No, Theists, Theology Does Not Explain Cosmogenesis and Cosmology


Theology Does Not Explain Cosmogenesis and Cosmology

No, theists,
theology does not EXPLAIN cosmogenesis and cosmology in the least. It merely asserts without any verifiable evidence or proof that a deity or deities, called a God, god or Gods and/or Goddesses, declared or magicianed the universe and everything in it into existence and controls, or control, the behavior and fate of everything in it, whereas nothing, deities included, can do anything, including perform any movement or action or create, without energy, fundamental, pre-requisite, pre-existing, inherent, mutable, transformational, morphable energy, the essence, source and be all of any and all motion, action, kinetics, power and matter-materiality (the mc2 or mc^2 side of the energy and matter interchangeability equation E=mc2 or E=mc^2 tells us that [default] energy is required to change matter into energy and energy into matter). Energy, which empirically exists and has been empirically proven to exist everywhere, including in vacuum space, resides in its host of empirical foremost fundamental dimensional space, space-time. Nothing can exist beyond or apart from space-time because oxymoronically to exist beyond or apart from space-time is to [nevertheless] exist somewhere or someplace else, which inextricably and inescapably is still somewhere [else], thus space, and is still existence, in which mere existence, even that of dimensional space, is the fundamental state of being, which is the foremost and default state of time (that is to say, the state of mere existence or being of something is the foremost fundamental state of time of that thing, applicable to foremost fundamental dimensional space, space-time itself, everything and totality). In the absence of dimensional space, space-time, thereby and therefore rudimentary informational space, space-time mere existence, there can be absolutely nothing, not its distance, expanse, duration (which is measurable as a progression of overt, implied or covert motion or tenure of a thing, and can be finite, indefinite in part or overall or infinite and so entails the flow, thus energy flow, of existential and from-to structural or abstract time), nor its (space, space-time's) vertical, horizontal and depth axises, nor even its inherent therein fundamental energy and its energy's derivative matter, nor light nor darkness nor temperature (heat, cold, or neutral), nor any information, mathematics of things and the properties of things or geometry, etc. Likewise, there could not be any dimensionality, information or time without energy, and, thus, no space, space-time or time -- in this sense, energy is integral to dimensional space, space-time and time and the state of mere existence. The beginning had to have been and was an energy-action and evolutionary and developmental [process and] event for each and every thing. What, you might ask, came before energy? The answer can only be circularly that energy-action, the power-source, powerer-doer, is the technical, theoretical and logical-philosophical explanatory prime, default cause and causal-force [source].

That space, space-time can varyingly bend and warp by the presence, magnitude and geometry of mass in and acting on it and ripple and stretch from the action-reaction power, or recoil, effect of the collision and merger of black holes, neutron stars or a black hole and neutron star in it, and can expand-stretch faster than the speed of light from and shrink to or dwell in or at singularities, it exhibits itself to be energetic and may itself be a supreme, ultimate, boundlessly mutable form of energy. In addition, space, space-time geometry configures and is concurrent with and characterizes the particular identities of all things and the attributes, uniquenesses, differences and similarities as well as changes in and of all things.

Contrary to Some Mainstream-Source and Freelance Wrong Analyses in Explanation for the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election Victory of Former POTUS Donald Trump Over VP Kamala Harris


Contrary to some mainstream-source and freelance wrong analysis proffering explanations otherwise for the 11-05-2024 US presidential election victory of former POTUS Donald Trump over incumbent VP Kamala Harris,

all of the major polls on the pending-US presidential election showed that the election was a toss-up that could break either way. Their earlier and election exit polls found that a majority of voters rated Trump a better manager of the economy than Biden and blamed Biden for the onerous, on the middle and under classes, high price inflation as well as said that they were economically better off when Trump was president than under President Biden, wrongly, either forgetfully, ignorantly or facetiously. In the few months before the election, Trump successively promised elimination of federal income taxes on 1) tip income, very important to and popular with workers in the hotel, restaurant, hospitality, cab and ride-fare and airport, plus, and luggage-handling services industries, 2) overtime pay, important to and popular with all of the preceding workers as well as, regularly, to and with police and firefighters, factory, store, construction and office workers, and, periodically, hospital, fed, state and municipal civil-servant, tax-season and school and professional sports-event workers and 3) on Social Security Insurance retirement system pensions, important to and popular with Social Security Insurance system pensioners and those near retirement, both men and women for all categories, wherein such federal-income-tax- free income would result in a large increase in income to the beneficiaries monthly and annually, permanently. (The problem with the tax-free Social Security pensions, if legislatively approved by both houses of the US Congress and signed into law by President-elect Trump after he is inaugurated as US President on 01-20-2024, is that the heretofore federal income taxes on them were systemically and continuously recycled back into the Social Security retirement system trust fund to help sustain the Social Security retirement program permanently. If and when they are gone, their disappearance. their loss, may or would hasten the breaking-point solvency issue with the whole program, for future thereafter paid-in, eligible recipients.)

For a long time preceding the 2024 US presidential election, the MAGA media network deliberately and falsely attributed the state of highly inflated prices to President Biden and his Presidency and the falsehood that households were economically better off under the Trump Presidency than the current Biden Presidency, whereas objective recent economic history records that this situation as well as the drastic downturn in the US economy that resulted in massive business failures, unemployment and major shortages of essential goods in stores, most memorably and dramatically toilet paper, and soaring prices, as well as in more than 775,000 Covid-19 pandemic caused deaths in the USA, resulted both from the initial downplaying and mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic in the USA by the Trump Presidency in 2020 and its pass-along tariffs on foreign imports to USA importers and consumers, increasing the prices of products, materials, components and parts imported from exporters-suppliers and sold or otherwise used by respectively USA importer-retailers and importer-product producers. Also, the record shows that the Biden Presidency has remediated all of the problems, though not returned high prices to what they were in the pre-inflationary period, which has never happened in economic history, but has, in conjunction with the Federal Reserve Bank, reduced the rate of inflation to almost the FRB default goal rate of 2%. Before the election and in the exit polls a large percentage of voters were parroting MAGA-media propaganda, that had become gaslighted false belief to them, about the source and state of their difficult economic situation and referring to it as their reason for voting for Trump over Harris, in which they associated President Biden's VP Harris with Biden's mistaken blameworthiness for their difficult economic situation.

Crossover voters from these constituencies, across age, gender, ethnicity and race, aligned to become voters for the Trump 2024 presidential candidacy (motivated moreover by Trump's stated promised political-economic incentives) and added to Trump's secure, solid-core circa MAGA-GOP & GOP 33 to 40% bloc of the voting electorate, with GOP defectors of conscience turned away from voting for Trump. Their numbers offset the GOP rejectors and defectors of the GOP's Trump candidacy and were much more than enough in numbers to give Trump the margin of victory he needed and obtained to be elected US president on US presidential election day of 11-05-2024.  Although Trump won the election's crucial and deciding Electoral College vote by a wide margin, by 86 votes (312 for Donald Trump vs. 226 for Kamala Harris), he won the popular vote, quite as the major pre-election polls predicted, by a near toss-up, yet-definitive margin, of 1.3% (77,137,560, or 49.9% of, votes for Trump, vs. 74,703,910, or 48.3% of, votes for Harris) -- he did not win a majority of the popular vote but won a plurality of the popular vote:  US presidential election results 2024: Harris vs. Trump | Live maps, charts and the latest vote count (reuters.com) .  As of the date of 12-04-2024, vote counting continues in some locations in the USA, trending with increasing ratio numbers for Harris and decreasing ratio numbers for Trump that are far too few when counted in total to either change Trump's Electoral College vote-count victory or popular-vote election victory, but are enough to lessen the margin of his popular-vote victory by a tenth or more or less of a percent.

