ثمانية أطفال … وقصة شعب لا يُهزم حين تنتصر الحياة على الحصار مشاهد توثّق عودة الأطفال الخُدّج إلى أحضان أمهاتهم… تلك اللحظات التي لا تُقدّر بثمن، والتي جاءت جبرًا لخواطرنا بعد وجعٍ لا يوصف. لم تكن هذه العودة مجرد حدث… بل كانت ثمرة تضحيات عظيمة، قدّمها الكادر الصحي وأبناء شعبنا، من دمائهم، وأجسادهم، وجوعهم، ونزوحهم… تضحيات لا يستطيع أحد أن يتخيّل حجمها. هذه اللحظات كُتبت بدماء من استُشهدوا، وبآلام من اعتُقلوا وعُذّبوا، وبصبر من لا يزالون خلف القضبان، ينتظرون لحظة كهذه… لحظة الحياة. نحن لا نتحدث عن أطفال فقط، بل عن مستقبل شعب، وعن غدٍ يُكتب من جديد، عن طفل فلسطيني حاول الاحتلال أن يمحوه، فإذا به يعود شاهدًا على فشل الإبادة، وصمود الحياة في وجه الموت. اليوم عادوا… ثمانية أطفال خدّج، كانوا بين الحياة والموت، فعادوا ليحكوا قصة انتصار الإرادة والإيمان. في نوفمبر 2023، وتحت حصار مجمع الشفاء الطبي، حيث قُطع الماء والكهرباء والأكسجين، وكان هناك 33 طفلًا خدّجًا في الحضّانات… نُقلوا تحت القصف، في ظروف بالغة القسوة، بحثًا عن لحظة أمان. غطّينا أجسادهم بالقصدير لنحميهم من البرد، وحرمنا أنفسنا من الماء لنوفّر لهم قطرة حياة، ففقدنا بعضهم… وبقي بعضهم يقاوم. وثّقنا صورهم، فاهتزّ لها ضمير العالم، حتى جاء يوم إجلائهم إلى جمهورية مصر العربية، في رحلة محفوفة بالخطر، بين الدبابات والجنود. دفعنا ثمنًا باهظًا كي لا نتركهم… وبقينا معهم حتى آخر لحظة. واليوم… عادوا. عادوا أحياء، إلى أحضان أمهاتهم، ليقولوا للعالم: إن إرادة الحياة أقوى من إرادة القتل، وأن غزة… رغم الألم، تصنع المجد، وتكتب النصر بإذن الله. Eight Children… and the Story of an Unbreakable People | When Life Triumphs Over Siege Scenes documenting the return of premature babies to their mothers’ arms… Moments beyond value—moments that healed broken hearts after unimaginable pain. This was not just an event. It was the result of immense sacrifices made by healthcare workers and our people— through their blood, bodies, hunger, and displacement. Sacrifices beyond comprehension. These moments were written with the blood of martyrs, the suffering of the detained and tortured, and the patience of those still imprisoned— waiting for a moment like this… a moment of life. We are not speaking only of children, but of a nation’s future being reborn. Of a Palestinian child whom the occupation tried to erase, yet returned as living proof that life defeats extermination. Today, they have returned… Eight premature babies who once hovered between life and death, now telling a story of faith and resilience. In November 2023, under the siege of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, water, electricity, and oxygen were cut off. There were 33 premature babies in incubators. Under bombardment, they were moved in extremely dangerous and harsh conditions in search of safety. We wrapped their fragile bodies in foil to protect them from the cold. We deprived ourselves of clean water to give them a chance to live. Some were lost… others survived. Their images were captured and shared, shaking the conscience of the world. After ten days, they were evacuated to Egypt in a perilous journey amid tanks and soldiers. We paid a heavy price to stay by their side… and never abandoned them. Today, they return—alive— to their mothers’ embrace, declaring to the world: That the will to live is stronger than the will to kill. And that Gaza—despite all pain— continues to create dignity, and write victory, by the will of God.

The idea that "the West and the Jews are the reason why we have dysfunctional countries in the Arab world” is a dishonest deflection. How many innocent women and girls are supposed to be murdered by their families in the name of honor for us to realize that our problem is internal? How many men and children are supposed to support terrorist organizations for us to realize that we have a major ideological problem? How many of our minorities, like the Jews, the Kurds, and the gays, should pack their bags and run away from our countries until we realize that we are indiscriminately hostile to those different from us? How many of our girls should get married until we realize we have a problem? How many atheists, blasphemers, and ex-Muslims are supposed to get jailed or killed until we realize that we have a problem with empathy? How many gays are supposed to get hanged or thrown from rooftops until we realize that we do not care about our people? How many painters, artists, teachers, and comedians are supposed to be slaughtered by extremists until we realize that the problem comes from us? How much Arab blood is supposed to be spilled by other Arabs until we realize that WE are our biggest problem? Change doesn’t start ”out there” – it starts with us. We cannot continue to repeat the same traditions from our failed cultures and then point our fingers at the West and the Jews and say, ”They are the problem.” Blaming the West and the Jews is a convenient scapegoat. It means that the problem isn’t within us. It means that they should work on themselves, but we? We can remain as we are. Believing that our teachings and our culture are perfect is a problem. If we keep doing this: blaming ”them,” instead of working on ourselves, then the Arab and Muslim communities will continue to regress. إن فكرة أن "الغرب واليهود هم السبب وراء اختلال الدول العربية" فكرة غير صريحة. كم من النساء والفتيات البريئات من المفترض أن يقتلنا على أيدي عائلاتهن باسم الشرف حتى ندرك أن مشكلتنا داخلية؟ كم من الرجال والأطفال يجب أن يدعموا منظمات إرهابية حتى ندرك أن لدينا مشكلة أيديولوجية كبيرة؟ كم من الأقليات لدينا، مثل اليهود والأكراد والمثليين، يجب أن يحزموا حقائبهم ويهربوا من بلداننا حتى ندرك أننا نعادي أولئك الأخرون المختلفون؟ كم من طفلاتنا يجب أن يتزوجن حتى ندرك أن لدينا مشكلة؟ كم من الملحدين والكفار والمسلمين المرتدين يفترض سجنهم او قتلهم حتى ندرك أن لدينا مشكلة في اللاتعاطف معهم؟ كم من المثليين يفترض شنقهم أو رميهم من فوق أسطح المنازل حتى ندرك أننا لا نهتم بالبشر؟ كم من الرسامين والفنانين والمدرسين والكوميديين من المفترض ذبحهم من قبل المتطرفين حتى ندرك أن المشكلة تأتي منا؟ كم من الدماء العربية يفترض أن تسيل على ايادي عرب اخرين حتى ندرك أننا نحن انفسنا المشكلة الكبرى؟ التغيير لا يبدأ "من هناك"، بل يبدأ هنا وبنا لا يمكننا أن نستمر في تكرار نفس تقاليد ثقافتنا الفاشلة ثم نشير بأصابعنا إلى الأخرين ونقول: "إنهم هم المشكلة". إن إلقاء اللوم على الغرب واليهود ككبش فداء، أمر يناسبنا. بمعنى أن المشكلة ليست فينا. وهذا يعني أن الأخرين يجب أن يغيروا من أنفسهم، ولكن نحن؟ لا، يمكننا أن نبقى كما نحن. إن الاعتقاد بأن تعاليمنا وثقافتنا مثالية مشكلة. إذا واصلنا القيام بذلك: إلقاء اللوم على الأخر، بدلاً من تغيرنا نحن، فإن المجتمعات العربية الإسلامية ستستمر في التراجع.

