Jewish author: REAL history of Zionism ✡️

(The Young Turks) Jewish author EXPOSES the real history of [Ashkenazi Jewish] Zionism

GUEST
: Author Benjamin Moser (born Sept. 14, 1976) is an American Jewish (Anti-Zionist) writer and translator [1]. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 2020 for his biography of Susan Sontag, titled Sontag: Her Life and Work. More
Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis
Zionist Collaboration with Nazis
51 Documents is a book by the American Jew, Trotskyist, and anti-Zionist scholar Lenni Brenner [1].

It presents 51 documents that show that Zionist Jewish leaders collaborated with fascism particularly in Dictator Hitler's Nazi Germany, according to author.

Their motive was to build up a Jewish presence in Palestine (the British Empire's occupied "Mandatory Palestine").

Zionists who hate Jews (anti-Semites)
The book continues themes explored in Brenner's earlier and highly controversial work Zionism in the Age of the Dictators.

The book is split into five sections:
  1. Zionism and anti-Semitism before Adolf Hitler
  2. The World Zionist Organization and Nazism Before the Holocaust
  3. Zionist Revisionism, Fascism, and Nazism Before the Holocaust
  4. The World Zionist Organization During the Holocaust
  5. The Stern Gang and the Nazis [2]. More

Vile Jewish kapos: Zionists who kill Jews
Zionist-Jews kill Jews like kapos
A kapo is a type of Jewish prisoner and Nazi functionary (German Funktionshäftling) inside German Nazi concentration and extermination camps. They were, whether voluntary or coerced, collaborators who worked under the Nazi SS (Schutz-staffel) to carry out administrative tasks for Nazis or supervise the forced labor of Jewish inmates. Given authority over their fellow Jewish prisoners, kapos would often enjoy comparatively better conditions inside concentration camps, such as more food rations and less physical brutality from Nazi SS guards. Due to their privileged status and actions, kapos were despised, highly resented, so much so that they were frequently lynched by Jewish prisoners when the camps were liberated by Allied forces during the final stages of WW II. More

The truth hurts: Jewish hypocrisy
Zionism in the Age of the Dictators
The [Jewish] Zionist Federation of Germany sought Hitler's patronage (active support) in 1933:

"Zionism hopes to be able to win the collaboration even of a government fundamentally hostile to Jews...Boycott propaganda...currently being carried on against Germany...is in essence un-Zionist."

Zionism became the only other legal political movement in the Nazi's Third Reich. That same year, the World Zionist Organization (WZO) made the Ha'avara (Transfer) Agreement, undermining the boycott against Nazi Germany.

German Jewish emigrants to Palestine had to buy Nazi goods that the WZO sold in the Middle East.

In 1937 the Haganah (later the Israeli Army) sent an agent to Berlin, Germany, offering a deal: They would provide spy intelligence if the Nazis further eased the monetary regulations for emigrants to Palestine.


We'll work with Hitler or Trump or anyone to rule
The Zionist-Revisionist movement (today Israel's ruling Likud Party) set up a detachment at Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini's naval academy. He personally reviewed them in 1936. They wanted him to replace Britain as Zionism's patron.

In 1941, the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel (later Likudniks) told the Nazis that they wanted a "Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich," and offered "to actively take part in the war [WW II] on Germany's side."

This is the sordid history documented in Jewish scholar Lenni Brenner's Zionism in the Age of the Dictators. Updated edition features a new afterword by the author. More

Ireland activist/dissident Dolours Price



A NEW documentary focusing on the life of militant IRA activist and dissident Republican Dolours Price has just arrived on Netflix, having earned great reviews
Sisters in the Resistance against imperial rule
I, Dolours, from Director Maurice Sweeney, presents a powerful and disturbing portrait of Price, who died in 2013 and spent time in prison for her role in the IRA bombing of London's Old Bailey in 1973.

The documentary sees the once-idealistic Price reflect on her part in the troubles and the depths she was willing to sink to in the name of the cause.

Two years prior to her death Price agreed to conduct a filmed interview on the condition it would never be broadcast during her lifetime.

