You watch, you decide what is right

This video shows a representative of United Nations Watch. This organisation is a Jewish organisation. If the figures given in the video are not false or not grossly exaggerated, we have, in my opinion two sets of facts, what Israel is doing in Gaza which in my opinion is an abomination, but not a genocide, (at least compared to the mass murders in other places). 45000 Palestinian civilians, many children, killed by the Israeli army in Gaza is an abomination but any idiot knows Israel has the power to kill every Pslestinian and their donkeys, but chooses not to. The situation is not a war, it is a clean up operation. At this moment Hamas is not an army, it is a band of murderers who deserve to die, it is not a political party as Tucker Carlson said, obviously motivated by emotions with respect to Jews and Israel he does not have the guts to voice. It is legitimate to say US Jews have too much influence on behalf of Israel and that is bad for the US, for Israel and for Jews, anyone not emotionally blind can ser that. Get to the point Carslon, be respectful but get to the point. Trump too should have the guts to tell the Jews that for their own good, any support for Israel beyond helping it survive is dumb, buy his famoud bluntness goes flaccid with some lovers.

Israel does not need to be in such hurry to kill a Hamas SOB who is using innocent Palestinians, perhaps used as shields by Hamas even against their will. Israel can wait and pinpoint each Hamas guy, at least kill only his immediate family too, if he is dehumanized enough not to care. It is so obvious to me that Israel does not need to be in such hurry, particularly while Hamas holds Jewish hostages, that I suspect Israel has another motive, as expressed even by some government minister; get the Palestinians to leave Gaza and, even some Jews say, to leave the West Bank.

But we have another set of facts. It is clearly wrong and dehumanizing for the UN to make such condemnation of Israel for killing 45 000 innocent Palestinians when, according to the video, something like a million or two people, Moslems and Christians have been killed by Moslems.

Yet, the UN has little to say about Yemen, Libya, Syria, Sudan, China, etc., but each of them committs far worse abominations than Isrsel. I am not clear ifcthe disproportionate attention to what Israel does is antisemitism, or higher expectations of Israel because we consider it a civilized people, or because the World has lower expectations of Moslems and we give them a pass. But I also think there is another factor; in most Western countries, perhaps most of the World, there is resentment of Jewish political influence. I think it is a tribal issue; tribes do not like to their government controlled by any minority, much less a non-elected minority, no matter how successful they might be. Each tribe needs to feel in control of its territory, it is a survival thing biologically programmed. Just like the Jews of Israel need to feel in control of Israel and are. Most people do not mind that Jews succeed in so many fields, as long as the majority does not feel threatened or uncomfortable by “too much” influence or power of ANY minority. When Jews succeed beyond individual success and, like it happens in the US now concerning Israel, Trump and Congress align their decisions with what “the Jewish lobby” wants, a huge bomb start to grow and tick under the Jews. It is palpable now in the US. If Jews stick to “antisemitism” (“irrational”, “evil” stuff) as the “,true explanation”, they are not rational. Rational is for Jews to figure out how to be accepted without renouncing being a Jew, otherwise terrible history will repeat itself. Now, for the UN to condem Israel for its much smaller exevesses. without a much stronger condemnation of those Moslem states is an abomination. Likewise the ICC prosecuting Netanyahu but not citizen of all those countries and Gazans too, it is another abomination and clearly unjust. All those people demonstrating against Israel but not the others are irrational, perhaps emotional irrational.

You watch, you decide.

This is why Swiss politicians are always in tune with the plural majority.

It is great we are making great advances in many fields. It is also clear many of those advances are very disruptive for business but, more importantly, for the lives of ordinary people. One huge problem that brought Trump to power are the job losses to legal and illegal immigration and to low cost countries. To prevent political instability and the disasters it can bring we need a new system of political decision making, a system that prevents what we see in most democracies today; a growing divide with political leaders, big business exevutives and the rich on one side and on the other side the majority of citizens. The anger, frustration and desperation keeps growing but piliticians, for whatever reason are unable or unwilling to listen to the majority, or perhaps they believe they know what the majority wants, but it is obvious they do not know, otherwise people would not elect Trump, LePen would not have to be jailed, the establishment would not try to take Trump out, Farage would not be surging, etc. Let me make one thing clear; Trump is better than Biden, he is a little better tuned in with the people but it is not clear a majority of Americans are with him in his support of Israeli actions in Gaza but, and this is worse, clearly are not with him in the withholding of Epstein files. Just with that action, Trump turns out to be another establishment politician. With that action he has completely destroyed his credibility. Most of his supporters will not turn away from him because the Demicrats are worse. For a country to be stable over the medium and long term you can not have discredited elected politicians. We need a political system that will make it impossdible por politicians to ignore or misread what concerns the people. No, dictatorships are not the answer; fascist dictatorships, communist dictatorship or religious dictatorships of any religion; they all are abominations that are far less in tune with the people although in the beginning, dictators are treated as messiahs.

