Many of my well-off gay No Kings Day friends are worried about their stock portfolios with this “new situation” which they never call genocide a la Iran . . .

“This country is hard on people.”

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has a message for young Americans looking for work in a tough job market: Don’t be deterred, even as job creation remains weak and the threat of artificial intelligence looms.

The Fed chair, who made the comments on Monday to an undergraduate economics class at Harvard University, covered a lot of ground during his hour-long appearance, including the financial system’s capacity to weather future crises. He also touched on inflation amid the war in Iran, saying that longer-term expectations remain in check.

Powell is set to step down from his role as chair in May, when he will be replaced by Kevin Warsh, a former Fed official whom President Trump nominated to the post in January. In the meantime, the Fed is wrangling with economic data showing that the inflation rate remains above the central bank’s 2% annual goal, while surging oil prices are pushing up costs at the gas pump and may ripple through the economy.

Proving Grounds, dudes . . . 90% Destroyed: How Israel Improved Its Interception of Drones From Lebanon.

Something about the end of fucking Zionism? Israel vows to occupy swathes of southern Lebanon to expand the buffer zone. Defence minister outlines plans to destroy all homes and villages in the area ‘in accordance with the model in Gaza’

Stress Tests and Positions. Of course, the world will . . . . The world cannot allow Gaza’s horrors to be replayed in Lebanon

Your editorial on Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon (25 March) rightly warns against a repeat of the devastating tactics unleashed on Palestinians in Gaza.

My colleagues in Lebanon are reporting the fear instilled by mass forced-displacement orders and military attacks, including on healthcare workers. Our team and partner organisations have been supporting Palestinian refugees who have had to flee their homes, while others have not been able to evacuate even if they wish to. This has instilled deepening panic within communities, including Palestinian refugees who already live in overcrowded camps, and experience poverty and limited access to essential services.

Spain’s PM says Israel to inflict on Lebanon the same destruction as in Gaza

Jew York Times, what fucking Israel Sycophants: For the Global Economy, ‘All Roads Lead to Higher Prices and Slower Growth’

US aircraft can continue to use the airspace and land at the bases in emergency situations, and are still able to provide logistics support to 80,000 US forces stationed across Europe.

But as The Guardian reported Monday, 15 US refueling planes were diverted from the Morón de la Frontera and Rota bases to military facilities in France and Germany at the beginning of the war.

The US was also forced to find an alternative location for B-52 and B-1 bombers due to Spain’s policy, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer agreeing to allow Trump to send them to Fairford Air Base in Gloucestershire, England in the first days of the war.

The Seville Air Traffic Control Center has provided navigation support to B-2 Spirit bombers that have traveled from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to carry out strikes in Iran, but those planes do not enter Spanish airspace, instead crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.

Sánchez has rejected Trump’s criticism of Spain’s policy, noting that the country has also led the way in recent years in recognizing the state of Palestine and speaking out against Israel’s assault, as other European governments eventually did.

“They say that Spain is alone,” the prime minister said earlier this month. “They said the same when we recognized the state of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone. We are the first. Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.”

The effects of the war in Iran are squeezing consumers, businesses and governments around the world, raising the prices of many essential goods.

More Jew Software, a la Karp:

Palantir’s UK boss has urged the government not to give in to “ideologically motivated campaigners” as government ministers explore a way out of a £330m NHS contract with the tech company.

Ministers have sought advice on triggering a break clause in Palantir’s deal to deliver the Federated Data Platform (FDP), amid questions over the company’s presence in the public sector.

The FDP is an AI-enabled data platform designed to connect disparate health information across the NHS, while Palantir also has contracts with the Ministry of Defence, several police forces and the UK’s financial watchdog.

Louis Mosley, the executive vice-chair of Palantir in the UK, told the Times the government should resist calls to eject the company from NHS England’s data systems.

“Having a review clause in a contract is good and normal practice. However, what some ideologically motivated campaigners are suggesting should happen would harm patient care and prevent some of the biggest challenges facing the NHS from being tackled,” Mosley said.

“That would be a mistake. The clear evidence of the past two years of delivery is that our software is helping. It is forecast to deliver £150m in benefits by the end of the decade, representing a £5 return for every pound spent.”

He was a former Member of Parliament who became a pariah for his antisemitism and ties to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.]

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson told the Guardian: “The NHS Federated Data Platform is helping to join up patient care, increase productivity, speed up cancer diagnosis and ensure thousands of additional patients can be treated each month – with strict requirements in place about data security and confidentiality.

“Every hospital trust and integrated care board has their own instance of the IT platform, with complete control over who has access.”

