Telling it like it is, or it should be, or like it's going to be, or the way I wish it would be, or the way my girlfriend who just yelled at me told me it is
As everyone knows, Israel and Iran aren’t exactly Domino partners and they have cancelled all there mahjong events. The Middle East has become one of intense focus and scrutiny and any decision being made can have severe consequences. The game went from Old Maid to Crazy Eights to War. All of this because of one person’s belief that the other person should not exist. The hatred by these two parties are going to create a situation that can have long lasting affects on every aspect of everyone’s life. This is a stupid war made by stupid people that are old and act like children. The impact by these narcissists can be severe.
Some moron believes that their religion tells them that they must hate someone because they are of another religion…. you have to follow this…. a religion that says you have to hate someone…. that isn’t a real religion or maybe the person that is interpreting that religion is a stupid old man that just wants to hate someone. Iran’s Supreme Leader stating that all Zionists must be wiped off the face of the earth or something to that effect. “Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad frequently used inflammatory language, stating in 2005 that Israel must be “erased from the page of time” or “wiped off the map”. This statement has been widely interpreted as a call for the physical destruction of Israel” and “Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has also made statements critical of Israel, calling it a “cancerous tumor that must be uprooted”. He has clarified that his call for Israel’s destruction does not equate to the annihilation of all Jews, but rather the demise of the state of Israel“. To be fair, the other side has made similar remarks but to be absolutely fair, Iran made them first.
Given those previous statements and if Iran would get nuclear grade weapons, even though Iran has stated that their purpose is not to use nuclear weapons on Israel, do you think they are being straight forward? Do you think they would sneak a dirty bomb to one of their proxies like Hezbollah or the Houthis? What would a nuclear war look like in the Middle East? Iran or Israel bombs the other and then the retaliation by the other side….. Given that most of the oil comes from the Middle East, that would severely hinder any and all gas run products, Elon Musk and Tesla would become de facto world dictator as their cars would take over (just kidding), the nuclear fallout would make a lot of that area unlivable. The nuclear fallout would affect so many countries it would paralyze the world. It would affect the prices and wages of every living person and thing. These are just some of the small things that I can think of. All because of hatred by some old morons that should be put away in a home and not be in charge of anything. It’s your old grandpa that keeps yelling get off of my lawn that is in charge over there.
These old folks are pure hatred and if they teach us anything they teach us that pure hatred solves nothing and creates way more problems. They have no reason to hate one another, they just do. Some of these old folks are a hoot…. Whatever the U.S. decides to do, it has no good choices. It has been put in a spot that you can’t win. That’s hatred for you….
Hatred…. pure hatred has severe consequences…. you hear that immigration hawks….. learn from these dumb dumbs…. stop the pure hatred.
Like the proverbial political pendulum politics proves people….. ehhhh … something with a p….. pugilistic? pedantic? pluralistic? pedestrian? perplexed? perturbed? I could keep going but my Sesame Street dictionary slash thesaurus has run out of words starting with p that would make sense. The current political environment has some lefty politicos asking questions, some on instagram or tik tok or facebook, but it’s all the same question, why didn’t you vote for us? I think they deserve an answer.
I’m going to start with a simple answer that most people might not agree with. Do you guys remember Bob Dole? The one thing I remember at the time was the guy saying “what’s wrong with cigarettes?” You remember that. Claiming that cigarettes might not be addictive. I voted for the other guy. Obviously cigarette companies were funding that Republican ticket, in part, and he was going to go to bat for them. The Democrats seized on that and stated flat out that this guy didn’t care about anyone. Fast forward some however many years later, the Democrats say the same thing about marijuana that ol’ Bob said about cigarettes. The difference, the marijuana lobby gives a lot of money to the Democrats.
I heard the stories that marijuana isn’t as addictive as nicotine or alcohol by the left leaning dumb dumbs and so they justify their support for the hemp and the pork gratuities they receive from the lobbyists. My opinion, no, the facts are that they’re full of shit. I guess if you have enough power and money you can always find a doctor to say what you want. I know that some of the most prominent left leaning leaders of the democrat party are for it, Bill Maher (might be the only issue I disagree with Bill Maher on), Seth Rogan, Bernie Sanders, Former President Obama, Snoop, and many others… but the fact is that marijuana is a gateway drug and in my former community, marijuana created more havoc than any other drug. I have never known one person that the first drug that they used was something else other than marijuana…. but I know people that died from speed balling, cocaine use, meth and heroin. They all started the same way, smoking a joint. Am I saying that if they didn’t smoke marijuana, they wouldn’t haven’t used the heavier drugs? Yes…. for the love of God… yes. Marijuana got them there as they chased the dragon to new heights and marijuana is the reason they died. For the poor marijuana is an even heavier burden because, unlike the middle class or the rich, there is no rehab stints. The poor and lower middle class have to work and can’t revolve their vacation time around rehab. Poor peoples rehab is called county lock up, which comes with many other problems. The idea that legalized marijuana will solve the drug problem is absolutely ridiculous. If you thought that the punishment that you received for smoking marijuana was too harsh, then you lower the punishment not make the drug legal. Once you introduce something into society, there is no taking it back. Remember Abolition and how well that worked. There’s a reason why the U.S. keeps slipping down the education world table and it isn’t only because of tik tok and youtube.