🚨 BREAKING: The White House has begun releasing President Trump's 20-point peace plan between Israel and Gaza PRESIDENT TRUMP would chair the transition board Major points are as follows: ➡️ HOSTAGES & PRISONERS: All hostages, both alive and deceased, to be returned within 72 hours of Israel's acceptance. In return, Israel will release 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 detainees ➡️ CEASEFIRE: All military operations suspended; IDF withdrawal tied to demilitarization milestones ➡️ GAZA'S FUTURE: To become a “deradicalized, terror-free zone” under temporary Palestinian technocratic governance with international stabilization forces. ➡️ HAMAS ROLE: No role in Gaza governance; members who disarm may receive amnesty or safe passage abroad. ➡️ AID & REBUILDING: Immediate humanitarian aid, unrestricted distribution through the UN/Red Crescent, creation of a Special Economic Zone, and a Trump-led economic development plan to rebuild Gaza. FULL RELEASE BY WHITE HOUSE: 1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors. 2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. 3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. 4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. 5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. 6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. 7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. 8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement. 9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. 10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. 11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries. 12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza. 13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors. 14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people. 15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties. 16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat. 17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF. 18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace. 19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people. 20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Ha Ha "Islamophobia" The term 'Islamophobia' is a powerful tool employed by Muslims to put their critics on the defensive. It effectively serves as a shield to protect Islam from scrutiny and silences those who question its tenets. Its origins trace back to the late 1970s when Iranian fundamentalists invented it with the deliberate intention of making Islam immune to criticism. This term, reminiscent of totalitarian propaganda, intentionally lacks specificity, leaving it unclear whether it pertains to the religion itself, the belief system, or its adherents worldwide. 'Islamophobia' denies the reality of an Islamic offensive and suppresses the voices of Muslims who challenge the Koran, demand gender equality, or seek the freedom to practice their faith without oppression. Time and again, 'Islamophobia' has proven successful in its mission. It empowers Islamic apologists to silence any critique of Islam. Those who advocate for the monitoring of mosques to safeguard public order are unjustly denounced. As a result, issues such as child marriages, forced marriages, female seclusion, honor killings, gang rapes of non-Muslim women, or the enslavement and sale of females for sex slavery remain hidden due to fear of being labeled as racists Xenophobes, Islamophobes. These fears are not irrational but grounded in reality. Muslims strategically exploit diversity politics and ecumenical dreams to advance their agenda. By invoking 'Islamophobia,' they aim to discredit and vilify their critics, all the while enjoying the support of multiculturalists and the cultural left. Consequently, 'Islamophobia' not only stifles legitimate discourse but also obstructs the acknowledgment of pressing societal issues, perpetuating harmful practices and ideologies. It is a potent weapon wielded to further the Islamic cause and silence dissenting voices. Islamophobia is an ideological construct, a term strategically wielded to stifle critical thought and pave the way for a totalitarian future. As Andrew C. McCarthy astutely points out, it's a neologism crafted by the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization well-versed in the art of deception. It is high time we cease catering to those who manipulate this term. In the face of the evils perpetuated by extremist ideologies, we should all be unapologetically critical—be it Islamophobia, Naziphobia, or Communistphobia. Genuine concerns about the consequences of these ideologies should not be silenced. I am an Islamophobe, and you should be one, too. Islamophobes include: Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and Jews who don’t want to be forced into a political system that treats them as third-class citizens. Atheists who want the freedom to live openly and challenge religious orthodoxy in the public sphere. Women who don’t want to be draped in black bags. Heterosexual males who prefer not to see women draped in black bags. Wives who don't want to be beaten. Drinkers Artists and art lovers. Homosexuals who don’t want to be beaten to death or thrown from a building. Anyone else who believes that consenting adults should not be killed or tortured over sexual practices. Dog lovers. Animal Rights activists and anyone else who is opposed to the cruel and unethical treatment of animals. Mothers who don’t want their daughters killed over a man’s “honor.” Anyone who believes that Wives have the right to divorce their husbands Intellectuals who value freedom of conscience and public dissent. Anyone believing that the value of a person's life is not determined by their religious beliefs. Feminists who believe that women should not be made subordinate to men by a religion that openly insists that females are intellectually and legally inferior to males. Anyone who disagrees that Muslim men should not be allowed to marry as many as four women at a time and have sexual relations with an unspecified number of slaves as well. Anyone else who objects to a religion in which a woman’s identity is defined by her relationship to a man. Whoever knows that the clitoris is there for a reason. Secularists who believe in the separation of government and religion. The left-handed Liberals who don’t believe that culture and moral values should be established by a state-sponsored "religion." Muslims who would like the freedom to leave Islam. And many more...(help me add to the list) Read more:

EU gave €225 million to projects in #Gaza between 2021-2023, a place that was under the full control of #Hamas since 2006. How much of the EU money given to projects in Gaza ended up in the hands and pockets of this terrorist organisation? I asked Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi this and other questions in the Budgetary Control committee on October 26, 2023. Watch and share this video along with the transcript. MEP Cristian Terheș: "Thank you so much. Before I go into my questions I just want to make a note that this committee has on paper 55, 54 MEPs, and we are in this room, right now, only five [MEPs] and two over there. I think it is outrageous that, for an important topic like this, that is discussing about how the Commission is spending or wasting people's money, apparently the Left is not interested in see[ing] what exactly and how exactly people's money was spent. Going back to the questions, I have six specific questions. The first one is related to the books printed under the supervision or under the authority of the Palestinian Authority. And I saw, I carefully read the answer from the European Commission, which pretty much acknowledged that there was a problem, and I restate that, that there was, in the past, a problem with these books. And the answer says that "EU has stepped up its engagement with the Palestinian Authority to ensure that further curriculum reform addresses problematic issues identified in the shortest possible timeframe". So the "further curriculum" will address this issue. Well, here's an example of a book. This is a literature book for the fifth grade that is used in the UNRWA schools. In this book, this is what the Arab kids are learning. If you're not aware of who this person is, her name is Dalal Mughrabi. On March the 11th, 1978, along with other terrorists, [she] hijacked two busses. And when the Israeli authorities tried to free those people, they blew themselves up and killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children, and over 70 people were wounded. So how is it possible that now, in 2023, and I'm not talking about past books… This is 2023. These kids are still learning that this is a role model for them. And now, out of the blue, we are surprised that people are blowing themselves up and killing innocent people. I'm not interested what are you going to do in the future. I hope that you will do something and we will make sure that you will do something. But what have you done so far to make sure that these Arab kids, these Palestinian kids are not indoctrinated with this kind of evil figures? The second question is about the "Pay for Slay". #PayForSlay According to the Palestinian law if a Palestinian person is killing a Jew, his or her family is getting a pension. So we are rewarding terrorist activities. And this was done for years. A few years ago, when Trump was president, a U.S. military guy was killed in one of these terror attacks. And U.S. Congress passed a law called "Taylor Force Act", which is conditioning any U.S. money for the Palestinian Authority to make sure that these families of the terrorists are not getting reimbursed for life after these terror activities. Why aren’t we imposing exactly the same rules? Because, according to the answer from the Commission, we are paying pension and pensions to these people. Third question, the issue of Gaza. According to your official answer, you're stating, and I quote: "Between 2021 and [20]23, EU funded €681 million for the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA. A third of this money went to Gaza." A third means €225 million from 2021 to 2023. But we know for a fact that in 2005, when Israel withdrew from Gaza, after 2006 or [200]7, Gaza is under the control of Hamas. You said here that you will run a survey or whatever, an analysis to see how the money was spent. What have you done already? Hamas was called, and recognized and acknowledged as a terrorist organisation. How was it possible to pour €225 million in a place that is fully controlled by a terrorist organisation and nobody did anything or said anything? It is absolutely absurd! Forth question. Following reports about stealing of pipelines for rocket production and fuel for hospitals, to what extent can the European Commission or the Court of Auditors verify or assess the damage caused to EU and European funded projects in Gaza? Fifth question. Following news that Hamas is directing money for social allowances to members of this terrorist organisation, how do you verify that such money gets to those really in need? Nevertheless, following reports about control of Hamas of the teacher unions and UNRWA workers union, what are the steps you are taking to verify that EU money for UNRWA is not used to serve Hamas agenda? Thank you." Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi: "Madam Chair. I want to assure all the participating members of this committee that I very much appreciate their presence and their engagement with us. And I think that this is very important that we have this discussion, no matter how many members of the committee are here. Now, first of all, on the Gaza project. Let me make it very clear what has been done in Gaza since 2006 when the IDF and Israel has left the Gaza Strip. I fully agree with you. The control and the governance of that strip has been de facto exercised by the Hamas. Unfortunately! And it was for that reason that all institution financing activity has been stopped and it is for that reason that only projects of public interest have been continued in the Gaza Strip. Now, with the emergence of the horror that we have seen instigated by Hamas, the review also has a very clear message to those projects that we have tried for many, many years to create for the benefit of the people in Gaza, like the Gas for Gaza project or the desalination plant creating fresh water for the people in the Gaza Strip or building a new hospital in the Gaza Strip, that are on hold. And it is not possible even physically to continue on those projects. And we will have to wait until the end of this war to see what engagement would still be considered in the in the Gaza area, if feasible. Now, in relation to the broader question of the review, what is the timeline? The timeline is that we are already doing it. We have a methodology established and our review is carried out by the whole House, mainly the DG Near, but also other parts of the Commission, DG Budget and also the other external family members of the Commission. The result of the review is going to be presented to the College [of Commissioners]. So the College is going to take the conclusions of these findings and they will be, I very much hope, endorsed by the College. In terms of its cost, we do not foresee any additional cost for this, and we want to act rapidly because, as I said, given the very fragile security situation, we have to act immediately to filter out all those who have, even indirectly, participated or contributed to the violence that we have seen emerge. Now, when it comes to the textbooks, to be honest with you, it's very difficult to answer your question because this is the question I have been putting since the very beginning of my mandate. How is it possible to embed hatred and nurture hatred in textbooks? How is it possible to teach kids to hate? How is it possible? And we have been sitting down several times with the Palestinian Authority. We have run a study that came to the same conclusion as you have. And we have had difficult discussions also in this House. But now I see that there is a change in the position of this House, which is, I think, very important. And it is not only very important, but we took very, very careful note of a request from the Parliament, because there is also a request adopted by the plenary, to look into this issue. And this is what we are going to do and this issue will have to be addressed. The result that we have achieved was that we have raised the issue with the Palestinian Authority, and I don't think there's disagreement between us and them that this is an issue. Second, we are working very closely with our partners in UNRWA. I'm very sad to see that this is a training material or education material that you have shown today, which is used by UNRWA, because UNRWA was the one who not only was able to talk about this problem, but undertook commitments with us to eradicate any material, any views expressed, including on social media or in the territories of the schools of this kind, glorification of terrorists, glorification of hatred, anti-Semitism. And this is why we have concluded a three year financing contract with UNRWA. This was a very important element for us that UNRWA started to cooperate and we have seen results coming in. But, of course, I agree with you. We cannot rest until the very last of these materials disappear. And I'm fully committed to deliver on that, including in the discussions for next year. On the "Pay for Slay". We have a list to check that direct beneficiaries do not appear on any of the terrorist list. But, if there is one, I wouldn't like to draw any conclusions of the review, but, if there is one issue to look at is, of course, that we do not create the possibility of indirect benefit for those who are involved in terrorist activities or for those who have been even convicted for such acts. And this is what we are addressing also in our review. Now, on the on the damage to our projects in Gaza, I cannot tell you now. What we see is that there is clearly devastation in the northern part, serious level of damage in the south, but it will be only after that the war will stop that we can go back and take a look at that. Now, on the humanitarian aspect and how to guarantee that our humanitarian aid is not going to be misused. If you look back at the statement the European Council has adopted just last weekend, you see also a very clear call for them to make sure. And this is why our decision has been to channel our humanitarian aid through our own institutions; DG Echo is delivering on the ground and in-kind. So we are providing help, in-kind, not providing financing. We're not providing other items that could be used for other purposes. And we are coordinating our work with international organisations only, so to ensure that it doesn't get to the wrong hands. So there was one more question about the breakdown of the €103 million, and I think I can confirm what you said that we have composed the €103 million by €50 million that were allocated in support of payments of salaries and pensions. These are going directly as direct budget support into the budget of the Palestinian Authority. However, we want to check the final beneficiaries and we have a list. And now we're looking at indirect beneficiaries as well as part of the review. The 40 million… The other element is the €40 million support for the most vulnerable families. Again, this is this is paid in the form of direct budgetary contribution. And the third and lastly, the €13 million, this is the remaining part of 103 [million], is financing the East Jerusalem hospitals that we have paid already in April 2023 to keep the health care system running in East Jerusalem. I hope with this I have answered all the questions that have been raised. Thank you."

Elon Musk wants us building successful businesses here on 𝕏, NOT relying on X payouts. Elon is a trillionaire entrepreneur that got there by NETWORKING ideas and visions with others. He now owns a social media platform and wants us doing the exact same thing here. Elon wants you to build a following, find a business that offers a valuable service to the community and country, succeed beyond your WILDEST dreams with it and then NETWORK TO REPLICATE IT AND HELP OTHERS HERE DO THE SAME! That's the winning model that will not only benefit all of us, but be financially beneficial to Elon as well, and I'd like to explain why. Meta generates their primary ad revenue from big corporations owned by corrupt elites advertising their products to our asleep family members. Big Corporations HATE Elon so that is absolutely OUT of the question here on this platform, so they need an alternative model to pull in revenue to see an ROI ont he purchase of Twitter, and it's up to all of us to help generate that. Instagram is the complete OPPOSITE of Meta and Youtube. Instagram generates roughly 87 Billion dollars each year in ad revenue with a substantial amount of that coming from regular users of the platform who are also entrepreneurs working successful business between their niche content, and they are paying INTO ads to advertise that business between said niche content. There are 19 year olds on Instagram making 6 figures a MONTH drop shipping and they make courses teaching you step by step instructions how you can do it too. They pay anywhere between $15 - $20K a month INTO the ad program to advertise their businesses, between their regular content. There are MILLIONS of instances of this on Instagram and that is what's feeding a massive portion of the ad revenue program. The #1 reason people create an instagram account and actively try to grow it, is entrepreneurship. THAT'S what Elon wants us doing HERE! Now, the conservative space on Instagram is MASSIVE and 👉 LITERALLY 👈 all they do is lazily scroll 𝕏 all day to see the content YOU ALL are sending viral here, and they STEAL IT, easily moving it to their Instagram accounts to build their own following to then work a successful business. You need to understand that part very clearly. They're lazily stealing YOUR content from here, building successful businesses off it and posting videos of them traveling the world living lives of luxury. I've been tracking them doing this for SIX YEARS since 2020. If you can explain to me why they are more privileged and deserving than YOU to be living successfully off of YOUR work, I'd love to hear your reasoning on this. Now, i had a Zoom meeting with a conservative mom on Instagram that works the same business from home that I do, and she's helped over 60 people on Instagram grow their following from 0-200K to then work that business with her and she opened up her back office to me to show me everything and teach me how she does what she does and precisely how the Instagram algorithm works to grow. I'm not going into specifics, but it's absolutely clear based on my assessment that the development team behind Instagram makes it hard to grow there on purpose because they psychologically understands how to keep toxicity from taking over the platform by ensuring the extremely impatient "I want it NOW" people aren't able to grow large platforms to take over the entire platform. They understand these people are significantly more likely to spread toxicity across the platform, original content to drop, entrepreneurship to disappear and incoming ad revenue to dip much lower as a result. They understand those with military style determination and grit will stick it out to succeed, have much higher chance of being more intelligent to end up bringing original content to the platform, and have a much higher confidence rate in themselves to seek entrepreneurship, build community based income opportunities where anyone can come in and succeed to create very healthy communities, and then pay into the ad program to advertise it to succeed even more, turning the platform into a truly symbiotic relationship between the entrepreneurial users and the platform itself that allows them to grow and succeed in the first place. We're doing things all wrong here. 