Chapter 10 - Watchdog for the West (Palestine, Israel, and the US Empire)

The European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, admitted that the “era of Western dominance has indeed definitively ended”. He warned that the EU must not divide the world into “the West against the Rest”, as “many in the ‘Global South’ accuse us of ‘double standards’”. Ben Norton analyzes the historic shift.

The truth about China's economy: Debunking Western media myths

Israel is carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people and "systematic destruction of every aspect necessary to sustain life in Gaza", United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese detailed in her report titled "Anatomy of a Genocide". Ben Norton analyzes the political context.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, UN human rights expert explains

Israel has ended its assault on the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, because there is nothing left to assault. The facility - the largest medical complex in Gaza where hundreds of civilians had been sheltering - is now an empty, unusable, burnt-out husk. Witnesses report hundreds of corpses in and around the complex, with video footage showing human body parts protruding from the earth and bodies with zip ties on their wrists.

Israel's Savage Destruction Of Gaza's Healthcare System Is Exactly What It Looks Like

In the span of just a few hours we learned that Israel committed a horrific massacre at al-Shifa hospital, struck an Iranian consulate in Syria killing multiple Iranian military officers, and killed a vehicle full of international aid workers in an airstrike. This murderous regime is out of control.

Israel Keeps Getting More Murderous

Stop telling us about the president’s feelings. Stop telling us he’s “angry” and “frustrated” with Israel. No one cares. Nobody gives a shit how Biden’s feelings feel about the government he’s helping carry out a genocide. All that matters is that he’s helping them commit genocide.

Stop Reporting On Biden's Angry Feelings Toward Israel. It's Not News. It's Not Interesting.

Israel has generously and compassionately reopened the Erez crossing to allow aid into Gaza, as it is the only way to ensure that the US will keep sending them weapons to kill the people in Gaza.

Israel Lets Some Aid Into Gaza So The US Will Keep Giving It Weapons To Kill People In Gaza

This is the same CNN who at the time reported on the Flour Massacre in ways that advanced Israel's information interests with headlines completely exonerating Israel of any wrongdoing like "At least 100 killed and 700 injured in chaotic incident" and "Carnage at Gaza food aid site amid Israeli gunfire". CNN also repeatedly refers to the killings as "food aid deaths", as though it's the food aid that killed them and not the military of a very specific state power.

CNN Finally Tells The Truth About The Flour Massacre After Previously Shilling For Israel

Mathew Crawford discusses his research into Covid-19 and bacteriological warfare, his discovery how some in the Medical Freedom Movement (MFM) don't seem to be fighting for freedom, and how this led him to discover links between alternative media, fake opposition, the occult, and military-intelligence.  He looks into theosophy, Nazism, Scientology, Falun Gong, 1960s counter-culture, MK-ULTRA, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and the plans for a New World Order. He believes independence movements (e.g. India) were steered. He questions Bitcoin and says that the military-occult-banking-syndicate virtually has all the power. We are in a pickle!

Mathew Crawford: The Military-Occult-Banking-Syndicate Has All the Power #433

Israel prepares for a bigger war in Gaza despite its failures and the global condemnation for the invasion of Rafah. Even though Hamas has agreed to a deal, Joe Biden claims the problem with reaching a ceasefire is Hamas and the Palestinian resistance.
