2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.; 10/17/23, 8:00 PM
Buckwheathikes said...: The New York Times blared the headline: "Israel Strike Kills Hundreds At Hospital, Palestinians Say."

Do you see it yet? How they did that.

Which part did the "Palestinians Say?" Did they say the "attack" killed hundreds. Or did they say "Israel attacked a hospital."

The New York Times is deliberately obtuse on that because of course they want you to believe that Jews are inhuman and they attack hospitals. Like the Nazi's before them, the NY Times needs to dehumanize Jews so you'll approve of their elimination.

Since when does a reputable media outlet in the United States quote an al Qaeda spokesman they keep hidden from view saying that 9-11 was an inside job?

Are you Jews in New York paying attention? Your newspaper is on the side of Holocaust 2.0 and you guys haven't even ... well, you know. Do I need to spell it out for you? What are you waiting for? Actual ovens? Zyklon B on order?; 10/17/23, 8:01 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: YouTube: Speaking of an elephant in the room

These guys must’ve figured they can’t get in any more trouble than they already are.

Hint, YouTube transcript: ...we are being asked to accept that the Israeli military and intelligence complex aired so massively as to allow this incredible breach of this border that apparently according to a captured Hamas operative shocked even them they did not expect to be able to do this now I don't know if that's true or not it could be propaganda who knows but we are being asked to accept that there is some organic explanation and that we are furiously trying to figure out what it might be when that extends well beyond any plausible failure and I will defend that in a second if I need to but superficially to say if that failure is beyond what an organic failure could produce plausibly then the question is has something gotten into the Israeli system that is ready to sacrifice civilians or some other purpose that has not been named and we do not know and that's an incredible thought it's a terrible thought on the other hand if you look at what Israel did during ovid right the entire population was betrayed Israel had amongst the highest vaccin rates of any country on Earth that was the result of whatever it is that controls the Israeli system of government inflicting unnecessary harm on the population of Israel I don't know what to make of it but the fact that you have two historical events that appear to have nothing to do with each other that share the characteristic of looking like something that must go beyond the level of organic failure both of which involve something in control that has asymmetrical access to information putting the population of citizens in
Jeopardy of terrible things and then not telling the truth about it right and again I think um you know massive unprecedented error I would say that error there is doing the same job as broken in what I was talking about earlier that error and broken uh can mean two totally different things you know perhaps everyone involved is actually overwhelmed with with grief and a desire that this never ever ever happen again.; 10/17/23, 8:07 PM
Buckwheathikes said...: Here's the headline at Ace of Spades:

"The Wealthy Liberal Huntsman Family Closes Its Checkbook on the University of Pennsylvania, Update: Les Wexner Closes Checkbook to Harvard."

What does this tell you? It tells you that - up until just now - rich US Jews have been funding these institutions which create Palestinian terrorist-adjacent radicalized students.

Now why would they have been doing that? Up to now?; 10/17/23, 8:17 PM
Buckwheathikes said...: Just to remind everyone ... Elon Musk allows the nation of Iran - a literal terrorist state which has as a policy the genocide of the Jewish people ... to use his Twitter app.

Elon Musk lets avowed terrorists use Twitter to get their message out. Aid and comfort.

And yes, I hope when the new Nuremberg Trials begin, this post is prominently featured.; 10/17/23, 8:23 PM

Rt41Rebel said...: Biden insists on flying into Israel, despite leaders from neighboring nations cancelling meetings with him. What's the best outcome?

1) Bibi also refuses to meet with Biden, or dresses his senile ass down in front of the world.
2) Joe falls down or up AF1 stairway in front of the world.
3) AF1 is shot down, or a missile strike takes out Biden's convoy.; 10/17/23, 10:35 PM

Josephbleau said...: I was re reading Caesar today,

O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!

Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood.
Over thy wounds now do I prophesy
(Which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue)
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;

Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quartered with the hands of war;

Things have not changed since Shakespeare’s day.; 10/18/23, 12:52 AM

Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: It is interesting that under the rule of "never let a crisis go to waste" there is an attack on X, which is just about the only real free speech outlet out there.; 10/18/23, 6:27 AM
boatbuilder said...: Wow, Buckwheathikes. You want Musk to censor speech that you consider to be evil and destructive. And you want him to be punished for "letting [the people you consider to be evil] to "get their message out."

That is precisely the rationale that the former regime at Twitter used to censor and silence any opposition to their preferred narratives, and those of the government. It is precisely anathema to the ideals embodied in the First Amendment. It is precisely the rationale which was and is used to control what we are permitted to speak, hear and criticise.

Musk is quite courageously resisting that.

It seems to me that Iran has very little difficulty getting their message out in any event, through the organs of our lefty press.

Iran is a terrorist sponsor and is evil. Deal with it. Don't blame the messenger.; 10/18/23, 7:15 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Yes X has an exception to the violent speech rule for the official accounts of world leaders. Let them say what they believe. Archive the official speech of these despicable tyrants. The world is better off knowing than not knowing. I prefer that to the curated edited fiction of the DNC-Media Complex.; 10/18/23, 7:52 AM

If you look at the 20 Republicans that just voted against
@Jim_Jordan
for Speaker, they all fall into one of three categories:

Appropriators: There's an old saying in Congress that there are three parties: Democrats, Republicans, and appropriators. These people make up the bureaucratic industrial complexes and want to be able to continue deficit spending like there's no tomorrow. Of the 20 Jordan No's, seven were members of the House Appropriations Committee: Kay Granger, Mike Simpson, Mario Diaz-Balart, Steve Womack, John Rutherford, Tony Gonzales, and Jake Ellzey.

Defense Hawks: Pretty simple category here. These are the people that are scared Speaker Jordan would stop them from being able to give an endless amount of money to Ukraine and other pointless wars in random parts of the globe. Jim Jordan hinted as much that the gravy train to Ukraine would be slowed so now they're denying him the Speakership. Of the 20 Jordan No's, four are members of the Armed Services Committee: Don Bacon, Carlos Gimenez, Jen Kiggans, and Nick LaLota.

Members in Biden-won Districts: This category probably seems to make more sense to you. They represent blue districts therefore they don't want to vote for a conservative like Jim Jordan. But here's the thing: There are several members like Brian Fitzpatrick, David Valadao, and others who also represent blue districts but just voted for him. Do you also really think the average voter in their district even cares who the Speaker is? What the holdouts have in common is that they're all freshmen members of Congress who desperately need K-Street money in order to be re-elected next year: Anthony D'Esposito, Andrew Garbarino, Nick LaLota, and Mike Lawler.

On top of that, all but two of the 20 Jordan No's submitted earmarks requests for the latest budget.

Basically, Jim Jordan is being opposed by members who are a part of the military and bureaucratic industrial complexes, as well as members who need lobbyist dollars to be re-elected.
