“Ukraine aid” is Retribution for Russia’s “Anti-Israel” Position

by Claudiu Secara

Is the 61 billion dollars aid to Ukraine a desperate attempt to salvage what’s left of Ukraine? No, it is rather a desperate attempt to intimidate Russia and to force Russia to support Israel’s genocidal massacre in Gaza and the West Bank.

On March 28, for the first time, Russia raised the issue of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and declared it unacceptable, including saying “Israel’s targeting of civilians and the Western acceptance of it is incredible hypocrisy!”

On April 13, Russian FM Lavrov had a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. During the conversation, Lavrov again condemned the Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate, noting that any encroachments on diplomatic missions and consulates are unacceptable.

On April 15, Russian UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya said: Iran’s attack on Israel did not happen in a vacuum – it was a response to the shameful inaction of the UN Security Council and added:

▪️ Iran said it has exercised its right to self-defense

▪️ Iranian media has revealed what kind of weapons were used in the attack on Israel 

▪️ ‘Just a slap in the face’: Iran’s retaliatory strike against Israel merely a preview of its full capabilities 

Then, on April 19, following Israel’s bombing of Iran’s consulate in Syria, he said: “Israel’s desire and goal is to shift the attention of the world community from what is happening in Gaza to Iran as a nuclear threat. — Iran does not have nuclear weapons, this is confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency”.

Finally, Russia warned Israel not to escalate the conflict with Iran and forced Israel not to attack Iran, following Iran’s devastating show of force against Israel.

On April 19, the US Congress approved $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel, etc.

Any connection here? Yes, I think there is a connection — but not between Russia winning the war in Ukraine, and the aid package to save Ukraine. No. The connection is between Israel losing the war in Gaza and the war against Iran, and the desperate attempt to stop Russia from antagonizing Israel.

Was that the role played by the ultra-zionist evangelical Mike Johnson? He couldn’t care less about Ukraine, but his constituency requires his full-throated support for Israel.

The escalating threat against Russia is not in support of Ukraine but it is in support of Israel who has miscalculated its attempt at ethnic cleansing and is more and more isolated by the world. This world-wide condemnation is in no small part due to Russia’s anti-Western, anti-Anglozionist stand.

Some Thoughts on American Immigration Population

From the Water-Cooler:

Out-performing American blacks is not remotely impressive, at least in America.

In any case, yes, culture matters. Thomas Sowell has pointed out that both American blacks and Southern whites are basically infected with “redneck culture” derived from the Scotch-Irish in the British Isles, with various malignant attitudes and behavioral patterns.

However, genes matter too. African immigrants to the US (like those from South Asia, by the way) are heavily selected for IQ by the heavy expense and cognitive burden of attaining the credentials and income necessary to get a visa, permission to work here, and a flight. We’re skimming the cream to an extreme degree, getting a drastically unrepresentative slice of those countries that is distorting our perception of the vast bulk of those people (“surely if Dr. Malik is so smart, than all the other people still in Pakistan or Ghana must be brilliant too! Let’s let them in by the millions!”)

Until the post-Mao era, 20th century Chinese suffered drastic malnutrition, and those who did not die like flies by the tens of millions in the various famines and horrible wars had their growth stunted. Tall men in such a country would be extremely rare, but in such a vast land, there were enough for Mao to dragoon into a ceremonial honor guard of giants to impress Nixon for his historic 1972 visit. It would have been idiotic for Nixon to have concluded that the 1970s Chinese are a tall people from that sight.

On top of which, our skimming the cream of Africa and South Asia is to the detriment of both ourselves and their areas of origin. Because not only do those places desperately need their cognitive elite far more than we do, we, by undercutting our own advanced degree earners with cheap Third World knock-off imported people, do ourselves damage in the big picture and long run. White American med and law and engineering school grads who are unemployed or underemployed, only to have their plight dismissed with withering scorn, brutal contempt, and zero empathy, serve as a harsh example to other whites not to bother with academically difficult courses of study in the absence of rewarding careers to follow. Then, of course, the resulting “shortage” of med school students and such is used as an excuse to flood us with even more Third Worlders .. “jobs Americans won’t do!” in an endless accelerating spiral.

