In September 2001, in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, people gathered by the thousands across the country of Iran in spontaneous demonstrations and candlelight vigils to show support for America in its hour of grief.
Glad to see this piece from you, Charles. I hope your message is reaching your friend RFK Jr. I had high hopes for his campaign which have been dashed in the wake of his rabid and ahistorical stance on Israel, which echoes the worst rhetoric of America’s Western co-conspirators in the War on Terror. Enough is enough.
Yes, I was disappointed too. I would even say devastated. Yet he keeps me around despite my dissenting views. That at least is a hopeful sign. I just think we cannot give up.
I'm still working on the pretext of 9/11, which created the War on Terror, and wherein from 2003 to 2008, Bush-Cheney waged war on seven supposedly enemy nations, none of which caused 9/11 with the destruction of the Twin Towers, or WTC 7. Today, and for several years, we know the enormity of the evil that brought those buildings down with a stealth that is nearly beyond comprehension. America is the world dominator, and we can at least speak forthrightly about 9/11 as a pre-planned event using a WMD. Was Osama bin Laden really killed in Abbottsville, Pakistan by ambush of the U.S. Navy Seals, and buried at sea?
This is the act that effectively censored the 9/11 Truth Movement since 2011. It is the official denial of American complicity in its own "caused event". We must not bring up 9/11 without bringing the 'pink elephant into the room'. That would be letting the U.S. government off the hook for this, as well as its numerous other egregious offenses these last 22 years.
Excuse me, but why is this all about RFK Jr? Is this what you intended Charles by bringing up 9/11 first in your attenuated essay? This is the same kind of stuff that gets everybody distracted from what's really going on. America refuses to discuss 9/11, which is about as banned as discussing the Holocaust. Why? Because the American government slammed the buildings in order to give the pretext for the War on Terror, c. 2003-2008. What better evidence is there than a country's official forces killing 3000 innocent people that morning, c. Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
It is no different than killing a President of the United States in order to take over a war in a foreign country for twelve years. The only difference is that by 2001, it is compounded to a much larger degree. It predicts the present and future oracle of demise.
Thanks for responding, Pierre. It has been awhile since 9/11 has been showcased. Maybe 2001 shows just how much the destructive element can occur in the blink of an eye for us normal humans, and yet we find out that it had been planned for years, and using high-energy particle physics from Tevatron, no less.
"The Madness of Militarism," the 2023 Ellsberg Lecture by Norman Solomon is apropos here. Solomon says, for one thing, since 9/11 our military might has been turned on people of color over and over and over with zero accountability or justification. As constitutional lawyer Daniel P. Sheehan (Christic Institute non profit which the Reagan feds destroyed for speaking truth to power, after which they became the Romero Institute) has pointed out this way and that through the years, we have a ways to go, living as we have and do, on the spoils of Empire.
Admitting that it caused 9/11 would be the first step in the American government's quest for forgiveness and redemption. But, instead, it only wants to rule the world ever since Gorby brought down the Soviet Union under the auspices of Reagan and Bush. Bush even stole the election in 1988 from Michael Dukakis in order to further the downfall of the USSR, and making America the sole and only superpower in the world. This is why the decade of the 1990's was the pretext to 9/11, and all under the watchful eye of William Jefferson Clinton. Now, today, we must force the truth by telling it.
Just don't lose sight of "Gorby" in the very genuine and spirited, human-to-human, State of the World Forum. Sara Nelson, of Romero Institute & Lakota Peoples Law Project, was the executive director of that endeavor.
State of the World Forum
1999 · San Francisco Bay Area

I haven't lost sight of that, or Gorbachev's near total rejection as a traitor by the Russian people when he ran for President in 1996. Please remember that he defected to the west and created the Gorbachev Foundation at the Presidio, San Francisco. In 1999, while he was attending the State of the World Forum, the criminalization of Russia was being demonstrated by Boris Yeltsin and the man on the way up, Vladimir Putin. This book describes in detail:
Why not support Marianne Williamson or Cornell West? I imagine they have as much chance of getting in as RFK, but are candidates with deeper thought and more integrity.
Yes, Marianne Williamson ran four years ago, but you have to understand that if you don't have millions of dollars to support your campaign after the primaries, then forget it. Remember Tulsi Gabbard? She was the best candidate there was for telling the truth four years ago, but did not qualify to continue without the bucks. That is why Biden came front and center on the ballot. Lots of money. The other candidates simply disappeared.
Maybe he thinks he knows all about it already and so that makes him think he doesn't have to look further. I suspect the Israeli lobby in the US is doing a bang up job of keeping the politicians brainwashed. And barring that, blackmail or bribery. His actions and inaction and statements are very out of character for someone who has such a long history of fighting corrupt bullies. It IS true that it is nearly impossible to teach someone something they think they already know all about. They won't look because they don't think they need to-- they already "know".
This is really quite provocative, and that is why I like it. Have you heard of the Balfour Declaration from 1917? It was designed to create the Jewish nation out of the European diaspora after World War I. If it had happened, as it should, the Jewish persecutions and genocide of WW II would not exist. But, we know that the Jews were kept in Europe as part of the larger massacre of victimization, and that is why Zionism was/is so rife with the war between the Israelites and the Palestinians ever since 1948. It was all part of the larger geopolitical scheme of keeping the European Jewish people held in place, rather than creating the homeland that should have occurred in 1918 when WW I ended. By 1948, the European Jews were seething. It was planned that way, and for 75 years the Arab-Israeli War has infected the world at various times, like now.
When is the election? Ok, when is the genocide that is CURRENTLY happening in Palestine ? If you are so mad at him about his statement, are you also feeling the need to find out what can be done to invoke the Genocide Convention at the World Court? Maybe its your turn to be the hero.
One thing that I have to keep relearning, is that no one is perfect, everyone will disappoint me in one way or another. It is tempting to go from investing all one's hopes in a candidate, to feeling totally betrayed. Well, this candidate has disappointed me in some ways, and exceeded my expectations in others. With him, as with anyone in my life, I do not hold an impossible standard of perfection. What I do, is to be a stand for the best possible version of himself. I believe that he will have a change of heart on this issue.
RFK Jr supporters have already stepped out on a limb to support him. We believe in what he says. The corruption of the empire is beyond our worst imaginings. Can’t read his books and think differently. Beyond our worst imaginings. So when someone with his ability to see beyond the curtain supports something so obviously veiled behind multiple motivations, some high, some very low, and won’t speak on it, won’t use the fine mind and skills we have learned to respect to discuss the whole matter with intelligence and nuance, we’re concerned. We lose trust because it doesn’t follow suit, doesn’t make sense. I’ve stepped back, way back. Back to the edges again, waiting and watching. Thanks for your words. Tucking them away as I wait and watch.
Yes. It has been devastating. I think you are right, many many supporters have stepped back .And they will come back if he takes a stand for peace. As long as there is a chance of that, I will stay in the mix. Because what other chance is there? Biden? Trump?
I respect that you are remaining with him. I just left the house of some of my peace activist friends - the few who stuck with me despite my differing views on the pandemic. I know they do not understand me at all(which confounds me)yet we break bread together still. I have faith in the ongoing communion with people trying to do their best in extremely difficult circumstances. Who knows what may come of it. Though it feels like there is dense fog between us, there is also love and care so we press on. They headed out the door to hand out food with Food Not Bombs as they always do and I left feeling sad... at the separation... but such love, too. What a profound bind we find ourselves in. Thank you for your willingness to talk about it honestly.
Joseph T, of course any sane person opposes genocide. The genocide of the Palestinians has been HEAVILY censored and lied about. I don't know how many journalists who tried to get the truth out have been killed since 7 Oct, close to 100? Plus, I watched the hour long Breaking Points interview with RFK Jr. Apparently, some propaganda video was shown him , probably the same footage Biden was shown before he passed on the lies about babies heads and burning people. Must have been some shock and awe video to spur on agreement for further atrocities against the Palestinians. Some of it apparently, was done by IDF, not Hamas . It has been hard to get the truth outside of social media, which is probably why they REALLY want more censor laws. I like the Gray Zone video of Max Blumenthal "What Really Happened on October 7th."
Rfk is being tested. He cannot pass the god tests bt being anti wax. That is not an auto pass cUse he was doing this for decades. Not new for him. This is the real test on discernment for oct 7
Charles, I sure do hope RFK JR does have a change of heart on this. The Israeli government and media and other political political parties there are trying to h
The media is trying to hammer it into people that Hammas is everywhere to make it justifiable to do all that genociding of the Palestinians, who haven't even had an election since 2006. In the Rwandan Genocide case the media was also convicted, as appropriately so. Until people are held accountable for their atrocities these things wont stop, they'll just get worse. Right now brave South Africa needs to be backed up.
This travesty occurred entirely under the watch of William Jefferson Clinton, POTUS, 1993-2000. "Sometimes in April" is the heart-wrenching movie, c. 2005.
Clinton is known for actually asking if this tragedy took place on his watch as President of the United States, ref. Atlantic Monthly, c. 2001.
