Hard to pick out of that exactly what your views are about Israel. Whether you are for or against them.

I have unwittingly supported a few Substack hosts who are anti-Zionist, and I would prefer not to continue doing do.

Is this an anti-Zionist-owned Substack? Substakers such as Harrison Koehli and John Carter of Barsoom and Josh Slocum surprised me by being on that side. I don't wish to make that mistake again.

Thanks.

Another comment -- what some call Mass Psychosis (after Mattias Demet's podcasts) is actually a manifestation of a Pathocracy, which is totalitarianism.

Mass Psychosis could best be recognized as the Germans of the 1930s/40s going collectively mad during the Third Reich. Or once-normal people in the West going collectively mad during COVID Mania. Or the Pro-Hamas mobs across urban North America. Many other examples, but these are known by most observers.

This is a madness that follows from specific preceding circumstances.

Btw.....this phenomenon of Mass Psychosis/Collective Delusion/Mob Effect/Folie à Plusieurs had been long addressed in the literature of the various fields feeding into the study of Totalitarianism. For several centuries or more.

It was new only to 2022 modern podcast audiences.

So you think its mad to try and protect oneself from this jewish onslaught? That the Germans were crazy?

Ridiculous brainwashed answer.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about the lack of agency of all of Israel’s neighbours . Whilst the greater Israel evangelists may have their plans, the rest of the world has its own . Turks , Arabs and Iranians being the overwhelming majority are just not going to lie back passively and watch a greater Israel form under their noses. Decades of constant conflict is evidence enough . But it looks

Grim today .

Indeed .

Plans will be made . Life will go on .

Dear Mr O'Brien,

Thanks for your letter which is alarmingly void of any mention of the Syrian people. You examine everyone else's agenda in detail. You completely overlook the presence of US Military in eastern Syria where they steal oil and wheat from the Syrian people.

You somehow avoid noticing that any violence and destruction which occurs since Bashar Assad departed will be caused by the foreign invaders who are all acting in defiance of UN Security Council Resolution 2254, dated Dec 18, 2015 which set out a "Road Map for Peace in Syria".

A point that Lavrov was careful to make during the conference in Doha last weekend. I provide details in my post here:

Litmus Test:

Israel led 9/11 and the Global War of Terror.

If you have not understood this yet, all your words and thought are meaningless.
