The world without be a much better place if more people began practicing atheist ethics and adopting a non-religious worldview.

These papers I've written;

Charles Darwin & the Anti-Science of Consciousness,

The Scientific Enlightenment,

It is shocking to me what lessons were learned after what the Nazis did to Jewish people during the Holocaust in World War II.

Because I learned the lesson of never again, meaning never again should any group of people be so dehumanized and vilified that their extermination is justified and acted on by the people in power.

Never again should the world stand idly by while an entire people are being eradicated. And that is exactly what is happening in Gaza right now.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the modern-day Adolf Hitler because he is enacting an extermination campaign. Benjamin Netanyahu's final solution for Palestinians is their starvation, which he is carrying out right now. So, never again is happening now, and Benjamin Netanyahu is criminally responsible for doing it.

But that's what's so shocking about the conversations I've been having on Substack. Because one of the things that has been pointed out to me is that many Jewish Israelis do not think that never again applies to non-Jews or the crime of extermination. Their sense of never again is never again should Jewish people be the victims of crimes against humanity. They're perfectly fine with Jewish Israelis being the perpetrators of a genocide and that does not fall under the umbrella of never again to them. So a lot of times we're using the same words, but we don't mean the same thing.

When I say never again, I think never again should people like Palestinians be mass murdered by war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu. Never again should innocent civilians be deliberately attacked in widespread bombings and shootings and starvation campaigns. But it is very easy to get inundated with a bunch of fake news justifying what Israel is doing and lying about the circumstances of the famine in Gaza, the bombings, the causes, and all of that.

Israeli religious fundamentalists are starving children to death on purpose and they are proud of it. They are bragging about getting away with it because they think it is “Moral” to starve babies to death.

Israel’s leaders are insane, enabled by a religious fundamentalist society that cheers on this depravity. Zionist religious fundamentalists riot at food trucks sent from abroad to the starving people of Gaza to block their entry.

When the starving people of Gaza try to go fishing in the ocean, Israeli navy boats fire on the fishermen to end their lives and sink their boats. Israel effectively shut down the sea to the hungry Palestinians.

Israel wants all food in Gaza to be dependent on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, their propaganda front. The GHF took over all food distribution from all human rights groups in Gaza. Hundreds of distribution sites were reduced down to 4; it is meant as a media justification to kick out real human aid groups which had been feeding the people of Gaza so Israel could starve them while claiming they weren’t.

“Everyone should look up and listen to Anthony Aguilar who is an American Army Green Beret Veteran who resigned from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to become a whistleblower after serving in Gaza at the aid sites. He has been going around explaining exactly how the GHF is enabling the mass starvation of Gaza.

The GHF set up aid distribution sites in active combat zones miles away from where the closest civilian population is located. They are serving a small slice of Gaza while most people live further north with absolutely no food allowed in there. More than that, for the people that do go to GHF sites they are deliberately shot at by snipers and tanks for veering slightly off track. They may accidently be shot at indiscriminately as a means of crowd control too. The food being provided are things like lentils which need to be cooked before eating while the GHF does not provide any water at all. And it is on a first come first serve basis with many making the long trek to go home empty handed.

I cannot stress enough the importance of what Anthony Aguilar is exposing. As an army veteran he knows what war zones look like. As a Green Beret with 12 former combat deployments he has seen real combat situations against legitimate threats. And as a human, he strikes me as someone who is honest and morally upstanding speaking an uncomfortable truth because of his sense of duty. Please listen to what he has to say. Spread the word far and wide.”

Mike Huckabee is a genocidal war criminal deserving of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for his complicity in the starvation of Gaza.

The 2024 Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was a depressing and unsettling night for America. Biden at times seemed coherent, but those times were few and far between. For the majority of the debate Biden seemed incapable of putting a full sentence together, let alone pushing back on Trump’s numerous lies regarding abortion, immigration, and the economy. Biden appeared weak and frail, reinforcing the old age concern most Americans have been worrying about for his whole term. There seems to be universal concern over whether Biden can physically and mentally manage to effectively campaign for President this year. The more important concern is if he will make it through the next term, and if he does can he manage the job of the Presidency for another four years? If most people wouldn’t believe so, does Biden’s Vice President inspire enough confidence from the average American? Those questions have been leading many establishment democrats to finally recognize the dire need to view the threat of Trump retaking the White House seriously.