President-elect Trump’s 1) proposed Department of Government Efficiency (referred to simply as DOGE), proposed by him to be led by the world’s both richest person and billionaire Elon Musk, with a likely termination-exempt and irreducible multibillion-dollar, annually, space-services-program contract, or more, with the US Government, paid in taxpayer income tax dollars, and mega-millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, with a fortune of circa less than a hundred million-dollars short of a billion dollars, whose assigned task is to vilify and/or delegitimize as corrupt, superfluous and wasteful in spending and strip down to a minimum the public services agencies and programs, for most of the USA plutocracy-oligarchy their loathed administrative public services state (whose generationally traditional idea has been and is that with its demise, tax money from the plutocracy-oligarchy will no longer be needed and called for to support it), of the federal government to save expenditures of taxpayer tax money in the name of federal fiscal discipline and efficiency, and 2) his proposed large and wide-ranging tariffs on imported products, in effect a national sales tax on imports and domestically made products that use imported components and parts, etc., that hike the price of domestic retailer products for sale and the costs of domestic producer products and the prices of their wholesale sale to domestic businesses and consumers and thereby fuel domestic price inflation, but, nevertheless, are a major source of revenue to the federal government,: are apparent actions or measures to give and pay for tax cuts, possibly the aforementioned ones but most probably the renewal of those scheduled to lapse on corporations and the rich investor class in 2026, though probably not the renewal of those on the middle and lower-income classes previously given in same tax-cut package under the previous Trump Presidency of 01/2017 to 01/2021. In this way, so to say, with one hand he gives federal budget-busting  tax cuts and with the other hand he alternatively, via a quasi-national sales tax under the veil of variable tariffs, as opposed to a uniform tariff, on their export-import products of and across tariffed exporter nations to the USA, raises federal tax revenues in an attempt to pay or meaningfully pay for the hugely federal-deficit-increasing tax cuts, in net effect at the cost of domestic price inflation and to the loss of government services agencies and their services and programs for the benefit of the public overall, including an array of public and separate consumer protection services, and the social safety net programs for the underclass and possibly at the loss in the sell off to big-money lobbying and crony interests of federal government, nationally and commonly taxpayer-owned, lands, with the invaluable assets therein and thereon, and other highly valuable national assets of all kinds.

Greed is insatiable and is ruthless, rapacious, barbarous and cannibalistic. Perceive, comprehend and remember the living, unfolding lesson of the returning reign of the cult and regime of greed, whoever can.

The Inadvisability of MAGA-Initiated International Trade Warfare Tariffs


Inadvisability of MAGA-Initiated International Trade Warfare Tariffs

Ultimately, Tariffs on Products of Exporter-Suppliers Sold to Importer-Retailers Are a Pass-on Sales Tax on and Raise the Prices on Those Products Sold by Importer-Retailers and Purchased by Domestic Consumers

Some of the top and obvious marketplace ramifications of the economic mechanics of the imposition of tariffs on imports from China and other [major] export-import competitor nations:

PRC China and the other major nation-state export-import competitors targeted, and their business products punished, with US tariffs on their exports to, imports by US re-sellers into, the US will balance and cancel out the effect of the US tariffs with corresponding, or correspondingly higher, rates-of-charge counter, retaliatory tariffs of their own on US exports to their nations, compared to zero or lower tariff rates-of-charge on imports from respectively zero-tariff and lower-tariff imposing nations. Prices of imports, including components, parts and raw materials, in addition to semifinished and finished products, for all affected lines of products, will increase, and probably comparatively rapidly or abruptly sharply spike for and between the tariff dueling nations. Particularly the smaller producer, and/or lesser international and optionally domestic, market-share and import-beneficiary retailer and consumer, export nation would most lose, though both might lose lopsidedly overall, international consumer market share, reduced domestic consumer purchases, along with net-effect purchasing power with regard to their household and business enterprise incomes, and reduced retailer sales and profitability and consequential, in the aggregate, reduced import-export business sector earnings as well as earnings, or returns, to their investors, as in the import-export sector of the US economy. If importer-retailers absorb the tariffs in whole or large part, they will reduce their profit margins and profitability or do worse to themselves. This economic scenario in the USA would result in widespread business failures and staid acutely diminished sales, revenue and profit declines in the import-export sector of the economy, including for major street, mall and online retailers, and in the respective full unemployment for some and substantial reductions in employment for others of their workforces of import businesses. Housing, automobile, grocer, banking, lending and credit, church tithing, charitable donations and political contributions, among other sectors of the US economy, would be economically hurt by income losses by the import-tariffs' related and driven downturn (in financially weakened going concerns, insolvencies and mass unemployment and reduced employment of business significantly tied to and dependent on imports, especially normally price-cheap imports) in the US economy.

However, when imports constitute the dumping of products at or below the cost of their production, whose effect is or credibly potentially is to harm systemically the viability of an industry or producer-market segment of the receiver nation, then reasonably such imports should be banned if they are not essential to or required for the production needs of domestic producers and the supply of the same kinds of products by domestic suppliers is insufficient. If they are so needed, then tariffs should be levied on them to make their retail prices match the average, above-average or top price of the concerned products found across major or all world markets. Otherwise, when imports, by exporters, with bona-fide prices episodically or in an overall continuum flood the domestic market, import quotas can be set on them and punitive tariffs can be levied on them, per type of product and supplier, with offender suppliers subject to being suspended for a term from exporting directly or indirectly through proxies, on a case-by-case basis rather than doing the same against the export products in large measure or wholly of a foreign nation or its producers in order to protect the solvency, viability and marketplace competitiveness of domestic producers, while averting inter-nation mutually economically damaging trade wars. By law, anti-monopoly or -quasi-monopoly and anti-collusion regulated domestic and international competition between and among similar businesses constrains runaway price rises and inflation to the benefit of consumers and, ideally, bolsters a maximum of market-share participants and stakeholders within and across the different industries and types of business as well as supports the extensive spread or distribution of wealth, and its non-concentration in a relatively few, among the citizenry.

The practical and ethical economics rules and conventions applicable to and operative in the trade relationships between and among advanced technocratic and industrially developed nations do not apply as much with second and apply minimally with third tiered techno-industrially developed, or moderately and weakly developed, nations, as they put the natural resources and largely tenuous employment and subsistence financial means of the populations of the two latter economic and trade tiered nations at high susceptibility to peril and grave economic depredation by first and second tiered such nations. In trade relations of any and all import and export trading nations, of all tiers, in quarterly, semi-annually and annual net revenue and profit results, or proportionally for these based on the sizes of the economies of competitor nations, there will be a hierarchy of best to least achieved performer nations, in which first tiered nations overwhelmingly will tend to be the best materially and in knowledge and skills equipped and productive nations in making and supplying products and in being durably the best performers and most resilient, with fluxes in performance ranking among them in performance reporting cycles, to recovering from slumped or poor performance and remaining competitive within first tiered competitor nations, whereas third tiered nations would not be significantly capable of buying up resources and companies as well as buying off the top and important but lesser governance officials of first or second tiered nations, unlike vice versa for first and less so for second tiered nations of third tiered nations, whose nations, respectively, would be able or better able to also largely economically colonize and devastatingly prey upon or parasitize, even by outright violence, national-forever-debt-slave foreign loans, pretender-righteousness color coups and figurehead, political puppet leaderships, on third tier nations. This latter situation is the case, especially against some Central and South American nations and the nations of black Africa, what is left of Africa as black Africa, inching toward going the way of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, etc., though by colonizers and re-settlers who are alien people to Africa from a variety of outside-of-Africa ancestral lands. Rankings in inter-nation and international trade achiever-performance positions among first-tier trade nations will inevitably shuffle and change over the financial performance reporting cycles and across the years -- in democratic trade relationships between these, there can be no monopoly nation or permanent or lasting solo same dominant nation.

