Excellent analysis, Sam. Whether Zelensky's Oval Office antics were to some extent prearranged is open to question but there is no doubt that the whole business is a convenient distraction from Israel's continuing crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond.
I agree it is a distraction. "Great television" as I believe Trump called it.
My question is why Zelensky thinks he can act like Netanyahu. And maybe he can, because maybe the forces of organized crime backing him are more important than those backing Trump, I don't know.
But I do wish you would do a deeper dive on the history of Western Civilization. It was a real thing, despite what Ghandi and his Jewish publicists would have you believe.
In order to end Western Imperialism, we need to understand how it was able to exploit Western Civilization. The organized crime that runs The West today first had to oppress and control and loot the peoples of The West before they could take that project on the road. That is a six century long story that starts with getting people away from the protective doctrines of The Roman Catholic Church.
You will likely say that was too long ago to care about, but if you want to overturn Western Imperialism, you will need a new morality and world view to take its place. What will that be? Something new made out of whole cloth? Or the thing that did produce the highest point of civilization in the history of The West?
There is a reason there is lawfare and endless propaganda against The Catholic Church here in the US. One of the main reasons Putin is demonized in The West is for his work to restore and protect the Russian Orthodox Church. There is a reason Amy Goodman celebrates those who disrespect The Church like Femen and P*ssy Riot and demonizes Catholics like Brett Kavanaugh for having Catholic morality. And there is a reason that orthodox Christians (Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians) are an important movement on the right that is opposing Zionism and US imperialism. Ignoring this history is as confounding as ignoring the various manipulations of Islam used to take down Syria. Love or hate The West, you will be better able to analyze and influence it if you understand how it got the way it did and what avenues for change exist. I know many on the left believe that simply hating The West and demonizing it will weaken it and help protect people from US Imperialism. And if there was no global cabal working to put us all into AI 5g mediated electronic surveillance prison cells, I might concede your point. But I truly think that we are all Palestinians and the only way out of what these brutal sociopathic oligarchs have in store for us is with the accumulated spiritual wisdom of The Church which offers the best protection against corruption and falling into complicity for dark projects that The West has available to it.
And even if the above just sounds like hopium or delusion meant to justify my forebears or some such agenda, think rationally about how your way of framing divides people along the lines of West and not-West which facilitates the "Clash of Civilizations" narrative while I would argue the important line to keep clear is those who see other human beings as objects and those who see other human beings a sacred beings of equal worth in the eyes of God.
You don't have to become a Catholic to see how Catholic teaching puts sincere believers on the right side of this divide. And if you have another way of getting to the right side, that is fine too. Just don't facilitate the slander of those who are working to promote these values. People who see the universal worth of all human beings should work to respect each other, work to avoid slandering each other and work to avoid lumping in with those who do not respect the humanity of everyone on this earth. The unjadeds need to unite and stand up to the jadeds and take this world out of their hands.
Anyhow, this is how it looks to me. Thanks for considering if you did.
I do think there’s something here at first sight. And it dovetails with some of my thinking. But don’t see much to admire in Kavanagh. Think others are examples of what you indicate. Have headache. Will look back more closely again.

Yes. Sometimes it seems it’s intentional. Sometimes it’s like an evolutionary sequence. Fulfilling the dictates of different parts of the system.
Ha! Your brain is just fine, i am happy to read between the lines of this piece. Keep on mending at the pace of digesting events