The resulting interview with The Irish News, which forms the basis of I, Dolours, saw Price confess to her involvement in the murder of Jean McConville, a mother of 10 from west Belfast who was abducted and killed by the IRA in 1972.

McConville was suspected by the IRA of passing on information to British forces, though a police investigation, conducted decades later, found no evidence she was an informer.

Her body was eventually discovered on a beach in Louth in 2003, following a tip-off from the IRA. More: A powerful documentary on IRA activist Dolours Price has arrived on Netflix | irishpost.com

Buddhism explained with an Irish accent

Well, don't that beat all? Tuatha Dé Danann, I tink that's brilliant, always been partial to Booda.


(Cognito) Irish brogue/Gaelic accented "BUDDHISM EXPLAINED"

What's the Irish version of Buddhism?

We are the Tuatha Dé Danann
Buddhism is the THIRD largest religion in the world when we restored the 1 billion Buddhists in China the communist regime refuses to count since communism is officially atheist and insists party member comply.

Nearly all Chinese Buddhists follow three blended traditions (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism) and now have to mix those with a communist version of capitalism). The country's regime is trying to supplant religion with this new capitalist-friendly communism and a nanny state with mass surveillance, bringing the actual total number of Buddhists to more than 1.5 billion. That makes Buddhism the third largest missionary (universalist) "world religion."

Good thing we in US are not spied on
(The Young Turks) What the FLOCK (AI-driven camera system)?

Catholicism is the biggest religion in the world. Combining its total with Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and many strange sects and post schismatic traditions, Christianity has the most nominal adherents.

Islam is said to be growing but is already the second biggest world religion, having gone from place to place by the sword, just as Christianity used to do with imperial crusades, ethnic cleansings, and forced conversions.

Buddhism is the original missionary tradition, but neither then nor now is it out to convert anybody away from their faith. Exposing them to the Teachings of the Awakened One capable of curing suffering and making people better at adhering to their beliefs and practices, it has been most welcome.

Why? Just as in the Buddha's time, the Buddha's Dharma ("Doctrine") is not actually a "religion." But the West treats all daily activities and beliefs as "religious" systems when, since the time Sumer, Greater Egypt, and the very advanced Indus Valley Civilization held sway, what we now call "religion" was just the collective daily habits and somewhat superstitious customs of whole societies that made little to no distinction between ordinary life and spirituality.

Buddhism in Celtic Britain and Ireland before Christianity?
.

The first Western Buddhist convert to become a monk was Irish
Irish Burmese Theravada Buddhist monk Ven. Dhammaloka in 1902, age approximately 50
.
The Irish Buddhist: Forgotten Monk
His name was Venerable (U) Dhammaloka (born Laurence Carroll in the 1850s) from Boostertown, Dublin County, Ireland.

He reportedly gave at least five names for himself, including Laurence O'Rourke and William Colvin [2]. On occasion he used the nom de plume "Captain Daylight."

It is accepted that he was Irish, almost certainly born in Dublin in the 1850s, and emigrated to the United States, possibly via Liverpool. More

Celtic Buddhism, a new lineage
celticbuddhism.org
Welcome to CelticBuddhism.org, a site of benefit and inspiration to those who enter and proceed on the path of Dharma.

The lineage of Celtic Buddhism was suggested in the 1970s during a conversation between the renowned [and abusive, scandal-ridden, Shambhala] Tibetan lama Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and his student John Perks. The actual development is the result of the mixing of their minds.

What would an Irish Buddhist do?
The lineage was formally incorporated as a non-profit in 1989, when it took on official status. After meeting for years in rented rooms, Venerable Seonaidh Perks established the Anadaire Celtic Buddhist Center on 11 acres in Saxtons River, Vermont, where the sangha ("spiritual community") erected a stone circle that has aided in increasing and focusing energies for transformation.


Sangha
members are encouraged to establish a daily meditation practice. Practices range from a host of traditional Tibetan [Vajrayana] Buddhist practices to the more contemporary practices of the Celtic Fire visualization and working with the mandala of the Celtic cross. We also encourage integrating everyday practices in art, music, healing through various modalities -- including animals, and in the world of business.