Such system must automátically force politicians and the elites to be in tune with the majority of citizens and must also force politicians of rival parties, including the major parties on the left and the right to work together when puting in place laws, policies, budgets, etc. Such system exists. What it does is put in the hand of registered voters the power to stop ANYTHING politicians do and to force them to do what the plural majority wants. The procedures for the people to exercise such powers must be straighforward so that the people will in fact exercise their powers as the top authority on executive and legislative issues, including changes to the constitution. That system is the Swisd system and it makes Switzerland the most democratic, in fact the only one really democratic country in the World. It also delivers unmatchef political stability, flexibility and prosperity. I suggest you study it and bring it to your country.

This is the Swiss breakthrough

This is the Swiss breakthrough: they realized that the ordinary Swiss people, the vast majority of whom have the brains, the smart and mature brains and character, to be responsible fathers and mothers, boyfriends and girlfriends, grandfathers and grandmothers, workers, supervisors, managers, plumbers, accountants, firefighters, doctors, engineers, nurses, civil servants and in any honest profession, who daily have to make important decisions for today and for the future of themselves and their families, jobs and business, pay their mortgages and rents, pay their taxes, drive responsibly are good neighbours and on and on, those people also have what it takes to be the final authority in the governance of their town, city, canton (state) and the whole nation. And the history of the Swiss system proves them right decade after decade. Yes, the Swiss prove that when ordinary people are the final decision makers over ANYTHING they choose to decide, they make consistently better decisions than when that power resides in the hands of the elected representatives. The Swiss prove that empowered citizens do not need leaders or messiahs or visionaries or demagogues of rhe right or the left. The Swiss also prove that the Left-Right divisiob is mistly bs to herd and distract the people. Not only that, the final authority  the people have over the executives and legislators also has turned politicians into better decision makers. Now go and check all indicators of governance and democracy, no country comes close, never mind the bs of The Economist and others about “democratic quality”. The time has come for the people of all democracies to take to the streets like when Americans did for the civil rights of Blacks.All of us deserve ti be first class citizens like the Swiss; “we pay, we decide, politicians obey’

Only you can: Become a real first class citizen to save democracy and your neighborhood

Republicans, and the current Democrats even more, are pushing the US into Weimar. The outcome of Weimar will be Fascism or Communism. There is one way to prevent Weimar; ordinary Americans, all that majority of Americans, of all moderate political tendencies, all those who are responsible parents, husbands and wives, who may or may not be religious, who are responsible workers, good neighbours, who pay their mortgages and rents, who pay their loans, etc., have to take to the streets, in Martin Luther King style, to demand the civil right they deserve and is necessary to save the US (the good people of the UK, Canada and other democracies too), that most important of all civil rights is the right to decide the present of your town, city, state and the whole nation, the power to decide any law, any policy, any regulation, any tax, any budget, the level of national debt, state debt and local debt, the size of the army, the abortion laws, the changes to the constitution, the power to be the FINAL and top decision makers on any issue, removing that power off the hands of politicians. Turning the elected executive and legislators into faithful executioners of the will of the people. That is what the Swiss people did, peacefully but relentlessly demanded the power to decide issues, the power to elect representatives was no longer enough. The Swiss constitution at the time had as model the US Constitution, but soon the Swiss, bless them, saw that it placed excessive power in the hands of politicians, who could not resist using their powers to continuously accumulate more power to benefit themselves and control the lives of the people. The Swiss decided: “we pay, we decide, you obey”. The Swiss people transformed the role of politicians, from “leaders” (mostly demagogues) into civil servants, into faithful carriers of the will of the people. The Swiss experience of almost two centuries, clearly demonstrates those ordinary, responsible, citizens are more responsible and wiser decision makers than the politicians. The system also prevents politicians from deviating from the will of the people. There is even more; the four major political parties of center, right and left, representing about 80% of voters, work ALWAYS in coalition in the executive and legislative, no crazy polarisation or paralysis in Switzerland. And, this you will not believe, Swiss politicians get an approval rating in the 75 to 85% range. There is a lot more, I hope this gets you interested in taking to the streets and perform the fine tuning all democracies need. Dictatorships, all of them, religious or not, are all abominations; China, Iran, Cuba, etc., all are 24/7 offenses to tge dignity of human beings. Just in case: tge Swiss system is verycdifferent from the California system because the power of citizens covers the federal government and many other details.

