Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad of the Nation of Islam Research Group (NOIRG) discusses his forthcoming article “Does Israel Want the Gaza Strip?” We’ll also discuss The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s “The Genocide of Palestinians: A Test for The Whole Human Family” as well as issues raised in NOIRG’s March 4 article “How the Synagogue of Satan Became Israel: From Sugar to Cotton to Oil.”
Excerpt:
I basically emailed you and a couple other contacts at the Nation of Islam, questioning, “where's the Honorable Minister? We need his eloquence now more than ever. And then, lo and behold, at Savior's Day, he came through.
Well, the thing is, if you heard his speech...
I haven't heard it. I read the article.
Oh, man, you’ve got to hear it, because he was told...He said he got a message through someone from the Savior telling him to be quiet. So he was already being quiet, and so he decided to be even quieter and not say anything about anything on an international basis until he gave his speech. And what he said was so profound and earth-shattering because he just went into Netanyahu straight up and no backing off.
And that article that I wrote that you read, you'll see that Israel has been planning to do this for a long time because they want Gaza. They have a canal, the Ben Gurion Canal, that they'v been planning on since the late 60s, right after NASA nationalized the Suez Canal in 1956, where they've been planning another canal from the late 60s to get around the Suez Canal.
As you know, they got this trade route established from China over Israel into Palestine. And so now we know what they were up to because of that canal and the trillions of gallons of gas, cubic feet of natural gas and gallons of gas that right off the Gaza Strip, supposedly owned by the Gazans, but Netanyahu has prevented them from utilizing it, even though it's been known since 1999. Netanyahu has been instrumental in keeping the Palestinians from utilizing their natural resources.
And you remember, my brother, because you was on the panel when we dealt with 9-1-1 for Savior's Day. What year was that?
Oh, man, that was, I'm just thinking back, maybe 2017, 18, something like that.
Right. And then wasn’t it brought out that Netanyahu was on a regular basis talking to Giuliani when he was the mayor right around 9-1-1?
Well, I think what I remember talking about was that Netanyahu was getting on the phone with Larry Silverstein, the notorious landlord of two months who bought out the World Trade Center two months before 9-11, doubled the terror insurance, and then skipped breakfast on 9/11. He was always at the Windows of the World restaurant on top of the North Tower every day except that day. And then he unconvincingly said his wife reminded him, tapped him on the shoulder as he was walking out to breakfast and said, you have a dermatologist appointment.
Larry Silverstein then went to court and claimed double indemnity on the basis of two completely separate and unrelated terror attacks, namely the two planes. And he got his double indemnity insurance settlement, walking off with nearly $6 billion. And he'd only put down maybe 15 million max of his own money, and another 100 million of his friends’.
So that was the best investment ever made. It would have been the worst investment ever made if 9/11 hadn't happened, because the Twin Towers were outmoded, they didn't have communications infrastructure, and they were riddled with asbestos, and a court had ordered that asbestos taken out would have cost double-digit billions, quite likely.
So, yeah, Silverstein, the guy who confessed to demolishing Building 7 on a PBS documentary, America Rebuilds. He was on the phone every weekend with Netanyahu, according to Haaretz, the best newspaper in Israel. So, yeah, I think I remember talking about that. And Christopher Bollyn, who also spoke at that wonderful event, might have mentioned it, too.
Right. So, look, it all goes full circle now. Now we have Netanyahu in the middle of a turn. You know, you heard turn your other cheek. How about just look away and go in the wrong direction? You remember when they scrambled the jets on 9-1-1, they went in the wrong direction. They went over the ocean.
It's the same thing that happened with Hamas. Israel actually sells surveillance equipment to the rest of the world, based upon how well they're able to monitor and track and keep up with every Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank. They sell this to the rest of the world, and you're going to tell me on October 7th they just didn't see it?
But, you know, The New York Times is bringing out articles about the fact that Netanyahu and the rest of them were warned that this was going to happen at least a year in advance. But yet they chose not to be in place to protect their people at that time because they wanted the excuse to destroy Gaza. So they made the excuse.
They made Hamas. They got Qatar to fund Hamas. Hamas was not funded by Iran. It was funded by Qatar and Israel. And the weaponry, according to the New York Times article, the bombs that were shot into Israel came from Israel. They say that in previous Israeli wars with Palestinians, some of the missiles did not explode. So the Palestinians picked up the bombs and shot them over the wall. But they had tags on them “made in America.” It’s part of that 3.8 billion dollars a year, supposedly for protection, but actually used for aggression, feeding a straw man that they can take down.
And they used that as the excuse why they're murdering all the Gazans so they can take their land and take the oil and the natural gas and then run a canal right through it so that they will not have to go through the Suez Canal that's owned and controlled by Egypt.

Meanwhile…Charles Upton needs our help. He writes:
Dear friends,
Greetings of peace. I must now report that I was recently diagnosed with a fairly early stage of colon cancer. This has not come at a good time in my life because my wife Jenny and I are also facing serious economic difficulties; due to fluctuations in the bond market our investments stopped paying nearly 2 years ago, so we have been living mostly on our savings. I am also in need of extensive dental work that I can’t afford, plus some necessary home repairs, etc. etc., but it was the cancer that finally convinced me that I needed to ask for help. So I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign, which you can donate to through https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-charles-upton-survive-colon-cancer People living outside the United States who want to donate can use a major credit or debit card. Select the amount in USD; you will be charged the equivalent your own currency. GoFundMe does not charge any conversion fees, though your own bank might.
After a colonoscopy discovered the tumor I was sent for follow-up to a colorectal surgeon who turned out to be rather crazy so I made no follow-up appointment. Around the same time I heard of an M.D. in a nearby town Dr. James Roach who practices world-class integrative medicine. When I consulted him he devised a regimen for me that includes a large number of herbs and supplements though his main therapeutic agent is artemisia annua (see https://www.oncology.news/2018-10-31-sweet-wormwood-powerful-alternative-to-chemotherapy.html ). I took all these events as signs that I should avoid having a large percentage of my colon surgically removed at least for now since at the age of 75 I would certainly risk ending my effective life through such an operation would likely no longer be able to take care of my wife Jenny whose health is also frail—and we might well lose our house. I also consulted with a more conventional physician at the Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky in my home town of Lexington who said: “Officially I have to recommend that you have the operation nonetheless we are well aware of Dr. Roach’s interesting work some of us at the Center have consulted him ourselves. And we are presently doing a study of artemisia annua.”
My problem is that the major elements of Dr. Roach’s regimen by my calculation would cost $8916.96 out of pocket for one year. (If, after that year, I see no improvement, I will considering more conventional therapy.) Some of these supplements I can probably get from cheaper sources than the company he uses but prices could go up and new supplements will apparently be prescribed in the future so I will stay with that figure. And in view of other expenses we face I’ve decided to set my GoFundMe goal at $35000.
I’ve come to the conclusion that doing what I need to let God purge me from the spiritual impurities that lie behind my disease is exactly the same thing I need to do to get ready for a good death. As for which way it will go, that’s in His hands. Nonetheless I am convinced that I still have some useful things to say in view of the darkness of the times, which I have dealt with in many of my videos and books, so for me to let myself die now out of pure neglect looks to me like a willful refusal of the gifts I am being given, gifts that I am apparently supposed to pass on to others. So if you want to make it easier on me, I hope you will let me express my gratitude by using my talents as a writer or a networker to serve any needs that may present themselves to you.
I’ve also produced a YouTube video as part of my outreach; you can view it at:

Excerpt from our 2014 interview (podcast reposted above) on Charles’s book Vectors of the Counter-Initiation (which resonates with yesterday’s post on “Redemption Through Genocide”)
Evangelical Christians you know have a certain sense of eschatology and these being the end times and the forces that are working against true religion, but they have a very narrow view of that, and a very literalistic view of that, which is valuable up to a point, but then not. And the Orthodox Christians have a critique of the traditional Catholics. They say they don’t even count as Catholics. And the Catholics who think the popes haven't been valid since Pius XII have a critique. And what I wanted to do, from the standpoint of the perennialist or the traditionalist, is to accept that all world religions—not everything that calls itself a religion, but all the major world religions—are based upon divine revelations. The Koran would agree with that in terms of the Judaism and Christianity. In Islam, that has been extended by some to Zoroastrianism and even Hinduism. So since they believe that all these religions are valid, I wanted to see if it was possible to get a view of how the New World Order is opposed to all the religions, not just anti-Christian.
There are people who say “ the New World Order is anti-Christian, but so is Islam. And so they are both our enemy.”
That's not the way I look at it. I think the New World Order is working to control and, if possible, either destroy or put under secular control all of the religions. Whether this results in a one world religion is uncertain, but certainly they want to weaken the religions. They don't want any major population groups taking their cues from something other than them.
