This is how the Capitalist Imperialist US media spins lies and obfuscation:

"Israel is waging war against Hamas in Gaza..."

It's not a f***ink 'war against Hamas', it's an ethnic cleansing operation against the Palestinian people in the service of a "Greater Israel" strategy and has been underway for decades..

Zionism is a bloody death cult.

I am closing comments for this post.

The "discourse" has gotten personal, and out of hand, and I think it disrespects Mr. Bushnell's sacrifice. Peace & Love is the only way we're getting out of this Monsters of War mess.

See you on the next post.

Before he went to the Israeli embassy, Aaron Bushnell posed this question (to all of us) on his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bushnell.94/)

Many of us like to ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?”

The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.

When this sort of heroism happened against Vietnam, the media covered it properly because Vietnam was owned by R Nixon. Now that Israel is owned by D Biden, heroism doesn't exist.

Media is permanently D. Everything done by D is automatically angelic. Everything done by R is automatically evil. Even when the two actions are identical. Label is all.

Yes it is tragic that a healthy young man chose that way to protest. If only he had joined us in organized resistance and defiance. Likely the other side is thinking "One down and five billion" to go. We must not give them any of our side.

I'm sorry but (((they))) are fucking selfish assholes every single time, enough!

"A spokesperson from the Israeli Embassy said no embassy staff were injured."

Oh, these monsters in the mush media are both incompetent and inhumane. No comments from smart people who have studied the history of self immolation. Nothing deep there, just how "the Israelis in the embassy might have had some hurt feelings." I doubt that. I can see cheering, for sure.

Dancing Mossad and all that.

These pukes in the dead-head media can't even do basic research or make a phone call to someone smart in the arena of political acts.

In April 2016, Armin, an asylum seeker in a village of Switzerland, set himself alight in the public square of the town, one of a few cases reported across Europe. He performed the act following a denied request for asylum and was saved by bystanders. We present the results of two qualitative interviews conducted with Armin, his translator and his roommate following the incident. The act is theorized through the lens of a dialogical analysis focusing on the concept of social recognition. The notion of trauma is considered as a key mediating mechanism, theorized as creating ruptures in time, memory, language, and social connections to an Other. We conclude this communicative act to represent both “being-toward-death” and a relational striving toward life; a “destruction as the cause of coming into being.”

+--+

Sure it's erudite and clinical, this article I cite (see link below), but fuck, better than the Jewish Israeli currated crap. This man did an act of human survival, one that called for him to stave his own internal pain, and where language is meaningless (genocide is just mowing the grass, and war is peace, and slavery is freedom, you know), the act of death was his only recourse. Not many understand that, so goes the intellectual and psychological ceilings of the Western MIND.

For those whose landscapes have been disrupted by trauma, “their problem is not the limits of memory but of language—the inadequacy of ordinary words to express all they have witnessed” (17). When words fail, when “the temporality of linguistic convention, considered as ritual, exceeds the instances of its utterance, and that excess is not fully capturable or identifiable” (18), it naturally falls upon the body to become the site of (reconstructive) action. Butler, for example, has marked the body as the stage on which traumatic disconnection unfolds:

Loss and vulnerability seem to follow from our being socially constituted bodies, attached to others, at risk of losing those attachments, exposed to others, at risk of violence by virtue of that exposure … the body implies mortality, vulnerability .

This event is horrible. But let's not forget the equally horrible act of that POS from the Israeli Embassy who aimed a gun at him. I am doing some research to see whether that scum can claim diplomatic immunity, but I don't think he can, and I'm definitely going to raise hell if DC doesn't arrest him.

I agree with all my broken heart, Cindy. This is not an act we should valorize, nor do I wish to demean him in his death. I will join you in saying, “It’s better to live and try to make a difference.” The warmonsters care nothing for our senseless sacrifices, and pursuing such a course of action only hurts those of us with empathy, thus defeating the stated purpose of such a horrific act.

Praying big that Aaron Bushnell's self-martyrdom sacrifice will not be in vain!

Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

'BENEDICT' BIDEN! WORST TRAITOR IN ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY! WAS NEVER A BIDEN SUPPORTER AND DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS EVIL TRAITOROUS GLOBALIST TOOL OF THE CRIMINALS OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM WHO ARE DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY TO ENSLAVE US! HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED! I VOTED THIRD PARTY.

Just say NO to war! Do NOT follow orders!

END ALL WARS NOW! END ALL MILITARY MADNESS NOW BEFORE IT ENDS ALL OF US!

Can't say this often enough! STOP BEING PLAYED - TARGET THE PUPPETMASTERS WHO WANT US AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS - ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS AS THEY PROFIT FROM DEATH AND DESTRUCTION!

A vast majority of so-called leaders and Public 'Serpents' around the world have been bribed, blackmailed/coerced into serving the interests of their technocratic New World Ordure parasite masters and not We the People.

GREED is behind every evil assailing us in the world!

We the People must try harder to live by The Golden Rule, doing so would solve most problems!

Everything is much worse and certainly including 'deaths of despair', all by malicious calculated design.

The demonic despots of Davos at it again! They are behind everything bad! At it for decades and cronies like The Rothschilds and the Black Nobility and The Khazarian Mafia have been plotting planetary domination for centuries! ALL BECAUSE OF AVARICE!

Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant parasites are perpetrating!

I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!

Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.

There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!

We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!

Kudos to Cindy Sheehan's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!

All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.

Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links. RejectDigitalEnslavement.com

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!

We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA! climateviewer.com

There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.

How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!

RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!

Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.

There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!

APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!

MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!

NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!

TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.

NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.

STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!

NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

I believe Mr Bushnell was inspired by the burning bonze protests in 1963 in Saigon, against the US-backed, Catholic Diem regime's persecution against Buddhists, which put the final nail in the coffin of Diem, who was assassinated (with CIA assistance, of course) Nov 2, 1963. At least CNN mentioned what Bushnell's self-immolation was about. I had not known about the Georgia incident until today. I checked out the "Burning bonze" entry in CIA cut-out Wikipedia, which actually gives good background, with quotes, on what the Buddhist monks were doing, torching themselves. Useful Idiots podcast "Monday Mourning" led off today covering the fact that the NYT and other MSM outlets totally white-washed the purpose of Bushnell's protest with generic headlines. RIP, Aaron Bushnell.

Imagine this, CNN had to throw this into their report:

"A spokesperson from the Israeli Embassy said no embassy staff were injured." Unbelievable.

A young fellow of 25 years with an incredible level of empathy, understanding and compassion. His unit had just received orders to ship out (deploy) from what I have seen. He was unwilling to be a part of the killing machine. While I hope he stirs the hearts of his fellow airmen and other military personnel- perhaps they can find a way, as Woody Guthrie suggested:

“I would like to see every single soldier on every single side, just take off your helmet, unbuckle your kit, lay down your rifle, and set down at the side of some shady lane, and say, nope, I ain't a gonna kill nobody. Plenty of rich folks wants to fight. Give them the guns.”

May Aaron Bushnell rest in peace.

Dear Cindy, I agree and feel same way. Being the daughter of a Korean War Veteran (dad) suffered horribly PTSD all his last 50 years of his life. He always flew the US Flag upside down (nation in distress) and lately I think, what if, would "Americans" care if all of us, pro-peace ,antiwar, Veterans, veterans for peace, veterans who have "had enough", war, deaths, genocide, could we ask them, all of us to protest at our states capitals, not only hold upside flag, but if we all in protest, "burn the American Flag?!" do you think anyone would care? would the so-called fake Patriots care? Would they demand we all get arrested? Trump once said that! Who would care? They keep voting the same old same ol'e duopoly and expecting a different result! When will that ever change?! I am all for not giving up, at age 60, I feel more determined to not give up, so what do we do next? Thanks so much for always sharing your self, and truth! greatly appreciated. MaryJ. Boston, MA.
