Israel is a Top 10 exporter of arms (U$ money)

Scott Ritter (Navy Media), Nov. 20, 2023; Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

UN Weapons Inspector, US Marine Corps Officer Scott Ritter EXPOSES terrifying truth about Israel
(Navy Media) VERENIGDE STATEN. This is an eye-opening exploration. UN Weapons Inspector and US Marine Corps Officer Scott Ritter reveals shocking truths about Israel's war on the civilians of Gaza (where there is or was a Hamas) and the West Bank (where there is not now nor previously a Hamas).

This video delves into the complex dynamics of trying to survive as a child, woman, or civilian in the Gaza Strip, Israeli security setbacks, and the intricate geopolitics shaping the rise of the political party known as Hamas, which was propped up and funded by PM Netanyahu because he was sure he could control it.

Muslim analyzes the situation

NM uncovers the unintended consequences of Israel's genocidal strategies, the intense PLO vs. Hamas conflict, and the escalating tensions between Israel and its neighbor Iran.

Witness how these events intertwine with US strategies in the Middle East and contemplate the future of this volatile region.

Scott Ritter's insights provide a stark reminder of the realities of modern warfare and intelligence. #usnavy #israel
The West has not thought Israel's War on Gaza through, with Dr. Haitham al-Haddad
(Islam21c) Oct. 26, 2023: At a time when the world is engrossed in the Israeli war on Gaza, Shaykh [Sheikh] Dr. Haitham al-Haddad provides a much-needed analysis on the state of affairs apart from Israeli disinformation and propaganda.

In this week's Islamic Thought video by Islam21c, Shaykh Haitham delves into a variety of topics including the strategic miscalculations made by the West, the role of the Muslim Ummah, and the broader implications for global order and justice.

Key Takeaways
1️⃣ Israel has already lost its war: Shaykh Haitham evaluates the state of Israel's military efforts, scrutinizing the nation's failure to secure a decisive victory despite superior firepower.
2️⃣ The future of the conflict: An incisive look at where this enduring struggle is heading, considering factors such as international law, geopolitical alliances, and the role of global superpowers.
3️⃣ Existence is resistance: The very existence of Palestinians stands as a form of resistance against the occupation. Shaykh Haitham discusses how, even in the event of an Israeli "win," the nation would find itself isolated, its actions standing in stark opposition to the values of justice and human rights and perceived as respecting neither by the [2 billion strong] Muslim world.
4️⃣ A clash of civilizations? This conflict has far-reaching implications and is increasingly perceived in the Muslim world as a struggle between Western powers and Muslims. The West's selective application of justice has only served to fuel this perception.
5️⃣ A crisis within the Ummah: Shaykh Haitham criticizes Muslim political leaders, arguing that they have failed to represent the Ummah effectively, instead opting to suppress it from within.

Love is powerful: Even people whose parents exploited them still feel love, still long to be loved. Surviving childhood abuse depended once on tolerating and fitting ourselves to people who could not fully love. As an adult, this tendency keeps us trapped in half-love relationships.

How to Get Girls to Like You in 10 Secs (video)

Kate Spring, March 1st, 2018; EIC; Ashley Wells, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


How To Make A Woman Like You In Under 10 Seconds
"Expert" Kate Spring
I’m Kate Spring, a dating and relationship coach from the West Coast of Canada, and today I want to share a super-fast way that you can make a girl like you within the first 10 seconds of meeting her.
 
No, this is not Jedi-Mind Tricks 101, but a simple psychology. There are some basic things you should do in preparation to woo women, the basics including bathing and dressing for success. Get yourself looking and smelling fresh because that is the FIRST thing to which women pay attention. Wash your clothes. Don’t go out and spend thousands of dollars on new clothes. Wear clothes that fit you but are clean. That is the prep work.
 
Now, there is a secret system I created that will make any woman like you within seconds of meeting her. This isn’t necessarily reliant on the words you speak. On the contrary, it is how you look, yes, look, and I mean that literally and figuratively.
 
It takes less than two seconds for someone to make an opinion about you, according to a study done by the Harvard School of Health Sciences. The study conducted had students look at a tw second video clip of a professor and make assumptions about this person’s character and likeability.

