Mortal Humans,
Simplicius, Israel's Path of Peril
Last night Hezbollah carried out another large-scale attack on Israel, billed as their ‘retaliation’ for the death of commander Fouad Shukr. The usual occurred: Israel’s night sky bloomed with constellations of Iron Dome rockets and panicked citizens packed airports to flee the country. Israel claimed to have carried out a large preemptive attack that destroyed much of Hezbollah’s rocket stock before it was used.....What’s most remarkable is that we are now approaching the one year anniversary, this October, of the start of Israel’s war on Gaza, and yet Israel has still not been able to entirely defeat a tiny Hamas force...
..“If the Hamas battalions were largely destroyed, Israeli forces wouldn’t still be fighting,” said retired US Army Col. Peter Mansoor, who helped oversee the deployment of an additional 30,000 US troops to Iraq in 2007 – a counterinsurgency strategy known as “the surge.”
“The fact that they’re still in Gaza, still trying to rout out elements of the Hamas battalions shows me that Prime Minister Netanyahu is wrong,” he added. “The ability of Hamas to reconstitute its fighting forces is undiminished.”
The article quotes Palestinian civilians fleeing from the north of Gaza, who said that Hamas there is stronger than ever and is actively rebuilding their forces.
“We began to notice a resurgence in Hamas less than a week after Israel withdrew from northern Gaza in January,” said Carter from CTP. “We saw this effect continuing throughout the strip ... This has been the defining process from the Hamas battalions.”
One ‘high ranking Israeli soldier’ told CNN that Hamas’ statements on rebuilding are true, and that they have recruited ‘thousands’ of new members in the past few months...
..What’s most remarkable is the fact that many increasingly believe the situation is leading to Israel’s eventual dissolution. In some ways, it can be argued that Netanyahu and his racist rightwing clan is deliberately fostering a Hamas renewal because their plan B is to use the Hamas specter as an excuse to continue devastating Gaza indefinitely until all Palestinians are purged, one way or another...“The fact that they’re still in Gaza, still trying to rout out elements of the Hamas battalions shows me that Prime Minister Netanyahu is wrong,” he added. “The ability of Hamas to reconstitute its fighting forces is undiminished.”

One ‘high ranking Israeli soldier’ told CNN that Hamas’ statements on rebuilding are true, and that they have recruited ‘thousands’ of new members in the past few months...
..In fact, more and more observers believe that Israel is in a kind of ‘death spiral’. While Israeli general Yitzhak Brik dropped a bombshell the other day on Haaretz, declaring that Israel will collapse in less than a year.
..Yitzhak Brik has reportedly been called ‘The Prophet of Wrath’ in Israel for accurately predicting the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Now, in an Oped for Haaretz, he accuses the Israeli government of ‘throwing dust in the eyes’ of the public by lying about their destruction of Hamas."I assume that Defense Minister Gallant already understands that the war has lost its purpose. Israel is sinking deeper into the Gazan mud, losing more and more soldiers as they get killed or wounded, without any chance of achieving the war's main goal: bringing down Hamas.
The country really is galloping towards the edge of an abyss. If the war of attrition against Hamas and Hezbollah continues, Israel will collapse within no more than a year."...
..He saves his gravest condemnations for Netanyahu himself:
Netanyahu decided to "die with the Philistines" – in this case, the citizens of Israel – only to retain his power.
"He has lost his humanity, basic morality, norms, values, and responsibility for Israel's security. Only replacing him and his cronies as soon as possible can save the country. Israel has entered an existential tailspin and could soon reach a point of no return"...
..Israel's Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar said in a letter to Netanyahu, Gallant and other ministers published by Channel 12 that "Jewish terror" by settlers in the West Bank and Ben Gvir's incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque are doing "indescribable damage to Israel."Netanyahu decided to "die with the Philistines" – in this case, the citizens of Israel – only to retain his power.
"He has lost his humanity, basic morality, norms, values, and responsibility for Israel's security. Only replacing him and his cronies as soon as possible can save the country. Israel has entered an existential tailspin and could soon reach a point of no return"...
In response to his warnings about settler terror in the West Bank, Ben Gvir reportedly demanded Ronen Bar's dismissal, and withdrew from the ministers' meeting, according to the Israeli army's radio station...
..If Israel continues to deny the bitter truth that a Jewish wild weed that has grown in the territories is now out of control, Jewish terror will bring Israel down. "The 'hilltop youth' phenomenon has long grown into a platform for committing violence against Palestinians," wrote Bar.
In essence, what they’re saying is that Israel is now openly ruled by radical extremists who are taking the entire country down with them. Saner heads in Israel are calling for a more moderate government which can acknowledge that unbridled terror and genocide is not a winning long term strategy. Unfortunately, the Netanyahu, Ben-Givir, and Smotrich types are too strongly entrenched at the top of the ruling pyramid. After all, some of them like Ben-Givir are open Kahanists—an openly racist ideology that outright views all Arabs as enemies and works to deprive them of any rights within Israel...
..Iran sees that Israel is slowly choking from the pressure. Hundreds of thousands of essential Israeli farmers and citizens from the north have fled, many of them stating openly they will never return. Israel’s economy is in freefall, with its only port on the Red Sea, Eilat, having been in complete shut down for months with the port operator announcing the lay off of most of the workers...In essence, what they’re saying is that Israel is now openly ruled by radical extremists who are taking the entire country down with them.

