17 Nov <\/em>2023 – As the Elite program to kill or enslave us all proceeds virtually unimpeded, one way in which this is being accomplished is by using two of the Elite\u2019s oldest known tools: War and genocide. With the active complicity of its agents in governments and elsewhere, the Elite is killing off substantial numbers of \u2018ordinary\u2019 people (but certainly not Elite members or agents) in wars between various countries, most notably, Ukraine and Russia, as well as in genocidal attacks such as that by Israel against the Palestinian ghetto of Gaza.<\/p>\n

While I have previously explained how the war between Russia and Ukraine (along with the latter\u2019s NATO allies) is being used to advance the Elite program \u2013 see \u2018The War in Ukraine: Understanding and Resisting the Global Elite\u2019s Deeper Agenda\u2019<\/a> \u2013 it is equally clear that wars anywhere, as well as genocides, serve the same purpose.<\/p>\n

In this article I will focus on how the genocidal assault on Gaza and the ongoing military attacks on the occupied West Bank constitute a fundamental threat to the people of Palestine while at the same time they are only a local manifestation of the wider assault on humanity. See \u2018We Are Being Smashed Politically, Economically, Medically and Technologically by the Elite\u2019s \u201cGreat Reset\u201d: Why? How Do We Fight Back Effectively?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, very few people are perceiving this connection and the fundamental threat it poses to us all and, in the sense that this is being achieved, the genocide in Gaza is successfully distracting people from the wider program to kill or enslave everyone.<\/p>\n

This is obvious from any candid assessment of the evidence readily available to those seeking it. Let me start with an overview of the evidence in relation to Israel\u2019s genocidal assault on Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Genocide in Gaza<\/strong><\/p>\n

To begin, this evidence reveals the fact that the Israeli government has long supported and funded Hamas as one part of its strategy to divide and disempower the official Palestinian leadership, keep ordinary Israelis and Palestinians in a state of fearful submission to their respective elites, and undermine any efforts to achieve Palestinian statehood. There are many studies that discuss various elements and motivations for this arrangement. See, for example, \u2018<\/a>How and why Israel helped create Hamas?\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Criminality Beyond Description: Netanyahu Supports both Hamas as well as Al Qaeda Terrorists. Israel Actively \u201cCooperates\u201d with Hamas, the Islamic State and Al Qaeda\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Hamas\u2019 Attack on Israelis Strengthens, Not Weakens, Israel\u2019s Right Wing Political Elite\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Hamas Created by Israel and Recognised by Council of Europe\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz<\/em>: \u2018Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas\u2019. See \u2018<\/a>Analysis: Another Concept Implodes: Israel Can\u2019t Be Managed by a Criminal Defendant\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It includes evidence that, despite the claim of an \u2018intelligence failure\u2019 by Israel when Mossad is possibly the most powerful intelligence agency on the planet \u2013 see \u2018<\/a>No, the Hamas Invasion Was Not an Israeli \u201cIntelligence Failure\u201d\u2019<\/a> \u2013 Israel and Hamas colluded to facilitate the Hamas incursion into Israel on 7 October 2023. According to former Israeli intelligence analyst Efrat Fenigson: \u2018To me this surprise attack seems like a planned operation\u2026. the work of the Deep State\u2026. the people of Israel and the people of Palestine have been sold, once again, to the higher powers that be.\u2019 See \u2018Israel-Hamas War – An Update Oct. 7th, 2023, an update from the field, with my key insights, questions and concerns\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, according to one source citing a former commander of the Kerem Shalom Battalion which oversaw a section of the high-security barrier between Gaza and Israel, and who knows the area in detail: \u2018The obstacle is built so that even a fox cannot pass it.\u2019 He goes on to elaborate why this is the case in considerable detail. See \u2018Section Commander of the Gaza Fence: \u201cThe obstacle is built so that even a fox cannot pass it\u201d. They Let It Happen. The Hamas Attack Was Allowed to Close the Book on Palestine\u2019<\/a>. Probably as part of the official cover-up, this was effectively denied by General Herzl Halevi, formerly head of the IDF Southern Command and now Israel Defense Force Chief of Staff. See \u2018Israeli army chief admits \u201cfailure\u201d\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But let us assume for a moment that Hamas is not an Israeli collaborator. Was the raid on 7 October \u2018The Most Successful Military Raid of this Century\u2019 as it was characterized and described by military analyst Scott Ritter? See \u2018The October 7 Hamas Assault on Israel: The Most Successful Military Raid of this Century\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Did it actually matter that Hamas appears to have achieved movement in the direction of its stated goals \u2013 as noted by Ritter: to reassert the right of the Palestinian people to a homeland, release of the 10,000-plus Palestinian political prisoners (including children) locked up in Israel, a return to the sanctity of the Al Aqsa Mosque \u2013 as Ritter claims and despite or even because of the enormous \u2018sacrifice\u2019 made by the ordinary men, women and children of Gaza?<\/p>\n

Did all of those Palestinians \u2013 including children \u2013 who weren\u2019t consulted about the raid and have been (or will be) killed during Israel\u2019s genocidal response knowingly and willingly<\/em> sacrifice their lives? Or were they hapless victims of the violent ideology of their leaders who do not value \u2018ordinary\u2019 lives?<\/p>\n

Despite the truism that Ritter identifies \u2013 \u2018you can\u2019t solve a problem unless you first properly define it\u2026. any solution which has nothing to do with the problem involved is, literally, no solution at all\u2019 \u2013 with which I agree, Ritter has a very limited, essentially military, interpretation of the conflict and what will be necessary to resolve it. That is, he suggests, the conflict is between the Israeli government and Hamas, it is military in nature and it will be won (or lost) according to political shifts the military resistance offered by Hamas generates in other parts of the world (including the Arab\/Islamic worlds and the United States).<\/p>\n

But as will be obvious from my explanation below, Ritter does not understand this conflict, particularly the global forces driving it and their reasons for doing so and that, from the perspective of \u2018ordinary\u2019 people, the \u2018gains\u2019 from the raid he nominates (and the genocide following) are worth nothing, and that the deaths of both ordinary Israelis and Palestinians as a result is a terrible price to pay.<\/p>\n

