Trump Has No Soul

 

Trump is dangerous not simply because of his imbecility and unbridled narcissism, but because he lacks the core attributes of empathy and understanding that define the human soul.

The most profound realities of human existence are often the ones that can never be measured or quantified. Wisdom. Beauty. Truth. Compassion. Courage. Love. Loneliness. Grief. The struggle to face our own mortality. A life of meaning.

But perhaps the greatest conundrum is the concept of a soul. Do we have a soul? Do societies have souls? And, most basically, what is a soul?

Philosophers and theologians, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine and Arthur Schopenhauer, have all grappled with the concept of a soul, with Schopenhauer preferring to define the mystical force within us as will. Sigmund Freud used the Greek word psyche. But most have accepted, whatever the definition, some version of a soul’s existence.

While the concept of the soul is opaque, soullessness is not. Soullessness means something inside of us is dead. Basic human feelings and connections are shut down. Those without souls lack empathy. I saw the soulless in war. Those so calcified inside they kill without any demonstrable feeling or remorse.

The soulless exist in a state of insatiable self-worship. The idol they have erected to themselves must be constantly fed. It demands a never-ending stream of victims. It demands abject obedience and subservience, publicly on display at Trump cabinet meetings.  (more...)

As pro-Israel repression grows, some ‘leftists’ cheer

 

Those promoting violence across western Asia are hammering at our civil liberties. Authoritarian Zionism has made significant gains in recent days.

Monday the Toronto police announced they would ban protests in a neighbourhood because three in ten people living there are Jewish. They conceded to the months-long push by genocidal Jewish supremacists to suppress a weekly rally at Bathurst and Sheppard. Police announced that protesters won’t be permitted to march on side streets and might be barred from the intersection they’ve been rallying at for over a year (initially launched in response to a “Rally for Israel” taking place there).

Concurrently, Toronto police chief Myron Demkiw announced the creation of a Counter-Terrorism Security Unit. According to Demkiw, the new unit will “substantially increase the resources dedicated to countering terrorism and violent extremism, supported by robust analytical capacity and dedicated leadership.” Demkiw said, “Torontonians can expect to see Toronto Police officers deployed with tactical capabilities, including patrol rifles.” Framed as a response to shots fired at empty synagogues and the US consulate earlier in the month, police patrolling with semi-automatic machine guns is designed to intimidate opponents of Jewish supremacist colonialism. Already, the Toronto police operate the anti-Palestinian Project Resolute.

Ten days ago, Ontario premier Doug Ford sought to ban a major pro-Palestinian demonstration in the city. After a decade-long Zionist push to bar Al-Quds Day, the premier instigated a last-minute injunction to ban the protest. Fortunately, a judge dismissed the bid.

Ford pursued the repressive action a day after meeting with Israel’s ambassador. Iddo Moed explicitly demanded the suppression of Canadian civil liberties to protect his lawless rampaging state from criticism. According to a Canadian Press report, “Moed suggested Canada has to constrain certain freedoms in order to stop the influence of nefarious actors.” Moed told a B’nai Brith forum, “We have a very clear objective this year, and that is to create a significant change in the way antisemitism is being dealt with here in Canada. It is hard for a liberal person to think that we have to limit other people’s freedoms, so that our freedom will be protected. But that’s where we are right now.”

As per the Canadian Press, the ambassador’s meeting with Canadian Jewish organizations was part of a broader push by the Israeli government to suppress Canadian civil liberties.  (more...)

Seven Visions Or Later Legend? The 1933 Prophecy Problem

 

John and Charles examine the contradictions inside William Branham’s claimed 1933 visions, focusing on the prophecies that disappear, change, or expand over time. They walk through missing predictions like the "three isms," the warnings about eggs and valleys, and the later-added claims about women, Mary, and America’s destruction, showing how the story shifts from retelling to retelling.

The discussion also explores why the 1977 doomsday prediction became so powerful inside the Message and how failed end-times teaching shaped fear, hopelessness, and isolation. Along the way, John and Charles argue that Branham’s prophecy list was not evidence of supernatural insight, but a changing narrative used to reinforce prophetic authority and a cultic worldview.