..The only saving grace might be if Trump wins the presidency and manages to “save” Israel by negotiating some settlement, which would then result in some of the radicals eventually being outed, then Israel would likely continue hobbling along for quite some time. But the country would be greatly weakened internationally, as the damage done to its image has gravely wounded Israel’s future prospects.
Furthermore, the rise of BRICS and the Global South in general means that Iran and other adversarial countries will continue gaining power and ascendancy while Israel’s allies are steadily weakened on the world stage...
..Netanyahu and Zelensky are two birds of a feather with the same desperate goals: they need to drag the US into a wider global war to save their regimes and their country. But what they don’t know is: they are doomed whether that happens or not. That’s because the US does not have the power to win a wider war against either adversary, and both Ukraine and Israel would be doomed to their fates, with US merely sacrificing itself in the process as well.Furthermore, the rise of BRICS and the Global South in general means that Iran and other adversarial countries will continue gaining power and ascendancy while Israel’s allies are steadily weakened on the world stage...
There’s good chance that by 2050-2075 Israel goes the way of Rhodesia, or at least won’t exist in its current form. The only thing that could save it, or at least buy it time, is the one thing its leadership would never allow: a two state solution. https://simplicius76.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said the early-morning firing of more than 300 Katyusha rockets at northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights was followed by the launching of several drones that hit carefully chosen and sensitive military targets close to Tel Aviv. In a speech on Sunday evening, he declared that the attack was the party’s response to last month’s assassination by Israel of top Hezbollah military leader Fouad Shukr in Beirut’s southern district.
He indicated that the operation concluded the party’s retaliation for the assassination but that it reserved the right to carry out further attacks in the future. Meanwhile, Nasrallah said that Hezbollah will continue to engage Israel in the north within the rules of engagement in support of Palestinians in Gaza, adding that only an end to the war there would stop the hostilities with Israel.
Nasrallah admitted that Israel had carried out what it called a preemptive strike against Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, but he debunked Israeli claims that it had destroyed thousands of missiles or undermined the party’s plans to launch a retaliatory attack on Israel.
He revealed that Hezbollah had chosen the military-run intelligence base of Glilot, a few kilometers north of Tel Aviv, as its primary target, adding that the operation was successful. But Israel has denied that the base was hit and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the army had intercepted most of the drones and missiles. Israel had earlier said that its response to the Hezbollah threat was also concluded, while Netanyahu said that Sunday’s showdown “was not the end of the story.” https://www.arabnews.com/node/2569035
Israel-Hamas ceasefire, hostage talks to continue after weekend meetings fail to resolve gaps
The U.S. and other mediators see a ceasefire in Gaza as key to averting a wider Mideast war. Hezbollah has said it will halt its strikes on Israel if there is a ceasefire A round of high-level talks in Cairo meant to bring about a ceasefire and hostage deal to at least temporarily end the 10-month Israel-Hamas war in Gaza ended Sunday (August 25, 2024) without a final agreement, a U.S. official said. But talks will continue at lower levels in the coming days in an effort to bridge remaining gaps. https://www.thehindu.
The situation in Gaza, the Occupied West Bank, and Occupied East Jerusalem today is very similar to the events that marked the end of French rule in Algeria.
“The most powerful single force in the world today is neither communism nor capitalism, neither the H-bomb nor the guided missile – it is man’s eternal desire to be free and independent,” Kennedy said. “Thus the single most important test of American foreign policy today is how we meet the challenge of imperialism, what we do to further man’s desire to be free.”
“The time has come for the United States to face the harsh realities of the situation and to fulfill its responsibilities as the leader of the free world – in the UN, in NATO, in the administration of our aid programs and in the exercise of our diplomacy – in shaping a course toward political independence for Algeria”...
Armstrong says another big lie told to the public is the approval rating of Kamala Harris. The so-called polls say Harris is running neck and neck with Donald Trump in the presidential race. Don’t believe it.
"They have to trap Trump into a war or they kill him, one or the other. These people are unconscionable... We are looking at serious civil unrest regardless of who wins in November. Neither side is going to accept it.”
On gold at $2,500 an ounce, Armstrong says it’s not about inflation, it is about the fear of a US debt default. This is why central banks are buying. Armstrong says,
“If there is a big war, the US will default on it’s debt. . .. I am very concerned they will start WWIII before the end of the year and maybe by September.” https://www.zerohedge.com/
Another former Democrat joins Trump campaign Former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, describing the ex-president as the only candidate who can walk the US back from “the brink of nuclear war.”
Trump brought Gabbard on stage during a speech at the National Guard Association’s annual conference in Detroit on Monday, introducing the former Hawaii congresswoman as a “true American patriot” with “great common sense” and “great spirit.”
Gabbard, a 17-year National Guard veteran who served two combat tours in the Middle East, praised Trump’s isolationist brand of foreign policy.
“We saw this through his first term in the presidency when he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars,” she said, adding that Trump had “the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators, allies and partners alike in the pursuit of peace.” ...