The disastrous decision by the democrats to legalize marijuana isn’t going to have a great impact immediately, it’s going to take a while like their last great effort to push small businesses into minority neighborhoods. Back in the 70’s there were complaints by the Democrats about the SBA not giving loans equally to minorities. That led to small businesses being brought to minority neighborhoods, mostly liquor stores, because everyone knew that would be the best enterprises in those neighborhoods. 30 years later, you have those same democrats complaining that minority neighborhoods are being exploited and that there is a liquor store at every other corner, this time meant in a derogatory way. The funny thing is (or the worse thing), those people that actually succeeded with those enterprises… no longer live in those minority neighborhoods. They take the money they made and move to Republican cities….why? Because Republicans use the money they make from their businesses and invest in schools, infrastructure and safety…. while the Democrat neighborhoods are investing in jails, meth clinics and embezzlement. The Democrats don’t even stipulate that with a loan or by giving a business an opportunity to open in a minority neighborhood, you have to live in that neighborhood. They don’t invest in their neighborhoods and they complain like it someone else’s fault that the neighborhoods are that way. Unfortunately, more minority neighborhood mayors are arrested or indicted than any other, mostly for embezzlement or abuse of power or under the Hobbs Act. It has become a ridiculous situation with bad decision after bad decision.
At least the Democrats will have a new business in between those liquor stores in minority communities, a marijuana dispensary. The owner of those stores won’t live in that community but the people getting high and barely making rent will. Thanks Demos, another thing that you made better because you can’t see three feet in front of you. And for the rich people with a ton of money, live in one of these neighborhoods for 2 years and then tell me that you think allowing marijuana is a smart decision. And before you say that it was on the ballot and the voters voted for it, I will remind you that those same voters would vote to eliminate all taxes if that proposal was on the ballot. Smart people know that would be disastrous but most people won’t give a damn, they would only think an extra 10 to 40 grand in their pocket. You’re suppose to be the grown up… but all you care about is being liked, winning that next popularity contest that keeps you in office.
Facts about marijuana:
Cannabis is the most commonly used federally illegal drug in the United States; 52.5 million people, or about 19% of Americans, used it at least once in 2021.
Recent research estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use cannabis have cannabis use disorder. (a fancy way of saying they’re addicted)
The risk of developing cannabis use disorder is even greater for people who begin to use it before age 18.
Cannabis use directly affects the parts of the brain responsible for memory, learning, attention, decision-making, coordination, emotion, and reaction time. (so it makes you dumb and if you are already dumb, than dumber. So either Jeff Daniels or Jim Carrey. You can forget about being that lawyer, sports star or elected official. These scenarios are for regular long term users, not the occasional spliff and also meant for people that are born normal and not with 180 IQ like some of these people who smoke to control their overactive brains)
Infants, children, and teens (who still have developing brains) are especially susceptible to the adverse effects of cannabis.
Long-term or frequent cannabis use has been linked to increased risk of psychosis or schizophrenia in some users.
Why the fuck would you make this legal unless it was to create zombies.
More reasons why the Democrats are getting whipped at the polling stations to come.
There is this big hoopla about the release of the JFK files. Who did it and why? As these reporters delve into the released files and the CIA taking front stage by knowing of Lee Harvey Oswald movements prior to the assassination of JFK, supposedly, it sure looks like that…. either the CIA was an ineffective agency that had no clue to what was going on or that they knew and might even had a small part in it. Reportedly, this is something that was reported at the time, the CIA and JFK were not on good terms. The question is, who reported that? McCone, the Director of Central Intelligence, even though he was a Republican, was nominated by Kennedy and he admired Kennedy because Kennedy actually read his reports and listened to his advice. McCone was not at odds with Kennedy. Also, it wasn’t the CIA’s responsibility to track Oswald while he was in the U.S., it was the FBI’s. The CIA reported the information to Hoover about Oswald and the FBI was suppose to track him because the CIA was prohibited from running any ops inside the USA unless they were attached to another law enforcement agency who would take lead in the operation.
The questions I have…. have nothing to do with Oswald, they have a lot to do with Jack Ruby. The first question I have is, who knew that Jack Ruby was an FBI informant and a homosexual? That his position as an FBI informant was scrubbed right prior to his assassination of Oswald? Who knew that J. Edgar Hoover, also a homosexual, was at odds with the Kennedy administration prior to his assassination due to wanting to have Hoover replaced? Who knew that Jack Ruby, Oswald’s killer, had spent the days prior to the assassination and the day of the assassination with Bob Vanderslice, another FBI informant, sexuality unknown? Who knew that New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, tried to prosecute Clay Shaw, another homosexual and FBI Informant, David Ferrie, an FBI Informant, homosexual and known pedophile, and Guy Bannister, a once employee of the FBI, and probably human asset for the FBI, who Shaw and Ferrie worked for as CI’s? Who knew the J. Edgar Hoover was accused of having sex with underage boys, never formally investigated or convicted, in both Louisiana and in California and that those incidents were reported to RFK, who probably told JFK?
