Jewish US Army intel officer quits over Gaza

Jewish U.S. Army intel officer quits over Gaza, says it's "impossible" not to see echoes of Nazi Holocaust

IDF Israeli military propaganda using coed soldiers aims to shame and recruit Jewish men.

(Democracy Now!) June 11, 2024: DN! speaks with Jewish U.S. Army Major Harrison Mann, the first military and intelligence officer to publicly resign over the Biden administration's support for Israel's genocide during its war on Gaza and Palestine.

Major Mann left his role at the Defense Intelligence Agency after a 13-year career, saying in a public letter explaining his resignation that "nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel…has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians."

Major Mann submitted his resignation on Nov. 1, just over three weeks into Israel's invasion of and assault on Gaza, but his separation from the military became effective last week.

"Even in the first weeks after October 7…it was really clear that they [Zionist Jewish Israelis] were prepared to inflict huge numbers of civilian [Palestinian] casualties," Major Mann tells Democracy Now!

"I understood that every day that I was going to go into the office, I was going to be contributing to the [genocidal] Israeli campaign."

Major Mann also explains how his Jewish background impacted his decision to resign, saying that while he was proud to wear the same uniform of soldiers who liberated Nazi concentration camps during World War II, it was "impossible" not to see echoes of the Holocaust in [Israel's] devastation of Gaza.

"Seeing photos of charred [human] bodies and burnt corpses and starved, emaciated children that are from 2023, 2024, not the '40s, it's impossible not to make that connection," says Major Mann.

"The situations are not perfectly analogous, but the moral similarities were very clear to me." [Nazis are known by their behavior not just their race, yet in this case, both are Germanic whites killing people they regard as dispensable.]

Israel has two CIAs: "ISIS" and "Mossad"

J. Dore, K. Metzger (TJDS); Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

“Mossad could stage false flag attack on U.S.” – concludes official United States Army report one day before the 9-11 false flag staged "attack," like the curiosity of Building 7, which collapsed spontaneously hours later and fell conveniently into its own footprint without being hit by a plane or anything. It seems a smoldering fire brought it down unexpectedly late in the day, not that anyone noticed or made much of it except Dr. Judy Wood (drjudywood.com).

Gen Z: The military ain't for me (video)

Jamesons Travels, 8/19/23; Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Gen Z explains why they won’t join the U.S. military: NOT what you think, but worse

Go to war, and one day we'll say, "F U for your..."

(Jamesons Travels) Gen Z teen explains why they are not joining. It's not what one would think...because it's worse.

[Actually, it's better. The kids are going to be all right. They don't want to join a patriarchal rape camp system of oppression that leads to so much unskillful karma that one would be working it out for generations and millennia to come. Killing for empire, oil, control, and world domination by transnational corporations? H to the no.

Today's military is pro-LGBTQIA+. Come
rape and harass and get it from comrades.

Come back a Republican alcoholic PTSD-sufferer, broken and ignored at by the V.A., dropped into homelessness, addicted, anxious, all messed up and looking forward to a pittance for "serving" in the Chair Force droning innocents then labelling them "combatants"? The U.S. military-industrial complex has a saying, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's by FEAR and goes, "Let's have a war so you can go die." Anyone who thinks YOU should join this man's army ought to go join themselves, the cowards.

Why is it bad karma to battle others?

Ven. Thanissaro (trans.) accesstoinsight.org; edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

KARMA: It's everywhere you're going to be.

One needs a livelihood (a way of earning a living or way of getting the funds to survive independently, most commonly a job, but not necessarily). 

Knowing that, the Buddha advises humans to avoid unskillful karma (unwholesome deeds that lead, when their results finally ripen whether in this life or a future life, to suffering).

He defined "wrong livelihood" for people. "A follower [of my advice] abstains from five types of business. What are those five? Trade in weapons, trade in human beings, trade in meat, trade in intoxicants, and trade in poisons" (AN 5.177).

Considering the military to become a soldier? It would be good to reconsider.