And he might be assassinated for it again: John F. Kennedy Would be on the Side of the Palestinians, Not Israel
Kennedy in July 1957 delivered a famous speech where he voiced his opposition to then President Eisenhower’s military and political support for French colonialism, and called on the US administration to support the fight for freedom and independence in Algeria.The situation in Gaza, the Occupied West Bank, and Occupied East Jerusalem today is very similar to the events that marked the end of French rule in Algeria.
“The most powerful single force in the world today is neither communism nor capitalism, neither the H-bomb nor the guided missile – it is man’s eternal desire to be free and independent,” Kennedy said. “Thus the single most important test of American foreign policy today is how we meet the challenge of imperialism, what we do to further man’s desire to be free.”

..The French authorities and the French settlers had dehumanized the Algerians and referred to them as animals, which morally justified their killing of thousands of human beings. The massacre of 45,000 Algerians in May 1945 secured another nine years of occupation, but it served to strengthen the Algerian’s resolve to fight for an end of French occupation.
On November 1, 1954, the war of liberation began in earnest. It took eight years for Algeria to win its independence over France; in what British historian Alistair Horne dubbed “a savage war of peace”.
The Algerian people paid for their freedom with 1.5 million lives, which was 20% of the population.
As France was seeking to maintain its brutal military occupation of Algeria, then US President John F. Kennedy clearly voiced his belief that French rule over Algeria was not sustainable in the long term, condemned colonialism, and openly rooted for Algeria’s independence. Kennedy was voicing a core American value held dearly today, and one fought for by countless Americans since 1776. The US stance in the 60’s played an important role in the success of Algeria’s liberation struggle. https://www.globalresearch.