Brave South Africa makes one think of Nelson Mandela, and his predecessor, Patrice Lumumba, who was murdered for the sake of the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1961. Asshole America rules it all, folks, and for many years now.
Blum's "Killing Hope" sets the margin of distinction in terms of who wins. Yet, America as the land of the free and the home of the brave has certain qualifying factors. We are living right now in the slim margin. That is why the battle must go internal, where the soul dwells.
Steve, a life should be well and wisely used towards helping humanity out and away from this barbarism it currently calls "civilization". The truth tellers and whistleblowers such as Assange and Daniel Hale are the ones who keep us most secure. Yet the cocooned so called "leaders"that consider that "help" and security is contributing to the bombing into oblivion of 20,000 innocent civilians are touted as the "heroes" in our twisted society. Biden, Blinken and Lloyd Austin III should stand trial for genocide along with the Israeli politicians, military and media spurring it on. People are tired of senseless murder being carried out in the name of "national security" when all it does is make us less secure. Nelson Mandela and Patrice Lumbumba were acting on honor and integrity. A person's honor and integrity are more important than their immediate life. Honor and Integrity ARE spiritual matters. You can't weigh them on a scale or go down to the local drug or grocery store and buy them. They are spiritual qualites- non material.
Charles, I just watched the hour long interview with RFK jr on Breaking Points. These parts I liked : "I don't think a single civilian death is fine" at 15:12 and at 16:24 "If Israel dropped White Phosphorous on civilian populations illegally then they should be prosecuted for war crimes...."
At 19:13 "If it violates the Geneva Convention or if they're deliberately - at any point , anybody is deliberately targeting civilians - they should be prosecuted and they should be jailed and the key should be thrown away". He made it clear he does not think this is happening and at one point he said "why are we just going after the Jews?" In a very defensive way that most Americans his age since youth have been taught to have this huge compassion for the discriminated against Jew, as if the Holocaust is happening in the present. So it seems he also has bought the idea that it is completely the cause of the bogeyman Hamas so much like we all after 9/11 were taught that it was all Al-Qaeda. We were led to believe that bombing half the world away with the justification of getting this mystery group would solve all these problems. But it was a lie. Watch the documentary on the history of Al-Qaeda that James Corbett did at Corbett report.com. The propaganda and censorship around this conflict, in my opinion, has influenced RFK Jrs ability to really know the facts here. When we don't know the truth, or the truth is hidden from us we make errors.
Exactly. Lies compound upon lies. 9/11 was definitely a bogeyman. Al-Qaeda is a nonsense term made up by the western powers scheming to find the necessary pretext for exploiting high-energy particle physics. I talked about this before, but it is good to see how this forum is a wake-up call. Good stuff. It is very perceptive to see that RFK Jrs ability to decide is being assaulted, as we speak. He needs this kind of analysis, which Charles leads. Thanks very much.
so do I Charles. so do I. The truth will find him through a crack in the walls he has erected and he will have the eyes to see it. And the ears to hear it. This is my prayer. The time has come.
I have a similar dilemma with Biden. I realize he’s done a lot of good that he doesn’t get credit for, and the alternative in 2024 is too horrifying to contemplate. Yet how can I pull the lever for someone who wholeheartedly sanctions and funds the slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians and the obliteration of a civilization?
Charles, if you still have contact with RFK Jr, it would be great if he could enlighten us as to the hold that Zionism seems to have over a startling portion of our leader ship class.
the problem is not "leadership class". the problem is us-- that we carry on believing that somewhere deep down inside their rotting souls these so-called human beings who own and operate ruling power institutions are somehow redeemable and worthy of our support if they would only "see the light" and behave themselves.
we pitifully, hopelessly, pathetically cling to this belief (that there can ever be such a thing as "good rule by means of force") despite every indication of its' steadily decaying shreds falling apart in our hands. mass belief in the lie of authority, Charles-- here is your mysterious "deep psychology at work". leaders do not slaughter innocents, we do if for them.
at least some folks here are starting to face the reality of things, that politics is sham theater played by the psychotic powerful for the "benefit" of the psychotic powerless.
get hold of yourself. follow your heart. free your mind. let "the world" be sick. let "the world" be mad. let "the world" die. there will be no "good leader/politician". not ever.
That kind of logic is entirely against the inner work needed, and why conscience is motivating these responses for a better world. Can we move mountains, or not?
Your disparagement of RFK Jr is evidence of the extent to which the powers that be fear him, and you are evidently a troll for them, trying to sow doubt where none should exist. The powers that be fear his abilities to improve the world like no other person in the world, by reducing corruption, restoring democracy, ending forever wars, restoring our human rights and constitutional rights, cracking down on polluters of every kind (including of our planet and bodies), and bringing integrity back into the mainstream.
We see you for what you are.
To everyone: listen to him, and read his books. The latest one, The Wuhan Cover-up, is a must. His next one, America's Path Back to Moral Leadership, will be a must.
SImmer down and speak for yourself. We are all allowed to express our dissapointment without becoming enemies. I fully support RFK, and also, he cannot save humanity by himself, no matter what you think. It will require more of us to shift.
That is a serious misrepresentation of RFK's statement. What he was saying was that a lot of money goes to the support of Palestine, but instead of going to rebuilding infrastructure, it goes directly into the military coffers of Hamas. Hamas has zero interest in protecting the innocent civilians. If innocent civilians die, it's actually good for Hamas' business model.
That is an unsupported accusation. The "infrastructure" of Gaza was just fine. it is the fact that Israel controls everything that goes into Gaza, including water and electricity (no more than four hours a day), that they absolutely restrict everything about the lives of Gazans, including who can enter and who can leave, whether they can fish off their own coast or not, and even forbid them to surf on their own coast, how many "calories" a day can enter Gaza, etc. down to the most picayune restrictions. Then there is the fact that they bomb Gaza every two or three years just for the hell of it--it's called "mowing the lawn." And if the Gazans protest peacefully, then the IDF sits on the watchtowers along the wall they created and picks the protesters off one by one, or has contests to see how many kneecaps they can destroy. I am not making this up or deriving it from some crackpot source. It all comes from the Israeli press itself. And then there are the well-attested rapes of Palestinian women, the "administrative detention" whereby they can take people from their beds at night and hold them for years without trial or charge, beating, starving and raping them at will. Before 10/7 Israel was holding thousands of Palestinians this way. In other words, they were holding hostages. Yet if Hamas breaks out of the Gaza concentration camp and rebels violently in order to take hostages to exchange for Palestinian hostages (which they have a right to do under International Law) then this incident is denounced as if it were completely isolated and unprovoked. It is rich that you would say "Hamas has zero interest in protecting innocent civilians" as if Israel has no control itself over what it is doing to innocent civilians, or as if Hamas could somehow protect them from bunker buster bombs or white phosphorus. It is Israel who killed a third of the Israelis killed on 10/7, and Israel which has had no concern for its own citizens in Gaza. Hamas (which was founded and funded right up to the present day by Israel incidentally--Israeli officials admit it was created to act as a boogeyman for propaganda and strategic purposes) does not have a "business model" any more than any resistance group in any occupied country has a business model.
Love RFK Jr. Certainly have a untold respect for him.. What he is saying about Palestine is so way off the mark, and out of character, it has baffled many of his supporters. It is incongruous with his thoughts on Ukraine, and his talk about the military industrial complex. He is missing a vital part of the story... It only makes his supporters believe he is appeasing some of his big donors, like Bill Ackman
This all may be true about Hamas abusing funds. But on the world stage you can't go around saying, at a time when the Palestinians are being subjected to a slaughter, that they are the most pampered people in the world
I think you should listen to the whole segment again. He's pretty clear in the point he is making. RFK doesn't defend the excesses of Netanyahu either. He's just a realist, and understands a military response to the problem of Hamas.
I should hope so. But again, to call people who are being slaughtered in fromt of the whole world, "pampered" comes across as incredibly out of touch and callous, and is not what a realist would say..
I guess if we cant watch the interview ourselves it's a matter of he said, she said, he said, and subsequent interpretation. Exact and specific quotes in context are most helpful. Plus, who knows what lies he himself may have been subjected to that he now believes.
Despite our past ideals regarding the character of the USA, it is easy to understand how the satanic Isrealhell FAKE "Jew"/jewsurist zionazi world fascists have been able to control RFK, Jr. simply by mentioning what they did to his father, RFK, and his uncle, JFK. Those satanic zionazis control the entire political structure and everyone in it, and thereby further control the lives of all obedient sheeple who still support their own continued enslavement by participating in that system.
Jeffrey, are you aware that your response is a clear example of anti-Semitic belief?
Have you researched the origins of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - a propaganda piece originally created in Russia which was used by Hitler to create enemies of all the Jews? It is the same propaganda has been used by Hamas in support of their vow to destroy Israel. It is the fabricated idea that Jews rule the world and engage in human/child sacrifice and blood libel (drinking blood) and is COMPLETELY fabricated for purposes of political power at the expense of the Jewish people…. That was true in WWII and sadly continues to be true today.