For brief attempts to offer some insight into this overall conflict and ways forward, these articles by Professor Johan Galtung (written more than a decade ago) are worth considering: \u2018Palestine\/Israel: What Peace Would Look Like\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Israel\u2019s Sociocide, Genocide, Ecocide in Gaza\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any case, whatever the origin of the military raid by Hamas (and its ongoing engagement with Israeli forces in Gaza), the evidence of the killing of ordinary Israelis and Palestinians is well documented.<\/p>\n

This includes evidence that, in accordance with the Israeli military\u2019s \u2018Hannibal Directive\u2019 \u2013 crudely, \u2018better dead than abducted\u2019 \u2013 the Israeli military was responsible for a significant number of the military and civilian deaths of its own citizens during the attack by Hamas. See \u2018A growing number of reports indicate Israeli forces responsible for Israeli civilian and military deaths following October 7 attack\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It includes evidence that the Hamas incursion known as \u2018Operation Al-Aqsa Flood\u2019 and the ongoing Israeli response has led to hostilities that have so far killed well over a thousand ordinary Israeli citizens and soldiers (and zero governing Israelis) as well as more than 10,000 ordinary Palestinian men, women and children, and some \u2018soldiers\u2019 (but zero leading Palestinians). See \u2018Is the Gaza-Israel Fighting \u201cA False Flag\u201d? They Let it Happen? Their Objective Is \u201cto Wipe Gaza Off the Map\u201d?\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Israel-Palestine: <\/a>Names released of 7,028 Palestinians killed after Biden questions death toll\u2019<\/a> and \u2018More than 10,000 Palestinians killed since 7 October, say health officials\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It includes evidence that Israel intends to \u2018ethnically cleanse\u2019 Gaza, possibly by forcing the Palestinian population out of Gaza and into the Sinai desert in Egypt. See \u2018Israeli Intelligence Ministry Policy Paper on Gaza\u2019s Civilian Population, October 2023\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Expel all Palestinians from Gaza, recommends Israeli gov\u2019t ministry\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his thoughtful analysis of the situation, former UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Professor Richard Falk offers a similar conclusion:<\/p>\n

My analysis leads me to conclude that this ongoing war is not primarily about security in Gaza or security threats posed by Hamas, but rather about something much more sinister and absurdly cynical.<\/em><\/p>\n

Israel has seized this opportunity to fulfill Zionist territorial ambitions amid \u201cthe fog of war\u201d by inducing one last surge of Palestinian catastrophic dispossession. Whether it is called \u201cethnic cleansing\u201d or \u201cgenocide\u201d is of secondary importance, although it already qualifies as one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century.<\/em> See \u2018Israel-Palestine war: Israel\u2019s endgame is much more sinister than restoring \u201csecurity\u201d\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Hasan Illaik argues that the plan to \u2018displace millions of Palestinians\u2019 is \u2018nigh impossible to achieve\u2019 and notes that the plan has been rejected by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi \u2013 see \u2018The US is fueling, not avoiding, a regional war\u2019<\/a> \u2013 even its substantial or just partial fulfillment would open new possibilities for Israel and the United States.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, despite the evidence presented above and the considered opinion of the experts cited, Scott Ritter argues that Israel will find it extraordinarily difficult to defeat Hamas. Ritter offers historical evidence of battles taking place in confined spaces where damage has been inflicted by prior bombing that impedes subsequent ground operations because of the vast quantities of rubble. He also cites other battles where large tunnel networks were extremely difficult to neutralize. In Ritter\u2019s view, Hamas has both of these battlefield advantages in Gaza, including over 500 kilometres of tunnels. See \u2018<\/a>I<\/a>srael Faces \u201cNear Impossible Task\u201d in Gaza\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, however, there is some evidence that Israel is planning to flood Hamas tunnels with nerve gas \u2013 see \u2018Israel-Palestine war: Israel plans to flood Hamas tunnels with nerve gas, source says\u2019<\/a> \u2013 but, whether or not it does so, a ground invasion is not the only way to \u2018clear\u2019 Gaza of its \u2018surface\u2019 population with another weapon already being used by Israel against Gaza.<\/p>\n

As in earlier manifestations of war and genocide, military forces have sometimes laid siege to a trapped population to starve it to death. And this is now happening in Gaza. According to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: \u2018We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed. We are fighting against human animals, and we are acting accordingly.\u2019 See \u2018Israeli Defense Minister Announces Siege On Gaza To Fight \u201cHuman Animals\u201d\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Employing this tactic in Gaza will compound the death toll dramatically as time goes by with water treatment plants and medical facilities, such as hospitals, already destroyed by a sophisticated combination of weapons. See \u2018<\/a>They let humanitarian aid in. Then they bombed it so that Gaza would starve\u2019<\/a> and \u2018\u201cOperation Al-Aqsa Flood\u201d Day 20: Human rights group warns Israel is \u201cusing starvation as a weapon of war\u201d in Gaza\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can see photos of the devastation in Gaza and its genocidal impact on the Palestinian people in the compilation presented by Antonio C. S. Rosa here: \u2018Genocide in Pictures: Worth a Trillion Words\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any case, if we step back from the immediacy of this conflict and consider the Elite perspective on what is taking place, plenty of people are being killed and other Elite objectives are being achieved by what is happening.<\/p>\n

A Regional War?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond what happens in Gaza, however, the conflict includes evidence that this war could be expanded beyond Israeli and Palestinian borders into the wider region so that the killing can be compounded and a wider set of Elite objectives fulfilled.<\/p>\n