On top of which is long term damage to our politics and cultural unity. The first generation is usually grateful to be allowed to be here, and if not enthusiastically pro-America and pro-West is at least focused on quietly earning a living and keeping their heads down. But their children and so forth are quickly radicalized into heavily hostile, alienated, left types relentlessly working against the interests of the core white population, against the national security of the nation as a whole, against the history, heritage, heroes, holidays, and texture and flavor of daily life.

On top of THAT is the phenomenon of regression to the mean. Thus, while a tall Japanese is more likely than other Japanese to have tall children, he is still less likely to do so than an equally tall white man. Put another way, a tall Japanese, coming from a shorter ethnic group, has a non-literal but de facto “tug of gravity” pulling his descendants down to a shorter level than a tall Dutchman or Dinka, coming from taller ethnic groups.

That’s why, in the long (multi generational) run, high-IQ blacks and South Asians are not going to have the same beneficial effect on the economy etc as high-IQ whites and East Asians. The descendants are not going to all be as smart.

Finally, it is highly questionable just how intelligent these imported Third Worlders truly are. Does anyone really think that universities in black Africa are as rigorous? That universities in the Mideast South Asia are freer of rampant cheating and corruption? Amid extremely intense pressure to do diversity hires, the incentive to just take in anyone with a nominal advanced degree from Durka Durka U is overwhelming.

Is the Confiscation of Russian Assets Imminent? Probably Not

by Sergey Markov

The law on the confiscation of Russian assets has been adopted by the US Congress. But this law does not make much difference for several reasons.
1. The law does not oblige the president to confiscate Russian assets. It only allows the president to confiscate them.
2. The general problem remains the same: if the United States actually confiscates Russian assets, then confidence in the dollar and American financial instruments will inevitably decrease in the world. And the United States would lose much more than the value of the confiscated assets.
3. Russian assets in the US amount to only 5 billion, whereas the EU has 210 billion. That is, only 2.5% of the blocked Russian assets are in the United States.
4. The main goal of the United States is not to confiscate Russian assets itself, but to force the EU to confiscate Russian assets in the EU. And the new law’s aim is to push the EU towards that.
5. But the EU is very much afraid of confiscating Russian assets. Afraid of Russian retaliatory confiscations. But the main thing is that it is afraid that after the theft of 200 billion dollars, confidence in financial instruments in the euro area will simply collapse. And the EU will lose trillions. And this will lead to a financial crisis. And the financial crisis will lead to an economic and political crisis.

Judaization of Reason and Science in the US

ISRAEL SUPPORT EXPLAINED: “Do you want Columbia University to be cursed by God?” What god? What covenant? Tribal fairy tells from the stone age as the scientific principles of the 21st Century in the US universities and the basis of the public policy in the Congress of the United States? — Hear it and believe it.

On the one side, US Congressman Rick Allen of Georgia from the pro-Israel Bible Belt, and on the other side universities like Columbia,  very strong proponents of the LGBTQ agenda … what does the Israeli fundamentalist god say about that? 

Will Columbia University be cursed anyway … by the tribal god of the Israelis?

The High Cost of Knowing the Truth

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
Another person who has discovered the truth about how evil our U.S. Government is, chose public suicide by lighting himself on fire yesterday, rather than living with that knowledge.
His name is Max Azzarello, and he died earlier today.
This is the second time someone has committed suicide in public by lighting themselves on fire in recent weeks, as I covered the story of Aaron Bushnell, a member of the U.S. Air Force, who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. several weeks ago. See:

