Distractions from Epstein

Is the whole of this mad second term of Trump’s one long series of distractions?

Is Trump really terrified that the whole Epstein files will come out and he will be shown to have a major role?

Is the President really a paedophile and using a series of escalating crisis to distract away from the business?

If he is completely innocent as he professes:

Why has he had the DOJ preventing the release of the files?

Why are so many being held back – seemingly the ones featuring him?

Why is there so much redaction in the ones that have been released?

Is everything else intended as a distraction?

The disruption of world trade with those harmful tariffs?

The threats to Canada and Greenland?

The siding with Putin?

The siding with Netanyahu and destruction of Gaza with its horrendous genocide?

The betrayal of allies?

The attacks on allies?

The illegal abduction of the Nicaraguan President?

The strangling of Cuba?

The war in Iran?

All that stupid business about ending 8 wars and demanding the Nobel peace prize?

The renaming of everything as Trump this and Trump that?

The ballroom?

The betrayal of Ukraine?

ICE and the murder of citizens?

Giving pardons to violent criminals and insurrectionalists?

Is the whole of this rampage and destruction of the world order nothing more than attempting to take attention away from EPSTEIN?

Why haven’t he and Melania been called to give a disposition?

Why has nobody in the States (apart from Maxwell) been arrested?

Is the President running scared about being arrested, tried and locked up?

Is all this really because he is a paedophile?

Or is it just because he is a useless, ignorant narcissist who had surrounded himself with useless, inept sycophants?

What a mess he is making of the USA and the whole world!

Another Fine Mess You’ve Got Us Into!

Christ! This Russian-loving lunatic is destroying everything! He will destroy the USA in the process! We could be heading for a Third World War.

King Trump – The Orange Epstein Reigns!!

It’s like watching the schoolyard bully with nukes!!

Guess who’s in the Epstein files?? Who’s been raping little girls???

Create a distraction!!! But will it last?? How many threats does it take??

Is he going to threaten his chums Putin and Jung Un next? Maybe Xi??

Are the Israeli Government guilty of Genocide?

In my opinion: The Israeli government is a fascist entity, driven by far-right religious fanatics, led by a war criminal, who are racist and the equivalent of Nazis.
The huge number of war crimes against the Palestinians, including indiscriminate shooting, bombing of civilians, missile strikes on hospitals and massive destruction of civilian structures, along with starving children and depriving the population of food and water amounts to GENOCIDE!!!
That is on a par with what the Nazis did in the holocaust!
I am not alone in stating this and that does not make me Antisemitic. I have nothing against Jews.

I cite this:
The question of whether the treatment of Palestinians constitutes genocide is a complex and ongoing debate.
Accusations of Genocide:

Various groups, including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, have declared that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide, citing systematic attacks, dehumanization, and deliberate conditions of life that threaten the survival of the Palestinian people.

Legal Framework: The 1948 Genocide Convention defines genocide as acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. Scholars argue that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza align with this definition, particularly given the mass killings, dehumanization, and denial of basic necessities.

International Response: In January 2024, the International Court of Justice issued a provisional ruling that found there is a plausible right to protection from genocide in Gaza, requiring Israel to take measures to prevent such acts.1
Ongoing Legal and Human Rights Analysis: The UN Special Committee has also reported that Israel’s military actions in Gaza are consistent with the characteristics of genocide, highlighting the catastrophic impact on Palestinian lives.

The situation remains fluid, with ongoing legal and human rights analyses being conducted to determine the extent of these accusations and their implications.

How many journalists has he killed now?

If there is nobody to report you can do what you like.

They are targeting journalists.

The latest figures from the UN say that at least 242 Palestinian journalists have died in the nearly two-year conflict. The death toll has continued to mount in recent months as Israel’s attacks in the war-torn enclave have escalated.

Genocide in Gaza

Last night I listened to doctors talking about the Israeli tactics in Gaza, how they are deliberately starving the people and using food distribution as a way of murdering victims.

According to them the Israelis are then setting up just four aid distribution centres and then deliberately shooting young men. One doctor described how one day they aimed for the head, the next day it was the testicles, the day after the legs.

These soldiers have become so desensitised that killing and maiming Palestinians is a game.

Every day I hear word of more atrocities – babies starving to death, hospitals bombed, deliberate destruction of homes, shooting of innocent civilians, cutting off of water, using food as a weapon, hounding exhausted civilians from one place to another and the torturing of prisoners. One would imagine that survivors of the Holocaust, pogroms and centuries of unjust persecution would be more aware of the need for fairness and compassion. Revenge seems to have turned them crazy.