This is from Wikipeadia from excerpts from the Warren Commission investigation and FBI investigation…. “On November 25, Martin was contacted by the FBI. Martin told the FBI that Ferrie might havehypnotized Oswald into assassinating Kennedy. The FBI considered Martin’s evidence unreliable. Nevertheless, FBI agents interviewed Ferrie twice about Martin’s allegations.[30] Ferrie admitted that he had made public and private statements criticizing Kennedy’s actions during the Bay of Pigs, but he denied ever stating that the President should be killed. He stated that he had no recollection of having met Oswald and if he had the meeting would have been “very casual”.[31] Ferrie stated that Martin had “bedeviled him in every manner possible” since sending him out of Gill’s office in an “undiplomatic manner” in June 1963.[32][33] Gill told the FBI that Martin blamed Ferrie for not getting a job and subsequently “slandered Ferrie at every opportunity”.[22] The FBI also interviewed about 20 other people in connection with Martin’s allegations. The FBI said that it was unable to develop a substantial case against Ferrie. An inquiry by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, conducted a decade and a half later, concluded that the FBI’s “overall investigation of the 544 Camp Street issue at the time of the assassination was not thorough.”[34]“
This from the Guardian derived from an interview of a top FBI Agent and supervisor who gave statements to both the FBI and Warren Commission….. “Other accounts of the Director’s alleged sexual activity, if true, would certainly have destroyed him had they become public. A former Bureau inspector and trusted associate named Jimmy Corcoran said years later that Hoover, youthful at the time, had once asked him to deal with a serious “problem”. He had been arrested on sex charges involving a young man during a trip to New Orleans. Corcoran, who had powerful contacts in the state, said he intervened to hush the matter up.” The charges were not brought forward at the State level but I believe that they were secretly sent to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, most likely because the person that was investigating was disgusted by the situation and if he could not do anything abut it, he thought maybe the U.S. Attorney could. That could be where RFK first learned about this incident. This would be the same New Orleans where Ferrie resided and who had been arrested twice on moral offensive charges, most likely sodomy or oral gratification of another man or receiving oral gratification from another man.
J. Edgar Hoover became head of what would be known as the FBI in 1924. Hoover remained in control of the FBI until his death in 1972, never having kids, in the traditional sense, or getting married. Hoover was intelligent and deliberate. He was extremely organized and a great chess player, again, not in the traditional sense that I am aware of…. but maybe. Hoover managed to stay in position as the head of the most elite organizations in America for 48 years. Along the way, Hoover hired his people and made them in charge of different sections within that agency, like Clyde Tolson, his second in command. He was secretive, intelligent, somewhat charismatic, a little dramatic, extremely organized, sought power and if his penis was the size of a thimble, he fit the exact FBI profile of a pedophile.
All these remarks can be verified except for smiling Jack being an FBI informant, only the FBI can verify that statement, if anyone is still around from that time.
While my post seems over the top, if you think about what we know of MKUltra and COINTELPRO and how Hoover managed to stay in power for so long, its an amazing ride for him. The FBI is always tasked with investigating incoming Presidents and legislators, anything that the Hoover found out was his to disseminate as he chose. Hoover was meticulous and has his people follow every bread crumb, especially when it came to Presidents. They had no secrets from him. Anything that was embarrassing or illegal would remain in his files and in exchange or just in case.
Other information about the now deceased director said that J. Edgar Hoover was said to frequent a hotel in La Jolla, California where young Mexican boys, likely underage, were brought to him and then paid for their services and sent back to Mexico with money in their pockets.
If any of this is true, and all these allegation were printed by multiple sources, and if RFK and JFK had found out about this, do you think that J. Edgar Hoover would use his immense power and influence to kill a President and his brother?
This post states through a direct quote from an FBI investigator that Oswald might have been hypnotized into wanting to assassinate the President, has that ever happened before? Reagan…. Trump? And who has the ability to do something like that? According to these articles, the FBI were one of the very few with that technology.
What the FBI has stated in their profiling of these pedophiles, is that they seek powerful positions but rarely elected positions. They travel in groups but never very large, it will most likely garner too much attention. They have some sort of signals so they can identify each other, I’m guessing.
This is a true story, I was once asked what time it was by a guy, I looked at my watch and told him the time, you know, like a normal person that was asked would do, and he replied “never mind”. I asked him, “if you didn’t want to know, why did you ask?” He just shook his head and said “never mind”. I was on a flight from somewhere back to Newark, NJ. When I got home, this was sticking in my mind for some reason, being former law enforcement, when people act like dip shits I usually wanted to know why, but since it isn’t a crime to be a dipshit, I couldn’t do anything to find out. I told my girlfriend about the incident, “the weirdest thing happened to me” and I told her the story. She, being a flight attendant at the time, started to laugh. I asked why are you laughing and she said that is how homosexuals try to find out if you are homosexual, its one of their signals. My thought was, well I’m glad that the response for that wasn’t giving him the right time because that would have been awkward. I never found out what their response was, I never cared but it resonates that pedophiles most likely have the same kind of signals or signs, kinda like a gang sign, I guess. And for the record, I used to be handsome, according to my ex anyway.