SUTRA: If I die in battle, I go to [Valhalla], right?

I killed all those people for nothing, out of ignorance, fear, and hatred. Now I'm going to...

.

Wait, Valhalla is a hell not a heaven?

The headman Yodhajiva went to the Blessed One [the Buddha], greeted him with respect, and sat respectfully to one side. Sitting there, he asked:

"Venerable sir, I have heard that it is passed down by the ancient teaching lineage of warriors that 'When a warrior strives and exerts himself in battle, if others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting himself in battle then, with the breakup of the body after death, he is reborn in the company of devas (shining ones) slain in battle.' What does the Blessed One have to say about that?"

"Enough, headman, set that question aside. Do not ask it." But a second time...and a third time the headman Yodhajiva asked it... 'What does the Blessed One have to say about that?"

"Headman, apparently, I am unable to get around it by saying, 'Enough, headman, set that question aside. Do not ask it.' So I will answer directly:

"When a warrior strives and exerts himself in battle, his mind is already seized, debased, and misdirected by the thought, 'May these beings be struck down or slaughtered, annihilated, destroyed. May they not exist.'

"If others then strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting himself in battle then, with the breakup of the body after death, he is reborn in a hell called the Realm of Those Slain in Battle.

"But if he holds such a view as, 'When a warrior strives and exerts himself in battle, if others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting himself in battle then, with the breakup of the body after death, he is reborn in the company of devas slain in battle,' that is a wrong view.

"Now truthfully I say, there are two destinations for a person with wrong view, hell or the animal realm."

How could I have been so dumb to believe that?

When this was said, the headman Yodhajiva began to sob and he burst into tears.

[The Blessed One said:] "That is what I could not get around by saying, 'Headman, enough, set that aside. Do not ask it.'" 

[Yodhajiva:] "Venerable sir, I'm not crying because of what the Blessed One said to me but because for so long time I have been deceived, cheated, and fooled by that ancient teaching lineage of warriors who said that'" (SN 42.3).

Why US Army tried to exterminate US buffalo

Darkroom (Vox, July 30, 2021); Xochitl, Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Why the US Army tried to exterminate the bison

(Vox) They killed them then took credit for “saving” them. In 1894, a notorious white poacher named Ed Howell was caught in Yellowstone National Park slaughtering bison, which were on the brink of extinction.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz & Dina Gilio-Whitaker

US Army soldiers patrolling the park brought him into custody, and the story led to the first US federal law protecting wildlife. The soldiers were thought of as heroes for stopping the killer. But it was the US Army that had been responsible for driving bison to near extinction in the first place.

In the mid-1800s, a cultural fiction, an unfounded belief, known as “Manifest Destiny” dictated that white settlers were the rightful owners of the entire North American continent – even though Native Americans had inhabited the land for thousands of years.

In order to clear land for white settlers, the US Army engaged in violent scorched-earth tactics against the Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains. One big part of that campaign was to eliminate their crucial food source: the bison.

Not a Nation of Immigrants (R. Dunbar-Ortiz)

By the end of the 1800s, a combination of commercial and recreational hunting, plus the actions of the US Army, had depleted the bison population to under a thousand, down from tens of millions at the beginning of the century.

Around the same time, the US government set aside some of the land once inhabited by the Plains Indians as a national park, and in 1872 Yellowstone was established.

A key mission of Yellowstone was to conserve the land and the animals that roamed there, including the bison.

Today, the soldiers who once patrolled the park are celebrated for having “saved” the bison in Yellowstone, obscuring their own violent contribution to the animal’s near extinction.

Join the Marines, get high, kill (video)

“So raw the [Marine] corps doesn’t want you to see it. One of most genuine looks at what the Forever War was like for those who waged it.” - James Clark, Task and Purpose

Combat Obscura (official trailer)

Oscilloscope Laboratories HD 2019

Just out of high school, at the age of 18, Miles Lagoze enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was deployed to Afghanistan, where he served as Combat Camera -- his unit's official videographer -- tasked with shooting and editing footage for the Marine Corps’ recruiting purposes and historical ["propaganda"] initiatives.

