Meanwhile, Israel takes it by force, then spreads Islamophobic hate against the Palestinian Muslims who have kept the peace for a millenium between 6 ancient Christian churches who can't coexist peacefully without them.

"For over 850 years, two Palestinian Muslim families have been entrusted with the keys to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the holiest shrine for Christianity. The keys were created on July 15, 1149. The leader Salah Al-Din (Saladin) assigned the keys to the Joudeh Al-Husseini family on February 10, 1187, as the sole legitimate custodian of the keys and for the Nuseibeh family to open and close the doors of the church. These two Palestinian Muslim families have been performing this duty of honor every single day in a spirit of goodwill and respect for both faiths."

- Yousef Kanfar for World Literature Today

When somebody lies, call them out The Church of the Holy Sepulchre has existed for more than 1000 yrs under Muslim custodianship & it’s a Muslim family that have been entrusted with its keys by the various Christian sects Fact: You cannot be a Muslim if you do not respect Jesus Yoel Israel @YoelTIsrael Fact: If it wasn't for Israel, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre would have been ransacked and converted into a mosque. Ironically, this is the reason why they are hating on Israel... Because only Israel, not Christians, can and are willing to defend Christian holy sites. 8:19 - 30 Mar 26 - 127K Views

New World Order

"We have enemies. They are not in Palestine. They are not in Lebanon. They are not in Iran. They are here. Among us."

"They dictate our lives. They are traitors to our ideals. They are traitors to our country. They envision a world of slaves & masters."

"Gaza is only the start. There are no internal mechanisms for reform."

"We can obstruct or surrender. Those are the only choices left."

Tom Chapman is American and knew nothing about Pierre Poilievre until making this tweet in 2021 and being educated on our National Disgrace. 24 hours after, Tom followed up with this:

Wow, this blew up. I have nothing to sell but I do want to thank you all for enlightening me about Mr. Poilievre, or as one of you put it, "the Marco Rubio of Ted Cruz's."

Note in the famous poem "First They Came" by Pastor Martin Niemöller, there is a concerted effort to pretend the first 3 parts out of 5 doesn't exist:

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak …

First They Came Pastor Martin Niemöller First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
Tom Chapman @realTomChapman: As a Holocaust educator I can confirm you couldn't be more wrong. Communists & socialists were the first groups rounded up by the Nazis & hauled off to concentration camps. I'm told you're a Canadian member of parliament. How embarrassing for you... Quoting pierrepoilievre @PierrePoilievre: Woke left goes crazy when people point out the undeniable historical fact that "national socialists" in Germany & Italy were, as the name proves, "socialists".

Report: "Less than 14 percent of those arrested by immigration officials during Trump’s first year had charges or convictions for violent offenses."

The DHS data confirms the falsity of Trump's claim that his "priority is those with criminal backgrounds".

Trump has fired Noem when the DHS isn’t being funded due to "a partial government shutdown, which began as Democrats sought to reform DHS."

Now consider how the world would react if ANYBODY were to bomb America and murder Americans and American children, with the excuse that "Trump is evil and Republicans must be overthrown".

While we all agree with that, nobody would ever consider that would justify the bombing of a (white) nation.

So why is it so easy for some to completely suspend any rational sense of humanity to justify bombing Iran's capital, killing in just one example well over 100 out of only 170 people from just one single girls school out of countless other targets, with the exact same justification?

The answer is chillingly simple: Islamophobia. Hate and division which allows us to see other people as "not people".

If this had anything to do with expelling "evil leaders" then the same justification could be used to bomb the US. The same justification could be used …

"Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation"

Big Tech has long discussed which of us are worth saving. Their answer is "the richer the worthier."

Via Musk, Thiel, et al, this fascist eugenics is now operating as US Trump govt policy

Emails between Epstein & Al theorist Joscha Bach discuss "biological hierarchy; racial destiny; gender determinism; genetic optimisation; population culling; & fascism as efficiency." "These ideas moved through Epstein-funded institutions... & the Al networks now exerting growing influence." Bach: "Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation... the earth's forest fire... potentially a good thing for the species." "Too many people... mass executions of the elderly & infirm make sense. If the brain discards unused neurons, why should society keep their equivalent”. “Treating individuals in a society as cells & the society itself as a well-organized organism is fascism. Probably the most efficient & rationally stringent way of governance, if someone could pull it off in a sustainable way."

Listening to this very interesting talk with Alana Lentin on her latest book The New Racial Regime: Calibrations of White Supremacy. Great hard facts about colonialisation, the Zionist entity's role for the West, and much more.

I've read a few books recently. Here are a few thoughts on them.

The books are:

* Joe Sacco - The Once and Future Riot
* Lee Lai - Stone Fruit
* John Berger - About Looking
* Denis Johnson - Jesus' Son [still reading this one, to be fair]
* Robert Macfarlane - Underland

@bookstodon@a.gup.pe @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

Lee Lai and their book 'Stone Fruit'.
The cover of Robert Macfarlane's 'Underland': trees as nerves as communication as interconnectedness.
Brightly-coloured front of Denis Johnson's short-story collection äJesus' Son'.
The brilliant cover for John Berger's 'About Looking'. People watching animals through a hinder. Says a lot about the book, actually.

The calls for a nationwide shut down are growing louder, spoken by more and more people. January 30 NO WORK NO SCHOOL NO SHOPPING https://www.instagram.com/p/DT9ULZQjFUU/

The new Emma Monk blog explores the issue of the lack of vetting in the Metropolitan Police (with some stark data), the Q. of the role of 'diversity hires' & how this has all be presented in the Right wing press.

As she concludes, these papers 'aren’t informing the public. They’re manufacturing a worldview'!
