    Brazil's Age Verification Law is in Effect, Ubuntu Being Monitored for Compliance

    <https://lunduke.substack.com/p/brazils-age-verification-law-is-in>

    Brazil monitoring 37 companies, including Canonical, Valve, & more.
    System76 bans users for asking about age verification. Rockstar Games &
    Arch Linux 32 restrict access in Brazil.

    My take: The age of privacy is now effectively over. If you use Linux,
    it will be because you truly believe that it is a superior operating
    system, not because you believe that it will improve your privacy or
    security.

    More build-up for the world-wide Electronic Gulag. That's the real reason corporations are so crazed about this AI bullshit. I hope Iran knocks some more server farms while they're at it.

    I think you're mistaken here. I've seen the satellite images. There's basically no radars or working U.S. bases left in the Gulf (or even Jordan). And now they're hitting Israel after yet another "decapitation" murder by
    the genocidal Zionists. I know the Strait of Hormuz is still closed (to all but the Chinese, it seems). Meanwhile the U.S. is keeping their battle ships far out of range, while Trump (who claims the Iranians are decimated) is whining that no one in NATO will help. (He wants their ships to get blown
    up.) So which is it? Are the Iranians defeated, or does Trump need the help
    of the NATO countries (the ones he keeps leveling tariffs on and insulting). If the war is over, why does NATO matter to him? It doesn't add up.

    Good. Idaho Power claims that any server farm built in their territory has
    to be paid for by the companies building the server farms, but then they
    tried raise our rates 17% this year because of "growth." The Idaho Utilities Commission (or whatever it's called in this state) "only" let them increase the rates by 10%. I think they had already increased the rates by 7% last year. So, when this new infrastructure is put in and paid for, will they reduce the rates again? (Yeah, right.) Idaho Power is not just Idaho Power anymore. They call themselves IdahoCorp (a holding company) which is
    involved with other businesses. (I'm guessing these are financed by profits from Idaho Power.) I shouldn't complain though, our rates are still much
    lower than most of the country. Most of the power is generated by damns that were built years ago.

    As I explained to my wife, NATO allies stepping to defend the Strait is evidence that there is still a point to there even being a NATO. If the

    are unwilling to do so, NATO might as well cease to exist.

    NATO should have been disbanded 35 years ago when the Soviet Union
    collapsed.

    Iran is hitting more and more of the U.S. owned oil infrastructure in the Gulf. Apparently they hit the Saudi Arabia's Red Sea terminal for their pipeline that was supposed to avoid the trouble in the Persian Gulf. (I
    pretty much saw that coming.) Gas is now up to $4.09 a gallon where I live (was at $2.69 a gallon when Trump and NutYahoo started this war). This is
    what you get when you have warmongering moron and a genocidal NutYahoo butt kisser for a president.

    Iran has (apparently) hit Saudi Arabia's "alternate route" — an oil pipeline to the Red Sea at Yanbu. I pretty much figured that would happen. I guess maybe the U.S. and Israel shouldn't have started bombing Iran's oil facilities. What comes around goes around.

    Iran is also threatening to cut the underwater Internet cables in the Gulf
    and the Red Sea. Which would disrupt 17% of worldwide Internet traffic (the Gulf States have huge AI server farms on their territory).

    Iran is threatening to cut off underwater Internet cables to the Gulf
    states if they continue to host American military forces there.

    Cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea transmit 17%
    of the world's traffic, including to artificial intelligence centers in
    the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which could potentially lead to months-long
    disruptions in operations.

    This war could very well destroy the "West's" economy. Trump was warned
    about this but the moron "knew better."

    I think you're mistaken here. I've seen the satellite images. There's
    basically no radars or working U.S. bases left in the Gulf (or even Jordan).
    And now they're hitting Israel after yet another "decapitation" murder by >>> the genocidal Zionists. I know the Strait of Hormuz is still closed (to all >>> but the Chinese, it seems). Meanwhile the U.S. is keeping their battle ships
    far out of range, while Trump (who claims the Iranians are decimated) is >>> whining that no one in NATO will help. (He wants their ships to get blown >>> up.) So which is it? Are the Iranians defeated, or does Trump need the help >>> of the NATO countries (the ones he keeps leveling tariffs on and insulting).
    If the war is over, why does NATO matter to him? It doesn't add up.

    As I explained to my wife, NATO allies stepping to defend the Strait is
    evidence that there is still a point to there even being a NATO. If the
    United States is to be tasked with defending the European "allies," they
    should at least be willing to help Americans in this one task. If they
    are unwilling to do so, NATO might as well cease to exist.

    NATO should have been disbanded 35 years ago when the Soviet Union
    collapsed.

    I could understand that they wanted it to stick around for a little bit,
    just to see if the Communist garbage was going to re-emerge. However, considering how little the "allies" actually invested in it, the
    American governments should have been in a hurry to disband it.

    Iran is hitting more and more of the U.S. owned oil infrastructure in the Gulf. Apparently they hit the Saudi Arabia's Red Sea terminal for their pipeline that was supposed to avoid the trouble in the Persian Gulf. (I pretty much saw that coming.) Gas is now up to $4.09 a gallon where I live (was at $2.69 a gallon when Trump and NutYahoo started this war). This is what you get when you have warmongering moron and a genocidal NutYahoo butt kisser for a president.