But upon discharging, Lagoze took all the footage he and his fellow cameramen shot. He assembled quite simply the very documentary the Corps does NOT want you to see. 

Combat Obscura is a groundbreaking look at daily life in a U.S. war zone as told by the Marines themselves.

More than a mere compilation of violence, the edit ingeniously repurposes the original footage to reveal the intensity and paradoxes of an ambiguous war all while getting high and doing unspeakably callous things for the military-industrial complex.

We kill and cover it up.

Watch their daily activities filmed from an unvarnished perspective. This film by Miles Lagoze is in theaters and video-on-demand beginning March 15th. Find out more at combatobscura.oscilloscope.net.

“The beauty of the film is its realness. All the footage is taken directly from his camera. Lagoze went on to compile all the events he felt were representative of his experience. He shows the gun fights, the cursing, the shouting, the laughter, the fear, and the hostility of the men in the war. Nothing is withheld.”

- Jessica Duffield, Vox Magazine

 

“War is not fought but lived, and this is as close to first-person as one can get without being there. ...America’s presence in Afghanistan overwhelms the troops...their jokey comradery gives way to vicious menace.”

Trump meets with top officials about US War on Afghanistan, now in its 17th year

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan

(AP, 3/15/19) A meeting in the secure room at the Pentagon called "the tank" included V.P. Mike Pence, Sec'y of State Mike Pompeo, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Pres. Trump's national security adviser John Bolton, among others. The session was a classified briefing about [the U.S. War on] Afghanistan, according to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the [specific] subject of the private briefing.... Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan said he has no orders to reduce the U.S. troop presence, although officials say that is at the top of the Taliban's list of demands in exploratory peace negotiations.

Should females face military draft?

kfiam640.iheart.com; Pfc. Sandoval, Crystal Q. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

You want me to kill? Want me killed?

A federal judge has ruled that it is unconstitutional to only force men to register for the draft when they turn 18. While the draft ended in 1973 following the Vietnam War, the MSSA (Military Selective Service Act) still requires all men between the ages of 18 and 25 to register for the draft. In 1981, the Supreme Court ruled that only requiring men to register was constitutional because at that time the military banned women from serving in combat roles. That changed in 2013, and Senior Judge Gray Miller of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas ruled that the government "can no longer justify the MSSA's gender-based discrimination." The lawsuit was filed by the National Coalition for Men, who praised the judges ruling. "Forcing only males to register is an aspect of socially institutionalized male disposability," the group said in a statement. "Men still face prison, fines, and denial of federal loans for not registering or for not updating the government of their whereabouts." Women, it said, "should face the same repercussions as men for any noncompliance."

Yeah, b*tch, I will [blank] you in the [blank]!

Thus have I heard. Yodhajiva the village headman went to the Buddha, bowed, sat respectfully to one side, and said:

"Venerable sir, I have heard that it has been passed down by the ancient teaching lineage of warriors that, 'When a warrior strives and exerts in battle, if others strike that person down and slay one while striving and exerting in battle then with the breakup of the body, after death, one is reborn in the company of devas slain in battle.' What do you have to say about that?"

Get out of military and kill citizens.

"Enough, headman. Set aside that question rather than asking it."

But a second time and a third time Yodhajiva the headman asked.

 

"Headman, apparently it has not been possible to get you to set that question aside by saying, 'Enough, headman. Set aside that question rather than asking it.' So I'll answer simply. When a warrior strives and exerts in battle, the mind is already seized, debased, and misdirected by the thought, 'May these beings be struck down, slaughtered, annihilated, destroyed. May they no more exist!'

Why question? Just kill.

"If others then strike that person down and slay one while one is striving and exerting in battle then, with the breakup of the body, after death, one is reborn in the hell called the realm of those slain in battle.