Hezbollah detailed in a statement that it had launched 320 Katyusha rockets on Israeli positions in order to “clear the way for the drones to cross safely towards the target in the depth of the entity [Israel],” adding that the operation was completed “with success.”
Israeli media quoted the Israeli army saying that Hezbollah’s attack is “thought to have targeted the Mossad headquarters near Tel Aviv,” which would mean that the attack reached some 100 kilometers across the border.
Hezbollah denied Israeli claims regarding the targeting of thousands of rockets and launchpads in a later statement, saying that “all the drones left their bases in their appointed time and crossed the border safely towards that target,” asserting that Israel’s claims were “baseless.”
The secretary general of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, said in a live speech on Sunday that Hezbollah had delayed its response to Israel’s assassination of Shukr to give a chance for ceasefire talks. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/

Its Foreign Ministry’s ominously implied ultimatum to Minsk and reaffirmation of Ukraine’s right to self-defense suggest that Kiev might invade Belarus’ Gomel Region and/or Russia’s Bryansk Region.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry released a statement on Sunday warning about what it described as the “threat” posed by Belarus’ military buildup along the border, the motivations of which were analyzed here in early August. Belarusian President Lukashenko also drew attention last week to the whopping 120,000 Ukrainian troops that he claims were the first to deploy there. For reference, Belarus only has around 65,000 active soldiers, one-third of whom are stationed along the Ukrainian border.
Less than a week ago, a small Ukrainian force unsuccessfully tried to invade a tiny village in Russia’s Bryansk Region that’s only 30 kilometers from the Belarusian border. It was likely a probing attempt in hindsight, but any Kursk-like invasion along that front could risk impeding or even cutting off Russia’s military logistics to Belarus’ southeastern city of Gomel. That’s because there’s a nearby highway running between there and Bryansk’s eponymous capital just 30-50 kilometers inside of Russia from the border.

..The OCHA has also documented 1,250 Israeli settlers' attacks on Palestinians since October, including around 120 settler assaults that resulted in Palestinian fatalities and injuries. According to a UN investigation, on August 12, Israeli settlers armed with knives abducted two 15-year-old Palestinian shepherds and dragged them into a recently formed Israeli outpost colony near Khallet an-Nahla, where they "assaulted the boys, broke their legs, and urinated on them" before driving them to an open area where they abandoned them. https://english.

Andrew Korybko, Ukraine Might Be Gearing Up To Attack Or Cut Off Belarus’ Southeastern City Of Gomel

Ukraine might be gearing up to either attack Gomel (which is just 30 kilometers from the border) or at least threaten Russia’s military logistics to there from Bryansk...
..This was backed up by them reminding Belarus that “We warn that in case of a violation of Ukraine's state border by Belarus, our state will take all necessary measures to exercise the right to self-defense guaranteed by the UN Charter. Consequently, all troop concentrations, military facilities, and supply routes in Belarus will become legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.” The stage is therefore set for opening up another front on this false pretext if Kiev has the political will to do so... (5 scenarios presented)... Out of these five, while the first (bluffing only) would arguably be the best, it appears to be the least likely. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry wouldn’t have made its first statement about Belarus in almost a year if it didn’t believe that this would bring it some sort of benefit, let alone ominously imply an ultimatum and then reaffirm its right to self-defense, which would be twisted to justify aggression in the event that it decides to attack Gomel and/or Bryansk. Something is cooking, and it doesn’t bode well for Belarus. https://korybko.substack.com/p/ukraine-might-be-gearing-up-to-attack

..Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022, arguing that it had fallen “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers” and social-justice ideologues. Three years earlier, Gabbard was widely credited with ending Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign with a single debate performance.
In the 2019 Democratic primary showdown, Gabbard slammed Harris’ record as California’s attorney general, criticizing her for jailing thousands of marijuana offenders “and then laughing about it,” for her use of prison labor, and for blocking evidence that would have freed innocent men on death row.
“There is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology,” Gabbard said, leaving Harris unable to respond.