This could occur by engaging Hezbollah in Lebanon \u2013 although prior speculation regarding the role of Hezbollah in supporting the Palestinians was toned down following Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah\u2019s carefully-crafted speech on 3 November, which was notably moderate: see \u2018Hezbollah\u2019s Hassan Nasrallah speech on Israel-Hamas war: Key takeaways\u2019<\/a> \u2013 resistance groups in Syria and by attacking Iran. While previously considered \u2018unlikely\u2019 by the prominent analyst Professor Michel Chossudovsky, he now believes \u2018The war on Iran Is No Longer On Hold\u2019. See \u2018\u201cRegional Middle East war is possible, including a US attack on Iran,\u201d interview with Dr. Jamal Wakim\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Israel and the US-NATO Alliance. Towards Military Escalation? \u201cTheater Iran Near Term (TIRANNT)\u201d? The War on Iran Is No Longer On Hold?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, as Chossudovsky points out in his most recent video interview, Israel has a vast military (including nuclear) capability compared to the poorly-armed Palestinians and is reinforced by both extensive military aid from the United States as well as a major US military presence (including two aircraft carrier battle groups, a substantial fleet of fighter aircraft and special forces troops) that has been deployed to the Middle East to engage in a wider war in pursuit of long-standing US political objectives to subjugate Iran and reshape the Middle East. See \u2018A Planned US-Israeli Attack on Iran is Contemplated: The U.S. led War on the People of Palestine and the Middle East is a Criminal Undertaking\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Professor Michael Hudson agrees. In an interview, Hudson indicated that \u2018the United States has always viewed Israel as just our foreign military base, not Israel\u2026. [our] landed aircraft carrier\u2026 takeoff point\u2019 for the US to control the Middle East with its vast oil and gas reserves. But in elaborating his explanation, Hudson goes on to highlight that the US supports Netanyahu (rather than Israel itself), \u2018an unpleasant, opportunist, and corrupt person\u2019 to distract attention from the US role in supplying the military weapons to kill people in Gaza and the West Bank which is essentially designed to provoke a response from Hezbollah in Lebanon. Why? By using the corporate media to keep talking about Hamas and Hezbollah as puppets of Iran, the intention is to use any military response from Hezbollah to \u2018justify\u2019 a \u2018move not only against Lebanon, but all the way via Syria, Iraq, to Iran\u2019 with the aim of controlling Middle Eastern oil. This would make it possible \u2018to cut off oil and gas and to sanction any country that tries to go multipolar, any country that tries to resist US unipolar control.\u2019 In essence, Hudson summarizes, \u2018Basically, there\u2019s a fight for who is going to control the world right now\u2019. Watch \u2018Why Does the US Support Israel?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Many analysts have discussed the possibility of a wider war with Hasan Illaik arguing that \u2018Both in practice, and publicly, the US government and military are running this Israeli war\u2019 with the intention of fueling a wider one. See \u2018The US is fueling, not avoiding, a regional war\u2019<\/a>. Huseyin Vodinali considers the possible role of countries like Yemen and Turkey as the war expands and argues that \u2018China and Russia support Palestine and declare that they will stand by Syria and Iran.\u2019 See \u2018\u201cA Big Event is Coming, its Name is a Regional War\u201d? The Danger Waiting for Turkiye\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In contrast, however, Scott Ritter cogently argues that the US and Israel combined do not have the logistical capacity to successfully fight and defeat Iran. See \u2018US Not Ready for War With Iran\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Military and geopolitical analyst Andrei Martyanov agrees. In a wide-ranging interview in which he referred to the two US aircraft carriers now in the region as \u2018sitting ducks\u2019, he offered an outline of Iran\u2019s sophisticated air-defense systems and its ballistic missile capabilities (which could easily knock out all US bases in the Middle East, the carrier battle groups now in the region and leave \u2018Tel Aviv and Jerusalem… burning\u2019) as just two of the problems confronting the US and Israel in any consideration of an attack on Iran. Beyond these problems and among others, he mentioned that the mythology attached to the Israeli military was largely propaganda from 1967 and 1973 and did not apply now. He described the Israeli army as a \u2018very well equipped police force\u2019 and also briefly discussed the debilitating decline in US military production and noted that \u2018the decline and degradation of the American political class is astonishing\u2019. Watch \u2018The US and Israel cannot defeat Iran\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And what about nuclear weapons, which neither Ritter nor Martyanov considered in the cited sources? While the US and Russia might be reluctant to use nuclear weapons, Col. Douglas Macgregor (ret.) argues that Israel cannot be relied upon in the same way. Watch \u2018Israel A \u201cNuclear Wildcard\u201d On \u201cDangerous Road To Armageddon\u201d\u2019<\/a>. Former CIA agent, Philip Giraldi agrees. See \u2018The Gaza Genocide Continues: Israel is an unrestrained monster that endangers all of us\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In contrast, and despite the use of a nuclear weapon on Gaza being advocated by Israeli government Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, Timothy Alexander Guzman argues that \u2018There is no doubt that Russia and other world powers including China would not allow Israel to hit Iran with a nuclear bomb. If Israel decided to use a nuclear weapon anywhere in the Middle East, it would unite all Muslims against Israel\u2019 and that is something for which Tel Aviv and Washington are not prepared. See \u2018\u201cDrop a Nuclear Bomb on Gaza\u201d: Israeli Minister Says Using Nukes on Gaza an Option\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In essence, while there are sound political and military reasons for both Israel and the US to avoid the use of nuclear weapons, given the insanity of some key figures in this conflict, it is difficult to assert anything with certainty in this regard.<\/p>\n

Moreover, irrespective of the many factors that might be considered in relation to the \u2018wider war\u2019 issue, it should be noted that there are plenty of \u2018minor\u2019 military clashes already taking place throughout the Middle East. As reported by the highly reputable \u2018South Front\u2019<\/a>, and confirmed by the Telegram channel \u2018War Monitor\u2019<\/a>, ongoing military engagements are being reported taking place involving Hezbollah (for example, targeting Israeli army positions on the Lebanese-Palestinian border), Syria (for example, using air defences to confront Israeli targets in the vicinity of Damascus), Yemen (for example, with the Houthis reporting the targeting of sensitive sites in Israel\u2019s Eliat area on the Gulf of Aquaba) and the US Pentagon (reporting engagement by pro-Iranian groups in both Syria and Iraq).<\/p>\n

These reports are also confirmed in the article by Professor Adham Saouli who suggests that, like the US, \u2018Hezbollah is using the time to set the stage for a regional war should that become necessary.\u2019 See \u2018Hezbollah and the 2023 Israeli War on Gaza\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before proceeding however, there is one more critical issue to consider, nothwithstanding what has been written above.<\/p>\n

What is the prospect of the US orchestrating a false flag attack \u2013 perhaps on a US vessel in one of its two carrrier strike groups in the region \u2013 to \u2018justify\u2019 an attack on Iran? With the USS Gerald R. Ford<\/em> and escort vessels stationed in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower<\/em> and escorts currently operating in the Gulf of Oman off the Arabian Peninsula \u2013 see \u2018Aircraft Carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Now in Gulf of Oman\u2019<\/a> \u2013 such an attack could ignite a regional war (and easily expand beyond the Middle East).<\/p>\n

How might this be done?<\/p>\n

Most simply by directing Israel to launch a missile (from land, sea or air) at the designated target and then deluging the corporate media with the claim that it was Iran that launched the missile.<\/p>\n

