Felix,
I sympathize with you in the hot weather. We are also suffering a spate of record hot weather, on the US West Coast.

Amazing. I didn’t know there were so many countries in the EU.

@Michael I know a feller who singlehandedly chopped down the Sahara Forest, if that’s any interest to you.
@Felix
That would be very helpful Felix. Thank you
Peloni
I will try to plot out the main points of Holmes in the video. Life here in S Spain is difficult to work in. People try to exist using air conditioning but this makes the overall situation worse and my body was created in the north. I will try nevertheless to map out Holme’s points.
Peloni, get a life!
@Michael
So you do ask questions but choose to ignore the answers? How amusingly Isolationist of you?
Nota bene: Your domestic issues will not save you from a nuclear Iran which America has caused to first be controlled by the Mullahs, next to be able to put down the following revolts against their rule, to spread effortlessly across a destabilized Arabia (all but inside Iran of course), and then to be granted American-led protections as they developed their nuclear bomb program.
What is more is that America today is captured under the tyranny which was pressed on America by her own lack of due diligence. Someone said a Republic as long as you can keep it, and that is the point. The republic fell due to Americans failing to tend to their own due diligence in their own governing process. So the ambitious stole the reigns while those satisfied with their own lives ignored the savagery which was taking place in their names across the globe, and that would also include the cultivation of the Iranian nuclear menace.
So as you stick your head in the sand and claim to be focusing on the selective subjects you cited, don’t be too surprised when the Iranians finally get around to dealing with the big Satan, that is of course, unless Israel does the job for America that she did during Operation Opera and Outside The Box, when the nuclear reactors of Iraq and Syria were destroyed by Israel against American demands.
Also take note that when Trump returns to the White House, you will have the benefit of having someone with the sense and capability of chewing gum and thinking at the same time, ie he won’t limit his interests to your short sighted list of concerns – even as they are significant issues, they are not the limit of the greatest threats facing America due to American more than gross incompetence, as in Iran, and more than gross overreach, as in Ukraine. Trump knows this well, which is why the Trump’s foreign policy was never that of an isolationist, which may disappoint you. He is an sharp internationalist with an America First perspective, and in this respect, there is no disagreement with Israel, which is why Trump’s Israel policy was a major pillar of Trump’s foreign policy agenda. A strong, vibrant and successful Israel supports a strong, vibrant, and successful America, and Trump is wise enough to grasp this, even as many of his isolationist supporters remain clueless of, or uninterested in, this fact and its many benefits
Peloni,
None of the items you listed are of interest to me. How have you, or Israel
1. brought down inflation?
2. secured our border?
3. put an end to the lawfare that has incarcerated hundreds of innocent Americans?
4. gotten rid of pornography, genital mutilation and brainwashing of the children in our schools?
5. thrown in jail dangerous felons like Hunter Biden
F-16s, intelligence sharing, etc. mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, as long as we are languishing under this regime.
As for you personally, you and Ted have provided me and others here the opportunitiy to express ourselves. That is more important than F-16s. You truly merit my thanks and support. But Israel? Israel has done one thing for me, more valuable than all these other things: The King of Israel has delivered me fromj eternal damnation.
Now that I’ve asked these “vital” questions, do you still consider me an “isolationist”?