We must be proactively mindful of both Murphy's law and the Peter principle, or woe betide us like with the Covid-19 pandemic and its havoc on the US economy and economies of the other major nations of the world of humanity: Economic policy of the first Donald Trump administration - Wikipedia , Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years — ProPublica , Trump’s Trade Wars with China and Europe Have Made Bad Agriculture Policies Worse (foreignpolicy.com) , Trump Tariffs & Biden Tariffs: Economic Impact of the Trade War (taxfoundation.org) , Did Trump’s tariffs benefit American workers and national security? (brookings.edu) , How Trump’s Tariffs Really Affected the U.S. Job Market | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace . 

     The adverse economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic muddled the distinction between them and the mounting and concurrent adverse effects on the US economy of the first Trump Presidency's wide-ranging tariffs on imports. Strongly indicated within the writings of the aforementioned citations is that former POTUS Trump was more interested in and focused on the circa $79,000,000,000.00 that his tariffs generated than the short-term circa well more than $400,000,000,000.00 in business and job income losses in the US economy, apart from their longer-term losses, that resulted from his concurrent Covid-19 initially mismanaged pandemic and policy of large tariffs on imports, especially those exported from China, and loss of the export of US agricultural products by the agricultural sector of the US economy to China.

Considering that past behavior, unless redemptively or corruptively modified in the interim for better or worse, is the best predictor of future behavior, here is a click-on news commentary of warning on the US economy by a reputable and credible financial market expert of what may credibly come to pass for the US economy under the new, second Trump Presidency, of whom the first Trump Presidency left the dream economy it inherited from the Democratic Party Obama Presidency totally wrecked, for which the MAGA portion and a significant politically mixed other portion of the voting electorate forgetfully, ignorantly and facetiously blamed its/his successor Democratic Party Biden Presidency for it, whereas the Biden Presidency restored in full the US economy and, along with the Federal Reserve Bank, its inflation rate down to virtually the default minimal inflationary interest rate of 2%, and, moreover, made the US economy the currently leading economy in the world — though it did not restore prices to those of the pre-inflationary period preceding the soaring price inflationary period, which historically has never happened, brought about by the first Trump Presidency and whereof then President Trump, before he took office as US president in his first term, had a history of various of his businesses having been in bankruptcy 6 times and himself of having been successfully sued for legally liable financial misconduct against others, Anthony Scaramucci Predicts a Market Crash Under Trump — Here’s How To Prepare If He’s Right (yahoo.com) .

Tariffs do not take place in a one-way action environment and relationship with other nations and the nations of the world, as in one of negative output and impact on others by oneself without a return, or response, and impact action, or counteraction, on oneself from and by negatively affected others by oneself, the initiator-instigator of the negativity or negative exchange and transaction relationship. We must remember that indeed tariffs ultimately are a sales tax, passed by the exporter-suppliers onto the retailers and consumers of the imports, which hikes the costs and prices of the imported, if all not all, by side effect, products and services for sale.

The Main Real Reason for Why Donald Trump Was Elected US President and VP Kamala Harris Was Not in the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election

 

The Main Real Reason for Why Donald Trump Was Elected US President and VP Kamala Harris Was Not in the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election


The main reason for Donald Trump’s election as US president in the US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024 is the rampant lie that Trump and the MAGA mass media propagated that businesses and the households of the USA were economically better off under the Trump Presidency than the following Biden Presidency, whereas in fact that of Trump's mismanaged Covid-19 pandemic crisis resulted in the collapse of the US economy overall, including mass business losses in income and profitability and in failure closures, worker unemployment, residential dislocations, extreme shortages in groceries supply and in sparce and empty groceries shelves, etc., in grocery stores and soaring inflationary, intractable high prices on virtually all products and services beginning for virtually the whole year of 2020 of the Trump Presidency.

As newly elected and inaugurated US president in January of 2017, Trump inherited the dream economy of and from the outgoing Obama Presidency, in which now US President Joe Biden was vice president. When Donald Trump takes office as newly elected US president again in January of 2025, Donald Trump will again inherit the best performing economy of the nations of the world, restored by the Biden Presidency from the economic shambles left by the previous Trump Presidency, though voters largely, in the majority, wrongly and ignorantly blame the Biden Presidency for the soaring inflationary high prices and increased such rates initiated in the previous Trump Presidency, rates of inflation the Biden Presidency along with the Federal Reserve Bank have driven down to the normal 2% per annum rate, though not the increased prices, which historically never return to the lower prices of a past, pre-inflationary period, and employment, and business as well as the stock market performance, plus, have risen stably to record levels and prices have steadied under the Biden Presidency.

Trump and the MAGA GOP will claim ownership and credit for the good economies Trump inherits as US president and blame, as may an amnesiac majority of voters, his successors for the wrecked economies he and his presidential team leave to his successor [clean-up] presidents of the USA. Based on my reading, listening and viewing of the mass media news reports on the US presidential election before and since election day of 11-05-2024, pre-election [public opinion or political] polls consistently found that the majority of eligible voters consistently rated Donald Trump and his presidency a better manager of the economy than Joe Biden and the Biden presidency and in the 2024 US presidential election exit polls of voters, a majority of the voters surveyed [delusionally] said explicitly or to the effect that they voted for Trump because prices were too high and unaffordable under the Biden Administration and that they were [economically] better off under Trump (and the GOP) than Biden (and the Democrats) as president.

When US presidential candidate Trump threw out his vote-getting (for attracting to him millions of more voters) political dog-bone, vote-bait, promises, successively in the few months before the presidential election, of no taxes on tip income, Social Security pensions and overtime pay, I knew they made him formidable, across most voter demographics, regardless of any bad he said or did at any time. Probably, in view of the stated foregoing informational context, a majority of folks, across the demographic categories -- with Trump peeling off record percentages of Latino and Black males, less concerned about female reproductive rights or even protecting democracy, as a priority issue, than their personal economic considerations, and Native Americans, as well as probably Social Security pension retirees and those, men as well as women, near retirement (also having little vested concern in the reproductive rights of young females) in increased support — voted for Trump because they thought he offered them a better, juicier deal personally-economically than VP Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. Indicatively, personal election-contingent economic considerations were the top priorities deciding the votes of these cross-over, independent and swing voters who voted for Donald Trump.

Apologetically, the relevant news references are not inserted as online hyperlinks or annotated in a list as a matter of selfish convenience to myself, as I have virtually had enough of this matter and for a while want relieved from it. This is a reflective quickie writing.

Political Sleight of Hand and Remember, Remember, Remember Reality, Please, Before It's Too Late — a pre-voting, final-hours updated vitally-important read for voters in today's US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024


Political Sleight of Hand and Remember, Remember, Remember Reality, Please, Before It's Too Late 


— a pre-voting, final-hours updated vitally-important read for voters in today's US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024

Why would an individual pollster and political analyst among many accuse the many others of pressing a finger down on their consensus polling data on the candidates in the US presidential election competition to the favor of Kamala Harris by one point within the margin of error or to show a virtual tie between the candidates and himself contrarily claim a landslide win for Trump? He would do so to get mass attention-grabbing reads of his written election news commentary in major part to temper down the harsh and negative rhetorical attacks, the bad news and bad publicity, against Trump and to have his Trump-favorable commentary and nudging of cautious silence toward Trump viralized. It makes sense that he would be doing this with the ultimate goal in mind of getting the adoption of his controversial, contrarian commentary as belief by much of the public that is followed by its/their sudden mass spread of this maverick conclusion as an expectation that could and might, as a matter of caution and self-concern by others en masse, hush bad publicity and vote-losing rhetorical attacks and endorsements against Trump by socially high-profile figures and organizations of influence otherwise critical of Trump, to a desired significantly beneficial political effect for him in a close election, according to a consensus of the major election polls, in the last few presidential campaign days leading up to the US presidential election of 11/05/2024.