Beware of leaders who tell you we can achieve peace if we simply eliminate the evil people. As Charles points out, that only leads to greater calamity and war.
The message from Charles is to step out of the instinct to label people - including Zionist Jews - as enemies - and to seek peace.
Do you notice: Everything these DEMONICALLY braintrashed minions say is a plagiarized JOKE --- though unfortunately very soullessly destructive.
I had already earlier responded to a long, patient, lucidly intelligent response by another author... and now ila rose copies my words and sentiment in her response to anirtaK, whose letter was not at all an expression of genuine intelligence, thoughtfulness, or patience!
It is so very sad when soulless, braintrashed, arrogant Reptilican demon-controlled megalomaniacs ("God's chosen," riiiiight?!) continue charading, parading, and masquerading as if they have attained consciously intelligent human-hood WHILE their Isrealhell government, AFTER HAVING STAGED A FALSE FLAG/INSIDE JOB/IDF STAND-DOWN event on October 7th coordinated with Hamas --- Hamas who is created and funded by scheming lying satanic Isrealhell, who is long known for creating and using controlled oppositional entities, so they can use the corporate prostituted FauxNewsmedia outlets under their ownership & control, to fraudulently fearporn and propagandize into mutually stupid deadly conflict the populations of the nations/republics which they seek to bring entirely under their control --- selling armaments and weapons systems of their own demonic creation to ALL SIDES in the conflicts.
War is Satan's roasting and feasting on ignorant souls. War is the combination of the worst of all satanic and (sub)human criminality combined into one sordid soul-scorching, frenzied extravaganza.
THIS is how and why the demonic Satanyahu and his demonic Isrealhell cronies in the Knesset/Mossad had premeditatively planned and carried out the October 7 FALSE FLAG/INSIDE JOB event: as the (utterly anti-rational) justification/excuse to obliterate their hosts in the Palestinians' homeland.
GET A HANDLE ON THIS; THIS IS WHAT SATAN LOOKS LIKE, TALKS LIKE, WALKS LIKE; THIS is how the satanically deranged falsify, murder, and steal from their neighbors... and real, orthodox, TORAH-aligned Jews detest the satanic zionazis for impugning their name by these satanic behaviors.
I suspect there are a few individuals in Israel that are trying to destroy Israel as well as Palestine. Such actions could be considered Anti-Semitic. Protesting genocide or speaking angry upset words against genocide and genocidal policies is NOT Anti-Semitic. His words are not bullets and bombs. It's a twisted world with twisted meanings.
really not interested in following recycled QAnon theories, nor am I interested in Anti-Semitic remarks driven by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (re-popularized and renamed by QAnon) like the one you are making here.
I am interested in an effective and efficient pathway to peace, with is why I appreciate Charles’ writings.
How do we co-create a world in which we stop labeling others as “evil” and pretending we can create peace by eliminating them?
Dear anirtaK (you folks habitually invert everything, so ...) I am NOT among the herd of idiot-sheeple who swallowed the Q/Trumpery psych-Op. I do not even play nor participate in the stupid satanic bread-and-circus diversion charade of the so-called "representative democratic" satanic political structure, which is rife with falsehood, competition, corruption, greed.
In other words, from your cramped, ignorant view, you simply cannot accurately view me nor accurately interpret anything that I communicate. The falsifying, murdering, satanic zionazi braintrashing culture is perhaps the purest contemporary example of collective satanic insanity in action, as it acts out its collective perverted inversion of the principles of existence.
This is the nature of separative egocentric ignorant projection and cognitive dissonance.
The construct of the satanic, lying ADL's utterly deceitful, inverted bullshit RUSE/PLOY of crying out "You're Anti-semitic!" is, and always has been a complete crock of shit bluff, which has played a large role in eliminating our capacity to obtain any truth from mainstream corporate prostituted FauxNewsmedia outlets. Many people have kowtowed to the "anti-Semitic!" bluff and bullying, but come on, you cannot keep playing the same worn-out old bullshit ploy over and over before the reality of the bullshit has become apparent to EVERYONE. There are numerous points to be made which confirm this fact, but I will begin by clarifying this next point to you regarding myself, my character, my mind, and my soul intention --- because, between you and I, I am the one who is an authority on myself --- and unless it is your intent to continue making a lying fool/idiot of yourself and your braintrashed mental/emotional spewage, you have no place trying to tell me who or what I am.
My truest, PRIMARY identity is the same pure timeless, birthless/deathless formless universal all-pervasive awareness that is the source-essence of ALL. That is, once in an NDE, I was directly shown that my truth of being is not primarily the physical humanoid form; this humanoid form is but a temporary vessel for earthly experience. Perhaps you, too, will soon likewise be graced with the experience of discovery that your true identity is One with ALL; thus enabling you to realize that as you murder your divine siblings, you murder yourself. With all the other optional creative, life-expanding ideations available to us in an infinite conscious universe, it is egregiously sad to view the rotten fruits of rotten separative egocentric ideation that your braintrashed, bewildered, abused, gaslighted, traumatized culture continues recycling, instead of praying for release from the endlessly reiterated ideations and expressions of satanically delusional murderous insanity.
And to think: the problem of your dense demonic delusional entrapment could be immediately resolved... if you had at your command the intelligence of a bright five-year-old child.
Why should any of us wish to be interested in your cianon conspiracy theories? They have been proven to be false psy ops and not very good ones at that
When you are the evil baddie you preach we should fight, you can start with the cia mossad that slaughtered americans and blamed it on isil ayrabs
You can pretend to fight evil by labeling it as anti semitic. Look in a mirror then.
You must be yet another deeply braintrashed khaz-Aryan mafia (NOT Semitic), lying, thieving, murderous FAKE-ASS "Jew"/jewsurist.
Nobody needs any 'Protocols of the elders of Zion' to OBSERVE the genocidally murderous, lying, deceitful methods utilized by the IDOLATROUS fake-jew anti-Torah, anti-christ, anti-christian, anti-muslim, anti-truth, anti-peace, anti-gentile, anti-"goyim" worshipers of the 6-pointed star of the demon Remphan --- an ancient deranged worship based on murdering living beings as a sacrifice to your demonic "gods" of Ba'al/Mammon/Moloch/Remphan.
In other words you deranged, degraded humanoid subhumans are projecting your own debilitating fears onto all others; YOU ARE NOT SEMITIC JEWS.
Actually, YOU are the demonic, lying, primary racist anti-semitics projecting your ANTI-HUMAN ignorance on everyone else.
When you look in the mirror at yourself what do you see? You cannot see that that you are insane, deranged, perpetually lying genocidal thieves and murderers. You may be blindered by your own braintrashed insanity and FALSE EXISTENCE, but everyone else sees you clearly. Yours is the most fucked-up example of a humanoid culture driven to deranged insanity by your own traumatized ignorance.
It seems to me that there is no help for you until you become sufficiently intelligent, mature, and honest to realize that master teachers of awakened universal awareness appear continuously before you, and to all of us, to teach us the Way of sanity, balance, truthfulness, honesty, awareness, righteousness... yet you merely murder/sacrifice these saviors of truth and liberation to your deranged demonic FAKE "Gods."
You are not yet sufficiently evolved to discern heaven from hell, up from down, truth from falsehood, life from death; your cerebral interpretive structure has apparently degraded due to your despicable, depraved interpretations of life and existence.
You need only the intelligence of a bright five-year-old child to comprehend that as you treat others, so shall you be treated; the seeds that you plant represent the harvest that you will reap, and heap upon yourselves.
By our seeds, roots, shoots, and fruits are we each recognized and known. Your seeds and roots and fruits are those of separation, sacrifice, falsehood, fear, and death. Live by the sword, guns, falsehoods/lies, and thereby effect your own speedy demise. Five-year-old children can understand this SIMPLE, mutually uplifting, mutually liberating principle... but the demonic control over your soul-heart-mind keeps you blindered in darkness so that you cannot see the TRUTH OF ONE which sets us all FREE from enslavement to demonic ignorance/darkness, mutual destruction, hell.
It seems that people are misunderstanding RFK's stance on Israel/Palestine. He is too thoughtful, intelligent and loving to have intended to say what is being attributed to him. He is the world's best hope right now, so I would encourage those who are newly disappointed in him to take another look at what he said. This middle east situation is so complex that it's very easy to read into anyone's opinions something that is not there.
At this stage there is little in this world for which I would lay my head on a block. But Charles a troll? no come on, that's ludicrous.
I too love RFK and am rooting for him all the way. That doesn't stop me struggling to understand his stance on this particular issue. That doesn't mean I am attacking him. What's more is that he would be the first to acknowledge my right to disagree.
To me it appears something about this has touched a nerve with RFK. As mature, compassionate people the best we can do is try to understand what is going on for him.
It IS a mystery and out of character from someone who has a history of standing up to bullies. So what gives? I can't say I know. I've read many theories. Not sure what to think. But these things I know:
1. The true story of what is happening over there is censored from the public internationally, but it is EXTREMELY bad in the USA and ISRAEL. Journalists have been killed for attempting to get the truth out. MANY JOURNALISTS. So, if it is that bad for the publics in these places, who get fed a steady stream of lies by Hollywood and the mainstream media, what do you think it is like for the politicians who diet on that b....crap from the Lobbyists 24-7?