The High Cost of Following the Truth

While Aaron Bushnell was distraught over the truth that our government was committing genocide against the Palestinians while supporting the Satanic Zionist Jews, Max Azzarello, according to his own writings, was led to despair over the financial system and its imminent collapse, centered around what he called the “cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme.”
He made it very clear that both political parties were guilty, and yet, probably due to the fact that he committed suicide in New York close to the court where Trump was being tried, everyone in the media tried to portray him through their own political lens, with the Corporate Legacy Media mostly referring to him as a crazy “conspiracy theorist”, while the Right Wing alternative media either did not cover it all, or in some cases called him an “Anarcho-Communist” with commenters referring to him as a “libtard” suffering from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).
Almost NONE of the media sources I looked at, including the foreign media, even bothered to link to his last post on Substack, so that people could read for themselves what he wrote to explain why he was committing suicide.
ZeroHedge News, which used to be considered a mostly Libertarian financial news source, but in recent months has jumped on board the Trump – MAGA train (with at least some of their reporters), was perhaps the poorest example of journalism I saw over the dozens of articles I read about Max Azzarello.

Man Who Self-Immolated Near Trump Trial Was Anti-Fascist, Warned Of “World Coup” And Wanted To Start “F*cking Revolution”
Azzarello was reportedly active in the Anarcho-Communist forum on Reddit,

He also took a photograph with former President Bill Clinton.

Full article.

Notice how ZeroHedge completely ignores the fact that Max Azzarello clearly stated that both sides of the political spectrum were complicit in these crimes, and even attacked the Clintons who were named as defendants in a Pro Se lawsuit he took out against them.
Spinning this man’s death in a political direction is the only thing those in media are concerned about (e.g., ZeroHedge is mostly very pro cryptocurrency), which is probably why none of them linked to what the man actually wrote himself, which at the time of my writing this, is still up on his Substack Page.
I am going to republish it here so you can read what this man wrote himself, rather than all the media B.S. about what they want you to believe about him.
I have read it, and everything he writes is true.
It is unfortunate that he used certain words that tend to divide people politically, like “fascist,” but as I have written numerous times over the past few years, “fascisim” and “communism” are just two sides to the same coin, as both ideologies, developed by the Satanic Jewish Freemasons back in the 18th and 19th centuries, lead to totalitarianism and tyranny.
What Max Azzarello did by committing suicide is an act of cowardice, unfortunately, and I know this very well, as I am a suicide survivor myself, and am very familiar with the lies Satan sows in people’s minds to believe that suicide is the only option left when one comes to know the truth about this world.
Here is what I wrote when I covered Aaron Bushnell’s suicide:

As a suicide survivor myself, I am very familiar with the lies and tricks that Satan uses to pollute a person’s mind when one comes in contact with the truth, and when one begins to understand that life and this world is nothing like what we were taught it is.
It can drive a person to despair, wrongly thinking that only the wicked, evil powers of this world are in control, and that faced with the choices in front of us with such knowledge, that the best choice is to just end it all, as no amount of human effort will ever change this evil.
There are no “white hats” or “good” people that will come in and save the day, like what happens in most of the movies that have been produced in Hollywood over the years since the beginning of TV and the mass media.
Yes, I’ve been in that spot quite a few times, and when it happened to me at the young age of 17, I gave in and believed the Lie, thinking suicide and physical death was my best option.
Thankfully, God spared me and did not allow me to kill myself, communicating to me that I just needed to be patient, because he had a plan for my life, as he does for everyone who believes in him and trusts in him.
After I surrendered my life to God to be used by him as he pleases, those moments where I was tempted to feel helpless and full of despair have returned often, but I have learned how to get through them now. (Full article.)

As to his research on cryptocurrency, I have been warning the public for a couple of years now that cryptocurrency is fool’s gold, and a trap. One thing that is NEVER discussed in the debate over the pros and cons of cryptocurrency, is the fact that cryptocurrency needs 2 things to exist: The Internet and electricity.
If either one goes down, your cryptocurrency becomes worthless.

I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.

My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.
This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery:
We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.
These claims sound like fantastical conspiracy theory, but they are not. They are proof of conspiracy. If you investigate this mountain of research, you will prove them too. If you learn a great deal about Ponzi schemes, you will discover that our life is a lie. If you follow this story and the links below, you will discover the rotten truth of ‘post-truth America’. You will learn the scariest and stupidest story in world history. And you will realize that we are all in a desperate state of emergency that requires your action.
To my friends and family, witnesses and first responders, I deeply apologize for inflicting this pain upon you. But I assure you it is a drop in the bucket compared to what our government intends to inflict.
Because these words are true, this is an act of revolution.