Christianity was weakened very much through the Second Vatican Council, which was basically when the Catholic Church no longer stood against the world but said, let's get with the world. Some think this was a kind of a Freemasonic coup within the Catholic Church, and there's some truth to that probably. But Christianity was already weakened, and Islam had to be attacked in a more direct way by military force, as well as by internal subversion, in order to weaken it.
Another view is that the New World Order political power mongers are just interested in accumulating power by any means necessary. They don't care if it's called religious or anti-religious. They're willing to pose as religious or to pose as anti-religious.
That's true on a level, but there's something more to it than this. Some of the elites who are the New World Order, higher echelons of the New World Order—it is very difficult to get names, dates, and places at this point—but you can see the effects of this coming out. When you get deeper in there, you're finding that people increasingly have a Luciferian ideology, which is mysterious because really, to make the world a hell on earth, to deconstruct the human form itself, hrough genetics or whatever, is not really going to be in anybody's human interest.

Are we living through a Jewish apocalypse?
Many of my friends think so. Linh Dinh isn’t the only one who thinks the COVID “Jewjabs” are a plot to exterminate the goyim. Then there’s the alleged Jewish plan to destroy America through crime and unchecked immigration. Linh recently emailed me:
“At least until recently, you didn't think crime has gotten out of control in SF and other American cities. By contrast, I clearly see Jew-stoked mayhem. With Soros installed prosecutors like Alvin Bragg in Manhattan and Larry Krasner in Philly, there’s a surge in crime and chaos across the USA, and Jewish Mayorkas as Secretary of Homeland Security is allowing all these illegal immigrants to flood in. You don’t see their plan behind this madness?”
Well…no. I’m not convinced Jews are deliberately fomenting crime and chaos. Just as I’m skeptical about the alleged 1940s German plan to murder all Jews, I’m also skeptical of claims that Jews are deliberately trying to weaken and destroy America through crime and immigration. The evidence supporting both claims, not to mention the supposed “Jewjabs” plot, is weak.
But that doesn’t mean we aren’t in the midst of a Jewish apocalypse. A quick search shows that the word apocalypse brings together two very different notions:
* the complete final destruction of the world, as described in the Book of Revelation; an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale. (Google)
* a Greek word meaning "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling". (Wikiquote)
Obviously the self-proclaimed “Jewish state” is inflicting “destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale” on the starving women and children of Gaza. That genocide, opposed by most of the world but supported by the US and its vassals, risks exploding into a much larger war that could kill billions and inflict destruction on an even more awesome or catastrophic scale.
And then there is the war on Russia through Ukraine. The Russians have made it known in no uncertain terms that they feel existentially threatened and will respond with nuclear weapons if the tide were ever to turn too hard against them. According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock, the world is the closest it’s ever been to a civilization-ending nuclear war.
What does that have to do with Jews? Some say “everything.” The neoconservative movement that hijacked US foreign policy on September 11, 2001, is about 90% Jewish, and it is this recklessly hawkish cabal that has driven the world to the brink of nuclear destruction.
But aren’t American Jews mostly left-leaning doves on all matters unrelated to Israel? Yes, but their tribal leaders—the richest and most influential Jews—are not. The neoconservative movement, which sees a rabidly hawkish, ultra-militarized US empire as the necessary guarantor of Greater Israel’s security, dominates the apparatus of Jewish tribal power. When Establishment-insider Jews dissent, like the late Stephen Cohen and “rogue elephant” Jeffrey Sachs, they are quickly marginalized by the media.
Jewish neocons like the recently-fired Victoria Nuland are also suspected of hating Russians, and Orthodox goyim in general, due to age-old ethnic animosities. Some see the brutal Ukraine war as a bloody Jewish-orchestrated revenge on the Slavs. That strikes me as plausible. After all, it’s widely accepted by critics of Zbigniew Brzezinski that Zbig was a rabid anti-Moscow hawk because his ethnic roots in the Polish nobility naturally led him to hate Russians with a passion. So why isn’t it equally widely accepted that American neocon Jews have destroyed Ukraine, and killed hundreds of thousands of Slavic Orthodox Christians, for similar reasons?
Apocalypse as “Unveiling”
If Jews are playing a disproportionate role in the ever-accelerating chaos, destruction, and bloodshed around us, the unveiling of that role, by way of the Gaza genocide-in-plain-sight, fits the second meaning of apocalypse. Though the Jewish state has been a hyper-mendacious genocide operation from the beginning—“he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him”—Zionist genocide and big lies were much easier to ignore or spin back in that bygone era, that “golden age of Jewish lies,” before October 7, 2023.
Today, the whole world is being forced to watch genocide in real time. And it is being forced to comprehend that this unbelievably cruel and horrific genocide is a quintessentially Jewish thing.
Israeli Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, who heads the Shirat Moshe religious school in Israel where students serve in the military, said "there are no innocent people" in Gaza and all babies in the tiny enclave must be slaughtered. (source)
Cat McGuire and I commented on this week’s False Flag Weekly News:
Kevin Barrett: “Kill the babies, kill the mothers, kill the elderly people, kill them all.” That's basic Jewish religious doctrine according to Rabbi Elihu Mali. Now, of course, there's been pushback against him in Israel, but all the pushback isn't because they think what he's saying is necessarily incorrect. It's rather that it's a scandal to say such things in such a way that the goyim could hear them. And the goyim are hearing them and spreading this around.
And so his fellow Israelis are not the least bit upset about what he's saying, because virtually all Israeli Jews agree with this one way or another. Instead, they just wish he hadn't said it on video and the video been captured and sent out to the world. That tells you something about the moral maturity of the people of so-called Israel.
Cat McGuire: Well, there is kind of a twisted logic to them. During Passover, Jews supposedly recite this phrase from the Haggadah: “In every generation, our enemies rise up to destroy us.” So if that has been inculcated in your religious law for centuries and centuries, it does kind of make logical sense. “Get it at its root. Get the weeds out early.” It's strange, but that's probably part of why Laurent Guyénot in his excellent book From Yahweh to Zion ends up feeling that this is a psychopathic people.
Kevin Barrett: Right. So here's our public service announcement: “Please fight anti-Semitism by killing all non-Jews when they are babies so they can't grow up to be goyim. Because we all know that the goyim hate the Jews and want to kill them. Therefore, rise and kill first, save the Jews, kill all the goyim when they're still babies and/or kill their mothers. This has been a public service announcement from the Anti-Defecation League.”
Golden Age Ending?
The made-in-Gaza unveiling of taboo truths about the relationship between Jews and non-Jews threatens to end the Golden Age of American Jews. That, in so many words, is the message of Franklin Foer’s Atlantic article “The Golden Age of American Jews Is Ending.” But since Foer is either a true-believing Jewish mythologist high on his own supply, or a neocon who hides subversive truths between-the-lines, he never forthrightly admits that what he’s calling a Golden Age was actually a hostile Jewish takeover of America that coincided with a hostile American takeover of much of the world, and that it had at least as many unpleasant aspects as pleasant ones.
Foer gives Jews, not the Founding Fathers, credit for inventing American liberalism:
Liberalism helped unleash a Golden Age of American Jewry, an unprecedented period of safety, prosperity, and political influence. Jews, who had once been excluded from the American establishment, became full-fledged members of it. And remarkably, they achieved power by and large without having to abandon their identity. In faculty lounges and television writers’ rooms, in small magazines and big publishing houses, they infused the wider culture with that identity. Their anxieties became American anxieties. Their dreams became American dreams.
But that era is drawing to a close. America’s ascendant political movements—MAGA on one side, the illiberal left on the other—would demolish the last pillars of the consensus that Jews helped establish. They regard concepts such as tolerance, fairness, meritocracy, and cosmopolitanism as pernicious shams. The Golden Age of American Jewry has given way to a golden age of conspiracy, reckless hyperbole, and political violence, all tendencies inimical to the democratic temperament. Extremist thought and mob behavior have never been good for Jews. And what’s bad for Jews, it can be argued, is bad for America.
Yes, it can be argued. By Jews. But for those outside their bubble of ultra-ethnocentric tribal narcissism, it isn’t so obvious that everything that’s good for Jews is good for America, and vice-versa. Nor is it obvious that Jews are the creators, rather than the destroyers, of American liberalism. While I’ll grant them a certain cosmopolitanism, I’m not sure Jews are exactly paragons of “tolerance, fairness, meritocracy.” Take meritocratic fairness: The myth that Jewish success is purely based on merit rather than ruthless tribal nepotism, like other myths that benefit Jews (God gave us Palestine, we are Chosen, the Holocaust, etc.) doesn’t withstand scrutiny. Jewish domination of American media has appalled US presidents and bemused eloquent Jewish observers including Joel Stein and Philip Weiss. And while Stein apparently thinks Jews are the only people who can create audiovisual media above the level of Davey and Goliath, Weiss is more realistic: He acknowledges that Jews feel more comfortable with other Jews, which is why they hire each other for journalism positions—and presumably why they appoint each other to each others’ boards, recommend each other for cabinet positions, admit each other to elite universities, let each other in on the best financial opportunities, and otherwise discriminate against non-Jews. That’s “fairness and meritocracy”?!