@Sebastien
I wanted to thank you for your very thorough response to Laura. You raise many important points which should be considered by all. Personally, I disagree with you about the Ukrainian Nazi’s being paper Nazi’s (cleverly termed). At the moment, the Ukrainians have their hands full as they are fully focused on not being completely overwhelmed by the Russians, but when that focus is altered, presumably by a frozen conflict arrangement, we will see how safe the Jews of Ukraine will remain to be. The fact that Zel failed the nation so badly, leaving it vivisected with the greatest concentration of the the nation’s natural resources on the wrong side of that vivisection line will certainly draw an unwanted connection to the Ukrainian Jews. The same will be true with regards to the corruption which Zel is coordinating instead of defeating – one of the most obvious examples of which would be that while the war goes badly, the desperately needed military earthworks were badly ‘mismanaged’ and this catastrophic failure was in no small part Zel’s responsibility. In truth, Zel has nothing for which to worry as his future is well prepared in one of his many international estates for him and his family, along with his own Big Guy cut of the gross receipts being run thru the Mafia capital of the world. Yet, while Zel is safely away in far off wherever with all the money and luxury his pretense at being ‘the servant of the people’ has brought him, the Jews of Ukraine will remain in Ukraine where the idolization of the perpetrators of the Holocaust is ever on public display, all across that wretchedly corrupt and antisemitic nation – recall too on this point that the Waffen SS Nazi who Zel celebrated in Canada was later openly lauded with an award back in Ukraine. The connection, adoration, and reverence for those who were responsible and who perpetrated the Holocaust in Ukraine is ever present. So, even as these obvious perspectives are not currently being acted upon, this suggests, to me at least, that the paper Nazi’s metaphor is less accurate than many might think, IMO at least.
If for instance the war with Russia comes to a state of being a frozen conflict, will Ukraine’s frozen conflict with the Jews of Ukraine begin to melt, so to speak? Time will tell, of course, but it is a fear which I am in no small way inclined to believe the answer will be in the affirmative, which is why the Nazi element in Ukraine, which is no myth, remains a great concern for me as regards the Jews who are currently trapped/living there. Just my own thoughts of course.
@Michael
Are you suggesting yourself to be a nation now?
If your glib question is more directed to Israel and the US rather than you and I, then the answer would be “Quite a lot”.
Here are a few examples, not to be mistaken for a complete response to your seemingly ill informed suggestion to the contrary:
https://www.israpundit.org/foreign-aid-to-israel-is-bonanza-for-the-us/
@Sebastien
It is really implied in what you stated, but national interests would include what other nations might do for us going forward, which is why I stated ‘in part’.
Hi, Peloni. You said,
“Isolationists would never ask any questions, but would always answer “good luck with that””
I have been called an “isolationist”. Are you accusing me of not asking any questions? (That’s a question, by the way). BTW, what have you, or Israel, done for me lately?
@Peloni What part have I left out?
@Michael
It is not isolationism. Isolationists would never ask any questions, but would always answer “good luck with that”.
In fact, nations don’t have friends but interests, and it is exactly those national interests to which Sebastien’s quesion “What have you done for us lately” addresses, in part in any event.
Hi, Sebastien
That sounds like “isolationism” to me.
@Laura
I agree. Ukraine’s Nazis are paper Nazis as far as the Jews are concerned though they are genocidal towards Russians. This, however, wouldn’t be our problem but for the fact that Russia is a nuclear power that is getting closer and closer to our enemies just because we are mucking around in its backyard as we wouldn’t tolerate them doing in ours. As we didn’t, in fact. Though to be fair, the secret codicil of the agreement of the Soviets to take missiles out of Cuba was that the U.S. would take its out of Turkey. I happen to think the Russian speaking minority of Ukraine that rebelled is in the right but its a moot point.
I also think the natives of Western Sahara, whose fighting organization is the Polisario Front are right in their struggle against Moroccan Colonialism but Israel recognized Morocco’s claim as a condition for the Abraham Accords so I’m cool with it. Same with Ukraine. I don’t care who is right if a cease-fire and armistice lines – much like the one between Israel and the Arabs in 1948 or North and South Korea would end the conflict because all I care about at the end of the day is getting Russia off Israel’s back. It can be done because they have no ideological skin in the game, so to speak. And neither Russia nor Ukraine persecutes Jews today.