Professors Meirsheimer and Sachs, Russia, China, NATO, Trump, Modi and the Swiss poitical system

My thoughts on Professir Meirsheimer, Professor Sachs, Prime Minister Modi, Russia, China and Trump. I am amazed that Professor Meirsheimer, along with Professor Sachs and a few more articulate but devoid of common sense souls in the tallk circuit, criticize the West “for failing to adjust to a multipolar world” meaning adjusting to the Russian and Chinese dictatorships who resent the West, are scared if fredom, oppress their own citizens and are a danger to its neighbours. They also criticise the West for “pushing NATO East”.

At least least professor Meisheimer proposes the US shoukd not adjust to the CCP taking over Taiwan which lunatic Professor Sacks basically does.

I wonder if this two devout anti West souls would suggest that the UK and France failed to adjust to a multipolar Europe with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

NATO expanded East because the nations around Russia are scared of Russia not because the West has an irrational hate of Russia. The West would love to carry on doing business with Russia as it does with South Korea or Thailand or any other country which is not paranoid. If NATO was avancing East without justification, howcome two neutral countries like Sweden and Finland decided to join NATO as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, instead of saying NATO provoked Russia?

With respect to China; are not China’s neighbours like India, Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, etc., scared of China?

What these two articulate jerks should be saying is criticise the West for encouraging Putin with weak contaiment and helping China grow into a deadly enemy with crazy Kissinger and Nixon opening of markets to China.

We have many of this West haters, which I suspect are Marxists usind the word democracy for cover. We should relentlessly criticize people like them because they are our enemies within and haters of democracy. We should not forget Professor Sachs was advisor to the Soviet Union and Meirsheimer regularly gives talks in China. You can be shure he is allowed to because his talks help the CCP, doubt he criticises China’s expansionist policies that scare neiggbours or the “reeducation” of the Uyghurs.

On a side note; India is right in getting annoyed at Trump for his tariffs to pressure it to stop buying Russian oil. Trump should have proposed a deal, he missed the opportunity for one. He should have said: “if you stop buying Russian oil the US will help India with… for example, modernize its military to fight China by land, air and sea, reducing tariffs to India’s goods and services, help India explore the seabed for oil and minerals, help India become a strategic manufacturer, etc.

But Modi also makes a mistake with his move to join China in that recent humiliating meeting with Xi and Putin. What is the purpose of helping your enemy because you are annoyed at your ally? It is lunacy. Instead, Modi should made a counterproposal to Trump, like: we will stop buying Russian oil if…

We need the Swiss political system; the vast majority of citizens of most countries are responsible as they show in their daily lived with their families, neighbours, at work, paying their taxes, paying their mortgages, etc., the people must be the final authority over any law, policy and contents of the constitution. Elected legislators and elected executives must have the role of carrying out the will of the people, not “guiding” the people with demagoguery. This applies to Trump, to all governors and mayors, to Starmer, Macron, Meloni, Merz, Ishiba, etc. That is what the Swiss system is about and that is why Switzerland is, by far, the most democratic, best governed country in the World. Non democracies are all abominations; China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Cuba, etc.

Corrupt democracies too and right now, most are corrupt by excessive power in the hands of politicians and pressure groups.

