Writing Paralysis

The paralyzed world has infected me; I have writing paralysis.
For decades, I tried, in a small way, to stimulate thought on issues that need urgent attention — foreign policy, Middle East crisis, economics, media, politics, domestic policies.

Articles on an incipient website, Alternative Insight, inaugurated in 1999 and still available after starting a substack two years ago, heralded the battle for Palestinian rights, were widely read, translated into several languages, appeared in other websites ─ in one case up to one hundred in an article, Turbulent Winds of the Last Peace Conference - Annapolis ─ and in several Middle East and Indian newspapers. I sense I did a small part in convincing a multitude of people to support the Palestinian cause. Not just the Palestinian cause — discussions on counterproductive foreign policies, economic fallacies, scientific falsehoods, media fabrications, political and domestic failures. After the many words, conclusions have been reached — most people prefer to have thoughts arranged for them rather than think and prefer to live a betrayed existence rather than an authentic life. The makers and shakers make trouble for everyone and shake at their constantly changing and desperate situations. I witnessed the United States refuse to go from bad to better and insist on going from bad to worse and worse. There is little incentive to project reality in a fictitious world.

Politics
The election of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency demonstrated that thought has no place in the American political system. In the 2016 election, most any known Democrat politician, except candidate Hillary Clinton, a polarizing and disliked figure, would have beaten Trump. More votes for the lesser despised Trump decided the election. Ignoring the previous vice-president, Joe Biden, a sure winning candidate, ignorant Democrats sacrificed the nation to a megalomaniac and permitted a small clique to select the favorite member of their cadre to be their losing nominee.

In the 2020 election, most any known Democrat politician would have beaten Trump, with a caveat; if Biden ran, the ticket warranted a running mate who was an experienced politician of presidential caliber, who could take office at any time, and be a viable candidate in 2024. Disregarding the knowledge that the Dems had a solid majority of the African-American and women votes and did not need to pursue votes from either constituency, the political strategists selected Kamala Harris, an African-American woman. The electorate had previously refused the VP choice, who had enough baggage to prevent an airplane from taking off ─ a certain loser if she ever ran for president. Biden won an election that he would have won with more votes, if he had a Vice-president of recognized ability.

In the 2024 election, any capable Democrat would have beaten the already deposed Donald Trump and any capable Republican would have beaten the comatose Joe Biden. Political strategists tried to prop up the failing Biden and waited too late in agreeing that Biden could no longer deceive the public. By having promoted Kamala Harris as VP, the Dems inherited a losing presidential candidate. The Republican strategists showed equal deficiencies by nominating Trump, who, almost any Democrat, except Kamala Harris, would have beaten

The Democratic Party should have a sign outside its headquarters: NO THOUGHT WANTED HERE.

Middle East
Permission for murderous Zionist Jews to pulverize Middle East populations for decades and commit genocide, as if it were fashionable, is enough to send anyone into mental collapse. I cannot endure another day of this murderous rampage, which has people being termed anti-Semites because they want to protect the Palestinians from the genocide killers. Reading and writing about it is difficult; I need a pause to prevent an emotional breakdown.

The world’s greatest bully, working together with the world’s greatest terrorist nation ─ an axis of two evils ─ declares they are relieving the Middle East of the bullying and terrorist nation of Iran. The Islamic Republic “bully” never warred against another nation and was pushed to commit a few terrorist-like tactics to revenge the dozens of terrorist actions committed upon its citizens and other peoples. Iran has objectionable domestic policies, but they were the last nation standing in the battle against the world’s most despicable tyrannies, deserved support in their efforts, and did not warrant the callous words from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, “There is no reason for us, and also for me personally to criticize what Israel started a week ago, and also no reason to criticize what America did last weekend.”

Who is left to protect us from the madness?

Foreign Policy
U.S. foreign policy evolved from slaughtering Latin and Caribbean peoples for decades, to slaughtering Vietnamese for a few years, destroying the Balkans, slaughtering Afghanis until the military became tired, slaughtering Iraqis until the Iraqis became tired, destroying Libya, and assisting genocidal Israel in ongoing slaughters of neighbors and native peoples. U.S. leaders haven’t learned anything in the last 75 years. U.S. citizens haven’t learned they are electing officials who cannot learn, cannot discern, and are unhealthy to their existence?

