Eat, King, eat as the children and adults starve in that Muslim ghetto of Israel called Gaza!
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has dissolved his war cabinet, an Israeli official told CNN Monday, just over a week after opposition leader Benny Gantz withdrew from the band of warlords.
I tried to tell Bibi to stop, but he hung up on me.
Decision-making will now move back to PM Netanyahu and the previous arrangement he had with the government’s main [offensive] "security" cabinet, the Israeli official said, claiming Bibi Netanyahu “will [unilaterally be in charge and] hold smaller forums on sensitive matters [as cover for any decisions on war he makes].”
The Israeli war cabinet, set up [by Netanyahu] five days after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, had five members:
SOBibi is going to get us all arrested by the ICJ
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu,
Defense Minister Yoavie Gallant,
Opposition leader Benny Gantz,
and two “observers,” Ronnie Dermer and
Gadi Eisenkot.
But Minister Gantz – seen as Netanyahu’s most formidable political opponent – announced his “complex and painful” decision to withdraw [resign] from the cabinet last week, citing Netanyahu’s failure to devise a strategy for the conflict genocide in Gaza and the future governance of the Gaza Strip [under full Israeli rule].
The IDF (Israel's elite US-supplied military) yesterday announced a daily “tactical pause” in its attacks on Rafah, Gaza, to allow humanitarian relief to enter the Gaza Strip, after its war crimes of repeatedly blocking aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza since October 7. While a full ceasefire is still vital, “any pause in the bombing is good news for children,” says UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, speaking to Democracy Now! from Rafah. “The physical and psychological exhaustion they face is almost impossible to capture,” he says, characterizing Israel’s offensive as “a war on children.”
“Netanyahu prevents us from moving forward to a real victory [in Gaza],” Gantz said June 9, 2024.
Gantz accused Netanyahu of putting his own personal political considerations [to avoid imprisonment, exile on a CIA ship or island, prosecution, or demotion to light monitor] ahead of a post-war strategy for the Gaza Strip.
He claims that “fateful strategic decisions are met with hesitancy and procrastination due to [Netanyahu's] political considerations,” and urged the prime minister to hold an election in the coming months. [Elections? For his own ouster? Netanyahu is not interested in doing any such thing].
“I call on Netanyahu: set an agreed election date. Do not let our [Jewish] people be torn apart,” Gantz said.
In April, Gantz called for early elections to be held as soon as September, ahead of the one-year anniversary of the war, saying “Israeli society needs to renew its contract with its leadership.” The month before, he had traveled to Washington, DC, to meet with US Vice President Kamala Harris in a trip not sanctioned by the Israeli government.

(Sky News Australia) June 17, 2024: Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney says Joe Biden is the “easiest person” for the Democrats to choose because everyone in the party is “sort of okay” with Genocide Joe. “One of the reasons that Joe Biden is still there…is he is the easiest person for them to choose,” Mr. Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. “Go down the list, and Joe Biden is the one that everybody is sort of okay with.”
This is what a REAL Biden campaign commercial would look like
(The Jimmy Dore Show)
June 17, 2024: They tell us, if we vote our conscience, it doesn't count. They tell us, if we vote third party, it doesn't count. What counts? we ask. They tell us, vote for the "lesser evil." But isn't the "lesser evil" evil by definition? Yeah. You want us to vote for evil? Yes, but the lesser evil.
Lovable idiot is sick, demented, senile, possessed
Mwah ha ha! Let me think up a lie as I talk.
We'd rather vote our conscience. My mind, my vote. We're voting with our hearts, third party or independent. Even a write-in would be better than voting evil because if we vote evil, the next impossible choice is even worse, every time.
"No, you stupid fools," they say, "you have no choice -- so vote evil! We mean lesser evil!" Trump is evil, a lowlife of a human being, a liar, narcissist, rapist, an incestuous child molester on Pedophile Island with Bill and Hillary Clinton as the guest of blackmailers and child traffickers murdered Jeff Epstein and indicted and convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
Joe Biden molested his daughter Ashley Biden?
But Joe Biden is evil, a genocidal lowlife and a lifelong politician who molests children at home, including his own daughter and a child he can get his hands or nose on (even when cameras are documenting it). He may not have traveled to Pedo Isle, but he was involved in PizzaGateand the Democrat parties, where sex offender Jewish NY Democrat Anthony Finkelstein-Weiner was introduced to Hillary's lesbian partner and sexually harassed sleepover personal assistant Huma Abedin. This was well-known inside the Beltway, though perhaps not generally known in the country ruled by the city (Washington, DC).
COMMENTARY
I am not a witch. A lesbian, maybe
Bisexual or opportunistic (over of pizza) Huma Abedin wrote a memoir titled Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds (11/22) covering her crazy life and childhood in Saudi Arabia, her Muslim faith, her time as an aide to lesbian Hillary Clinton, and her sick relationship with estranged husband Democratic Rep. A. Weiner, which she says was a therapeutic process, helping her work through a tumultuous time as a result of Weiner's multiple sexual scandals [24] [as Hillary comforted her and gave her a leg up].
I did what I had to for advancement
In the memoir, Abedin explores the multiple identities that have shaped her, in particular being born in Michigan then raised in Saudi Arabia by a strict Pakistani father and a more permissive Indian mother [25]. Earlier molestation?In the memoir, Abedin wrote that in the mid-2000s, an unnamed U.S. senator had "kissed me, pushing his tongue into my mouth, pressing me back on the sofa."
I love Huma's personal services. She was good.
She wrote that she had "buried" the incident until accusations of sexual assault against Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 triggered her memory [26]. In an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning to promote the book, she said she did not feel that the senator was sexually assaulting her in that moment [27]. [That's just what they do. He was a Democrat. Hillary does the same sort of thing to the ladies and her witch club.] More

