I shall continue to read your articles with great curiosity and admiration, Francisco. Definitely not cancelling my subscription. You make so much sense. Out of the two options, Trump or Harris, I am glad it is Trump, I cannot imagine how awful the other alternative would be. I too have a strong feeling that the assassination attempt was a show. Can't wait for your take on Trump and the middle east. Will Israel survive, how much more torture and suffering is awaiting us?

Thanks for your support. Interestingly, there was no hemorrhage among paid subscribers. I guess you think you're supporting good research. Makes me glad!

At this stage, I believe anything is possible...

Keep going. It's the nature of the world that which is genuine is overlooked. But in the end it becomes recognized.

The word for that is "Truth".

On the topic of false realities: I'm watching a little clip of fire department spraying the upside down Delta plane. I'm just calling it like I see it: it looks like a real fuselage, I see smoke and they are spraying it down. But the entire notion of this event is absurd to me. It's a trivial matter for the feds to arrange for an inverted fuselage and to set this all up for the cameras. Delta is offering $30k to each passenger--with full knowledge it will cost them nothing b/c it's a fake event. This is just my take though. I'm sure a plane could really easily land upside down, with no one seriously hurt, in the midst of a weekly 'air disaster' propaganda campaign....

Regarding Trump: if he cuts off support for our pet Ukraine nazi government, that is all good. I think he and Musk should have made top priority to halt and 'de nazify' the Arabs of the middle east. To entirely cut off all promotion for the nazi narrative they are raised with. He should really do a *truthful* version of what Obama was always doing. Obama was constantly apologizing for oppressing Muslims--which was a lie. The lie is that (in reality) the US was *helping* islamist butchers, only oppressing secular, tolerant non-observant Muslims. But Obama obfuscated and lied about the facts.

The antidote is to apologize on behalf of the US and EU for supporting the indoctrination of Arabs into genocidal neo-nazi hatred and Jewhate since 1948, to let them know that there is a peaceful way, but they have to stop being lapdogs of the western elites, and stop listening to their imams and mass media Arab talking heads, who are all paid poodles of the western elites. He could let them know that their hatred is exactly how the cia/mi6 have molded them to think. But he and Musk are not doing this as of yet...

And a litmus for 'is Trump for real?' might be Iran. Pahlavi is making a media push to be put back in charge. The cia/mi6 installed the ayatollah and have kept the Islamic republic propped the entire time. So liberating Iran from our pet islamist despots and restoring the shah would go a long way to proving that he is at least doing 'good' (even if it is orchestrated at levels above him). But so far, Pahlavi has not been able to re-gain control and it cannot happen without the help/support of western intelligence.

I think that you'll find that Jewhate started long before 1948. In 1834 there was the Safed pogrom which lasted for a month. In 1929 the Hebron massacre occurred during Palestinian riots. No Jewhate history would be complete without reference to Hajj Amin al-Husayni. Even as early as 1920 he led the Nebi Musa or Jerusalem riots. Although found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison, the British pardoned him and appointed him as the Mufti, and Grand Mufti shortly after, of Jerusalem instead.

I'm aware of all of this. Arabs squabble much among each other, and are not very united in anything, but when their leaders incite them to hate Jews, they are glad to oblige. Since 1948, the US and UK have lead the way in funding and promoting Jewhate in Arab society, as well as appointing their leaders. Their repeatedly edited bible definitely justifies it, and these funding governments are the ones that tell Muslims how their own religion is properly observed. They are an easily manipulated people, a submitted people, loyal footsoldiers for fascism.

The British seemed quite unconcerned with Jewish safety in 1929 either. Let's not forget that Jews were banned from Britain at some point. We're just not a very popular tribe. You're quite right. Nothing unites the bickering Arab nations any better than a call to fight the Zionist threat. But at the same time, they seldom truly unite as one. 1948 is a good example. The nations waited for each other to get a hiding. Had they truly united as one, it would have been a lot harder. Even now. Hezbollah let Hamas do the initial fighting. Had they attacked in unison things would have been a lot worse and many more prisoners would have been taken. But it also seems that Hamas made the pre-emptive move.