2. It is the most Herculean task to try to teach someone something they consider they already know all about (no matter how wrong they may be). They simply will not look, as they feel they have no need. Add that to a very sophisticated censor system and its even harder.
3. Blackmail has been a common practice in politics since the beginning of time. When Meyer and the mafia got into politics, what a circus! Epstein could certainly have delivered several seminars on the subject. Are politicians afraid Israel will use its nukes if pushed? JFK apparently did some pushing in the area of Israel and Nukes before his murder.
4. Who knows? Until we know, we can only speculate with a greater or lesser degree of success. It could even get as crazy as has he been cloned? A double? Foiled? But then we have to admit that "HITMAN" , "VANTAGE POINT" and "THE ISLAND" are just movies after all. Just because a Chinese scientist managed to clone a human successfully doesn't mean everyone's doing it now. Plus, Biden looks pretty good for his age, despite having numerous vaccines, cases of Covid and new FANGled treatments. He definitely looks different to me though when he IS seen publicly.
It seems there may be some confusion – my comment was in response to Joseph Tomlinson's comment, not to Charles' wonderful, thought-provoking essay.
Also, I agree with David's comment, “It seems that people are misunderstanding RFK's stance on Israel/Palestine. He is too thoughtful, intelligent and loving to have intended to say what is being attributed to him. He is the world's best hope right now, so I would encourage those who are newly disappointed in him to take another look at what he said. This middle east situation is so complex that it's very easy to read into anyone's opinions something that is not there.”
So true. We must be careful to discern and guard against the army of smear-mongerers that have been deployed to spread doubt and falsehoods and misconstrued opinions about RFK.
RFK has the historical knowledge and wherewithal to carry out his promises: to re-build the gutted middle class; get corrupt corporate influence out of government so our agencies protect the public rather than enriching corporations; breathe new life into the dying American Dream with new housing and low-interest loans for young people to be able to get their foot in the door of home ownership; fix immigration by stopping the flood of illegals, sealing the border and facilitating an appropriate level of lawful, orderly immigration; and end the forever wars and have no new wars on his watch. Just consider that last one. It's the epitome of being a peace candidate. That alone would stem the current siphoning of America's wealth that's now funding wars and bioweapons and enable us to fix our crumbling infrastructure, reduce chronic disease in children and adults, clean up the toxic food supply and environment, invest in jobs and education, and more.
I was his biggest fan and contributor until he spouted his ignorant a-historical unethical Israel nonsense. The trouble is that it is not an independent issue--it affects his whole platform and makes everything he has said he believes nonsense. If he can't research this issue, how can we believe his research on any issue? if he can be interviewed and produce vomitus like "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," "Israel is not an apartheid state," "Israel does not target civilians," and "Israel has a right to defend itself," then he will lie about anything. He is not an honest actor. And of course, it shows he is NOT an anti-forever-wars candidate. He is just as much of a fraud as Bernie Sanders was and is.
Seriously! he's pretending that ethnic cleansing/ genocide is not taking place before his eyes. he's also pretending that Israel is not flattening gaza and making it uninhabitable and disease ridden, so that they can annex it when the palastinans are gone.
Thank you. The most hopeful light in all this darkness is that Israelis themselves are leading the opposition to this carnage, at least here in America. Tragic that RFK has failed his initial promise to bring people together for peace. He's become politically incoherent to me. Such a shame.
Charles, I appreciate your sentiments here but you need to get your facts straight. Hamas killed a maximum of 115 civilians on Oct 7, the IDF killed a minimum of 120. The IDF blocked the road a half-mile from the rave parking area so no one could get out. The damage done to cars, with people in them, couldn't have been done by Hamas. They just didn't have weapons capable of it. It could only have been done by incendiary bombs dropped by the IDF. There are many, many more details to corroborate these facts, which would be useful for RFK to know. Here are a couple of my articles talking about it, with many links: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/yuval-bibi-and-maajid and https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/profiteering-and-propaganda-israelhamas.
It doesn't matter whether it was 1200 or 120. What matters is that the attacks are being used as a justification for a program of vengeance and violence and domination. If we debate about the numbers, we are having the wrong conversation.
It doesn't matter indeed whether it was 1200 or 120, however what matters here is the way you put it, that "Hamas conducted a merciless terrorist attack on Israel, killing 1200 people".
With this you are quoting verbatim the main propaganda piece that is used as justification of/for the the subsequent genocidal bombing of Gaza.
I find it regretful that you virtually spoil your own beautiful expression of hope for a miracle with this propaganda quote.
As long as this 'terrorist attack' sentiment is kept alive, there is no chance of a miracle to happen which you kind of concede above: "the attacks are being used as a justification for a program of vengeance and violence and domination". Most likely that was the plan all along.
Let me put it this way. Even granting the premise put forth by Israel to justify its obliteration of Gaza and murder of 21,000 human beings (and counting), still it is a moral outrage. If we hinge the argument on the number killed by Hamas, then we imply that if the Israeli account of the attacks is correct, their actions are justifiable. That is why I don't want to get hung up on the numbers. Although I believe that the deeper we dig down, the more lies we will find. But I have written this piece to be accessible to people who haven't swallowed the entire red pill.
Charles, my point was that anytime the largely made-up propaganda piece that Hamas conducted a "merciless terrorist attack on Israel" is repeated/proliferated, we subtly contribute to the justification of Israel's actions.
"One person's terrorist is another ones freedom fighter", is very much applicable here.
I am aware that you "have written this piece to be accessible to people who haven't swallowed the entire red pill". Thanks for that.
The path is already beaten by eg Norman Finkelstein. If Hamas is terror. What is IOF? Looking forward to the full red pill follow-up 💊 in fact I’ll take it right here: Israel’s role is to bring the whole show down....
Daily we are getting new evidence about the events of Oct 7th, shifting the narrative from 'merciless Hamas terrorist attack' towards a more balanced assessment of who killed whom and did or did not what to whom. The jury is still out on it and may remain so for a long time.
As to "Israel’s role is to bring the whole show down..." obviously the show is crumbling significantly and Israel is playing a part in that, however isn't the saying that the show ain't over till the fat lady -aka USA- sings.?
This is all built on lies,lies and more lies. And you are repeating many of them. Truth matters. I thought you understood that. And violence against innocent people is never justifiable.
How October 7th occurred, who instructed the Rave to move to that location from its original site in the south just days before the event. Moved all the military away from that area and then the most militarised watched border in the world didn’t see the break out etc. Who actually is to blame for the killed innocent is the same in different guises. Until you out them they will stop
oops, keyboard error. We weaken our moral argument if we hinge it on "Hamas's attack wasn't so bad after all." Terrible atrocities were committed by Hamas fighters. I have read and seen eyewitness testimony from ordinary people, survivors. The new narrative here is not "Those we have been told are the bad guys are actually the good guys, and vice versa." No. That whole way of thinking is the problem. If you base your argument for peace on saying that these eyewitnesses are liars and Hamas did not commit atrocious acts, you stand on shaky ground. My point is this: even if the attacks were every bit as bad as Israel says they were, still, murdering 20 times that number (and counting) is not going to accomplish anything but maintain the cycle of hate and create new victims, more war, less security for generations to come.
Glad to see this piece from you, Charles. I hope your message is reaching your friend RFK Jr. I had high hopes for his campaign which have been dashed in the wake of his rabid and ahistorical stance on Israel, which echoes the worst rhetoric of America’s Western co-conspirators in the War on Terror. Enough is enough.
Yes, I was disappointed too. I would even say devastated. Yet he keeps me around despite my dissenting views. That at least is a hopeful sign. I just think we cannot give up.
I'm still working on the pretext of 9/11, which created the War on Terror, and wherein from 2003 to 2008, Bush-Cheney waged war on seven supposedly enemy nations, none of which caused 9/11 with the destruction of the Twin Towers, or WTC 7. Today, and for several years, we know the enormity of the evil that brought those buildings down with a stealth that is nearly beyond comprehension. America is the world dominator, and we can at least speak forthrightly about 9/11 as a pre-planned event using a WMD. Was Osama bin Laden really killed in Abbottsville, Pakistan by ambush of the U.S. Navy Seals, and buried at sea?
This is the act that effectively censored the 9/11 Truth Movement since 2011. It is the official denial of American complicity in its own "caused event". We must not bring up 9/11 without bringing the 'pink elephant into the room'. That would be letting the U.S. government off the hook for this, as well as its numerous other egregious offenses these last 22 years.
Excuse me, but why is this all about RFK Jr? Is this what you intended Charles by bringing up 9/11 first in your attenuated essay? This is the same kind of stuff that gets everybody distracted from what's really going on. America refuses to discuss 9/11, which is about as banned as discussing the Holocaust. Why? Because the American government slammed the buildings in order to give the pretext for the War on Terror, c. 2003-2008. What better evidence is there than a country's official forces killing 3000 innocent people that morning, c. Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
It is no different than killing a President of the United States in order to take over a war in a foreign country for twelve years. The only difference is that by 2001, it is compounded to a much larger degree. It predicts the present and future oracle of demise.
