This Is The Most Blistering Takedown Of Zionism You Will Ever Hear SHUT UP AND LISTEN AMERICA (And the world) This was written by Palestinian author and human rights activist Susan Abulhawa, my sister, who possesses a much sharper vocabulary than my own, and a much better personal understanding of the #Evil committed by the #Jewish State of #Israel I stand in awe of her words, and the sentiment behind them! This WILL be mirrored on my channel without a doubt! I detest the #Zionist murderers as much as she does, her sentiments could easily be my own SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE! 86,381 views Dec 1, 2024 UNITED KINGDOM The Oxford Union debate over Israel hosted the most standout takedown of Israel and Zionism you will have ever heard. It is brilliant. Right, so sometimes you come across a piece of writing or an oratory so profound and so exacting that it literally stops you in your tracks. That is how this particular speech I’ve come across today has left me and I make no apologies for this video being a little longer than usual as a result. It was breathtaking. To be able to write a speech that is so quietly and calmly eviscerating, I think is more powerful than a 100 news articles or political commentaries covering atrocity and I absolutely had to share this with you, shared on social media as it was today by Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley. This has come from Palestinian author and human rights activist Susan Abulhawa, the author of Mornings in Jenin, a story of life set in the aftermath of the 1967 6 day war and a book I now plan on getting as a matter of essential reading. This speech was made at the recent Oxford Union debate, a debate which actually descended into chaos as many students sought to leave the moment they became aware that a former IDF spy was present to speak on behalf of Israel in a debate where the motion presented was ‘This House believes Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide’ Zionists were apoplectic with rage when the vote came through, passing by 278 to 59 in favour and despite many people speaking in favour of the motion eloquently, emotionally and forcefully, Abulhawa’s contribution is one everyone has to hear. Right, so Susan Abulhawa’s speech to the Oxford Union, speaking in favour of their motion which passed by 278 votes to 59 in favour of believing Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide I think is probably the most powerful statement I’ve ever read in response not just to the events of the last 15 months but long before that too, the daughter of Palestinians expelled by Israel following the 1967 war, this is her history, her heritage and is the founder of Playgrounds for Palestine, an NGO that builds playgrounds for children in Palestine, as well as UN refugee camps in Lebanon. She was invited to speak in this debate at the Oxford Union and she absolutely did just that and frankly after hearing this only the hardest hearted of Zionists could possibly have voted against the motion. ‘Addressing the challenge of what to do about the indigenous inhabitants of the land Chaim Weizman, a Russian Jew, said to the World Zionist Congress in 1921 that Palestinians were akin to “the rocks of Judea, obstacles that had to be cleared on a difficult path." David Gruen, a Polish Jew, who changed his name to David Ben Gurion to sound relevant to the region, said. "We must expel Arabs and take their places” There are thousands of such conversations among the early zionists who plotted and implemented the violent colonization of Palestine and the annihilation of her native people. But they were only partially successful, murdering or ethnically cleansing 80% of Palestinians, which meant that 20% of us remained, an enduring obstacle to their colonial fantasies, which became the subject of their obsessions in the decades that followed, especially after conquering what remained of Palestine in 1967. https://youtu.be/m4snHu0SOm0

Paralogisms are essentially distortions of logical thought processes that lead to incorrect conclusions, e.g., by misrepresenting or discrediting evidence or facts. Paramoralisms are moral substitutions, making evil seem good, and good evil. This can take the form of “paranormal indignation,” which is emotionally infectious and can turn people against the innocent or the virtuous. Both methods block an average person’s mind from being able to perceive the truth. https://ponerology.substack.com/p/twenty-five-predatory-tactics

How to avoid manipulation Manipulation can be sneaky, but you can work to avoid it with these strategies: Know the signs: People who manipulate often exhibit similar types of behaviors. Watch out for people who are overly friendly, make empty promises, or try to make you feel guilty, Be aware of your emotions: Most manipulation methods involve evoking strong emotions. “People who use manipulation often play on your emotions, but remember that you can’t let them control how you feel,” Stay calm: It can be important to have self-control and not lose your cool when dealing with manipulative people. “Don’t let them rattle you or get under your skin,” Draughn explained. Avoid personalizing: Even though manipulation can be hurtful, try to internalize that this behavior has nothing to do with you. “Manipulation has more to do with the other person and their inability to meet their own needs in a healthy way,” Listen: While it doesn’t feel good when someone attempts to manipulate you, being confrontational can inflame the situation. Drake suggested trying to listen with empathy so that you can identify their needs or wants. Respect your boundaries: After listening to the other person and feeling that you’re being manipulated, it’s important to hold healthy limits and boundaries in check. “If you respond respectfully, yet assertively, and [don’t] give in to the manipulation, over time, they will generally see you as someone their tactics don’t work on and will move on,” Tell someone you trust: It can be emotionally draining and hurtful to deal with someone who’s manipulative. Talking with a close friend or family member about what you’re experiencing can be healing. “Close friends and family can often give you great feedback and advice, and it’s helpful to have a listening ear when dealing with someone who manipulates,” https://psychcentral.com/health/tactics-manipulators-use-to-win-and-confuse-you#stages-of-manipulation