However, it has newly come to my attention in my listening to radio broadcast interviews of objectively-minded political science professors and reputable professional political analysts that other minor, known-MAGA-partisan pollsters have been making the same claim online and in the pro-MAGA broadcasts as that of the hereinabove referred to mainstream election pollster-analyst of a landslide presidential election victory for Trump, a wrong MAGA-partisan private-pollsters polls-based previous election forecast which they (the interviewees) said the same or like folks made in advance, via same communications media channels, of the 2020 US presidential election actual defeat of Trump and win of current POTUS Joe Biden on election day then of 11-03-2020. In essence, they proposed that these dubious private polls of the past may have been the strategic, fallback, motivational groundwork that set the stage in advance of that election for MAGA-movement attempts to overturn it, if it resulted in a defeat of Trump’s reelection bid, which it did, by various means, such as mass mobilization action of aggressive MAGA political activists, legislatively and administratively within GOP-dominated state legislatures and GOP-MAGAs in the houses of Congress and judicially, by state and federal courts, including the GOP-membership-dominated US Supreme Court, all tried but comprehensively failed means to overturn the election of Biden as US president and retain the Trump Presidency. They say, in overall effect, that the Trump-MAGA team have probably learned from this previous thorough failure to alternatively win the US presidency in contravention to traditional federal Constitutional- and statutory-law institutional protocols and means and this time may be using such partisanly private and dubious election polls and bogus forecasts disseminated on online social media platforms and in right-wing mass media broadcasts, such as Fox, etc., as a same fallback strategy in the event of another defeat of Donald Trump in his current 2024 presidential election bid to overturn a win of that election by current US Vice President Kamala Harris but one with a much improved, better and more effective overturn or insurrection “game.”

All the while the Trump campaign and its compatriots on the sidelines, including those in the mass communications media, illusorily misrepresent the former Trump Presidency as having been an economic success story in which business and households were better off then economically than they are now under the Biden Presidency. It is a fallacious good-old-days mirage of a Trumpian national economic success story in that in less than half way into the second two years of Trump's four-year term as US president, our nation, and the nations of almost the whole of humanity worldwide was/were stricken by the Covid-19 pandemic, which was mismanaged by Trump and his presidential administration by first delaying announcing it publicly, then downplaying its significant danger and delaying taking societal action to contend with it nationally until the casualties from it soared, which resulted in a nationwide economic shutdown, a national shortage of toilet paper, the emptying of and lasting shortage in supplies of groceries in grocery stores, comprehensive spikes in the prices of groceries, extending to soaring price inflation, often seller-gouging price push inflation, of nearly all goods and services and retention of increased prices, and in mass job losses and unemployment, all the product of the soaring-inflation, economically failed Trump Presidency, like his past 6 business bankruptcies.

The Biden Presidency has been the rescue and clean-up crew of the dream economy inherited, and trashed, by former POTUS Trump from the Obama Presidency, in which Biden was vice president, and has restored record-level high employment to our nation, competently managed its takeover in handling the national Covid-19 pandemic and phased our nation out of its crisis status, and it, together with the Federal Reserve Bank, has substantially reduced the rate of inflation it inherited from the Trump Presidency.

However, the economist Paul Krugman explained that never following periods of soaring price inflation have prices returned to what they were before the periods of soaring price inflation, which is the way economic history works. Prices returning to what they were before a period of soaring price inflation would not happen (with the somewhat exception of modestly volatile gasoline prices for automobiles in the short term) if our economy were managed by the economic titans of the past Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, John Kenneth Galbraith and Milton Friedman, as well as by the financial titans Mansa Musa, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

It is the deplorables and garbage brains of the Trump team and cult who blame the Biden clean-up crew for the mess the gaslighting, mind-wiping Trump Presidency and political team created by dereliction, mismanagement and incompetent governance and for impossibly not returning the economy's post-inflation higher prices to pre-inflation lower prices. Don’t hold your breath hoping and waiting for the latter to happen.

A demagogue is a person, or plural of such, who uses inflammatory language and actions to socially demonize, and stoke fear, phobia, hysteria and animosity toward and against, different or outsider others as well as to scapegoat another or others -- in effect, undertaking or campaigning to poison minds collectively against them and socially and politically enemyize, disfavor and marginalize them -- so as thereby to exercise and gain or secure mass, or populist, chauvinist influence and power. Ultimately, power is control, which when possessed by a demagogue is disposed to become abused and unaccountable control.

This article also reveals that when Donald Trump was US president, he once remarked to his chief of staff retired US general John Kelly that he needed [Nazi] generals like [Nazi Der Fuhrer] Hitler had [in WWII]. The Bill of Rights Constitutional United States of America needs the kinds of generals, including such as of recently retired, former US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley of our time, and armed forces that the USA and then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt had against and who and which thoroughly defeated Nazi-nation state dictator Adolph Hitler's generals and military, which a US President Kamala Harris (unlike a subversive and traitorous, NAZI-sympathizer Donald Trump) would opt for and have for the USA.

Christianity was an almost entirely pacifist, altruist-love practicing and proselytizing branch (the New Testament) of Judaism founded by Jesus the Messiah and based on his teachings, way of life and the dictums of his afterlife appearances to particularly his apostles Peter and John, of altruistic love, caring mutuality and fellowship among all peoples, all tongues and nations (even in apostle John’s bleak chapter Revelations of the New Testament, Jesus admonishes that those whose names will be written into the book of life (to have heavenly eternal life) will be based on their good deeds). Initially, it was, after the death of Jesus by crucifixion, the Apostolic Universal (Catholic) Church, until it later became the adopted [institutional] religion of the Roman Empire under Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, after which time it became the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Christianity branched from Roman Catholicism; Eastern Orthodox Christianity, including Greek, Coptic, Russian, etc., branched from it long before Protestantism. At root and fundamentally, true Christianity has nothing to do with racial, ethnic or other demographic identity and supremacy nor with provincialism or nationalism of any kind, which are all antithetical to true Christianity. Christianity originated in the Middle East and first spread to Asia Minor, Ionia and Greece, West Asia, Egypt and Ethiopia, not necessarily strictly in that order.

Islam became the predominate religion of these geographies, except for Greece and Ethiopia, as a result of the Arab military conquest of them, and other geographies, following the death of the de-facto first caliph of Islam and Islamic Arabia the Prophet Muhammad, 571 to 632 CE, the founder of Islam and a military conqueror and unifier of Arabia in the decades following the death of his wealthy-merchant, well-educated and highly religious first wife Kadijah bint Khuwaylid, 554 to 619 CE, 17 years older than him and his employer, of a wealthy and powerful merchant Arabian nuclear family and extended family. The Prophet Muhammad left behind himself in life upon his death, as its until then leader, one of the most well equipped, trained, battle-seasoned and powerful of armies in the world. Arabia itself was a province of the western division of the Roman Empire before the fall of the hegemony of the once-mighty western division of the Roman Empire, and its armed forces were well trained and armed by the Roman military long before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. Furthermore, its armed forces were considered formidable by their Roman political-military overlords. But after the fall of rulership jurisdiction of the said Roman Empire, there was infighting within and among the armed forces and warlords of Arabia, until the growing and growingly successful armed forces of the Prophet Muhammad eventually conquered and unified them all under his command and authority, with the political and probable financial help of the family clan of his deceased first wife into which she was born.)

