Great piece! I believe that the most important words in it are ‘useful idiots’. It’s the only way to properly describe the overwhelming majority of those that seek to bring down not only Israel, but Western Civilization. They are the product of Carter’s Department of Education. The failure is intentional, there’s no other explanation for how our education system has fallen to a mere shadow of what it was in 1980.
There are actually Lots of explanations, but certainly the introduction of post colonial studies and things of this nature, the bastard step children of postmodernism, are part of it. But so is the general degradation of Social standards, the movement of Capital upwards into FE were and fewer hands, all of which has created a decadent and ignorant “elitist” class, that aren’t Honest with themselves or anyone else. But I think it’s Also safe to say that most of these bad ideas were born of good, but often misguided intentions.
If you're never read it I recommend "Killjoys" by Christopher Snowden. it's all about the rise of Paternalism, where it comes from a juxtaposes it against Mill. It's actually a really great eye opening book about the costs on unintended consequences. What's crazy if after the madness of 2020 kicked off, I started tweeting at him, about how he wrote a book that was a sort of de facto antidote to the giant show that was 'covid'. He Blocked me lol
Always find your essays interesting. Especially the focus on western civilization.
West is combination of Hebrew religious morality and Greek intellectual philosophy. See Mathew Arnold.
Note this warning to Isreal by Isaiah (clearly applies equally to Christians) . . .
“Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good,
Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness,
Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
(What better way to describe the current social, cultural . . . confusion. )
Woe to those wise in their own eyes
And discreet in their own sight!
(Perfect psychological insight!)!
Woe to those who are mighty in drinking wine
And to the men who are masters at mixing alcoholic drinks,
(Probably not referring to liquid wine, but, moral incoherence)
Those who acquit the wicked for a bribe
And who deny justice to the righteous!
(Merit not from integrity , but, group approval)
Therefore, just as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble
And dry grass shrivels in the flames,
Their very roots will rot,
And their blossoms will scatter like powder,
(This is result, the root of civilization (the invisible moral reversal) are source of flourishing or destruction, will cause rot in the visible blossoms (life).
Because they rejected the law of Jehovah of armies
And disrespected the word of the Holy One of Israel.’’
Rejection (hatred) of Biblical law, adamant refusal to accept the moral, religious roots of the west, brings . . .
Great conversation Kate. Your guest was Passionate and it came through the screen and the speaker.
There was a Lot of great points made here, it was thoroughly enjoyable, but also if all I ever did was pat people on the back that wouldn’t be me.
I found the Historical record on Israel to be very one sided, and although I have an urge to agree, it’s important to have balance, and the Early Zionist settlers really did engage in some shady behaviors at times, and many were in fact some of the progenitors of the Bolsheviks, and they were quite radical, but in my Humble opinion with good motivations.
But yes, there was also this unholy alliance of Islam and Communism, but also of Islam and Nazis. The Fact is that if it was Radical, there can often be found people of the Jewish persuasion somewhere in the mix, and NO I’m not one of the Jewish Conspiracy types. I’m just pointing out that for whatever reason, they just happen to succeed, even in subversive ways. Perhaps it’s because of the stories they tell about their History, or it’s guilt over the death of Jesus, or it’s simply a Cultural practice thing. Who knows. Not me. Again, less than .3% of the World population, something like 25 % of Nobel prizes. I mean that’s just a wild stat.
However, on the State itself, there are some things that need to be acknowledged.
One, they are World Leaders on the bio digital convergence front, and for people in that field, they have been some of the loudest proponents of the seemingly insane actions of public health people around the World. They also create much of the surveillance technologies that are part and parcel of the 4IR. Bibi called Israel “Pfizer’s laboratory”, and, he’s called the fight against Hamas the fight against “Amalek”. I mean, what heck IS that? I’ll tell you, he’s appealing to zealots in both the Zionist and Evangelical camps, and it wasn’t some miscalculation.
No, these groups in Israel can’t be seen as ‘fighting for the West’. Their actions are antithetical to Western cannon Law. They are antithetical to Negative Human Rights, which is the Foundational Premise of Western society, and they are at the forefront of the legal cases being made for Agenda 2030, so let’s not get it twisted. I’m not suggesting they are ‘all in on it’, no, what I’m saying is that so many people helping to facilitate the 4IR are themselves the useful idiots.
But for the Evangelicals and the Zionist zealots, they want the Third temple. And I’ve argued that their conception of the Messiah is actually achievable through “AGI” and there’s even a book about it called “Digital Divinity”, and just think this through, if they could get people to accept the digital ID’s, they I’m this case being the WHO, WEF, UN, and all the other people who don’t see the inherent issues, can think about it in two specific ways, that would appeal to the sentimentalities of both groups, First, the digital ID, which will move quickly into real time monitoring, will provide access to the ‘data’ this is supposed to power this whole scheme. Two, the main problem with building the Third Tempe is keeping people from blowing themselves up during construction. Well knowing where everyone has been before they even come to the area would solve it.
Last points. Israel is apparently using AI to target ‘Hamas’, and that freaks me out, and they’re using AI to help them ‘decode the genome’, in their bio digital convergence, which is an Idea consistent with Jewish Mysticism.
So to be Clear, I’m Not suggesting Israel or the ‘Jews’ are Actually attempting to ‘take over the World’, or something, because that would be Not Understanding the Premise, but to suggest they’re still a “Western” sphere Country is a Failure to Understand where we are.
That said, the Idea that during this quest of sorts, they actually think they’re Hurting themselves or Anyone else Intentionally, is just False. They wouldn’t start the grand experiment on themselves if they didn’t believe in it. That’s as absurd as suggesting they had a hand in Oct 7, or even the Holocaust, but that doesn’t stop people in the conspiracy World from making those kinds of Insane arguments. It’s happened with a person I know well who I Consider to be a Very intelligent person. It’s actually super weird.
Anyways, Great Conversation, Keep up the Great Work
What would be interesting to hear from Karen is her response to the ANC who have now decided to take Israel to the ICC for Genocide.
Why I say that is her comment about growing up under "Apartheid" and how terrible it was. Unfortunately the Jewish people were very pro anti-apartheid and sided with the Marxist movements against the whites which included the many Jews who were not siding with them. Most were very liberal progressives who were always virtue signalling.
Death throes of western civilization? I fear it is more likely that the revolution of the enlightenment is reverting back to the feudalism of the middle ages.

Robert Merton’s law of unintended consequences has three types. I believe that we see many of these failures in one of them.
Perverse result: A perverse effect contrary to what was originally intended (when an intended solution makes a problem worse).

Well . . . Was Isaiah right?
Who can deny this keen insight (prophecy)?
Thanks
Thanks so much for sharing Clay. I am a big fan of Isiah’s Job! This is a great piece of wisdom.