The argument that Jewish ascendency in America is based on “fairness and meritocracy” is decisively refuted in Ron Unz’s work on elite university admissions. The replacement of America’s pre-World War II WASP elite with a postwar Jewish elite (the real “great replacement”) was largely engineered through the Jewish takeover of elite universities, beginning with the Ivy League. Unz presents detailed statistical evidence of a massive pro-Jewish bias in elite university admissions that can only be explained by tribal nepotism in one form or another. Jews also seem to be the biggest force behind a pro-minority, anti-(non-Jewish)-white bias that seems designed to serve the Jewish ethnic-warfare agenda by removing the Jews’ competition, white goys, from elite positions.
If Jews shouldn’t be taking credit for America’s “fairness and meritocracy,” they also are the last people in America who should be bragging about “tolerance.” No ethnic group on Earth is less tolerant of speech it doesn’t like. The war on free speech that finally culminated in the new age of pervasive censorship is almost entirely a Jewish creation. Spearheaded by the ADL, SPLC, and other Jewish groups, and given an intellectual veneer by Jews like anti-9/11-truth guru Cass Sunstein, the pro-censorship lobby has basically deplatformed everyone the Jews don’t like, making the free-and-fair internet a fond memory of the not-so-distant past.
So yes, Franklin Foer, the golden age of American liberalism is over—and it’s the Jews who killed it.
Why did elite American Jews kill free speech? Short answer: Because they’re paranoid. Just as Rabbi Eliyahu Mali is so paranoid about babies growing up to be enemies of the Jews that he advocates killing them and their mothers en masse, thereby creating billions more enemies whose babies will also need to be slaughtered, people like Franklin Foer are so paranoid about “anti-Semitism” that they feel the need to censor those they disagree with, angering the censorship victims and their friends and creating even more and angrier enemies who will in turn need to be even more ruthlessly censored.
It can be argued that there are two kinds of tribal Jews:* The traumatizing brainwashers, and the traumatized brainwashed. The former are Straussian self-styled supermen who believe the best way to live is to appear good to others while living secret lives as ruthlessly amoral, evil-embracing psychopaths. These tribal elitists (Netanyahu being a classic example) conspire with each other to traumatize ordinary Jews with terrifying myths about how the goyim boogiemen are out to get them.
Is Franklin Foer among the brainwashers or the brainwashed? Deliberately or no, he frantically, almost desperately, spews self-serving tribal mythology:
The Jewish vacation from history ended on September 11, 2001. It didn’t seem that way at the time. But the terror attacks opened an era of perpetual crisis, which became fertile soil where the hatred of Jews took root. Though Osama bin Laden claimed credit for the plot, that didn’t stop some people from trying to shift the blame.** One theory explained in exquisitely absurd detail how Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, had toppled the Twin Towers.***
But there was also a more sophisticated version of this conspiracy theory, one that had a patina of academic respectability. On the left, it became commonplace to fulminate against the neoconservatives, warmongering intellectuals said to be whispering in the ear of the American establishment, urging the invasion of Iraq and war against Iran.
This wasn’t fully untethered from reality: The neocons were a group of largely Jewish think-tank denizens and policy operatives, some of whom held top posts in President George W. Bush’s administration. But the angry talk about neocons also trafficked in dangerous old tropes. It inflated their role in world events and ascribed the worst motives to them. Men like Paul Wolfowitz, the second-highest-ranking official in Bush’s Pentagon, and William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, were portrayed by critics on the left as bamboozlers undermining the national interest in service of their stealth loyalty to Israel. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, for one, took exception to the idea that Jews were pulling the strings of the United States government. “I suppose the implication of that is that the president and the vice president and myself and Colin Powell just fell off a turnip truck to take these jobs,” he said.
In 2007, Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, professors at Harvard and the University of Chicago, respectively, spelled out what others implied in The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, a book published by a venerable house, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, that soon arrived on the New York Times best-seller list. This was the opposite of the schmaltzy Streisand tribute—the Jewish state as not a friend but a villain surreptitiously manipulating American power to further its own ends.
Foer implies that the 9/11 truth movement was responsible for setting off a chain of events that led to Israel being increasingly viewed as “not a friend but a villain.” I would like to think that’s true, since I played a significant role in that movement.
9/11 was such a dastardly case of high treason, mass murder, and big lies that it exposed its perpetrators as agents of almost unimaginable evil. If they would do this, what wouldn’t they do? And if we let them get away with it, what couldn’t they get away with? The specter of such unmitigated metaphysical evil forces us to confront the uncomfortable fact that evil, and by extension its opposite, good, are not mere subjective illusions, but constitutive elements of the very fabric of reality. Facing these facts squarely can force us to abandon the secular materialist paradigm into which we’ve been indoctrinated, and recognize that, as Disraeli put it, “the world is governed by very different personages to what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”
Israel, too, is the creation of “very different personages to what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” Far from being a secular democratic nationalist creation of modernity-embracing atheists like Theodore Herzl, it is the product of satanic black magicians like Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank. While people like Franklin Foer speak of “the religious zealotry that (has) begun to infuse the (Israel’s) right wing, including its current ruling coalition,” they ignore the fact that Israel has always been the product of satanic Sabbatean-Frankist “religious” zealotry. That uncomfortable truth is at least partially unveiled in Barnett Rubin’s remarkable “Redemption through genocide: The ICJ ruled that Israel’s Gaza campaign poses a plausible and urgent threat of genocide. Future historians of Jewish messianism may recount how in 2024 ‘redemption through sin’ became ‘redemption through genocide,’ with unconditional U.S. support.”
Rubin, an Establishment figure who has held positions at the CFR, Yale, and Columbia, explains:
The rabbis of the Talmud forbade trying to hasten the arrival of the messiah, but heretical movements have sought to force the redemption. Gershom Scholem, a historian who devoted his life to studying Jewish mysticism, warned that “The Jews have always had a fatal attraction to messianism,” and “Zionism is no exception.”1 As early as the 1920s, Scholem compared the far-right Zionist predecessors of Netanyahu’s Likud party to Sabbatai Zevi, who proclaimed himself the messiah in Smyrna (now Izmir, Turkey) in 1648…The Sabbatians invented a darker version of tikkun, which required its believers to plumb the depths of evil to rescue the sparks of creation. Scholem called it ‘redemption through sin.’”
French-Moroccan scholar Youssef Hindi has persuasively argued that these and related Jewish messianic-millenarian heresies have always been the driving force behind Zionism. And to the extent that Zionism is essentially Sabbatean-Frankist, its peculiar combination of viciousness, sadism, mendacity, and total dedication to torturing and slowly (now rapidly) exterminating the descendants of the family of Jesus and the other prophets reveals itself as the handiwork of Antichrist. Sabbatean-Frankist thought elevates evil as its supreme good. No wonder the Zionists relish murdering children and mothers, sarcastically wish starving people a happy Ramadan fast, mow down other starving people as they line up for food, deliberately inflict PTSD on children, and gleefully lie about everything they are doing, no doubt chortling at the gullibility of the goyim as they pile up ever-more-outrageous lies.
The doctrine of “redemption through sin” suggests that the greater the sin, the greater the redemption. Zionist Jews have inflicted on the world the notion that the greatest of all sins is genocide (with Jews playing the role of spotless victims). That’s the core of the Holocaust Religion, the official de facto religion of the Jewish-dominated West. If you were a Sabbatean-Frankist Zionist seeking the greatest possible redemption, wouldn’t lying, pity-play style, about a fake genocide, and using that big lie to commit a real genocide, be the biggest, juiciest, most redemptive sin you could possibly commit? No wonder they’re polishing up their pink heifers and getting ready for the Antichrist—they think they’ve been so evil that the Devil’s supreme representative on Earth will be forced to come and join them.
I will end by citing my own False Flag Weekly News diatribe:
This whole redemption-through-sin philosophy jibes with neoconservatism, which is based on Leo Strauss's philosophical turning upside down the Western philosophical tradition, sort of in the same way that Sabbatai Zevi turned upside down the Jewish religious tradition. And for Strauss, just as for Shabtai Zvi, good is evil and evil is good. The more evil you are, the better.