The Most Frighteningly Deranged Figure of WW2 - The Jungle King Herman Perry’s heart hammered against his ribcage. He was cornered. Officer Harold Cady and two imposing US servicemen loomed before him, their silhouettes stark against the dense Burmese jungle. Perry’s mind raced as he confronted the grim reality of being taken back into the depths of the notorious Ledo military Stockade. Delirious on poppy, emotionally shattered, and driven by a fierce determination to evade the nightmarish conditions of the Stockade at any cost, Perry did the unthinkable and trained his rifle on Cady. To Perry, the thought of returning to that forced-labor, malaria-ridden hell, where he and other prisoners languished at the bottom of the pecking order, was inconceivable. In a broken shriek, Perry said: (QUOTE) “Get back!... Get Back!” Cady stepped forward anyway. Perry was shaking now, begging: (QUOTE) “Lieutenant, don’t come up on me.” Having fled the Stockade after his 90-day sentence for insubordination was unjustly extended, Perry now felt the oppressive weight of the sweltering jungle air, its humidity squeezing out the last remnants of sense he had left. As tears spilled down his face, he fired once, then one more time, and ran into the maddening embrace of the jungle towards a terrifying head-hunter tribe. The Greatest and most insane manhunt of World War 2 was on, and Perry would become a Jungle King…

Angelina Carini had her dreams crushed today. She wasn’t just fighting for herself, but for her late father. Here she is emotionally telling her story: “I wanted to win at all costs, just for my father.” JK Rowling said it best: “A young female boxer has just had everything she’s worked and trained for snatched away because you allowed a male to get in the ring with her. You’re a disgrace, your ‘safeguarding’ is a joke and #Paris24 will be forever tarnished by the brutal injustice done to Carini.” She’s right. The Paris Olympics is a complete and utter disgrace.

I guess I’m just in a pensive mood tonight. I was thinking about all the 💩the channels are putting out in the last few days. They keep pushing how the west needs a WW3 because of their financial disasters and economies…so those who have businesses to push, they need to keep you in a state of fear to keep you buying!!! Putin doesn’t need a WW3…overall, he and Russia are doing very well. He doesn’t need to the nuke the USA all he needs to do is wait them out and they will come down on their own. He seems to be much more mentally and emotionally balanced than any other leaders. I don’t see much of any positive news for over 4+ years now. I need some and I think we all do. I’m trying to give some positive thinking to lift all of our spirits!!! Thank you for listening and I hope it gives you another side from the fear mongers!!!