But, they both vote to condemn Israel every time. All these peoples who talk as if Jews have some kind of a duty to side with them. The Armenians are another one, not to mention the Kurds. So what if they have also been threatened with genocide in the past. Have you ever heard of any of them protesting the attacks on Israel, on Jews in the West? (Except Azerbaijan that erected a huge blue and white structure of lights in the shape of the Israeli Flag in solidarity after Oct. 7, though it still condemns Israel along with the rest of the world except for the U.S. and Micronesia every time) Though there were protests on behalf of that criminal, George Floyd, all over the world, in countries that have no black people. Screw them. Let’s just look after our own for a change.
When anyone asks Israel or Jews, in general for support in a conflict, our motto should be: “What have you done for us, lately?” Absent that, it should be, “good luck with that; we have our own problems. Have a nice day.”
“Among the tens of thousands who participated in the recent Walk with Israel event in Toronto on Sunday was a group of Indigenous supporters, some of whom had travelled halfway around the planet to stand in solidarity with their Jewish Canadian friends and colleagues.
“Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem is a project of Indigenous Coalition for Israel, a global group of First Nations people lending their voices in support of Israel and its people.”

Nothing has changed since 1917 except the capitalist system is far worse and Ukraine is worse too. In 1918 the Bolsheviks gave Ukraine freedom and then had to defeat them.

Holmes does a good service when he talked about the rabid snuggling of wildlife in that part of the world.
We only see this in like a 40 seconds TV clip but Holmes gave a lot of welcome detail in the trade out of Malaysia
It was an aside. It showed to me the crisis ridden nature of Chinese Stalinism.
It takes time to tell this story.
Yet those were useful remarks made by Holmes. The whole picture has to be understood.
Now here is another video of again Vincent of TWIV interview with Holmes
At just over 1 minute Holmes explains precisely what happened
https://youtu.be/Jh45SeXE9GE?si=ezWsn02UTvN11lAI
In a space of four minutes Holmes sketches out key facts
They pretty well prove with no ambiguity that the virus came from animals no different to all previous, especially the Sars 1
And you’re a Bolshevik throwback.
So now we’re denying it was a children’s hospital? You sound like the hamasniks.
@Felix
I responded to your own comments on the video, and have yet to see any response from you.
Peloni
Did I miss it? Did you answer the Holmes video?
I see your post Laura. You are a complete slave and servant to this system and we are a millisecond before total end of life.
Israpundit I’m sorry to say has gone downhill. It has become befuddled by complexity.
I need a good job done on exposure of the story not being told…and Putin is inadequate…on this “Children Hospital” in Kiev
RT is shut. And information is sewn up
And Israpundit is NOT doing its job
And the greatest befuddler I’ve ever met is Peloni the man in effective control.
Israpundit is a collection of egos who do not work together.
@Felix
Actually, I provided you my response on this topic more than once, and specifically addressed what you found important in the Holmse video, to which you failed to provide any response. Here is the response which you obviously overlooked:
https://www.israpundit.org/chit-chat/comment-page-146/#comment-63356000278766
As I noted at the time, I am quite happy to comment further, but to be honest you have been more than a bit sharp of late, to the point of being intentionally abusive, and I really have no interest carrying on a discussion with someone who is more inclined to chastise my comments as being a lesson to granny about some eggs, another of your sharp comments, the meaning or merit of which left me amusingly puzzled. In any event, if you have an interest in furthering this discussion, leave such unpleasant remarks aside and I would be happy to respond. Otherwise, enjoy your day and your videos, which I do find to be more inclined towards propaganda than scientific argument.
Still defending the indefensible Russians and parroting Kremlin propaganda.
I’m worried about the empires of Iran, the islamic caliphate and China. You have your priorities screwed up Felix. Ukraine isn’t a threat to Jews and the only reason Jews are endangered in the west is because of muslim migrants. Far from an empire, if anything, the west is weak, in retreat and self-destructive. The problem in the west is its failure to defend its values and ceding power to muslims and china. What western empire is there when the west itself is being engulfed by islam?
Jews should watch very carefully the antics of the massive West Empire and the Ukrainian proxies ( the children hospital reminds of Zelensky bombing Poland)
The media have things sewn up.
