I would suggest, for example, that rather than focus on Netanyahu, who has been reduced to a Biden-like puppet these days jerked this way and that as the "bad man" who serves as a human shield to protect those running the Gaza show, that we should rather focus on Larry Elison, the multibillionaire head of Oracle who is a central figure in the prison planet show. I recommend you look at the show trial for Netanyahu at which Ellison, Adelson and others came out of the woodwork in 2019. Oracle is outsourcing the functions of all the governments of the world and Ellison has far more power than Biden and Netanyahu and Sunak put together. He is literally the pied piper leading the mice to their doom.

"Dear John,

I appreciate your thoughtful note and I want to first express to everyone my own apologies for being a bit emotional about the discussion concerning the FSK Bridge. I have decided to avoid any public statements until I understand more.

Concerning the conflict in Israel, I would only say that I do talk about the class aspects of this conflict in some writings, but not in that interview.

I think that clearly there are class issues and John does a better job than I of explaining them.

But I feel that the point we need to focus on which is ignored by the progressive media is this:

the war against Palestinians is not simply racist or imperialist. It is a dry run for what it going to be done to us in the near future.

The recent report about the use of AI in Gaza war is part of this effort. You will be tracked down by drones and robots in your shopping mall using the technology developed in the occupied territories.

Israeli Journalist Breaks Bombshell Story: AI Technology Is Directing The Bombing Spree In Gaza: Mass Production Of Human Targets Without Hindrances: "It's Called Broad Hunting" (substack.com)

Oracle, Google and Amazon, as well of a host of security firms (many of which are Israeli based but control US infrastructure, prisons, power plants and the data for local police) control what was once government.

The iron triangle of London, New York/Washington/Tel Aviv is leading this push for the destruction of human society.

I highly recommend the books

The Palestine Laboratory by Anthony Loewenstein

and World of Walls by Said Saddiki

I cannot write about everything, but I feel it is at least as great a betrayal for the left to say that Gaza is about suppression of the Palestinian people and leave out the global prison planet agenda to implement these technologies around the world for social control, and then destruction of populations, as it is to leave out the class element in analysis.

I think there is a difference in what we say, however, regarding Hamas. I do not accept any of the story of the Hamas attack and I do not trust any information about what is going on--including that from Iran. But it is highly likely that there was no Hamas attack at all and that the figures for the number killed was made up. Some people were killed,but we do not know much.

Gaza is ultimately about implementing the next stage of the war against us. It reminds me of Ghost Busters. Remember when the ancient God asks the Ghost Busters to "choose your destroyer?" We have chosen our destroyer after COVID 19 and it is global war driven by unaccountable AI put in place by private equity for profit. There were other scenarios possible, but this next stage in the war has been decided. I do not think the schemata of class is sufficiently focused to allow people to understand this specific point.

John Spritzler:

"Hi Emanuel,

I just listened to your recent interview on Pirate Radio Podcasts (online here) during which you spoke at some length about Israel. You never mentioned that the purpose of Zionist oppression of Palestinians was to make Palestinians be a bogeyman enemy to frighten Israeli working class Jews into obedience to the Israeli billionaires who economically oppress them (Israeli working class Jews) to get even richer, as I prove in my article, which I assume you have read, here.

The ability of the Zionist leaders to keep this KEY fact about the anti-working-class (including anti-Jewish-working-class) purpose of Zionist oppression of Palestinians a secret from the Western general public is the ONLY reason that Israel continues to get the crucial support from the U.S. government that it absolutely depends on to survive. When the U.S. public knows the truth about the anti-working-class (including anti-Jewish working class) purpose of Zionist oppression of Palestinians then it will be all over for the Zionist project, the same way it was all over for South Africa getting U.S. support for its apartheid once the truth about that apartheid was made known to the U.S. general public.

So how come you don't shout this KEY TRUTH from the rooftops as you campaign for election to president of the United States? How come you keep silent about it when you have a platform such as the Pirate Radio Podcasts from which to shout it?

If you disagree with me on this point and dispute that the purpose of Zionist oppression of Palestinians is what I say it is, then I request you explain WHY you disagree.

If you haven't already, I strongly urge you also to read my post about the history of Zionist leaders betraying European Jews during the Holocaust here, and my post about how Israel has funded HAMAS and worked to keep it in power for decades here.

If you disagree with my articles, which all explain the KEY TRUTH, then you have an obligation to say why. If you agree with them then you have an obligation to shout from the rooftops the KEY TRUTH that they say. Why? Because THAT is what the Palestinians need far more than mere condemnation of the Zionists for doing evil things, since the Zionist are able to defend their evil deeds in the eyes of the Western general public--as being necessary to make Jews safe--as long as most people don't know the KEY TRUTH that I am asking you to spread.

This is TOO IMPORTANT a question to just ignore and shove under the rug.

What do you think?

Sincerely,

--John"