The arrest warrant was issued just before he landed, an ambush. US orchestrated Durov arrest – former spokesman.
“It’s a big mystery why he disregarded his own safety and decided to land in Paris,” Loboushkin told RT on Sunday. “He has shown throughout his history that he is a pretty cautious person in that sense. He has said many times that there is no point in going to jail.”...
In an interview with Carlson in April, Durov said that he drew “too much attention” from law enforcement any time he visited the US, and claimed that American intelligence agents had attempted to recruit one of his employees to install a backdoor in the app that would have allowed them to spy on Telegram users. https://swentr.site/news/
The Telegram CEO wouldn’t have landed in Paris if he thought he was in danger
Durov was arrested at Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Saturday, immediately after arriving from Azerbaijan by private jet. According to French media, prosecutors in Paris plan to charge the 39-year-old with complicity in drug trafficking, pedophilia offenses, and fraud, arguing that Telegram’s insufficient content moderation, its strong encryption tools, and its alleged lack of cooperation with police allow criminals to flourish on the app.“It’s a big mystery why he disregarded his own safety and decided to land in Paris,” Loboushkin told RT on Sunday. “He has shown throughout his history that he is a pretty cautious person in that sense. He has said many times that there is no point in going to jail.”...
..According to Loboushkin, the Russian-born businessman must have been unaware that a warrant was being prepared for his arrest, or thought – given Telegram’s compliance with local laws and sanctions – that he wouldn’t be in serious trouble.
"I think the attack is coming neither from the EU nor from France,” Loboushkin said. “It’s most likely an attack from the United States, which has been after Pavel Durov for a long time, and Durov has always talked about it.”
“He said, for example in an interview with Tucker Carlson, that he and his employees are under pressure, or at least there’s some kind of surveillance conducted by the FBI,” the former spokesman continued. “I think the root causes are there, so it doesn’t make any sense to discuss the intentions of the French authorities who arrested him, because they don’t play any role here at all.”"I think the attack is coming neither from the EU nor from France,” Loboushkin said. “It’s most likely an attack from the United States, which has been after Pavel Durov for a long time, and Durov has always talked about it.”
In an interview with Carlson in April, Durov said that he drew “too much attention” from law enforcement any time he visited the US, and claimed that American intelligence agents had attempted to recruit one of his employees to install a backdoor in the app that would have allowed them to spy on Telegram users. https://swentr.site/news/
"#FreePavel": Telegram CEO Becomes Latest Target of European Censors.
The law behind these threats is the Digital Services Act. The act bars speech that is viewed as “disinformation” or “incitement.” European Commission Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager celebrated its passage by declaring that it is “not a slogan anymore, that what is illegal offline should also be seen and dealt with as illegal online. Now it is a real thing. Democracy’s back.”
In addition to Musk, Robert Kennedy Jr. has denounced the arrest.
This action is not due to the encryption capacity or child porn rationales. European officials have been making the same threats against other sites over the failure to censor views that they deem unacceptable.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski wrote “France has threatened Rumble, and now they have crossed a red line by arresting Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, reportedly for not censoring speech.” https://jonathanturley.org/2024/08/26/freepavel-telegram-ceo-becomes-latest-target-of-european-censors/

'It appears President Emmanuel Macron is feeling the pressure after French authorities arrested Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov over the weekend. The prosecutor's office has since said his detention may last until Aug.28.
Several prominent tech entrepreneurs and public figures - for example Elon Musk - have decried the move as selective persecution against a known advocate of free speech. In a rare move Macron weighed in directly on Monday, claiming it has nothing to do with his government and that Durov's arrest and ongoing detention is not politically motivated.
Macron said Monday, "The arrest of Telegram's president on French territory took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation. This is in no way a political decision. It is up to the judges to decide." Macron further condemned what he called "false information" surrounding the case. https://www.zerohedge.com/

