    Netanyahu's Role in October 7th

    October 7th was as close to a false flag attack as Israel could get without doing the whole thing themselves * The IDF possessed detailed Hamas battle plans a year before the attack, sent to many top IDF leaders by September 2023. * 10 days before the attack Egyptian intelligence warned Israel of an imminent attack coming from Gaza. * US intel warned Israel of an imminent attack a week before it happened. * And the Israeli Shin-bet warned IDF leadership of a mass Hamas mobilization on October 6th. * So what did Israel do to prepare for the attack they had detailed plans of and knew was coming? * The IDF Moved over 100 troops away from the Southern border of Gaza to the West Bank, * They did not raise the alert level to put get the military prepared, * And they extended the Nova Music Festival an extra day at the last minute against on the ground IDF warnings. So Israeli leaders knew the attack was coming, knew exactly what the attack would look like, and chose to not prepare at all. IDF leadership even chose to put the music festival in between them and Hamas knowing the attack was coming. * Then after the October 7th attack began, in repeated strafing runs, IDF apache helicopters unloaded 28 full weapons payloads on the Nova Music Festival. * After being ordered to shoot on Israeli civilians, IDF tanks opened fire on the Kibbutz * Then long after the IDF enabled October 7th then joined into the attack on Israeli civilians, they eventually started fighting Hamas too. * Then Israeli religious fundamentalists started going around making false claims about beheaded babies and babies in ovens and mass rape. None of that happened but the lies spread around the world without any skepticism or critical assessment of the evidence.

    It's Time to Impeach Trump

    We are on the path to bring back the very tyranny our founders fought the Revolutionary War to rid the United States of America of for good. Trump and his MAGA cult are destroying the right to due process, the right to not be subjected to unreasonable search and seizure, and the right to free speech. And Donald Trump has been taking many bribes while President. Trump’s corruption makes the Hunter Biden scandal look innocent and frivolous in comparison, but the Trump cult doesn’t care about Trump’s long history of bribery nor his attacks on the rights of American citizens. Trump violated his oath of office while taking bribes and levying war against the United States. He deserves to be impeached right now! “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution Democrats should unite as a party on 2 impeachment charges for Donald Trump; * “Treason: Levying War Against the United States Through Domestic Militarization. In his conduct while President, Donald J. Trump violated his constitutional oath by levying war against the United States, through overt acts including: * Addressing U.S. military leaders…at Quantico to declare a “war from within” against “enemies within” American cities, directing the armed forces to treat U.S. soil as “training grounds.” * Deploying ICE agents via Black Hawk helicopters to raid a Chicago apartment complex…detaining…American citizens and residents without due process under false migrant charges… * Systematically eroding the Fifth Amendment by expanding expedited removals, leading to the deportation of U.S. citizens on fabricated grounds. These acts assembled federal forces against the people, constituting war on the constitutional order and betraying the Republic. * Bribery: Through Acceptance of Foreign Emoluments and Quid Pro Quo Transactions In his conduct while President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, engaged in a pattern of bribery by soliciting, accepting, and concealing benefits from foreign governments and officials in exchange for official acts, including but not limited to: * Directing… payments from foreign governments (e.g., China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) to Trump Organization properties during his first term, while shielding donors from sanctions and approving arms deals, in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. * Facilitating Jared Kushner’s $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund in exchange for Middle East policy favors, including arms sales and post-murder cover-ups. * Accepting a $400 million Boeing 747 jet from Qatar in 2025, with post-presidency transfer to his library, amid security guarantees and real estate partnerships worth $5.5 billion. * Profiting billions from World Liberty Financial cryptocurrency sales to foreign entities (e.g., UAE’s $2 billion, Justin Sun’s $75 million), followed by policy concessions like AI chip exports and SEC case pauses. These acts corrupted U.S. foreign policy, undermined national security, and abused the pardon and regulatory powers for personal gain, betraying the trust of the American people.” -Grok Philosophical Rebellion is a reader-supported publication.

In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such a twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air – however slight – lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness” -William O Douglas This is a public episode.

