My comments. I’ve watched well into the Thompson segment. Lots of news, including the Israeli military’s re-occupation of Al-Shifra hospital in Gaza, people terrorized, arrested, killed, one executed, journalists beaten and arrested,…. The Pappé segment is sold gold. He discusses the history of the “Gaza envelope,” the ring of Israeli settlements around the border with the Gaza Strip, which range from kibbutzes to Ashkelon, a fairly large modern city (over 100,000). The area was all Arab villages and towns in 1948. During the months after Israel’s independence declaration, many of the people were expelled from their homes and forced into the Strip. In 1950, well after the armistice which was supposed to end fighting, the Arab population of the town which occupied the site of Ashkelon, and had a smilier name, was also expelled, after 2 years of living in what was administered as a ghetto. The town was razed, replaced by the city, which was quickly built. was there in Spring ’58, a few months before my family left, on a school day trip (5th grade), it’s the southern end of the Tel Aviv Metro, home to the large majority of Israel’s population.
The Israeli settlements created there served as homes for immigrants from Arab-speaking nations which came to Israel circa 1949-53, with Israel using propaganda as well as false flag terrorism (in Iraq) to push Jewish inhabitants of such nations to move to Israel. They were treated as second class citizens given they were not European, like the dominant population, and have often sought acceptance by becoming harder-core Zionists/racists than the European-descended population. The right wing parties still get overwhelming support from them.
He recounted how articles he had posted in the ‘90s predicted Israel’s population would get more rabidly right wing and racist due what the young were being taught in schools, And he thinks this has come to pass. He says any change can only come from outside pressure upon Israel. Boycott, Divest, Sanction. I’d add to those “major social change in the US and the rest of the core industrial world,” as that’s where Israel’s regime draws its support from.
Harrowing account by Dr Thompson. A global social order which tolerates blatant genocidal measures like the destruction of an area’s health care system does not deserve to persist, even in the very short term. It is a danger to human existence, not the least reason being that Gaza is serving as an outdoor social laboratory for imposing the 4IR. Success of any sort there WILL mean the exporting of similar measures to everywhere else, including right here where we live.

1. Stealing our planet, freedom and future, Meeuwis T. Baaijen
Important members of governments and institutions are secretly preselected and groomed (e.g., as WEF “Young Global Leaders”), and then elected or appointed, to work for the aims of the power elite.This way, nations become pawns on the global chessboard. In the early 1990’s, three men took part in a US training course for global leaders: Nicolas Sarkozy, Gordon Brown and Jan Peter Balkenende. Fifteen years later, all three were (s)elected as prime minister in their respective countries: France, the UK and Holland]. The common people are “mind controlled” to believe the official narrative (also called “manufactured consent”, a term by Noam Chomsky; also called “perception management”).
The conspiratorial analysis of history is indeed more complicated, as it factors in the crucial role of hidden powers, which covertly direct the global puppet theater, using countries and institutions as their Punches and Judies, or chess pieces. Cover-ups are a standard part of the operations of these powers, including the destruction of documents and other evidence. During the serious food scarcities in Europa, right after WW1, that happened on a massive scale, when Glafia agent Herbert Hoover (later rewarded with the 31st presidency of the United States) removed many shiploads of documents from all European countries, including Germany and Russia, in exchange for food (all these countries were starving). This document harvest ended up under lock and key in the newly created Hoover Institute at Stanford University, USA.
Were critical documents pertaining the true origins of WW1 destroyed in the process? Nobody knows. Likewise, millions of WW1 documents are still classified in the UK, and gradually disappearing, it seems. To protect whom, more than a century after the war? The fact that no official historian has ever protested such bizarre measures is self-explanatory: an independent analysis of these hidden documents would probably contradict the official version of history.
Is social science any different?
The received history is thoroughly contaminated by the ruling oligarchs, see Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope. Russia’s top-intellectual, Andrey Fursov, states that our scientific institutions are similarly shackled by a global Mafia:
“I would like to remind you about the research by Andy Coghlan and Debora MacKenzie published in October 2011 on the site of the New Scientist. This group of scholars showed that 147 companies, 1% of all companies, controlled 40% of the world economy. This is very indicative. This means that the modern economy, whose basic unit of analysis is the market, conceals more than it shows. Politics and the nation-state are fading away, and this means that political science, with its basic units of analysis— politics and the state — not only cannot adequately conceptualize, but cannot even merely depict real power relations, especially on the global level.
“Secondly, there is another serious problem with political science. Real power is usually secret or semi-secret, shadow power. Conventional political science has neither concepts nor methods, to analyse this type of power. The more democratic the facade of the western society was becoming in the 19th and 20th centuries, the less real power it had. This power was channelled into closed clubs, super-national structures, etc. What I am saying is banal and trivial, but political science in its present condition cannot analyse real power relations.
“So, a new social science is needed, studying the real world, and not that which professed scholarship defines as real. A new social science with new disciplines, new concepts, a social force which will be able to create such a new type of scholarship, has the best chance to win in the 21st Century”.
In the meantime, power and capital have been concentrated even more (see documentary Monopoly by Tim Gielen), but Fursov’s proposal for a “new social science” has never been implemented in any institution. Yet far before Fursov proposed it, several brave professional and amateur historians have been using his method. They were often retired, because still employed researchers who dare to touch “the third rail” often find their careers suffering or blocked (“career suicide”): “You may rock the boat, but not the ocean.”…….

2. Blair, Berlusconi and false flag terror, Paul Cudenec
I have been going on for years about Gladio, the NATO-organised terrorist network behind a glut of false flag attacks in the second half of the last century, a forerunner to the false flag spectacles we have seen more recently. So I was intrigued to read, via Kit Klarenberg, that mainstream Italian newspaper La Repubblica has just published an interview with Roberto Jucci, veteran “general of top secret missions”, in which he talks about its activities. The paper seems to focus on the role of US “centers of power” in the murder of “left-leaning statesman” Aldo Moro.
But also notable is the reminder that they worked “in conjunction with notorious Masonic lodge P2” of which one of the highest-profile members was the late politician and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi.Berlusconi, as The Independent reports, was “involved in dozens of court cases on charges including money laundering, mafia collusion and underage prostitution”. Researchers into nefarious goings-on have long shown an interest in the links between Berlusconi and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, so close to the Rothschild gang.[Here the piece gets murky. Too much concentration on personalities, very little on the inevitable imperatives of capital]…..
Great post! Lots of informative content. The info on WW1 documents was new to me, though I've known for a long time that official history is BS.