    Iran has (apparently) hit Saudi Arabia's "alternate route" — an oil pipeline
    to the Red Sea at Yanbu. I pretty much figured that would happen. I guess maybe the U.S. and Israel shouldn't have started bombing Iran's oil facilities. What comes around goes around.

    Iran is also threatening to cut the underwater Internet cables in the Gulf and the Red Sea. Which would disrupt 17% of worldwide Internet traffic (the Gulf States have huge AI server farms on their territory).

    Iran is threatening to cut off underwater Internet cables to the Gulf
    states if they continue to host American military forces there.

    Cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea transmit 17%
    of the world's traffic, including to artificial intelligence centers in
    the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which could potentially lead to months-long
    disruptions in operations.

    This war could very well destroy the "West's" economy. Trump was warned
    about this but the moron "knew better."

    Honestly, what this war _should_ do is encourage North Americans to
    demand that the oil supplies of our continent actually deliver the
    product. There is no excuse for Canada capping Alberta in the knees and preventing them from transporting their oil to the East coast, and there
    is no reason for anyone to buy from the Middle East when there is oil
    near us in Venezuela either. Either way, I know that Iran was indeed a
    serious threat and since I know that Islam and their terror is a genuine problem in the West, I am happy to see the Americans and Israel
    decimating their sponsors. I can spend another few bucks on gas if I
    know that the muhammedans and their awful religion loses influence.

    How can they possibly prevent Canonical, or anyone else, from offering
    downloads without this garbage? They can't.

    I hope you're right, but I wouldn't be sure about it.

    Worst case, someone will branch it and offer it without the garbage.

    FWIW I do not, nor I ever believed in regime/nation building.
    While not an isolationist I believe Trump needs to concentrate on America instead of
    interfering all over the world. He campaigned on that. We are not the world's piggy bank nor
    the world's protector.
    The problem is that at least in the ME, these people are religious fanatics
    and are determined to wipe anyone who doesn't believe as they do, off the map. And they will if not checked. If that is even possible and long term, let's just say I have my doubts.

    So it's a complex issue and as usual all sides are lying to some degree.
    At this point I see no long term solution.
    I hope I am wrong though.

    No one is killing Usenet. Its decline is organic and not forced.

    Well, subscribing to an ISP usually resulted in you getting the settings
    for their Usenet server should you care to join. Since a Congressman
    complained at the turn of the century, ISPs don't even have Usenet
    servers anymore.

    That's true, but that was basically ended about twenty years ago.

    Was it the witch hunt they ended or Usenet? Either way, the result is
    the same. The fact remains that if people want a real conversation,
    there is a greater chance that they will find it on Usenet than they
    would on heavily left-biased Reddit. Here, people can control who they
    read and don't, and they can learn how to use a filter for the people
    who are simply abusive. On Reddit, the filter is applied for you and it
    isn't against abusive people; it's against people with the wrong
    opinion. By destroying Usenet, Congress also destroyed conversation.

    More build-up for the world-wide Electronic Gulag. That's the real reason

    NATO should have been disbanded 35 years ago when the Soviet Union
    collapsed.

    I could understand that they wanted it to stick around for a little bit,
    just to see if the Communist garbage was going to re-emerge. However,
    considering how little the "allies" actually invested in it, the
    American governments should have been in a hurry to disband it.

    Iran is hitting more and more of the U.S. owned oil infrastructure in the >>> Gulf. Apparently they hit the Saudi Arabia's Red Sea terminal for their

    This war could very well destroy the "West's" economy. Trump was warned
    about this but the moron "knew better."

    Honestly, what this war _should_ do is encourage North Americans to
    demand that the oil supplies of our continent actually deliver the
    product. There is no excuse for Canada capping Alberta in the knees and
    preventing them from transporting their oil to the East coast, and there
    is no reason for anyone to buy from the Middle East when there is oil
    near us in Venezuela either. Either way, I know that Iran was indeed a
    serious threat and since I know that Islam and their terror is a genuine
    problem in the West, I am happy to see the Americans and Israel
    decimating their sponsors. I can spend another few bucks on gas if I
    know that the muhammedans and their awful religion loses influence.

    In what way, specifically, was Iran a "serious threat" to the West?

    They sponsored the terrorist groups in Gaza and Lebanon in particular
    which enforced Islamic values in the country and caused anyone with
    common sense to escape the country. This wouldn't be a significant issue
    if Islamists didn't integrate the ranks of the people with common sense
    to flood the West with like-minded barbarians who want to take over our society and enact Sharia law. Similarly, the West was still in a
    position that if Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, it could retaliate and put the country in its place. Had they been allowed to
    continue stockpiling weapons and working towards the nukes as they
    provably were (they had enriched the uranium to 60% <https://armscontrolcenter.org/irans-stockpile-of-highly-enriched-uranium-worth-bargaining-for/>),
    they would have eventually been in a position where they could do
    whatever they wish around there and the West would have had no way of retaliating.

    I will say this once again: America and Israel are not the bad guys here.