Last March, a billionaire named Peter Thiel started a bank run on Silicon Valley Bank. I knew enough about Thiel that I found this incredibly suspicious: My hunch was that this was intentional, though I couldn’t fathom why.
I began investigating online, and quickly found cryptocurrency’s fingerprints all over it. The bank run occurred just days after Silvergate Bank – which catered almost exclusively to crypto companies – collapsed. Meanwhile, several crypto cheerleaders were all over financial media warning of a regional banking crisis, and nobody in media was addressing the clear crypto connections.
I dug deep into the financials of Thiel’s venture capital firm Founders Fund and eventually uncovered the following, all proven many times over.

  • Cryptocurrency is our first planetary multi-trillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. It was expressly created for this purpose by a laundry list of rich and powerful people out of Stanford/Silicon Valley and Harvard/Facebook.
  • The March 2023 bank failures were all intentional: the banks were used to move out stolen Ponzi money. This signals that they’re no longer dumping cash in to keep the cryptocurrency Ponzi afloat, and that it will soon go insolvent, as all Ponzis must.
  • When the Ponzi scheme goes insolvent, it will take down half the stock market with it: The perpetrators used their major companies to pipe into the blockchain so they could funnel money out from the crypto exchanges. This includes Google, Tesla, Apple, PayPal, Facebook, Disney, Walmart, Target, InBev, Zoom, and countless others.
  • It is a Ponzi scheme so large that it created global inflation, which is why the price of Bitcoin has been a remarkable leading indicator for inflation rates. Victims who bought crypto don’t realize their money has already been stolen, so the money gets double-counted by the victims and the criminals who stole it.
  • As it turns out, our elites are awash in Ponzi schemes. Stanford’s StartX.com investment fund and Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Program for Evolutionary Dynamics’ he ran at Harvard are both fake-science Ponzi factories that these schools have invested billions in: They are filled with fraudulent companies that use smoke and mirrors to promise miraculous new technology, but always collapse while the perpetrators only get richer.
  • Funneling trillions of dollars in stolen cash through the stock market created the largest stock-market anomaly in history. The stock chart signature of a Ponzi scheme is a massive increase (while they stack up cash) and then a massive fall (as they funnel out the stolen cash). This chart shape appeared in all the companies listed above. In order to explain the massive anomaly, our criminal government unleashed COVID on the world and told us these were the “stay at home stocks.”


Ponzi schemes are vicious beasts, and cryptocurrency is history’s largest Ponzi by orders of magnitude. It could best be described as an economic doomsday device, intentionally made to shatter the world economy.
The U.S. government is fully involved in this totalitarian con: To illustrate its bipartisan support, I’ll note that nearly every participant of the Clinton Global Initiative has ties to cryptocurrency, while two of the biggest tech VCs who participated are Trump associates Josh Kushner and Anthony Scaramucci.
To better understand our form of government, I will point you to one of the most astonishing pieces of stand-alone evidence I’ve found: Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton’s 1988 DNC speech where he nominated Mike Dukakis for president against George H.W. Bush. The speech is a vile, mean-spirited roast of Dukakis that makes no sense whatsoever: For Clinton to ruthlessly attack a member of his own party should have been political suicide, and he repeatedly mocks Dukakis’ noble and earnest qualities.
Notably, actor Rob Lowe, who was supporting Dukakis, was victim of a teen sex blackmail operation at the DNC that year. Since we know Clinton is a close associate with teen sex blackmail artist Jeffrey Epstein, we can suddenly make perfect sense of the nonsensical speech by applying this lens: Bill Clinton is a cocky mob boss who blackmailed Mike Dukakis because Dukakis thought his job was to help the public. He teases out the future public revelation that Kitty Dukakis drank rubbing alcohol, and offers a strange anecdote about the crack epidemic that reveals he is an exceedingly proud drug runner.
What does this revelation tell us? That our government is conning us completely. That Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush’s side, and that the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on. When they present themselves in public, they are acting as characters that are against one another, practicing kayfabe as wrestlers do.
As it turns out, we have a secret kleptocracy: Both parties are run by financial criminals whose only goals are to divide, deceive, and bleed us dry. They divide the public against itself and blame the other party while everything gets worse and more expensive and handful of people take all the money.
Since it is fully parasitic, a secret kleptocracy is an incredibly unstable form of government – left to its own devices, it can only lead to fascism or failed state.