Marketplace Behavioral Choices as an Election Outcome Barometer & Informal Election Voter Poll as Relates to Donald Trump's Recent Major Business Ventures, Cryptocurrency & Truth/er Social, Bode Against His Electability as US President


(Click on the herewith hyperlink to read the news article: Trump Crypto Launch Flops Amid Outage, Doubts (newser.com)


If this bad news on Donald Trump's foray into the cryptocurrency market and the shockingly far-below-expectations, of market analysts, in the resultant actual low level of investment participation in it by the Trump-friendly investor market, as well as that of the recent sharp declines in both the value of the stock and company of his social media platform Truth/er Social (Click-on news-article link: DJT stock: Trump has lost $4 billion in Truth Social wipeout | CNN Business), is or are an election outcome behavioral barometer and informal political-voting trendline poll and thereof harbinger of the strength of support and unity of the GOP and plutocrat-class constituencies and their loyalty and enthusiasm for financially-and-morally-bankruptcy-legacy Donald Trump in actually voting for him (grandpa madman, bully, demagogue, misogynist, sexual-harasser, dirty-old-man-lecher Donald Trump) to be elected US president again (after a hiatus from the US presidency by rejection of him for reelection by a large majority of the votes of the electorate and Electoral College in the 11/2020 US presidential election) in the upcoming 11-05-2024 US presidential election, then I would not bet on his election to that office again or would bet a low-wager-to-high-returns ratio on him being elected or flat out bet against him. Election politics-related behavioral quasi-voting, such as the above referenced marketplace voting, or choosing, may be found to be competitive with traditional expert enterprise political elections polling. We shall know soon.

Moreover, numbers of individual voter, as well as total amounts of, political support contributions of money to competing candidates or referendum/a initiatives are an informal poll and indicator of the electorate's voting choices and majority-choice outcomes in elections, a voting choice indicator that at this time strongly weights in favor of the US Vice President Kamala Harris for US president candidacy according to the following Forbes Magazine news article: Donald Trump V. Kamala Harris 2024: Which Campaign Raised More Money (forbes.com) , .

Perhaps the metamessage of the bad news for these recent major business ventures, trending as misadventures, of Donald Trump is that the large majority of investors, including Republicans, and people in general, don't trust a modus-operandi double-talking unscrupulous and dishonest person with their money, girlfriends, wives and daughters, and votes, and their democracy.

Challenge to GOP Vice-Presidential Candidate Nominee J.D. Vance in the 2024 US Presidential Election

  

Challenge to J.D. Vance:


Identify by name the Democratic Party leader or leaders in elected government office or in the official national, state or local offices or chapters of the Democratic Party who said that Donald Trump must be stopped at any, or all, cost.

5.  (News articles of Donald Trump proposing that he might use federal law-enforcement agencies to prosecute and/or imprison his opponents, or enemies as he views them, as well as reconstitute the US Civil Service by firing thousands of merit-system employees, hired on merit criteria and qualifications, consideration free of political and religious, etc., affiliation, and substantially hiring Trump and GOP loyalists to replace them (the long outlawed spoils system): Trump again suggests he would try to prosecute his political opponents if reelected | CNN Politics  'It's very possible': Trump floats imprisoning his political opponents (nbcnews.com) , Trump wants to fire thousands of government workers.

Non-fraud lying, without a material-loss victim, and lying that is not committed under statutory perjury law with respect to under-oath Congressional, law-enforcement- or judiciary-related testimony are largely not illegal and that is why Trump, the Southern-strategy reformed GOP, with a neo-Confederacy and neo-Nazi constituency faction, and you engage in and rely on it. The purpose of lying is to deceive, dupe and mislead as well as hide, cloud or obscure the truth. 

It is true that Democrat, traditionalist Republican and moderate and liberal independent voters up and down the electorate line have justifiably referred to Donald Trump, and now you J.D. Vance, in view of your recent political history as reported in the cited news above and more as fascistic or believers in autocracy, in the sense of expressing the desire or inclination for yourselves, as candidates for election as US president and vice president in the US presidential election day of November5, 2024, for an anti-US Constitutional authoritarian and dictatorship form of government and that both of you, based on your reported and videoed statements in the news, pose a danger to the USA Of, By and For the People Federal Constitutional Unalienable Democratic Bill of Right Republic form of government.  You now want to shut down that rightful criticism and charge against and earned by Donald Trump and you because it is a threat to the electability of both of you, your US presidential-vice presidential election candidacy ticket, in the upcoming US presidential general election at a time when you can no longer just appeal to your Southern-strategy reformed, Trump-for-dictator personality-cult Republican Party but must appeal to the general electorate and win over substantial votes from it in order to win the 2024 US presidential election.  Donald Trump is even trying to shift his political persona to one of a democratic identity in saying in the news that he took a bullet for democracy.  The criticism and earned charge, with continued and abundant corroboration, will continue permanently.

However, liars can be sued for money compensation for defamation or slander when they knowingly or recklessly publicly make false claims of [serious] misconduct or culpable character against persons or operational entities (bona-fide businesses, organizations, institutions, etc.).

Indeed, Democrats and traditionalist Republicans have sincerely said and continue to say that Trump is unfit in character to hold the national highest leadership government office in the USA of US president and is a danger to democracy in the USA and world, because he as US president in the months of November and December of 2020 and until January 6, 2021, the official Electoral College vote certification day of the 2020 US presidential election by the US Congress, following his failed bid for reelection on US presidential election day of November 3, 2020 against Democrat, former USA V.P. Joe Biden, together with members of his presidential administration, elected officeholders of his political party the GOP in the US Congress and in state governments, as well as private attorneys, attempted to USA unconstitutionally, via USA unconstitutional, USA Congressionally-unlegislated, fabricated extra-legal, sham and scam procedural schemes and insurrectionist terrorist mob incitement against the US Congressional chambers and his own GOP V.P. Pence, to retain the USA presidency for him/self, Trump, despite a fair and free 2020 US presidential election that  rejected power-intoxicated and addicted wannabe dictator Donald Trump. His appointed US attorney general, a Republican, investigative assistant or district US attorneys general, Republicans, DHS chief of federal elections oversight, a Republican, and federal court judges, Republicans and Democrats, all determined that the 2020 USA presidential election was virtually without fault, in having typically very few and insignificant in number instances of voter fraud and vote handling misconduct. Nevertheless, to the present time, Trump and his loyalists campaign falsely on the claim that the 2020 presidential election win of Biden was rigged against and stolen from him, Trump. Trump has also spoken publicly of suspending the USA Constitution, our every-citizen, egalitarian, democratic-rights Bill of Rights supreme law of the USA the USA Constitution and of wanting to be dictator of the USA for a day and to the effect of weaponizing law-enforcement agencies of the federal Civil Service against his enemies, apparently criminal and civil prosecutors, exposers, critics and bad-news and -PR journalists and press of his crime-grime-and-slime misdeeds. And Trump, whose gun-fire attacker on Saturday, July 13, 2024, was a registered member of the Republican Party, the Trump-led Republican Party, has publicly repeatedly suggestively threatened and encouraged violence against individuals, like saying former chairman of the USA armed forces’ Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley should be executed for treason, and like saying to the effect that there could be en masse political violence in reaction to his criminal trials as well as a loss by him in the 2024 USA presidential election (pending news verification, which is crowded out with news on the mentioned gun-fire attack on him, except for this one damning news item, https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/blame-abc-news-finds-17-cases-invoking-trump/story?id=58912889 ).

There is an abyss more to upload to public memory about the long trail of grotesque misdeeds and bad character of Donald Trump and his presidency, and its afterward chapter, which I will leave to others to do as I have little tolerance for and patience to even think about him and the yucky mess that he is.

