Never thought I’d live to see the day when someone on SDF quotes NGA.

From a podcast er i listen to.

Netanyahu might actually be a bit strapped for cash (especially legally obtained cash).

So, taking his dirty laundry to get washed for free in the white house, we'll it's something he can do lol (don't underestimate the cost of washing, especially with more expensive clothing).

Then why doesn’t he just launder the money? Much lighter in weight and has a much more positive connotation.

Just testing out what the current white washing capacity is at the moment in the US.
Im sure once Israel will try to take on Hezbollah plus Iran, a lot of money needs to be white washed like with Ukraine. Im sure there's no more FTX out there right now to help with that.

It wasn't too long ago where Pinoys made fun of the floodings in parts of China as some sort of divine punishment from their god. Not realizing that their god is an equal opportunity punisher.


On a personal note: I hope that a lot of those folks are safe especially to @ansy1968 since he is in the capital city itself that's majorly affected by the flooding.

Addendum: Bong Bong Marcos Jr. is a comedian of the highest order:




And where's THE U.S. MILITARY helping the afflicted communities since it's ONE OF THE KEY rationale for opening more EDCA military bases.

Thanks bro, I'm dry and safe, I purchased and live in a Condo after experiencing the same traumatic event during Typhoon Ondoy, where the flood water is at chest deep, damaging my home and four of my vehicle.

This flood is far worst covering 80% of the metropolis, there are 4 major reason

1) the amount of continuous rainfall though less than Ondoy (455mm vs 324mm) BUT the duration lasting 22 hours compare to 6hours.

2)unrestricted urban development where creek and watershed had been taken by greedy developers to build their Condos.

3)undiscipline illegal settlers and NO waste segregation program.

4) And lastly the massive land reclamation in Manila Bay, the natural water outflow to the sea had been block.

Hearing netanyahu's speech, the way US politicians cuck themselves for Israel to the point of slavery will always remain a mystery.

What mystery?

Maybe the most impressive statistic: 50% of all campaign dollars donated to the Democratic Party are from Jewish funders, while 25% of donations to the Republican Party are provided by Jewish contributors. Take as an example, among the top 50 donors to the 2016 campaign, 11 of the top 14 Democratic Party contributors were Jewish, while 9 of the top 36 Republican supporters identified as Jews.[14]

The high-end Jewish political donors play a profoundly important role in national political campaigns. This is borne out by a Times of Israel report identifying the 25 largest contributors of whom 15 are Jewish.[15] The five most significant Jewish political supporters are posted below, based on this September 2020 analysis:

· Tom Steyer: $54 million to Democrats
· Stephen and Christine Schwarzman: $28.4 million to Republicans and $8,400 to Democrats
· Sheldon (Deceased) and Miriam Adelson: $28 million to Republicans
· Donald Sussman: $22.3 million, $5,600 to Republicans
· James and Marilyn Simons: $21 million to Democrats

Other prominent names on this list included Michael Bloomberg, Jeffrey and Janine Yass, Deborah Simon, Henry and Marsha Laufer, Bernard and Billi Wilma Marcus, Stephen and Susan Mandel, and George Soros.

There are other forms of Jewish giving, including the use of PAC monies. Open Secrets, for example, reported that in 2018 there were some 20 PAC’s (Political Action Committee) supporting pro-Israel candidates. In that year some $15 million in financial support was delivered to candidates. In that report, $9.6 million were directed to Democrats, while Republican candidates and office holders received $5.3 million. J Street PAC, with resources exceeding $4.2 million directed entirely to Democratic Party candidates, and NorPAC providing nearly $1.9 million in contributions, with 65% earmarked to the Democrats, represented the largest two PAC operations.[16]

----

And let's not forget that a significant portion of the Republican base is composed of Evangelicals, and Born Again Christians which includes a significant number of Dispensationalists i.e. Evangelicals who believe in the Rapture and the necessity of Israel for that event.
They prefer to view themselves through the lens of the Old Testament rather than New Testament, despite declaring themselves as Christians which is unfortunately enabled by Protestant doctrine which allows a Protestant to interpret the (Catholic) Bible completely subjectively.

These people support Israel not for the sake of Israel but rather as means to an end which requires state of Israel to be established in full along with the Temple being rebuilt for Jesus to being rapture.

While these people are nowhere near as generous as the Jewish donors, they are disciplined and motivated to participate in the elections especially the mid-terms which on average have as much as 20% lower turnout compared with the general election, and the primaries which are often only available to registered voters and which determine which candidate will be on the ballot for the election.

Primaries are a powerful tool of political pressure in First Past The Post system because they leverage the most radical and most disciplined voters in a race where spoiler candidates can determine the outcome. If you don't work with the Zionist interest they will fund spoiler candidates in your district and since the primaries tend to have much lower turnout (apart from being already limited to registered members) than mid-terms it becomes very cost-effective to threaten the entire House with a primary loss by funding radical newcomers which costs relatively little but has potential high payout. Ultimately it is not about getting the spoiler candidate elected but forcing the incumbent or candidate to run a campaign, even in a safe district, which costs money which in turns puts that candidate on the phone with the very Zionist interest that bankrolls the primary challenger. And since Zionists are extremely generous and also extremely loyal to their collaborators it usually doesn't take long to come to a mutually beneficial understanding.

American electoral system is determined by disciplined minorities which is why for most seats - especially for US House of Representatives or State legislatures - circumstances money matters more than votes because it's extremely difficult to get a large turnout of moderates but you can always count on the radicals to vote for a sufficiently appealing spoiler candidate. And all you need in FPTP is to lose enough votes that someone has one more than you.

Before the 1990s American political dynamics and electoral positions were nowhere near as skewed toward Zionist interest.It's a relatively recent phenomenon, coinciding with the emergence into the mainstream of "Holocaust industry" (term coined by Norman Finkelstein) in the 1990s which was the consequence of the change in Fatah's stance toward Israel during the 1980s. Since Fatah accepted 1948 borders i.e. de facto accepted Israel's right to exist Revisionist Zionists needed other reasons to legitimise their agenda and the best way was to radicalise the narrative about Israel which is why America suddenly becomes inundated with stories about Israel, Jewish suffering, anti-semitism etc. For example Schindler's list was part of that very process. It was not an incidental choice of subject. There's a reason why when you trace mainstream movies about Holocaust and Israel there's a sudden spike compared to the previous years where the movie industry focused on the experience of American Jews in America.

There's also a lot of political hedging from Israel against the extreme level of dependency that Israel has economically on the US. The US provided financial aid that saved Israel from insolvency in early 1980s and facilitated so much (artificial) investment into the economy that Israel is now a high income country. However that economic capital is completely dependent on Israel's continuing integration into the supportive western (and US primarily) economic system and continued protection by the US. It is too fragile and it could collapse at any time in the event of an actual large-scale conflict involving Israel i.e. against Hezbollah.

Here are my posts expanding on some of those topics from "Israel-Hamas" thread from the first month of the conflict. I recommend that you read them if you haven't already.





And to close it off - here's a post that I wrote on 2nd November 2023, detailing how and why all of IDF reputation is nothing but carefully crafted propaganda and how that must inevitably lend itself to poor results in this conflict:


10 months later I think it's safe to say I was right in my analysis. In fact I wrote another post comparing the recapture of Raqqa and Mosul to Gaza back in October/November 2023 and it took even longer than that.

Anyway, hopefully this was instructive.
