The surreptitious non-obvious is being revealed.

Eric is optimistic, determined, adamant. That's part of what it takes. #diligence

Tweet by Eric Garland: "IDF *manufacturers* antisemitism to get away with war crimes. But they’re caught now. That game is over." reposting one by Working Mass: "BREAKING: Working Mass can confirm that the antisemitic chants were shouted not by encampment organizers, but by pro-Israel counter-supporters. We are waiting on a response from Northeastern about their decision to arrest their own students in light of this new information."

Russ Smith @fuzzyruss

I have no reason to be surprised that I see no perspective or context for the situation in the Middle East. The US is undereducated. If fixing the M.E. was easy, it would have been done by now. Oh, and IT'S NOT OURS TO CONTROL. But, hey, shutdown schools and stir up shit. That's better. *sigh

US DOS on the job: 'Dismantle The Mob' edition.

Tweet by Eric Garland: "*without Russia and Israel
That's the real headline." quoting one by Department of State: "The U.S. and the People’s Republic of China are resuming cooperation:
•counternarcotics
•restarting our military-to-military conversations
•looking together at the future of artificial intelligence
•further strengthening our people-to-people connections." and my reply: "How to bust up the Mob: bilateral talks?"

Tweet by Abraham Gutman: "!!!
Former spokesperson for families of Israeli hostages in Gaza says they learned that after October 7, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages to prevent a ground offensive.
“No doubt that Netanyahu is preventing a deal to release the hostage.”"

As previously noted, all feelings are valid.

And this opinion seems worth noting for future reference.

Two tweets by Riff2112: "The #SCOTUS spent the majority of its time on hypothetical issues that could face future Presidents
The "Ripeness Doctrine" prohibits courts from exercising jurisdiction over a case until an actual controversy is presented involving a threat of injury that is REAL and IMMEDIATE" and "The #SCOTUS virtually ignored the facts of the instant case involving the planning, conspiracy, organization and orchestrating of the J6 Insurrection...and deciding if his acts should be immune from prosecution.
It was frustrating and maddening to listen to."

Trauma Epidemic @BeanOpenMind

Realistically, the ruling will have little practical effect. DT won't be elected, new case(s) brought next term, court expanded next year (after Dem trifecta sworn in), and potentially Justice(s) investigated/impeached/retire (after clear, firm 'invitation'), and/or legislation passed.

Someone(s) sold other holdings yesterday and bought DJT today, apparently. I see that Ted Cruz fits the bill. Could he? Would he?

Tweet by Quiver Quantitative: "BREAKING: Senator Ted Cruz has sold up to $500K of Goldman Sachs stock.
Cruz' wife is a managing director at Goldman Sachs.
This is the largest trade we've ever seen from Cruz."

Trauma Epidemic @BeanOpenMind

$DJT tumbling appears to have begun.

New lows ahead (absent some 'angel' willing to throw money his way). Very likely sub-20. Very possibly well below that.

The campus police activities demonstrate the next level that Israel appears willing to elevate to in the U.S.

The dots connect.

#HostileForeignInterference

Tweet by Jeremy Rothe-Kushel: "This is a story about Zionist terrorism & the Jewish ‘Community’ TM in the U.S. that deploys terrorist threats & defamation on behalf of Zionist interests." quoting one by Juliette Kayyam: "The Jewish groups claims that she is antisemitic include the fact her Instagram bio links to a page that says "learn about what’s happening in Palestine, and how to help." Additional threats that came in against the valedictorian were the stated reason for USC's decision."

Trauma Epidemic @BeanOpenMind

Little doubt that an effort will be made to infiltrate, manipulate, and exploit the 'ceasefire now!' advocacy by Israeli ops (as they have done in cities across the US for decades) to once again turn Americans against each other and sow doubt in the Administration.

Tweet by Arthur Bloom: "Just to be clear, Glick is saying Israel should retaliate against the U.S. for following U.S. law, and Israel should start a war the U.S. would have to bail them out of. The Likud-Republican alignment is based in lawlessness, ingratitude, and abuse of Americans' goodwill." with reply by Eric Garland: "And for American citizens, it at least borders on treason.", quoting tweet by Caroline Glick (see quoted spout).