What Hamas did was atrocious. What Israel is doing is fifty times worse. I fear that Trump’s support of this far-right government is condoning war crimes and genocide.

It’s time the international community stepped in and put a stop to this insult to humanity.

War has rules!

They are clearly laid out in International Laws:

The laws of war in a nutshell | International Committee of the Red Cross

The laws were created for humanitarian reasons. To break the law is a war crime. To

You do not target or deliberately bomb civilians. (Putin and Netanyahu – guilty)

You do not use water or food or medical aid as weapons (Netanyahu guilty)

You do not use torture (Netanyahu and Putin – guilty)

You do not use rape (Netanyahu and Putin – guilty)

You do not target schools, hospitals and community centres (Netanyahu and Putin – guilty)

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was an act of aggression that broke international law. The subsequent pounding of civilians areas, targeting of schools, hospitals, power stations and civilians were war crimes. The systematic torture, rape and executions were war crimes. The abduction of children is a war crime.

Even if Israel’s invasion of Gaza can be considered a war the way it has been conducted has all the hallmarks of a massive war crime. Netanyahu has pounded Gaza into rubble, targeted hospitals and schools, starved and harassed the entire population, used water and medical aid as weapons, and indiscriminately shot and bombed civilians in what amounts to genocide.

Put and Netanyahu, along with all the politicians and generals involved in planning and carrying out these war crimes should be dragged off to Nuremberg and put on trial!

Sanctions should be applied for Gaza Genocide!

Opher says Israel should be heavily sanctioned until it stops starving and bombing children!

The West has finally spoken up on Gaza – but it must not stop there

Opher says Netanyahu and his entire cabinet should stand trial for WAR CRIMES alongside Putin and his cronies!

Opher says the convicted felon Donald Trump should be locked up like anybody else found guilty of such crimes.

Opher says The Epstein files should be released unredacted and if they show that Donald Trump is a predatory paedophile (as I suspect) he should be tried in a court of law and properly sentenced.

What happens when you criticise Israel’s Genocide policy in Gaza.

I don’t mind a heated rational debate. That’s what blogging is about.

Hamas as a deplorable terrorist organisation that deserves to be wiped out.

To take and keep hostages is disgusting. They should be returned immediately.

What Hamas did in their brutal actions is inexcusable. |Attacking and slaughtering, torturing and maiming. They are inhuman. IMO They are scum.

The Palestinians who support such actions are deplorable.

But I contend that Netanyahu with his extreme right-wing coalition are just as bad.

They have a right to fight and destroy Hamas.

They do not have a right to bomb civilians, hospitals and schools even if Hamas are hiding there!

They do not have a right to bomb civilians.

They do not have a right to starve people and deprive them of water.

They do not have a right to turn Gaza into one gigantic bomb site.

This is as bad as Putin in Ukraine.

Retaliation should be appropriate, justified and proportionate? I think not!

Anybody who defends the starving or deliberate murdering of women and children is, in my opinion, morally corrupt.

Anybody who tries to justify genocide of Palestinians because of the Holocaust, pogroms, antisemitism or past war crimes is despicable. Two wrongs never make a right. Disgusting things happened in the past; they do not justify equally disgusting things.

I’ve deliberately left the comments from our extreme right-wing ‘friend’ up on my site. You judge!

Cataract Operation

Just come back from my 2nd cataract operation. Both eyes now done!

It’s very weird to be lying on the operating theatre with the surgeon cracking jokes with the nurses as he rummages around inside your eye, cutting out the lens and putting a plastic one in place!

Feels strange.

But I can already see clearly!

I can see that an extreme right-wing, authoritarian fascist government is bombing the hell out of innocent Palestinian civilians and starving children to death.

I can see that an extreme right-wing, authoritarian fascist government is bombing the hell out of Ukraine and looking to expand its influence.

I can see that an extreme right-wing, authoritarian fascist government has taken over the USA and is trying to dismantle the democratic apparatus.

I can see that an extreme right-wing, authoritarian fascist party is looking to take over the UK.

Time for all those of us who value cooperation, friendship and liberty to resist!

My eyesight might be improved. My insight stays the same!

(BTW – it’s a bit sore, sticky, gritty and foggy! – I look to a brighter future!)