These students, who only saw this professor for two seconds, came to the same conclusions as students who had been in this professor’s class for an entire semester. What can we learn from this?
 
This shows me that we make snap judgments daily! So knowing that we actually decide if we like someone within two seconds of meeting them is crucial for you to know in your dating endeavors. When we like someone, we see the best in them. Let me repeat: We see the best in them! If a woman likes you within the first two seconds of meeting you, she will want to get to know you.
 
At this point, you’re probably wondering what you can do to become instantly likeable. In Nicholas Boothman’s book How To Make People Like You In 90 Seconds Or Less, he talks about how ATTITUDE, above all else, at the beginning of an encounter, will determine the result of that encounter and whether we succeed or fail.
 
We respond to the attitude that comes through body language. Attitude determines how our non-verbal message will be received. Once you have the right attitude, it’s time to employ the L.S.O. System. That is to
  1. Look
  2. Smile, and
  3. Open up your body.
1. Look: Look a woman in the eye when you meet her. This is a sign of confidence, and it is also an indication that you’re a well-mannered man. In Western culture, if you were to look at the ground when you meet someone, that lack of eye contact is actually a sign of submission to your conversation partner. It automatically places you in an inferior position.

(EIC) A man's opinion and advice. What women don't want men to know
 
Similarly, if your gaze is directed to someone else in the room when speaking to your conversation partner, you’re non-verbally saying to that partner, “you’re not important” or “I’m only half paying attention to you.” This dismissive attitude with not aid in a favorable outcome. So far, this is pretty straightforward information when we break it down, but it’s important to remember these things because they often can get lost in the immediacy of the moment, especially when we feel pressure to perform well. And it becomes even more the case when we’re meeting someone for the first time that we like and think is attractive.
  • Tip: First things first: Make eye contact.
2. Smile When we first meet people, we immediately make a distinction about whether they are good or bad, what Nicholas Boothman says is, “are you charming or alarming?” Smiling is one of the key ways to make yourself charming and not alarming. Again, this all comes back to the attitude that your body is projecting. And smiling is one of, if not the easiest, ways to create a charming attitude. More

How we snuck into Coachella (video)

PeaceLoveCaitlin; You Know; Nameless; Brandon Brown; Connery Callaway; Barbu; Marc Phelps; Niki D; Seth Auberon, Dev, Crystal Quintero, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Remember, Step 1, rationalize the h*ll out of what you're doing, and blame Mr. Coachella for being a jerk. If when caught, start talking like this and bore security to death.
(You Know, April 20, 2016) "Pure adrenaline!" comments Thomas Weinreich. SONG: "Opus" by Eric Prydz, used without permission, natch. Disclaimer: You Know is now serving a 48 hour sentence in his room for talking back to his mom when she said he could not borrow her car to drive out to the desert with his pothead friends again this year. Eh, buy a car, dude, or at least refill her tank when you use it. What kind of society are we living in?

WARNING: If you play by the rules, this will upset you. If you don't, laugh. Be happy some people circumvent the corporate power structure's money-milking mousetrap. Plan A: When sneaking into Coachella for free, which is impossible, take Tiger Mountain by strategy:



Bring a bandana as a dust- and sunblock. Scope out the perimeter. Find and exploit weaknesses in the unmonitored miles of fencing. Be in good shape to jump; bend knees when you land. Then get ready to walk...all weekend long. And after all that trouble and excitement...end up at the front entrance gates? WTH?



(Well, it's a good way to avoid the steep parking fees, we guess, if you guys don't mind parking your mom's car somewhere where it might get towed and where you can't access it to camp, which is required because where will you sleep overnight when the curfews are imposed as one part of the polo field is closed at night until the next day, and you have to sneak in all over again?)

What it's really like inside: Dusty walking


Notice all of the WALKING everyone is doing? That's what "Coachella" is -- walking, waiting in line, and paying through the nose after you arrive.

Anyway, Plan B: Play dumb. It's not like these people get paid that much, so sometimes they just don't care that much. Just walk through. And when stopped, questioned, or caught, RUN! Blend in. Getting in for free is impossible. It's not happening, and neither is this:

Suicide and Self-Immolation in Tibet (video)

Editors, Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
()  Disturbing video from the Free Tibet group allegedly shows a Tibetan Buddhist monk after he committed self-immolation in Ngaba (Aba). Report by Mark Morris.

