Gaza was and is now a laboratory in which the shoulders of business, law, and amorality collide in ways that defy euphemism. To call what occurs “peace” is to embrace an Orwellian fiction; to call it “conflict” is to sanitize state-sanctioned murder. There is no substitute in English for the word genocide. Genocide apologists will grasp at any feeble lexicon—“counterterrorism,” “operations,” “humanitarian intervention”—to sanitize what is a methodical pattern of civilian targeting, systemic displacement, and deprivation of life. Those euphemistic words are deeply offensive and inappropriate.

The Nobel Committee has frequently given the peace prize to major war makers, and frequently to do-gooders whose work in a variety of fields has been unrelated to abolishing war. It has also often given the prize to opponents and victims of Western empire. But it has never given the prize to open advocates of war and fascistic government. Trump was never going to be given the prize directly.
Trump is not the right type of warmonger. Nobody could do it with a straight face. Zelensky was saying he’d support Trump for the peace prize if Trump were to send him long-range missiles with which to start World War III. Norway has been worried about what horrible things Trump might do upon failing to be given the prize. Trump has pushed NATO members into unprecedented levels of military spending, while fueling wars in Ukraine and Palestine, supporting Israeli warmaking around Western Asia, murdering the occupants of fishing boats and declaring his right to attack Venezuela, and proclaiming his intention to practice for more wars using U.S. cities as training grounds. The Nobel Committee could not risk having him show up to accept its peace prize and denounce them for having some non-“white” people in the room or for having given the prize to someone he hates.

PART 1: Jesus’ Admonitions About Harming Children
Jesus was unequivocal in his condemnation of those who harm children or cause them to sin. Here are all key passages:
Matthew 18:6–7 (NRSV)
“If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to the one by whom the stumbling block comes!”
Jesus does not speak figuratively here. This is one of his most severe warnings, directly linking divine punishment with harming children, especially in their innocence or belief. This text forms a moral anchor point in any ethical reckoning involving child suffering.
Mark 9:42
“If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea.”

Morgellons disease is one of the most perplexing and controversially shrouded conditions in modern medicine. Characterized by fibers emerging from the skin, intense itching, lesions, neurological disturbances, and a range of systemic symptoms, Morgellons has been dismissed by mainstream institutions as “delusional parasitosis.” Yet a growing body of evidence suggests this dismissal is not only premature—it may be deliberate. From patient testimonies across the United States and Europe [Voltairenet] to documented links with covert U.S. military and intelligence projects [Voltairenet 2], Morgellons appears increasingly as a man-made, bio-engineered disease that has been systematically minimized by federal and private institutions.
Despite thousands (not millions) of dollars in official research, including a $100,000 Kaiser Permanente and NIH “study,” the condition remains largely unacknowledged in mainstream medical literature, leaving hundreds of thousands of sufferers isolated and voiceless [Morgellons Research].
It’s Football Season
The Summer has gone and the winds have come
The leaves are falling and fall is in the air
But the sun shines bright and and the fields are buzzing
The bees are preparing for the long winter’s night
Propaganda fills the mail
As the politicians howl and wail
Spreading doom and gloom from house to room
But it’s football season and everyone’s joyful and gay
The kids are on the field preparing to play
Gone are any thoughts of reason
And nobody dare speak of treason
The people will vote for Red or for Blue
Or maybe some other shade or hue
It’s football on the political stage
And the spectators will cheer and rage
Go team go, fight fight fight!
And the TV stays on all day and all night
My team will win, or, maybe it’s yours?
The colors have blurred from money’s dark curse
What’s the score now? Nobody knows.
The bees are still buzzing and the sun is still warm
It’s church tomorrow, then work Monday morn

The Bush Controlled Demolition of Democracy
The George W. Bush years (2001–2009) were less a presidency and more a controlled demolition of freedom, liberty, trust, wealth, and global credibility. Bush shattered the economic backbone of the middle class (home ownership, trust in banks and financial corporations). Bush completely burned down America’s global reputation internationally.
Bush created an economic pipeline from Mainstreet to Wall Street, slashing taxes for the top 1% under the guise of relief for all. Bush caused ballooning national debt, a vanished surplus, and a turbine pumping wealth from workers to banksters.

Part 1 was published at this link directly below (you are advised to read it as ** worthy):
Likely you agree that these times that we now witness is an ever more amassing of chaos, especially noticeable here in the United States. Accusations of mass shootings by radicalized extremists, military crackdowns in American cities, all manner of confusion on investigations into the Charlie Kirk killing (with a multiplicity of contrarian stories and theories proliferating), the Jeffery Epstein sexual blackmail operation hanging like another unsolved mystery, a new fascist National Security Directive making “anti-Americanism” criminal, plus rumors and more rumors, etc.
We are deluged and distracted. And we are being manipulated into our own concentration camp.
So then asking Google AI: “How is the idea of chaos related to Satan?” we get this to start:
“The idea of chaos is directly related to Satan as the agent of disorder, who works against God's order and peace. In Christian theology, Satan represents confusion, corruption, and lawlessness. This connection is often depicted through the ancient Near Eastern imagery of a dragon or serpent, who promotes lies and discord, disrupting creation's harmony and humanity's relationship with God.”

The Sneaky Seizure of Power
The twentieth century taught us to look for coups in uniforms and barricades. The twenty-first century has done away with theatre. Our coup is operated by cloud contracts and neural networks, debugged and fine-tuned to AI-Algorithm non-transparency. Democracy is not toppled but hacked, its processes outsourced to unelected contractors, data brokers, and machine-learning systems.
The coup central location is Israel, but the stakes are globally universal. Israel, the "Startup Nation," has honed the union of militarism, artificial intelligence, and privatized government as a test model. Gaza is a laboratory, corporations the enforcement ministries, and algorithms the last governors.

All those courageous United Nation delegates triumphantly walking out (gasp!) on a Netanyahu speech on Friday actually had a legal obligation to arrest him and deliver him to the International Criminal Court which has long since issued a warrant for his arrest.
When in the course of manufactured emergencies, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve all bonds of self-respect and natural liberty, and to abase themselves before a superior administrative-military force, a decent regard to the illusions of security requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to grovel.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are born surveilled, that they are endowed by their governments with certain revocable permissions, that among these are compliance, consumerism, daily mass murders and the pursuit of anesthetized entertainment—that to secure these permissions, agencies are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the algorithms; that whenever any form of autonomy becomes inconvenient, it is the Right of the State to abolish it, and to institute new guards for its own survival, laying its foundation on fear and its organization on endless war.