As a group, some members have gone on yearly retreats to Maine (USA) or to further connect with latent Celtic energies to Ireland and Scotland. One member has delved into thangka painting to explore the emerging Celtic Buddhist mandala.

In March 2010, we celebrated the ordination of Sister Griffin as abbess of Glen Ard Abbey, a newly formed Celtic Buddhist monastery. More: celticbuddhism.org

First female 'Pope' for Church of England

Anglican leader: the Archbishop of Canterbury



A historic shift: Sarah Mullally becomes first female head of the Church of England

Don't spoil this for us, Sinead!
Right Honorable Dame Sarah Mullally has‌ broken barriers, ascending to the position of [the 106th] archbishop of Canterbury. This momentous ⁢appointment, announced on October 3rd, marks a pivotal turning point for the Church of England ⁣and​ the wider Anglican Communion.

Don't think of me as a woman!
She is the 106th individual to hold this esteemed⁣ role and, significantly, she is the first ‍woman to lead the⁣ church established nearly 500 years ago.

The Church of England’s origins trace back to 1534, when King Charles VIII sought to circumvent the ⁤[Roman Catholic] Pope’s refusal to annul‌ his marriage to Catherine of Aragon [who due to him would not bear him a male heir].
  • We say "Pope," but the official Church says she's the "ceremonial head" or primus inter pares, "first among equals.
This act fundamentally reshaped the religious landscape ⁣of England ⁤and now, centuries​ later, ‌it’s experiencing another profound transformation.

Rome still rules the world with its pope.
[Pope] Mullally, 63, was a leading⁤ contender to succeed Justin Welby, who stepped down in November 2024. Her reputation as⁤ a highly capable administrator undoubtedly played a key role in her ⁣selection. 
The Selection Process: An Intentional Path
What Brits need is more pomp 'n circumstance.
The Crown Nominations Commission, responsible for filling the Church of England’s most senior positions, chose Mullally. This commission⁤ comprises prominent bishops‍ and archbishops, and⁣ its process differs significantly‌ from the papal​ conclaves⁣ of the [Roman] Catholic Church. Here’s ‍a breakdown of how the selection unfolds:
  • Extensive⁣ Consultation: The Commission engages in months of thorough discussions and evaluations.
  • Rigorous review: Candidates are assessed on ⁤their theological understanding, leadership skills, and administrative experience.
  • Governmental Approval: Ultimately, the⁣ chosen nominee ‌requires validation from both the [UK] Prime Minister [Keir Starmer] and the King of England [Charles III], reflecting ⁣the Church of England’s‌ status as the state religion.
I’ve found that this deliberate, multi-layered process underscores the gravity of the Archbishop of Canterbury's position and the importance of selecting a ⁣leader equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities facing the church today. More

Ireland's prehistoric site, Europe's largest?


We've more and older archeology than England?
It seems that ancient Irish tales of "hollow hills" (underground caverns in mountains, as in Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" where ogres and supernatural beings dwell) are true. There are hillforts throughout the Emerald Isle. And the largest ever found in Northern Europe has just been uncovered, and it's massive.

Ireland discovery: the largest site ever
What, our pre-Christian roots go way back?
A vast prehistoric settlement hidden in the hills of County Wicklow is forcing archaeologists to rethink how people lived in Ireland more than 2,700 years ago.

What began as a closer look at a single hillfort has revealed a sprawling complex of ramparts, houses, and enclosures that specialists now say may be the largest clustered village ever identified in Ireland and Britain.

The scale of the discovery, and the suggestion that it could be the biggest prehistoric site of its kind in Northern Europe, is already reshaping debates about when urban-style living first emerged on the Atlantic edge of the continent.

We Irish Paddies stand with Palestinians!

The Wicklow hill that turned into a mega‑site
Baltinglass hillfort archeological site (monumentalireland.ie)

The story starts with a familiar landmark in the Irish landscape, a hillfort in Baltinglass that locals have long known as a dramatic feature above the County Wicklow countryside.