Sources close to the health secretary, Wes Streeting, point to comments he made to the Guardian Politics Weekly podcast, in which he was asked about ethical issues with engaging Palantir.

Asked if he recognised that people were worried about the deal with Palantir, given his history and the fact that it was founded by Peter Thiel, an influential figure on the American right, he said: “Yes … When you look at some of the things Palantir’s leaders have said in the States, when you look at their political views and their outlook … If you were to put [Thiel] and some of those Palantir bosses on the political spectrum in the UK, they would be well off to the right of even Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative party.”

Gilad Atzmon:

Netanyahu declares, “since the beginning of the revival war, we inflicted on Iran 10 plagues”. This declaration is made one day ahead of Passover, which celebrates the (Godly as well as genocidal) Ten Plagues of Egypt.

Just in case you ever wrongly believed that ‘Zionism is not Judaism’, the truth can’t be suppressed anymore. The Jewish State is driven by Judaic ideology, its war crimes echo the Old Testament’s barbarism, and its prime minister equates himself with the Jewish God.

Scary indeed..

Interestingly enough, I wrote today an extended piece about the crucial role of Judaism in shaping Israeli criminality. Link in the first comment.

Purim, Passover, and the war against Iran

Since Israel isn’t just a ‘Jewish State’ (the state of the Jewish people), but has gradually morphed into the Judaic State (a state driven by Judaic religion and spirit), it is crucial to examine the current Israeli-American war in Iran within the context of the Judaic religion.

The criminal war against Iran was launched one day before Purim, the most joyous Jewish holiday, which celebrates the biblical story of a Jewish genocide in ancient Persia. The celebration is inspired by the Book of Esther. It is worth mentioning that the story of Purim has zero historical support; it does not appear in any Persian historical account, yet Jewish people—both religious and secular—celebrate it.

Was the decision to launch the war on Iran a day before the Jewish celebration of a genocide in ancient Persia a coincidence? Was the decision to kill the Supreme Leader in the first air raid a tactical move, or was it inspired by religious sentiment? I will let you ponder these questions.

A month into this war, it is proving to be a catastrophe for its ‘architects’ and the West in general. It signals the long-awaited end of American global hegemony. It may well turn the prime aggressor- ISrael into WASrael.

Yet, from a Judaic point of view, we are just entering another Jewish holiday—or perhaps another ‘commemoration’ of a biblical, genocidal fantasy narrative.

Passover is, of course, a celebration of the Jewish God inflicting ten plagues on Egypt. These plagues should be described as nothing short of WMD and cosmic war crimes, entailing biological warfare of the worst kind. The Biblical plagues, in order, included turning the Nile to blood, frogs, lice/gnats, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of the firstborn.

The Jewish Passover feast is a celebration of these divine collective punishments. Again, there is zero historical account of such an event ever occurring, but one thing cannot be denied: Jews, both religious and secular, celebrate this narrative of extended mass killing.

More worrying is the thought that they didn’t just invent this genocidal event and celebrate its alleged occurrence; they actually invented the God who inflicted this genocide and have adhered to Him throughout their history.

In light of this religious affinity for genocidal narratives, we shouldn’t be surprised that it was two Jewish scientists (Einstein and Szilard) who initiated the Manhattan Project and a third (Oppenheimer) who built it. The bomb was called at the time ‘The Jewish Bomb’ for a reason. It was also Fritz Haber who devised the idea of gas warfare during WWI. Haber died on his way to Palestine while making Aliyah.

The Jewish State was born in an act of mass ethnic cleansing—the 1948 Nakba—, it then locked the indigenous people of the land in open-air prisons and it did not take long before it committed the most documented genocide in human history (Gaza 2023-2026).

The war against Iran, which was declared as a ‘fight against the regime,’ quickly evolved into a war of destruction against the Iranian people. By now, it is impossible not to attempt to understand the Jewish state and its actions in light of the Judaic religion, texts, and culture.

The Passover Haggadah tells the story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. In light of the destruction the New Israelites have spread around them, it seems as if the Israelites’ exodus from Palestine is now only a matter of time.

Could you imagine a situation in which during WW2 commentators would refrain from discussing the nature of German National Socialism in order to not offend a few American of German origin? Could you similarly think of British politicians stopping themselves short of criticizing the nature of USSR’s communism at the time of the Cold War in a genuine attempt not to hurt a few Brits with Russian roots?

Time is overdue to discuss the nature of the Jewish state and to grasp how Judaism, Jewishness and Jews related to each other and how these notions affect world peace…