Chappell Roan draws Bonnaroo crowd after festival organizers made last-minute switch to bigger stage
(Pink Pony Club Chappell Roan wants to leave the South and go to Santa Monica to be stripper/singer
She has the voice for it in "Good Luck, Babe"
I don't know this Chappell bich. I'm Dave!
(CNN) — It’s all rise for Chappell Roan, 26. The emerging pop star (not to be confused with the established comedian who's always getting in trouble with our trans community) drew in a major crowd at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee over the weekend, validating festival organizers’ decision to move her performance to a bigger stage to accommodate anticipated crowds.
Roan said NO way to White House Pride. I'll do it
when we have liberty, justice, and freedom for all
Dave Chappelle is comic genius.
Some Chappell (singer not the comedian) supporters even began camping out around 3:30 am to claim their spots before her set, according to The Tennessean. CNN has reached out to Bonnaroo to confirm the number of people in attendance for Roan’s performance.
Bonnaroo’s move came days after came after Roan, whose given name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, drew an unexpectedly large crowd at New York City’s Gov Ball Music Festival, where she appeared on stage in head-to-toe green body paint dressed as the Statue of Liberty.
The lesbian singer, 26, who signed her first record deal as a teen, recently expressed some of the pressure she has felt with her growing popularity.

“I just want to be honest with the crowd,” Roan, visibly emotional, said during a concert in North Carolina last week, according to a video posted to YouTube.
("Good Luck, Babe") Look, I can actually sing! I'm deep and complex, too!
“I just feel a little off today because I think that my career has just kind of gone really fast, and it’s really hard to keep up.” Roan’s music has an ’80s synth-pop sound with smooth vocals and colorful stage style.

Whatcha eating there, Serj? - Suicide. - Is it vegan?
MOM: Chop sui(cide) is a song about a lovely vegan Chinese food, mixed vegetables in a wok with a little soy sauce and lots of steaming white rice, right?
WQ: Are you f'n crazy? Of course that's what it's about, but I think now, at least in California and the groovier places like Tennessee and Oregon, we go with brown rice.
MOM: C'mon, I know the song must be about suicide somewhere. He [Serj Tankian] says it right in the song!
WQ: I think he's complaining about people trying to use teriyaki sauce in a stir-fry with tofu sticks.
MOM: Ha, ha, help me. I want to understand. I have my own new mom version of the song that's more suitable for young ears. I find myself singing a lot of System [of a Down] songs as I clean up kid toys.
WQ: You can catch the band live in San Francisco this summer. They're playing on August 11, 2024. You know, for a song that came out in 2009, it has the distinction of racking up 1.3+ billion views. And that's just the official video on YouTube. Add all the streaming services, the lyric videos, knock offs, and excerpts, and that's pretty darn good for Armenian alt-metal. The Turks never had a chance to take the other side of the argument.
MOM: Which argument?
WQ: The "genocide."
MOM: Oh, I think Israel is totally guilty.
What is he saying? Why doesn't he slow down?
WQ: True but this is a previous genocide the Ottoman Empire Turks are accused of, which was said to be laughed off as a genocide no one cares about by Hitler when he wanted to genocide all the Jews in Europe or at least the few in Germany because he said they were ruining his Reich's economy. And his previous best friend had been Jewish. Nobody talks too much about that.
MOM: How sad.
WQ: People say he wasn't even mad at Jews themselves, just scapegoating them and sending them to work camps because they had in his view unfairly hoarded too much of the wealth in Germany. But Jews swear he hated them and wanted to exterminate them all because of his hate and nothing else, which is odd because a lot of Ashkenazi Jews in Germany looked exactly like Christian Germans, so exactly that a lot of Nazis couldn't tell the difference except for some cultural markers like gesticulation (moving hands and arms) gestures when talking or speaking Yiddish (which is gibberish German making fun of Christianity).
MOM: But aren't Jews the ultimate victims who say everyone hates them.
Vegan chop suey stir-fry (Keeping the Peas)
WQ: We have heard them say that. It seems like only Rich Forer and Prof. Norm Finkelstein, both of whom are Jewish, call them out for this victim mentality that aids their campaign to label everyone who disagrees "antisemites" and everyone who opposes their genocide in Palestine "Jew haters."
MOM: Is that what this song is about, genocide, first the Armenians then the Jews?
WQ: It seems to be about suicide.
MOM: Not chop suey?
WQ: Same thing.

