  1. Taliban; why be a 4th class Americanized citizen of the world when you can be a 1st class warlord in your own land.

  2. The public is the "power", always has been, a power the people more often than not intentionally hand over to others.

  3. 2:56 "Genocide"??? Even the ICC didn't charge genocide. The population of Gaza has increased in the last year based on the UN's own stats, with 165,000 pregnant women in Gaza as of August 2024. Assad killed 40,000 in one day, over 600,000 in the civil war, add in Saudi/Yemen conflict and you reach well over 1 million. There are 1.9 million Arab citizens of Israel, 20% of the population. In the West we've learned about the deception, al-Taqiyya. The Soviets had their own brand of propaganda which somehow melded into the "resistance" of those who dream of a pan-Arab region free of Jews. Even PA Leader Abbas earned his PhD equivalent in Moscow. Arafat said Solomon's Temple was a "Zionist Fantasy". No, the night ride on a donkey to Jerusalem was the fantasy. Al-Aksa is the symbol of "settler colonialism", not the Jews. I challenge you to read this: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress (primary source digitized as PDF)

  4. 1804 The US President, Thomas Jefferson, sent warships to the Mediterranean to protect our commercial ships from Muslim Terrorists being run by the Ottoman Empire. Our people were being captured and either ransomed or sold into slavery. Correct, this did not being on October 7th.

  5.  @dashdashhelp  there's never been a "proletariat", that's a Marxist fantasy, one that keeps failing, just like Christianity. Doctrine/Catechism will not bring paradise on earth. Individuals have the responsibility but yield that to others. It's biology, not sociology.