Under cover of the initial confusion, it would be simple enough to initiate military action against Iran (and, possibly, certain allies) by Israeli and US forces to \u2018respond\u2019 to this attack and any debate about the source of the attack would be relegated to the backburner while the war quickly inflamed and national populations were manipulated to \u2018rally around the flag\u2019.<\/p>\n

You might ask, of course, why would this be done? Why start a war where there is none?<\/p>\n

The answer is the same as it has been throughout history. If you like, you can read brief accounts of 42 false flag attacks in the past century. See \u201842 ADMITTED False Flag Attacks\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wars enable Elites to consolidate and expand their power, and make vast profits. Every weapon fired represents profit; every weapon, building and other asset destroyed represents profit (for example, in subsequent rebuilding); every country subjugated represents profit in the form of control of its resources (strategic minerals, fossil fuels, fresh water, cultural heritage…); every person killed represents progress in the Elite depopulation program; and every war presents opportunities for tightening Elite control (particularly while submissively frightened populations tolerate government actions supposedly to enhance \u2018national security\u2019 but really to enslave us in one of the Elite\u2019s increasingly technocratic prisons<\/span> cities).<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered why governments are never really interested in avoiding or even winning wars (despite rhetoric to the contrary)?<\/p>\n

The Elite most effectively consolidates its power and maximizes its profit by ensuring perpetual war. And it simply ensures that its agents in government make this happen.<\/p>\n

In this scheme of things, you are the victim in every sense of the word: You vote in elections believing you are living in a \u2018democracy\u2019, you pay the taxes to buy the weapons, you join the military to fight (believing you are defending \u2018your country\u2019), you are the soldier or civilian who is killed (not a member of the Elite profiting from your killing\/dying), and you do the suffering when someone you love dies.<\/p>\n

War is one of the Elite\u2019s most profitable enterprises and control of everything from the human \u2018socialization\u2019 (that is, terrorization) process and \u2018education\u2019 systems to the messaging of the corporate media and \u2018entertainment\u2019 industry means that you learn that violence is not only \u2018necessary\u2019 but really the \u2018only\u2019 effective way to deal with international conflict.<\/p>\n

You are always the victim.<\/p>\n

World War III?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Separately from the nuclear threat and whether or not there is a false flag attack to precipitate a wider war, there is some expert opinion that the war could expand into World War III, although Guzman draws attention to another US problem: It\u2019s \u2018$33 trillion… debt with a US dollar reserve currency that is not so popular as before\u2019. See \u2018The Powder Keg in the Middle East has Exploded: What Israel\u2019s War on Gaza Means for the Rest of the World\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Large Scale U.S. Military Buildup in the Middle East: Is America Preparing to Launch World War III?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

In any case, the conflict is attracting meaningful attention from well beyond the region with statements, for example, from key Russian leaders including President Vladimir Putin expressing solidarity with the people of Palestine. See \u2018Vladimir Putin held a meeting with members of the Security Council and Government, and the heads of security agencies\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Russia\u2019s public pivot to Palestine\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So far, however, Putin has shown himself to be adept at avoiding direct military confrontation with the USA over the war in Ukraine and, from a nation-state perspective, the latter clearly lacks the capacity to engage Russia directly for the reasons Martyanov gave in relation to the USA and Iran.<\/p>\n

But to elaborate my point above: There are plenty of powerful vested interests with a stake in this conflict and a lot of insane individuals involved too which means that there are enormous pressures pushing for a wider regional war. However, if the war expands beyond Israel and Palestine, there is no guarantee it will remain contained within the region either.<\/p>\n

And, as explained just above, it doesn\u2019t matter what countries are involved or how many are killed. The Elite will carefully consider its options with the inclination to expand its power and increase its profits at every opportunity.<\/p>\n

The Rothschilds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before departing this immensely complex subject, about which a great deal has been written, there is another dimension to this conflict that is invariably ignored. And that dimension concerns the role of the Rothschild family.<\/p>\n

Why highlight the Rothschild family? Consider the following.<\/p>\n

As noted by Richard S. Dunn in his historical overview of events leading to the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine \u2013 see \u2018Israel Should Know: \u201cWhat Thou Sowest, Thou Shall Also Reap\u201d\u2019<\/a> \u2013 the letter advising the Jews of the British government intention was sent to Lionel Rothschild.<\/p>\n

According to the official Rothschild Archive:<\/p>\n

On November 2, 1917, the British Government expressed its sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations and announced that it would use its \u201cbest endeavours\u201d to facilitate \u201cthe establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people\u201d. The announcement came in a letter from Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lionel Walter, 2nd Lord Rothschild (1868-1937), the unofficial leader of the British Jewish community. The Balfour agreement became the diplomatic foundation stone of the state of Israel\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Balfour Declaration used deliberately vague language. The term \u201cnational home\u201d was chosen in order to minimize the Zionist dream, to make Palestine a Jewish state. The Arabs, whose \u201ccivil and religious\u201d (not national and political) rights were not to be prejudiced as the declaration put it, were referred to only as \u201cexisting non-Jewish communities\u201d.<\/em> You can read the letter and the Rothschild commentary on it here: \u2018Walter Rothschild and the Balfour Declaration\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Rothschild commentary on this development includes these words: \u2018Beginning in 1916, the British hoped that in exchange for their support of Zionism, \u201cthe Jews\u201d would help to finance the growing expenses of the First World War, which was becoming increasingly burdensome. More importantly, policy-makers in the Foreign Office believed that Jews could be prevailed upon to persuade the United States to join the War.\u2019<\/p>\n

Since the founding of the state of Israel in 1948 (at the expense of the indigenous Palestinians), in which they played such a critical role, the Rothschilds have continued to exercise their enormous political and economic clout to both build the state of Israel and \u2018defend\u2019 Israel, including by mobilizing the military and financial support for it from the United States. While some of this support is publicly known (such as that of James de Rothschild in financing the building of the Knesset in Israel), as with the bulk of Rothschild affairs (including in the US), most of this support is concealed behind a myriad of Rothschild-controlled corporations, front groups and \u2018third parties\u2019, many with significant public profiles.<\/p>\n