The thing that we know is that homosexuals, according to the NIH (if I read that right) a government entity, are 11 times greater to be pedophiles than heterosexuals. That makes sense, a grown man trying to rape another grown man would be almost impossible because even a small grown man, with an adrenaline flow as he tries to stop another grown man from sticking something up his ass, would fight to the death, (I would), which then would just make it necrophilia. Homosexuals would have to prey on young kids, like the priests and altar boys.
Really quick, I want to say that this isn’t an article about homosexuals being pedophiles, I am aware that not all homosexuals are pedophiles but that most pedophiles are homosexual, this also according to the FBI profilers. This is about the person that commissioned most of these studies and that he was most likely the most prolific pedophile in the history of the United States and due to his position and power, no one would stop him. And, maybe when that one person that did try, he most likely had him killed. There is no doubt that the FBI was infiltrated by these people because of Hoover but it is unknown if it is still that way. There are court cases that are being dismissed that relate to some of this but the dismissals make no sense, it only protects people that already have a ton pf power.
Other discerning facts about pedophiles are…. they aren’t generally gym rats but as times change so do they, they are charismatic and usually try to endear themselves to you, they are the cockroaches of the human race… meaning that they adapt quickly to their environment and many lack empathy, probably all of them. They don’t pack a punch in their genital region and are usually close to being considered innies. Like I stated prior, they are intelligent, they have to be and very conniving. And they were fiercely loyal to each other, given that not many people share their interests, like Tolson was to Hoover.
Also, I believe that Hoover died while being investigated by the FBI. A stress heart attack in his sleep. His second in command, Tolson, who became the Director of the FBI for one day before being replaced by Patrick Gray, fell ill immediately after handing over the keys to the house to Gray. Tolson would die a short while later from the affects of a stress induced stroke. Also the tell tale signs of an FBI investigation. Hoover fought hard to not relinquish power but it was ultimately the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation into him that killed him. If you want to see files relevant to the assassination of JFK and RFK, then you need to request the files into the investigation into J. Edgar Hoover, I believe that should be the files that should be asked for without redaction.
This is just my opinion but it makes way more sense then the conspiracy theories that are already out there. If I had to guess, this would be my guess, especially given how the FBI was ostracized by the Warren commission for doing such a shitty job in investigating the death of JFK. The FBI investigated and they couldn’t find themselves, it seems right. J. Edgar Hoover was most likely a very bad person but he didn’t care. Now, if I build a hotel and name it Hitler’s House, you can assume something about anyone in that hotel. Whoever named the FBI building must of not known Hoover’s legacy but still, that is some nasty stuff, right.
Can you imagine the fallout or the consequences if what I opine is correct? And it most likely is. That the head of the FBI was diddling little kids in secret and killed a President to keep that secret. Do you know what that would have done to the reputation of the FBI at that time and all the cases that they were involved in if that had come out. They would have to have freed everyone they ever arrested. No, killing Hoover and his longtime gaypal was the only solution.
We have to give to the Democrats, they bring people together. Can you tell me any other group that has the ability to make Neo-Nazis and Jewish people be on the same side? They have an answer to that question, the answer is that Trans men people, or is it trans thems? or trans those? (I really don’t know the pronouns) should be able to compete against women in sports, even though that has nothing to do with the question. I used to be a Democrat, now I’m like the Palestinians, stuck in a party that was hijacked by causes that aren’t important and completely convoluted from the truth and where there is no true leadership, so I switched to Independent that will vote Republican under the right circumstances as I wait for the Democrats to figure out their Trans….ition to a real political party that represents the people and takes up causes that affect the majority of the party.
The far-left has basically hijacked a party that under Bill Clinton was blowing away the competition. Ehhhh…..
Right, maybe blowing away was where it really took the wrong turn during that administration but the Demos, a party I proudly backed, has become a party of the underdogs. They seem to take up the causes of these underdog groups, which was fine when it was about racism or gender equality but it’s not ok when it comes to terrorism and guys dressing up in drag and punching women in the face. Not every underdog deserves to win, sometimes the favorites are right and deserve to win. The trick is to have the normalcy to be able to know which one is which.
I’m not going to lie, I was going to say have the common sense to do the right thing but it would immediately turn off the left because the right seems to have beaten them to the common sense slogan and to be fair, in some aspects, in having common sense.
I have seen some far left politicos taking up the battle for Free Palestine. These are people with college degrees that are making fun of their opposition for working at Hooters prior to becoming a political employee but when are asked what does it mean to say Free Palestine and the history of that portion of the world, they can’t give you an intelligent answer and only say that somehow, the people that were there for over three thousand years, were forced to leave their land by Christians and Muslims, that returned to make a country for themselves that their ancestors had, were oppressing the people that attacked them.