And no party to expose
Again in the above you refer to the “unscientific frauds” but that kind of nasty name calling is useless. You have to attempt to show how that is. You don’t even try. But that is a method of arguing that must be exposed.
It is because you did show your hand already. I presented a YouTube video of over an hour in length.
It was by Eddie Holmes
This video was not taken up by you at all, completely ignored
He was certainly exposing the lab leak theory, basically arguing the virus had an animal or nature origin, evolution at work.
So there’s material out there to be studied. But there has to be a willingness to do so, and discuss.
So you showed yourself to be ideologically driven.
But I do not know why.
Another who needs consideration is Peter Daszak and his WHOLE experience which is going to the source of the virus to study the virus.
@Felix
No one has “shot [you] down” and in fact you continue to make your views, though I have to confess that I am not sure what you are speaking about at times. Notably, you ask that people with contrary views to your own be censured while demanding that your own contrary views should be promoted. Well, if you see no irony in this, as you probably do not, I would suggest that you are missing a good laugh. In any event, feel free to express your views as you have been, but those whose views differ from your own on the topic of Russia will be no more censored than your own views on the unscientific frauds which you find to be factually based. I am not sure why we keep having this conversation.

Sorry, I must be slipping. I’ll do better.
@Edgar When I think of Genoa, I think of Salami, I think of Salami tactics, I think of that Iranian terrorist who looked like Sean Connery as the Soviet submarine Commander in “The Hunt for Red October” (1990) – you notice, I put the full name of the movie but I don’t bother with this psychotic schmuck – trying to look like as much like a movie-villain as possible in photos as these Islamo-Nazi lunatics* love to do. Boy, must he have had a hard time in school with that name No wonder he had a Napoleon complex!
* They are veritable poster boys (and girls) for getting rid of the insanity defence in murder trials. Like the joke about Lizzie Borden begging the court to show mercy to a poor lil’ orphan girl.
@Felix
You have a bizarre obsession with me for some reason. Your complaining post is rather obscure, but if you care to clarify your claim about being “shot down” it might help. In any event, hopefully you will have a better rest of your day.
Mikey-
I forgot to ask you if you have flat feet??….Or jug handle ears. The Bertillon System has very interesting comments on these conditions, especially if a person possesses both.
Also for a “short-leg” condition (not quite Toulouse Lautrec). This may interest your “medical” wife.(I think a former nurse or nurse-aide)
By coincidence I also am a “medical” person, having gone through med school into the mid year of the anatomy room, before I bailed out.
I still have my old Grey’s Anatomy somewhere.
P.S.
By the way , just being curious, how often do you de-worm yourselves???

SEB-
Nice to hear a positive unzany post from you.
There are thousands of portraits of napoleon available, and one can see that he had a normal, slightly aquiline proboscis. Your pal was kidding you.
Also, as well as 2 wives, he had a number o ,mistresses, and at least 2-3 historically known illegitimate kids, one at least who became a prominent diplomat under his half-brother Napoleon 3, and Count Leon Denouelle, who was a very well known, staunch, life-long Bonapartist
,
This was Count Walewski, the son of Napoleon and Polish Countess Walewska his mistress of several years..
As for what Pandora got up to, I wasn’t around at that particular time, although you might think otherwise. So anything you read about here is, strictly, “hearsay”. Although, you may be right, but the news outlets were not very reliable then, just like today..
P.S. What the dickens has “the average height for Corsica” to do with Boney (as Betsy Balcombe called him) Just a short time before Boney was born, Corsica was a centuries long possession of Genoa. So actually he was an Italian changed into a Frenchman by a document As a YOUNG teen he got into the French Military Academy, he was jeered at for his foreign accent. .