I would like to introduce you to a possibly revolutionary musical development - classical music in 432 hertz, AND correctly or "naturally" tuned (so called "open fifths")! Just listen for yourself - IMHO VERY well invested 20 minutes - please use your best headphones (holberg suite): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy-iQG5QT7c Isn't this exquisite? I think, if you can listen through this and remain emotionally unaffected, you are probably a stone ;-) (or have VERY bad sound equipment) So why is 432 hertz AND the correct tuning so important? Read about it here: http://432hz-orchestra.com/en/about/432-chamber-orchestra/ The difference to other, "wrongly tuned" versions of the holberg suite from my point of view aka my personal impression: ========================================== ...your version of the holberg suite just oozes emotion, it touches the heart, it “has something” all other versions lack, at least the ones I heard so far and I listened to many by now...your version just seems to directly touch the heart and the “emotional content” that the music is supposed to carry gets through unfiltered, while the other versions somehow seem filtered, they “dont get through”, as if they have some sort of veil covered over them, or as if there is some sort of “barrier” in them. Some of these other recordings might have been “technically” a –>littlebit<—superior to your version, at least partly, but still, this “technical perfection” could NOT lift this “mysterious veil”!! So, I can listen through other versions and can remain emotionally quite unaffected, but I CANNOT do so with your version, and I think, this “says something”... ========================================== Here an interesting description how Ivan Yanakiev fell for 432 Hertz music: ========================================== The first time Ivan Yanakiev heard an instrument tuned to 432 Hertz, he says, it was like he'd heard God speak. In the men's dressing room at the Musical Drama Theatre Konstantin Kisimov in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Yanakiev, a young, National Academy-schooled conductor, had his friend, Velimir, tune his cello down eight Hz from the standard A=440Hz. They were arranging an experiment. Velimir, "a skilled cellist," Yanakiev told me, started in on the prelude to Bach's "Cello Suite No. 1 in G major." "So, la, si, so, si so, si, so/ So, la, si, so, si, so, si, so," Yanakiev sings to illustrate. It's one of the most often performed and well known pieces by Bach, but in that backroom rendition, transposed not even a half of a piano key lower, the song sounded fresh and exciting. "It was a channelling of pure light and love that vibrated through the whole room," he said. "It was new. It was brilliant." In November 2013, along with Alexandros Geralis, Yanakiev cofounded the 432 Orchestra. The group is comprised of 12 string players, some borrowed from the best professional ensembles in the country, and is led by the two conductors, all of whom work for no more than goodwill to explore and profess the power of that particular frequency. So far, they've made two recordings and they're fundraising to take their show on the road, hoping to concert throughout Europe. Yanakiev is resolute: "432 Hz is a vibration that has to be spread around the world." For him, it's not just pleasant to the ear; it's a profound key capable of unlocking mysteries on the level of consciousness itself. ============== So - if you realize it or not, since ca. the 1950s we might have been plunged into a dark age of music, because of the advent of 440 hertz music and the "modern tuning" system!!! IMHO they STOLE the music from us, they CRIPPLED our music!!!! This is why I think it is SO important to support this particular orchestra. Please become a patron at patreon.com, https://www.patreon.com/432chamberorchestra or just search for 432 there, or donate at their main site! Please note that the 432 chamber orchestra is the FIRST AND ONLY chamber orchestra IN THE WORLD which has tuned its instruments to 432 Hertz AND uses a "natural" tuning system!!! If this orchestra becomes successful, it might very well inspire other orchestras to switch to 432 hertz and a better, more natural tuning system, which might lead to a revival of classical music as a whole (classical music is currently in STEEP decline!!!), and as a result all music might somewhen be switched to 432 Hertz and better, more natural tuning systems, which might lead to the dawn of a new golden age of music and have a very positive influence on society as a whole!!! This is why I think there is a lot more at stake here than just the fate of "another chamber orchestra"! Please forward this information if you think this is important :-) Thank you! P.S.:Why is correct tuning so important? Please listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOFlvUJHreg There exists a book about correct tuning, called "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should Care)" by Ross W. Duffin: https://www.amazon.com/Equal-Temperament-Ruined-Harmony-Should/dp/0393334201 Please note the title says RUINED - and not "changed for the worse" or something - RUINED!!!!! P.P.S.: Please note that 99,9999% of the so called 432 Hertz music for example on youtube was just slowed down by a computer, or "repitched". But it is not THAT simple...ALL instruments have to be tuned in 432 hertz AND tuned in a natural tuning system BEFORE recording, and THEN it must be recorded "originally" if it should be "REAL" 432 hertz music!!! I am not saying that ALL 432 hertz music on youtube is lacking or "bad" - SOME pieces are REALLY good, even if they were created by a computer or "synthetically", for example on a keyboard and reprocessed by a computer etc..

May 6, 1937 – The airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible ever built and the pride of Nazi Germany, bursts into flames upon touching its mooring mast in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 36 passengers and crewmembers. Frenchman Henri Giffard constructed the first successful airship in 1852. His hydrogen-filled blimp carried a three-horsepower steam engine that turned a large propeller and flew at a speed of six miles per hour. The rigid airship, often known as the “zeppelin” after the last name of its innovator, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, was developed by the Germans in the late 19th century. Unlike French airships, the German ships had a light framework of metal girders that protected a gas-filled interior. However, like Giffard’s airship, they were lifted by highly flammable hydrogen gas and vulnerable to explosion. Large enough to carry substantial numbers of passengers, one of the most famous rigid airships was the Graf Zeppelin, a dirigible that traveled around the world in 1929. In the 1930s, the Graf Zeppelin pioneered the first transatlantic air service, leading to the construction of the Hindenburg, a larger passenger airship. On May 3, 1937, the Hindenburg left Frankfurt, Germany, for the first of 10 scheduled journey’s across the Atlantic to Lakehurst’s Navy Air Base. On its maiden voyage, the Hindenburg, stretching 804 feet from stern to bow, carried 36 passengers and crew of 61. While attempting to moor at Lakehurst, the airship suddenly burst into flames, probably after a spark ignited its hydrogen core. Rapidly falling 200 feet to the ground, the hull of the airship incinerated within seconds. Thirteen passengers, 21 crewmen, and 1 civilian member of the ground crew lost their lives, and most of the survivors suffered substantial injuries. Radio announcer Herb Morrison, who came to Lakehurst to record a routine voice-over for an NBC newsreel, immortalized the Hindenberg disaster in a famous on-the-scene description in which he emotionally declared, “Oh, the humanity!” The recording of Morrison’s commentary was immediately flown to New York, where it was aired as part of America’s first coast-to-coast radio news broadcast. Lighter-than-air passenger travel rapidly fell out of favor after the Hindenberg disaster, and no rigid airships survived World War II.