    The only
    thing it was a serious threat to was genocidal NutYahoo's "Greater Israel." Israel and the United States are the ones who started this war (and the one in June, 2025) not Iran.

    I applaud them for starting the war before it would have turned into
    something much worse for us to deal with. The same way that Islam is a
    poison, Iran is a snake.

    That was the case with my ISP. It takes a lot of terabytes to host a

    There's always Blocknews and Usenet-News.net. They're both cheap and

    they would have eventually been in a position where they could do
    whatever they wish around there and the West would have had no way of retaliating.

    Gaza and Lebanon are not the "West." We sponsor the worst terrorist group in the world, the genocidal Israelis. Who's land is being taken on the West
    Bank, Gaza and in Syria and Lebanon? It's definitely not Israeli land that's being stolen.

    You talk about Sharia law, but totally ignore the Jews referring to non-Jews as "goyim," (cattle). Their Talmud teaches that land owned by the goyim can
    be taken at any time. It's considered "unoccupied land" because no "people" live there. The Jews teach that they are "exceptional" the "chosen" people. Really the *only* people. All others are animals. That's why they have no problem murdering women and children when they "mow the grass" in Gaza. NutYahoo refers to the Gazans as "Amaleks" the tribe God told true
    (Biblical) Israel to wipe out — every man, woman and child. They apply this bullshit to the Gazans. And AIPAC (Rothschilds) in the U.S. gives cover for these genocidal thugs.

    So, no, I'm not in favor of Sharia law, but more harm to "West" is done to
    us because of the Rothschild control of our countries. And our support for
    the Israeli genocidal thugs means our government(s) is (are) also genocidal.

    As for immigration to Western countries, blame the U.S. and Israel for destroying Middle East governments and sewing chaos to weaken their
    opponents. Also blame the Western countries for allowing this immigration because the Rothschilds (via Soros and his displacement actions) want to
    wipe out the white race.

    I will say this once again: America and Israel are not the bad guys here.

    I will say again, Israel is a genocidal thug country and the U.S. is guilty
    of genocide because our Rothschild controlled government supports genocidal Israel. It's insanity.

    The only
    thing it was a serious threat to was genocidal NutYahoo's "Greater Israel." >> Israel and the United States are the ones who started this war (and the one >> in June, 2025) not Iran.

    I applaud them for starting the war before it would have turned into something much worse for us to deal with. The same way that Islam is a poison, Iran is a snake.

    What was going to to "turn into something much worse?" Sorry, but you're gullible to believe the genocidal NutYahoo and his warmongering moron and
    butt leach, Trump. NutYahoo dreams of "Greater Israel," and he can only have it after destroying all other countries in the Middle East. And we, in the Rothschild controlled "West," are empowering this genocidal maniac in his drive to steal "the lands of the goyim."

    Don't be gullible about Israel's motives just because your government is allowing the Muslim (mostly Arab, not Persian) immigrants to run roughshod
    in your country. That's the result of another Rothschild (Jewish) pogrom — the planned destruction of the white race.

    In what way, specifically, was Iran a "serious threat" to the West?

    They sponsored the terrorist groups in Gaza and Lebanon in particular
    which enforced Islamic values in the country and caused anyone with
    common sense to escape the country. This wouldn't be a significant issue
    if Islamists didn't integrate the ranks of the people with common sense
    to flood the West with like-minded barbarians who want to take over our
    society and enact Sharia law. Similarly, the West was still in a
    position that if Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, it could
    retaliate and put the country in its place. Had they been allowed to
    continue stockpiling weapons and working towards the nukes as they
    provably were (they had enriched the uranium to 60%
    <https://armscontrolcenter.org/irans-stockpile-of-highly-enriched-uranium-worth-bargaining-for/>),
    they would have eventually been in a position where they could do
    whatever they wish around there and the West would have had no way of
    retaliating.

    Gaza and Lebanon are not the "West." We sponsor the worst terrorist group in the world, the genocidal Israelis. Who's land is being taken on the West Bank, Gaza and in Syria and Lebanon? It's definitely not Israeli land that's being stolen.

    You talk about Sharia law, but totally ignore the Jews referring to non-Jews as "goyim," (cattle). Their Talmud teaches that land owned by the goyim can be taken at any time. It's considered "unoccupied land" because no "people" live there. The Jews teach that they are "exceptional" the "chosen" people. Really the *only* people. All others are animals. That's why they have no problem murdering women and children when they "mow the grass" in Gaza. NutYahoo refers to the Gazans as "Amaleks" the tribe God told true
    (Biblical) Israel to wipe out — every man, woman and child. They apply this bullshit to the Gazans. And AIPAC (Rothschilds) in the U.S. gives cover for these genocidal thugs.

    So, no, I'm not in favor of Sharia law, but more harm to "West" is done to
    us because of the Rothschild control of our countries. And our support for the Israeli genocidal thugs means our government(s) is (are) also genocidal.

    As for immigration to Western countries, blame the U.S. and Israel for destroying Middle East governments and sewing chaos to weaken their opponents. Also blame the Western countries for allowing this immigration because the Rothschilds (via Soros and his displacement actions) want to
    wipe out the white race.

    I will say this once again: America and Israel are not the bad guys here.