Now, if I have it wrong, I’m open to some type of discourse but what I see and hear is that some Democrats are taking up the side of Hamas, not to be mistaken for Ham and eggs, which, if that was the side they were on, I would be relieved, because I love me a good breakfast, but it doesn’t seem that way and it looks like they are on the side of Hamas, the U.S. designated Terrorist organization that looks to wipe out the Jewish Religion in its entirety.
This is one of the reasons why I, and maybe a lot of people, switched to Independent that will most likely lean right….. more to come.
Let me start with that I agree with some stances of the current administration…. Cartels are definitely terrorist organizations, and the Tariffs on China are completely warranted, so much so that they should be the only country we should focus on when implementing those tariffs and I also agree that NATO should be over and that we should get rid of it, but not in the way that this administration wants to, just the opposite. I think that the best way to get rid of NATO is it make it unnecessary. That would be by doing something that takes courage, obliterating the current state of Russia. The war, that was initiated by Russia, is the perfect opportunity to limit the this world to just two world super powers. The tariffs would make mince meat of the other, with some added caveats.
This is the time for the U.S. to let Ukraine go head strong into Russia by providing it with long range missiles and by placing interceptor missiles in range to stop any foolish attempt by Russia to launch nuclear arms and have our own missiles ready to strike every nuclear site that Russia has, with the help of the EU. With Russia’s old and rotting nuclear weaponry being what it is, this war should be over in a month. There is no doubt that we would win, less doubt that Russia would cave in less than a month, and we would have the added bonus of sending a very firm and powerful message to China that land grabs will not be tolerated.
While I might be a little naive as to Russia’s nuclear capability, I’m pretty sure that it would not get that far. After it’s all said and done, there would be no more Russia. Russia would suffer the fate it wanted to impose on Ukraine. It would be split up into smaller countries with no nuclear capabilities with some of their land going to Ukraine, who would no doubt still mine those minerals for us and some of it’s land going to us, the U.S., as the biggest military establishment and base on Earth. Where would that be located, oddly enough, it would be right above China and next to North Korea. To the victor go the spoils, in this case, to us making Russia into russia, we get a huge chunk of their land and the message will be, if you don’t want your land taken from you, then you don’t try and take someone’s land by force.
The added bonus of this happening, no more NATO fees because NATO won’t be needed. It’s a save save situation. For this to happen though, you need some courage, some teamwork and some God blessed luck, which I believe we would have. I always say, don’t leave this problem for our kids to handle, they’re busy gaming, we need to handle this right now or in 100 years, I can almost guarantee that China will be the only super power. Time to man up…..
Whichever President does this goes down as the second greatest President in history. It will be hard to beat Lincoln, but only history will tell and lets be honest, the Demos aren’t exactly the courageous type, (they had two opportunities to intervene and all they did was clear their throat) so it’s going to have to be a Repub that saves the world and this is the only way to that victory.
In boxing when there is a new champ, the announcer always states “AND THE NEW”…. That is indicative of a hard fought fight with someone coming out triumphant…. someone new coming out triumphant. In this case it’s “Once again and the new” POTUS. These next 4 years are going to be super interesting. The one thing you can take away from this is that our elections seem to be fair. The other thing you can take away from this is that people want the people they choose not the people that are chosen for them. In this case, President elect Trump was chosen by the people in a fair pre-general election runoff. There were several candidates and President Elect Trump beat them all. On the Democratic side, there was no selection of the candidate. We were told that Ms. Harris was going to be the nominee whether we like it or not. The outcome came as expected by any sane person. Ms. Harris wasn’t one of the top choices in 2020 for the Dems and she didn’t do well this time around either, not because she isn’t a good person, but because she lacked something in her persona that you can’t really explain but was quantifiable. I’m not saying that any other candidate would have beaten President elect Trump but they would have had a better chance if they were chosen by the people to be their nominee and were not told that this is going to be their nominee. That’s what happened in 2016 when the fix was “seemingly” in to have Mrs. Clinton as the Demo nominee over Bernie and that’s what happened now. It has nothing to do with Ms. Harris being a woman, it has everything to do with subverting the voter’s will and choices.
Personally, I voted RFK. Just because I think he should know what really happened to his dad and uncle. All conspiracy theories aside, I hope he finds out the truth about what happened to his family. I have a theory but until we invent that time machine, there is no way of proving it.
BTW, Dean Phillips would have been a better choice for the Demos… Remember him…. The guy that said Joe Biden couldn’t do it because he was slipping. He was way more pragmatic and the Demo Trump…. Harris wasn’t the only one that wanted to be the candidate, she was the only one allowed to be the candidate.
Lastly, a woman… that said she wanted to turn guys into women…. Fuuuuccckkkk Nooooooo!!!!!! While I know that’s not what she meant, it resonated in all guys brains. We immediately went in winter squirrel mode. We tried to hide our nuts so she couldn’t get at them. She lost the male vote… Nobody is doing the eye tango with me and then trying to cut off my genitalia.