Suicide is never advisable. Running from suffering (dukkha) by running toward more suffering is no way to end suffering.
   
Self-martyrdom is no way to garner attention of a cause. The world knows Tibet is suffering. Decades ago when the CIA entered the Himalayas to thwart China, India, and Central Asian states and assert strategic control of the Himalayan region, it brokered a deal with the Dalai Lama and Tibet's church-and-state government. 
  
The result has been part of fallout of that devil's bargain.
  
Chinese police beat burn survivors to death and courts imprison others.
    
The Dalai Lama, technically speaking, by accepting such aid and advice from US imperial forces (the West's multinational Military-Industrial Complex) became a CIA operative. When did he ever renounce his membership? What did that lesser-of-two-evils choice do for Tibet?
   
It may have kept Tibet on the map. But the US can neither control China nor defeat it. In its attempt to subvert the world's biggest country, it has made Tibet a pawn.
   
As Tibet is seen to align with Western military forces and India, who hosts its government-in-exile in Dharamsala to spite China, China applies medieval police state special weapons and tactics (SWAT) on it. Those weapons and tactics are American exports.
   
Self-immolation only causes China humiliation, and it uses the loss of face to justify becoming more and more draconian
   
What do the US, MIC, NATO, or any other Western nation do? They secretly fund and train paramilitary forces around the world on how to use these exact same tactics against civilian populations.
  
In the meantime, Buddhism is misrepresented as applauding this form of suicide and self-directed violence.
  
() Stratfor's Rodger Baker, Vice President of Strategic Intelligence, examines the tactic of self-immolation as a way to galvanize protest movements.
   
Self-immolators are exhibiting nationalist tendencies far more than exemplifying any Buddhist teaching. 
   
A selfless act in line with anatta ("not-self," the impersonal nature of ego, the physical-and-psychological phenomena we feel closest to) or shunyata (the "emptiness" of all conditioned phenomena) would exhibit qualities the Buddha was famous for: 
  • equanimity (non-bias), compassion, kindness, wisdom...
In desperation, to heat up a cold war with the Chinese Empire, guerrilla tactics are no way to win. We burn ourselves, we burn the other, and we both are the worse for it.
   
Of course, as humans, as Buddhists, as Americans, we side with Tibet. Of course, we side with the 14th Dalai Lama (a benevolent king/pope, who fortunately retired from his role as head of state). But we do not side with the forces of war.
  
It is not clear that the CIA is any better than the Chinese Communist regime putting into effect its own dreams of empire. 
  
Will the CIA/MIC win and deliver semi-autonomous Tibetan, Uygur, and Taiwanese regions to freedom? Not a chance. It is only exchanging one dictator for another. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" (The Who). Look what CAI/MIC plotted using Japan to ransack China's gold during the time of the pre-Communist government.

SOLUTIONS: Open minds Occupy Hearts

Canvasopedia.org; Wisdom Quarterly (SOLUTIONS), Occupy LA Interfaith Committee
Hearts can grow as wide as the boundless sky (Lel4nd/Flickr.com).

Open minds OCCUPY hearts...if they have effective strategies for day-to-day nonviolent struggle. This book is for positive movements. This is for those who want to work for justice that ends repression.

Strategic Everyday Tactics
Srdja Popovic, Andrej Milivojevic, and Slobodan Djinovic
This book is a field guide for waging a strategic nonviolent struggle.

It offers a rich and diverse array of practical information that nonviolent activists need to know.

The user-friendly format of the book complements the presentation of the content in themed chapters.

The sections are organized around answering questions that range from techniques of daily management to strategic planning.

It was written by those who successfully fought against repressive regimes using strategic nonviolent action.

So the book is designed as a ready-to-use tool for frontline practitioners who work in non-democratic and sometimes violent environments. It works even better in established democracies which are not living up to their ideals.



Based on firsthand experience from the struggles in Serbia and Georgia, the lessons learned in Ukraine, Belarus, Zimbabwe, and other countries are also woven in.