William Blum asked a few years ago, "Does America have an evil twin?"
https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/13/130AEF1531746AAD6AC03EF59F91E1A1_Killing_Hope_Blum_William.pdf
It's like finding a friend here in a weary world, that Willy Wonka sees in Charley Bucket. "You've won".
Thanks for responding, Pierre. It has been awhile since 9/11 has been showcased. Maybe 2001 shows just how much the destructive element can occur in the blink of an eye for us normal humans, and yet we find out that it had been planned for years, and using high-energy particle physics from Tevatron, no less.
"The Madness of Militarism," the 2023 Ellsberg Lecture by Norman Solomon is apropos here. Solomon says, for one thing, since 9/11 our military might has been turned on people of color over and over and over with zero accountability or justification. As constitutional lawyer Daniel P. Sheehan (Christic Institute non profit which the Reagan feds destroyed for speaking truth to power, after which they became the Romero Institute) has pointed out this way and that through the years, we have a ways to go, living as we have and do, on the spoils of Empire.
https://youtu.be/snSAhj_KgtU?si=VEmWQailXaEB00nW
Admitting that it caused 9/11 would be the first step in the American government's quest for forgiveness and redemption. But, instead, it only wants to rule the world ever since Gorby brought down the Soviet Union under the auspices of Reagan and Bush. Bush even stole the election in 1988 from Michael Dukakis in order to further the downfall of the USSR, and making America the sole and only superpower in the world. This is why the decade of the 1990's was the pretext to 9/11, and all under the watchful eye of William Jefferson Clinton. Now, today, we must force the truth by telling it.
Just don't lose sight of "Gorby" in the very genuine and spirited, human-to-human, State of the World Forum. Sara Nelson, of Romero Institute & Lakota Peoples Law Project, was the executive director of that endeavor.
State of the World Forum

I haven't lost sight of that, or Gorbachev's near total rejection as a traitor by the Russian people when he ran for President in 1996. Please remember that he defected to the west and created the Gorbachev Foundation at the Presidio, San Francisco. In 1999, while he was attending the State of the World Forum, the criminalization of Russia was being demonstrated by Boris Yeltsin and the man on the way up, Vladimir Putin.

Why not support Marianne Williamson or Cornell West? I imagine they have as much chance of getting in as RFK, but are candidates with deeper thought and more integrity.
Yes, Marianne Williamson ran four years ago, but you have to understand that if you don't have millions of dollars to support your campaign after the primaries, then forget it. Remember Tulsi Gabbard? She was the best candidate there was for telling the truth four years ago, but did not qualify to continue without the bucks. That is why Biden came front and center on the ballot. Lots of money. The other candidates simply disappeared.
I am glad you are still in it, Charles. I can only imagine how difficult it is to hold space for all this. Thank you.
Maybe he thinks he knows all about it already and so that makes him think he doesn't have to look further. I suspect the Israeli lobby in the US is doing a bang up job of keeping the politicians brainwashed. And barring that, blackmail or bribery. His actions and inaction and statements are very out of character for someone who has such a long history of fighting corrupt bullies. It IS true that it is nearly impossible to teach someone something they think they already know all about. They won't look because they don't think they need to-- they already "know".
This is really quite provocative, and that is why I like it. Have you heard of the Balfour Declaration from 1917? It was designed to create the Jewish nation out of the European diaspora after World War I. If it had happened, as it should, the Jewish persecutions and genocide of WW II would not exist. But, we know that the Jews were kept in Europe as part of the larger massacre of victimization, and that is why Zionism was/is so rife with the war between the Israelites and the Palestinians ever since 1948. It was all part of the larger geopolitical scheme of keeping the European Jewish people held in place, rather than creating the homeland that should have occurred in 1918 when WW I ended. By 1948, the European Jews were seething. It was planned that way, and for 75 years the Arab-Israeli War has infected the world at various times, like now.
2024 drama needs to be seen to be believed. Rfk has his part to play
Two million people stand to die in Palestine. What can we do legally and peacefully?
Stop working
Cease all financial activity.
One option yes
When is the election? Ok, when is the genocide that is CURRENTLY happening in Palestine ? If you are so mad at him about his statement, are you also feeling the need to find out what can be done to invoke the Genocide Convention at the World Court? Maybe its your turn to be the hero.
RFK Jr has completely failed and betrayed his promise to be a peace candidate.
One thing that I have to keep relearning, is that no one is perfect, everyone will disappoint me in one way or another. It is tempting to go from investing all one's hopes in a candidate, to feeling totally betrayed. Well, this candidate has disappointed me in some ways, and exceeded my expectations in others. With him, as with anyone in my life, I do not hold an impossible standard of perfection. What I do, is to be a stand for the best possible version of himself. I believe that he will have a change of heart on this issue.
RFK Jr supporters have already stepped out on a limb to support him. We believe in what he says. The corruption of the empire is beyond our worst imaginings. Can’t read his books and think differently. Beyond our worst imaginings. So when someone with his ability to see beyond the curtain supports something so obviously veiled behind multiple motivations, some high, some very low, and won’t speak on it, won’t use the fine mind and skills we have learned to respect to discuss the whole matter with intelligence and nuance, we’re concerned. We lose trust because it doesn’t follow suit, doesn’t make sense. I’ve stepped back, way back. Back to the edges again, waiting and watching. Thanks for your words. Tucking them away as I wait and watch.
Yes. It has been devastating. I think you are right, many many supporters have stepped back .And they will come back if he takes a stand for peace. As long as there is a chance of that, I will stay in the mix. Because what other chance is there? Biden? Trump?
I respect that you are remaining with him. I just left the house of some of my peace activist friends - the few who stuck with me despite my differing views on the pandemic. I know they do not understand me at all(which confounds me)yet we break bread together still. I have faith in the ongoing communion with people trying to do their best in extremely difficult circumstances. Who knows what may come of it. Though it feels like there is dense fog between us, there is also love and care so we press on. They headed out the door to hand out food with Food Not Bombs as they always do and I left feeling sad... at the separation... but such love, too. What a profound bind we find ourselves in. Thank you for your willingness to talk about it honestly.
Exactly what I have done: stepped back and am watching and waiting.
I appreciate your nuance and thoughtful writing. And agree that perfection is impossible in human beings.
Opposing genocide doesn't seem like a tough call however. "Ceasefire" isn't a dirty word.
Joseph T, of course any sane person opposes genocide. The genocide of the Palestinians has been HEAVILY censored and lied about. I don't know how many journalists who tried to get the truth out have been killed since 7 Oct, close to 100? Plus, I watched the hour long Breaking Points interview with RFK Jr. Apparently, some propaganda video was shown him , probably the same footage Biden was shown before he passed on the lies about babies heads and burning people. Must have been some shock and awe video to spur on agreement for further atrocities against the Palestinians. Some of it apparently, was done by IDF, not Hamas . It has been hard to get the truth outside of social media, which is probably why they REALLY want more censor laws. I like the Gray Zone video of Max Blumenthal "What Really Happened on October 7th."
Rfk is being tested. He cannot pass the god tests bt being anti wax. That is not an auto pass cUse he was doing this for decades. Not new for him. This is the real test on discernment for oct 7
Please stay on... You as part of his campaign gives us all hope on this issue. Thank you 🙏
Charles, I sure do hope RFK JR does have a change of heart on this. The Israeli government and media and other political political parties there are trying to h
The media is trying to hammer it into people that Hammas is everywhere to make it justifiable to do all that genociding of the Palestinians, who haven't even had an election since 2006. In the Rwandan Genocide case the media was also convicted, as appropriately so. Until people are held accountable for their atrocities these things wont stop, they'll just get worse. Right now brave South Africa needs to be backed up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide
This travesty occurred entirely under the watch of William Jefferson Clinton, POTUS, 1993-2000. "Sometimes in April" is the heart-wrenching movie, c. 2005.
Clinton is known for actually asking if this tragedy took place on his watch as President of the United States, ref. Atlantic Monthly, c. 2001.
Brave South Africa makes one think of Nelson Mandela, and his predecessor, Patrice Lumumba, who was murdered for the sake of the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1961. Asshole America rules it all, folks, and for many years now.
Blum's "Killing Hope" sets the margin of distinction in terms of who wins. Yet, America as the land of the free and the home of the brave has certain qualifying factors. We are living right now in the slim margin. That is why the battle must go internal, where the soul dwells.
Steve, a life should be well and wisely used towards helping humanity out and away from this barbarism it currently calls "civilization". The truth tellers and whistleblowers such as Assange and Daniel Hale are the ones who keep us most secure. Yet the cocooned so called "leaders"that consider that "help" and security is contributing to the bombing into oblivion of 20,000 innocent civilians are touted as the "heroes" in our twisted society. Biden, Blinken and Lloyd Austin III should stand trial for genocide along with the Israeli politicians, military and media spurring it on. People are tired of senseless murder being carried out in the name of "national security" when all it does is make us less secure. Nelson Mandela and Patrice Lumbumba were acting on honor and integrity. A person's honor and integrity are more important than their immediate life. Honor and Integrity ARE spiritual matters. You can't weigh them on a scale or go down to the local drug or grocery store and buy them. They are spiritual qualites- non material.