One of the key findings of this research is that Harvard University is one of the largest organized crime fronts in history, which is how they churn out billionaires – it’s a major hub of this sprawling criminal network.
As it turns out, dozens of the writers of The Simpsons went to Harvard. So I asked myself the question: If The Simpsons served the interests of organized crime, how would it do so?
Well, it offers a dysfunctional family suffering from moral decay, a community incapable of solving its problems, a worker drone who slaves away for an evil billionaire, and cathartic laughs for our poor collective circumstances.
There are some notable specifics as it relates to this research, too: In Marge vs. The Monorail, the townsfolk are too oafish and divided to invest in the town’s needs (fix Main Street) and fall for the charms of a dazzling showman with a bogus monorail Ponzi scheme. When we know that the show is closely linked to an organization that invests billions of dollars in Ponzi factories, this becomes quite damning.
In Lisa the Iconoclast, Lisa discovers that town founder Jebediah Springfield was a secret criminal con artist, and that the townsfolk’s lives are a lie. Realizing this is an important discovery, she desperately tries to get the townsfolk to listen to her. But they meet her with hostility, apathy, disbelief, and partisanship and she fails to get through to them. Ultimately, she realizes the town is so far gone that perhaps it’s better for them to be lied to by con artists, and she keeps the secret to herself.
And here I’ve been, like Lisa Simpson, desperately trying to get friends, family, and the public to believe the proof of a totalitarian con I’m trying to show them, and they’ve turned away with hostility, apathy, disbelief, and partisanship.
And so, we realize the criminal truth of The Simpsons: Our elites are telling us that our eroding collective circumstances are our own fault, and we can’t do anything about it, while they steal the American Dream from us. It is, for lack of a more elegant word, brainwashing.

Lastly, we string these major discoveries together: Cryptocurrency is an economic doomsday device; our government is a secret kleptocracy; The Simpsons exists to brainwash us. From there, the only research we need is critical thinking and we’re able to piece together the true story of our circumstances.
Consider America since 1988: Institutions like healthcare and universities have become parasitic in their skyrocketing prices. News media tells us to be angry and tribalized. Daytime television warns us of moral decay. Local news tell us to fear our neighbors. The Simpsons tells us we’re too oafish and divided to save the American Dream. Seinfeld tells us to celebrate the assholes and be irritated by all the normal people around us. “Reality” TV tells us that real life is filled with hedonism and strife.
Social media, owned by crypto criminals like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, is flooded with nonsense conspiracy theories and memes reminding us that we are hopeless, helpless, anxious, depressed, ironic, scared, apathetic, escapist, lonely, misguided, and jaded, telling us we can’t do anything but have a laugh at our circumstances.
Liberals mock the hypocrisy of conservatives; conservatives mock the hypocrisy of liberals, and our collective circumstances erode. The left shouts “All Cops Are Bastards,” which ensures they’ll be hated by the police and the public (and flies in the face of leftist theory). The public’s distrust of the government is at an all-time high, but so is the belief that we are helpless to do anything about it.
And with all this, a sharp rise in apocalyptic messaging: Climate change will kill us all; COVID will kill us all; vaccines will kill us all; AI will kill us all – no matter the bubbles we ascribe to, we’re bombarded with existential crises with no solutions. We’ve seen a surge in apocalyptic film, literature, and video games that tell us there is no way out of our poor circumstances but total societal breakdown. Zombies tell us that the public is our enemy. If you go to your nearest convenience store, you can buy a can of water called “Liquid Death.”
This is our rotten farce: For our entire lives, we have been flooded with media designed to slowly steer us into a world where the American Dream was dead, where the public was fully divided against itself, where everybody believed we were powerless to do anything about our worsening circumstances. It is all so they can organize an unprecedented, apocalyptic rug pull on the entire populace as they pivot to fascism, which is perhaps best understood as kleptocracy at the barrel of a gun.
When we piece it all together, we understand the truth: We are in a totalitarian doomsday cult.
Why on earth would our elites do this? There are many reasons, but the simplest is because capitalism is unsustainable, and they knew it: Climate change and resource extraction would catch up eventually. So, they never intended to sustain it. They knew all along that they would gobble up all the wealth they could, and then yank the rug out from under us so they could pivot to a hellish fascist dystopia.

