Speaking of things that actually are important and are not likely to be psy-ops, has anyone in the Kennedy campaign talked to RFK honestly about his platform on Israel? He really needs to tone down his rah rah attitude about it. Sure Israel is our ally (unless they don't feel like it that day), and we give them a shit ton of money, more than we give any poor nation, but I don't think it does his candidacy any good to play down the horrific way they treat the Palestinians OR the actual history of Israel,, the Nabka, Zionism, etc. RFK's attitude toward Israel/Palestine seems to be stuck somewhere in the 1970s, and he seems totally unaware that Palestinians have no rights, that they can be shot on the spot for no reason without consequences for the shooter, that their houses that they have lived in for generations can be seized and given to Israeli settlers, that the olive trees upon which they depend can be blown up just for fun. He doesn't seem to know that almost all Palestinians treated this way are not engaged in anything illegal, and that Israeli politicians routinely refer to them as sub-human. In other words, the Israelis have become just exactly like the people who killed 6 million of them in the 1940s. Furthermore, the Israelis routinely try to control the US with Mossad agents like Epstein who collect info on the elite so they can be blackmailed. Now I am fully aware that RFK is thinking of the American Jewish electorate whose votes he needs, but surely he is aware that about 80% of US Jews these days lean liberal and do not consider themselves Zionists. In this too, he seems to be stuck in the 1970s with a US population who at that time had a very simplistic idea of Israel as "good guys" and Palestinians as "terrorists." The attitude of the world and the US population toward Israel has changed, due to the bad behavior of the Israeli government and many Israeli soldiers and citizens. I am a big fan of RFK, but he needs to develop some nuance in his Israel platform; he has alienated many on the actual left with his blinkered, simplistic, fawning attitude toward Israel, and it is especially odd because he has such deep and broad knowledge about so many other things, and is so awake to immorality and corruption.

Pretty clear that lots of stuff not explainable by our normal secular understanding of the universe has occurred for millennia. Not surprising that folks with vested financial interests in "they are out there", keep finding evidence that "they are out there." Just like religious powers publicized supernatural miracles and visitations in ways that just happened to be in line with their priorities.

I am open and awed by the unimaginable strangeness and beauty of creation. Sceptical of those selling me their interpretations of it.