𝕏 isn't broken — our community is. These massive 1+ million follower accounts here that grew by putting MSM articles into Grok AI to have him rewrite them to avoid plagiarism charges and milk the 𝕏 revenue system and they will NEVER be able to figure this out because they're FAKING their intelligence by doing this and Elon does NOT want us idolizing accounts like that because they're giving us false illusions and impressions as to what success looks like. Elon wants us aiming much higher than 𝕏 revenue because 𝕏 revenue is NOT generational wealth to pass onto our children and we're supposed to be working together as a community to build things that are. Elon wants to be able to advertise this platform as having the MOST self-made millionaires than ANY other platform on the planet. As things currently sit, 𝕏 is single handedly leading any other platform for world news distribution, but we're trailing significantly in wealth generation. I believe the changes in monetization are to force people out of their comfort zones to seek alternative means of income generation to help correct that. We're not supposed to be competing with each other to gain 𝕏 revenue, we're supposed to be working together to build communities and revenue to compete with Instagram. The problem is, most of us came to this platform as slaves to a broken and corrupted system because we want change and have no language for these things. So, I'll be the first one to plant my flag. Do I know what I'm doing? Absolutely not. Do my children deserve having a mother that steps far outside her comfort zone to give it everything she's got to build something that gives them a better life? You bet your ass. Before my son was born with his tumor in his throat and the medical field bankrupted me for everything I was worth, I worked a VERY successful business from home that allowed me to homeschool my children. We've been pointing out all this corruption but what we now need are SOLUTIONS and community based systems to the corrupt system we're all stuck in, that anyone can implement and benefit from. I think it's time for us all to build that together and I'd like to start. We do have tools to fight back against the corrupt system but it's going to take all of us coming together to do it. The 2 BIGGEST ways we fund these corrupt elites every single month, is buying food and basic household goods from their corporations. All of our stores and corporations have become owned by a small group of Wall Street shareholder elites that lobby our politicians in Congress to look the other way while their corporations poison us and our children with their toxic products. We don't have to keep funding that system anymore as a parallel economy does in fact exist where profits are CUT OFF from reaching them and are instead redirected back to the American people. Wall Street elites like BlackRock-Vanguard and central bankers like JP Morgan & Chase does own 93% of the consumer goods sold in America. If the "conspiracies" are true, then BlackRock and Vanguard are owned by private Central Bankers that serve ENGLAND and they partnered with China to steal our manufacturing. Powerful banking elites purchase majority shares of the corporations for these Central Bankers, then moves the manufacturer to China. ALL of our consumer wealth is being siphoned out of America and going to England and China via this model and they lobbied BOTH parties in Congress through donations from their corporations to keep them silent about it. When we buy stuff in their stores, the profits are going to Wall Street and some of those profits go to product advertising on TV and that's what pays networks heads to pay the salaries of Fake News anchors millions of dollars a year to LIE to us. The video I provided in this post was Dylan Ratigan addressing the illusion of the left vs right paradigm IN 2011! He talks about all of our wealth being siphoned out of America. We were so close to figuring this out in 2011, then all of the DIVISIONS started to significantly ramp up against us to keep us fighting each other to keep this hidden so the theft of our consumer wealth out of the country could continue, to further hollow out America. Every time we buy Tide laundry detergent, we're funding the Military Industrial Complex and their forever wars because the same shareholders that owns tide — BlackRock-Vanguard — owns the weapons defense contracting companies that makes missiles and profits from death in forever wars. It's not just Tide, it's ALL basic household goods that we buy every single month as we send those profits through Wall Street when we support these corporations. Laundry detergent, dish soap, deodorant, shampoo conditioner, toothpaste, and EVERY other product that props up Johnson&Johnson and all these other cabal corporations. We can't fix America if we continue to support these cabal corporations that poison us for profit because they also own the pharmaceutical companies too and they've lobbied both sides of Congress to look the other eat while they do it. There's ONE family owned consumer goods manufacturer left here in America that can ship to MILLIONS of doorsteps and they make 470+ basic household goods that we still need for our families every single month from safe laundry detergent that won't give your children hives and rashes, to shampoo, deodorant, fluoride free toothpaste, dish soap, safe cleaning products that won't give you cancers or harm the lungs of your children and pets, to 470+ other basic needs as well as clean grass fed beef and steaks, and they've been right here in America for the last 41 years. They're a privately owned company and NOT publicly traded in Wall Street so profits are NOT going to Wall Street elites who then give them to Congress, the profits go back to us instead, which is the way things should be. Companies like this made no sense 20 years ago when we were all asleep and loved Walmart, but we're all waking up to what these corrupt elites have been doing and we need an alternative system that benefits families in America instead of powerful wall street pedophiles that own and control all aspects of our lives. It's not good enough to just shop American made anymore, we need to keep our consumer dollars OUT of the hands of Wall Street elites. They have NOT been responsible with our tax dollars, and they have NOT been responsible with the profits we send them by supporting their massive corporations, so it's time to cut them off and shift those profits back to the American people who need them instead. Walk around your home and look at all the household products you're buying every month that funds this corrupt system. We can squash their monopoly and reverse engineer ACTUAL capitalism and Robin Hood profits from the Wall Street elites by shifting MILLIONS of dollars away from them and back to people who need it, for everyday stuff we're already buying every single month from them for our families. Elon Musk wants us building community based wealth generating systems ON THIS PLATFORM to tear down the elites and rebuild the middle-class instead. We don't need more BREAKING posts. We don't need more corruption exposed, as we've seen enough to understand the entire system THAT WE FUND every month, is rotten from the top down. What we need is a community based system built for us that allows all of us to legally rob that corrupt system, and I think it's time we build it. Winter is coming. There's no better time to LEARN and build an online business and start building something that can be passed down to our children in the future, that's also beneficial to America, and I'd like to help build it. If you're interested in building it with me, you can message me here directly or you can email me! 🥰 [email protected]

Dumbing Down II "By Faith, this is the last rent I am paying as a single lady. If you support me to pay this rent, by the grace of God, this time next year, I will be in my husband's house." is back begging for support to pay another rent. Not because God didn't bring eligible suitors her way, but because her PASTOR has replaced the Holy Spirit in her life. Pastors ruin a lot of destinies when they insist on playing God instead of their primary role as destiny guides. Many members have submitted their free will to their pastors, giving their pastors the power that God himself didn't take from us from the dawn of creation. When you take the ability of the individual to act as a free agent in the name of religion, you reduce him or her to a puppet and yourself to a puppeteer. You want to pull the strings of the lives of thousands of born-again Christians at the same time while rendering them useless to follow their paths in Christ and grow into mature sons. I was at a Church in Anthony village about three years ago to minister, and I met this young man who was schooled at a very prestigious university in the USA. He was the in-house IT consultant of the church, and the pastor placed him on a monthly stipend while he was working for God. It was the Pastor who introduced the young man to me while boasting that God had given him the most capable hands to help him in ministry. I asked him if he had any Python, Java, cloud engineering, data management, digital marketing, coding, or similar tasks available for the young man in the church. He said no. I said, "You are giving this young man the job that any young school leaver who is proficient in computer appreciation can do, and you don't see it as limiting his capabilities and rendering his skills obsolete?" You would rather boast that you are ruining a destiny to build up your own profile rather than set this young man on the path of excellence? Did God call him into ministry as a preacher? Is he understudying you in preparation for his own ministry? The pastor said, "No, I plan that as the church expands, he will head our digital infrastructure and position us for the future." I said, "He can do that as a consultant or even as a member, he shouldn't be doing that while you are paying him 100,000 Naira a month. He should be out there, flying with his peers and earning in dollars! The only exception is if the Lord has called him to be a preacher and he is understudying you as your personal assistant, as led by the Lord as part of his season of preparation. Anything other than that is injurious to his destiny!" The pastor had never seen it that way When I was done ministering in the church, the young man hugged me and thanked me profusely. He said his mother sent him to the pastor when he returned from the USA and the pastor immediately told him that God had need of him in the ministry or he would die without fulfilling his purpose. Why do pastors do this? I have another case from the Northern part of Nigeria. A young lady reached out to me seeking clarity regarding her future She said her Apostle told her she has been raised by God to sing in his church choir, but she is a medical doctor by training and desires to further her studies abroad Every time she raised the issue with the Apostle, he shut her down and told her she was struggling with the will of God "Why can't you just submit to God and serve in the choir and watch as God will take your voice all over the world as this ministry grows?" The young lady said she knows she has a good voice and sings very well as one who is full of the Holy Spirit, but she does not want to be "Sinach", she wants to fulfil her dream of practising as a Pediatrician. She was wary of incurring the wrath and curse of the Apostle, however, and did not know how to extricate herself from the situation. The apostle did not see anything wrong with his actions because he was a user of people who believed that in order to fulfill his own desire to become a big ministry, others could not thrive and grow in their visions and ministries as ordained by God. This is witchcraft. It is not of God. Jesus didn't lead his disciples this way. Insecurity is the undoing of many African so-called Pastors and Spiritual leaders, and they hide behind the illusion of divinity to put others in bondage. I experienced this firsthand as a young graduate, so I understand how a pastor trying to build his ministry could see the potential in a young man or woman and try