This video features an interview with Daniel Klein, a former student of the Mechina Bnei David preparatory program in Israel. The discussion explores the nature of Zionist indoctrination within the military preparatory academies (mechinot) and how these systems shape the worldview of young recruits.

Know the truth about why Israeli society is so blood thirsty and savage.

The Survival Skills Project deepens students’ knowledge of their country and helps them build their familiarity with its terrain in person. While strengthening students’ bond to the land and inculcating the values of nature and the environment, the Survival Skills Project develops their independence, adaptability and resilience skills, and leadership abilities. Skills taught in the Survival Skills Project are a valuable part of preparation for military service.

  • Mission: To instill values of responsibility, faith, and elite service, encouraging students to view IDF service as a privilege rather than a burden.
  • Curriculum: Combines intensive Talmudic studies, Jewish philosophy, and religious ethics with physical fitness, navigation training, and security-related studies.
  • Target Audience: Primarily religious Jewish males planning full-length IDF service, often acting as a bridge between high school and the military.
  • Influence: Considered a major, often controversial, institution that has produced many senior IDF officers and is supported by state funding.

Oh, it’s always good to get a spook and a former Vietnam helicopter pilot and Colin Powell buddy.

Hegseth Says U.S. Troops Are Fighting for Jesus. The Pope Disagrees.

In sharp contrast to the Trump administration’s calls for Christian prayers for the war effort, Pope Leo XIV says military domination is “entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.”

Biography

Col. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson’s last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department’s Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and a member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).

Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97). Wilkerson retired in 1997 and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs at the George Washington University and is currently working on a book about the first George W. Bush administration.

Areas of Expertise

  • Diplomacy / National security process
  • Iraq wars
  • China / Russia “new” Cold War
  • U.S. Nuclear Policy

JEWS and Christians need only apply!

  • “Holy War” Rhetoric: Hegseth has used his position to advocate for a Christian nationalist vision of the military, framing wars as battles for a Christian nation under God.
  • Pentagon Worship Services: He organized monthly, voluntary Christian worship services in the Pentagon auditorium, a move critics note is a departure from traditional chaplaincy, which is designed to be ecumenical and inclusive.
  • “Overwhelming Violence” Prayer: In March 2026, he was filmed at a Pentagon service praying for US troops to inflict “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy,” concluding with “in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ,” during the ongoing war with Iran.
  • Chaplaincy Changes: Hegseth removed the requirement for chaplains to wear their rank insignia, replaced it with religious symbols, and shifted the chaplain corps away from what he termed “political correctness and secular humanism”.
  • “Deus Vult” Symbolism: He has faced scrutiny for sporting a “Deus Vult” (God Wills It) tattoo, a phrase historically associated with the Crusades and currently with extremists, though he has not explicitly renounced it, viewing it as his Christian faith.
  • Definition: A supernatural entity who controls, commands, or protects in matters of war and conflict.
  • Greek Mythology: Ares is the primary god of war, often representing the brutal, bloody nature of battle, while Athena represents strategic warfare.
Ares - Wikipedia
  • Roman Mythology: Mars was the Roman counterpart to Ares, holding a more revered position as a protector of the state.
Athena - Wikipedia
  • Norse Mythology: Figures like OdinThor, and Tyr are associated with war and battle prowess.
  • Other Traditions: In some contexts, war gods represent protection, strength, and the martial aspects of life.

That fucking MAGA cuntology: As of early April 2026, the average price of one pound of lean ground beef has surpassed the federal minimum wage of per hour, with average prices ranging from to over per pound. This means one hour of work at the federal minimum wage is often insufficient to purchase a single pound of high-quality ground beef.

The Price of One Bag of Flour

This is the story of a family destroyed by hunger, violence, and the impossible choices forced on civilians

This family is personal for me. I have been donating to Sejood for a long time, back when her husband Mohamed was still alive. I didn’t know them before Israel bombed their home. By the time I met them, their house was already destroyed and they were living inside the broken remains because they had nowhere else to go.

Mohamed was killed at one of the “Christian” GHF aid centers. He went there because his children were dying from starvation. Everyone in Gaza knows the danger of approaching aid points. People have been shot just for trying to reach food. He had no choice. On July 23, 2025, he went to try to bring back one bag of flour. He was killed.

A man died because he wanted to feed his family. That is the truth of this story.

Now all of that responsibility sits on Sejood’s shoulders. She never had the chance to grieve her husband. No one in Gaza gets that time. Survival doesn’t pause for grief. Every hour is about keeping her children alive, finding food, finding medicine, finding clean water, and trying to protect them inside a home that no longer exists.

Her four‑year‑old son, Yamen, has a serious leg condition and wears heavy metal braces. She carries him everywhere because they cannot afford a wheelchair. The cost for that wheelchair is $1k, an impossible amount in a place where a bag of flour is $30. Her baby, Sanad, is one year old and needs regular medication. Both children have perforated eardrums from explosions landing too close to them. They are often sick. Food is never guaranteed.

Sejood is a very humble person. She never asks for the sake of asking. She doesn’t use her grief to manipulate and get donations. She only requests when she has no choice and nowhere to turn.

What she urgently needs right now:

  • A wheelchair for Yamen so she no longer has to carry him on her back
  • Basic food and a few days of breathing room
  • Medication and diapers for the baby

I am hoping that through this community, we can raise at least $1500 for her. One thousand will go toward the wheelchair. The remaining $500 will give her a small window of relief to buy food and medicine for her children.

The GHF centers were American‑funded. Whether we wanted it or not, every American was made complicit in the conditions that forced Mohamed to risk his life for food. The least we can do is shoulder a piece of the suffering that families like Sejood’s are carrying alone.