The Genocide of the People of Palestine Before Our Wide-Open Watching Eyes

 The Israeli armed forces war in Gaza is observably primarily, in actions and effect, a genocidal and terroristic ethnic-cleansing war against the unarmed, innocent [Palestinian] population of Gaza and very much less in impact and efficiency, except in PR sloganeering as a rhetorical facade and disguise (accompanied by a literal smokescreen of bombardment, artillery and infantry blasting away of the lifelines, infrastructure and housing and community-wide building-scape, as well as the decimation, at times gratuitously by Israeli infantry troop, of the unarmed, innocent civilian population, mothers and children and the age range of youth and adults of both genders, of Gaza, to get rid of all of the Gazans), a war by the government of Israel, as it has declared, against the Hamas militia based in Gaza, members of which conducted the 10-07-2023 massacre of circa 1,200 persons and hostage-taking of circa 240 Israelis and visitors to Israel in Israel, Israel revises down its death toll from the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7 : NPR . Initially, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu et al. government of Israel in effect attributed guilt by ethnic association (ethnic relatedness) to and therefore deserved Israeli military collective punishment of the unarmed, nonparticipatory, in regard to the Hamas attack, innocent whole [Palestinian] population of Gaza. Assigning collective guilt and dispensing collective punishment to uninvolved people for the criminal transgressions of others because of their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, etc., coincident with that of a guilty party or parties is against international law, including the laws of war, Collective punishments | How does law protect in war? - Online casebook (icrc.org) , Customary IHL - Rule 103. Collective Punishments (icrc.org) . Nevertheless, despite being reminded of this by the UN and relevant legally expert others in the international mass news and communications media, the government of Israel tried in a PR propaganda mass-media news campaign, especially in the USA and Europe, to conflate and equate the unarmed, innocent civilian population (Palestinians) of Gaza with Hamas for the alleged war-crimes actions of an Hamas militia commando group's attack on people in Israel, and ordered the departure of the whole civilian population of northern Gaza to relocate to southern Gaza within impossibly 24 hours (Latest updates: More than 1 million Gazans flee, brace for Israeli offensive : NPR , Israel orders 1.1 million people in Gaza to move south: What to know | United Nations News | Al Jazeera , Why Israel’s Gaza Evacuation Order is So Alarming | Human Rights Watch (hrw.org)), and solicited Egypt and wrote a plan for other Islamic and Arab nations to accept much or all of the Gazan population as refugees (Israel Quietly Pushed for Egypt to Admit Large Numbers of Gazans - The New York Times (nytimes.com , An Israeli ministry, in a 'concept paper,' proposes transferring Gaza civilians to Egypt's Sinai | AP News ), An Israeli ministry, in a 'concept paper,' proposes transferring Gaza civilians to Egypt's Sinai | AP News ), a scam pressure tactic to try to panic the whole Palestinian population to urgently rush to flee Gaza by every means into the Sinai Desert of Egypt and for Egypt and the other Arab nations to accept them as refugees in response to this Israeli government contrived and forced flee-or-die emergency order. When this ethnic-cleansing tactic and trick, Oxford Public International Law: Ethnic Cleansing (ouplaw.com) ,  United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect , by the Netanyahu et al. government of Israel failed to induce by fear of death by war the rushed exodus of the whole Palestinian population from Gaza and its emergency self-deportation as refugees to Egypt and other Arab nations and the latters’ acceptance of the Gaza Palestinians as refugees did not happen and its pressure tactic order was widely criticized initially as an unrealistic, preposterous and, by international law, an illegal ethnic-cleansing order, over the period then and thereafter, leadership members of the government of Israel, present and past, publicly made references, recorded and reported in the news media, 1., as to the acceptability of the extermination of the whole civilian population of Gaza as well as to historical precedents of the ancient reportedly divinely decreed annihilation by the Israelites of the Amalekites, one of the Canaanite indigenous ethnic or extended tribal people of the land of Canaan, the predecessor ethnic land to those of ancient Israel and Palestine, seized in major part by war by the ancient Israelites as the Promised Land given to them according the scriptures of their writing by their G/god (My G/god gave me your land and house; see, it says so in the holy, divinely inspired, of me, according to me, scriptures I wrote.), who indicatively were attempting to harass the Israelite invaders out of their homeland territory of Canaan, 2., the WWII bombardment destruction of the German city of Dresden by US armed forces; and, 3., the, needless, military field demonstration atomic-bomb bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the USA as justifications and comparable militarily acceptable means for their desired allowable extermination of the innocent [Palestinian] population of Gaza Palestine. Further, one official said that it was okay to kill them all because they are human animals, another official said that it was okay to kill them all because they are all guilty and its PM et al. solicited and offered arrangements to selected foreign governments for the summary deportation of the civilian population of Gaza to their nations, to other Arab nations and the war-torn nation of Congo in Africa. They also said that they, the government of Israel, would, and it did, shut down and shut off all of the basic resources and infrastructure, of human and biological survival, the lifelines, to Gaza and its population -- water, electrical power and household, building generally and vehicle petro fuel, and food, but in actuality medical supplies too and disruption and destruction of the water, sewage and fuel pipeline delivery systems, 70%-plus, and increasing, of all homes and buildings, almost, if not, all schools, housed businesses, mosques, government buildings, 100% of universities, and almost all hospitals and medical facilities.

The large majority of fatalities and wounding, maiming, dismembering, crippling and disfiguring casualties of this war have been and continue to be the unarmed, innocent population of Gaza, mothers, children, youth, the elderly, disabled, infirm, women and men, Palestinian and international journalists and UN and other humanitarian workers. UNRWA NGO historical and long-term humanitarian aid services operations in Gaza have been downscaled to almost nothing with the Netanyahu government of Israel freezing its bank account/s and many international donors reactively and abruptly terminating or suspending financial support to UNWRA based on the unproven allegation of the Netanyahu et al. government of Israel that, first, 12 of UNWRA’s workers, of its total workforce of circa 13,000 personnel in Gaza, collaborated or worked with or were members of Hamas, Israel releases names and details of alleged involvement of UNRWA employees in October 7 attacks | CNNIsrael releases names and details of alleged involvement of UNRWA employees in October 7 attacks | CNN , Israeli intel shows 10% of UNRWA workers in Gaza have ties to terror groups -- report | The Times of IsraelIsraeli intel shows 10% of UNRWA workers in Gaza have ties to terror groups -- report | The Times of Israel , US intelligence casts doubt on Israeli claims of UNRWA-Hamas links, report says | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian , and when this unproven figure was criticized internationally, by significant independent persons and organizations and spokespersons of or within some governments, as not justification for defunding UNWRA and banning its charitable aid services to the Palestinian people, the government of Israel changed the number of UNWRA collaborators. etc., with HAMAS to circa 400 or more.
Israeli combat attacks, aerially and by artillery, snipers and troops on food trucks and civilians going to them for food have been recurrent and recurrently documented and reported, to no effect in ending them ( Flour massacre: How Gaza food killings unfolded, and Israel’s story changed (msn.com) ). They are in major part meant to discourage and inhibit (deter by intimidation, with real victim, casualty examples) the food truck delivery drivers and their civilian Palestinian food-aid recipients, by their [induced] conditioned and learned fear and expectation of the threat of death and wounding, by recurrent casualties among them from past recurrent Israeli military weapons fire upon them (food-aid trucks and Palestinian food-aid recipients), from respectively rendering and receiving US, UN and double-dealing official Netanyahu et al. Israeli government okayed (but indicatively unofficially and in practice disapproved by the Netanyahu et al. government and armed forces of Israel) and permitted food truck deliveries to the intended Palestinian population of Gaza. These Israeli armed forces attacks on food-aid delivery trucks and Palestinian food recipients meeting up with them ultimately are done so that the Gazans will en masse, in their fear and despair, cower and passively starve, dehydrate and emaciate to death or commit -- in their shared-intolerable-circumstances, including the everyday kill off of otherwise witnessing and documenting news journalists, The journalists killed in Gaza and what they tried to show the world - Washington Post , Over 75% of all journalists killed in 2023 died in Gaza war, per CPJ - ICIJ, thereby making the world’s news media reliant on the dubious self-promoting, self-absolving and fraudulent news reports of the Israeli armed forces for the grim and grisly situation and events of their doing and making of the innocent civilian population, essentially the whole population, in Gaza, and such kill off of medical staff and their family members or entire nuclear families, In Gaza, doctors are among the many dead. Here are some of their stories : NPR , ‘Huge loss’: Experienced Gaza doctors killed in Israeli attacks | Israel War on Gaza News | Al Jazeera , In Gaza’s collapsing health system, deaths are slow, painful and often preventable (nbcnews.com) , 300 health workers reported killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza exceeds all countries in conflict combined in any year since 2016 - Latest News & Developments - Medical Aid for Palestinians (map.org.uk) , which is intimidating and a deterrent to Palestinian and international journalists and freelance news gatherers in Gaza to collecting news and to medical staff rendering treatment health-compromised and jeopardized people of Gaza -- psychosocial-contagion suicide, as well as for them to die from the bullets and bombs from the Israeli armed forces and their ravages-of-war-precipitated territory-wide miasma of disease, sickness, and harsh health debilitating, unsheltered exposure to rain, cold and freezing (hypothermia) and overheating environmental and weather conditions.