Is Hamas a terrorist group? Some people are not going to like my answer but semantics matter. The definition of a terrorist group is:
A terrorist group is a political movement that uses terror as a weapon to achieve its goals. Synonyms of terrorist group include:
FTO
Foreign terrorist organization
Terrorist organization
A group can be considered a terrorist group if it:
Is from another country
Engages in terrorist acts
Has the ability and intent to engage in terrorism
The United Nations Security Council defines terrorist acts as:
Criminal acts
Committed against civilians
With the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury
Taking of hostages
With the purpose to provoke a state of terror
Terrorism can take the form of:
Explosive devices
Active shooter incidents
Biological, chemical, radiological/nuclear, or cyber attacks
Some types of terrorism include:
Criminal, Psychic, War, Political, Revolutionary, Subrevolutionary, Establishment.
For the purpose of Executive Order 13268, “terrorism” is defined to be an activity that (1) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; and (2) appears to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, kidnapping, or hostage-taking.
Since Hamas is the political ruling party in Gaza and seems to be separate of the West Bank in political decision making, then no… Hamas is not a terrorist “group” but fall under the heading of a Terrorist State but that’s a matter of opinion that needs a consensus of the international community.
While some might disagree, it’s actually better for Israel that they are recognized not as a Terrorist “Group” but as a foreign country that invaded another country or even as a Terrorist State. In a war, civilian casualties are expected. In a terrorist attack by a group, there is no need for civilians to be killed even though it will happen when sympathizers of the Terrorist Group try and shield them or are forced to shield them. So they’re not a Terrorist Group but a Terrorist State, due to their remarks, that allows for Israel to protect themselves.
Obviously this is a personal opinion and I do not condone the killing of civilians in any situation but until countries find a way to have Iron Man capabilities, this is the unfortunate consequence. This is also what happens when a terrorist group, that’s a group of people that do not rule politically, are allowed to become a terrorist state, when they force the populous to vote for them and then eliminate voting altogether and they become the governing body of that country or state, and then decide to invade another country. Civilians get hurt and uncivil reverberations spread to other countries as people take sides.
Throughout history, there is a couple of things that always holds true,
The sun rises on the east and sets on the west
Hot dogs are way better with ketchup than mustard
All empires are doomed to fail
Alright, we know that 2 of those are true, one is a matter of opinion. This blarticle is about the last one on the list. All empires are doomed to fail.
Let’s look at some empires and why they failed…
The Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was the post-Republican state of ancient Rome and is generally understood to mean the period and territory ruled by the Romans following Octavian’s assumption of sole rule under the Principate in 31 BC. It included territory in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and was ruled by emperors. The Roman Empire is one of the most iconic empires in history. Its expansion started from the Roman Republic, and it grew to encompass vast territories. The Roman Empire is not considered the largest in history despite how extremely long it was active. The Roman Empire lasted approximately 500 years, mostly due to its administrative capabilities, technological advancements, and a very effective military force. The reason the Roman Empire failed was due to Political unrest, civil unrest and economic factors such as taxation, inflation, disrupted trade routes and decline in agricultural productivity which translated for today would be the equivalent of no jobs or people weren’t willing to do that job anymore, most likely because they all wanted to be on social media, which for that time was the person putting on the plays.
The Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, historically and colloquially known as the Turkish Empire, was an empire that controlled much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa between the 14th and early 20th centuries. The empire also controlled a southeastern region of Central Europe from the 16th to the late 17th century. At the height of its power (16th–17th century), the Ottoman Empire spanned three continents, controlling much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. The Ottoman Empire, an Islamic superpower, ruled much of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe between the 14th and early 20th centuries. The reason the Ottoman Empire failed was due to Political unrest, civil unrest and economic factors. The buzz was that the Sultan wasn’t interested in running the empire and just wanted to hang out in his harem, according to social media accounts of the time.
The British Empire. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor states. It began with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The British Empire and Mongol Empire were the largest and second-largest empire in history, respectively. At its greatest extent, early in the 20th century, the British Empire comprised nearly a quarter of the planet and an equal percentage of its population. The reasons the British Empire failed, I’ll give you three guesses, Political unrest (nobody really liked the Kings back then), civil unrest and economic factors. According to the social media of the day, these Kings were unjust and down right grumpy old douche bags. To be fair, they weren’t in power when the British Empire was actually a force, they had already established a parliament.
What all these empires have in common, besides wanting to conquer everything in sight, was that their failures were the result of the same circumstances. Political unrest, civil unrest, economic factors and the social media of the day played it’s role. While the younger generation might balk at my assertions, “they didn’t even have iphones back then”, they had other things like books and leaflets and while I understand the younger generations position when you tell me “what’s a book and you can’t even write on leafs” (I know it’s leaves but they don’t) it nevertheless holds true that social media, from gossip to todays high tech innovations, like blogs, always played a role in dismantling these empires. So what do you do?
