Trump, the Russia-Ukraine war and empires

When Donald J. Trump talked about dividing Russia and China I would hope he wasn't being serious. The world needs a multipolar world, not an empire. Empires can do as they please, as we see from endless US wars and proxy wars and Israel's genocide in Gaza. These are the products of empires.

People with no knowledge of history may say Russia declared war on Ukraine unprovoked. That was not the case. The provocations are well known, and I have no interest in repeating them here.

The Russia-Ukraine war has always been a proxy war between the Western Empire, for want of a better term, and Russia, designed to degrade Russia's strength at any cost in terms of Ukrainian lives and infrastructure and put pressure on Putin, whom the West despise because they can't buy him or murder him (yet.)

To this end, Vladimir Zelenskyy was installed as a puppet to do the West's bidding. This is why no peace treaty is possible while the West controls Ukraine and feeds its war effort.

Trump knows this. All educated folk know this. Only buyers of Western propaganda are unaware.

The false choice between being atheist and being religious

The choice between being an atheist and a Christian or belonging to another religion is a false one. 

That doesn't automatically make a spiritual believer a "New Ager", a term often used to belittle someone, the way the word "hippy" is often used these days.

It's interesting how words are used as weapons in our world; a way to divide and denigrate other people. 

They are scorned because they don't hold on to the one great true philosophy. 

People who hold this attitude of superiority and condescension towards others are not building a better world. Their is no humility in this viewpoint.

What if we are wrong? People will point to this expert or this passage in this book, or multiple passages to prove they are right.

It's fine to hold beliefs, a philosophy, a world view. It's inevitable. As long as we don't belittle others for not sharing it.

The only way for peace to occur in this world is for us to accept others as they are, admit we don't know everything and treat people neighbourly. 

As Jesus said "love your neighbour as yourself." MARK 12:31, NIV

The Golden Rule stands: treat others as you wish to be treated. Don't belittle them, don't vilify them, accept that they are different from you, with a different soul, a different purpose and a different life experience.

Jesus and forgiveness

The teachings of Jesus are my favourite of all prophets. Being called the only son of God is interpreted by many Christians to mean something I don't agree with. The son or daughter of God (to me) is the man or woman who embodies the qualities of God while living as a human. If no one else is embodying these qualities, then a person such as Jesus could easily be described by his followers as THE ONLY SON OF GOD. The same could be said about a woman embodying these same Godly qualities. 

People will talk about the miracles Jesus performed, which signify that he was of a different quality than other humans. But Jesus himself is quoted as saying in John 14:12: 

"... I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

As for the virgin birth and the resurrection, it has been noted that a number of historical, mythical figures have been described as having the same experiences. Examples include Osiris, from Egyptian mythology, Dionysus, from Greek mythology, The Phrygian god Attis, and Krishna, the well-known Hindu god. 

Many other historical figures have had attribed to them either a virgin birth or a resurrection. 

Personally, I see Jesus a little like how the Islamic faith see him, as a great prophet, but with the exception that I see him as the great teacher of the West in particular, and also anyone around the world, particularly in Africa and South America (it would seem), who resonate with his message of love for one another, truth, peace and forgiveness, all of which are closely related and reinforce one another.

In a sense, he was a great teacher for communities as well as for the individual because hardened hearts and a lack of forgiveness cause much of the strife in the world.

When asked how often should we forgive those  who sin against us, this is what Jesus said:

"... Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."

MATTHEW 18: 21-22 NIV

This is why I see the Christian religion as the religion of forgiveness. 

In the passages above, Jesus was making it clear that we should forgive others, who are all our spiritual brothers and sisters, an unlimited number of times.

This doesn't equate to allowing other people to walk all over us. 

We should speak out when others act in a hurtful and disrespectful way towards us, but if we are to follow the path of Jesus then we are commanded to forgive others their trespasses [sins against us], just as we ask that our sins be forgiven.

After all, we are only human, and humans hurt one another, often without realising it, for a number of reasons. 

In such cases, the person who has been sinned against should make their feelings clear so that the other person becomes aware of it. 

If that person continues to sin against us, after being warned, by engaging in hurtful or condescending behaviour towards us, then it is our right to distance ourselves from that person, if possible. 

If the person asks why you have pulled away, then tell them forthrightly. 

We must be strong as well as loving, for one without the other is either dangerous or weak. 

Jesus was a strong figure and a compassionate one. 

He wasn't a love and light, hurt nobody by saying anything controversial person. Far from it. He told it as he saw it. 

Jesus attacked the privileged elites of his day for their hypocrisy. This may have got him killed. 

However, in his death, Jesus showed his courage and willingness to die for the truth.

The values of my Facebook friends

Why Trump is sucking up to Netanyahu

People don't understand why Trump is sucking up to Netanyahu, in my opinion. 