Charles, I just watched the hour long interview with RFK jr on Breaking Points. These parts I liked : "I don't think a single civilian death is fine" at 15:12 and at 16:24 "If Israel dropped White Phosphorous on civilian populations illegally then they should be prosecuted for war crimes...."
At 19:13 "If it violates the Geneva Convention or if they're deliberately - at any point , anybody is deliberately targeting civilians - they should be prosecuted and they should be jailed and the key should be thrown away". He made it clear he does not think this is happening and at one point he said "why are we just going after the Jews?" In a very defensive way that most Americans his age since youth have been taught to have this huge compassion for the discriminated against Jew, as if the Holocaust is happening in the present. So it seems he also has bought the idea that it is completely the cause of the bogeyman Hamas so much like we all after 9/11 were taught that it was all Al-Qaeda. We were led to believe that bombing half the world away with the justification of getting this mystery group would solve all these problems. But it was a lie. Watch the documentary on the history of Al-Qaeda that James Corbett did at Corbett report.com. The propaganda and censorship around this conflict, in my opinion, has influenced RFK Jrs ability to really know the facts here. When we don't know the truth, or the truth is hidden from us we make errors.
Exactly. Lies compound upon lies. 9/11 was definitely a bogeyman. Al-Qaeda is a nonsense term made up by the western powers scheming to find the necessary pretext for exploiting high-energy particle physics. I talked about this before, but it is good to see how this forum is a wake-up call. Good stuff. It is very perceptive to see that RFK Jrs ability to decide is being assaulted, as we speak. He needs this kind of analysis, which Charles leads. Thanks very much.
so do I Charles. so do I. The truth will find him through a crack in the walls he has erected and he will have the eyes to see it. And the ears to hear it. This is my prayer. The time has come.
I have a similar dilemma with Biden. I realize he’s done a lot of good that he doesn’t get credit for, and the alternative in 2024 is too horrifying to contemplate. Yet how can I pull the lever for someone who wholeheartedly sanctions and funds the slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians and the obliteration of a civilization?
Charles, if you still have contact with RFK Jr, it would be great if he could enlighten us as to the hold that Zionism seems to have over a startling portion of our leader ship class.
I do not know the answer. There is some deep psychology at work.
the problem is not "leadership class". the problem is us-- that we carry on believing that somewhere deep down inside their rotting souls these so-called human beings who own and operate ruling power institutions are somehow redeemable and worthy of our support if they would only "see the light" and behave themselves.
we pitifully, hopelessly, pathetically cling to this belief (that there can ever be such a thing as "good rule by means of force") despite every indication of its' steadily decaying shreds falling apart in our hands. mass belief in the lie of authority, Charles-- here is your mysterious "deep psychology at work". leaders do not slaughter innocents, we do if for them.
at least some folks here are starting to face the reality of things, that politics is sham theater played by the psychotic powerful for the "benefit" of the psychotic powerless.
get hold of yourself. follow your heart. free your mind. let "the world" be sick. let "the world" be mad. let "the world" die. there will be no "good leader/politician". not ever.
That kind of logic is entirely against the inner work needed, and why conscience is motivating these responses for a better world. Can we move mountains, or not?
Watch jfk. Mossad taught the goy8m a lesson with jfk and 9 11https://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2014/09/14/israel-is-the-problem/
It’s called AIPAC
Your disparagement of RFK Jr is evidence of the extent to which the powers that be fear him, and you are evidently a troll for them, trying to sow doubt where none should exist. The powers that be fear his abilities to improve the world like no other person in the world, by reducing corruption, restoring democracy, ending forever wars, restoring our human rights and constitutional rights, cracking down on polluters of every kind (including of our planet and bodies), and bringing integrity back into the mainstream.
We see you for what you are.
To everyone: listen to him, and read his books. The latest one, The Wuhan Cover-up, is a must. His next one, America's Path Back to Moral Leadership, will be a must.
RFK all the way.
SImmer down and speak for yourself. We are all allowed to express our dissapointment without becoming enemies. I fully support RFK, and also, he cannot save humanity by himself, no matter what you think. It will require more of us to shift.
Did you not hear his interview in which he actually calls the Palestinians pampered? I've lost all faith in him.
That is a serious misrepresentation of RFK's statement. What he was saying was that a lot of money goes to the support of Palestine, but instead of going to rebuilding infrastructure, it goes directly into the military coffers of Hamas. Hamas has zero interest in protecting the innocent civilians. If innocent civilians die, it's actually good for Hamas' business model.
That is an unsupported accusation. The "infrastructure" of Gaza was just fine. it is the fact that Israel controls everything that goes into Gaza, including water and electricity (no more than four hours a day), that they absolutely restrict everything about the lives of Gazans, including who can enter and who can leave, whether they can fish off their own coast or not, and even forbid them to surf on their own coast, how many "calories" a day can enter Gaza, etc. down to the most picayune restrictions. Then there is the fact that they bomb Gaza every two or three years just for the hell of it--it's called "mowing the lawn." And if the Gazans protest peacefully, then the IDF sits on the watchtowers along the wall they created and picks the protesters off one by one, or has contests to see how many kneecaps they can destroy. I am not making this up or deriving it from some crackpot source. It all comes from the Israeli press itself. And then there are the well-attested rapes of Palestinian women, the "administrative detention" whereby they can take people from their beds at night and hold them for years without trial or charge, beating, starving and raping them at will. Before 10/7 Israel was holding thousands of Palestinians this way. In other words, they were holding hostages. Yet if Hamas breaks out of the Gaza concentration camp and rebels violently in order to take hostages to exchange for Palestinian hostages (which they have a right to do under International Law) then this incident is denounced as if it were completely isolated and unprovoked. It is rich that you would say "Hamas has zero interest in protecting innocent civilians" as if Israel has no control itself over what it is doing to innocent civilians, or as if Hamas could somehow protect them from bunker buster bombs or white phosphorus. It is Israel who killed a third of the Israelis killed on 10/7, and Israel which has had no concern for its own citizens in Gaza. Hamas (which was founded and funded right up to the present day by Israel incidentally--Israeli officials admit it was created to act as a boogeyman for propaganda and strategic purposes) does not have a "business model" any more than any resistance group in any occupied country has a business model.
Love RFK Jr. Certainly have a untold respect for him.. What he is saying about Palestine is so way off the mark, and out of character, it has baffled many of his supporters. It is incongruous with his thoughts on Ukraine, and his talk about the military industrial complex. He is missing a vital part of the story... It only makes his supporters believe he is appeasing some of his big donors, like Bill Ackman
He does not want mossad to jfk his kids. And he believes mossad is his buddy
Right....
Oil
Probably...oil = money = control
This all may be true about Hamas abusing funds. But on the world stage you can't go around saying, at a time when the Palestinians are being subjected to a slaughter, that they are the most pampered people in the world
"...true about Hamas abusing funds..."
...
Old Israel propaganda. For de bunking links, see Jeremy R. Hammond's Dec 7th website blog post "Correcting RFK Jr.... and look at my. comments.
I think his comments need to be taken in context of what he was saying. listen at the 25 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LWHZDO7tgE
I think you should listen to the whole segment again. He's pretty clear in the point he is making. RFK doesn't defend the excesses of Netanyahu either. He's just a realist, and understands a military response to the problem of Hamas.
I should hope so. But again, to call people who are being slaughtered in fromt of the whole world, "pampered" comes across as incredibly out of touch and callous, and is not what a realist would say..
Context matters.
Who exactly is Hamas and how do we know that financial drain isn’t supported by Israel as pretext for genocide.
Bibi mossad created isil and hamas
Keep digging. They were created by Israel. Why?
That is what yall said about donald and vladimir and defended pedo zelenskt xiden baracks
I guess if we cant watch the interview ourselves it's a matter of he said, she said, he said, and subsequent interpretation. Exact and specific quotes in context are most helpful. Plus, who knows what lies he himself may have been subjected to that he now believes.
Yes, he pampered charge really got to me.
Ending forever wars except if Israel is the one conducting one.
The master race is special goyim
Despite our past ideals regarding the character of the USA, it is easy to understand how the satanic Isrealhell FAKE "Jew"/jewsurist zionazi world fascists have been able to control RFK, Jr. simply by mentioning what they did to his father, RFK, and his uncle, JFK. Those satanic zionazis control the entire political structure and everyone in it, and thereby further control the lives of all obedient sheeple who still support their own continued enslavement by participating in that system.
Jeffrey, are you aware that your response is a clear example of anti-Semitic belief?