The latest outcry was of a woman who posted Osama Bin Laden’s (OBL) excerpts to tik tok, (a social media website and how do you write on a clock?) that is seen as an afront to democracy. The woman seems to agree with Bin Laden and his lunacy and everyone older than 32, that would be 10 years before September 11th, 2001, are outraged. How can this woman do that and lets ban Tik Tok because we don’t agree with her. Well, there goes the first amendment and here comes the civil unrest, we already have the political unrest and all we need now is a good old fashion depression where the wealthy get richer and the poorer get poorer (To be completely honest, she might have not known who he was and thought he was some kind of musician “You down with OBL, no! not me”). I’m kidding, sort of, as to this lady’s posting OBL excerpts would lead to a nationwide unrest. And I’m not saying to “not” ban Tik Tok for any other reason other than the first amendment, like you feel that social media website is controlled by a foreign country that is purposely sending out misinformation and trying to create discord in a foreign adversary or they are using it to spy on America and Americans, that’s a legit reason to ban any website or social media if it’s true. The symptoms are there though, right? And I hear complaining about it but I don’t hear any solutions. If you think that technological social media sites are creating harm to a democracy, what are your solutions for the problem. Well, I have a story.
My son was doing good in school but I noticed that on the days that he spent more time on his Switch, a Nintendo game console, he would have more problems in school, so I put a time limit on when he could play and how long. 30 minutes on school days as long as he did his homework and did some extra studying and it would have to be off 1 hour prior to him going to bed and 2 hours on weekends as long as he exercised and went outside to play for at least double that time. Maybe it’s time that we do that to our younger adults, maybe all adults, and have these Social Media companies reduce the allotted time for social media to each person to one hour per day on the weekdays and 2 hours on the weekends. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it. That wouldn’t go for the people that actually make a living on social media and the companies would have to determine who they are by viewership or other means. Who knew that our adults need adult supervision. The government and the social media companies could figure out all the finer points on how to make it work and the adults can try to find ways around these rules but I think that some rules are needed. Or (do you like how I start my sentences with articles) we can keep things the way they are, keep bitching and complaining, not coming up with solutions. Watch as American ingenuity goes the way of the Dodo bird and we let this Empire, the American Empire, disintegrate. My bet, which I’m pretty sure I could find a place in Vegas that would take it, is that this Empire comes to a screeching halt in around 100 years. Some people say I’m pretty good at procastinating, wait, that’s wrong…. prognosticating. I was so close.
Also, talking with that woman that posted OBL’s excerpts to find out why she thinks that, might be a greater help than calling her all kind of numbnuts remarks to her face on social media. Obviously, she has her reasons and as misguided as I think they are, she might not. That’s where a good education comes into play, I think. Some civil discourse instead of civil unrest.
And here’s another crazy idea, to relieve political unrest, how about if we get rid of parties, now calm down…. I’m not talking birthdays, I’m talking political, you can still go to your all nighters and raves. How about if there wasn’t a D or an R in front of some ones name at a ballot and they just ran on their values and principles… Crazy huh… I better watch out for the butterfly net.
The definition of genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
There are 23 countries in the world that make Islam their state religion and that religion is included in their constitution. There is only 1 country that makes Judaism there state religion.
I don’t know how anyone is able to turn this argument the other way but it’s the people of Israel that are in constant threat of genocide.
The UN has to openly state that Hamas was the ruling political party in Gaza and that what they did was an invasion of Israel and this should be declared a war by two nations. In these circumstances, Israel should make Gaza a nice Israeli beach town when this all over.
To be more clear…..
Judaism is close to 3500 years old and it’s roots start out in what was known as Canaan and is known today as Israel. This was a Jewish state which was forced to scatter by foreign invaders while some still remained in the region. Islam started roughly 1400 years ago. It started in Saudi Arabia, what is known as the mecca of the religion. There is nothing wrong with either religion. The problem is the people not the religions.
The truth still holds that Israel belongs where it is and are not colonizers but re-settlers, going back to their ancestral homeland. Most of the Muslim Palestinians (they used to be known as Jewish Palestinians prior to 1948 when Israel became a recognized country by the UN and its members) are transfers from other Muslim dominated countries that fled to that area. Hamas used to be an Egyptian “group”. In 1987, after the outbreak of the First Intifada against Israel, Hamas was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya, which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as an Islamic charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood
How many people feel like Nostradamus predicted this somehow…or that blind little old lady Baba Vanga. There’s people out there screaming end of times right next to the scalper screaming Taylor Swift tickets here. Maybe they’re both signs of some kind of apocalypse. All I know is that there isn’t many people too neutral in this conflict. You either believe that the Palestinians are right or you believe that Israel is right. As for me, I just don’t know enough to think that Hamas could remotely be right in this situation. Maybe there is some kind of argument for their actions, I can’t think of one that would justify their actions, but I’m sure there are some who believe they were justified. Well, I know that there are people that believe that, as I see all over the news… people that say this is Israel’s fault. I would like to hear their argument, one that advocates the murder of partygoers and women and children.