Weaponisation of the Food and Water Supplies, David A. Hughes via Meryl Nass MD
The Great Poisoning; the war on farmers; lab-grown meat; "Pharma Food" and eugenics; manufactured food shortages; and the looming threat of artificial water shortages
One aspect of the unfolding Omniwar is the weaponisation of the food and water supplies. In some respects, this has been going on for a long time, but since 2020 there have been some new and troubling developments.
What van Hamelen (2022) calls the Great Poisoning has been taking place for decades, e.g. through:
high-fructose corn syrup commonly used in processed foods and soft drinks (Nur Bulbul et al., 2024);
widely used additives such as the sweetener aspartame, which was recently classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (WHO, 2023);
the presence of glyphosate, used in Roundup weedkiller and labelled as a “probable human carcinogen” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2015, in 80% of urine samples taken from U.S. children and adults (Gillam, 2022);
inorganic micro- and nanosized contaminants in food that are non-biodegradable, toxic, and without nutritional value (Gatti et al., 2009); and
fluoride in the drinking water of certain jurisdictions, which has “potential to cause major adverse human health problems” [Low IQ] (Peckham & Awofoso, 2014).

After quite a bit of thinking about this, I have decided that both must co-exist, but that subjective morality must only be invoked in specific circumstances wherein violations of objective morality dwell and ultimately, the integrity of objective morality is maintained.
This is where it gets interesting on the subject matter of the cabalists. I call them this - rather than globalists (in this article) - because I believe that the globalists are just an off-shoot of a much older, darker, sect of human cults... It seems to me from my own considerably shallow investigations into the history of these ‘underground’ culty people that they share a characteristic that is seated in hubris, narcissism and most importantly, ego. From what I understand, there is a separation of God as an ‘outside’ entity, and God as some kind of manifestation of man. Sort of like the idea that God made us versus we made/are God. https://jessicar.

Rising obesity and sickness levels in Western societies almost certainly have something to do with this gradual poisoning of the population.
Since 2020, however, food has been weaponized in new ways. There is a war against farmers, e.g. through the “European Green Deal,” which places extreme regulations on farmers, forcing many out of business (Vanheuckelom, 2023; van Hamelen, 2023). In China, 100 million farmers were moved off the land, while more and more food is grown inside giant greenhouses (Wood, 2023). In England, “rewilding” policies are reducing the amount of land available for agriculture, and farmers are being offered lump sum payments to leave their land (Beck, 2024). As one observer summarises the situation, “Small farmers everywhere are under attack and only massive conglomerates are able to survive, but the quality of their production is inferior and so is the health of those that consume it” (Patrick, n.d.).
Meanwhile, Bill Gates and Ted Turner, both known eugenicists who call for global depopulation, have become the first and second largest owners of farmland in the United States. https://merylnass.substack.