very hard to turn such a person into servants and house helps in the name of discipling them or training them for kingdom relevance You graduate from the University and join the labour force, you apply for many jobs, and at a point, you tell yourself it is important to seek supernatural guidance in your quest to fulfil destiny Somebody somewhere tells you about a church or a ministry, you join, and you are convinced the church is good. You also tell your friends, and they join. But you are all fresh graduates who are heading into the future one way or the other, but this pastor wants you to be his flock. To him, his church of ten members had suddenly become a church of 30 members because of you guys, and he wants to keep the numbers growing, so he begins to give you prophesies that were not of God but with the aim of keeping you in the fold for as long as possible. He told young graduates who ought to go for NYSC that God is telling him they should give it up for service to God in the vineyard. The mother of two of the ladies in the fellowship, whose daughters told that the pastor told them not to go for NYSC, quickly removed them from the fellowship before the seed of corruption being planted by this pastor would bear fruit The others also left as soon as they could gather their wit People who you ought to guide on their path in sincerity ran as far as they could from you based on how you chose to manipulate rather than nurture them. A married woman whose husband worked abroad was a trained secretary, and while her husband was abroad, catering to the needs of the family, he begged her to stop working so that she could focus on raising the children. She was raising five children all by herself, and combining this with a job seemed a bit too much at the time. One of the vital institutions for raising godly children was the church This woman attended church regularly with her children and even volunteered to spend any free time she had typing the pastor's sermons, Sunday School pamphlets, handouts, books, journals, and other church reports and documents She was not officially employed to do the work; she just saw that she could take some of the secretarial duties on during her downtime, and she did so with all sincerity. The church enjoyed her free services for five years until the pastor forgot completely that she was doing the church a favour One day, the woman came to church to tell the pastor that her husband would be returning home to visit the family, and she would not be available for a few days because she had to pick her husband up from the airport and ensure that he settled in properly. Unfortunately, that weekend was the weekend of the church's anniversary, and the pastor had a lot of secretarial work to do. He told the woman God said she should pick one. Heaven or marriage. He said if she goes to pick her husband from the airport, she has chosen the world and forsaken the Lord. The woman wept all the way home, It was not the thank you, thou faithful servant report she had worked day and night for many years to get that she received. She went to pick her husband from the airport and distanced herself from any church founded by any individual after that experience. She said the ambition of church founders requires that they use people to build, even though they lacked the resources to pay or compensate such people, so they resort to blackmail, coercion, lies, fake prophesies, promises, and manipulations to get things done while keeping their followers on a leash. Followers are also enablers as they refuse to read the Bible for themselves and walk in the light of the word of God. No one should be able to take you captive in the name of God, Jesus, all the angels, or any form of miracle if you know the word of God. The word of God is profitable to make one wise, and therefore, anyone who knows the word of God cannot fall victim to any false doctrine, teaching, spiritual manipulations, or lies. All the false teachings of someone being a covering for someone else came from these manipulative narratives, and believers should be wise to them. I have seen a pastor declare that his church is the only church in Africa that is licensed by God to take people to heaven, and some members believed him. The day he said that, all his members ought to laugh, pick up their Bibles, and leave without looking back. Self-aggrandisement has become the order of the day in some churches, the pastor sells himself as the be-all and end-all of the member's spiritual enlightenment, and the members sheepishly surrender their eyes of their understanding to him or her. He or she must determine where they work, whom they marry, who they associate with, whose music they must listen to, and whose sermons they must hear. If they want to travel, he must see if the road is clear on their behalf, if they want to build a house, he must approve, if he does not dedicate their baby, the baby is illegitimate. This is not the faith Christ or the Apostles died for. Jesus died that you might be free of religion. Christianity is not a religion, it is the opposite. It is individualistic and determined by the faith and belief system of the one rather than the many. Salvation, therefore, is a personal affair, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also a personal affair Religion is the opium of the masses, and Christianity is the salvation of the individual and his or her walk with God. When we fellowship together, we do so not so we can get brainwashed by one "super Christian" but so that we can minister to the Lord and minister to one another in the presence of God. Every believer must hold this truth to be self-evident. PS: Someone sent me the video of a pastor condemning a song recently released by a fellow believer, which is making a global impact The Pastor represents an old school of Christians who are unfit to be custodians of the gospel due to their rigidity and limited understanding of the finished work of Christ. Disciples of the gospel of Works and Performance lack creativity and discernment but are good stewards of rigidity and religious doctrines. In other words, a Pharisee must act like one, and Jesus must act like Jesus. We are all just being true to our nature. "I can never go back o No...No It's already too late o No...No Where Am I going to... No...No" If you read to this point, when I was in Spain, I asked a very important question about a meal. If you know the answer, I'm inside the comment section. -GSW-

When the young generation embrace a pseudoscience like Ayurveda. There is a huge problem in India. You may not realize it, but it is an open secret. Normalizing and glorifying “healthy alcohol consumption” seems to be the biggest social media tool that young content makers are cashing in from an ill-informed public. As a clinical Hepatologist who writes off close to five death summaries of young men aged 25 to 40 years almost every week – young productive men who have died due to alcohol use disorder and liver failure, leaving behind aging parents, creating widows or fatherless children, I sometimes feel like calling it quits. Maybe it is time to leave everyone to fend for themselves, because there is a limit to which me and other physicians can help and hope to bring a change in the people against a tsunami of disinformation that is directly harming the public health. It is like the Hydra. Cut off one disinformation, two others on the same topic comes in. And then we have young men like Shashank Sharma, this Instagram content creator and possibly an Ayurveda practitioner, who has made this video called “How to consume alcohol safely" according to the ancient traditional Indian (nonsense called) Ayurveda. This one video is enough for you to realize that Ayurveda is a pseudoscience that harms. It is a destructive professional choice for women and men studying it, because it reduces intellectual capacity, kills logical thinking, and murders rationality that students acquire in high school. The Government actively promotes it, runs large public-funded colleges to teach it to students who do not get good ranks in medical entrance examinations, but are dying to have the “Dr.” title in front of their names. Even after passing the course, the majority call themselves “doctors” instead of the traditionally given title of “Vaidya.” It is a profession solely built on the foundations of insecurity and inferiority, which is why you see Ayurveda practitioners always attacking medical science and modern medicine in India. They are trained to become blinded to truth, rabid against facts and hurtful towards those who educate the public on the harms of alternative systems of medicine. The principles that guide Ayurveda and which practitioners use to diagnose and treat misled patients – namely the theory of Vata, Pita and Kapha are part of the obsolete primal pseudoscientific ‘Humoral Theory’ that was philosophical and unscientific. It was buried once scientific discoveries progressed, germ theory evolved and the study of anatomy and physiology came into being. Essentially, this theory stated that the human body was filled with three basic substances, called three humors, which are in balance when a person is healthy. All diseases and disabilities resulted from an excess or deficit of one of these four humors – namely Vata, Pita, Kapha. Can you see how stupid that sounds now? Now the video tells us that based on the “humoral disposition” there are ways to safely consume alcohol – for example, after a hot bath and after taking sweets, alcohol damage is reduced in Pita-type people. This sounds even worse than the worst nonsense you would have ever heard. There is no safe level of alcohol and no healthy or safe way of drinking it. The human body wants to remove alcohol, a known social poison, quickly and effectively, when consumed. The body has no use for alcohol. It has no nutritive value and is all empty calories which the body does not want any of it. But here is a young Ayurveda guy, telling us how to do that safely. A slow and presumed safe exercise in “killing one softly.” Whether you consume alcohol based on Vata, Pita or Kapha or not, the harms of it include liver disease, seven types of cancer, alcohol dependence syndromes, psychiatric illnesses and suicides, heart diseases, injuries, and violence and 61 other diseases that reduce life expectancy. Terrifyingly, the incidence of severe alcohol-related liver disease is increasing rapidly, especially among females and individuals of lower socioeconomic status. We fail to implement proven and effective measures to reduce alcohol harm, usually due to lobbying and interference by the alcohol industry and because we have fools like this guy on Instagram, who dabble in pseudoscience like Ayurveda, misleading public at large. We must eliminate alcohol promotion: advertising, marketing, sponsorship and now “content creation,” to protect our fellow humans from falling into this trap. So, if you could, please do me a favor. Go to this link on his Instagram page and report this nonsense video made by this Ayurveda apologist and sympathizer, so that Instagram can remove it and take it back to the stupidest Hell-hole it emanated from. And remember, do not send your children to study Ayush courses in India. You are doing a disservice to them and to this country. The best they get from that is a dummy “Dr.” title in front of their names and the worst, they get to kill public-health.