For Jack Mallers and all: What the US and other democracies need right away

Jack: You may not be politically partisan in the Republican or Democrat side, but political you are, we all have to be because politics determines laws and our alliwed and non allowed behaviour.
Below I say a few things about US, Russia, China, Europe and India. Furthet down I explain why the US Constitution needs an update, what that update is and how it can be made to happen
You are overlooking that China and Rusia have inherently unstable regimes because they are dictatorships dictatorships always look very stable, until they do not. You also overlook China and India are bitter rivals, they have unresolved border conflicts. Russia has to be very concerned about China’s economic ambitions and power and its military power regarding Russis’s soft, juicy and fat Suberian underbelly. The hard truth is that the people of Russia, never mind Putin, have a lot bigger things to fear from China than from the West and NATO. China is an existencial threat to Russia. Russia distracts itself with dreams of rebuilding the Russian empire in the Donbas, while keeping country industrially and economically weak. Russia-Putin seems to think its nukes keep it safe but forgets that as Russia becomes weaker and weaker economically and industrially with respect to Chins, at one point China will control Russia, economucally, financially, technologically , industrially and even by corrupting in China’s favour the already corrupt Russian national and local officials. In other words, in his deranged efforts to rebuild the Russian Empire Putin and his regime are endangering Russia itself. Putin is dealing with China’s totalitarian, industrially powerful with ambitions based on the belief of ethnic supremacy, like Stalin did with equally powerful dictatorship in Nazi Germany. If it weren’t because Hitler was stupid enough to be at war with the US the Russians would speak German now. For all its deffects, Putin and the Russians should know the US is not really a threat to Russia. Only Russia’s crazy action of invading Ukraine, that scared neutral countries like Finland into the Arms of NATO, has put the US under Biden and under Trump against Russia. Russia says it is scared of NATO but Russia’s stupid actions have expanded NATO. Russia needs to get rid of paranoid stupid Putin, become a democracy and ally itself wirh the West, with the EU and bring to Russians the peaceful prosperous life they want. India plays the Russia China card because of Trump’s stupud action of using economic sanctions against India to stop India from buying cheao Russian oil. India is not prosoerous enough to ignore opportunities to buy cheap oil. Besides, Europe imports lots of gas and oil, abd coal and uranium from Russia, but Trump does not threaten them with tariffs because they are allies. India has to be treated as an ally, in fact it us a strong ally of the US and the West against China, a democracy we need on our side. What other countries around China will do if the US treats India like that to help Ukraine? Trump is pusshing many other countries away from the US, even into China’s arms, you can not get much more stupid.
Then you have the deranged US system of government, so internally divided that nothing China could dream of would divide the US more. I do not know if the problem is that Trump, in his desperate attempts to fix the mess the Republican and Demicrat politicians and lobbying have created for the US economically, socially, financially and industrially, takes actions beyond his constitutional authority, or that the judges have become corrupt by partisan politics too, but seems so many things are not working in the US. If you read about the Weimar Republik you will see eerie similarities, including many highly educated and influencial Jews who, somehow, seem unable to help. I think the time has come for the American people to take to the streets, peacefully, like Martin Luther King and the black and whites and Hispanics of any religion, including Christians and Jewish supporters did when they felt the majority of Americans were ready to end discrimination against blacks. I know, from ending discrimination and letting the behaviour if blacks determine their lives, the demands evolved into irrational stuff, like DEI, entrance quotas, having blacks in imortant positions for being black, etc., and that is now another problem.
What I want to say is that I believe the American people, probably the majority, of any background or ideology, are disatisfied with politicians overall. Something like 80% of Americans are unhappy with Congress overall. With whoever is President the figures are not so bad because electing the President forces all voters to take sides in a very clear way; “Congress” is more anonymous mass.
Ordinary Americans who voted for Trump or Biden or Bush or Obama or any member of Congress recignize America is divided and not heading in the right direction. It is time for the people to take to the streets and repair US democracy. It is not that “democracy does not work” as fascists and communists really believe, although they have learned to use the word democracy as a big fig leave to hide their real goals. The problem is that the US Constitution needs an update, but the needed update is of no interest to the political establishment of either party, to lobbies or to ordinary Americans ideologically committed to being Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or conservatives. Only Americans who are not committed to being progressives or conservatives and who do not feel they have to align on every issue along political lines, will want to update US democracy. It is only they who have the ideological freedom to demand change.
What change is needed? Transfer ultimate authority in towns, cities, states and, this is decisive, the national level too, over any law, policy, budget, education, health, infrastructure and changes to the constitution to the people, to ordinary Americans, to that huge majority of Americans who are responsible citizens, pay their taxes, pay their mortgages and loans, are responsible parents, are good neighbours, are honest, are responsible workers, take care of themselves, maintain their houses and lawns, drive safely, etc. Those responsible, non partisan ordinary Americans will decide ANY issue or law more fairly and competently than politicians. How do I know? Because the Swiss have been doing it for more than 150 years. The Swiss had until the early 1800s a constitution inspired by the American Constitution but soon saw a flaw that over the years was slowly but steadily undermining democracy. The problem is that all democracies with the exception of Switzerland and Ancient Greece, place all final authority over any law, policy or changes to the constitution in the hands of the executive, the legislative or the judges and such groups can not resist accumulating more and more power in their hands and reducing the power in the hands of citizens. The lobbies soon saw that the way to advsnce their agendas was to cultivate ties with political candidates and politicians because they decide, the laws, the policies, everything and they even appoint the judges to the Supreme Court. The people see that laws and policies increasily disregard the interests of the ordinary responsible citizen, and even harm them, as we see with globalization, the growing displacement of wealth to the rich, their stagnant salaries, the loss of good jobs to other countries, the depression of wages by legal and illegal immigrants, the rise in crime in their neighborhoods, the enrichment of politicians, the practically total control of political campaigns by the two parties and the “donors”, etc. Americans still have fairly robust freedom of speech but without the power and authority to be the final decision makers on any issue 1% of Americans sign up to send to binding referendum, America is fucked. The Swiss system is more friendly to business and entrepreneurs, which might surprise you and, of course, to the people because they hold key powers. If you got the ball rolling and help others educate Americans in the Swiss system you would make an even bigger contribution to America and the World than with Strike.
Freedom of expression without the power to decide is a dead end.
