Most of the time we hairless apes spend our lives in a trance.
When you find yourself focusing obsessively on some issue, or you’re in a crappy mood and don’t know precisely why, or you find yourself rooting for murderous Zionists and their ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians, you are definitely in a trance.
“Trance,” of course, is an over-simplification.
Basically, it means your brain’s emotional centers are working overtime and “coloring” your thoughts and observations. Another term for this is “cognitive bias.” That is, your emotions and assumptions are subtly, or not so subtly, influencing what you think.
For example, Yours Truly hates and despises bullies.
That will never change. And his mostly inchoate rage only grows stronger and more focused as he learns more about how our lives and our very thoughts are structured, and how they have been programmed and manipulated by others.
Thus, he will never again support the racist, murderous state of Israel. Fuck those egregious, lying-ass, child-murdering bastards. If there really were a loving God, about now there would be a big, smoking hole where Israel once was.
The Devil’s rhetorical ire is aimed solely at Zionists promoting ethnic cleansing and does not extend to American Jewry insofar as it stays out of the genocidal mess Bibi and his goons have wrought. In other words, one assumes Zionist violence toward Palestinians is neither religious nor ethnic at base.
Instead, it is a horribly fascistic attempt to exterminate people because they’re deemed to be “in the way,” a traditional nationalistic annoyance. The religious aspect of this conflict is merely the fluffy, shit-flavored frosting on Israel’s putrescent birthday cake of mangled, rotted corpses: In other words, Israel is a nationalistic bully.
And what prompts nations to bully others?
Fear, of course. The Zionists have plenty to fear from the Palestinians, since the Zionists brazenly stole their land and have been periodically “mowing the lawn;” i.e., mass-murdering Palestinians on a regular basis for the past 70 years or so.
Also, nations are prompted to act immorally by greed. In this case, according to the United Nations:
Geologists and resources economists have confirmed that the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip, according to a recent UNCTAD study.
New discoveries of natural gas in the Levant Basin are in the range of 122 trillion cubic foot while recoverable oil is estimated at 1.7 billion barrels, according to the study, entitled “The Economic Cost of Occupation for the Palestinian People: The Unrealized Oil and Natural Gas Potential.”
This offers an opportunity to distribute and share about US$524 billion among the different parties in the region and promote peace and cooperation among old belligerents, the study notes.
Yeah, like sharing’s really gonna happen. How naïve.
Whatever the cause, excessive nationalism - be it Israeli, American, or even Luxembourgish - is a form of mental depravity manifesting not only in mass slaughter and utter disregard for humanity, but also in psychotic government leaders who consistently make global decisions through a distorted lens completely detached from reality. You know, like George W. Bush and his bogus drumbeat about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, or Bibi and his ultra-conservative corps of religiously delusional nincompoops claiming Israel is the victim here.
It’s too bad Bibi & Co.’s Zionist depravities have degraded people’s opinion of the ancient religion of Judaism, despite the fact Zionism and Judaism are separate and distinct. Judaism is all about the belief in one God, adherence to the Torah, and a rich cultural heritage and tradition - and happy Passover to you non-Zionist Jews out there, including all those demonstrating with the Palestinians on our college campuses!
By contrast, Zionism, like any form of nationalism, is all about the money, honey.
One might say The Devil is cognitively biased. But, damn, it feels like the right way to live one’s life - hating and despising Zionist murderers.
OK, sure. But why not hate the American pioneers and politicians who basically decimated the Native American population? Weren’t they a lot like today’s Zionists pushing out the Palestinians?
Yup. On many levels our ancestors sucked. But The Devil is not into wasting time on things he can’t change.