Hamas, labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department since October 8th, 1997, is a militant group that was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya, which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as a religious charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas became increasingly involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the late 1990s; it opposed the Israel–PLO Letters of Mutual Recognition as well as the Oslo Accords, which saw Hamas’ secular rival Fatah renounce “the use of terrorism and other acts of violence” and recognize Israel in pursuit of a two-state solution. Hamas continued to advocate Palestinian armed resistance. Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, gaining a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council, and subsequently took control of Gaza Strip from Fatah in 2007.
There is roughly 2 million Palestine people in the Gaza Strip and another 2 or so million Palestine people in the West Bank. There are almost 8 million Jewish people in Israel. What I have noticed in these marches to support Palestine is that they are calling out Israel for what they consider apartheid behavior. Their slogans say, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. I don’t understand the slogan because I don’t know what they mean. Are they saying that Palestine should encompass all of what is now known as Israel? Or are they saying that Palestine is not free to do what they want? That they have to follow Israel’s laws? In either case, I don’t believe that Palestine isn’t free to do what they want in their own territory. The population numbers are significant because if Israel and Palestine were to merge into one country, the current number of Israelis outnumber the current number of Palestinians, which means that Israel would still be Israel in a democracy. The only problem being the Hamas faction which would not abide by a democratic election and still try to rule by violence, in my opinion. So, why and try to make it one state when in the end, you would still be outnumbered in a democratic election, unless your goal is to rule over Israelis, even though you are not the majority?
This conflict has deepened some divides in this country, those that are antisemites are going to be more so now and those that are islamophobic are also going to be more hardened. What I do notice is that social media just magnifies the problem. Everyone, from a no talent blog writer, present… thank you very much, to tik tok and X posters are going to have an opinion on the matter. Most are going to be wrong but have enough truth to make them seem credible, that’s in between their videos of how to get a flatter stomach while enlarging their glutes all in one easy step…. walking into the plastic surgeon’s office.
Another thing that is happening is that Fox News and CNN are agreeing, mostly, that Hamas is to blame for this incident, maybe it is the end of times. While there are young college students all over the U.S. that are protesting Israel and favoring Palestine, most adults feel that Hamas is the true criminal element. To be fair, if the adults had taken the side of the Palestinians the college students would immediately reverse course and be on Israel’s side. That’s youth for you. But this also shows that organizations like Hamas have taken to social media, mostly for recruiting purposes and for misinformation, to sway the young people to be on their side. They come up with a fictious story, like how they can’t collect their inheritance because the Zionists are holding their bank account prisoner and if you donate $1000 to them , they can get their riches and pay you back $100,000 they got from the Nigerian prince they just talked to. They spin how they are the victims and how the other side are the tormentors and give a version of history that makes them seem like they are the nice guys that wield machine guns and kill innocent people. Now, I’m talking about Hamas, not the Palestinians. I don’t think they are the same, but one never knows. It’s scary how young people can be so easily manipulated by terrorist organization. They can’t build a decent refrigerator but they can navigate through social media like if they were walking in the park…. with submachine guns.
What I do notice is that whenever a camera is on in Palestine, someone picks up a child and starts running somewhere, who knows where and who knows who’s child it is. They are great at theatrics and selling their portion of the unjustly persecuted. I don’t know if to believe they are telling the truth or if they are auditioning for the next San Andreas sequel. I think half the kids are eating a Big Mac while being carried into the hospital. They’re not but they also don’t look hurt. No blood or limbs missing. No head wounds. No apparent injury. Just some guy running with a kid, looking like they don’t want to miss the bus, which is on the other side of the hospital.
I’m just not buying the Hamas is just defending themselves bit. They refused to have a two State solution, which seems to mean that they want all the land to themselves and want all the Jewish Israeli’s to leave. I don’t know if that is even possible, for one, I don’t know if they would like what Israel has become, nice. Angry people need something to hate and if they had places like Tel Aviv, they might relax and die of peacefulness. It just wouldn’t work.
In my opinion, everyone should make their own, if this is actually classified as a war, then Israel should completely seize the Gaza strip and make it part of Israel. If you are going to kill 1300 people because you disagree with their religion or their politics or maybe their choice of music, who really knows, then their is always a price to pay for the instigator or the loser. If Israel loses, I’m sure Hamas would take over their land, so, if Hamas loses, I think it perfectly fitting that Israel be able to take away their biggest military asset, the Gaza Strip.
Well, I think I stated where I am at in this… I’m pro self-defense and anti dumb-dumb. Who is who, is up to you. I will say…. Shalom….
I guess the other thing we should consider is if these demonstrations were planned prior to the invasion. If the concerted effort in the U.S. and around the world to hold rallies to sway Americans and the world to turn on Israel was something that Hamas had planned prior to invading Israel. And if so, is there any legal repercussions here for anyone that knew in advance of an impending invasion of Israel that killed Americans, if they didn’t report to the proper authorities.
