Thank you for the tireless work. You have me curious of the history of anarchism in relation to zionism. I think the common approach of most people is to acknowledge the negative presence of the Rothschilds in the global picture but to downplay their overwhelming influence, so as to appear more "balanced" or to avoid labels of "anti-semitism" or to appear less "conspiracy-minded." You have done an amazing job of providing clear evidence for your reasoning and focus, and I appreciate your courage in doing so.
Cheers. Errico Malatesta wrote in "Anarchy" back in 1891: "Rothschild, for instance, does not need to be either M.P. or minister, it is enough for him to keep M.P.’s and ministers dependent upon him". https://www.libertarian-labyrinth.org/anarchist-beginnings/errico-malatesta-anarchy-1891/ But the general approach has indeed been to ignore anything too close to the dreaded "conspiracy theory" or "anti-semitism" and to pretend that the enemy is a sort of nebulous, almost abstract, confluence of interests called capitalism. I don't see how we can have a serious resistance movement if it cannot even identify the nature of its oppressor! And yes, the evidence in that respect is very clear.
i like this. I find authors and thinkers I greatly admire but they too often fall into this - not wanting to name names or think of it as a mass or an emergent phenomena. It has emerged but it is specific to individuals within individual groups and relies on lies, force and usury.
After a decade of Tory wreckers, I really wanted to believe in Starmer - but never could. My working roots go back to the 1973 miner's strike when I was a teenager, newly down the pit in North Manchester. Boy, how the (so-called) Labour Party has changed. And the 1970s was the most equitable and socially-mobile decade ever - before Thatcher betrayed the country to privatisation.
Thank you for your dedicated work, Paul; long may it continue.
Thanks Joshua. Yes, the country has been heading rapidly downhill towards the pits of corporate hell for as long as I can remember. Accelerating as it goes, as well!
If in 2009 gates would have taken himself out, by now 100's of millions of his disciples would have follwed his brave example. But since gates is a spineless coward of no particular intelligence, he continues to plant the seeds of depopulation in his boorish manner.
There’s still a lot of “waking up” to do, in my opinion. How many people really see and understand the big picture, from all three —ecclesiastical and financial and political — perspectives? Unconscious & subconscious defense mechanisms and the normalcy bias and cognitive dissonance (and major cognitive disorders that I can’t think of, but which affect entire swathes of people) are still keeping mostly-awake people half asleep.
Thank you for this insightful comment and your posts regarding the origin of evil. I think there is wisodm in the biblical creation story, but it is not the only story as to how things unfolded. I find help in comparing other traditions' understandings, sicne as you point out, the biblical story pretty much kicks the can down the road.
Thank you for your kind words. Leaving aside supernatural and spiritual explanations for the origin of evil, why not explore secular and natural explanations? This is what the (logical, critical, analytical) study of “political ponerology” and “ponerogenesis” and “psychopathy” does. I find these topics fascinating. Although it has its weaknesses, the book “Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes” might be one of the most important books you’ll ever read. Here’s an interesting (in my opinion) link: https://www.systemsthinker.com/interests/mind/psychopathy.shtml that might explain why.
Additionally, the work of the author Daniel Quinn “ingeniously explained how a great deal of the excessive harm in our world stems from the rise of civilization and our associated rapacious culture, hell bent on unsustainable levels of acquisition, dominance and expansion, which he refers to as the culture of the Takers.”
Grow little acorns, grow!
A great ten year retrospective!
Thanks W.D.!
Appreciate all you are doing and the work it takes. There are many Oaks and many acorns that are growing stronger in their power and connection.

Love you work Paul. Thank you from Australia

Like with Gates or anyone else who rattles the 'over-population' sabre, I say "Fine, you first".
Sounds like "anarchists" are waking up to the JQ, good to see.

Great - sounds like we are on the same page. I have been delving into Denis Noble's work lately, as he dismantles the entire edifice of reductionist science and the "selfish gene" dogma. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079610720300961