Actually, America is much worse than even its violent pioneer days indicate. Here’s a list of the nations the U.S. has bombed since the end of WWII, producing an estimated 200,000 to one-million needless civilian deaths. (It’s hard to arrive at a solid figure when the victims have been blasted to pieces):
China (1945-46)
Korea (1950-53)
Guatemala (1954, 1960, 1964)
Indonesia (1958)
Cuba (1959-60)
Belgian Congo (1964)
Dominican Republic (1965-66)
Peru (1965)
Laos (1964-73)
Vietnam (1961-73)
Cambodia (1969-70)
Lebanon (1982-84)
Grenada (1983-84)
Libya (1986, 1989)
El Salvador (1981-92)
Nicaragua (1981-90)
Iran (1987-88, 1998, 2020)
Panama (1989-90)
Iraq (1991)
Kuwait (1991)
Somalia (1992-94, 2011)
Bosnia (1995)
Sudan (1998)
Afghanistan (1998, 2001)
Yugoslavia (Serbia) (1999)
Libya (2011)
Iraq and Syria (2014)
Somalia (2011)
Clearly, the United States of America is a world leader when it comes to murdering innocent men, women and children. So why pick on the Zionists, who, despite their fresh-faced, enthusiastic attitude toward mass murder, are mere dilettanti when it comes to blasting people into bloody chunks and shards?
There are plenty of American military personnel who deserve punishment for their sins. However, Yours Truly is harping on Zionist mass murderers because they have gobbled up American taxpayer dollars yet refuse to do what we want - namely institute a humane, two-state solution.
The evil Zionists have been playing us for fools for decades, and there’s apparently nothing we helpless and humiliated American citizens can do about it. Other than to vote Progressive - and AIPAC has already cheerfully announced it’s spending millions to defeat Progressives in this election.
AIPAC is a blatant, unregulated “fixer” for Zionist Israel infesting the corridors of U.S. power like a poisonous mold. It is a dangerous, potentially lethal, threat to the American body politic. Especially now that the Christo-Fascists on the U.S. Supreme Court have made bribery legal. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 2010.
Zionists and Americans alike are mass-murderers. But from our point of view, Zionists are also disrespectful bullies, arrogant pricks and mostly just fucking fiscal parasites. So fuck ‘em.
And also fuck those insufferable Christo-Fascist Party (CFP) pricks, U.S. Sens. Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton.
These two steaming assholes this past week actually called on Slow Joe Biden to mobilize the National Guard to shield privileged and pampered Zionist American college students from the pro-Palestinian/anti-genocide demonstrations on American campuses. Oh how woefully, inconvenient, Muffy!
The whole college unrest thing seems very much like an Israeli government psy-op, doesn’t it? A handful of Zionists whine about a lame-ass threat, and the bought-and-paid-for mainstream media cover the shit out it while giving short shrift to the more than 30,000 dead in Palestine and the 77,000 injured? Great work, American journalism.
But back to the shameless pols and their Zionist dick licking:
Hawley and Cotton certainly know how to grovel and spread their stinking butt holes to please their mighty AIPAC money masters in furtherance of this latest and greatest Zionist mass-murder scheme.
On AIPAC’s behalf Hawley mewed and puked in a bullshit letter sent to Old Slow Joe:
“On college campuses across the United States, Jewish Americans are at risk. … In your statement on Passover, you stated that ‘in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews. This blatant antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous - and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country.’ Now you must take action to match those words.”
Hawley continued in typical, fascistic bullying fashion, “You must immediately mobilize the National Guard and any other authorities necessary to ensure the safety of Jewish American students and citizens. Sieg Heil!”
OK, there were no Nazi-isms involved.
Hawley’s idiotic justification for treating Zionist students who feel “threatened” as if they’re some sort of fancy, protected class of junior fat cats, instead of the cowardly, thoughtlessly bigoted wussies some of them are, is truly off the scale when it comes to racist stupidity:
He referenced President Eisenhower’s 1957 Executive Order 10730, which deployed the Arkansas National Guard and 101st Airborne Division to ensure the safety of black students attending Central High School in Little Rock.
Yeah, that’s the ticket: The pampered, idiotic Zionist students on American college campuses are just like viciously oppressed black Americans. Better call in the paratroopers, Bubba!
Right.
Clearly, Hawley and the other Christo-Fascist Party members (formerly Republican) are Hypnotized Zombies for Zionism.
Perhaps it’s not that serious, perhaps they’re just enraptured by all that money AIPAC and other pro-Israeli cabals are now frantically shoveling to corrupt American politicians. You know, like those other apes, the hairy variety, are enraptured by bright, shiny trinkets.
Whatever the explanation, it’s high time these duly elected American Sluts for Zionism are snapped out of their drooling, mouth-breathing trances.
Preferably by pissed-off citizens swinging All-American Louisville Sluggers.