#BREAKING: US President Donald Trump’s announces Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict: 1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors. 2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. 3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. 4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. 5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. 6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. 7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. 8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement. 9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. 10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. 11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

📚 The Final Book of Accusations: From the Dawn of Empire to The Occupation of Holy Land 👇 By Noah From the first breath of civilization to this very hour, there has been a throughline of corruption, deception, enslavement, and desecration. It is not abstract. It is not faceless. It is men and dynasties, kings and financiers, generals and priests, who built their thrones on the screams of the violated, the broken bodies of the enslaved, and the stolen inheritance of the innocent. Thrones have been raised upon fields littered with the corpses of the murdered and the starved, upon cities reduced to ash by conquest, upon villages where women were dragged into captivity and children were torn from their mothers’ arms to be sold, abused, or slaughtered without mercy. The record begins in the valleys of Mesopotamia, where the first empires forged chains of debt and codified laws that stripped families of their land and freedom, where armies burned rival cities to the ground and carved their dominion into flesh and stone. It moves forward into Egypt, where monuments rose on the backs of the oppressed, where Pharaohs enslaved nations to build their eternal tombs, and where conquest meant the rape of women and the shattering of entire peoples. It carries into Rome, where the crucifixion of rebels lined the roads for miles, where one million Gauls were butchered in Caesar’s campaigns and another million dragged into bondage, where the siege of Jerusalem ended in rivers of blood, children dashed against stone walls, and the holy temple reduced to rubble. This current flows through medieval Europe, where crusaders stormed Jerusalem not with prayers but with swords, cutting down tens of thousands in streets that ran with blood knee-deep, where inquisitors stretched human beings on racks in the name of God, and where financiers drained kingdoms through usury until kings turned against them, expelling them in fury after their subjects had been bled dry. It thickens in the age of empire, where ships ferried millions of Africans across the Atlantic in chains, stacked like cargo, where lash and starvation claimed countless lives before their feet touched foreign soil, and where colonizers extinguished entire civilizations in the Americas, pillaging gold, spreading plague, and baptizing mass slaughter as holy conquest. And it threads forward still, into the rise of modern banking dynasties who learned to fund both sides of wars, who turned the blood of soldiers into profit columns on ledgers, who underwrote railroads and armories, who acquired land in Palestine and prepared it for dispossession. It bursts into the twentieth century, where entire villages were erased in the Nakba, where women were cast into exile, where children grew up behind checkpoints and barbed wire, and where the land of Bethlehem and Nazareth, the very soil on which Christ Himself had walked, was captured, militarized, and desecrated under the guise of prophecy. This is not opinion. This is not conjecture. This is history itself, written in contracts signed with blood, in treaties brokered with deceit, in ledgers fattened by slavery and usury, and in the cries of innocents carried across the centuries. It is written in shattered bodies, in raped women, in children buried in unmarked graves, in the smoke of villages burned, in the rubble of temples razed, in the ruins of cities bombarded, and in the silence of the world that has too often turned away. 🧵Video Thread Series 📽️👇 Countless hours of my life have been devoted to the careful crafting of Part I. Every sentence was shaped with deliberation, every thought refined with the utmost precision, not for my sake, but so that it might serve as a lantern in the fog for those who seek truth. If you found even a measure of illumination within these words, I ask only one thing in return... allow it to travel further. Share it with those whose hearts are still restless, whose minds remain clouded, whose souls yearn for remembrance. For knowledge, once awakened, is not meant to be hoarded in silence. It grows in strength when carried from one soul to another, as flame kindles flame, until what began in a solitary hand becomes a great light upon the earth. By sharing, you do not merely extend my labor; you become a participant in its purpose, a co-bearer of its message, and a steward of the awakening it was written to inspire. I stand permanently barred from every channel of monetization, and I accept this reality without hesitation or regret. As with all of my writings and every piece of content I have ever produced, what I create will be given freely to all who seek it. I devote uncounted hours, often at great personal cost, not for profit nor recognition, but out of an unwavering passion for the dignity of humanity. My labor is not transactional but sacrificial, poured out with the singular hope that through these words, at least one soul might awaken, one mind might break free from illusion, and one heart might remember its divine inheritance. To teach under such circumstances is not merely to instruct but to bear witness. It is to believe that truth, when offered without price, carries a resonance that no barrier can silence and no ban can extinguish. This is why I persist, why I endure exclusion, why I choose generosity over gain. For what value has wealth if it is hoarded, and what meaning has knowledge if it is withheld? To awaken even a solitary spirit is to alter the course of eternity itself, and it is for this reason that my work will never be bound by the machinery of monetization.

The Trumpanyahu “Peace” Plan, And Other Notes The Trumpanyahu administration is pushing a “peace plan” for Gaza which critics are saying would damn Palestinians to permanent subjugation under the thumb of Israel. The proposed plan would see Gaza supervised by Trump and by war criminal Tony Blair, and Netanyahu is already saying that the deal will allow the IDF to remain in the Palestinian territory indefinitely. The last time the US brokered a “peace plan” between Israel and Hamas, the US and Israel torched it in a few weeks, laid siege to the enclave, and announced a plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. So even without all the major problems with the offer, there’s not going to be a whole lot of enthusiasm about it. I’m seeing a lot of purportedly pro-Palestine voices proclaiming that Hamas needs to accept the deal in order to end the genocide. I personally will never tell Palestinians what they should do to address their abuse at the hands of the empire or what deals they should accept. My job as a westerner is to oppose the western empire that is butchering them, not to finger-wag and moralize at the empire’s victims. The onus is on the party committing genocide to stop committing genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to sign agreements in the hope of saving themselves from the genocide. This is obvious to anyone who isn’t a psychopath. ❖ The Israeli Foreign Ministry keeps trying to claim that the Global Sumud Flotilla bringing aid to Gaza is actually a Hamas operation. Their latest effort in this ridiculous campaign was a statement trying to connect the dots between Hamas and people associated with the flotilla which bizarrely featured a photo of British politician George Galloway whom the ministry falsely identified as a British Palestinian man named Zaher Birawi. Not one single person in the entire world believes this narrative. Literally nobody believes the Gaza flotilla has any connection to Hamas. It’s just a framing they’re circulating to preemptively justify any cruelty they might inflict upon the flotilla activists. Meanwhile the death count of people who have starved to death in Gaza has risen to around 453. Israel is trying to convince the world that the Global Sumud Flotilla are terrorists for trying to help stop this. In addition to everything else this genocide has been, it has also been one nonstop insult to our intelligence. ❖ Two separate news reports have just come out about Israeli propaganda operations to manipulate western opinion. In an article titled “Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post,” Responsible Statecraft’s Nick Cleveland-Stout reports on documents showing that 14 to 18 individuals have been receiving significant compensation to generate pro-Israel content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram. In a write-up titled “Trump’s Ex-Digital Guru Works to Combat Antisemitism,” O’Dwyer’s PR News reports that “The firm of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Brad Parscale has a four-month $6M agreement for strategic communications and media services in support of Havas Media’s engagement by Israel to develop a nationwide campaign in the US to combat antisemitism.” Journalist Jack Paulson notes that we know about Parscale’s six million-dollar psyop because he had to register as a foreign agent of the Israeli government, saying Parscale was paid “to map out Gen-Z influencers and distribute a narrative about antisemitism in the United States.” This is what happens when a state doesn’t have facts, reason or morality on its side, but has unlimited funding. ❖ It’s silly how people call it “the Holy Land”. If the land was holy it would have turned Israelis into decent people. ❖ One of the many ugly things about the Trump era has been watching so many hippie woo woo spiritual types turn into crazed transphobic QAnoners, because those were my people. It’s kind of an embarrassing admission at this point, but they were. I didn’t come to where I’m at ideologically from reading Lenin or talking to Marxists, I got here because I did a lot of inner work and had some transformative experiences and came out the other side with a deep love for this beautiful planet and for the strange naked ape mutants who people it, and with a yearning to help create a healthy world. I just kinda felt my way through the human experience as the barefoot hippie earth mama that I am, and it carried me to a clear intuitive understanding that the western empire must end and that capitalism cannot carry our species into the future. And I’d just sorta assumed the people who looked and talked like me were on a similar journey this whole time. It looked like we were for a hot minute a decade ago when we were all