Relations between the U.S. and other nations does not consider mutual objectives of sovereignty, cooperation, peace, and reconciliation. The normal tool for achieving objectives ─ clever diplomacy ─ is never approached. The disguised objectives of obtaining U.S. hegemony, control of international markets, and access to limited resources stay hidden. Tools to achieve these objectives are threats and belligerence, masked by an umbrella of hypocritical expressions — spreading democracy, enabling freedom, reducing poverty, and bringing prosperity to the world. Backfire! While other nations progress, the U.S. in the year 2025 of the Trump administration faces faded democracy, disabled freedom, increased poverty, and a potential economic cataclysm that will lead to an escape by war, a prosperity of the dead.

Media
Countering media is punching a paper bag. Truth, honesty, reality, wisdom, reporting…what are those? People want lies, deceit, fakery, nonsense, and disinformation. Competing for eyeballs with Fox News means going lower than Fox News. That is not possible. Fox News is as low as a “news source” can get. There is no way out; so it’s best not to go in.

Entrenched Academia
U.S. universities have entrenched academia that carefully guard their accepted teachings in economics, history, literature, medicine, psychology and other disciplines. Academics invest lives in establishing their teachings and use every method to shield their worn and frayed theories from being exposed. As a result, we learn economic theories that never work in real life, history that barely equates with reality, literature that suits the literary, medicine that gives everyone a need to prevent heartburn, pain, or a nervous breakdown, and a psychology that drives everyone crazy. I examined several accepted economic propositions, concluded each was wrong, sent my clever analysis to 100 university professors for their comments, and received one reply. The analysis might not have been 100 percent correct, but it deserved 100 percent attention. The reason it received scant attention was not because the academics believed it must be wrong; it was because the academics feared it might be right. You can find the clever analysis at Beware of Economic Textbooks

Paralysis
For decades, genocidal Israel has engaged in murder, theft, harassment, subornation, group punishment, invasion of privacy, and almost every criminal endeavor, all in the open for everyone to witness. The Zionist Jews perform genocide as if it were an everyday exercise, just something done during daily activities. At no time has their homicidal rampage been prevented or halted. The oppression has been a unidirectional escapade and the asymptote is getting steeper and steeper. The future portends no change. Something is wrong.

An objective appraisal of efforts surveys the results. A survey shows a significant failure in efforts to help the Palestinian and world communities. I am baffled at the lack of attention given to marshaling the overwhelming population of the world into cohesive and effective organizations that can stop the genocide and bring Israel to the court of justice.

Daily reports highlight what is being done to the Palestinians, riveting narratives of the repressions and violence committed against them. More attention is required to ascertain what can be done for them, preparation of a strategic plan that leads to their liberation and defeat of genocidal Israel. Force is proportional to mass; the mass of Palestinian supporters equates to a mighty force. The world must find a way to harness that mass and direct the accumulated force in a coordinated effort that pulverizes the genocidal architects.

More articles are needed for calls to action, proposals for forming cohesive and effective organizations, for performing purposeful and effective operations, and urgings for additional proposals. More articles are needed to clarify misconceptions, simulate thought of what to do and how to do it, and provoke awareness of the covert operations of the Zionist oppressors. More dialogue is needed that paves a successful path to halting the genocide. In my case, much to my chagrin, there has been no feedback, utilization, or inquiries concerning proposals.

Active and passive resistance, international protests, UN Declarations, boycotts, divestments, silent sanctions, sympathetic words, and anger at Israel’s violent repression have not changed the direction of the struggle. Inability to influence those capable of stopping the genocide and awareness that, after all these decades, the genocide proceeds uninhibited, that the Palestinian community has been essentially destroyed, that there are no barriers to continuous destruction and only efforts to relieve the suffering, is frightening.