Leo Strauss recast exactly that thought in philosophical terms by rewriting Plato's dialogues such that when Plato argues for virtue, “the virtuous man is the happy man,” Strauss favors Socrates’ antagonist (Thrasymachus) who argues that the truly happy man is the man who appears to be virtuous on the outside but is utterly evil on the inside, and thereby gets the best of both worlds: He gets to enjoy the accolades of all of the people who think he's good, plus he gets to enjoy raping and torturing and murdering little children, I suppose, or whatever else he's doing.
So this is now dominant among the Jewish elite, one strand or the other, whether it's the Sabbatean version for those people who like to go to orgies and rape and murder children, or whether it's the Straussian version—some of them probably do that too, but others are just philosophers who believe in evil. And if they get the chance to commit it with Jeffrey Epstein, they do.
This is the dominant mentality among the elite Jews who dominate America and are enabling this genocide.
So we're faced with evil.
We are at war and we do need to identify the enemy.
It is the Jewish tribe run by this satanic-Straussian elite.****
*It should go without saying that there are plenty of non-tribal Jews, as well as some relatively non-brainwashed and/or well-meaning tribal ones.

Are we living through a Jewish apocalypse?
Many of my friends think so. Linh Dinh isn’t the only one who thinks the COVID “Jewjabs” are a plot to exterminate the goyim. Then there’s the alleged Jewish plan to destroy America through crime and unchecked immigration. Linh recently emailed me:
“At least until recently, you didn't think crime has gotten out of control in SF and other American cities. By contrast, I clearly see Jew-stoked mayhem. With Soros installed prosecutors like Alvin Bragg in Manhattan and Larry Krasner in Philly, there’s a surge in crime and chaos across the USA, and Jewish Mayorkas as Secretary of Homeland Security is allowing all these illegal immigrants to flood in. You don’t see their plan behind this madness?”
Well…no. I’m not convinced Jews are deliberately fomenting crime and chaos. Just as I’m skeptical about the alleged 1940s German plan to murder all Jews, I’m also skeptical of claims that Jews are deliberately trying to weaken and destroy America through crime and immigration. The evidence supporting both claims, not to mention the supposed “Jewjabs” plot, is weak.
But that doesn’t mean we aren’t in the midst of a Jewish apocalypse. A quick search shows that the word apocalypse brings together two very different notions:
* the complete final destruction of the world, as described in the Book of Revelation; an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale. (Google)
* a Greek word meaning "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling". (Wikiquote)
Obviously the self-proclaimed “Jewish state” is inflicting “destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale” on the starving women and children of Gaza. That genocide, opposed by most of the world but supported by the US and its vassals, risks exploding into a much larger war that could kill billions and inflict destruction on an even more awesome or catastrophic scale.
And then there is the war on Russia through Ukraine. The Russians have made it known in no uncertain terms that they feel existentially threatened and will respond with nuclear weapons if the tide were ever to turn too hard against them. According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock, the world is the closest it’s ever been to a civilization-ending nuclear war.
What does that have to do with Jews? Some say “everything.” The neoconservative movement that hijacked US foreign policy on September 11, 2001, is about 90% Jewish, and it is this recklessly hawkish cabal that has driven the world to the brink of nuclear destruction.
But aren’t American Jews mostly left-leaning doves on all matters unrelated to Israel? Yes, but their tribal leaders—the richest and most influential Jews—are not. The neoconservative movement, which sees a rabidly hawkish, ultra-militarized US empire as the necessary guarantor of Greater Israel’s security, dominates the apparatus of Jewish tribal power. When Establishment-insider Jews dissent, like the late Stephen Cohen and “rogue elephant” Jeffrey Sachs, they are quickly marginalized by the media.
Jewish neocons like the recently-fired Victoria Nuland are also suspected of hating Russians, and Orthodox goyim in general, due to age-old ethnic animosities. Some see the brutal Ukraine war as a bloody Jewish-orchestrated revenge on the Slavs. That strikes me as plausible. After all, it’s widely accepted by critics of Zbigniew Brzezinski that Zbig was a rabid anti-Moscow hawk because his ethnic roots in the Polish nobility naturally led him to hate Russians with a passion. So why isn’t it equally widely accepted that American neocon Jews have destroyed Ukraine, and killed hundreds of thousands of Slavic Orthodox Christians, for similar reasons?
Apocalypse as “Unveiling”
If Jews are playing a disproportionate role in the ever-accelerating chaos, destruction, and bloodshed around us, the unveiling of that role, by way of the Gaza genocide-in-plain-sight, fits the second meaning of apocalypse. Though the Jewish state has been a hyper-mendacious genocide operation from the beginning—“he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him”—Zionist genocide and big lies were much easier to ignore or spin back in that bygone era, that “golden age of Jewish lies,” before October 7, 2023.
Today, the whole world is being forced to watch genocide in real time. And it is being forced to comprehend that this unbelievably cruel and horrific genocide is a quintessentially Jewish thing.
Israeli Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, who heads the Shirat Moshe religious school in Israel where students serve in the military, said "there are no innocent people" in Gaza and all babies in the tiny enclave must be slaughtered. (source)
Cat McGuire and I commented on this week’s False Flag Weekly News:
Kevin Barrett: “Kill the babies, kill the mothers, kill the elderly people, kill them all.” That's basic Jewish religious doctrine according to Rabbi Elihu Mali. Now, of course, there's been pushback against him in Israel, but all the pushback isn't because they think what he's saying is necessarily incorrect. It's rather that it's a scandal to say such things in such a way that the goyim could hear them. And the goyim are hearing them and spreading this around.
And so his fellow Israelis are not the least bit upset about what he's saying, because virtually all Israeli Jews agree with this one way or another. Instead, they just wish he hadn't said it on video and the video been captured and sent out to the world. That tells you something about the moral maturity of the people of so-called Israel.
Cat McGuire: Well, there is kind of a twisted logic to them. During Passover, Jews supposedly recite this phrase from the Haggadah: “In every generation, our enemies rise up to destroy us.” So if that has been inculcated in your religious law for centuries and centuries, it does kind of make logical sense. “Get it at its root. Get the weeds out early.” It's strange, but that's probably part of why Laurent Guyénot in his excellent book From Yahweh to Zion ends up feeling that this is a psychopathic people.
Kevin Barrett: Right. So here's our public service announcement: “Please fight anti-Semitism by killing all non-Jews when they are babies so they can't grow up to be goyim. Because we all know that the goyim hate the Jews and want to kill them. Therefore, rise and kill first, save the Jews, kill all the goyim when they're still babies and/or kill their mothers. This has been a public service announcement from the Anti-Defecation League.”
Golden Age Ending?
The made-in-Gaza unveiling of taboo truths about the relationship between Jews and non-Jews threatens to end the Golden Age of American Jews. That, in so many words, is the message of Franklin Foer’s Atlantic article “The Golden Age of American Jews Is Ending.” But since Foer is either a true-believing Jewish mythologist high on his own supply, or a neocon who hides subversive truths between-the-lines, he never forthrightly admits that what he’s calling a Golden Age was actually a hostile Jewish takeover of America that coincided with a hostile American takeover of much of the world, and that it had at least as many unpleasant aspects as pleasant ones.
Foer gives Jews, not the Founding Fathers, credit for inventing American liberalism:
Liberalism helped unleash a Golden Age of American Jewry, an unprecedented period of safety, prosperity, and political influence. Jews, who had once been excluded from the American establishment, became full-fledged members of it. And remarkably, they achieved power by and large without having to abandon their identity. In faculty lounges and television writers’ rooms, in small magazines and big publishing houses, they infused the wider culture with that identity. Their anxieties became American anxieties. Their dreams became American dreams.
But that era is drawing to a close. America’s ascendant political movements—MAGA on one side, the illiberal left on the other—would demolish the last pillars of the consensus that Jews helped establish. They regard concepts such as tolerance, fairness, meritocracy, and cosmopolitanism as pernicious shams. The Golden Age of American Jewry has given way to a golden age of conspiracy, reckless hyperbole, and political violence, all tendencies inimical to the democratic temperament. Extremist thought and mob behavior have never been good for Jews. And what’s bad for Jews, it can be argued, is bad for America.