Things escalated wildly in 1988 when former CIA Director George H.W. Bush got the White House, but this plan had been in action long prior:
Why is Stanley Kubrick’s comedy about mutually assured destruction called Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb? Because he was a cocky secret fascist who was getting us to stop worrying and love the bomb. Why did he make A Clockwork Orange? So we’d rejoice at ultra-violence designed to desensitize us to the horrors of the world.
Why were the Manson Family murders crawling with cover-ups and intelligence agents? Because our government wanted to make us fear for our lives and believe that hippies are deranged psychopaths.
Why did Walt Disney produce a fraudulent documentary that told us Lemmings follow each other off cliffs? So we would believe it.
Why did The Beatles tell us to fear the taxman, to scoff at revolution, chase nonsense conspiracy theories, and that happiness is a warm gun? So we would believe it.
Why did Easy Rider tell us that the hippie movement was dead? So we would believe it.
Why did Chinatown end with defeatism in the face of massive corruption? So we would believe it.
Why did George Orwell tell us of a hellish future of totalitarian control that we are powerless to stop? So we would believe it.
Why did Wall Street tell us “greed is good”? So we would believe it.
Why did Do The Right Thing tell us we’re all racially tribalized? So we would believe it.
Why did Simpsons creator Matt Groening make a comic strip called Life in Hell? So we would believe it.
And on, and on, and on, and on. When it comes to any popular media, if you ask yourself the question, “Why would secret doomsday cult kleptocrats want the public to consume this?”, you will find your answers.

This is obviously very bad news, but the biggest lie we’ve been told is that we are powerless. We’ve got one way out of hellworld, and that’s for the public to realize that we’ve been conned completely so we can build a united movement that shatters every lie they’ve told us, mocks this rotten farce as loudly as it deserves, and aims at nothing short of abolishing our criminal government so we can build one that serves the public.
To understand this story is to see right through the con, to become immune to the endless sea of criminal propaganda, and to feel the great joy and power that comes with freedom.
If a small number of people quickly put on these truth-colored glasses, we are in for an unimaginably bright future. If not, we get an apocalypse.
For more information, I’ve put together this booklet that includes other major findings and a map to a sea of proof, along with all the other essays on this site.

I apologize for leaving things so scattered, but this has been an exhausting affair. So long as you understand this (true) ideology, you will be able to learn the whole story.
Here is a federal lawsuit I filed against dozens of perpetrators of the cryptocurrency Ponzi – not for litigation, but just to preserve the information and attach my name to it. I was terrified and hadn’t slept in days and it shows, but it served its purpose of keeping myself alive long enough to keep learning and telling this story.
I no longer have my original research files from the crypto rabbit hole. If you want to see them, you’ll have to get my laptop back from the government. Ask them how they got it – it’s a very fun story.
I hope you know how powerful you are. I wish you a hell of a lot more than luck.

In Support of Palestine by China


‘Today is a sad day’: China responds to US vetoing Palestine UN membership

“The application by Palestine for full membership at the UN has been rejected, and the decades-long dream of the Palestinian people ruthlessly dashed,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said.

On Thursday, the United States thwarted the UN Security Council’s advancement of a Palestinian proposal seeking full member state recognition at the United Nations, halting attempts by Palestinian supporters to garner global backing for the initiative. The resolution received 12 affirmative votes, with the United States dissenting, while Britain and Switzerland abstained.