Not acting upon small but important considerations has perplexed me.
Implanting in psyches that Israel is a criminal, apartheid, and genocidal nation by inserting one of these adjectives before the word Israel is overlooked. The international Zionist conspirators always use the word “terrorist” before Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, a trick to shape minds into connecting terrorism with the three opponents of criminal Israel. Nobody has bothered to integrate this simple and worthwhile suggestion into writings.

Changing the meaning of the word anti-Semitism defeats the inappropriate use of the word. Hundreds of millions of Arabs are also Semites and suffer magnitudes more discrimination and serious attacks than the relatively few Hebrew Semites. In order not to have any group monopolize the term anti-Semitism, I suggested to use Anti-SemitismA for discrimination of Arab Semites from non-Arabs, Anti-SemitismAA for discrimination of Arab Semites from other Arabs, Anti-SemitismJ for discrimination of Jewish Semites from non-Jews, and Anti-SemitismJJ for discrimination of Jewish Semites from other Jews.

A simple rewriting of the word, such as using anti-SemitismA (discrimination against Arab Semites from non-Arabs) when appropriate, can reshape a new generation's minds, and apply a more honest characterization to the word anti-Semite.

More perplexing is the lack of attention to highlighting essential and misunderstood factors that have shaped the genocide.

To my knowledge, nothing has been done to counter and expose the most serious situation in the United States ─ Zionist infiltration. Almost an estimated one million Israelis live and work overseas. Among the arrivals is a cadre of weaponless soldiers, who behave benign, but are a fifth column, an Israeli propaganda machine that invades U.S. industry, public schools, universities, and institutions. “In 2023, Times of Israel mention approximately 200,000 Israelis who held dual American citizenship. Research done by Princeton University estimates 344,000 Israeli nationals who were also citizens of an EU country.”

Back in 2015, The Liberty Beacon found thirty-three past and present members in federal government administrations, twelve current senators, and twenty-eight Representatives held dual US/Israeli citizenship. Many of these dual citizens are strategically placed and sway the vote to benefit Israel. A number one priority, mentioned often in my columns, receives zero attention.

The continuous mention and concentration of defining Israel as an example of settler colonialism had meaning. Presently, it is counter productive and detracts from more essential definitions. Referring to Israel as a settler colonialist project brings western nations into being accomplices and alienates them from cooperating in defeating Israel. Few in the world care.

Another definition offers a more accurate and meaningful description. Israel is a criminal enterprise. In this case, a specific type of criminal enterprise, known as Raubwirtschaft, German for "plunder economy." Israel has gone further than Raubwirtschaft, using it as a springboard for transnational corruption — having its citizens extend the illicit activities to global networks of money laundering, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and general crime.

Supporting Raubwirtschaft is Israel's Nation State Law, which established a privileged Jewish community, with extension to Jews in other nations, who can align themselves with Israeli society. Israel is an atavistic revival to a tribal form of governance, where borders and boundaries are not fixed. The mythical Joshua, leader of the Biblical Conquest, is brought to life and, with sword and Lord, clears the land for the chosen people.

Israel’s tribal and non-state appearance portends dangerous consequences. What has happened to the “Westphalian system?” Can Pakistan erase its border with Kashmir and hint that Kashmir is part of Pakistan? Will President Putin point to Zionist irredentism and Israel’s tribal appearance as an accepted example of why Russia considers all Russians in the Baltics and Central Asian countries an integral part of the Russian nation? Imagine other minorities in the United States — Mexican, Cuban, Chinese, and Russian — gaining dual citizenship and using their birth nation to promote their adopted nations. Are we going back to tribal rule?

Show the world population and its leaders the real Israel and how it affects their lives and they might react to its criminal nature.

Israel’s dilemma has been how to construct a racially pure state and extinguish the Palestinian presence in the country without the world noticing the genocide. It has found the solution and the world takes little notice.

My dilemma, as well as that of others, is how can I continue to write when the world takes no notice?

It never rains in Palestine,
Soil is watered from tears of those who, for generations, attended and nourished the ground.

Villages don’t speak in Palestine,
They whisper through trees that were planted to hide their now silent beauty.

People don’t live in Palestine.
Palestine lives in the body and soul of people.

There will never be an Israel.
There will always be a Palestine.