getting excited about Bernie Sanders and the possibility of a real socialist movement in the western world, but then after that it got really weird and gross. I started watching so many of the leftwardly-inclined spiritual types I’d connected with in 2015 and 2016 start getting sucked into the Trumpian worldview and getting crazier and crazier with QAnon and all its related psyops until they were indistinguishable from garden variety American conservatives. I remember a Bernie guy I’d made friends with in 2016 shrieking at me in 2020 and accusing me of acting like an Iranian mullah when I criticized Trump’s assassination of Qassem Soleimani. My Facebook feed increasingly morphed from Bernie Sanders stuff to Jill Stein stuff to pro-Trump stuff, and then with Covid a lot of them went full-blown wingnut and started posting crazy right wing shit about trans people and Muslims and immigrants and China. I saw it happen to people I’d known in person my whole life, transforming from the barefoot peaceniks I’d always known into stuffy reactionaries in just a few years. I’d tell them they’d turned into Republicans and they’d generally get all huffy and indignant and claim they were just like me, free-thinking leftist dissidents who opposed the fake two-party system. But there they were, fully buying into the entire worldview of one of those parties — and it was the one that’s further to the right. And I just found the whole thing baffling. I mean, why were these people ever attracted to the left in the first place? Did they not have any values? If they did, what happened to them? How could they not see they were being duped into throwing their support behind the establishment they used to oppose? What happened to their spiritual insight? Their intuition? Their rebelliousness? Where was their connection to nature and to heart which had previously caused them to stand for peace and love? And eventually I learned that it was just an act for most people. For most people spirituality is just an accessory for the ego, and being a hippie is just a feel-good fashion statement. They’re not engaging in the kind of rigorous interior excavation and ruthless self-honesty that would have protected them from imperial psyops to corral their political energy back into the mainstream herd. They just like how weed makes them feel and enjoy Alex Grey art. They wear spirituality, but they’ve never lived it. This feels like kind of a confession because I’m admitting to having been naive about something many of you probably already knew for a long time, but it’s just the truth. I was naive. I stumbled into this commentary gig after years of focusing almost entirely on spirituality and inner work without paying much attention to what other people were doing. I have a journalism degree and I was a news junkie when I was younger, but then I fell down the rabbit hole of inner exploration and lost track of the outer world. It took me a while to get a read on things once I tuned back in. It’s been a trip, man. Reading by Tim Foley:

Writing these words is incredibly difficult for me right now, but I'm afraid that if I don't write them now, I never will. I was only ten years old when I first saw the photo of Jennifer 'Precious' Finch below. I had just lost my mother after her long battle with cancer. Around that time, I was reading a book about Kurt Cobain and the author mentioned a bass player named Jennifer Finch. Nirvana's drummer Dave Grohl was her boyfriend and she was the one who introduced Courtney Love to Kurt, and she was an incredible bassist, artist, photographer and activist, and played in an all female band called L7. She seemed to have left her fingerprints all over the American punk scene. After reading everything written about Jennifer over and over again, I remember my childself self thinking: 'An all-female punk band?' I couldn't stop staring at her photos in amazement... The fire-red hair, the unbelievable energy bursting out of every image, the confidence, the attitude, the style... I threw the book into my bag, rushed to the nearest record store, showed it to the owner, and asked, "Do you have LPs of any of these bands? Hole? Babes in Toyland? Sugar Babydoll? L7? The Gits?" They had L7. I bought the record and ran straight back home. The years that followed were spent following these women... Their stage presence, their courage, their music, their politics. Even if Oliver Stone had opened Natural Born Killers with an explosion, it couldn't have made a bigger impact on me than hearing "Shitlist." I can't remember how many times that my childhood version watched the film just to hear L7. Or how many times I jumped off the couch when Jennifer appeared in a John Waters film. Or how many nights I stayed up in front of MTV, hoping they'd play another one of their videos. My childhood, my teenage years were shaped by that world. My worldview. My confidence. My taste in music. My politics. Even my closest circle of friends. Then life performed one of its impossible miracles. Jennifer Finch transformed from one of my childhood heroes into a musician I eventually had the privilege of working with, then into a close friend, then an older sister and ultimately someone I call family. The first real tour I ever organized with my friends as a teenager was for Jennifer's new band, The Shocker. Years later, in my twenties, we were sitting together in a kebab shop in Denmark talking about our shared love for Kanye and the Yeezy pop-up store in Los Angeles that had just opened. As I approached my thirties, we wandered through museums together in Nuremberg before going to watch British bands play. Another time, while I was visiting the incredible Raymond Pettibon retrospective in Moscow, I called her to show her the original SST fanzines. "Cali mention, Precious!!' From the day I discovered her as a child until today, Jennifer's influence never left my life. I admired her, learned from her, and never stopped learning from her. I honestly don't think anyone else has shaped my life so profoundly or in so many different ways. Jennifer was so down to earth that you could almost forget, for a moment, just how much she had lived through and how a legendary rockstar she really was. But then she'd start talking about music, art, photography, or politics, and you'd immediately realize the depth of her knowledge. I have met very few people in my life whose understanding of music stretched so effortlessly from hip-hop to metal, from punk to jazz. Jennifer wasn't just an icon of the Los Angeles punk scene. She reached people in the smallest underground communities all over the world and left a lasting mark on countless lives. You could write an entire book about the life she lived. Within seconds she could take you from a jaw dropping story to one that left you crying with laughter. One day she told me she was proud of me. I still remember thinking "Life has been incredibly hard but hey, if I can make my childhood hero proud then it's ok, I made it." I'm writing these words with incredible sadness, grief mixed with anger, because I truly believe that if the United States treated healthcare as a universal human right, Jennifer Finch would still be with us today. Instead, her treatment turned into a battle against private insurance companies that made everything harder, longer and more exhausting. So yes, my heart is broken. And yes, forever, Free Luigi. My deepest condolences to her life partner, Jack, and to everyone who loved her and everyone who was loved by her. Until we meet again, may the stars guide you home. Precious. I'll miss you forever. — Erin RIP Jennifer Precious Finch (1966-2026)

It is not about Elon Musk, nor about right or left; it is about why the government under Starmer in Britain has chosen to shield those who glorify terrorism. It's good to hear about the ceasefire tonight and the release of the brave children and women from Israel who have been hostages of evil Muslim Brotherhood forces that remain unbanned in the UK. Never trust Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Never. Anyhow, when the tragedy of October 7th unfolded, my mother called me urgently, her voice filled with both fear and determination. She urged me, "Call our Jewish community in Dubai; tell them we stand with them. Never again is now." Her words carried the weight of history and the moral duty to act. "If they have family held hostage by Hamas terrorists, go to them, support the grieving families," she said. Yet, at that same moment, I was receiving horrifying videos online, clips of celebrations in the UK by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and certain mosques, rejoicing in the slaughter of Jewish children and women. Now, even under Starmer’s leadership, they refuse to ban these extremists, refuse to question their actions, refuse to initiate an inquiry. This is not merely about Israel; it is about humanity itself. It is about the essence of what makes us human. When the Holocaust happened, where would you have stood? Not on which side, but whether you would have stood at all, because there is no side when confronting evil. There is only one truth: the righteous versus the wicked, light versus darkness. As Hitler’s evil once threatened the world, so too do the Islamists of today. They must be banned, uprooted, and cast out. Let justice flow like a mighty river, and let righteousness prevail. Evil knows no side; it knows only destruction. They prey on the innocent, exploit the vulnerable, and fuel the flames of terror. They support groups like Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and others who thrive on destruction. They infiltrate your institutions, influencing who governs your city. In Birmingham City Council, it is said that some members of the Muslim Brotherhood take bribes, granting housing to select individuals while turning a blind eye to pregnant women and families left in hostels. They reserve homes for certain communities, creating divisions and deepening inequality. Ask yourself why the council is drowning in debt and why resources have been mismanaged. Rise and stand for your land, for a nation that turns a blind eye to injustice invites ruin upon itself. Do not let the seeds of corruption and terror take root, for they will grow into thorns that choke the life of your people. Speak for the voiceless, defend the weak, and act with courage, for righteousness exalts a nation, but wickedness leads it astray. Britain has long stood as a beacon of hope and strength. Do not let her light dim under the shadow of evil. Stand for truth, for justice, for the dignity of your country, that it may once again be a land where the righteous flourish and peace reigns. As it is written, "Defend the cause of the oppressed; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Now is the time to act..not for division, not for vengeance, but for the preservation of all that is good, all that is sacred. Choose to stand, choose to fight for the soul of your nation, for only through standing firm can Britain be saved.