In the year 1962 the American scientist Allan H. Frey carried out experiments with pulsed microwaves, which produced clicking, buzz, hissing or knocking sounds in the heads of people at a distance of up to several thousands yards. In his report, he also wrote that with the change of parameters he can produce pins and needles sensation or perception of severe buffeting in the head and claimed that this energy “could possibly be used as a tool to explore nervous system coding… and for stimulating the nervous system without the damage caused by electrodes“...
..For governments it is not difficult to pulse the cell phone signals in the brain frequencies and in this way manipulate the thoughts of their own or foreign citizens. The difference between pulsed microwaves and extra long electromagnetic waves is that pulsed microwaves can be targeted on one person (or the whole nation if cell phone signals are pulsed in brain frequencies) while extra long electromagnetic waves, transmitted in brain frequencies, with their length up to 300 hundred thousands kilometers will reach brains in large areas. For sure so far the legislations around the world (except the Chile and Brazil) do not prohibit such actions to the governments or anybody else on human brains (for example Elon Musk is building system of 20.000 satellites around the planet and working on neuralink research at the same time).
Neurotechnologists around the world, who do not dare to disclose the national security information they had to sign, before starting research in the area, are calling for creation of legislations protecting people against such manipulations of their minds. https://www.globalresearch.
Morality to me is actually knowing that there is a difference between right and wrong. To act in a moral way, is to act in the “right way”, which embodies a decision to “do the right thing”. In my opinion, every single human being knows the difference between right and wrong. It’s a heart thing. Logic is more a brain thing. We can argue about what is right, and what is wrong, but I don’t want to now.
Subjective morality is thinking that what is right for you may not be right for others or vice versa. Subjective reality might be applicable according to age and circumstances. An example of this could be a child being raped, getting pregnant and wanting not to have the baby. Terminating the pregnancy might be considered to be subjectively good for this little girl, even though objectively, it might not be considered to be so. This particular morbid example of something we must all think about (because this is happening all the time) is a good example of when subjective morality can over-ride objective morality for the benefit of the community of all. Just so that you know, I think child rapists should be castrated. This would be objectively good because they wouldn’t be able to rape children anymore.
Objective morality is the big gun morality of us humans. It refers to the good and bad that certainly applies universally - the governing dynamics of humans. We all know (or perhaps feel is a better word) that some things are good, and that some things are bad. For example, hurting animals with the intention to inflict pain and suffering is bad. Objectively, it hurts the whole and breeds unnecessary conflict, chaos and pain. Making another person laugh is good. Objectively, the ripple effect of a laughing human would be beneficial for the mood of all, at least locally. But what about our little girl who was force-impregnated who does not want to be a mother yet? What is good for her? What is bad for her?
To illustrate the deployment and the nature of the balance of these moralities in decision-making, we can use the morbid example from above. Again, a person may believe that terminating pregnancies (objective morality) is bad, but this same person might also believe that in the case of this little girl, the objective morality thing doesn’t cut it, and that perhaps there must be a subjective morality invoked and deployed in her case. In other words, what is generally the right thing to do is not the right thing to do in this specific case and under these specific circumstances (age, force). This is the invocation of subjective morality; not really in lieu of objective morality, but a balancing of both.Subjective morality is thinking that what is right for you may not be right for others or vice versa.

“A total demolition of the previous forms of existence is underway: how one comes into the world, biological sex, education, relationships, the family, even the diet that is about to become synthetic.” — Silvia Guerini, radical ecologist, in ‘From the ‘Neutral’ Body to the Posthuman Cyborg: A Critique of Gender Ideology’ (2023)
We are currently seeing an acceleration of the corporate consolidation of the entire global agri-food chain. The big data conglomerates, including Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and Google, have joined traditional agribusiness giants, such as Corteva, Bayer, Cargill and Syngenta, in a quest to impose their model of food and agriculture on the world.....

..Humanity’s relationship with farming and food and our connections to land, nature and community has for millennia defined what it means to be human...
..“The past becomes something to be erased in order to break the thread that binds us to a history, to a tradition, to a belonging, for the transition towards a new uprooted humanity, without past, without memory… a new humanity dehumanised in its essence, totally in the hands of the manipulators of reality and truth”.
This dehumanised humanity severed from the past is part of the wider agenda of transhumanism. For instance, we are not just seeing a push towards a world without farmers and everything that has connected us to the soil but, according to Guerini, also a world without mothers.
She argues that those behind test-tube babies and surrogate motherhood now have their sights on genetic engineering and artificial wombs, which would cut women out of the reproductive process...

..This is being pushed by powerful interests, who, according to Guerini, are using a rainbow, transgenic left and LGBTQ+ organisations to promote a new synthetic identity and claim to new rights. She says this is an attack on life, on nature, on “what is born, as opposed to artificial” and adds that all ties to the real, natural world must be severed. https://www.globalresearch.
