Scott Ritter: Israel in BIG TROUBLE as its War on Gaza inflames regional tensions
(Danny Haiphong) Friend of the show and former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter reflects on Israel's war on Gaza and whether regional forces such as Hezbollah will enter into the conflict in a major way.
  • Israel has been lying, spreading atrocity propaganda
  • Israel was outwitted by Hamas/El Qassam Brigades
  • Israel has been committing war crimes for decades
  • Israel uses kibbutz system to steal land, spy on Gaza

US joins Israeli war crimes to provoke Iran

Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The US says it is moving an aircraft carrier, battleships, and fighter jets to the eastern Mediterranean and will also give [supply deadly arms at no cost to] Israel additional equipment and ammunition [so it can kill more Palestinians and complete it US-style colonial occupation, displacement, and genocide of the indigenous people so Europeans (Ashkenazi) can steal the land and claim God gave it to them in a book].

It follows the Hamas (the security and defense force imprisoned in the world's largest open-air prison called the Gaza Strip] attack on southern Israel, which U.S. Pres. Biden called an "unprecedented and appalling assault."

She's holding a gun, and they're joking ironically
A US National Security spokesperson said several US citizens were among the dead. Israel says more than 700 people have been killed and 100 kidnapped.

In Gaza, more than 400 people have been killed following revenge air strikes by Israeli [militants and state sponsored terrorists, though we don't call them that because euphemisms are much more pleasant], according to Palestinian officials.

US Secretary of Defense War Lloyd Austin said the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, a missile cruiser, and four missile destroyers were heading to the region.

US fighter jets would also be sent [because the US military has not yet spent a trillion dollars in Ukraine but is itching to lose that much or more on foreign imperial escapades that will help enrich war profiteers in the US and in transnational corporations].

Further military arms for Israel would be sent in the coming days, the White House said, adding that the US was working to ensure that Israel's enemies would not try to seek advantage from the situation.

What does Israel want? - Revenge. - When does it want it? - Before, now, and later.
.
I'll send help soon. = No, no worries, Donald.
Iran's Pres. Ebrahim Raisi has expressed support for Hamas, saying Israel needed to be held to account for endangering the region [by imprisoning Palestinians then closing the walls in on them, starving them, isolating them, humiliating them, killing them, arresting them, bombing their tenement homes with fighter jets for an overkill effect, and other forms of terror the world stays strangely silent about or which are blocked from US media channels so that members of the US Empire are utterly ignorant of what has been going on to provoke retaliation by an oppressed minority trying to shake off its European invaders and well-funded war criminals holding all the power].

Hamas has said assistance from Iran helped it carry out its retaliation, which involved rockets, drones, and valiant defenders on paragliders and saw hundreds of revolutionary fighters break through Israeli border fortifications [prison towers and walls] around the Gaza Strip.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US had not seen evidence of direct Iranian involvement, but that Iran had been helping their fellow Muslims in the Gaza-based defense group for years.

"Hamas wouldn't be Hamas without the support that it's gotten over many years from Iran. We haven't yet seen direct evidence that Iran was behind this particular attack or involved. But the support over many years is clear," he told US TV.

At a UN Security Council meeting, Iran denied involvement in the attack on Israel, Reuters reported. More

FTX, WTF? Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto crimes

8 more disturbing revelations about Sam Bankman-Fried
The first stage of any collapse is confusion, maybe even schadenfreude (German for "delight in another's misery").

A polycule of 10 live in sex partners for Sam
It was no different during the wild week when [the new oversexed Bernie Madoff] Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the supposed crypto wunderkind and founder of FTX, tried and failed to sell his imploding empire only to find himself totally broke, his companies bankrupt, and his sexual polycule (FTX circle all "dated" each other in the Bahamas crypto mansion) perhaps no longer in the mood. (Read about all that sex story here).

OMG! I could have lived like Sam did!!!
The stage after that, though, is fear — and that is precisely where we are now. The sum of Bankman-Fried may have added up to less than his parts, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was deeply interconnected with the worlds of politics and finance beyond the relatively small world of digital currencies.

Since his bankruptcy filing, the crypto empire Bankman-Fried presided over has been subject to even more embarrassing and damning revelations, and he is the target of multiple investigations.

It is still too early to say that he’s headed for prison: If the prior big financial crisis taught us anything, it’s not to be shocked when nobody gets arrested for obvious crimes — but that is certainly a strong possibility. Here’s what we’ve learned about SBF since Friday.
FTX software had a very illegal-sounding back door for moving huge sums of money

Who can judge but a magistrate, so it’s not up to us to decide what’s against the law. But we’ve got eyes.

Over the weekend, it was revealed — first by Reuters — that a back door was written into the code at the FTX crypto exchange that allowed Bankman-Fried to move customer deposits from that platform to his (supposed completely separate) hedge fund, Alameda Research.

In essence, this was a way to keep quiet the alarm bells that would have started to ring if anyone else had been aware that he was moving this money. All told, Reuters reported that $1 billion was missing. More

Football in Brazil, NSA in Bahamas, Rush, Nader

The Bahamas Wants to Know Why NSA is Recording Its Phone Calls
Greenwald says there's no place to hide (PIN)
Government officials in the Bahamas want their U.S. counterparts to explain why the National Security Agency has been intercepting and recording every cell phone call taking place on the island nation.
 
Responding to a report published by The Intercept on Monday, which revealed that the NSA has been targeting the Bahamas’ entire mobile network and storing the audio of every phone call traversing the network for up to 30 days, Bahamian officials told the Nassau Guardian that they had contacted the U.S. and vowed to release a statement regarding the revelations.

Chaplain anti-gay is a virtue
In a front-page story published Tuesday, Bahamian Minister of Foreign Affairs Fred Mitchell told The Guardian that his government had reached out to the U.S. for an explanation. Mitchell said the cabinet was set to meet to discuss the matter and planned to issue a statement on the surveillance. The Bahamian minister of national security told the paper he intended to launch an inquiry into the NSA’s surveillance but did not provide a comment.

Nader: Climate, Iraq...
A source familiar with the situation told The Intercept that the cabinet meeting had indeed taken place, but an official in Mitchell’s office said there would be no comment Tuesday. “You’ll have to call back,” said the official, who did not identify herself. More

The Buddha on Beauty: "Miss Universe"

Five Desirable Things
(AN V, 43)
Once the Buddha addressed the multi-millionaire householder Anathapindika:

"There are, O householder, five things that are wished for, loved, and agreeable yet rarely gained in the world:

  1. beauty
  2. long life
  3. happiness
  4. fame
  5. rebirth in heaven

"But of these five, I do not teach that they are to be obtained by prayer or by vows. If one could obtain them in that way, who would not obtain them?

"A noble disciple, householder, who wishes to have beauty should follow a path of life that is conducive to beauty. [The ancient commentary to this sutra explains that this means a path of meritorious conduct by practicing generosity, virtue, and meditation; the cause of beauty is non-anger]. By following such a path, one will obtain beauty [here and now or even hereafter], be it divine or human. It is not befitting that one should pray for beauty, or make vows, or take delight in doing so.

"A noble disciple, householder, who likewise wishes to have long life, happiness, fame, and rebirth in heaven should follow a path of life that is conducive to long life, happiness, fame, and rebirth in heaven. By following such a path one will obtain them [even without wishing]. It is not befitting that one should pray for them, or make vows, or take delight in doing so."
