Right to travel is a fundamental right under Constitutional jurisprudence. No way this passes muster as written. Just love these critters wasting our time and money like this.
José Ortega y Gasset Quote: “Barbarism is the absence of standards to which appeal can be made.”
Barbarism taints ‘rules-based orders’ - no appeals, when to appeal goes against ‘Authority’ cloaked in the respectability of a ‘Rule’. It also taints the horror normals have to genocide (or ethnic cleansing) when genocide is OK for some but not for others. Do the Germans now get a whitewash for the holocaust of Jews and gypsies? If not, the quote applies.
"when genocide is OK for some but not for others. Do the Germans now get a whitewash ...?"
Not sure what you're saying. Sins of the fathers are visited on the children? I don't deny at all the possibility of cultures being pneumo-pathological (Voegelin), but don't accept inherited sin as such.
The swamp monsters need to get their ducks in a row, if they’re getting resistance now then imagine what will happen when tactical nukes are used in Lebanon.
Wisconsin Rep Gallagher left Congress so they couldn't elect a replacement, went to Palantir. I had never heard of Palantir. I'm still not sure what they do. Why would he go to all this effort to get elected and then leave so suddenly? It's very depressing, seems everyone in Congress is controlled and compromised. Us lowlife citizens have no influence on anything. I read alot and I still have no understanding of what is going on in the Mideast. Thanks again for all the information coming to us in this substack.
My guess is that it's all about the usual suspect: power. With a large dose of Power's younger sibling, Money, involved too. One Empire is dying and other nations and wannabe Empires are getting impatient.
You have to feel sorry for people who still get their news and views from Fox and the rest of the MSM. They are missing out on some of the greatest contributors on the planet on the alternative platforms.
- Israel knew an attack was coming, but did not expect it to be so success. The goal for the extreme Jewish Government to use the attack as an excuse for destroying Hamas and ethnic cleansing of Gaza (I disagree with the use of the word genocide). But, Hamas was a lot tougher than Israel expected.
- Hamas did not expect its attack to be so successful.
- Israel on October 7th suffered due to hubris on technology, as well as gun control.
- AIPAC has a huge impact on the U.S. government including both houses.
- Protests at colleges are a combination of Arab students, professional protesters (blm, antifa), some leftists including Jews. Many press reports have stated 50% of arrestees are off campus / non students.
- the counter protesters my guess are a bit of astroturf, and many are not organic. The fraternity often cited recently was Jewish.
- Israel and Arabs have both tried to influence universities through funding.
- Most media taking the Israeli narrative side (which has lots of lying / exaggeration), and I’m suspicious they can all of a sudden are finding funding of pro Gaza college protesters (Tides, Soros, etc), which was never done for BLM.
- Iran attack against Israel was successful at showing weakness of Israeli defense
- Houthi are showing weakness of Western Military due to changes in technology.
- Biden is trying to keep Israel Supporters and Pro Gaza sides in U.S. happy with him.
- I have no idea what is going on with Speaker Johnson, I guess the check cleared, but he is coming across as a hard core Israel supporter. I’m shocked at his actions on FISA and Ukraine funding, and the omnibus funding.
- Trump is focused on getting elected for the third time, and focusing on that and the lawfare. The Israeli/ Gaza is not a major focus of his. Keeping Johnson as speaker Trump sees as the least worst option.
- the eGOP through retirements and expulsion of Santos is trying to flip the house now to hurt Trump.
- Lawfare is being deployed against Gaza college protesters, similar to what was done to kkk.
- Colleges support some protesters, but don’t the anti Israel protesters.
- The anti Zionist is anti Semitic is being deployed,
It's a temptation we all give in to to head for outside sources to confirm or debunk an event. However, using our own critical thinking skills can tell us that Oct 7th stank. The Gaza/Israel border is one of the most closely monitored borders on Earth. There is no way that Mossad, Shin Bet and the whole Israeli surveillance apparatus could have missed this. And they were warned a month before by their own people and Egypt. You don't have to go full tinfoil hat to believe that at the very least, the Israeli deep state let this happen in order to a) save Netanyahu's backside, and b) use it as an excuse for an Armageddon like reckoning with the Palestinians.
You can start at The Gray Zone. Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, and others who are cited there have done a lot of work tracking down these false narratives and the people behind them.
Maybe the Deep State is more powerful today than back in '69 and the Vietnam Era. However, I still believe that they are handling these protests very badly. I don't think this is going to calm down. Au contraire, it has all the signs of becoming, like the Vietnam protests, a running sore that turns into a deep and debilitating wound. Just my gut feeling.
I think you are right. There are a lot of moving parts to this protest and those who are orchestrating it may have different reasons, but it all boils down to chaos. Who will benefit from this chaos? I think you know.
The Deep State wants chaos alright (Soros, anyone?) but they want the chaos to go their way. I don't think a spreading anti-genocide protest would do that. I'm sure that at least some of the backing for the protests is from the usual sources (Soros, that name keeps popping up!) but I'm sure too that there is a lot of genuine hatred against what Israel and it's proxy, the US, is doing in Gaza. That could take away a large voting block from Biden. Hence that Gestapo like overreaction. The summer will be hot in more than just climatological terms.
BTW……..you answered my question below with your recent comment above. It was well stated and quite interesting. Thanks for sharing your direct knowledge of how people are targeted and recruited and why. I wonder whose money they are throwing around at motivated graduates. There’s a lot of ways to live a life and make money and no matter how gifted or challenged you are you will encounter obstacles.
Our Senate GOPers hard at work in "protecting our freedoms"...

Great post.
And great insight about "the narrative."
The swamp monsters need to get their ducks in a row, if they’re getting resistance now then imagine what will happen when tactical nukes are used in Lebanon.

Thank YOU for that.
Mark,
I pretty much drop everything when your latest Substack article hits the email :-)
Have learned so much from you and commentators!!
Thank you for all the information, analysis and links to other great sources.
I appreciate your efforts very much
Oh, you're welcome!
Same here. I should warn you in advance, Mark, that if I ever get divorced my dear wife will probably cite you as a contributing factor! :)
And if Mark’s wife ever divorces him, she’ll cite his commenters as a contributing factor. (Only kidding)
Ha! Ha! Maybe you can join up with Mrs Mearsheimer and start a class action! :)
LOL
US Marines Smedley Butler and Dan Daly each received the Medal of Honor twice.
Where has the Oct 7th narrative been debunked. How can we know what actually happened?
Swag’s on what is going on:
- Both sides are lying.
- Israel knew an attack was coming, but did not expect it to be so success. The goal for the extreme Jewish Government to use the attack as an excuse for destroying Hamas and ethnic cleansing of Gaza (I disagree with the use of the word genocide). But, Hamas was a lot tougher than Israel expected.
- Hamas did not expect its attack to be so successful.

Define "bright". As we saw during Covid, "bright" and "super intelligent" have nothing to do with critical thinking skills or morality.
Brightest or most malleable and prone to evil and whose children are they?