    Israel's Genocide of Gaza

    It is shocking to me what lessons were learned after what the Nazis did to Jewish people during the Holocaust in World War II. Because I learned the lesson of never again, meaning never again should any group of people be so dehumanized and vilified that their extermination is justified and acted on by the people in power. Never again should the world stand idly by while an entire people are being eradicated. And that is exactly what is happening in Gaza right now. Benjamin Netanyahu is the modern-day Adolf Hitler because he is enacting an extermination campaign. Benjamin Netanyahu's final solution for Palestinians is their starvation, which he is carrying out right now. So, never again is happening now, and Benjamin Netanyahu is criminally responsible for doing it. But that's what's so shocking about the conversations I've been having on Substack. Because one of the things that has been pointed out to me is that many Jewish Israelis do not think that never again applies to non-Jews or the crime of extermination. Their sense of never again is never again should Jewish people be the victims of crimes against humanity. They're perfectly fine with Jewish Israelis being the perpetrators of a genocide and that does not fall under the umbrella of never again to them. So a lot of times we're using the same words, but we don't mean the same thing. When I say never again, I think never again should people like Palestinians be mass murdered by war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu. Never again should innocent civilians be deliberately attacked in widespread bombings and shootings and starvation campaigns. But it is very easy to get inundated with a bunch of fake news justifying what Israel is doing and lying about the circumstances of the famine in Gaza, the bombings, the causes, and all of that. Israeli religious fundamentalists are starving children to death on purpose and they are proud of it. They are bragging about getting away with it because they think it is “Moral” to starve babies to death. Israel’s leaders are insane, enabled by a religious fundamentalist society that cheers on this depravity. Zionist religious fundamentalists riot at food trucks sent from abroad to the starving people of Gaza to block their entry. When the starving people of Gaza try to go fishing in the ocean, Israeli navy boats fire on the fishermen to end their lives and sink their boats. Israel effectively shut down the sea to the hungry Palestinians. Israel wants all food in Gaza to be dependent on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, their propaganda front. The GHF took over all food distribution from all human rights groups in Gaza. Hundreds of distribution sites were reduced down to 4; it is meant as a media justification to kick out real human aid groups which had been feeding the people of Gaza so Israel could starve them while claiming they weren’t. “Everyone should look up and listen to Anthony Aguilar who is an American Army Green Beret Veteran who resigned from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to become a whistleblower after serving in Gaza at the aid sites. He has been going around explaining exactly how the GHF is enabling the mass starvation of Gaza. The GHF set up aid distribution sites in active combat zones miles away from where the closest civilian population is located. They are serving a small slice of Gaza while most people live further north with absolutely no food allowed in there. More than that, for the people that do go to GHF sites they are deliberately shot at by snipers and tanks for veering slightly off track. They may accidently be shot at indiscriminately as a means of crowd control too. The food being provided are things like lentils which need to be cooked before eating while the GHF does not provide any water at all. And it is on a first come first serve basis with many making the long trek to go home empty handed. I cannot stress enough the importance of what Anthony Aguilar is exposing. As an army veteran he knows what war zones look like. As a Green Beret with 12 former combat deployments he has seen real combat situations against legitimate threats. And as a human, he strikes me as someone who is honest and morally upstanding speaking an uncomfortable truth because of his sense of duty. Please listen to what he has to say. Spread the word far and wide.” Mike Huckabee is a genocidal war criminal deserving of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for his complicity in the starvation of Gaza.

    Trump's Sexual Assaults & Zohran Mamdani's Socialism

    To read about Trump’s long history of sexual assault and snooping on girls changing, check out “Why I’d Never Vote for Trump” on my Substack Check out the New York Times Investigation into Trump’s wealth; “Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate empire, starting when he was a toddler and continuing to this day… By age 3, Mr. Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after Mr. Trump graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s.” And for the history of American Socialism I discuss, check out my posts; * Adam Smith & the Origin of Capitalism * Theodore Roosevelt’s New Nationalism * American Capitalism * Working-Class Capitalism * America's Redistribution of Wealth I go in depth on the economic philosophy of the American Labor Movement.