Have you researched the origins of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - a propaganda piece originally created in Russia which was used by Hitler to create enemies of all the Jews? It is the same propaganda has been used by Hamas in support of their vow to destroy Israel. It is the fabricated idea that Jews rule the world and engage in human/child sacrifice and blood libel (drinking blood) and is COMPLETELY fabricated for purposes of political power at the expense of the Jewish people…. That was true in WWII and sadly continues to be true today.
Beware of leaders who tell you we can achieve peace if we simply eliminate the evil people. As Charles points out, that only leads to greater calamity and war.
The message from Charles is to step out of the instinct to label people - including Zionist Jews - as enemies - and to seek peace.
I'm here to thank you Katrina for your patient and thoughtful response. 100% what you just said.
Do you notice: Everything these DEMONICALLY braintrashed minions say is a plagiarized JOKE --- though unfortunately very soullessly destructive.
I had already earlier responded to a long, patient, lucidly intelligent response by another author... and now ila rose copies my words and sentiment in her response to anirtaK, whose letter was not at all an expression of genuine intelligence, thoughtfulness, or patience!
It is so very sad when soulless, braintrashed, arrogant Reptilican demon-controlled megalomaniacs ("God's chosen," riiiiight?!) continue charading, parading, and masquerading as if they have attained consciously intelligent human-hood WHILE their Isrealhell government, AFTER HAVING STAGED A FALSE FLAG/INSIDE JOB/IDF STAND-DOWN event on October 7th coordinated with Hamas --- Hamas who is created and funded by scheming lying satanic Isrealhell, who is long known for creating and using controlled oppositional entities, so they can use the corporate prostituted FauxNewsmedia outlets under their ownership & control, to fraudulently fearporn and propagandize into mutually stupid deadly conflict the populations of the nations/republics which they seek to bring entirely under their control --- selling armaments and weapons systems of their own demonic creation to ALL SIDES in the conflicts.
War is Satan's roasting and feasting on ignorant souls. War is the combination of the worst of all satanic and (sub)human criminality combined into one sordid soul-scorching, frenzied extravaganza.
THIS is how and why the demonic Satanyahu and his demonic Isrealhell cronies in the Knesset/Mossad had premeditatively planned and carried out the October 7 FALSE FLAG/INSIDE JOB event: as the (utterly anti-rational) justification/excuse to obliterate their hosts in the Palestinians' homeland.
GET A HANDLE ON THIS; THIS IS WHAT SATAN LOOKS LIKE, TALKS LIKE, WALKS LIKE; THIS is how the satanically deranged falsify, murder, and steal from their neighbors... and real, orthodox, TORAH-aligned Jews detest the satanic zionazis for impugning their name by these satanic behaviors.
u sound emotional, which is good. Means you are not ai bot or mossad agent, most likely.
I suspect there are a few individuals in Israel that are trying to destroy Israel as well as Palestine. Such actions could be considered Anti-Semitic. Protesting genocide or speaking angry upset words against genocide and genocidal policies is NOT Anti-Semitic. His words are not bullets and bombs. It's a twisted world with twisted meanings.
Did u know epstein adrenochrome and mossad is real? Cause they are all israel
really not interested in following recycled QAnon theories, nor am I interested in Anti-Semitic remarks driven by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (re-popularized and renamed by QAnon) like the one you are making here.
I am interested in an effective and efficient pathway to peace, with is why I appreciate Charles’ writings.
How do we co-create a world in which we stop labeling others as “evil” and pretending we can create peace by eliminating them?
Dear anirtaK (you folks habitually invert everything, so ...) I am NOT among the herd of idiot-sheeple who swallowed the Q/Trumpery psych-Op. I do not even play nor participate in the stupid satanic bread-and-circus diversion charade of the so-called "representative democratic" satanic political structure, which is rife with falsehood, competition, corruption, greed.
In other words, from your cramped, ignorant view, you simply cannot accurately view me nor accurately interpret anything that I communicate. The falsifying, murdering, satanic zionazi braintrashing culture is perhaps the purest contemporary example of collective satanic insanity in action, as it acts out its collective perverted inversion of the principles of existence.
This is the nature of separative egocentric ignorant projection and cognitive dissonance.
The construct of the satanic, lying ADL's utterly deceitful, inverted bullshit RUSE/PLOY of crying out "You're Anti-semitic!" is, and always has been a complete crock of shit bluff, which has played a large role in eliminating our capacity to obtain any truth from mainstream corporate prostituted FauxNewsmedia outlets. Many people have kowtowed to the "anti-Semitic!" bluff and bullying, but come on, you cannot keep playing the same worn-out old bullshit ploy over and over before the reality of the bullshit has become apparent to EVERYONE. There are numerous points to be made which confirm this fact, but I will begin by clarifying this next point to you regarding myself, my character, my mind, and my soul intention --- because, between you and I, I am the one who is an authority on myself --- and unless it is your intent to continue making a lying fool/idiot of yourself and your braintrashed mental/emotional spewage, you have no place trying to tell me who or what I am.
My truest, PRIMARY identity is the same pure timeless, birthless/deathless formless universal all-pervasive awareness that is the source-essence of ALL. That is, once in an NDE, I was directly shown that my truth of being is not primarily the physical humanoid form; this humanoid form is but a temporary vessel for earthly experience. Perhaps you, too, will soon likewise be graced with the experience of discovery that your true identity is One with ALL; thus enabling you to realize that as you murder your divine siblings, you murder yourself. With all the other optional creative, life-expanding ideations available to us in an infinite conscious universe, it is egregiously sad to view the rotten fruits of rotten separative egocentric ideation that your braintrashed, bewildered, abused, gaslighted, traumatized culture continues recycling, instead of praying for release from the endlessly reiterated ideations and expressions of satanically delusional murderous insanity.
And to think: the problem of your dense demonic delusional entrapment could be immediately resolved... if you had at your command the intelligence of a bright five-year-old child.
Why should any of us wish to be interested in your cianon conspiracy theories? They have been proven to be false psy ops and not very good ones at that
When you are the evil baddie you preach we should fight, you can start with the cia mossad that slaughtered americans and blamed it on isil ayrabs
You can pretend to fight evil by labeling it as anti semitic. Look in a mirror then.

You must be yet another deeply braintrashed khaz-Aryan mafia (NOT Semitic), lying, thieving, murderous FAKE-ASS "Jew"/jewsurist.
Nobody needs any 'Protocols of the elders of Zion' to OBSERVE the genocidally murderous, lying, deceitful methods utilized by the IDOLATROUS fake-jew anti-Torah, anti-christ, anti-christian, anti-muslim, anti-truth, anti-peace, anti-gentile, anti-"goyim" worshipers of the 6-pointed star of the demon Remphan --- an ancient deranged worship based on murdering living beings as a sacrifice to your demonic "gods" of Ba'al/Mammon/Moloch/Remphan.
In other words you deranged, degraded humanoid subhumans are projecting your own debilitating fears onto all others; YOU ARE NOT SEMITIC JEWS.
Actually, YOU are the demonic, lying, primary racist anti-semitics projecting your ANTI-HUMAN ignorance on everyone else.
When you look in the mirror at yourself what do you see? You cannot see that that you are insane, deranged, perpetually lying genocidal thieves and murderers. You may be blindered by your own braintrashed insanity and FALSE EXISTENCE, but everyone else sees you clearly. Yours is the most fucked-up example of a humanoid culture driven to deranged insanity by your own traumatized ignorance.
It seems to me that there is no help for you until you become sufficiently intelligent, mature, and honest to realize that master teachers of awakened universal awareness appear continuously before you, and to all of us, to teach us the Way of sanity, balance, truthfulness, honesty, awareness, righteousness... yet you merely murder/sacrifice these saviors of truth and liberation to your deranged demonic FAKE "Gods."
You are not yet sufficiently evolved to discern heaven from hell, up from down, truth from falsehood, life from death; your cerebral interpretive structure has apparently degraded due to your despicable, depraved interpretations of life and existence.
You need only the intelligence of a bright five-year-old child to comprehend that as you treat others, so shall you be treated; the seeds that you plant represent the harvest that you will reap, and heap upon yourselves.
By our seeds, roots, shoots, and fruits are we each recognized and known. Your seeds and roots and fruits are those of separation, sacrifice, falsehood, fear, and death. Live by the sword, guns, falsehoods/lies, and thereby effect your own speedy demise. Five-year-old children can understand this SIMPLE, mutually uplifting, mutually liberating principle... but the demonic control over your soul-heart-mind keeps you blindered in darkness so that you cannot see the TRUTH OF ONE which sets us all FREE from enslavement to demonic ignorance/darkness, mutual destruction, hell.
It seems that people are misunderstanding RFK's stance on Israel/Palestine. He is too thoughtful, intelligent and loving to have intended to say what is being attributed to him. He is the world's best hope right now, so I would encourage those who are newly disappointed in him to take another look at what he said. This middle east situation is so complex that it's very easy to read into anyone's opinions something that is not there.
At this stage there is little in this world for which I would lay my head on a block. But Charles a troll? no come on, that's ludicrous.
I too love RFK and am rooting for him all the way. That doesn't stop me struggling to understand his stance on this particular issue. That doesn't mean I am attacking him. What's more is that he would be the first to acknowledge my right to disagree.