Yes, it can be argued. By Jews. But for those outside their bubble of ultra-ethnocentric tribal narcissism, it isn’t so obvious that everything that’s good for Jews is good for America, and vice-versa. Nor is it obvious that Jews are the creators, rather than the destroyers, of American liberalism. While I’ll grant them a certain cosmopolitanism, I’m not sure Jews are exactly paragons of “tolerance, fairness, meritocracy.” Take meritocratic fairness: The myth that Jewish success is purely based on merit rather than ruthless tribal nepotism, like other myths that benefit Jews (God gave us Palestine, we are Chosen, the Holocaust, etc.) doesn’t withstand scrutiny. Jewish domination of American media has appalled US presidents and bemused eloquent Jewish observers including Joel Stein and Philip Weiss. And while Stein apparently thinks Jews are the only people who can create audiovisual media above the level of Davey and Goliath, Weiss is more realistic: He acknowledges that Jews feel more comfortable with other Jews, which is why they hire each other for journalism positions—and presumably why they appoint each other to each others’ boards, recommend each other for cabinet positions, admit each other to elite universities, let each other in on the best financial opportunities, and otherwise discriminate against non-Jews. That’s “fairness and meritocracy”?!
The argument that Jewish ascendency in America is based on “fairness and meritocracy” is decisively refuted in Ron Unz’s work on elite university admissions. The replacement of America’s pre-World War II WASP elite with a postwar Jewish elite (the real “great replacement”) was largely engineered through the Jewish takeover of elite universities, beginning with the Ivy League. Unz presents detailed statistical evidence of a massive pro-Jewish bias in elite university admissions that can only be explained by tribal nepotism in one form or another. Jews also seem to be the biggest force behind a pro-minority, anti-(non-Jewish)-white bias that seems designed to serve the Jewish ethnic-warfare agenda by removing the Jews’ competition, white goys, from elite positions.
If Jews shouldn’t be taking credit for America’s “fairness and meritocracy,” they also are the last people in America who should be bragging about “tolerance.” No ethnic group on Earth is less tolerant of speech it doesn’t like. The war on free speech that finally culminated in the new age of pervasive censorship is almost entirely a Jewish creation. Spearheaded by the ADL, SPLC, and other Jewish groups, and given an intellectual veneer by Jews like anti-9/11-truth guru Cass Sunstein, the pro-censorship lobby has basically deplatformed everyone the Jews don’t like, making the free-and-fair internet a fond memory of the not-so-distant past.
So yes, Franklin Foer, the golden age of American liberalism is over—and it’s the Jews who killed it.
Why did elite American Jews kill free speech? Short answer: Because they’re paranoid. Just as Rabbi Eliyahu Mali is so paranoid about babies growing up to be enemies of the Jews that he advocates killing them and their mothers en masse, thereby creating billions more enemies whose babies will also need to be slaughtered, people like Franklin Foer are so paranoid about “anti-Semitism” that they feel the need to censor those they disagree with, angering the censorship victims and their friends and creating even more and angrier enemies who will in turn need to be even more ruthlessly censored.
It can be argued that there are two kinds of tribal Jews:* The traumatizing brainwashers, and the traumatized brainwashed. The former are Straussian self-styled supermen who believe the best way to live is to appear good to others while living secret lives as ruthlessly amoral, evil-embracing psychopaths. These tribal elitists (Netanyahu being a classic example) conspire with each other to traumatize ordinary Jews with terrifying myths about how the goyim boogiemen are out to get them.
Is Franklin Foer among the brainwashers or the brainwashed? Deliberately or no, he frantically, almost desperately, spews self-serving tribal mythology:
The Jewish vacation from history ended on September 11, 2001. It didn’t seem that way at the time. But the terror attacks opened an era of perpetual crisis, which became fertile soil where the hatred of Jews took root. Though Osama bin Laden claimed credit for the plot, that didn’t stop some people from trying to shift the blame.** One theory explained in exquisitely absurd detail how Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, had toppled the Twin Towers.***
But there was also a more sophisticated version of this conspiracy theory, one that had a patina of academic respectability. On the left, it became commonplace to fulminate against the neoconservatives, warmongering intellectuals said to be whispering in the ear of the American establishment, urging the invasion of Iraq and war against Iran.
This wasn’t fully untethered from reality: The neocons were a group of largely Jewish think-tank denizens and policy operatives, some of whom held top posts in President George W. Bush’s administration. But the angry talk about neocons also trafficked in dangerous old tropes. It inflated their role in world events and ascribed the worst motives to them. Men like Paul Wolfowitz, the second-highest-ranking official in Bush’s Pentagon, and William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, were portrayed by critics on the left as bamboozlers undermining the national interest in service of their stealth loyalty to Israel. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, for one, took exception to the idea that Jews were pulling the strings of the United States government. “I suppose the implication of that is that the president and the vice president and myself and Colin Powell just fell off a turnip truck to take these jobs,” he said.
In 2007, Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, professors at Harvard and the University of Chicago, respectively, spelled out what others implied in The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, a book published by a venerable house, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, that soon arrived on the New York Times best-seller list. This was the opposite of the schmaltzy Streisand tribute—the Jewish state as not a friend but a villain surreptitiously manipulating American power to further its own ends.
Foer implies that the 9/11 truth movement was responsible for setting off a chain of events that led to Israel being increasingly viewed as “not a friend but a villain.” I would like to think that’s true, since I played a significant role in that movement.
9/11 was such a dastardly case of high treason, mass murder, and big lies that it exposed its perpetrators as agents of almost unimaginable evil. If they would do this, what wouldn’t they do? And if we let them get away with it, what couldn’t they get away with? The specter of such unmitigated metaphysical evil forces us to confront the uncomfortable fact that evil, and by extension its opposite, good, are not mere subjective illusions, but constitutive elements of the very fabric of reality. Facing these facts squarely can force us to abandon the secular materialist paradigm into which we’ve been indoctrinated, and recognize that, as Disraeli put it, “the world is governed by very different personages to what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”
Israel, too, is the creation of “very different personages to what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” Far from being a secular democratic nationalist creation of modernity-embracing atheists like Theodore Herzl, it is the product of satanic black magicians like Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank. While people like Franklin Foer speak of “the religious zealotry that (has) begun to infuse the (Israel’s) right wing, including its current ruling coalition,” they ignore the fact that Israel has always been the product of satanic Sabbatean-Frankist “religious” zealotry.

Jeff Brown discusses his recent articles on Xinjiang, climate change, and more. Jeff J Brown is the author of The China Trilogy, editor of China Rising Radio Sinoland, and China Tech News Flash!, and curator of the Bioweapon Truth Commission Global Online Library.
Excerpt:
It's almost Ramadan and there's been a lot of propaganda in the West about a supposed genocide in Xinjiang. Now, of course, Chinese people have been posting side-by-side pictures of Gaza and Xinjiang and asking which one looks like there's a genocide going on there.
It's pretty obvious that some of those reports out of Xinjiang have been grossly exaggerated.And you just wrote a piece about this.
So it's almost Ramadan. Please reassure us Muslims that the Muslims in Xinjiang are going to be able to fast and they won't be forced to eat pork.
Absolutely. That's all just straight out of Langley. It's just the most grotesque propaganda that they're forced to eat pork. GULAGS and concentration camps. And as I even pointed out, the United States, even in WikiLeaks, they admit that it's a joke. They admit that it's fake news, but they use it to try to destroy the Chinese economy and China's image around the world.
And then a couple of years ago, people from the U.S. consulate in Guangzhou, where we were living in Xinjiang, our last three years were in Xinjiang across the border from Hong Kong, and she even publicly admitted that we know it's not true, but we are doing this as leverage to try to harm China, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. These were representatives from the U.S. consulate. So everybody knows it's a complete and total fabrication.
The Chinese have had thousands and thousands and thousands from every predominantly Muslim country around the world. Clerics, professors, doctors, lawyers, politicians, diplomats, leaders have come to Xinjiang and they poured across that province and they are just totally blown away by how the people are living. As I pointed out, so none of them could report anything close to gulags or concentration camps.
And what happened is, and as I explained, after the USSR collapsed, the CIA and George Soros and Ned and USAID and the whole deep state used the Russian territory to infiltrate hundreds and later thousands of terrorists trained in Libya, Syria, Turkey, Waziristan and Afghanistan and Pakistan. China had thousands, not hundreds, thousands of terrorist attacks. I didn't realize there were that many. So that means most of them were not reported. Only the most sensational ones were reported.
And Jeff, what kinds of attacks were these? Were these attacks on the authorities, on military outposts, or just ordinary people?
No, ordinary people like train stations, bus stations, public squares, markets, and not just in Xinjiang, but in the rest of China, too. And they were highly trained and highly skilled. Hundreds of people were killed over that time. And so the Chinese realized that they had to do something. In 2016 they passed an anti-terrorist law and so the supposed gulags in concentration camps are actually re-education or education schools to re-educate the Xinjiang people because they were completely just brainwashed. The Wahhabis were pouring money into Xinjiang and paying for mosques that were teaching fake Islam, violent Islam, etc. And those mosques were closed down. But there's still 25,000 mosques in Xinjiang.
So they haven't closed all the mosques. They're not forcing people to eat pork during Ramadan.