Tweet by Caroline Glick: "A US move to sanction Netzah Yehuda will be a move to sanction the IDF. It will be an open breach of relations with Israel and Israel should respond in kind. If the unit is sanctioned, Israel should
-Ban all US embassy personnel from entering Judea and Samaria.
-Ban the terror-supporting, Jew hating Palestinian Authority from using the Israeli banking system.
-Arrest all PA personnel that incite terrorism and Jew hatred, (that's all of them).
-Attack Iran's nuclear facilities and oil and gas platforms.
Enough is enough." quoting one by Benny Ganz: "The ‘Netzah Yehuda’ battalion is an inseparable part of the Israel Defense Forces. It is subject to military law and is responsible for operating in full compliance with International law. …"

Those whose gig includes online political commentary are worthy of scrutiny.

Might they have a particular focus absent intention? Yes. Might it be helpful? Yes. Might a time come when their influence is useful to others? Yes.

Quote from Noel Casler's Nov. 27, 2023 Substack post: "The difference now is the monetizing of misinformation and the encouragement of individual creators receiving financial rewards for spreading falsehoods and outright propaganda.
We saw this in the immediate aftermath of October 7th when Elon Musk promoted two monetized X accounts as reliable sources for following ‘breaking news’ on that awful morning.
When it was pointed out they were both known antisemitic accounts and had already shared video that wasn’t even from that day and was decidedly anti-Israeli, Musk removed his posts but the damage was done.
The same loathsome South African billionaire toured one of the kibbutzim that were attacked by Hamas with Benjamin Netanyahu today, held a Q&A with the Israeli Prime Minister on X ‘Spaces’ and apparently struck a deal for Starlink coverage in the region.
Netanyahu is obviously providing Musk some P.R. cover to staunch the exodus of advertisers on X since his latest antisemitic post ...

“We inhabit a country filled with an enormous amount of extremely ignorant folks and entire industries that are built on keeping them that way.”
This post is excellent- like other comedians before him, Noel Casler is an intelligent, serious, insightful chronicler of modern times. Worth the read :

'Brothers in Arms' - by Noel Casler - Noel's Notes

We live in a time in which people routinely mistake narcissism for patriotism. We inhabit a country filled with an enormous amount of extremely ignorant folks and entire industries that are built on keeping them that way. It has made some tiny and weak men very wealthy.

Trauma Epidemic @BeanOpenMind

How many countries are Rudy and #DonnieNoCred unregistered foreign agents of? Only 3? 5? More?

In all that I've seen it doesn't seem realistic for it to be only 1 for any of the Mob, right down to the GOP House first-termers.

Is it a pyramid or just a pile? Both.

Every move Israel makes is designed to distract from the groundwork they've laid for future U.S. moves.

This goes back to before 2016. (Many decades before, it seems.) It's not difficult to piece together once their successful redirection of attention to RU is considered as such.

Both 'sides'.

Trauma Epidemic @BeanOpenMind

That's the framing they want us to use. We're already deeply entangled, and they don't want their extensive influence to receive the attention that is long overdue.

The strategy goes even deeper than that--yet we repeatedly rise to the surface to take the bait, leaving those depths undisturbed.

Tweet by Jocelyn Benson: "Today [at]MIAttyGen
[at]dananessel
announced serious felony charges against former Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield and his wife, Stephanie.
I’m grateful to the AG and her team for their meticulous investigation into the allegations against the former Speaker. It is alarming to me that, because Michigan’s disclosure, ethics and transparency laws are so weak, the evidence that led to today’s criminal charges was only discovered as the result of separate unrelated allegations.
The fact that the alleged financial crimes, including the egregious and blatant embezzlement of taxpayer dollars and nonprofit funds for personal gain and enrichment, were able to go undetected for so long underscores a failure of our current laws to prohibit corruption in our state government.
This culture of corruption must end. Our citizens deserve better.
Michigan is consistently ranked dead last among all states for our transparency and ethics laws. A glimmer of hope today is fou...

Trauma Epidemic @BeanOpenMind

Our collective response matters. Despite our valid concerns, we've adjusted our response very little. Still many hope and wishes for 'saviors' among the government, complaints about MSM and others.

That we don't strategize beyond that is on us.

Missouri's ongoing coup.

As much as I appreciate the Biden administration's domestic policy agenda and accomplishments, I won't deny his getting played (at best) by Netanyahu. It's worse than pathetic.

Our greatest challenge ahead as citizens is to overcome the decades-long infiltration.