And this explains why supposedly scholarly books such as Jews in American Politics<\/em><\/a> do not reference the Rothschilds even once while Benjamin Ginsberg, one of the authors, readily acknowledges that \u2018the greatest triumph of American Jewish organizations during the postwar period [was] recognition of the state of Israel. Despite the opposition of large segments of the British government and the U.S. State and Defense departments, American Jewish groups succeeded in securing President Truman\u2019s support for the creation of a Jewish state to house Jewish refugees from Europe. Over the ensuing decades, American Jews successfully urged the U.S. government to provide Israel with billions of dollars in American military and economic assistance. In recent years, Jewish groups have fought not only for aid for Israel but for American humanitarian intervention in other regions of the world as well.\u2019<\/p>\n

While not discounting the roles of other prominent individuals and families, it is nevertheless the case that the long-standing Rothschild practice of obscuring their role has ensured that much of what it does is concealed. This is why, for example, few people know that the Rothschilds control the US Federal Reserve and own substantial holdings (again, often through tightly-controlled \u2018third parties\u2019) in the global (including US) weapons industry. So while Molly Gott and Derek Seidman offer a fine report on \u2018Corporate Enablers of Israel\u2019s War on Gaza\u2019<\/a> and even name some prominent individual donors to pro-Israeli lobby groups, rarely do studies of this nature expose the human individuals who ultimately<\/em> own the weapons corporations.<\/p>\n

And yet, as official Rothschild biographer Oxford scholar Niall Ferguson candidly noted \u2018If late-nineteenth-century imperialism had its \u201cmilitary-industrial complex\u201d the Rothschilds were unquestionably part of it.\u2019 See The House of Rothschild: Volume 2: The World\u2019s Banker: 1849-1998: Volume 2: The World’s Banker: 1849-1999<\/em><\/a> p. 579.<\/p>\n

But now with a significantly expanded range of ways of obscuring the family investments, such as through the private but major asset management corporation Vanguard, the Rothschilds will benefit handsomely from President Biden\u2019s recent announcement of a \u2018giant\u2019 weapons package to Israel \u2013 see \u2018Biden asks Congress for Israel, Ukraine aid in giant defense package\u2019<\/a> \u2013 with most of the money going to US weapons corporations in which the Rothschilds have substantial investments. Profiting from war (and military conflict generally) is the second oldest trick (after profiting from money) in the Rothschild money-making machine. See Historical Analysis of the Global Elite: Ransacking the World Economy Until \u2018You\u2019ll Own Nothing.\u2019<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

And there is a third old trick too: ownership of massive resource corporations, starting with oil and gas.<\/p>\n

Thus, yet another part of the long-standing plan behind the current genocide is undoubtedly to enable Israeli seizure of the gigantic Leviathan maritime natural gas reserves in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Gaza. See \u2018\u201cWiping Gaza Off The Map\u201d: Big Money Agenda. Confiscating Palestine\u2019s Maritime Natural Gas Reserves\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Felicity Arbuthnot, in the 2013 article just cited, nominated the interest of the BG Group in Gaza\u2019s gas and oil reserves, in early 2016, the BG Group became part of Shell Global. See \u2018<\/a>Combining Shell and BG: a simpler and more profitable company\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, Shell has been a Rothschild corporation since the very early 20th<\/sup> century. According to the Rothschild Archive: \u2018As it turned out, Rothschilds had a decisive influence in shaping Royal Dutch Shell, more so than anyone had previously imagined.\u2019 See \u2018Searching for oil in Roubaix\u2019<\/a>. But Shell does not represent the only Rothschild investment in energy supplies.<\/p>\n

Another motivation for Rothschild involvement concerns a long-standing interest of the family\u2019s. Following a brief discussion with British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli on 14 November 1875, Lionel Rothschild agreed to finance the British Government\u2019s purchase of 177,000 shares in \u2018one of the world\u2019s great commercial and strategic assets\u2019, the Suez Canal Company, from Egypt\u2019s debt-ridden Khedive for \u00a34,000,000 at 3% interest. See The Rothschilds: A Family Portrait<\/em><\/a> pp. 150-152. This gave the British government a majority holding in the waterway that enabled commercial and military shipping to bypass the Cape of Good Hope in traveling from Europe to Asia and Oceania.<\/p>\n

In 1882 the UK invaded and occupied Egypt, taking control of the country as well as the Suez canal which then became a geopolitical weapon during subsequent wars. It also later became critical for the transport of oil from the Middle East to Europe (and elsewhere).<\/p>\n

During and following World War II, Britain maintained a vast military complex at Suez with a garrison of some 80,000 soldiers.<\/p>\n

But following a military coup that removed the Egyptian monarchy in 1952 and in the context of a geopolitical world in considerable turmoil on various levels (including the decolonization process, the Cold War, and the Arab-Israeli conflict), ownership of the Suez Canal became increasingly contentious. Thus, on 26 July 1956, the Suez Canal Company was nationalized by Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser. This led to the Suez Crisis in October when Israel and, subsequently, the UK and France invaded Egypt and Gaza in an attempt to remove President Nasser and restore western control. Pressure from the United States and the UN led to withdrawal of the invaders.<\/p>\n

Today, the Suez Canal earns Egypt $US9.4billion each year. See \u2018Suez Canal records historic high as revenues reach $9.4B\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what if there was a second canal through Israel?<\/p>\n

In fact, in 1963 there was a plan to investigate the creation of another canal, this one known to Israelis as the Ben Gurion Canal. The plan was to use 520 nuclear weapons to blast a new canal from the Gulf of Aquaba to the Mediterranean Sea, exiting adjacent to Gaza. See \u2018Use of Nuclear Explosives for Excavation of Sea-Level Canal Across the Negev Desert\u2019<\/a>, \u2018The US had a plan in the 1960s to blast an alternative Suez Canal through Israel using 520 nuclear bombs\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Israel Destroys Gaza to Control World\u2019s Most Important Shipping Lane\u2019<\/a> and \u2018<\/a>A<\/a>n alternative to the Suez Canal is central to Israel\u2019s genocide of the Palestinians\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The plan was eventually shelved, presumably at least in part because the fallout from the nuclear explosions would have made the environmental cost of the project prohibitive. But what if such a plan was now feasible and the shortest route went through Gaza?<\/p>\n

Is there a more \u2018acceptable\u2019 (that is, non-nuclear) weapon that could be deployed to create the canal now?<\/p>\n

The obvious domain to look for possible answers is the expanding range of geoengineering weapons.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