Trump knows Netanyahu is a monster. 

He's seen the destruction of Gaza and the murder of potentially hundreds of thousands of people (see the Harvard report of missing people in Gaza). 

The point is that this legal case against Bibi is a reason for him to wage continual war. Take away the legal case, and there is one less reason for him to wage these wars. 

You see, some people, of which Bibi is probably one, would prefer to see the world burn than go to prison. Israeli Prime Ministers have been sent to prison in the past, so the threat is real. 

The need is to diffuse one of the reasons Netanyahu has to wage continual war. 

Saying fawning things about Netanyahu by Trump is wise. 

For one, Trump doesn't want to be assassinated by Mossad, who are closely connected with the CIA,  who are widely held responsible, at least in part for John F. Kennedy's assassination. So he can't take on Bibi directly. That would be madness and place his life at great risk 

A Netanyahu who is not threatened by having his life ruined, which is what jail time would do, is a less dangerous Netanyahu. So it's best for that possibility to be taken off the table for now, even though the world would be a better place with him in prison, along with his cabinet members.

Trying to assassinate or overthrow Netanyahu would be madness, as well. 

For at least the reason that the the CIA is so closely connected with Mossad, who are masters at assassination. 

Trump wants to stay alive, understandably, and it's best,  in my opinion, for everyone if he does.

So for now, Bibi stays, and an unthreatened Netanyahu is a safer Netanyahu. 

What happens in the future, time will tell. 

Netanyahu and his backers are a formidable force, and Trump would be well aware of that. 

He also needed to patch up relations after his outburst against Israel recently. 

Netanyahu needs to be on Trump's side. 

No wise leader will take on Netanyahu. He's not just one man working alone. He's the tip of the spear, with powerful and highly dangerous backers. He must be treated very carefully and Israel is the Western Empire's Middle Eastern capital and one of its most important projects.

Trump can only work with those whom he is in (apparent) agreement with. 

Figures like Zelenskyy, who is a puppet of the Western Empire, cannot be worked with, because he's not making the decisions and the people behind him want ongoing war, because they are against Putin and want him out so they can control Russia. 

That would only leave China as an independent power in the world. 

That would be their last target. 

War is deception. 

If people take things at face value, they will be misled. 

The truth is often in direct opposition to what is being public stated and revealed.

How Israel is to be ultimately defeated as a brutal colonial power is an incredibly difficult proposition and how that is to occur remains to be seen.

The saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer," remains true, when one's enemies are as formidable as Benjamin Netanyahu and the global shadow government that supports him.

Being called a "conspiracy theorist"

Being a so-called "conspiracy theorist" means not believing everything officials and TV, radio, and newspaper journalists say.

So it's a very low bar.

And yet bizarrely, there are still those who are true believers in official stories and the words of media propagandists.

Never questioning anything, even when what they were told was later proven to be false.

It's like they think, yes, they lied then, but they'll never lie again.

But like they say, past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour.

In truth, the establishment are war mongers, but not Trump I don't believe, but many of the pundits on TV and elsewhere apparently seem to want the world to go up in flames, perhaps for a good news story. 

After all, "if it bleeds, it leads."

Why can't Trump stop the Gaza genocide?

I wonder what the plan is for [ending the Gaza genocide]. Trump's Iranian action was such that Congress, which is controlled by Israel/the deep state, couldn't complain. 

Even though it ended a war, they probably wanted it to be another 20-year war. 

I don't think Trump can send troops in to Gaza without Congressional and therefore Israel's approval. 

The same is true for stopping military aid. 

I'm not sure what option is open to Trump to stop the humanitarian disaster there. 

Not while Congress is owned by Israel, and Israel's Mossad kills anyone who goes against them. 

That's why Israel is so tricky to deal with. 

Similarly, Ukraine, who are being controlled by European countries and other deep state entities who want the war to continue until there are no Ukrainians left, or they run out of money, just to hurt Russia. 

The US should definitely stop all support for Ukraine. 

But once again, Congress, who are deep state controlled, wouldn't allow it.

Only Hollywood makes soldiers appear heroes

Soldiers are just wind-up toys for governments they know nothing about. If they did, they wouldn't be soldiers. The same goes for sailors and airman. 

Hollywood makes them into heroes, but they're just stupid, mindless killers. 

Unless they are truly protecting their nation, which is incredibly rare these days. 

It's all about wars of aggression driven by greedy elites, who think the common person is a fool, and they're largely right.

Colonisation and stealing from poor countries by the rich

One thing the deep state, negative elite or corporatocracy, whatever term people prefer, hates is for a country to nationalise their natural resources. 

This is when a government comes to power that takes ownership of their oil or gas reserves, timber or precious minerals from a foreign company and places it in the hands of their people on whose land it belongs. 