    I will say again, Israel is a genocidal thug country and the U.S. is guilty of genocide because our Rothschild controlled government supports genocidal Israel. It's insanity.

    The only
    thing it was a serious threat to was genocidal NutYahoo's "Greater Israel." >>> Israel and the United States are the ones who started this war (and the one >>> in June, 2025) not Iran.

    I applaud them for starting the war before it would have turned into
    something much worse for us to deal with. The same way that Islam is a
    poison, Iran is a snake.

    What was going to to "turn into something much worse?" Sorry, but you're gullible to believe the genocidal NutYahoo and his warmongering moron and butt leach, Trump. NutYahoo dreams of "Greater Israel," and he can only have it after destroying all other countries in the Middle East. And we, in the Rothschild controlled "West," are empowering this genocidal maniac in his drive to steal "the lands of the goyim."

    Don't be gullible about Israel's motives just because your government is allowing the Muslim (mostly Arab, not Persian) immigrants to run roughshod
    in your country. That's the result of another Rothschild (Jewish) pogrom — the planned destruction of the white race.


    Notice Crude is referencing Iran's actions *after we attacked them* (at
    the request of Netanyahu and other rogue Israeli interests). It
    couldn't be that we're putting ourselves in danger by attacking, oh no,
    it must be that these "muhammedans" were secretly plotting against us.
    No need for evidence or the slightest basis for this idiotic bigotry.

    He is why white supremacy and power must be eradicated.

    And now they're hitting Israel after yet another "decapitation" murder by
    the genocidal Zionists. I know the Strait of Hormuz is still closed (to all

    Somewhat true but your origins are suspect.

    The elite want to take over the world. They want a 2 class society which means the ultra wealthy and the rest of this. And additionally they want this to be global.
    The entire idea behind globalism is to bring down the powerful countries, like the USA
    to the same level as the 3rd world nations so that we are "all the same" and thus
    can be controlled and manipulated by the elite.

    It's all about money and power.




    I will say this once again: America and Israel are not the bad guys here.

    I will say again, Israel is a genocidal thug country and the U.S. is guilty of genocide because our Rothschild controlled government supports genocidal Israel. It's insanity.

    I disagree.

    In modern times please list genocidal actions performed by Israel.
    Not defense tactics but overt, unprovoked operations.

    You are way out there with this one Ron.
    Both Israel and the Arab countries, under various names, have been battling this since the days of the old testament Bible
    IMHO from my limited knowledge, both sides make reasonable arguments.



    Don't be gullible about Israel's motives just because your government is allowing the Muslim (mostly Arab, not Persian) immigrants to run roughshod in your country. That's the result of another Rothschild (Jewish) pogrom — the planned destruction of the white race.

    Well of course Israel wants their land to remain theirs as do the Arab countries.
    I don't dispute that.

    However, from a USA perspective Israel doesn't want those unlike them, that's us,
    wiped off the earth.
    Israel didn't knock down the twin towers.
    Israel isn't trying to attack the usa, look at the last few weeks.
    Etc.

    Any evidence of Israel plotting bombs, terrorism in the USA?

    they would have eventually been in a position where they could do
    whatever they wish around there and the West would have had no way of
    retaliating.

    Gaza and Lebanon are not the "West." We sponsor the worst terrorist group in
    the world, the genocidal Israelis. Who's land is being taken on the West
    Bank, Gaza and in Syria and Lebanon? It's definitely not Israeli land that's
    being stolen.

    Why are you so sure that the land belongs to anyone other than Israel?
    Both sides have reasonable arguments as to who owns the land.
    What do you base your comments on?

    What are the "reasonable" arguments for Israel stealing Palestinian land? The Palestinians (in good faith) took them in during and after World War II,
    only to have the bastards steal the land from their hosts. Israel is
    parasite country. Calling modern Israel the Israel of the Bible, doesn't
    make it so. That Israel ceased to exist in 70 A.D. It's purpose was
    fulfilled.

    You talk about Sharia law, but totally ignore the Jews referring to non-Jews
    as "goyim," (cattle). Their Talmud teaches that land owned by the goyim can >> be taken at any time. It's considered "unoccupied land" because no "people" >> live there.

    Ok.
    So in modern times, where are examples of Jews attacking those unlike them, meaning
    Christians etc?

    Gaza. Lebanon. Syria — and, using (mostly) the United States as their proxy, Iraq and Iran. The Israelis have no problem killing Christian Palestinians
    and Lebanese as well as Muslims. Every month they steal more land on the
    West Bank. Thugs from the United States (dual citizens of the U.S. and
    Israel) go to the West Bank, cut down orchards, kill sheep and burn down Palestinian homes. After all, they're only goyim, aren't they? And this is "unoccupied" land. No "people" live there and own property.

    Do you have concrete evidence of Jews invading hostile areas and raping, killing
    people, taking hostages and so forth?
    Where is the evidence?

    Have you been totally ignoring the news of the genocide in Gaza and the
    theft of land in the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria? You need to widen your scope of reading beyond the MSM (owned and controlled by the Rothschild cabal).

    It takes about 10 seconds to dig up atrocious crimes of October 7th.

