(The Social/Political Fabric Appears to be Unraveling)

Mortar and Pestle: Israel and Palestine

This is where rock meets bone, the age-old epic struggle between
the people and the PTB *,

- those with compassion for all of suffering humanity and those loyal to the USraeli Empire,
- those who have taken the red pill and the others the blue,
- those who defend the Shire and those who toil for Mordor,
- those who identify with what is truly sacred and those who are mere opportunists serving the Dark Side,
- tribal Jewry and their shabbas goyim vs. the rest of us

Zionists are morally, ethically and spiritually sick, and very dangerous..

("A particular example of what much of the climate change agenda boils down to in practical terms - increased taxation (and not covered in this one, centralisation/undermining local/national sovereignty). The climate, being a global issue, trumps local/national concerns so is great for promoting para-national groups who then assume powers and legal authorities superior to mere nations.​" ~ APH)

A New Year’s Perspective: John Steinbeck on Good and Evil, the Necessary Contradictions
of the Human Nature, and Our Grounds for Lucid Hope

Seems like everyone has been saying goodbye and good riddance to 2016, in most cases with the aid of copious amounts of holy water,