Israeli soldiers have detained and subjected masses of Palestinian civilians to public nudity, humiliation and physical abuse and violence (torture), What Israeli Soldiers’ Social Media Videos in Gaza Reveal - The New York Times (nytimes.com) . In the early days of Israel’s war against Gaza, supposedly and in name and by slogan its war against Hamas, the government of Israel said that its armed forces did not bomb a hospital that was bombed, but after the controversy of that incident subsided and the world’s public became desensitized and accustomed to such bombing, the armed forces of Israel serially blasted away short of all of the hospitals and possibly clinics in Gaza as well as mosques, schools and universities, etc., Israel’s Controlled Demolitions Are Razing Neighborhoods in Gaza - The New York Times (nytimes.com) , How war destroyed Gaza’s neighbourhoods – visual investigation | Gaza | The Guardian , How Israel has destroyed Gaza’s schools and universities | Israel War on Gaza News | Al Jazeera , How Gaza’s hospitals became battlegrounds (cnn.com) , Gaza homes, schools and medical institutions flattened by Israeli airstrikes, Palestinian authorities say (cnn.com) , In the ruins of Gaza, children are starving to death and there's no cease-fire in sight (nbcnews.com) , Israel ramps up attacks in Gaza, striking schools, hospitals and mosques | Israel War on Gaza News | Al Jazeera , and said that it was not blocking food delivery trucks or convoys of them to Gaza, yet regularly has been accused of limiting at times or blocking them at times, or their numbers in size and frequency, or completely, as well as of shooting at the delivery trucks and aid recipients when the trucks are in and rendering or attempting to render aid to recipients in Gaza, the most egregious of these so far occurring on 02-29-2024, Flour massacre: How Gaza food killings unfolded, and Israel’s story changed (msn.com) , UN experts condemn Israeli ‘massacre’ of Palestinians collecting flour | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian , Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident - Wikipedia , Israel-Gaza war: More than 100 reported killed in crowd near Gaza aid convoy (bbc.com) , UN experts condemn ‘flour massacre’, urge Israel to end campaign of starvation in Gaza | OHCHR , . The longer the war continues under these conditions of deprivation of water, food, heat, shelter, sanitation and hygiene, medical care and supplies, all charitable aid services (of the UN, UNWRA & other NPOs and NGOs, by shooting and bombing their personnel and destroying their storage, or warehouse, and service facilities, UNRWA: What we know about Israel’s allegations against UN staffers in Gaza | CNN , ), etc., 24/7 military assault, habitation demolition, and social and environmental miasma and disease and sickness affliction and contagion, the more on increasingly enlarging scales will be the mass deaths of the population of Gaza, with, in the absence of outsider intervention to relieve these conditions, the overwhelming or virtually entire death, by gradual multi-means genocide, of the indigenous people, the Palestinians, of Gaza inevitably will occur.

Unarmed individuals attempting to surrender or make white-flag peace gestures, with their arms and hands unthreateningly and harmlessly raised up above their heads, to Israel soldiers have been intentionally shot to death by Israeli soldiers. One Israeli soldier was documented in the mass news media to have bragged about the valuables he had accumulated in Gaza during the Netanyahu et al. government’s evident two-purposed war of genocide and ethnic cleansing in and on Gaza, Palestinians claim Israeli soldiers are stealing cash, jewels and artefacts in Gaza (inews.co.uk) , Israeli soldiers boast about looting from Gaza | Newsfeed | Al Jazeera , How looting by Israeli soldiers in Gaza is widespread (newarab.com) .

All of this is done behind the mantra by the government of Israel that Israel is in a war against Hamas, which attacked and killed 1,200 people, allegedly raped and sexually assaulted some females, and kidnapped circa 240 hostages in and from Israel and that Israel has a right to defend itself, by destroying the military infrastructure and ability of Hamas to carry out future attacks on Israel, as well as to completely destroy Hamas in retaliation for the 10-07-2023 attack in Israel, while primarily relentlessly destroying the habitability and fixed and mobile lifeline infrastructure of the whole of Gaza and decimating and wreaking havoc and horror on the bodies and health, continuously, of the whole civilian population of Gaza, rendering Gaza a genocide and ethnic-cleansing internment camp, a death camp prison of the 2.3-million person population, at the macabre and bloody hands and souls of the Netanyahu et al. government and the armed forces of Israel.

Israel was created by terrorist guerrilla and open war in 1947 and 1948 culminated from multi-decades-long migration, 1899 to 1947, of Zionist Jews from Europe, in accordance with the Theodor Herzl Zionism plan, his ‘The Jewish State' book, concept and plan, to what was [greater] Palestine, the Holy Land, theretofore populated by a majority of Muslims coexisting for centuries in peace with minority Christian and indigenous Jewish populations. Initially the Zionist Jewish migrants to Palestine were welcomed there until 1917. But the discovery then by the indigenous sociopolitical leaders of Palestine as to what Zionism and its objectives in Palestine were, led to political controversy and outbreaks of periodic social turmoil and brawls in Palestine involving the Zionist Jews and indigenous Arab-Palestinian inhabitants of Palestine. Britain, the premier world military and imperial power in 1899, and for a long time before, and a prime such world power in 1917 when it officially and publicly declared its support for the Zionist cause in 1917, pursuant to the British Balfour Declaration, a British government position and announcement that uncertainly in their making may have been influenced by British Jewish banker Lord Lionel Walter Rothchild, a Zionist cause leader in Britain at the time, Balfour Declaration | History & Impact | Britannica , while it militarily and administratively governed Palestine in 1917 until 1948, and militarily trained and armed the Zionist immigrants to Palestine, who in guerrilla warfare turned on British authorities there in 1947 in their eager quest to establish for themselves the independent nation-state of Israel. The Zionists and indigenous Jews constituted circa 32% of the population of Palestine when the Zionists established the nation-state of Israel in 1948 and were granted 40% of its land and officially recognized by the UN, but the Zionists of newly established Israel took circa 78% of formerly [greater] Palestine and slaughtered but mostly deported the indigenous Palestinians from the land, homes and built communities the Zionists took from them for their nation-state of Israel (dramatically proving true by overkill the saying “Give them and inch and they will take a mile.”). Even right now and daily, the nation of Israel has attempted, illegally in violation of international and disregard of UN resolutions of condemnation of it doing so, to settle the remnants of Palestine, the West Bank and Gaza, with Zionist Jews from Israel and the world's Jewish diaspora, but with major complications concerning Gaza and incrementalism involving the West Bank. Its Zionist religious and secular Zionist-Jewish chauvinists have declared it their intention to eventually settle and take into the nation-state of Israel all of remnant Palestine.