    Compared to sixty years of Israelis "mowing the grass" in the open air gulag of Gaza? How many Israelis died on October 7th (and how many were killed by "friendly" fire)? How many tens of thousands of Gazans have been murdered or starved out by the genocidal thugs in Israel? There's no comparison. You
    would have to be completely blind not to see the discrepancy. (How many Iranians die each day now in Iran because of U.S. and Israeli carpet bombing of Tehran?) Wake up and smell the reality.

    Any equivalent done by Jews?

    No, no equivalent. The Israelis are genocidal. The Palestinians are
    oppressed and have the right to try to break out of their prison and take
    back the land stolen from them. And Iran has the right to support their
    cause. Point, blank, period.

    So, no, I'm not in favor of Sharia law, but more harm to "West" is done to >> us because of the Rothschild control of our countries. And our support for >> the Israeli genocidal thugs means our government(s) is (are) also genocidal.

    Yikes!
    Let's just say your Rothschild theory is true, they are interested in economic control
    and IMHO could care less about Sharia law, Christianity and so forth.

    You are aware of AIPAC right? You do know that almost every Congresslug
    takes bribes from these foreign agents, correct? AIPAC doesn't exist in a vacuum. It was created by somebody for some purpose. Start learning a little about the reality of this specific situation and the Rothschild "dynasty's" support for Zionism. I can't do all the work for you. You have to try to
    learn something on your own.

    As for immigration to Western countries, blame the U.S. and Israel for
    destroying Middle East governments and sewing chaos to weaken their
    opponents. Also blame the Western countries for allowing this immigration >> because the Rothschilds (via Soros and his displacement actions) want to
    wipe out the white race.

    Somewhat true but your origins are suspect.

    Only if you're not aware of what's going on. This is happening all over the "West" — basically since we destroyed Libya for no good reason. Doesn't it occur to you that this sort of thing doesn't "just happen?"

    The elite want to take over the world. They want a 2 class society which means
    the ultra wealthy and the rest of this. And additionally they want this to be global.
    The entire idea behind globalism is to bring down the powerful countries, like the USA
    to the same level as the 3rd world nations so that we are "all the same" and thus
    can be controlled and manipulated by the elite.

    And who are the "elite" who want this? Look at the "Messiah" the Jews are waiting for. He's not the sacrificial lamb of the Christians. From the Jews point of view the Messiah will physically rule over the world with an iron rod. If you want to put a name to the "elite" look into the Rothschild cabal and their many allies. Look at the Talmud — look into the Biblical "synagogue of satan" and to those whom Jesus said "made the law of God on non-effect." Look at whom Christ condemns as the children of satan, who murdered the prophets and have the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on Earth. It's not the Muslims Jesus is talking about. It's the satanists who rejected their Messiah.

    It's all about money and power.

    And controlled by satan.


    I will say this once again: America and Israel are not the bad guys here. >>
    I will say again, Israel is a genocidal thug country and the U.S. is guilty >> of genocide because our Rothschild controlled government supports genocidal >> Israel. It's insanity.

    I disagree.

    In modern times please list genocidal actions performed by Israel.
    Not defense tactics but overt, unprovoked operations.

    Every attack on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran that the genocidal Jews have undertaken in the last 60 years. Every one, except
    (maybe) the October 7th attack. Israel responded to October 7th with
    genocidal attacks on the civilians of Palestinian. Murdering and starving tens of thousands of civilians (women and children), committing various war
    crimes (for which NutYahoo was found guilty), including carpet bombing, starvation, cutting off water and electricity to the prisoners of the Gaza gulag and purposely bombing hospitals, mosques and Christian churches. All
    of these fall under the definition of war crimes.

    The only
    thing it was a serious threat to was genocidal NutYahoo's "Greater Israel."
    Israel and the United States are the ones who started this war (and the one
    in June, 2025) not Iran.

    I applaud them for starting the war before it would have turned into
    something much worse for us to deal with. The same way that Islam is a
    poison, Iran is a snake.

    What was going to to "turn into something much worse?" Sorry, but you're
    gullible to believe the genocidal NutYahoo and his warmongering moron and >> butt leach, Trump. NutYahoo dreams of "Greater Israel," and he can only have
    it after destroying all other countries in the Middle East. And we, in the >> Rothschild controlled "West," are empowering this genocidal maniac in his >> drive to steal "the lands of the goyim."

    You are way out there with this one Ron.
    Both Israel and the Arab countries, under various names, have been battling this since the days of the old testament Bible
    IMHO from my limited knowledge, both sides make reasonable arguments.

    No, unfortunately you're ignorant about the facts. You rely too much on the Rothschild owned and operated MSM.

    And no, modern Israel is NOT the Israel of the Bible. Most modern Israelis descend from the Khazars, a Turkic people who converted to Rabbinic Judaism
    in the 8th century A.D. Note the term "rabbinic" — this means NOT Biblical. The Biblical "Jews" (actually Israelites, the Jews were only one tribe)
    ended in 70 A.D. The purpose of the Old testament religion was to bring to
    us the Messiah. That purpose was fulfilled when the Temple veil was torn
    from top to bottom at Christ's death on the Cross. There is no Old Testament religion. Rabbinic Judaism is based the satanic Babylonian Talmud (codified "traditions of the elders" that Christ said made the law of God of non-effect").