Archaeologists had catalogued it as one of several prominent fortified sites in the region, but new survey work has shown that the hilltop is only the core of a much larger complex.

What once looked like a single enclosure now appears to sit within a dense cluster of prehistoric houses and additional earthworks that extend across the slopes and surrounding ridges. More

Stained Glass Ceiling broken by woman


Dame Sarah Mullally named as new Archbishop of Canterbury | BBC News
(BBC News) Oct. 3, 2025: Dame Sarah Mullally is set to become the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England's history. A former NHS chief nurse, the 63-year-old became a priest in 2006 and was appointed as the first female Bishop of London in 2018 -- the third most senior member of clergy in the Church of England.

The Anglican Communion is active in 160 countries, Church of England
(Bad Religion) Neighbors..."The Voice of God is Government"

It is the first time in nearly 500 years of history that the Church nominated a woman to lead it. The Church had been without someone in the top job for almost a year, after Justin Welby resigned over his failure to report a prolific child abuser.

Winter Solstice: The Sun is Reborn

Maybe visiting Newgrange in Ireland or Adam's Calendar in Africa would be better.

Happy Solstice wishes
It's interesting that the most recent full moon was the most northerly Luna (Soma, Chandra) ever gets and that at this time it seems to pause in the sky, beckoning us to pause and reflect. Winter is like that, a time for rest and wise reflection. The light is reborn and continues to increase throughout the year. Urth (Bhumi, Tierra, Earth) has rhythms that though the Church has tried to obscure them are still there to notice and sync up with. The Moon is a clock and a calendar, the Sun a guide. There is rhythm to the seasons and an orderliness to Nature. If we ever pause to notice, we may see that things are okay. We have been made to worry by thinking and fretting, projecting into the future, but when we reflect on the now, everything is instantly okay. This is the meaning of mindfulness, to bring ourselves fully into the present. Things unfold. They work themselves out. We have our duties. And why would we be anywhere when we can be here now?

Ceremony takes place at Stonehenge to mark winter solstice 2024: Watch live
(Sky News) Streamed live. Happy first day of winter. Thousands of people are celebrating the winter solstice, one of the rare occasions visitors can touch the great stones, at Stonehenge. It means from tomorrow (Dec. 22), days will start to get a little longer again. #Stonehenge #Winter #Sunrise


The Irish Winter Solstice: A Journey through Time and Spirituality
(𝕴𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖍 𝕻𝖆𝖌𝖆𝖓 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝕶) Premiered Dec. 7, 2024: BLARNEY ROAD The Winter Solstice, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year, has held profound significance for the people of Ireland for millennia. This pivotal moment in the solar calendar was a time of great anticipation and reverence for early societies who lived in harmony with the natural world. In Ireland, this relationship with the solstice is perhaps most vividly preserved in the ancient monuments built to honor it, such as Newgrange in the Boyne Valley. These structures, with their precise alignments to the sun, reveal the extraordinary astronomical knowledge and spiritual depth of Ireland’s early inhabitants. For these ancient communities, the solstice symbolized the cyclical nature of life, marking the transition from darkness to light and the promise of renewal in the year ahead. Over time, this observance evolved, with Bronze Age and Iron Age societies incorporating the event into their spiritual and agricultural practices, while stone circles like Drombeg in County Cork and Dromnagorteen at the Cork/Kerry border continued to highlight the connection between humanity and the cosmos. The Winter Solstice is not just an ancient relic of the past; it is a living tradition that has woven itself into the fabric of Irish culture, spirituality, and identity, remaining an awe-inspiring moment of cosmic alignment and human reflection.

Oldest forest in the world found in UK


Not long ago, Cairo NY was oldest
A groundbreaking chance discovery in southwest England in the Hangman Sandstone Formation revealed the world's oldest fossilized forest. Dating back 390 million years, these ancient trees help grow our knowledge of early ecosystems and how we believe forests developed during the Middle Devonian period.
With trees similar to tiny palms and evidence of extinct arthropods, this fossil overshadows previous assumptions about the growing pains of our world's forests. More: 390-million-year-old fossilized forest unearthed in England's backyard – Earth's oldest ever!