After many years spent researching geoengineering weapons, in a 1996 article, Dr. Rosalie Bertell summarized 50 years of destructive programs targeting control of the upper atmosphere. She concluded the article with the following words: \u2018The ability of the HAARP\/Spacelab\/rocket combination to deliver very large amounts of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle<\/p>\n

beams, is frightening.\u2019 See \u2018Background on the HAARP Project\u2019<\/a> but you can read much more in Dr. Bertell\u2019s book Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

So if one considers the range of geoengineering weapons that might be used in this context, one possibility would be to use HAARP: the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. HAARP is currently \u2018the most important facility used to generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation in the ionosphere. In order to produce this ELF radiation the HAARP transmitter radiates a strong beam of highfrequency (HF) waves modulated at ELF…. high-power ELF radiation generated by HF ionospheric heaters, such as the current HAARP heater, can cause Earthquakes, Cyclones and strong localized heating.\u2019 See \u2018High-power ELF radiation generated by modulated HF heating of the ionosphere can cause Earthquakes, Cyclones and localized heating\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If this weapon could be used, it would need to be calibrated to perform the massive task of excavating the canal (or at least pulverizing the materials that need to be excavated into a readily removable form).<\/p>\n

Another possibility would be what are called \u2018Rods from God\u2019 (Kinetic Orbital Bombardment). See \u2018Aerospace Historical Engineering Analysis: Project Thor<\/a> \u2013 <\/a>When the U.S. tried to turn Telephone Poles into Weapons of Mass Destruction\u2019<\/a> and \u2018\u201cRods from God\u201d not that destructive, Chinese study finds\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These weapons were used to create the earthquake in Turkey in February 2023. See \u2018Serdar Hussein Yildirim statement re Turkish earthquak<\/a>e\u2019<\/a> with an English transcript of Serdar Hussein\u2019s statement here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, as in the case in relation to the HAARP ELF radiation option, if this weapon was to be used to construct another canal, it would need to be calibrated to be less destructive than those used in Turkey.<\/p>\n

But whatever technological challenges might remain in choosing the geoengineering weapon(s) and deploying it\/them effectively, the financial rewards of having a second canal would be vast. And given existing Rothschild financial interests in infrastructure \u2013 \u2018Over the last 200 years the Rothschilds have systematically gained control of much of the infrastructure of the modern industrial world.\u2019 See Enemies of the People: The Rothschilds and their corrupt global empire<\/em><\/a> p. 23. \u2013 and geoengineering \u2013 see \u2018The Rothschilds and the Geoengineering Empire\u2019<\/a> \u2013 it is reasonable to postulate their interest in financing such a project and profiting from it indefinitely into the future.<\/p>\n

Beyond its profound control of money, weapons, energy and infrastructure (not to mention other sectors), the Rothschilds own a substantial proportion of the corporate media, again both directly and through agents. For example, by the late C19th<\/sup> their Paribas Bank \u2018controlled the all-powerful news agency Havas, which in turn owned the most important advertising agency in France.\u2019 See Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War<\/em><\/a> p. 214.<\/p>\n

But Rothschild interests in the corporate media extend far beyond France. If you would like to read more about the extensive Rothschild ownership and control of the media, Paul Cudenec offers more examples in his thoughtful and wide-ranging overview of the family\u2019s extraordinary violence and exploitation in Enemies of the People: The Rothschilds and their corrupt global empire<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their extensive media ownership means that the Rothschilds have significant control of the primary narrative<\/strong> presented in worldwide \u2018news\u2019 outlets, including in relation to Israel: the \u2018victim\u2019 Israel must always \u2018defend\u2019 itself. So that even when some accurate and graphic media get through some corporate social media channels (Facebook, X, Youtube…) or some events not sponsored by the Elite, such as the current wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations around the world, are reported in the corporate media \u2013 see \u2018Around the world, people take to the streets for Palestine\u2019<\/a> and \u2018More Demonstrations for Palestine\u2019<\/a> \u2013 it doesn\u2019t mean anything. Even footage of demonstrations that are protesting the genocide in Gaza can be blandly presented as demonstrations \u2018calling for a ceasefire\u2019 or something equally effective at distracting people from the truth. And even if they do not, demonstrations are routinely ignored. History records the futility of such protest demonstrations even when they garner some attention for a secondary narrative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The reason for this is simple. Demonstrations as well as any number of randomly advocated \u2018actions\u2019 \u2013 such as those nominated in lists such as these: \u2018What You Can Do\u2019<\/a>, \u2018<\/a>Defund Israeli Genocide & Colonialism \u2013 8 Tips for Getting Involved\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Calendar of Resistance for Palestine! Events and actions around the world\u2019<\/a> \u2013 mean nothing in a strategic sense. Why?<\/p>\n

Because for any particular tactic (action) to have strategic value, it must be derived from a strategy that has been designed to alter the power relationship between the actual perpetrator and their victim. If there is no comprehensive strategy to guide tactical choice, or if the tactic is chosen to achieve a political objective rather than a strategic goal \u2013 see \u2018The Political Objective and Strategic Goal of Nonviolent Actions\u2019<\/a> \u2013 it is not possible for the tactic to achieve a strategic gain (although it might allow those doing the action to let off a little emotional steam and feel good about themselves).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, demonstrations and many other \u2018actions\u2019 are routinely endorsed by those who have never considered the importance of using strategic guidance to determine tactical choice (and ensuring this does not happen is also an excellent way of subverting the resistance). See \u2018The Elite Coup to Kill or Enslave Us: Why Can\u2019t Governments, Legal Actions and Protests Stop Them?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

But to return to the theme above, if you believe that the Rothschilds do not leverage their ownership and control of such vast assets (in money, weapons, energy, infrastructure and media to name just a few key sectors) to achieve outcomes in the perceived interest of the family, including by manipulation of political leaders, you can read relevant Rothschild history \u2013 and even the official biography written by Niall Ferguson cited above \u2013 which documents a rather endless list of \u2018gifts\u2019 (that is, bribes) to a range of monarchs, including the British Crown, and political leaders.<\/p>\n

Moreover, while many people are a little squeamish in response to the profoundly distasteful images of Palestinian children mangled by Israeli-fired weapons, the Rothschilds had turned their backs on such suffering more than 200 years ago. You cannot profit by financing both sides of wars for more than 200 years and have any sense of human compassion. From the Rothschild perspective and compared to other mass slaughters from which they have profited enormously, such as World Wars I and II, the genocide in Gaza is inconsequential.<\/p>\n