    Zionisms is a political movement, sponsored by the Rothschild's (and allies) in their goal to control the world. That is their "Messiah."

    Don't be gullible about Israel's motives just because your government is
    allowing the Muslim (mostly Arab, not Persian) immigrants to run roughshod >> in your country. That's the result of another Rothschild (Jewish) pogrom —
    the planned destruction of the white race.

    Well of course Israel wants their land to remain theirs as do the Arab countries.
    I don't dispute that.

    Land they stole.

    However, from a USA perspective Israel doesn't want those unlike them, that's us,
    wiped off the earth.
    Israel didn't knock down the twin towers.
    Israel isn't trying to attack the usa, look at the last few weeks.
    Etc.

    Iran didn't knock down the Twin Towers either. That was mostly our "good buddies" in Saudi Arabia. But we attacked the Iraqis for it. Because the Iraqis were the next on the Israel list of Arab countries they wanted destroyed. Hussein had earlier been our ally in another of our unprovoked
    wars against Iran. We provided him with chemical weapons he used to kill and maim 100s of thousands of Iranians.

    Yay for the virtuous United States and their masters in Israel!

    Any evidence of Israel plotting bombs, terrorism in the USA?

    Any evidence of Iran plotting bombs, terrorism in the USA?

    Sorry, I don't buy into the anti-Iranian bullshit. I don't support genocidal (and satanic) Israel.

    Why are you so sure that the land belongs to anyone other than Israel?
    Both sides have reasonable arguments as to who owns the land.
    What do you base your comments on?

    What are the "reasonable" arguments for Israel stealing Palestinian land? The
    Palestinians (in good faith) took them in during and after World War II, only to have the bastards steal the land from their hosts. Israel is parasite country. Calling modern Israel the Israel of the Bible, doesn't make it so. That Israel ceased to exist in 70 A.D. It's purpose was fulfilled.

    Israel claims a combination of their God of the Bible and history proves it's their land.
    Basically they claim to be the indigenous people of the land and for thousands of years.
    Various archaeological evidence.

    And the Palestinians claim similar reasons although technically they didn't exist as a group
    until sometime in the 1960's. However the ancient people of the area, Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians,
    and others can be traced to modern day people as well.

    And then of course in modern times we have the disaster the UN caused which has resulted
    in the political angle being pushed currently.


    You talk about Sharia law, but totally ignore the Jews referring to non-Jews
    as "goyim," (cattle). Their Talmud teaches that land owned by the goyim can
    be taken at any time. It's considered "unoccupied land" because no "people"
    live there. The Jews teach that they are "exceptional" the "chosen" people.
    Really the *only* people. All others are animals. That's why they have no >>> problem murdering women and children when they "mow the grass" in Gaza. >>> NutYahoo refers to the Gazans as "Amaleks" the tribe God told true
    (Biblical) Israel to wipe out — every man, woman and child. They apply this
    bullshit to the Gazans. And AIPAC (Rothschilds) in the U.S. gives cover for
    these genocidal thugs.

    Ok.
    So in modern times, where are examples of Jews attacking those unlike them, meaning
    Christians etc?

    Gaza. Lebanon. Syria — and, using (mostly) the United States as their proxy,
    Iraq and Iran. The Israelis have no problem killing Christian Palestinians and Lebanese as well as Muslims. Every month they steal more land on the West Bank. Thugs from the United States (dual citizens of the U.S. and Israel) go to the West Bank, cut down orchards, kill sheep and burn down Palestinian homes. After all, they're only goyim, aren't they? And this is "unoccupied" land. No "people" live there and own property.

    It's a war.
    However, do you have some cites for the above?
    Having grown up in NYC where my neighborhood was truly a melting pot
    and bordering on an area that was mostly Hasidic Jews (the penguins), there
    was NEVER a problem. They kept to themselves and followed their religion.

    These days?
    It's a war zone and in the press almost weekly.
    Guess why?
    I'll give you a hint, it ain't the penguins.


    Do you have concrete evidence of Jews invading hostile areas and raping, killing
    people, taking hostages and so forth?
    Where is the evidence?

    Have you been totally ignoring the news of the genocide in Gaza and the theft of land in the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria? You need to widen your scope of reading beyond the MSM (owned and controlled by the Rothschild cabal).

    You are not offering proof.
    I give you Oct 7th.
    What do you have?



    It takes about 10 seconds to dig up atrocious crimes of October 7th.

    Compared to sixty years of Israelis "mowing the grass" in the open air gulag of Gaza? How many Israelis died on October 7th (and how many were killed by "friendly" fire)? How many tens of thousands of Gazans have been murdered or starved out by the genocidal thugs in Israel? There's no comparison. You would have to be completely blind not to see the discrepancy. (How many Iranians die each day now in Iran because of U.S. and Israeli carpet bombing of Tehran?) Wake up and smell the reality.

    So where are the cites showing this?
    You are going in circles with conspiracy theories.

    As for Iran, they killed more than 30,000 of their own people in the past months.
    They just had public hangings of 3 people whose only "crime" was peaceful protesting.
    And how many Americans and others have they killed since 1979 despite all the attempts
    at appeasement ie:pallets of cash?