This fills the gap between the tremendous "theoretical" insights developed by scholars and the accumulated experience of front line practitioners.

On the one hand, this is achieved by creating a synergy between academic knowledge and the expertise of authors and outside participants in the project.

On the other hand, it combines with the lived experience of successful activists and leaders.

The contents and format build a bridge between strategy and theory. It avoids being "heavy" and theoretical. Instead, it takes a "cook book" approach. It is a manual for political and public-interest campaigns. Best of all it focuses on tactics. The focus is firmly on practical "how to" questions:

  • How do you plan public actions with just a few supporters?
  • How do you recruit, train, and retain pro-reform activists?
  • How do you manage scarce assets, volunteers, materials?
  • How do you plan and run campaigns with a feedback-loop?
  • How do you prepare to overcome the influence of FEAR?
  • How do you minimize surveillance and police repression?
"A Force More Powerful"
Those launching strategic nonviolent struggles in any environment will find enough information to succeed.

Steer clear of common mistakes. Focus on idealistic-realistic objectives. Efficiently structure movements.

It also shows how to effectively influence public attitudes. In this way ordinary citizens want to participate in the struggle.

The book is compatible with such writings as those of the Albert Einstein Institution and the new computer game "A Force More Powerful."

US declares war on Libya

Wisdom Quarterly (ANALYSIS)
The Arab League has called on the UN for help, making a deal with the devil in the process. Will the US keep its word to simply stop flights over Libya, or will it slowly, imperceptibly move in, build permanent bases, and install a new dictator more to its liking? Even Italy has turned its colonial back on Muamar Qaddafi.


Today Pres. Obama announced new war plans for the US. Los Angeles Buddhists and others will demonstrate this weekend against all the wars US forces have their hands in.

Of course the United States never "declares" war anymore. That would mean some measure of oversight. It has not since at least its military adventures in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia, which history obscures or dismisses as "conflicts."

So perhaps the headline should not explicitly state the real meaning but just repeat the spin: US pushes UN for no-fly zone over Libya, which will have to include some ground troops -- but we will not be calling it a war.

Obama went on TV/radio/Web from the White House to declare: All attacks by Libyan forces must stop, all power and utilities must be provided to all Libyans, and aid organizations [sprinkled with a few spies and operatives of course] must be allowed in, or Moammar Gaddafi is in violation of a new UN resolution, which as in Iraq is tantamount to inviting war. These conditions are "non-negotiable," and we'll be deciding if the US-propped Libyan dictatorship is in violation.


"WAR NO," the hands of a young peace demonstrator read in Spanish (puppetgov.com)

This officially makes Pres. Obama a war monger and adds poignancy to the peaceful anti-war demonstrations planned for Los Angeles on March 19, 2011. Some may argue that Barack "Barry Soetoro" Obama achieved that status when he flip flopped on closing Guantanamo prison or stopping American torture of innocent (until proven guilty) political prisoners like US Army Pfc. Bradley Manning.

The Bush administrations, of which Obama seems to be a direct descendent, were not related to NAZIs, except for grandfather Prescott Bush.

Others might argue that he became a war monger when he began to expand the US war on Afghanistan to include Pakistan, the surrounding area, and any collateral damage US operated drones might want to inflict with impunity. Thank you, WikiLeaks. Now Sweden has no real choice but to become a kangaroo court by proxy for the US State Department, Pentagon, and the clandestine Powers That Be.

Q: Why don't we, the United States of America, just declare ourselves the rulers of the world already?

A: Because it's much easier to rule the world in secret. The CIA has been doing it for decades, and the ex-German National Socialist clandestine infrastructure has been doing it when power transferred to the US long before there was a CIA/NSA/NSC, Pentagon, or Shadow Government. Why expend the hardware in every nation when controlling the World Monetary Fund (a proverbial single monetary system)? Why send in the Jackals when the Economic Hitmen are doing such a good job of taking over every nation we wish to control?

It sounds like a slur or an exaggeration, but our country really served Nazi bankers and scientists. Why wouldn't we juggle wars all over the Middle East? That's what the vaulting ambition of empire leads to.