"Torture & Genocide": U.N. Expert Francesca Albanese Denounces Israeli Abuse of Palestinians

 

United Nations expert Francesca Albanese's latest report warns that Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale that "suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent" and that "torture has effectively become state policy" since October 2023.

Fake friction between Germany and Israel

 

No amount of groveling is enough to satisfy Israel.

Steffen Seibert, Germany’s ambassador in Tel Aviv, ought to know.

A few days ago, Seibert declared his sadness at what he called a “violent settler rampage in Palestinian villages.” Soon after making that comment, he was accused by Gideon Saar, Israel’s foreign minister, of an “obsession with Jews living in Judea and Samaria.”

Saar managed to pack quite a lot of deception into his brief outburst.

The term “Judea and Samaria” is itself deceptive as it implies that the Bible lends legitimacy to Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank and all its attendant brutality.

The idea that Seibert harbors an “obsession” about settlers in the West Bank and their thuggery is deceptive, too. The ambassador generally portrays Israel – the state building the settlements in the West Bank – as a victim, rather than a perpetrator of violence.

Saar concluded his rant by saying it is “good to know a new ambassador will soon arrive – one who will strengthen Israel-Germany relations.”

The inference that those relations had weakened during Seibert’s stint in Tel Aviv is similarly deceptive.

Seibert has held his current post since 2022. On his watch, Germany has been the second largest weapons exporter to Israel; the US is at number one.

By definition, then, Germany is the second largest enabler of Israel’s crimes against humanity, including the Gaza genocide. If that is what happens when relations are supposed to be strained, imagine how much worse things could be if Germany and Israel sang in perfect harmony.  (more...)

UN votes to denounce slave trade as ‘gravest crime against humanity’, calls for reparatory justice

 

The United Nations has voted to condemn trafficking of enslaved Africans as “the gravest crime against humanity” in history, calling for reparatory justice while urging the West to return the looted heritage.

On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a non-binding resolution describing the trafficking of enslaved Africans “the gravest crime against humanity”, calling for reparations as “a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs.”

Of the 193-member world body, 123 members voted in favor, 52 states, including the United Kingdom and members of the European Union, were abstentions, while the United States, Israel and Argentina voted against the landmark resolution, which had been proposed by Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama.

“Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of millions who suffered the indignity of slavery,” Mahama stressed after the passing of the resolution, which was backed by the African Union (AU) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). 

Ghana’s president, whose country has been at the forefront of an effort across Africa and the Caribbean for reparatory justice, also lamented the erasure of Black history and censorship of teaching the “truth of slavery, segregation and racism” in American schools.  (more...)

Lockheed Martin Employees Given 48 Hours to Respond: A Tight Deadline Looms

 

We, the Handala Hack , have today initiated a new phase of Operation Lockheed Martin.

We now possess the complete data of 28 senior American engineers based in the occupied territories and involved in military projects—including names, identification numbers, passports, places of residence, and service bases. All of this information has been leaked .

These engineers, who have worked for years in key technical roles for the occupier’s military, were engaged in critical projects such as the maintenance of F-35 and F-22 fighter jets and the THAAD defense system. The veil of technical secrecy has now been lifted.

In recent hours, we have established contact with some of them to demonstrate just how fragile digital barriers can be. From conversations about their daily interests to ordinary details of their lives, all was done to show that “privacy” is merely a word in a book, not a reality.

We called them and told them where they live, the names of their children, their favorite foods, their weekend activities, and the locations of their families’ residences in the United States.

They were told they have a limited time to change course and leave an area that is no longer safe. We warned that delaying their decision means entrusting their fate to a storm that has already begun—a storm made not of smoke and fire, but of data and exposure.

They were given 48 hours to cease cooperation with the Zionist regime and leave the occupied territories immediately. Otherwise, their homes would become missile targets. We also have friends in the United States who care more for their families than they do themselves, and if they do not return home, these friends will visit their families.

Go home right now.  (more...)