    Any Jews knocking down buildings?
    Throwing gays off rooftops?
    Beheading people?
    Shouting death to Israel and America?
    I'm not seeing it.

    I am however seeing Islamist's creating havoc all over the world daily.
    We recently had 3 or 4 attacks in the USA.
    Is it the Jews again?


    Any equivalent done by Jews?

    No, no equivalent. The Israelis are genocidal. The Palestinians are oppressed and have the right to try to break out of their prison and take back the land stolen from them. And Iran has the right to support their cause. Point, blank, period.

    But you still have not proven that the land belongs to them.

    As for Iran, I oppose the war however I also have enough common sense
    to realize that when a regime like Iran's, who is funding terrorist
    proxy groups like Hamas and others and who are on a pilgrimage to wipe
    out the USA should not have nuclear weapons.

    I snipped the rest because you are wandering all over the place with
    conspiracy theories, the Rothschild's and so forth.

    As for the Congress critters, they are all corrupt. And if they didn't start out corrupt they quickly learned how to play the game.
    The place really is a swamp.
    Both sides.

    At this point, I would like to see the US pull out and let the Iranian
    people decide what type of government they want moving forward. I have always been against the US being involved in nation building.
    I'm an isolationist in that respect.

    WRT to the Palestinian Israel issue a two state solution is my choice.

    What the modern state of Israel claims and what is true are too different things. Until 1948, Israel did not exist since the Romans destroyed the
    Temple and Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Some Jews lived (in peace) in Palestine as well as Christians and Muslims. But there is no historic claim to Israel for modern (rabbinic) Judaism. Native Americans have a more clear historic claim to the United States, then do modern Jews have claim to Palestine.

    I don't know if you believe in the Bible or not. If you do, please show me where God promised the modern nation of Israel the right to Palestine. Do
    you think the Bible teaches that the Jews are still God's chosen people. If so, where do you find that? In the New Testament, or in the Old? Or
    anywhere?

    And the Palestinians claim similar reasons although technically they didn't exist as a group
    until sometime in the 1960's. However the ancient people of the area, Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians,
    and others can be traced to modern day people as well.

    The main difference is that the Palestinians — Christians, Muslims and Jews were living peacefully together in Palestine before the Jews decided to
    steal the land and force the Palestinians into refugee camps. They did this through guile, terrorism and force.

    And then of course in modern times we have the disaster the UN caused which has resulted
    in the political angle being pushed currently.

    Only a disaster because the Jews wouldn't accept that the native
    Palestinians had a right to their own land, homes and property. Would you quietly go into the night if and Indian tribe showed up at your house, said "this is mine" and used terrorist thugs to force you out of your own home? They would (of course) "generously" offer you a tent in a fenced off "refugee camp" and tell you that you should be happy you got that. (And then they
    would take back their word and force you out that camp a few years later,
    when you started growing orchards and building huts to live in.)

    Yes, it's a war. Who started it in the 1940s? Who stole homes and property from the people who lived there? Who's committing genocide against those
    they forced out of their own land and into the open air gulag of Gaza and
    the refugee camps of the West Bank? I'm not arguing that it's not a war, I'm just trying to figure out why you take the side of the genocidal thugs who STOLE the land in the first place and have been "mowing the grass" (killing men, women and children) for decades? Where's your sense of justice?

    As for the Hasidic Jews, they have a huge pedophile problem. Strangely
    enough, the city of New York let's them take care of it "in house." It's not
    a far stretch for them, when it's argued in their "sacred" Talmud that
    raping a child of three years and one day, makes her the wife of the rapist.

You haven't seen pictures of blown up hospitals, churches or the skeletal children, who have nothing to eat and are starving to death?

    I congratulate you on your amazing myopia. It must be nice to live in delusional bullshit world, free of all reality.

    October 7th doesn't excuse the government of Israel or their Army from war crimes. As mentioned before, collective punishment is a war crime. Genocide
    is a war crime. NutYahoo has already been found guilty of war crimes in an international court for his actions Gaza. The five Nordic states will not allow him to travel to their countries. Did you also miss that bit of news?

    Compared to sixty years of Israelis "mowing the grass" in the open air gulag

    No one is so blind as those who won't see. You really have to work at it, to miss the obvious, don't you?

    Here, tell me what you see... Is this a "conspiracy?"

    This is what Israel has done to Gaza. It's what they're trying to do Tehran.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwQlPm7lCUc

    There are thousands upon thousands of these pictures and videos showing this destruction. The only way to avoid the evidence (your so-called
    "conspiracy") is to be purposely obtuse and force yourself to ignore
    reality.

    As for Iran, they killed more than 30,000 of their own people in the past months.

    So you claim, again, with zero proof. I call your claim bullshit (not your bullshit, but something gullibly believe on faith). It's a lying
    "conspiracy." Prove me wrong. As you will probably not remember, since you seem adept at ignoring facts, Israel and the United States bragged about how many Starlink receivers they had smuggled into Iran, and how many Mossad agents and their stooges who were part of the coup attempt. They thought
    they were going to win while they were bragging. Guess what, those traitors and Mossad agents were wiped out. (As they would be in any country.) But you ignore the fact that many Iranian policemen were killed by these terrorists (who happened to be "good" terrorists because they were on our side).