"But if one holds such a view as, 'When a warrior strives and exerts in battle, if others then strike that person down and slay one is striving and exerting in battle then, with the breakup of the body, after death, one is reborn in the company of devas slain in battle' -- that is wrong view.

I want you for imperial war, dummy!

"Now, there are two destinations for a person with wrong view, I declare, either hell or the animal world."

 

When this was said, Yodhajiva the headman burst into tears and sobbed. [The Buddha said:] "Headman, apparently it has not been possible to get you to set that question aside by saying, 'Enough, headman. Set aside that question rather than asking it.'"

Major Ed Dames on Remote Viewing (video)

Ed Dames (learnrv.com);Pat Macpherson, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The mind has many powers.

The CIA and the U.S. Army developed a protocol with over $20 million of funding called Remote Viewing (RV). It enables the unconscious mind's inherent ability to obtain knowledge about any person, place, or thing in the past, present, or future.

What separates official Remote Viewing protocols from anyone else that teaches some other system is that virtually anyone can learn this with no previous experience or "abilities" required.

HOW DOES THE RV TRAINING WORK?

The Learn Remote Viewing DVD course was built entirely from the ground up to offer a user-friendly experience that provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and interactive lessons to help practitioners proceed through each training stage.

After each lesson, a person will execute a blind practice target that incorporates what has just been learned, conducting each Remote Viewing practice session right along with classroom students on the DVDs.

After each session has ended, detailed feedback is immediately provided and the target is revealed. Comparing session results with the actual results of the classroom students makes learning more interactive.

The feedback segments show how accurately a person hit the target and where pitfalls may have been so that one quickly and continually becomes more accurate. This course was designed to allow one to go through each DVD at one's own pace. More

Birthday: Trump one year closer to death

"Allies of Evil" as Trump turns former US allies into our enemies (jensorensen.com)

See, what you people don't realize is that Turnip is so patriotic he was born on the same day as the US Army, Flag Day, and a Zombie. That's dedication, though it was the same day not the same year, but close. DJ is "old" now but still full of vigor and just as much of an [blank] as always. Don Juan -- middle name "John," which is interesting because he consorts with prostitutes behind his wife's back -- is not so bad. There have been worse presidents: Bush, Bush II, Cheney (the real move and shaker behind the previous two), Nixon, LBJ, to name a few.

F--- all of you. I'm president here!

Like Bush W., he wasn't really elected. He was selected, backed by the billionaire Mercers, who pull his strings. Everyone thinks he's doing these things and they fail to see who is really writing up legislation and executive orders. He can't write.

He can only distract, and that's why he is where he is. Good job! Look how well he does it. When he ceases to be useful in this way to the Republicans and the powers that be (who back both parties, or both wings of the only party we have, which some call the Money Party, and will not allow a third unless they can run it), he will be removed.

Racist? Nobody is more less racist than me.

What are We the People going to do about it anyway? Turnip has been the greatest motivator of involvement in politics there has ever been in this country, except for those two times those guys got everyone excited about "revolution." First there was false hope Barry Obama, and more recently there was sell out Bernie O'Sanders. To think that party politics is going to change anything with the set they have going is the height of not paying attention to how things really work.

  

Is Don Joey Trump our president? - Whaddya mean "nope"? I'm everybody's president!

Don't show pictures of me bald!! This is 100% my real hair, 110%! I'm virile. Ask Stormy!

I'm prez. Not this guy. He's my servant, right Pence? I don't know what I'm doing, but I know better than this guy. The Mercers selected me, not him. Look at the way he looks at me.

What the hell do I know about Korea? I'll offer him whatever he wants, see if he bites.

Look, you stupid pieces of [blank]. Oh, that reminds me, I gotta go take a [blank].

Stupid Obama doesn't know how to make deals. Weak. I saved 30 million lives in Korea.

Winner! I play golf here at Mar-Lago, and nobody beats me...or I throw them out.

I'm a germophobe...except when I eat with my dirty bare hands. Tell them, Junior.