No, or drink alcohol. It's just a grotesque propaganda. The economy is booming. It's the hub of the Belt and Road Initiative to connect China to the rest of West Asia, and the double-digit economic growth.
And this is the key, Kevin. This is the key. China has not had a terrorist attack since 2016. That's eight years ago. How many countries can say they have not had a terrorist attack in eight years? The United States can't. I don't think any of the countries in Western Europe can.
And so they have literally through massive education, economic development, infrastructure have literally stamped out terrorism in China because it's bottom up from the people getting the people involved and it's a collective effort between Muslims and non-Muslims…
Doesn't this get to the issue of the relationship between the Chinese state and different sort of ethnicities, right? China does have a lot of different ethnic groups and the Xinjiang region, of course, has these sort of Turkic speaking peoples. And what we really had here was more of a sort of a separatist nationalist problem than an Islam problem, wasn't it?
Yeah, exactly. George Soros and the CIA and their ilk created this East Turkmenistan independence movement. There's another one, but it's not quite as important. And they got them into the United Nations. And of course, they've got offices in Western capitals all over the place. There are people that work there, have chairs, you know, anti-communist, anti-Chinese. Think tanks, professorships in Ivy League schools.
I had a representative on the show at one point and she didn't convince me She was a little too hysterical and a little too fast and loose with her factoids.
Yeah, well, she probably hasn't been there in 10 years. I visited Xinjiang back in the 90s. The Chinese, after independence with Mao Zedong, et cetera, adopted the Leninist, Vladimir Lenin's philosophy that minorities should be, stay, they should keep their language, they should keep their alphabet, they should keep their religion, they should keep their culture, they should keep their history and their civilization and not necessarily integrate with the rest of the country. And so this turned out to be a big mistake. Because in the long run because what happened is after 1978-80 after Mao died and the reform and opening up during the Deng Xiaoping era all of a sudden these people in Tibet and Xinjiang couldn't get jobs with companies, you know, in Shenzhen, etc.
And then, of course, what does the West do? “Oh, they're trying to crush their culture.” And, you know, they can't win.
But now they are teaching Mandarin and Uyghur in Xinjiang and Mandarin and Tibetan in Tibet equally. And all the signs are in dual language. If you go to Xinjiang they're in Mandarin and Uyghur and if you go to Tibet they're in Mandarin and Tibetan. And so now the people are bilingual and they're plugged into the economy they're plugged into the education system they're plugged into jobs and and they're migrating to other parts of China to seek work, just as well as Chinese are migrating to those areas to seek work. So that has been a big help because now they're more of a daily part of life in China than before when they were kept in their native environment.
So from a Muslim perspective, you can understand why people are kind of split on this. On one hand, we have the West using these tactics against the Islamic world and also against China and training terrorists in U.S. vassal states like Saudi Arabia. And the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia a couple of years ago admitted that the whole Wahhabi terror thing was all forced on Saudi Arabia by the U.S. as a tool of American foreign policy. So Islam is under attack from the West using all of these different kinds of divide and conquer tactics, including the creation of crazed mercenaries to be used against the empire's enemies. But on the other hand, there's a legitimate kind of historical grievance, shall we say, in that the Islamic world sees itself as a single Ummah, a single Islamic nation. And that nation has been carved up into bits and pieces over the centuries. And some of it's ended up in what's now Russia, some of it's ended up in what's now China, and some of it's in what's now India, and so on and so forth. So there is that sense that people who are at least as much a part of the Muslim nation as of the Chinese nation, in the case of the Muslims of Xinjiang, maybe more so, that that's just an intractable problem. So I don't think we should 100 percent blame the Turks for sort of seeing Xinjiang as being that should be part of the Muslim nation. I mean, it should, shouldn't it?
Well, it is part of the Muslim world. Chinese go to Mecca every year. They go to all of the Islamic councils and international meetings. Muslims from all over the world come to China to attend meetings. There is no abridgement of any religious belief in China as long as you do not try to use your religion to overthrow the government. And that's the limit. That's why so many of the, a number of Christian churches, you know, there's 50 million Christians in China and they closed down a bunch of these churches because they were being financed by fundamentalist Christian groups in the United States to try to be political and try to create tension with the government and go against the government and go against the way of life of the Chinese people.
And that's true for Buddhists. It's true for the Muslims. And I've never seen any problem with Muslims anywhere in China. We lived in Beijing. We lived literally catty corner from a Muslim enclave in Beijing, the Hui minority. They're in Ningxia, up by Inner Mongolia. They're much, much further east towards Beijing, about halfway between Xinjiang and Beijing. And the Hui people, I mean, they had Halal restaurants we used to go to. We used to go to the Halal market. They had a mosque, you know, about 200 or 300 meters from where we lived and people would go to the mosque whenever they felt like it. It was open 24 hours a day. They didn't have to have any guards or anything. They had total freedom to go to the mosque whenever they felt like it. And everywhere I've traveled, I mean, there are Uighurs all over China. The Uyghur restaurants are incredibly popular all over China. So there's Uyghurs everywhere in China because the people love Uyghur food. And so there's no problem.
In Shenzhen, I mean, you know, just north of Hong Kong, there's six mosques. You know, I mean, how many mosques are there in, you know, in cities in the United States and Europe? They have a hell of a time even trying to get one built. Whereas in China, they're everywhere. Everywhere you turn, there's mosques all over the country. And so, Muslims have absolutely no limitations to practicing their beliefs, fasting, praying, going to prayers on…Well, in China, it's going to be probably on a Saturday or Sunday because they do the Western Civil Week, Monday through Friday.
The mosques are full, the people go, there's no problem. And you can buy Qurans and, you know, in all the minority languages, you can buy Qurans in Chinese and all, you know, in bookstores. I would say that Muslims in China have a better quality of spiritual practice than Muslims do in some other countries, that's for sure.

Excerpt:
It's almost Ramadan and there's been a lot of propaganda in the West about a supposed genocide in Xinjiang. Now, of course, Chinese people have been posting side-by-side pictures of Gaza and Xinjiang and asking which one looks like there's a genocide going on there.
It's pretty obvious that some of those reports out of Xinjiang have been grossly exaggerated.And you just wrote a piece about this.
So it's almost Ramadan. Please reassure us Muslims that the Muslims in Xinjiang are going to be able to fast and they won't be forced to eat pork.
Absolutely. That's all just straight out of Langley. It's just the most grotesque propaganda that they're forced to eat pork. GULAGS and concentration camps. And as I even pointed out, the United States, even in WikiLeaks, they admit that it's a joke. They admit that it's fake news, but they use it to try to destroy the Chinese economy and China's image around the world.
And then a couple of years ago, people from the U.S. consulate in Guangzhou, where we were living in Xinjiang, our last three years were in Xinjiang across the border from Hong Kong, and she even publicly admitted that we know it's not true, but we are doing this as leverage to try to harm China, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. These were representatives from the U.S. consulate. So everybody knows it's a complete and total fabrication.
The Chinese have had thousands and thousands and thousands from every predominantly Muslim country around the world. Clerics, professors, doctors, lawyers, politicians, diplomats, leaders have come to Xinjiang and they poured across that province and they are just totally blown away by how the people are living. As I pointed out, so none of them could report anything close to gulags or concentration camps.
And what happened is, and as I explained, after the USSR collapsed, the CIA and George Soros and Ned and USAID and the whole deep state used the Russian territory to infiltrate hundreds and later thousands of terrorists trained in Libya, Syria, Turkey, Waziristan and Afghanistan and Pakistan. China had thousands, not hundreds, thousands of terrorist attacks. I didn't realize there were that many. So that means most of them were not reported. Only the most sensational ones were reported.
And Jeff, what kinds of attacks were these? Were these attacks on the authorities, on military outposts, or just ordinary people?
No, ordinary people like train stations, bus stations, public squares, markets, and not just in Xinjiang, but in the rest of China, too. And they were highly trained and highly skilled. Hundreds of people were killed over that time. And so the Chinese realized that they had to do something. In 2016 they passed an anti-terrorist law and so the supposed gulags in concentration camps are actually re-education or education schools to re-educate the Xinjiang people because they were completely just brainwashed. The Wahhabis were pouring money into Xinjiang and paying for mosques that were teaching fake Islam, violent Islam, etc. And those mosques were closed down. But there's still 25,000 mosques in Xinjiang.
So they haven't closed all the mosques. They're not forcing people to eat pork during Ramadan.
No, or drink alcohol. It's just a grotesque propaganda. The economy is booming. It's the hub of the Belt and Road Initiative to connect China to the rest of West Asia, and the double-digit economic growth.