(The Jimmy Dore Show) CIA-groomed Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu engineered Oct. 7th attacks by HAMAS (an acronym for a secular political organization Bibi funded and protected), overwhelming evidence shows.
Israel's war strategy known as the Hannibal Directive states that Jews will kill Jews if it advances their cause to do so.
Because I'm Jewish I support Palestinians
That is, if a Jew might be taken hostage or used to embarrass Israel, its government, or its military, the military is announcing in no uncertain terms that Jewish soldiers will kill Jews.
This does not say that the Mossad (Israel's CIA) will secretly assassinate them. It is saying that the IDF, the overt military, will kill them, as if by stating this in advance it justifies its own actions and holds itself exempt from criminal prosecution in the Hague's International Court of Justice (ICJ) for war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation, extermination, and so on.
Don't cry, Joe's body-double. We wanted this.
It is Jews killing Jews, and before they kill them, (secular) Jews are made to hate (religious) Jews, known as Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews.
These religious Jews actually read and study and attempt to practice the religion the secular Jews use as a cultural identity but not as a religion, unless it is convenient to do so as when saying their holy books give them permission to commit genocide to get the real estate deal they say their God promised them. The U.S. aids and abets this thinking, supporting
Netanyahu and the Israeli military with money, weapons, intelligence, and above all diplomatic support in the United Nations and the ICJ.
Ashkenazi secular Zionist-Jewish woman FREAKS OUT at Orthodox Jews (who study the Bible, the Old Testament, are observant and religious) just like the IDF and Israeli police regularly do, abusing fellow Jews they hate.
Secular Jews should try Judaism
Antisemitism is when Israel hates Semites be they Ultra-Orthodox Jews, Bedouins, Arabs, anti-Zionist Jews, Palestinians. It is also when secular Jews despise and attack religious Jews who are following the tenets of the religion called Judaism.
What's so special about this show? Friday, June 21 is the summer solstice. It's also the full strawberry moon, it's also a 18.6 year cycle of the moon rising to the highest point and descending to its lowest point. And it's also the best Year of the Dragon (Hot Ugly Rat Year), so it's bound to be a great show and vibe.
DisclosureFest: mindful yoga, music, healing arts and vegan festival, June 21-23, 2024
Summer Solstice and Full Moon Ceremony
Castaic Lake has a lagoon and recreation center out in the northwestern corner of the county

Laura Eisenhower
When did DisclosureFest begin? Years ago, Adrian and his spiritual business partner were on the radio (Coast to Coast with guest host Jimmy Church) talking about bringing a FREE Burning Man, Coachella, Woodstock festival of music, yoga, vegan food, ecstatic dance, yoga, and ET/UFO disclosure to Los Angeles.
What is the disclosure? We're not alone.
Where could it be held? How about a cornfield in DTLA, next to an art colony, by historic Chinatown under the elevated Metrorail train? Yes!
They talked the City of Los Angeles into it, and it went off without a hitch. Eventually, it got so big it moved to Las Vegas like most music festivals eventually do. (There are fewer regulations and hassles there).
See the spectacular Full Moon Ceremony like they have in Buddhist Phuket, Thailand
Founder Adrian, spiritualized nerd
The pandemic slowed it down. But it's a year-round series of initiatives. It centers around the Mass Meditation Initiative as its center with soundbaths and other healings.
This year the fest it is at the Castaic Lake Lagoon in northwestern LA County, 40 minutes from DTLA, out past Magic Mountain. Castaic is a reservoir along the 5 Freeway. It's three days full of music, workshops, yoga, and speakers Stairway to the Stars including these notables:
Having an Irish dad is a treat, not necessarily a good one all the time, but it can feel like a crack (craik). Father's Day is celebrated around the world and probably began in the US, thanks to our lively card trade. Thanks, Hallmark. But many, many Americans are part of the Irish diaspora.

What Irish clan do I belong to?
(Diane Jennings) A lot of people have Irish ancestry, but has anyone ever wondered where in Ireland a family came from and what Irish ancestors might have done for a living? From Mayo to Dublin, there are ways to translate an American, British, even Welsh surname to track them through ancestors' pasts in Britain and Ireland and on to the United States and find out "What Irish clan do I belong to?" What does a surname mean?