Hence, if we are to understand the current Israeli genocidal campaign against the Palestinians in Gaza, it is necessary to understand the foundations of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the background role that the Rothschilds continue to play. Using a longstanding network of allies and agents, which includes corrupt (that is, \u2018bought\u2019) politicians in Israel and the United States as well as such networks as the \u2018The Israel Lobby\u2019<\/a> in the USA, it is not difficult to shape the words that come out of the mouths of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Biden as well as the military actions that follow.<\/p>\n

Which is why it also matters nought that Netanyahu and Biden are registering their highest unpopularity ratings with their respective electorates at the moment. See \u2018Shock at Attack, Fury at Failure: How Netanyahu\u2019s Approval Ratings Have Hit Rock Bottom in Israel\u2019<\/a> and \u2018How un\/popular is Joe Biden?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

They do not answer to their electorates and Netanyahu and Biden are well aware of that. As long as they serve their masters faithfully, their roles are secure (however they unfold), even despite their extensively-documented corruption as well. See \u2018Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s corruption scandals, explained\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Joe Biden \u2013 Corrupt\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, Rothschild allies and agents ensure that these two individuals are surrounded and supported by a wide coterie of equally corrupt and politically unaccountable agents ranging from a wide spectrum of other national political leaders, to members of the US Congress and Israeli Knesset.<\/p>\n

These allies and agents also ensure that those who are openly critical of Israeli apartheid and genocide are subjected to sufficient backlash so that many, and more of those who witness the treatment, are cowed into silence. As Sam Adler-Bell points out: \u2018For decades, it has been the explicit mission of pro-Israel groups to disallow certain kinds of speech, conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.\u2019 But this is just the start of a wide range of censure options used against those who support the liberation of Palestine. See \u2018War of the Statements: The unusual way Americans have processed the Israel-Hamas War\u2019<\/a>, \u2018The Free Speech Exception: Support for Palestinian rights is facing a McCarthyite backlash\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Lawless in Gaza: Why Britain and the West back Israel\u2019s crimes\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also explains why statements by powerless actors ranging from the UN Secretary-General \u2013 see \u2018UN chief says \u201cclear violations of international humanitarian law\u201d in Gaza\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Secretary-General\u2019s statement – on the situation in Gaza\u2019<\/a> \u2013 and some UN agency heads \u2013 see \u2018\u201cEnough is enough. This must stop now,\u201d UN agency chiefs say in joint statement urging Gaza ceasefire\u2019<\/a> as well as some US diplomats \u2013 see \u2018U.S. diplomats slam Israel policy in leaked memo\u2019<\/a> \u2013 are a waste of time although they achieve their purpose by deceiving some people into believing that \u2018key\u2019 people are concerned and something might happen. It won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

In fact, issuing statements is an industry in itself and highlights the powerlessness of a staggering array of actors, some of whom might be more meaningfully engaged in the struggle to liberate Palestine were they given strategically impactful actions to take. See \u2018War of the Statements: The unusual way Americans have processed the Israel-Hamas War\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But to return to the main point, as Emanuel Pastreich characterizes this connection, \u2018The billionaires made Israel and the United States their toys, using the armies, the economies, and the technologies of these two countries to advance their plans for world domination.\u2019 See \u2018The Forbidden Truth: Israel and the U.S. Are \u201cToys of the Billionaires\u201d. \u201cA War with Iran Is Just Around the Corner\u201d.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Consequently, and despite possible initiatives by third parties, a critical variable that cannot be ignored is that containing the insane Global Elite that is driving these wars and genocides as well as the overall descent into technocracy is extraordinarily difficult. See \u2018The Global Elite is Insane Revisited\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it means that their wars, genocides and the ongoing imposition of their technocracy won\u2019t be stopped by statements, petitions, lobbying politicians, protests or legal challenges although Elite-controlled media will talk about these as part of their strategy to ensure our dissent is absorbed and dissipated.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thus, as is happening behind the scenes of mass slaughter of ordinary (mainly Ukrainian but also Russian) soldiers in Ukraine, where the creation of all of the infrastructure necessary to impose the Global Elite\u2019s technocracy on both populations proceeds apace with Presidents Putin and Zelensky fully complicit \u2013 again, see \u2018The War in Ukraine: Understanding and Resisting the Global Elite\u2019s Deeper Agenda\u2019<\/a> \u2013 there is little doubt that the heavily technocratized Israel at the behest of the United States and (intentional or otherwise) complicity of Hamas, is simply killing Palestinians in Gaza (and the West Bank) while displacing as many as possible. This is being done to precipitate responses from other countries that will enable the United States to \u2018justify\u2019 pursuit of a range of geopolitical goals \u2013 inevitably involving more killing \u2013 on behalf of its Elite masters, while facilitating the more elaborate imposition of the necessary \u2018smart city\u2019 technologies on whatever population lives in Gaza when the genocide is concluded and the inevitable technocratic<\/em> rebuilding commences.<\/p>\n

My point is unpalatable but simple: The Global Elite is in the process of implementing its long-planned and complex program to kill off vast numbers of people and imprison those left alive as transhuman slaves in their technocratic cities. So while there is value in considering events from various perspectives, it is important that sight is not lost of this fundamental Elite program and the insight that this perspective offers.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Elite\u2019s \u2018kill or enslave\u2019 program is being implemented everywhere, not just in war zones and zones of obvious genocide. And all governments are complicit, not just the US and Israeli governments and the Palestinian leadership.<\/p>\n

So whatever position we might take on any given war, genocide or other violent conflict, we also need to understand and resist the fundamental Elite program \u2013 see below \u2013 if we are to successfully defend ourselves and those we love, from both its genocidal programs and rapidly advancing technocracy.<\/p>\n

In addition, as always, if we want to end war as an instrument of Elite policy, we must strategically campaign to do so. See \u2018Strategic Goals for Ending Wa<\/a>r\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if national populations such as the Palestinians wish to defend themselves from genocidal attacks, rather than simply lobby for the beneficial intervention of third parties, they must use an appropriate strategic response (modified from this template). See \u2018Strategic Goals for Defeating a Genocidal Assault\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, it they wish to liberate themselves from occupation, they must bypass the corrupt Palestinian leadership in both the West Bank and Gaza and mobilize \u2018ordinary\u2019 Palestinians and international solidarity activists to campaign strategically to do so, as I have been explaining since the early 1990s. See \u2018<\/a>Nonviolent Defense\/Liberation Strategy\u2019<\/a> or, for the fullest elaboration, The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense: A Gandhian Approach<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This means they must do far more than encourage involvement in just a few tactics as advocated by the B<\/a>oycott <\/a>D<\/a>ivestment <\/a>S<\/a>anctions Movement<\/a>. Of course, these tactics could usefully form part of a comprehensive strategy.<\/p>\n