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

📚 The Final Book of Accusations: From the Dawn of Empire to The Occupation of Holy Land By Noah The Kings and Their Crimes The King List of Sumer is hailed as the first chronicle of rulership. Scholars often treat it as myth, but behind every name was a dynasty, behind every dynasty a system of tribute, forced labor, and conquest. Each “lugal,” the great man, raised himself high by pressing his people low. Each temple was fed by the toil of slaves, each monument raised upon broken backs. Their crimes echo across millennia, and their names stand condemned. The Antediluvian Kings The King List begins with rulers before the flood: Alulim of Eridu, Alalngar of Eridu, En-men-lu-ana of Bad-tibira, En-men-gal-ana, Dumuzid the Shepherd, En-sipad-zid-ana of Larak, En-men-dur-ana of Sippar, Ubara-Tutu of Shuruppak. Whether legendary or historical, their reigns are counted in tens of thousands of years. Even in myth, their rule was remembered as unnatural. Lifespans stretched into the absurd, suggesting not blessing but domination. These “first kings” were enshrined as semi-divine, an echo of how the earliest rulers cloaked themselves in godhood to sanctify their crimes. They instituted temple slavery, demanded offerings, and introduced the practice of kings seizing women as divine right. Kish and the Early Dynasties After the flood, “kingship was lowered from heaven” to Kish. Here began the first recorded pattern of hereditary domination. Etana of Kish is remembered as “the shepherd who ascended to heaven.” In truth, he was the first to conscript whole communities for temple agriculture. His subjects labored under sun and whip to feed priests and soldiers. Families who resisted tribute were executed. His successors, including Balih and En-me-nuna, carried on the same model: rule by tribute, maintained by armed levy. The names are half-forgotten, but their crimes are not. The forced seizure of crops, the taking of daughters into royal households, the reduction of men into soldiers against their will. Uruk and the Tyranny of Gilgamesh From Uruk, power shifted with Enmerkar and Lugalbanda, rulers wrapped in legend. But the most infamous was Gilgamesh. He is called the hero of the first epic, but in the record of his people, he was a tyrant. The complaint was immortal: “Gilgamesh leaves not the son to his father, nor the maiden to the warrior, nor the wife to her husband.” He claimed every woman of Uruk as his own. He conscripted young men to fight endless wars against Kish, Umma, and others, marching them to death for his pride. His legacy was mythologized to hide atrocity, yet even myth preserves the truth: his people cried out against him. Umma, Lagash, and the Wars of Cities The city-states of Umma and Lagash fought endless wars over land and water. Eannatum of Lagash (c. 2450 BC) boasts on the “Stele of Vultures” of slaying thousands of men from Umma, piling their bodies into fields, leaving corpses for carrion. He claimed divine blessing as he enslaved survivors and seized their farmland. Enannatum I and Enmetena of Lagash continued the same cycle: pillage, forced tribute, and enslavement of conquered citizens. Lugal-Zage-Si of Umma, who united much of Sumer, proclaimed himself chosen by Enlil. But his unification was by fire. He burned Lagash, sacked temples, enslaved priests, dragged women into captivity, and razed shrines. His boast that he ruled “from the Lower Sea to the Upper Sea” was written in the blood of his own people. Akkad and the Birth of Empire Then came Sargon of Akkad, who established the first empire in history. He conquered Sumer’s cities, executed their rulers, deported their peoples. He instituted standing armies fed by plunder, not by the harvest of his own land. He uprooted families, scattering them across the empire, breaking cultures to destroy resistance. His successors extended the crimes: Rimush slaughtered fifteen revolting kings, looting their treasuries, enslaving their subjects. Manishtushu led campaigns across Elam, dragging prisoners by the thousands, branding them for resale. Naram-Sin claimed divinity. His stele immortalizes massacre: enemies speared, trampled, their wives and children enslaved. He sacked Nippur, desecrated the temple of Enlil, enraging even his own citizens. Shar-kali-sharri presided over famine and raids, forcing conscription as drought starved the land. Ur III and the Codification of Slavery Ur-Nammu raised the ziggurat of Ur, a mountain of bricks made by forced labor. His laws imposed fines on the rich but corporal punishment on the poor. Shulgi, declaring himself divine, ordered temple women into ritual prostitution. Surviving tablets list names of women reduced to “offerings.” His reign institutionalized rape as a sacred duty. His successors, Amar-Sin, Shu-Sin, and Ibbi-Sin, presided over decline. As famine spread, they tightened tribute, seizing children as collateral for taxes unpaid. Babylon and the Pride of Hammurabi Hammurabi codified atrocity. His laws legalized debt slavery, enshrined hierarchy, and protected nobles at the expense of commoners. He conquered rivals through slaughter, then celebrated himself as chosen of Marduk. His empire was built on ledgers of debt, chains of slaves, and bloodied swords. Nebuchadnezzar II and the Captivity Centuries later, Nebuchadnezzar II completed the cycle with the most infamous crime: the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. He starved children to death inside city walls. He slaughtered priests at the altar. He raped women as his army pillaged. He tore down the Temple of God, looted its treasures, and dragged survivors into captivity. He mocked captives, demanding songs of joy while they wept in chains. Priests, Merchants, and the Complicity of the Temples Throughout every dynasty, the priests of the ziggurats were partners in crime. They issued loans at interest, seized land when repayment failed, sold sons and daughters into slavery. Temple archives survive recording the names of children sold to cover debts. Religion was used as a veil for usury. Merchants too, empowered by kings, trafficked slaves across the Fertile Crescent, turning flesh into currency. At this point I am running out of space. The list of rulers continues. Later Babylonian kings like Nabopolassar, Nabonidus, Belshazzar, and the Assyrian conquerors of Babylon Tiglath-Pileser III, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal were each guilty of their own massacres, deportations, and desecrations. 🧵Video Thread Series 📽️👇 Countless hours of my life have been devoted to the careful crafting of Part 2. Every sentence was shaped with deliberation, every thought refined with the utmost precision, not for my sake, but so that it might serve as a lantern in the fog for those who seek truth. If you found even a measure of illumination within these words, I ask only one thing in return... allow it to travel further. Share it with those whose hearts are still restless, whose minds remain clouded, whose souls yearn for remembrance. For knowledge, once awakened, is not meant to be hoarded in silence. It grows in strength when carried from one soul to another, as flame kindles flame, until what began in a solitary hand becomes a great light upon the earth. By sharing, you do not merely extend my labor; you become a participant in its purpose, a co-bearer of its message, and a steward of the awakening it was written to inspire. I stand permanently barred from every channel of monetization, and I accept this reality without hesitation or regret. As with all of my writings and every piece of content I have ever produced, what I create will be given freely to all who seek it. I devote uncounted hours, often at great personal cost, not for profit nor recognition, but out of an unwavering passion for the dignity of humanity. My labor is not transactional but sacrificial, poured out with the singular hope that through these words, at least one soul might awaken, one mind might break free from illusion, and one heart might remember its divine inheritance. To teach under such circumstances is not merely to instruct but to bear witness. It is to believe that truth, when offered without price, carries a resonance that no barrier can silence and no ban can extinguish. This is why I persist, why I endure exclusion, why I choose generosity over gain. For what value has wealth if it is hoarded, and what meaning has knowledge if it is withheld? To awaken even a solitary spirit is to alter the course of eternity itself, and it is for this reason that my work will never be bound by the machinery of monetization.