@Felix “red flag situations” “black propaganda” – is this why they call them “color revolutions?.” If so, why don’t they employ more colors?. Or more creative, artistic propagandists, like painters, cartoonists, advertising execs, you know, people of color? : “So many questions, so many reports.” – “Questions from a worker who reads.” Bert Brecht (BB)
Creating red flag situations with no answer
The news this morning has sprung up around the preparation for all out war against Russia and Putin on the one hand, against Israel and Netanyahu on the other.
It is all a kind of black propaganda.
The both forms of propaganda are very extreme. Meaning they now have the WHOLE Media as a division in the real war
When I see Israpundit now I see it swimming in Peloni, who is that guy, and what’s his role? He’s here there and everywhere. Nothing can move without his sanction
I know it was he and Belman who shot me down back then
It was he and Belman who insisted that these people stay attacking in the most scurrilous fashion against Russia.
Literally now any kind of attack can come upon Russia.
What is going on?
The Russia leadership of Putin has never attacked hospitals much less children
And thanks to Peloni and Belman you have the resident attackers inside of Israpundit hard at it
And not a thing to stop them
@Edgar I had a French-American friend in the ’80s, himself something of a Baron Munchausen/Hary Janos type who acted
like he knew everything so I dunno, but who claimed that actually Napoleon didn’t have a height complex since he was average height for Corsica, but rather one about having a small nose which was unusual there and associated with, well, you know.
@Edgar Doesn’t Pandora cause the curses to be loosed upon the world by opening the box?
I forgot that little detail in the Kong original which I last saw on tv as a kid. It’s been remade 12 times since the first one in 1933. I don’t think many people remember much besides the ending. Did it quote “Beauty and the Beast?” (the ending.) Though the Jean Renoir film came out in 1946. Thought it was earlier. It was black and white and so grainy and hard to understand and read the subs. Maybe I just had bad reception.
I’m not sure if I am misremembering, none of
these were among my favorites. but I also have a Lon Chaney Sr. as silent film Quasimodo association. You know, “T’was beauty killed the beast.”
No internet. Couldn’t look anything up. I didn’t know what a rerun was in the 60s and 70s. I thought most of what I was watching was contemporaneous.
How’d you figure it out?
I remember confusing and conflating, Bela Lugosi in Dracula, Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel and a tallit, which I misremembered as being called a tahvel, when I was little and at the beach, I swept the towel over the lower half of my face like a scarf, like Lugosi and looking magnetically over it.
also like Rudy Valentino snd Houdini, I said
in as low a voice as I could manage – satirically – “I vant to be alone.”
A note to MIKKELE-SHMEKELE
You have shown yourself to be exceedingly devious, and your lies against Russia qualify as legendary. I am of the firm opinion that anyone who cannot oppose the Banderaite people who were marching through Kiev a short time ago carrying the pictures of that Jew killer…
What can I say? Why you here?
And insulting an Irish Jew is just part of the same rotting ideology. I draw the line there
MIKKELE-SHMEKELE
Short Man’s Syndrome is known as the “Napoleonic Complex” he being Le petit caporal:.
In true fact as I’ve read many times and as recently as last week, He was above average French height, of 5’4″ then , being about 5’7″ > He looked short because his OLD GUARD were all 6 footers plus tall Beaver fur hats.
Besides confusion as caused by his being measured in “French inches” which are longer than English.
Looking at his Coronation Painting, one can see that he is a little taller than many of the attendees. And we know from historical accounts that my comments here are based on FACT.
I’ve always known of your multilateral ignorance, but why must you insist on showing it so constantly. And not only against me….!!
Poor old Nap’s body and later skeleton were measured at death on St Helena, and later on transfer to Les Invalides.
Petit Caporal was an affectionate nickname due originally to his extreme youth in his early commands, as a skinny undeveloped 18 year old officer.
As for the rest of your offensive diatribe, perhaps your post was deleted because of it’s crude “smelling” rather than “spelling” I suppose you must have a worm in your brain since you treat yourself with a med famous for it’s deworming abilities. But as I see, you need MORE…LOTS MORE,
I see that my sincere sympathy was totally misplaced in that you are not only sick of body but also of mind, and malicious to an extreme.