Easily manipulated? I guess most nations are. If you're fed a diet of nonsense from birth, that's the truth as you know it. Look how easily the West has been duped now. The younger Americans in polling showed a very strong leaning toward the Palestinian cause. As far as I remember almost 50/50. That's the future support we've always relied on for American leadership to play this game. If the support dissipates then they won't need to 'play' anymore.

I think Francisco would agree with this: we're very popular with regular working people, and even the fellahin flocked to us so that they could make a better life. But we are hated by the fascist overlords of society.

I can't help wondering if this all-out verbal attack on Ukraine isn't a red herring designed to take the heat off of the Middle East. Not only is it a complete flip of Biden's policy, but it suggests to little me that a US wanna-be-dictator is not bothering with any pretense of cozying up to Russia. I can remember moments during Trump's first term when people were questioning whether he wasn't a Russian spy.

Francisco, what you are describing sounds like the old Red-Herring argument where the fallacy consists in diverting attention from the real issue by focusing instead on an issue having only a surface relevance to the first. I can't think of a President or leader in my life time that hasn't employed this strategy; and I started voting back in the "early 70's". Thanks to you, I'm no longer a Democrat, but I'm certainly not a Republican. I agree that we are being managed by these "bosses". But at the same time, we seem to be cycling one corrupt, incompetent and manipulative leadership for another over and over...?

But they are NOT incompetent. If they are manipulating us, then they are COMPETENT. We really need to liberate ourselves from this notion (which they push on us) that the most powerful people in all of history don't know what they are doing. Bumbling fools do not likely become that powerful.

The reason they keep trying to convince us that they are incompetent is that the things they do are a horror show. If we conclude they are incompetent, they can avoid a democratic surge to remove them all from power. But they cannot avoid that if we conclude they are psychopaths.

I also like a lot of things that trump seems to be doing. However my initial reaction to the assassin's attempt was that it was theater. I hope trump really is a good friend to Israel but I don't think he's trustworthy. I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket

Maybe some people cannot handle the notion that it's all a very scripted reality. So far, I've been disappointed to the cashflow to the neo-nazi protestors (i.e. last night in NY) has not been cut off. It's possible that some NGOs are paying the participants, but it was typical USAID type expenditure too. Social media Jewhaters are toiling away just as they were before Jan 20.

Very weird that US media keeps featuring plane crashes. I saw a clip of the upside down plane. I have no comprehension of how that happens at all. Tbh, I'm not even 100% sure that the clip was real. The feds and their media have full ability to present fake realities (as you've discussed).

It has only been one month. If these DOGE budget cuts/layoffs actually put money back in my pockets, then I guess I'll get more engrossed in the show.

But real bullets were fired and an attendee killed. How do you “arrange” for co-ordination of Trump’s movements precisely so that it only knocked his ear? Why assume conspiracy when mere incompetence can sufficed explain events?

I hope you are wrong and that we are not just experiencing a “limited hang-out” but I greatly appreciate you being a gadfly to keep me from falling into complacent credulity! 👍

Thanks for your comment. You are assuming that bullet made contact with his ear. I see no reason to assume that. They TOLD us that. But that doesn't mean it's true. Just like they told us other things, which also are not necessarily true.

I realize this is very difficult. You are told certain things, and you begin assuming they are true, and you forget that assuming they are true is a HYPOTHESIS. Yes, perhaps a bullet did graze Trump's ear. That's one hypothesis. But perhaps something else happened.

Just because incompetence might explain certain events, that does not mean it is the best hypothesis. It certainly is not a very good hypothesis if the person responsible for the gross incompetence is then promoted to head of the Secret Service... That is dramatically inconsistent with the incompetence hypothesis.

For the press not pressing Trump about the appointment of Sean Curran two other contributing factors: over the whole Biden administration the press have become remarkably lazy, and, Trump’s threats to purge the White House press corps by revoking credentials has caused them to become much more timid. . . . livelihoods at stake. And maybe the journalism profession has just become less competent and too complacent

I think a better hypothesis is that the press is entirely corrupted by the CIA. We have had very dramatic disclosures about that in the past. Here's one:
