Risk and Extortion LXI: Can Common Sense Save Us?

The Vanishing of the Epstein-Maxwell Axis

In the “West”, the growing rift between leading politicians and mainstream media on the one hand and “most ordinary people” on the other hand is becoming a huge problem for Zionism. It is for that reason, that Benjamin Netanyahu – the leader of a political party that started as a bunch of terrorist-paramilitary groups under the label of “Revisionist Zionism” – has stated (perhaps after telling his servant Trump to wipe the existence of the Epstein List under the carpet for once and for all), that his government will increase its efforts to silence Pro-Palestinian voices.

Of course, he made sure that the very semantics of opposing genocide were first change into being “anti-Israel” which he automatically equates with anti-Semitic. Likewise, his stooges in the US government have imposed sanctions on the ICC and now also on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine. In the UK, a Palestinian protest group has been branded a “terrorist organization” for spray-painting a military airplane. In Germany, garbage media such as the Spiegel cannot distinguish between being anti-genocide and being hostile to Israel. In the Netherlands, two hundred professional hooligans, many serving in the IDF, have been financially rewarded for tearing up the city of Amsterdam before and after a football match. All these events add up, but never in the direction that the corrupt leaders and their propaganda machines had intended.

Just like the attempt to make the Epstein files disappear and deny that there was an extortion programme, the effects are that people  get enraged not only by the blatant corruption, but above all by the blatant violation of their common sense. Who in their right mind believes Pam Bondi, Kash Patel or Donald Trump when they deny that the Epstein-Maxwell axis ever existed? After all, many of the MAGA base believed that Trump was not like the Democrats and was going to finally expose the entire paedophile-network of globalism that Q-Anon promised them would happen. The storm that was coming, has turned out to be a mere shit-storm, a wet fart from the saggy ass of an orange old man.

Now Benjamin Netanyahu, the son of the private secretary of the Zionist-extremist and friend of Mussolini, Vladimir Jabotinsky , who also founded the Jewish version of the Hitler Jugend called Betar, must be desperate to get sucked into the Epstein debacle. This can only fuel the suspicion that Mossad was indeed involved. This in turn may also explain why the Trump Administration wants to protect not only himself but also the paedophiles of the Democratic Party whose names are in the files.  

This can only mean one thing: Israel, the USA and their “Western” allies have entered the end game. They have lost the battle over common sense. Most people might be on average selfish, that does not mean that they are evil enough to cheer on genocide. In fact, perhaps Holocaust Remembrance did something good: it inscribed a principle allergic reaction to gencoide, even if we consider its victims to be “different”. For some strange reason, Israeli Hasbara that claims that Palestinians are not human beings but terrorists /with continued reference to Hamas), has failed. Hamas is not on the west bank but there too, war crimes and against ethnic cleansing of Palestinians takes place in the name of “Greater Israel”. Zionism has never promised that it would be satisifed with the land it had been “given” by the British Empire. why are we so surprised that when you allow Israel (I mean the Israeli state, its settlers as well as its allies) to commit war crimes with impunity and defecate on international law, it should be bound by any form of reason let alone morality?

Netanyahu’s announcement that he will go after voices that criticize Israel for conducting a genocide is not a promise but a threat. Why should it be taken very seriously? After all, Israel is just a small country full of cowards. However, if there is one Epstein List, there might be many more. Male politicians (as well as other power brokers) may have a specific pathology that goes with the job: they like to be adored and admired. Young girls are easily pressurized or persuaded to do just that. We know enough about the Epstein-Maxwell recruitment techniques to understand how this works.

It might be the work of years of gathering compromising material on influential men in politics, media, law, finance and business, but now it is paying off. Netanyahu’s threat is a threat to western democracy. His threat is an attack on “our” (I am speaking as a European here) legal rights to express “our” opinions, state facts and demand justice. It has already started, first by denying facts, preventing the publication of facts and finally gaslighting the interpretation of facts, second by criminalizing the critique of Israel by denying a genocide committed by an ally is a genocide, and thirs, by rebranding those who criticize Israel terrorists and enemies of the state (Staatsräson).

Netanyahu is of course an expert on inflating the meaning of terrorism to refer to anything that gets in his way; he is also an expert on inflating the term anti-Semitism to such an extent that we cannot even recognize actual ant-Semitism anymore. Right now the Israeli state is an existential threat to Western democracy. It wants to spread its own version of fascism, i.e. Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Zionism, to every nook and cranny of this planet. It supports every political party as long as it both openly declares not to be aligned with fascism whilst at the same time practicing fascism. After all, it is OK if a fascist government has been elected democratically right? Then everything is fine. This is the final state of the exposure of the lies of the Enlightenment.

The good news is, that common sense does not disappear when it is threated to be expelled by force. Yes, about one third of the population might still cheer on the onwards march of Fascism, but two thirds do not. It took Israel about 60 years, for a majority of its citizens to abandon any common sense and embrace full-fledged fascism. I am afraid that among the 82% of Israelis that support genocide and/or ethnic cleansing many cannot be saved; they will not be able to return to a state of common-enough-sense to be able to live in a non-ethnocratic society. This makes any rational solution to the situation in Palestine virtually impossible. However, before we give up, we have a duty to fight for our own freedom and autonomy; our common sense must now grow in good sense; we must recognize the Beast as he has revealed himself not only in the bodies of many “political leaders”, but also as many lower-ranking editors, journalists, and pundits. We should not tolerate these obscene leaders. They should be exposed and treated with the contempt they deserve.

We should continue to expose our corrupt politicians, judges, journalists, editors, pundits, bankers and businessmen (yes men). We must expose them for what they are: cowards, deceivers, perhaps even criminals. Even if we have very little to hope for, as most of our institutions are also crippled by corruption, it will weaken them, it will draw them out to use force, and this will strengthen our good sense. As Gramsi taught us from Mussolini’s prison – indeed Jabotinsky was the exact opposite of Gramsci, he was a coward, an authoritarian and a racist – good sense is common sense infused with logic and evidence, that is, infused with what Historical Materialism can point towards in theory, but still has to be practiced, organically, in struggles, for it to become actual.