I'm the best president, best president. You're lucky to have me. We're gonna start winning. Now, it's important, listen up, this is important. It's important you not arrest me or try to impeach me. Then we'll start winning.

Night at the Opera: My Lai massacre (audio)

The "American War," see it yourself: My Lai massacre site tour (hueprivatetours.com)

Vietnamese instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Võ plays instruments made from what used to be American weapons of war against Vietnam (Maria Alejandra Cardona/Los Angeles Times)

They have pursued a singular artistic vision that dates back to the ensemble’s origins.

 

In 1973 David Harrington was inspired to form the Kronos Quartet after hearing George Crumb’s Black Angels -- a highly unorthodox, Vietnam War-inspired work featuring bowed water glasses, spoken word passages, and electronic effects.

Kronos revisits the inspiration for the founding of the group with My Lai.

The infamous 1968 massacre by American soldiers of unarmed Vietnamese villagers provides the context for this gripping new work... featuring Vietnamese multi-instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Võ.

My Lai features traditional Vietnamese instruments and digitally processed sounds.

It's told from the perspective of the heroic helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson, who tried to stop the slaughter and was vilified for reporting it. More

My Lai massacre, 50 years later: Jonathan Berger's opera captures the madness

Shut the hell up! Shut the hell up!! You're all DEAD for messing with the US of A!

The Mỹ Lai Massacre was the US soldiers' mass murder of between 347 and 504 innocent, unarmed civilians in South Vietnam on March 16, 1968. It was committed by U.S military men who raped children and killed women and old men as ethnic cleansing.

.

I didn't mean it. It was orders from the top!

There is more than enough method to Eckert's evocation of madness, over the opera's 75 minutes, to make his performance far more than a commanding study in delusion.
 

Thompson may no longer know what is real, but we do. During his second landing, the pilot says he had to "dive, and dive, and dive…into madness." The listener is right there with him.
 

Murdered Vietnamese man and sons (W)

The helicopter gunners are said to be incredulous, angelic, mortified. Eckert's own howling is the explosiveness of not being able to express the inexpressible.

But he can just as convincingly turn melancholic and, ultimately, angelic, the inexpressible very much being conveyed.

Ronald Haeberle bravely documented American War crimes at My Lai, bodies burning (W)

Hold him while I kick him in the head for looking at me funny! Teach him to squint at me! Here, get out of the way, I'm blowing his motherfatherin' head off right here! (G-P)

Whoa, did we do that...in Afghanistan, too?

And then there is Kronos. Berger makes the quartet the glue of the conveyance of mood, place, event, and meaning through a rich variety of string writing.

The quartet here does not call attention to itself, but its instinctual rightness makes any given moment matter.
 

After a half-century, it is now easy enough to memorialize the dead of My Lai and honor Thompson to assuage our collective guilt. That's not Berger's "My Lai."

Yum, let's go eat dead meat to celebrate! Irony

The work does not truck in anodyne catharsis even as it reminds us of our ability to stumble across beauty when there is otherwise no meaning, only insanity, to be found. More

Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam

In his book Kill Anything That Moves, Nick Turse reveals that the American War’s casualty figures are staggering. From 1955 to 1975:

• The United States killed more than 5,800,000 military personnel in Southeast Asia.
• Vietnamese troops were wounded around 30,400,000 times.
• Of those, 15,300,000 cases were serious enough to require hospitalization.
• And 7,500,000 veterans were left severely disabled.
• [These number were 100 times less for US soldiers who invaded Vietnam to rape, pillage, murder, subjugate, and enslave the Vietnamese.]

Should we burn 'em, sarge?

“While Americans who served in Vietnam paid a grave price, an extremely conservative estimate of Vietnamese deaths found them to be proportionally 100 times greater than those suffered by the United States” (p.11)

 

Nick Turse also states that according to Westmoreland’s memoir, MacArthur “urged me to make sure I always had plenty of artillery, for the Oriental, he said, ‘greatly fears artillery,’” and suggested that Westmoreland might have to employ a “scorched earth policy” in Vietnam (p.61).
