the Chancellor..."
..As the Ukrainian bludgeon broke against Russia, there is every reason for us to expect that they’ll turn to transforming other European nations to serve the same purpose. That process is now under way as we can hear from the growing chorus of European leaders talking about militarization, conscription, and the prospect of war against Russia..
...Unless we accept that in the near future our children also be sacrificed for bankers’ pursuit of Russian collateral, we need to shine the spotlight at those behind the throne who are pulling the levers and pushing us into war. It is our duty today to push against them with all our might, creativity and determination. Anything short of that risks turning more European nations into what Ukraine is today. And no, it has never been about democracy nor about freedom. It is strictly about banking and about the collateral...
..All the money in circulation represents debt. Debt represents assets on the bankers’ balance sheets. To conjure up more debt, they need to control the collateral: it directly boosts their wealth and power over us. To all the rest of us it’s all the same: whether we pay money to Gazprom for our gas or to Royal Dutch Shell, we still have to pay...
..Truly, the only group in society to whom the control of collateral makes any difference are the bankers, making them the one main group with the incentive to foment forever wars for control of resources. They won’t hesitate to go nuclear and sacrifice one nation after another to achieve this.

In many cases, this has resulted in cruel and inhumane campaigns being enacted around the world in areas where the people did not have the civil rights protections afforded to them within the Western Democracies...
..It is critical to learn what happened there, both so that we do not allow the global elite to enact similar measures here and so that we can recognize why it is imperative to have a culture which sincerely values morality as that ethical framework is often the only thing which can stop these disasters from happening.
Tom Luongo, who shares the above view of wars-for-collateral, also prefers not to have Globo-Cap destroy the US for profit
Now that the Supreme Court has unanimously destroyed the dreams of Davos to use January 6th as a means to keep him off the ballot, Donald Trump has passed the easiest of the hurdles in front of his returning to the White House. Some things, politically, in the US still function. This ruling was a lay-up. The SCOTUS had to rule decisively here...
Candidate Trump became a guy who preached bringing the US back from a dark place. He ran on a populist platform that incorporated the Bernie Bros (remember them) as well as the tradesmen. He broke the Democrats’ Trinity of Victimhood – Unions, Minorities, young people — that was their base and squeaked to victory over The Hildabeast.
If you think it’s Trump’s team or even US ‘white hats’ pushing out this stuff about Biden, you may be missing the obvious player, Hillary.
If there is one thing I know for certain about Trump it is that he’s a master of media. He knows exactly how and when to push everyone’s buttons.
For that reason (and many others) Trump’s only real choice for running mate is Tulsi Gabbard...
..When Hillary stole the 2016 primary from Bernie Sanders she resigned from the DNC. This is a woman who crossed Hillary Clinton and, so far, has lived to tell the tale. No mean feat in the 21st century. Long story short, Gabbard has stones.
A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit has revealed that the Biden administration has flown at least 320,000 migrants into the United States in an effort to reduce the number of crossings at the southern border, according to Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Charles Hugh Smith points out the Achilles-Heel of Bankers, These Four Themes Will Define the Next Decade
Everyone at the trough believes that the transition from liquid water (free flowing credit) to ice cannot possibly happen. So when it happens, everyone will be surprised...That all sounds peachy, but the real world will be defined by four much different themes: sclerosis, dysfunction, debt saturation and power asymmetry...
..In a system rigged to maximize the profit and power of the few at the expense of the many, nothing works because the system is no longer capable of self-correction...
..Interest rates can't stay at zero, so the costs of servicing the soaring debt rises rapidly. At the same time, the immense expansion of credit--money borrowed from future income to be spent today--generates inflation, as the flood of credit needed to keep a sclerotic, dysfunctional status quo afloat outpaces the value being generated by all the trillions being borrowed and blown. No one at the trough of "free money" will give up their place, and so the system is rigged to fail: we have to keep borrowing trillions to keep all the incumbents, entrenched interests and those collecting benefits happy, but as interest payments rise, we need to borrow more trillions just to pay the interest. And so on, in a self-reinforcing feedback loop...

Pennsylvania authorities raided Amish farmer Amos Miller’s farm in January, seizing $100,000 worth of food products over allegations his raw dairy products caused E. coli outbreaks in Michigan and New York. Miller's lawyer called the sudden raid “patently illegal” and a violation of state rules.

The United States is comprised of White people, Black people, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, Arabs, and many other ethnic groups. One distinguishing feature that is almost uniformly overlooked is that we as a country are primarily Gentiles—i.e., non-Jewish—and that as Gentiles we comprise 98% of the American populace. The distinction between Jews and Gentiles is NOT one of Gentile making. It is how Jews since time immemorial have perceived everyone who is not Jewish...

Steve Kirsch, BREAKING: Seven MPs request comprehensive data transparency from the UK ONS (Office for National Statistics)
They want the UK ONS is to produce a detailed time-series cohort analysis like they should have done 3 years ago. The request was validated by UK Professors Norman Fenton and Carl Heneghan. If the ONS refuses the request, then the MPs will be able to shift the blame for this crisis squarely on the ONS. And all MPs will then pile on later I predict since nobody wants not to have a chair when the music stops.
If the ONS complies with the request, then we will have the evidence needed to go after other agencies. It will end the debate as to whether the shots were safe, and begin the debate on who is to blame and how to hold them accountable.
Public health agencies have refused to study or to publicly release data comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, according to experts who spoke during Monday’s U.S. Senate roundtable discussion on “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel.”
Top scientists at the world-renowned Cambridge University in England have published the results of a bombshell study into the impact of the injections on the human immune system. The study concluded that 25 percent of all people vaccinated with Covid mRNA shots now have Vaccine-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS).
Eating ultraprocessed foods raises the risk of developing or dying from dozens of adverse health conditions, according to a new review of 45 meta-analyses on almost 10 million people.
“We found consistent evidence linking higher intakes of ultra-processed foods with over 70% of the 45 different health outcomes we assessed,” said senior author Wolfgang Marx, a senior research fellow at the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia, in an email.
A higher intake was considered about one serving or about 10% more ultraprocessed foods per day, said Heinz Freisling, a scientist in the nutrition and metabolism branch of the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, in an email. “This proportion can be regarded as ‘baseline’ and for people consuming more than this baseline, the risk might increase,” said Freisling.