In any case, a start on this comprehensive strategy \u2013 both to end the genocide and end the occupation \u2013 is just starting to happen with trade unionists in Palestine calling for solidarity action from fellow unionists worldwide. See \u2018Palestinian Trade Unions Call for an End to Arming Israel\u2019<\/a>. And this is getting some traction as unions start to respond. See \u2018Unions Worldwide Boycott Arms Supplies to Israel\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, there are a great many social groups (within Palestine, in Israel and in third-party countries) \u2013 identified on the \u2018Strategic Goals\u2019 <\/a>page<\/a> \u2013 who can be mobilized to take action, as well as a large number of nonviolent acts of noncooperation and intervention \u2013 listed in \u2018198 Tactics of Nonviolent Action\u2019<\/a> \u2013 from which the appropriate combination of tactics can be strategically chosen as explained in \u2018Strategic Considerations in the Selection and Implementation of Nonviolent Tactics\u2019<\/a>. By following this process, concerned people anywhere can take solidarity action with Palestine (not just protest) to end the genocide in the short term and the occupation in the medium term.<\/p>\n

The reality is simple: Unless Palestinians commit to developing and implementing a comprehensive nonviolent strategy of liberation, Palestine will continue to be the victim of forces beyond its control at the cost of an enormous number of lives, whatever optimism some might feel at the outpouring of popular support being exhibited by those attending Palestinian solidarity demonstrations around the world at the moment.<\/p>\n

Strategy is determinative; not numbers.<\/p>\n

Resisting the Elite\u2019s Technocracy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond the defense of Palestine, if you are committed to being strategic in your resistance to the Elite\u2019s ongoing imposition of its genocidal and technocratic programs on us all, you are welcome to participate in the \u2018We Are Human, We Are Free\u2019<\/a> campaign which identifies a list of 30 strategic goals for doing so.<\/p>\n

More simply, and as a minimum, you can download the \u2018We Are Human, We Are Free\u2019 one-page flyer that identifies a short series of crucial nonviolent actions that anyone can take. This flyer, now available in 23 languages (Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Slovak and Turkish) with more languages in the pipeline, can be downloaded from here: \u2018One-page Flyer\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You are also welcome to consider sharing the article \u2018Policing the Elite\u2019s Technocracy: How Do We Resist This Effectively?\u2019<\/a> with your local police. Resistance by police will be vital to the success of our resistance efforts.<\/p>\n

And you might also consider organizing or participating in a local strategy to halt the deployment of 5G, given its crucial role in making the Elite\u2019s \u2018smart city\u2019 technocratic prisons function. See \u2018Halting the Deployment of 5G\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you like, you can also watch, share and\/or organize to show, a short video about the campaign here: \u2018We Are Human, We Are Free\u2019 video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, if this strategic resistance<\/em><\/strong> to the \u2018Great Reset\u2019 (and related agendas) appeals to you, consider joining the \u2018We Are Human, We Are Free\u2019<\/a> Telegram or Signal groups (with advice on accessing the necessary links on the website).<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world system is a system of power. And it is extraordinarily violent. See \u2018<\/a>Why Violence?<\/a>\u2019<\/a> and \u2018<\/a>Fearless Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice<\/a>\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This world system is controlled by a small group of extremely wealthy and powerful families that had established their supremacy in world affairs by the late 19th<\/sup> century. See Historical Analysis of the Global Elite: Ransacking the World Economy Until \u2018You\u2019ll Own Nothing.\u2019<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Thus, what happens now in a particular global, regional, national or even local context has been fundamentally shaped by detailed Elite plans that have been ongoingly formulated and refined, as well as progressively implemented over the past 5,000 years. And we have long ago past the point in which a local population confronts a local Elite in what might once have been a local fight.<\/p>\n

Consequently, what happens in this world system is an outcome of power. Laws and legal systems, human rights and human needs count for nothing in this world, unless they do not impact power relationships. Whatever laws exist are breached when it is convenient for powerful actors to do so. And no-one holds those responsible for such breaches accountable. Do you really think that anyone in Israel, or the Rothschild family and its agents, will be held accountable for the genocidal atrocities inflicted on Gaza?<\/p>\n

However, just because the Elite and its agents are extraordinarily powerful, operate beyond the rule of law and have no conception of morality, it does not mean that they cannot be stopped. But if we are to stop them in any context, we must work together both strategically and in sufficient numbers. Turning up at a demonstration or doing any one or more of a million things when it suits us will not stop them.<\/p>\n

Thus, if we are to resolve any conflict, including those that involve military violence, several things are necessary.<\/p>\n

Primarily, the conflict configuration must be analyzed very carefully so that it is fully understood. This includes an understanding of who, most fundamentally, is driving the conflict, why (and for what purposes and benefits) and how they are doing so. This is essential and in sharp contrast to just assuming the conflict is how it is routinely presented or even how it superficially appears.<\/p>\n

We must then design a strategy that, if implemented, will succeed in achieving our desired outcome. And, finally, we must mobilize sufficient people to participate in implementing this strategy.<\/p>\n

For example, in the current context, it is easy to perceive that people like Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari and Bill Gates are benefiting from the World Economic Forum push to impose a technocracy on us all, but they are just the front men, positioned to act on behalf of far more powerful global actors.<\/p>\n

And it is easy to identify that Benjamin Netanyahu is benefiting from the violence in Palestine but this is utterly superficial. Like any politician he is the lackey of more powerful global actors who offer him trinkets (but of value to him) to do their bidding.<\/p>\n

So we have a choice. Whether as a global population or a local one, we can continue to be the victims while we attribute blame to the puppets (political leaders and a vast range of organizations) put in place to perform on behalf of others.<\/p>\n

Or, as I have tried to do in this article, we can do the work to understand how the world works, who really exercises power, the means they are using to exercise it, and then mobilize enough people to participate in carefully-designed nonviolent strategies to stop them.<\/p>\n