And this is the key, Kevin. This is the key. China has not had a terrorist attack since 2016. That's eight years ago. How many countries can say they have not had a terrorist attack in eight years? The United States can't. I don't think any of the countries in Western Europe can.
And so they have literally through massive education, economic development, infrastructure have literally stamped out terrorism in China because it's bottom up from the people getting the people involved and it's a collective effort between Muslims and non-Muslims…
Doesn't this get to the issue of the relationship between the Chinese state and different sort of ethnicities, right? China does have a lot of different ethnic groups and the Xinjiang region, of course, has these sort of Turkic speaking peoples. And what we really had here was more of a sort of a separatist nationalist problem than an Islam problem, wasn't it?
Yeah, exactly. George Soros and the CIA and their ilk created this East Turkmenistan independence movement. There's another one, but it's not quite as important. And they got them into the United Nations. And of course, they've got offices in Western capitals all over the place. There are people that work there, have chairs, you know, anti-communist, anti-Chinese. Think tanks, professorships in Ivy League schools.
I had a representative on the show at one point and she didn't convince me She was a little too hysterical and a little too fast and loose with her factoids.
Yeah, well, she probably hasn't been there in 10 years. I visited Xinjiang back in the 90s. The Chinese, after independence with Mao Zedong, et cetera, adopted the Leninist, Vladimir Lenin's philosophy that minorities should be, stay, they should keep their language, they should keep their alphabet, they should keep their religion, they should keep their culture, they should keep their history and their civilization and not necessarily integrate with the rest of the country. And so this turned out to be a big mistake. Because in the long run because what happened is after 1978-80 after Mao died and the reform and opening up during the Deng Xiaoping era all of a sudden these people in Tibet and Xinjiang couldn't get jobs with companies, you know, in Shenzhen, etc.
And then, of course, what does the West do? “Oh, they're trying to crush their culture.” And, you know, they can't win.
But now they are teaching Mandarin and Uyghur in Xinjiang and Mandarin and Tibetan in Tibet equally. And all the signs are in dual language. If you go to Xinjiang they're in Mandarin and Uyghur and if you go to Tibet they're in Mandarin and Tibetan. And so now the people are bilingual and they're plugged into the economy they're plugged into the education system they're plugged into jobs and and they're migrating to other parts of China to seek work, just as well as Chinese are migrating to those areas to seek work. So that has been a big help because now they're more of a daily part of life in China than before when they were kept in their native environment.
So from a Muslim perspective, you can understand why people are kind of split on this. On one hand, we have the West using these tactics against the Islamic world and also against China and training terrorists in U.S. vassal states like Saudi Arabia. And the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia a couple of years ago admitted that the whole Wahhabi terror thing was all forced on Saudi Arabia by the U.S. as a tool of American foreign policy. So Islam is under attack from the West using all of these different kinds of divide and conquer tactics, including the creation of crazed mercenaries to be used against the empire's enemies. But on the other hand, there's a legitimate kind of historical grievance, shall we say, in that the Islamic world sees itself as a single Ummah, a single Islamic nation. And that nation has been carved up into bits and pieces over the centuries. And some of it's ended up in what's now Russia, some of it's ended up in what's now China, and some of it's in what's now India, and so on and so forth. So there is that sense that people who are at least as much a part of the Muslim nation as of the Chinese nation, in the case of the Muslims of Xinjiang, maybe more so, that that's just an intractable problem. So I don't think we should 100 percent blame the Turks for sort of seeing Xinjiang as being that should be part of the Muslim nation. I mean, it should, shouldn't it?
Well, it is part of the Muslim world. Chinese go to Mecca every year. They go to all of the Islamic councils and international meetings. Muslims from all over the world come to China to attend meetings. There is no abridgement of any religious belief in China as long as you do not try to use your religion to overthrow the government. And that's the limit. That's why so many of the, a number of Christian churches, you know, there's 50 million Christians in China and they closed down a bunch of these churches because they were being financed by fundamentalist Christian groups in the United States to try to be political and try to create tension with the government and go against the government and go against the way of life of the Chinese people.
And that's true for Buddhists. It's true for the Muslims. And I've never seen any problem with Muslims anywhere in China. We lived in Beijing.

A while back I contacted Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad of the Nation of Islam Research Group (NOIRG) to ask about the Nation’s position on the genocide in Gaza. That question was answered by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s February 25 Savior’s Day speech, published in The Final Call as “The Genocide of Palestinians: A Test for The Whole Human Family.” Tonight Dr. Ridgely and Jeff Brown of China Rising will discuss the Gaza genocide, among other topics, on my live radio show.
Tomorrow’s False Flag Weekly News covers the week’s most notable 30 stories, including Barnett Rubin’s remarkable “Redemption Through Genocide.” Rubin’s observation that Zionism is an outgrowth of messianic millenarian heresy echoes what people like me and Yusuf Hindi have been saying for years. But Rubin has an impeccable establishment resumé. Maybe he’ll help Hindi and me get some traction?
Ramadan kareem! The holy month of fasting is expected to begin Sunday or Monday evening in most parts of the world. Above is the video, and below is a partial transcript, of last year’s khutba delivered on the Friday before the beginning of Ramadan.
We are in the last Juma before the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. So I'm going to talk a little bit about Ramadan and about inviting people, including non-Muslims, to share in Ramadan as a kind of dawah, an expression of what Ramadan is all about.
So what is Ramadan all about?F The first place to look is in Surat al-Baqarah 2:183) Believers! Fasting is enjoined upon you, as it was enjoined upon those before you, that you become God-fearing. (2:184) Fasting is for a fixed number of days, and if one of you be sick, or if one of you be on a journey, you will fast the same number of other days later on.
Another translation of that would be to become God conscious, to have taqwa, to have an awareness, a direct awareness of the reality of God. And that raises the question, how does fasting make you more mindful of God?
If we reflect on this—and the Quran does tell us to reflect, tells us to fakkur, to contemplate, to use our aql, our reason—and so we reflect on this and we use our reason and we realize that fasting makes us conscious of our dependence on God.
When you're hungry and when you're thirsty, when you're not eating even though your stomach is telling you that you want to eat and you're not drinking any water even though your body is telling you that you want a drink of water, your mouth is dry and you feel kind of lightheaded and normally if you were just following your instincts the way we usually do throughout 11 months of the year, you'd probably look around for a drink of water.
But during Ramadan, you don't. You use your consciousness and your willpower to not be a slave of your body and your physical desires. And as you feel that serious thirst, hunger, lightheadedness, first two days maybe a little bit of a headache, especially if you're withdrawing from caffeine, as I sometimes am.
You start to realize how there's a limit to how much time you really can go without eating and especially drinking water. If you don't have drinking water after a day or two you're in pretty bad shape. I forget what the limit is but you'll die after a pretty limited number of days. And the same is true although you have a lot more days if you don't have any food.
So we're really dependent on the rizq (provision) that Allah provides. We're dependent on the provision that Allah has given us. And fasting makes us aware of that dependence. We realize that if it weren't for all of this abundance that Allah has blessed us with in this beautiful creation…
…Among the first names of Allah is Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, the compassionate, the all merciful. And mercy and compassion being the first two tangible characteristics of Allah that we invoke every day when we pray. When we fast, we're reminded to feel mercy and compassion for those who don't have enough to eat or drink. And unfortunately our world hasn't yet reached the point that there aren't any people like that. Unfortunately there are probably hundreds of millions of people who are undernourished. And we should be figuring out ways to help them and to fix this kind of situation and to give the blessings of Allah to everybody and to try to take care of everybody which is the basic imperative of Islam.
We need to feel that compassion for others and for the less fortunate. And when we fast, we feel what it feels like to be deprived of food and drink. And that helps us to feel that compassion for the needy. And that's a form of God consciousness.
If you don't feel any compassion for people who are suffering, then you're not very conscious of God. Your taqwa level is not very high.
And to the extent that you're more conscious of God and God's mercy and compassion and injunction to our mercy and compassion, you're going to feel that mercy and compassion too. And you're going to want to help the people who are suffering.
So that's another way that fasting brings us closer to Allah. It gives us taqwa or God consciousness.
And finally, there's a third way that fasting helps make us conscious of God, gives us taqwa, and that is that it kind of starves our ego into submission. In normal life, our normal ego, our sense of self, the difference between me and everything else, is something that develops in little babies at a pretty early age. But when they're first born in their very earliest period of life, the baby hardly really even knows the difference between itself and the world. It's all just one.
And then the baby gradually learns to distinguish itself from the world…
…So, when you fast, you're kind of disconnecting from that part of yourself that always wants more, more, more for me, me, me. Because that part of the self is kind of plugged into the appetite. And when you cut off the appetite, you just use your willpower to overcome the power of appetite to turn you into a slave of your hunger and your thirst and your other desires. Your willpower overcomes that.