To me it appears something about this has touched a nerve with RFK. As mature, compassionate people the best we can do is try to understand what is going on for him.
It IS a mystery and out of character from someone who has a history of standing up to bullies. So what gives? I can't say I know. I've read many theories. Not sure what to think. But these things I know:
1. The true story of what is happening over there is censored from the public internationally, but it is EXTREMELY bad in the USA and ISRAEL. Journalists have been killed for attempting to get the truth out. MANY JOURNALISTS. So, if it is that bad for the publics in these places, who get fed a steady stream of lies by Hollywood and the mainstream media, what do you think it is like for the politicians who diet on that b....crap from the Lobbyists 24-7?
2. It is the most Herculean task to try to teach someone something they consider they already know all about (no matter how wrong they may be). They simply will not look, as they feel they have no need. Add that to a very sophisticated censor system and its even harder.
3. Blackmail has been a common practice in politics since the beginning of time. When Meyer and the mafia got into politics, what a circus! Epstein could certainly have delivered several seminars on the subject. Are politicians afraid Israel will use its nukes if pushed? JFK apparently did some pushing in the area of Israel and Nukes before his murder.
4. Who knows? Until we know, we can only speculate with a greater or lesser degree of success. It could even get as crazy as has he been cloned? A double? Foiled? But then we have to admit that "HITMAN" , "VANTAGE POINT" and "THE ISLAND" are just movies after all. Just because a Chinese scientist managed to clone a human successfully doesn't mean everyone's doing it now. Plus, Biden looks pretty good for his age, despite having numerous vaccines, cases of Covid and new FANGled treatments. He definitely looks different to me though when he IS seen publicly.
Here is most of the truth https://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2014/09/14/israel-is-the-problem/
I don't think Beth meant that Charles Eisenstein was a troll. She was talking about Joseph Tomlinson.
It seems there may be some confusion – my comment was in response to Joseph Tomlinson's comment, not to Charles' wonderful, thought-provoking essay.
Also, I agree with David's comment, “It seems that people are misunderstanding RFK's stance on Israel/Palestine. He is too thoughtful, intelligent and loving to have intended to say what is being attributed to him. He is the world's best hope right now, so I would encourage those who are newly disappointed in him to take another look at what he said. This middle east situation is so complex that it's very easy to read into anyone's opinions something that is not there.”
So true. We must be careful to discern and guard against the army of smear-mongerers that have been deployed to spread doubt and falsehoods and misconstrued opinions about RFK.
RFK has the historical knowledge and wherewithal to carry out his promises: to re-build the gutted middle class; get corrupt corporate influence out of government so our agencies protect the public rather than enriching corporations; breathe new life into the dying American Dream with new housing and low-interest loans for young people to be able to get their foot in the door of home ownership; fix immigration by stopping the flood of illegals, sealing the border and facilitating an appropriate level of lawful, orderly immigration; and end the forever wars and have no new wars on his watch. Just consider that last one. It's the epitome of being a peace candidate. That alone would stem the current siphoning of America's wealth that's now funding wars and bioweapons and enable us to fix our crumbling infrastructure, reduce chronic disease in children and adults, clean up the toxic food supply and environment, invest in jobs and education, and more.
I was his biggest fan and contributor until he spouted his ignorant a-historical unethical Israel nonsense. The trouble is that it is not an independent issue--it affects his whole platform and makes everything he has said he believes nonsense. If he can't research this issue, how can we believe his research on any issue? if he can be interviewed and produce vomitus like "Palestinians are the most pampered people on earth," "Israel is not an apartheid state," "Israel does not target civilians," and "Israel has a right to defend itself," then he will lie about anything. He is not an honest actor. And of course, it shows he is NOT an anti-forever-wars candidate. He is just as much of a fraud as Bernie Sanders was and is.
And americas path back to moral leadership begins with reigning its Middle East murder squad in.
I think you got the wrong man. You want the orange one.
We do not fear anyone. Mortals are easy to control and deceive
Nope.

"Sorry too busy whale-watching in Maui -- Palestinian who?
Oh, you mean those coddled interlopers?
Please support my campaign!"
RFK Jr.
Seriously! he's pretending that ethnic cleansing/ genocide is not taking place before his eyes. he's also pretending that Israel is not flattening gaza and making it uninhabitable and disease ridden, so that they can annex it when the palastinans are gone.
Oil
Thank you. The most hopeful light in all this darkness is that Israelis themselves are leading the opposition to this carnage, at least here in America. Tragic that RFK has failed his initial promise to bring people together for peace. He's become politically incoherent to me. Such a shame.
I was very encouraged by him when he first announced. I’m really not sure what to make of him now.
Movie aint over yet
Yes and Jimmy Carter was really JFK
agree, politically incoherent for sure and such a disappointment
He is merely a mortal. Not an illuminated master of descension magick
Charles, I appreciate your sentiments here but you need to get your facts straight. Hamas killed a maximum of 115 civilians on Oct 7, the IDF killed a minimum of 120. The IDF blocked the road a half-mile from the rave parking area so no one could get out. The damage done to cars, with people in them, couldn't have been done by Hamas. They just didn't have weapons capable of it. It could only have been done by incendiary bombs dropped by the IDF. There are many, many more details to corroborate these facts, which would be useful for RFK to know. Here are a couple of my articles talking about it, with many links: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/yuval-bibi-and-maajid and https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/profiteering-and-propaganda-israelhamas.
It doesn't matter whether it was 1200 or 120. What matters is that the attacks are being used as a justification for a program of vengeance and violence and domination. If we debate about the numbers, we are having the wrong conversation.
It doesn't matter indeed whether it was 1200 or 120, however what matters here is the way you put it, that "Hamas conducted a merciless terrorist attack on Israel, killing 1200 people".
With this you are quoting verbatim the main propaganda piece that is used as justification of/for the the subsequent genocidal bombing of Gaza.
I find it regretful that you virtually spoil your own beautiful expression of hope for a miracle with this propaganda quote.
As long as this 'terrorist attack' sentiment is kept alive, there is no chance of a miracle to happen which you kind of concede above: "the attacks are being used as a justification for a program of vengeance and violence and domination". Most likely that was the plan all along.
copying a comment I made elsewhere:
Let me put it this way. Even granting the premise put forth by Israel to justify its obliteration of Gaza and murder of 21,000 human beings (and counting), still it is a moral outrage. If we hinge the argument on the number killed by Hamas, then we imply that if the Israeli account of the attacks is correct, their actions are justifiable. That is why I don't want to get hung up on the numbers. Although I believe that the deeper we dig down, the more lies we will find. But I have written this piece to be accessible to people who haven't swallowed the entire red pill.
Charles, my point was that anytime the largely made-up propaganda piece that Hamas conducted a "merciless terrorist attack on Israel" is repeated/proliferated, we subtly contribute to the justification of Israel's actions.
"One person's terrorist is another ones freedom fighter", is very much applicable here.
I am aware that you "have written this piece to be accessible to people who haven't swallowed the entire red pill". Thanks for that.
The path is already beaten by eg Norman Finkelstein. If Hamas is terror. What is IOF? Looking forward to the full red pill follow-up 💊 in fact I’ll take it right here: Israel’s role is to bring the whole show down....
Daily we are getting new evidence about the events of Oct 7th, shifting the narrative from 'merciless Hamas terrorist attack' towards a more balanced assessment of who killed whom and did or did not what to whom. The jury is still out on it and may remain so for a long time.
As to "Israel’s role is to bring the whole show down..." obviously the show is crumbling significantly and Israel is playing a part in that, however isn't the saying that the show ain't over till the fat lady -aka USA- sings.?
This is all built on lies,lies and more lies. And you are repeating many of them. Truth matters. I thought you understood that. And violence against innocent people is never justifiable.
You are able to get better answers on this test than charles and rfk. X news?
How October 7th occurred, who instructed the Rave to move to that location from its original site in the south just days before the event. Moved all the military away from that area and then the most militarised watched border in the world didn’t see the break out etc. Who actually is to blame for the killed innocent is the same in different guises. Until you out them they will stop
Also, I want to add to the comment I made in the thread below, that we WEAKEN OUR MORAL ARGUMENT
oops, keyboard error. We weaken our moral argument if we hinge it on "Hamas's attack wasn't so bad after all." Terrible atrocities were committed by Hamas fighters. I have read and seen eyewitness testimony from ordinary people, survivors. The new narrative here is not "Those we have been told are the bad guys are actually the good guys, and vice versa." No. That whole way of thinking is the problem. If you base your argument for peace on saying that these eyewitnesses are liars and Hamas did not commit atrocious acts, you stand on shaky ground. My point is this: even if the attacks were every bit as bad as Israel says they were, still, murdering 20 times that number (and counting) is not going to accomplish anything but maintain the cycle of hate and create new victims, more war, less security for generations to come.
So, debunking propaganda, eg about mass rapes, severed breasts, microwaved babies etc is a waste of time?
Not at all. I think it is important. It isn't necessary for the particular argument I am making though.