    The claim that these "protesters'" (seditionists) "only crime" was protesting is bullshit. It was an armed attempt to overthrow the government of Iran, which is sedition. Sedition is a capital crime every where. Just reality.

    Any Jews knocking down buildings?

    Have you looked at ANY, any pictures at all, of Gaza after Israel's carpet bombing of the city. I can't believe you're so reality challenged that
    you're even asking this question. Are you in some of cult where they don't allow you to think or observe?

    I am however seeing Islamist's creating havoc all over the world daily.
    We recently had 3 or 4 attacks in the USA.
    Is it the Jews again?

    Right. It was the "Islamists" who started these two wars against Iran, not
    the Israelis or their NutYahoo butt leach, Trump.

    "Islamist" covers a lot of territory. The Islamists terrorists are almost always Sunni, not Shia. And yet Trump cuddles up to the terrorist who now claims to be the "president" of Syria. We're "great friends" with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia (whose public executions are continual). We seem to have blinders on our eyes when talking about the Sunni terrorists, who have committed 82% of all terrorist attacks in three decades (as reported by both the United States and France). Before Trump decided it was time kiss the
    ass of the current, head-chopping terrorist president of Syria, he first removed the $10 million dollar bounty on his head for... (you guessed it) terrorism. There is no moral high ground in our country and especially not
    in genocidal Israel.

    No, no equivalent. The Israelis are genocidal. The Palestinians are
    oppressed and have the right to try to break out of their prison and take >> back the land stolen from them. And Iran has the right to support their
    cause. Point, blank, period.

    But you still have not proven that the land belongs to them.

    The reality is they had ownership of the land before it was stolen from them by the Jews. You haven't even attempted to prove that Jews had any right to that land. When are you going to provide "proof" (or even evidence) for your claim? I'm guessing it will be a long wait, because you won't find any.

    As for Iran, I oppose the war however I also have enough common sense
    to realize that when a regime like Iran's, who is funding terrorist
    proxy groups like Hamas and others and who are on a pilgrimage to wipe
    out the USA should not have nuclear weapons.

    It's okay for us to fund proxy groups to take governments down that we (and more importantly for our feckless leaders) those Israel doesn't like, but
    it's not okay for Iran to fund proxies who are trying to those who are
    trying to defend themselves from Israel's greed and dreams of a "Greater Israel." Talk about hypocrisy.

    I snipped the rest because you are wandering all over the place with conspiracy theories, the Rothschild's and so forth.

    It's only a "conspiracy theory" if you're too lazy (or uncaring) to investigate it. Would you say our elected government is actually running our country? That when 80% of Americans opposed the war on Iran, our "democratically" elected government would stand for us? Would you say AIPAC
    is a "conspiracy" or a myth? Would you claim that the Rothschilds don't
    exist, and don't control worldwide banking? I guess so. Personally I'm not into sticking my head in the sand and ignoring reality.

    As for the Congress critters, they are all corrupt. And if they didn't start out corrupt they quickly learned how to play the game.
    The place really is a swamp.
    Both sides.

    Agreed. And nearly every Congresslug receives cash from AIPAC. Not fiction. Not a conspiracy. A fact.

    At this point, I would like to see the US pull out and let the Iranian
    people decide what type of government they want moving forward. I have always been against the US being involved in nation building.
    I'm an isolationist in that respect.

    WRT to the Palestinian Israel issue a two state solution is my choice.

    Same here. As for Iran, the United States and Israel might not have any
    choice but to back out. I doubt we'll get our bases back in the Gulf. The
    Arab states in the Gulf found out how empty our promises to protect them
    were. Military equipment was pulled out of the Gulf states and sent to
    Israel.

    There are a lot of people that would like the land their ancestors lived
    on 2000 years ago but they are shit out of luck. They don't own most of
    the politicians and confused Christians that didn't get the message about
    a new covenant.

    I don't even really consider Zionist "Christians" Christians, as they seem
    to think God's "chosen people" are the Jews to whom we need to scrape and
    bow. It was made clear in the New Testament that the "chosen people"
    were neither Jews or Gentiles, they were those who became Christians.

    That ass, Ted Cruz, was whining about Christians who call Christ the King.
    He claimed that, somehow (not explained) this made them "anti-Semitic." That it reminded him of Crusaders.

    It's obvious where this Zionist "Christian's" loyalty lies — and it's not Christianity, it's Zionism. I guess he's jealous that Trump gets to kiss NutYahoo's tush more than he does.

    And speaking of NutYahoo, he recently compared Jesus unfavorably to Genghis Khan, whom he said (unlike Jesus) "got things done." (Paraphrased.) It even got some Zionist "Christians" confused and upset. I didn't think that was possible.

    The reality is that the precedent set by Israel gives the Indigenous
    here in Canada the right to ask for their land back. The government of
    British Columbia just screwed over anyone who bought land anywhere in
    the metropolitan areas by giving ownership of the land back to a tribe
    of around 1,400 people. You can imagine the nightmare it will be once
    the current owners die. These useless Indians will get billions for
    merely existing.

    The reality is that to the winners go the spoils.