When we are in a separate ego, we're separate not only from the world around us but from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as well and His tawhid, His absolute oneness. And when we fast and we starve our ego into submission, we then perceive everything without that filter of self, distorting everything. And we see Allah's beautiful creation.
We also hear that we should fast for a prescribed number of days and that if you can't for a reason of hardship you can sort of make up for it by feeding the hungry, but it's better for you to fast, if only you knew. And that final part of this next ayah, which is Surah al-Baqarah ayah 184, is often cited in terms of that last part, that it's better for you if you only knew.
وَاِدْ تَسُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
It's better for you if you only knew.
(It is hard to) sense that it's better to not eat, to undergo this fairly difficult fast of no food, no drink during daylight hours or even from the first light of dawn until sunset. It feels like kind of a difficult thing to do.
It's not that we're being told to do it to make us miserable. It's not a punishment. We don't really have much of a divine punishment complex in terms of just being a human being on this earth. We're not being punished.
Ultimately there is a reward and a punishment. There's the fire in the garden based on how well we do in the test of this life. And that comes in the afterlife, that reward or punishment.
But the fasting is not like a punishment for something. We're not expiating a sin or anything like that.
''Science Will Tell You That Fasting Is Better For You Than Not Fasting''
Drinking booze has, there's some good in it and there's some bad or khamr of the wine. There's some good and there's some bad but the bad outweighs the good. Well it turns out that that's pretty much what science says now about alcohol. That it produces a feeling of euphoria but it's very short lasting. And when it goes away in just like a half an hour for somebody takes a drink of alcohol, they're worse off than they were before.
Just like with the case with alcohol, the scientific research has started to catch up with the reality that was described in the Quran 1400 years ago. The reality is that fasting is good for you physically. It's obviously good for weight control and part of the reason for that is that it leads to more growth hormone. And the growth hormone tends to give you more muscle mass and more physical bodily strength and ability. It makes your body younger and indeed that's just one of the ways that fasting slows the aging process.
But if those people had just listened to the Koran, 1400 years ago everybody would have started fasting because it told us that it's better for you.
And of course it's better for you spiritually as well. We just went over some of the reasons for that, talking about the verse about it's prescribed for you so that you will have God consciousness or taqwa.
So Ramadan is the month when the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the standard to distinguish between right and wrong. That prescription is for humanity. It's actually everybody should be joining us in this fast. It's not just something for the Muslim community that there's no point in anybody else doing.
No, this is actually something that's good for you
So, ya Allah, please do bless us with the chance to share the benefits of the fast of Ramadan with everyone.

Press TV
Joining us on this edition of the News Review, we have Professor of International Relations at Lebanese University, Mr. Jamal Waqim, who's joining us from the Lebanese capital Beirut. Also from Saidia, Morocco, we have political commentator Kevin Barrett. Gentlemen, welcome to the program.
Let's start off with Mr. Waqeem. We're listening to the comments by U.S. President Joe Biden, who claims that the Israelis have put forth a rational offer. I want to get your thoughts on that. How do you read into those comments by the U.S. president? And the main question here is, can the Israelis even be trusted in such a situation?
Jamal Waqim: Well, of course, Biden is supporting Israel ever since it launched its aggression against Gaza. And he's supporting all its political stances and initiatives. He wants Israel to be victorious in this aggression against the resistance in the Gaza Strip. And that's why he's endorsing all conditions and prerequisites for such an objective to be achieved. This is how we can understand Biden's comments.
In this regard, of course, Israel cannot be trusted. Throughout the Arab-Israeli struggle, it was only checked by power and by force, not by any negotiations or any agreement. So that's why I believe that these conditions that have been put on the table by Israel are not acceptable to the resistance in Gaza, and this will drag on the conflict in the Gaza Strip, leading to more and more civilians being killed by the Israeli army.
Mr. Kevin Barrett, I want to get your thoughts as well. Do you agree with our guest in Beirut that these conditions that are being put forth by the Israelis in Washington are not acceptable? Why is that? And do you also see that Washington and the Tel Aviv regime just keep kicking the ball down further down the field?
Kevin Barrett: Yeah, I think he's right. The Israelis are looking for a so-called “temporary ceasefire” which would allow for all of their hostages to be released. And then after that ceasefire is over, they would be free to continue committing genocide and pulverizing Gaza without any restraint.
Obviously that's a non-starter. The only way the Palestinian resistance can reasonably be expected to release all the Israelis in its custody is if there's going to be a permanent ceasefire, not a temporary one. And that's the main sticking point here, it seems.
The Americans, unfortunately, are seeking an Israeli victory. They are on the side of the Zionists. Biden's administration is surrounded by Zionists. And they don't want to see their side lose. They also have political problems, though, because Biden will very likely lose the next presidential election if there hasn't been some kind of durable peace.
Now, what he would like to see, I suppose, would be some sort of imaginary Israeli victory. But there's no such thing. That can't happen. There's no prospective path to the Israelis defeating Hamas and getting their people back alive. That's not going to happen in any Israeli “victory scenario.”
But they have these delusions, Netanyahu does, because all the other alternatives involve Netanyahu leaving power and very likely entering prison. And the Americans are really just hostages of the Zionists, and so they entertain these lunatic fantasies.
Ultimately, the Americans are going to have to put pressure on the Zionists to accept some kind of permanent cessation to this genocide. That's the only reasonable way this can end, and that's the only way that Biden can preserve his chances of being reelected.
Professor Waqim, let's talk about the hypocritical stance that we're seeing from the United States. On one hand, they're showing that they're pushing for a ceasefire, but on the other hand, they veto three United Nations Security Council resolutions for a humanitarian ceasefire. There's also been this notion circulating that the bloodshed could stop with just one phone call from the US president. How do you view this inconsistency and hypocritical stance by Washington?
Jamal Waqim: I believe that Biden administration fully supports the Israeli aggression. But at the same time they don't want to lose the Arab votes and the Muslim votes in the United States, especially since they are running in elections. So that's why on one hand they give Israel a free hand to continue its aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza, and at the same time they play this card, or let's say they try to appear as if they are trying to call for a ceasefire or an agreement in order to win over the Arab and the Muslim voters in the United States, especially since Biden is in a very dire situation right now. He's not being able to withstand the pressure by the Arab and the Muslim lobby in the United States. And at the same time, he's not faring well against his opponent, Donald Trump. All expectations say that he will lose the upcoming elections due to be held in November. And this is how we can understand the hypocritical stance of the Biden administration in this regard.
Kevin Barrett, your thoughts on that issue as well. The U.S. hypocrisy. Our guest, Professor Waqim, believes that this facade that the Biden administration is putting on with attempts and struggling to get a ceasefire is to keep the Arab and Muslim votes in an election year. But if that's the case, that ship has set sail and it's departing fast, isn't it?
That's right. They just had the Super Tuesday vote yesterday, which is the biggest primary election voting day in the United States. And approximately 20 percent of the Democratic voters in the state of Minnesota voted uncommitted. So that was even more than in Michigan, the key swing state, last week. So the voters are sending a very strong message to Biden that continued tolerance or even all-out support, as it appears, for this genocide is going to lead to those people not voting for him.
It's kind of mind-boggling that the Zionists have so much power that they can force a sitting U.S. president to essentially guarantee his own failure to be reelected. He would rather face that loss of office than bite the Zionist hand that feeds him. It makes you wonder, what kind of power is that? How do they exert that power?
Some of it is money. It's been estimated that the 50-plus major Jewish groups led by AIPAC and their supporters donate up to half, between a third and half, of the campaign money that flows into American elections. And these are bribes that are basically considered under the euphemism of campaign contributions.
So the money is one big factor. The media is another. The Western media is totally controlled by Zionist Jews. Now, let's be honest and admit that some of them, more and more of them, especially younger Western and especially American Jews, are turning against Israel and its genocide of Palestine. But the fact is that the bulk of the power in that community is very much pro-genocide, pro-Zionism.
And finally, there's organized crime. We've seen American presidents and would-have- been presidents like John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy murdered by the state of Israel along with their people in the American military and intelligence apparatus. Those people are essentially the same people that blew up the buildings on September 11, 2001. So the Zionist presence in organized crime is incredibly important, and we shouldn't forget that anybody who goes up against them is inviting retaliation.
All right, that's all the time we have for this segment of the program. Thanks to my guests, Professor Jamal Waqim joining us from the Lebanese capital Beirut, and also political commentator Kevin Barrett joining us from Saidia, Morocco.
PS: Regarding yesterday’s post “Why Are Arab Regimes So Impotent in the Face of Zionist Barbarism?” here is an excellent contribution from my once and (insha’allah) future radio guest Daniel Haqiqatjou.