Leaked NYT Style Guide Reveals Biased Reporting on Palestine-Israel Conflict

by John Miles via sputnikglobe

A leaked memo reveals the depth of the controversial newspaper’s anti-Palestinian bias.

A shocking internal style guide from The New York Times was leakedthis week, revealing the depth of the controversial newspaper’s bias regarding the Palestine-Israel conflict.

“I’ve closely monitored the paper’s slanted coverage for more than a decade, and I admit to being stunned by this,” wrote Mondoweiss editor James North. “Arguably the worst example of bias is the Times’s directive that its reports should ‘avoid’ using the phrase ‘occupied territory’ when describing Palestinian land.”

“Israel’s military and police checkpoints and the fact that Israel’s military law is supreme – what is this if not an ‘occupation?’” wrote North of the situation in the occupied West Bank, clarifying that Israel’s years-long blockade of the Gaza Strip has been deemed by international legal experts to constitute an occupation as well.

“Occupied territories is the internationally accepted reference to the space,” noted host Wilmer Leon on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Thursday. “I think it’s important for people to also understand that the ability to define is the ability to control.”

“I think that’s very true,” agreed Palestinian activist and author Robert Fantina [author of “Desertion and the American Soldier, 2006, Algora Publishing]. “The New York Times has for years been trying to define the occupation as something else. Sometimes they call it ‘disputed territory’ or other kinds of language… The United Nations has said it’s still considered occupied. So there’s no question about it, the legal term is ‘occupation.’”

UN officials have long criticized Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, which has led Tel Aviv to frequently criticize the organization, even though the country owes its creation to a 1948 act of the international body. Recently the Israeli government alleged that several members of UNRWA, the UN organization responsible for aid to Palestinian refugees, were involved in Hamas’ October 7 uprising last year.

US intelligence found no evidence for the claim, and it later emerged the Israeli military had tortured UNRWA employees to extract false confessions, waterboarding the aid workers and threatening them with rape and murder. Israeli torture of detainees is reportedly a routine practice as the country holds thousands of Palestinians without charge.

“Even the United States government accepts [Palestine is] occupied, and that’s saying something,” noted Fantina. “So the fact that The New York Times is trying to avoid using ‘occupation’ and deceive its readers is an attempt to control the narrative. It’s about control… and that’s what they want to do, control the narrative in Israel’s favor.”

“There are international laws governing occupation,” he added. “For the occupied, they have the right – the legal right – to resist the occupation in any way at their disposal, including armed struggle. That is specified.”

“Fortunately, people aren’t buying it anymore because of the prevalence of social media and people seeing what’s actually happening. And the prevalence of independent news sources. They’re seeing that, yes, Palestinian people are being massacred in huge numbers – men, women, and children.”

Discussion then turned towards the leak of several US State Department cables that revealed the Biden White House, despite publicly declaring its support for a so-called two-state solution, has undermined efforts towards that end at the United Nations. The leaks revealed Washington was privately lobbying foreign countries to vote against full recognition of Palestine at the international body in order to avoid the embarrassment of a lone veto against the measure.

“[Biden] believes, as a Zionist, in this myth of God-given land to the Jewish people or whatever,” noted Fantina. “Yet then he says he supports a two-state solution, which would deprive the Israelis of a good portion of land. So he can’t be seen as an honest broker between the two.”

“He can’t be seen as anyone with the rights of the Palestinians in his mind. He only cares about the Israelis, and the Palestinians can all be killed as he’s supporting now, as he’s financing. And it doesn’t matter to him as long as Israel gets whatever it wants.”

Despite its constant violation of international law, Israel frequently manages to intimidate its critics into silence through extensive lobbying and influence in Western politics. Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein documented the settler colonial country’s efforts in a book entitled “The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering.”

“After the Holocaust, Jews can do whatever they want,” claimed former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, summing up the mindset of Israel’s defenders.

In fact, many Jewish people reject any association with the Zionist cause, decrying the country’s abuses. The Zionist lobby has persecuted Jewish and non-Jewish critics of Israel alike; in 2007 Finkelstein was denied tenure and forced out of his position at DePaul University after a campaign against him by pro-Israel lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