From the guerrilla-war beginnings of the state of Israel, Zionist Israel has been, with the help of its financial and media influence diasporic network in the Western world, dishonorable and a mendacious kleptocracy, and brazenly racist (having been politically, ideologically, economically and militarily the close ally of the former minority white-supremacist-ruled, apartheid regime of South Africa, and the real antisemite against the historically Semitic indigenous Arabized and Arab-Palestinian people of Palestine, Semite | Definition, Peoples, & Facts | Britannica , Semites - Oxford Reference (scientifically-linguistically, Semitic applied to a language family and less so the members’ highly dissimilar West Asian, Middle Eastern and Ethiopian cultures) , the historically Semitic indigenous people of Syria and Iraq and possibly Lebanon, whose population, based on genetic testing, is most similar to the exhumed skeletal remains of Canaanites, Ancient DNA reveals fate of the mysterious Canaanites | Science | AAAS , followed by the population of Palestine, with 12% of its population found in genetic testing to be related to the Canaanites, reported in radio news in circa 2017. Even the ancient Canaanites of Canaan (Canaan | Definition, Map, History, & Facts | Britannica ), with Canaan, the land of milk and honey, largely having been seized and resettled by the ancient Israelites, were authentic indigenous Semitic people. However, by mass media psychology, Israel, through its Western worldwide Zionist-Jewish diaspora supporters of political and communications media influence, has appropriated by mass-media marketing psychology and political manipulation, the term Semite to apply to Jews, including Israelis, exclusively since the 1940s, to Jews who by culture and tradition in the majority are from Europe and phenotypically and linguistically, including Yiddish, and European and not Semitic, whereas the minority Hebrew speaking indigenous Jewish people of formerly greater Palestine and the Middle East are historical true Semitic people, along with Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians, Palestinians, Arab-Palestinians, Arabs, and probably Lebanese (whose ancestors were the sea people Phoenicians who settled in what is now Lebanon, a branch of which settled in Canaan in the general time frame it was also settled by the Israelites, all linguistically and culturally Arabized and Islamized since the Arab conquest of and following 634 CE of North Africa-plus, the Middle East and West Asia). The Arabs conquerors did not exterminate, as opposed to have, on occasion, exterminated or decimated opposing armies, the people of the lands they conquered and commonly intermarried and interbred with them while, regardless of these, re-socializing them to assimilate the Arab language, religion (but with tolerance for difference religions) and culture. Whereas the Israelites have generally had a taboo against intermarriage with non-Hebrews/Israelites/Jews, apparently the Phoenicians and their offshoot Philistines of Palestine in neighboring Canaan did not. Since the current population of Lebanon is genetically most related to the Canaanites, a Semitic people, historically the indigenous inhabitants of later become Philistia-Palestine and Israel-Judea or vice versa, its population in large part would also be authentically Semitic, as opposed to demographic-identity expropriation Semitic, expropriated by a kleptopathic, genocidal, ethnic-cleansing, self-sanctifying, self-glorifying and self-promoting mass-media-marketing-psychology propaganda nation-state. Again, Philistia-Palestine and Israel-Judea, or vice versa, was originally as a territory named Canaan before the arrival of the Hebrew-Israelites and Phoenician-Philistines to Canaan and its repopulation by them in ancient times. The Palestinian population, or historical Philistines, most probably have remained in the land of Canaan as an the ethnic people by the names Philistines changed to Palestinians since their arrival there during the general same time frame as the Israelites. Although the polity of Philistia was militarily destroyed, the whole of that territory has been named Palestine by the series of its conquerors and hegemons more than it has been named Israel or Judea, until 1948, Palestine Timeline - World History Encyclopedia , Canaan Timeline - World History Encyclopedia .

To the state of Israel, and its partisans, Israel has a right to exist and defend itself but Palestinians and a nation of Palestine, even of remnant West Bank and Gaza Palestine, do not. To the state of Israel and chauvinist Zionist Israelis and Jews, the presence of remnant Palestinian territories and the Palestinian populations in them, if not their also existence, are considered a danger to Israel and to certain powerful Israeli religious and political, probably economic too, interest groups they must go. The history of ancient Palestine or Philistia and the definition and etymology of the word Philistine have been rewritten, in later times to relative I read in my adolescence but the old encyclopedias, dictionaries and history books abundantly still exist broadly for comparison, with the Philistines having been written out of conveniently accessible online current history as having become a vanished people, but replaced by Samarians, hundreds of years after their said total disappearance (the incredible argument and story of a land without a people and people without a land), and Middle Eastern Jews, leaving the white Zionist Jews of European ancestry as the numerically dominant Jews and Israelis and the Jews the sole surviving ethnic people having an ancient historical connection and claim to the land of Canaan and its Canaanites, whom they supplanted (as well as were supplanted and apparently were reproductively absorbed by the Philistines following imperial Egypt’s loss of Canaan as a colony and the Canaanite’ related loss of military protection by Egypt, from invasion and war).

There is an online video account of the history of the Philistines and Palestine and the Palestinians and the distinction and relationship between the former and latter two in which the narrator, with an Israeli accent, identifies himself first as a Greek, posing as referencing a Greek historian account of this subject matter, then as a Palestinian, on an historical point, and at its conclusion as an Israeli, as best as I can recall, or a Jew, supporting the Zionist Israeli historical position and viewpoint. The argument that I have heard, not specifically mentioned in the video, of the chauvinist Zionist settler Jews of current Israel and West Bank Palestine and would-be Gaza Palestine is that all of the Palestinian territories belong the historical Promised Land of Judea or Israel of the Jews and that Palestine and the Palestinians are a fiction and the Palestinians are Arabs who don’t belong in and have an historical claim superseding the Zionist Jewish claim to any part of ancient Israel-Judea other than to the fictional Palestinian territories and should be displaced from those territories and move to Arab nations, and that there is nothing more moral for themselves to do than to fulfill God’s grant to them of the Promised Land, implicitly by whatever the means it takes to do so. They do not want a two state solution of peaceful coexistence between the nations of Israel and new Palestine. From this reference point, it is abundantly evident to me that the Netanyahu et al. government of Israeli’s failure to heed advanced intelligence agency warnings from Egypt twice, the USA and UK and from multiple sources within its armed forces of an indicated impending major Hamas commando attack on Israel and take precautionary defensive action against it, its militarily very slow response time to the attack when it was underway and the IDF gun killings of some of its own citizens during its military response, the later disclosure in the news and acknowledgement by the Israeli news media, with photo evidence and other documentation, that for years the Netanyahu government had allowed large sums of money, military resources and weapons and munitions to go to the Hamas militia in Gaza, as well as itself had supplied Hamas with large sums of money and had intelligence operative liaisons with Hamas, although the armed forces of Israel thoroughly and strictly controlled the borders and all external and internal ingress and egress of transportation and supplies every kind of and involving Gaza, and all of its utilities infrastructure, that the Netanyahu et al. government of Israel clandestinely indirectly and directly capitalized, enabled the arming of and nurtured the Hamas attack and let it occur unfettered for Hamas and that Netanyahu wanted the attack wanted and expected it to create an fierce outrage in Israel and among its ally that would justify not only a war by Israel on Hamas but a war of collective punishment, changed to collateral damage, and destruction on the whole population, habitation and habitability of Gaza to rid it of the whole of its indigenous Palestinian population by siege weapons of war killings, maiming and wounding, etc., starvation, dehydration and emaciation and war-related wasteland and territory-wide lethal miasma and such unsheltered weather conditions as well as to ethnically cleanse them by terrorizing the to deport themselves en masse from Gaza to other Arab nations, excluding to West Bank Palestine.

Why do a large majority of politicians and publicly vocal evangelical religious and big money figures support funding permanently, as well as at all, the nation of Israel with taxpayer money and not a social safety net for financially insufficient US citizens and children, the mentally ill and the homeless, tuition-free post-HS vocational education and training and for securing and sustaining the viability and permanency the Social Security Retirement, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, etc., programs?