I brush it off down the toilet where a squirt like you might easily follow.
Let it be so…..!!!

I don’t see that any Hollywood depiction of anything should influence facts. THE KING may be your “good old Pal” but recall he was disposing of a young beautiful female YEARLY for untold years. And he slaughtered nearly everyone in the native well populated village.
Fay Wray was only different because she was white, also railed at him in her terror. Her ultra sudden change of mind was a fine demonstration of “The Stockholm Syndrome” after having been saved from various threats, a la Patty Hearst.
“THAT”…..( you should have heard the snap of my thumb and middle finger here) for your depiction of Poor Old Kongie with whom you could imagine doing a “pub crawl” and being the life of the party.
And Pandora’s Box “released the ills of the world”., so as you point out might be replaced, it suffices in the circumstances.
Just imagine (impossible to) being chased “sympathetically”, by King Kong….I suppose for him just to pat you on the shoulder and then zoom off into the sky—- like Superman…..?????
@Michael @Edgar I looked it up. I stand corrected. So, I am changing “cornucopea” which refers to a horn containing a plentiful harvest to “plethora.” which just means a lot of things and usually has a negative connation.
Thank you for clarifying that, Edgar.
However, the Pandora’s box metaphor
doesn’t fit Michael since his family tragedies were unavoidable and not his doing.. The being chased by King Kong metaphor could be
improved upon because
King Kong is a sympathetic, tragic
figure in the original movie. In the latest one – Godzilla x Kong, the New Empire (2024) which just came out, he’s a hero. In this one Godzilla is the villain, though Godzilla is sometimes the hero and sometimes the villain, exchanging places with switching places with other nuclear super-charged pre-historic creatures in the cinematic tradition. Spoiler alert: Mothra plays a deus ex machina role in this one, too. It’s American, I believe. There was a terrific Japanese one last year, too – Godzilla minus one (2023) in which Godzilla was a villain.
Seems the only good
movies we
make anymore are science
fiction.
“Movies Matter.”
Real life sucks much of
the time. Welcome
to Samsara, the land of Dukha.
Not to be confused with “Welcome to Samdalri” (2023)
which is
just fun.
Edgar,
I don’t think you know shat’s going on here. I posted yesterday, that I thought I smelled a “f-rt”, and asked whether you were in the area. It was deleted, apparently for some spelling reason.
Your problem has nothing to do with your poliltical or religious positions. It is that you consistently think yourself a “gentleman”, in its worst connotation, believing yourself to be a notch above the rest of humanity and venting your spleen on those you consider your “inferiors”. These include those who do honest work for a living (“chicken pluckers”), people with various health problems, etc.
Your “sense of humor” is that of a churl. Your intellectual accomplishments are at best, mediocre, yet you fancy yourself as an authority because of your many unfounded opinions. In other words, you are a complete bore.
I hope this has filled in some gaps in your understanding. My wife, a medical person, has described this sort of condition as “short man’s syndrome”.

A Cornucopia is a term which indicates a never ending flow of GOOD things.

Poor Mike , I sincerely feel MUCH sympathy towards you.

There are dozens, probably hundreds of symbols which use the more complicated code, but the SMILE is just a colon followed by an ending parenthesis, and the wink is just a semicolon followed by an ending parenthesis. You can also have a LAUGHING WINK with a semicolon followed by a ‘D’
I agree with you about the more complicated ones. It’s a lot of work to remember so much for a simple emoji. Coding is like that.
@Peloni OK. I just know the one for laughter which you taught us – and thanks – colon D . Are the other two as complicated as the other emojis you provided then? Thanks for looking into it, Ted.
@Sebastien
Ted looked into it. We are limited by what is available for the software, which only allows for the thumbs up and down. But we can still SMILE
