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.

This is actually what happened;

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.”

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.

Release the Files! Who were the clients? What did the search warrants find? Who mysteriously paid Epstein tons of money? What sexual assailants could be identified in videos Epstein had? How many different assailants were there? How big was the criminal conspiracy? What intel agency/country did Epstein work for and when?

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.”

This is Trump's GOP

It is the consensus of the world's leading human rights organizations that Israel is committing the crime of Genocide against Palestinians in Gaza

That consensus includes;

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, & the United Nations, along with many other credible organizations.

Netanyahu has an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for using starvation as a weapon as well as willfully directing attacks against civilians.

Anyone denying Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestinians is a modern day Holocaust denier. Don't be fooled by fake news and genocide apologia, Israel is absolutely, undeniably committing genocide.

War, death, and destruction are the Netanyahu legacy! Benjamin Netanyahu came to power by encouraging domestic extremists to assassinate his pro-peace predecessor.

Netanyahu vehemently opposed the 2 state solution and made clear that his goal was to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Netanyahu wanted to make sure that Israel had no partner for peace in Gaza so he propped up Hamas by helping fund them because he viewed Hamas as the most violent option to govern the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu wanted a constant threat against Israel for his own political ambitions and to divide up the Palestinians to prevent their recognition as a state.

According to Haaretz, Hamas did not know about the Nova Music Festival before the attack because it was prolonged an extra day at the last minute.

According to the NYT, Israeli Intelligence had detailed Hamas battle plans a year before the October 7th attack yet did not plan to stop it.

According to Business Insider. weeks before the Hamas attack of October 7th, Israel had the detailed Hamas battle plan sent to top military leadership to prepare for the attack.

Egyptian intelligence warned Israel of an imminent attack coming from within Gaza days before the attack.

US intelligence also knew a Hamas attack was imminent by October 5th and warned Israel.

The Israeli Shin-bet even had knowledge of abnormal Hamas activity the day before the attack and warned Israeli leadership of an imminent attack.

With detailed Hamas battle plans as well as knowledge of an imminent attack, the Israeli military moved over 100 troops away from the Southern border leaving their own citizens defenseless

Israeli leaders chose to extend the Nova Music Festival and not to put the border on high alert even after they knew that an attack was coming and they removed troops from the area.

Then when the Hamas attack began the Israeli military took hours to respond at all.

When the IDF did finally respond, they targeted their own citizens and soldiers with the Hannibal Directive.

Israeli tanks were ordered to shoot at homes knowing hostages were inside then over 2 dozen Israeli helicopters indiscriminately emptied their entire weapons payload, killing Hamas militants and Israeli civilians alike.

And October 7th came out of a brutal apartheid occupation enacted by Netanyahu’s

So the question is, why did the Netanyahu government facilitate the October 7th attacks?

I hope to see Israel one day become a partner for peace in the region.

Israeli society seems morally bankrupt and in severe need of a cultural reckoning; evidenced by religious fundamentalists in their gov't advocating to starve Palestinian civilians to death.

And Israeli civilian religious fundamentalists destroying truckloads of food meant to go to starving Palestinians.

Oh and also rioting in favor of freeing criminals guilty of gang raping Palestinian prisoners to death.

Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America in either party and he represents the values of the vast majority of Americans. Bernie is the moral and intellectual leader of the Democratic Party. There is a Deep State fighting against genuine political reform in America, but they couldn’t care less about Trump. The Deep State has been singularly focused on keeping Bernie Sanders out of power because he is the biggest threat to real corruption in America. Trump is a fraud; Bernie was always to real revolutionary reformer America needed and that is still true today.

As early as November 2023 it was clear as day that Joe Biden was making the political choice to sacrifice his re-election campaign in order to participate in genocide.

Every step along the way he chose to facilitate genocide when he had the opportunity and power to prevent one. I documented many of the evil choices he made in my post The Unforgivable Legacy of Genocide Joe, but the most evil thing Joe Biden is guilty of is starving children to death.

I posted this Note on Substack May 31st, 2024

"Every single American should watch this clip of a former State Department official with 20 years of experience who just resigned over the recent National Security Memorandum (NSM-20) issued by the Biden administration regarding Israel's compliance with international law throughout the Gaza conflict

The NSM-20 found that Israel is not blocking humanitarian assistance like food and water from the population of Gaza, who are now experiencing a famine according to the UN & World Food Program. But in this clip we learn that State Department subject matter experts, USAID, and on the ground US-aligned human rights organizations all agreed that Israel IS blocking aid.

youtu.be/V48vIcHTvbQ

But after all subject matter experts created a report confirming that Israel is blocking aid, that report got sent to higher ups for editing and review before release. The higher ups which could've been Biden, Blinken, or maybe 1 or 2 other people changed the findings of the subject matter experts to instead say Israel is not blocking aid.

That is incredibly significant because as Bernie Sanders pointed out;

“The Foreign Assistance Act makes clear; no US assistance may be provided to any country that “prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian aid.”"

That means the Biden administration knowingly put out a false report. The truth disqualifies Israel from receiving US financial or military support, so they lied to knowingly enable Israel's starvation of civilians.

That means Joe Biden knowingly participated in the siege of Gaza and when State Department experts told him it was starving kids to death he lied on purpose in order to keep doing it. Unfortunately the mainstream media covered up that reality so it took Al Jazeera and Democracy Now to report on Biden’s war crimes. This next Note was from July 14th, 2024

“This should be front page news in every mainstream media outlet in America

Stacy Gilbert resigned from the State Department because Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken lied in the NSM-20 report about Israel's use of starvation as a method of warfare. The opposite reality was 100% known to Biden & Blinken and they still lied anyway. Watch Stacy Gilbert herself describe the situation here;

youtu.be/V48vIcHTvbQ

Under US law, Israel has been disqualified from receiving US aid since October, meaning Biden is in violation of both US and international law for supporting the apartheid government of Israel while they are engaged in a starvation-based genocide in addition to widespread indiscriminate bombing

Thanks to Democracy Now and Al Jazeera for doing this absolutely vital journalism, I hope the rest of the media follows soon.”

If you think Joe Biden a good and honest man, please watch those 2 clips of his own former administration officials confirming his involvement in the planned starvation of 2 million people including many children. Bernie Sanders was giving speeches in Congress showing pictures of children who Biden helped starve begging Biden to give them food and Biden absolutely, unequivocally refused.

Image from Common Dreams.

More than anything else, genocide is Joe Biden’s legacy. Joe Biden chose to sacrifice everything else his administration stood for and consciously made the choice to hand over the White House to Trump in order to facilitate Netanyahu’s genocide of Palestinians. We should at least let Biden take credit for his number one priority while in office by solidifying his legacy forever as Genocide Joe!