Colonisation of countries national wealth has been going on for hundreds of years and involves bribing or threatening local officials and a European, American or multinational company takes ownership of a country's valuable natural resources, extractioning them until they are no longer profitable, paying the local workers a pittance to extract the resources, and the wealth ends up in the hands of wealthy families in Europe and America. 

The only locals who significantly benefit financially from this practice are the officials who are bribed. What is left behind is pollution, a devastated environment and an impoverished local population, which is why it has been so difficult for nations in the global south (in South America and Africa and southern Asia) to pull themselves out of poverty.

This process was detailed in the important book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins.

Leaders who can not be bribed to give up their countries' natural resources have their lives destroyed, are overthrown in foreign backed coups, or are assassinated.

This is no game, and the number of leaders assassinated would be much greater than people realise because the techniques of murder go far beyond just a bullet to the head. Fast acting cancers can be induced, and this has happened to a number of Socialist Latin American leaders. Poisoning is another method. There are more, of course. Natural seeming heart attacks can be induced. These are just techniques that can be used. The CIA and other secret agencies are involved in these assassinations.

This is potentially why Iraq and Iran have been targeted by the West under the pretext of presenting some existential threat. It has been argued that Afghanistan was invaded to put in a gas pipeline.

Things are rarely as they are presented by the media and governments of colonising nations. Government officials are bought and controlled, and the media companies are just mouthpieces for these wealthy families.

Most wars are about the theft of natural wealth. Few leaders, no matter how strong, are able to stop this cycle, and if they do, it's usually not for long.

It has been said that the wealth of Europe is stolen from countries in the global south, especially the insane wealth of the elites. This includes the USA as well.

When people use terms such as the power elite, shadow government, Illuminati, or deep state, they are, in large part, referring to these hugely wealthy families involved in this brutal economic colonisation. 

Of course, these are not the only dark practices that these families are involved in, but that's a topic for another day.

Read David Icke to find out more about those sinister, immoral practices.

Israel, Iran and the USA

In the lead up to the US strikes on Iran, Bibi Netanyahu claimed that Iran had attempted 2 assassination attempts on Donald J. Trump, without presenting any evidence whatsoever. He's clearly a big liar and not to be trusted. I think Mossad would have been more likely to kill Trump if he refused to do Israel's bidding.

Trump had his "great success" with his bunker busting bombs.

If he leaves it there and there are no attacks on American bases that litter the area, illustrating their position as a world military empire, then peace should reign.

It's unlikely Iran would attack these bases given Trump's bellicose rhetoric, although a false flag attack by Israel remains a possibility. 

If Trump is wise he will be aware of this and not be drawn into any unnecessary extra military action that could lead to a greater conflagration.

The war should end now that the so-called objective has been reached.

Israel also need to stop killing Palestinians and limiting their access to food, water and other essential aid.

If not, all support for them from civilizated nations should end and trade sanctions applied.

Israel should be able to stand alone, anyway.

They are a wealthy, developed nation.

They also need to be held accountable for any war crimes and breaking of international law conducted over the last 21 months.

Netanyahu's corruption case should proceed, as planned, and if he is found guilty an appropriate prison sentence should be applied.

Love for our enemies

Servants of darkness are like puppets on a string, with no conscience or empathy. Servants of the light are free will individuals, who have an awakened conscience and empathy for all living things, even those who commit atrocities. 

That doesn't mean that those lost to darkness should not be put down, if necessary, but it means they are treated as a living, feeling being while they are alive.

As the Master of our age said:

[Love for Enemies]

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

MATTHEW 5:43-48. NIV

Singing our songs of existence

The safest thing to do in life is to be silent. To not speak about contentious topics, even if we have a strong viewpoint. 

Sometimes silence may be appropriate, but at other times, it is not. Those other times we are silent when we should speak out are called "sins of omission."

If we are worried about what other people might think about what we say or write then we are being controlled by them, and in a weak position.

People who know our souls, our true soul mates, will not cut us out of their lives just because of a difference of opinion.

So speak freely.

The world can only grow through more openness and communication.

It is secrecy that is the danger, as JFK warned in his famous "secret societies" speech. 

That doesn't mean airing our dirty laundry, but instead speaking of the matters that are important to us and concern us.

We may get things wrong, and it's OK for people to correct us.

How else will we know we are wrong unless we share our thoughts?

How else will we grow in our understanding?

Of course, experience is #1 in importance, but communication is also essential. 

That communication could be with a child, a disabled adult, a dog, a mouse, or a cat. 

Any living thing can teach us.

Sometimes observing is the most powerful thing we can do.

Even in observation, there can be communication. 

The trees communicate, not through words but simply by being.

All things are singing their song of existence.

We have every right to sing ours.