Biden has spent the last few months with unwavering support for the apartheid state of Israel while they’ve been engaged in a genocide. Biden responded to Israel’s genocide by giving the Israeli government $6.5 billion dollars in weapons, fighter jets, and other military aid, all of which happened in violation of US law and against the wishes of his base. Biden’s full-fledged support for apartheid, indiscriminate bombing, collective punishment, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war against civilians inspired hundreds of thousands of democrat voters all across the country to vote uncommitted in the Democrat primary. Biden came to power fully dependent on the support of the Bernie-left and now Bernie Sanders and his base oppose the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Instead of responding to the wishes of his base, Biden is playing chicken with our democracy against his own voters.

America needs a new political savior to save us from both Trump and Biden. That person is Bernie Sanders!

Evidence which could conclusively prove a lab leak origin of the pandemic is being illegally withheld by the United States Director of National Intelligence. Any scientific source which discounts the lab leak hypothesis yet ignores that vital context is either uninformed or is intentionally lying to their audience.

The best way to further the investigation is for the United States Congress to hold a hearing with subpoenas for the DNI plus heads of the FBI, CIA, & DoE to ask them every question of the Covid Origins Act under oath in public. Actually, Section 3 part C #1-7 are the most important part to ask the DNI.

There is an anti-science conspiracy spreading a false narrative regarding the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic. I’ve written these papers to tell the real story;

Why is there an Investigation into the Origins of Covid-19?

The Science of the Lab Leak Theory

Why Prosecute/Fauci?

Where is the Covid-19 Origins Investigation Now?

The Covid Conspiracy

and I recorded this podcast The Origin of Covid-19

First we saw the siege of Gaza as publicly declared official Israeli government policy and now a famine is happening in Gaza. Shockingly, the State Department has not yet found that Israel is blocking aid to Palestinians in a way that would trigger a pause on US military aid to Israel.

The State Department continued on The Israel Exemption from the Leahy Laws when they did not assess that the Israeli government is blocking humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza, even though a total siege is stated Israeli policy, with an Israeli minister declaring in October that they were going to cut off food, water, medicine, and electricity to all civilians in Gaza. So even though that has been the official stated policy of the Israeli government and Secretary Blinken recognized that 100% of the population of Gaza is facing severe acute food insecurity, with the UN and World Food Program warning of a mass famine and Human Rights Watch declaring that the Israeli government is using starvation as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip, the State Department still refuses to acknowledge the obvious reality that the Israeli government is trying to starve the population of Gaza, and that is a clear violation of the Foreign Assistance Act. That law says that the United States government is prohibited from funding any foreign government engaged in gross violations of human rights like restricting food, water, and medicine.

President Biden needs to;

Direct the State Department to determine if the stated Israeli policy of a siege on Gaza by cutting off food, water, electricity, and medicine to the entire civilian population violated any US or international laws like the Foreign Assistance Act.

Also, the ICC began seeking arrest warrants for members of Hamas and Israeli leadership for war crimes.

“At many stages in the advance of humanity, this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess is the central condition of progress. In our day it appears as the struggle of freemen to gain and hold the right of self-government as against the special interests, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will…To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today….Now, this means that our government, National and State, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests…so now the great special business interests too often control and corrupt the men and methods of government for their own profit. We must drive the special interests out of politics.” -Theodore Roosevelt

I discuss the New Nationalism speech and I included a condensed version of the speech itself in my Book “The Stories They Don’t Want you to Know”

I think we could end the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics through Bernie Sanders Saving American Democracy Constitutional Amendment;

“Sanders’ Saving American Democracy Amendment would make clear that corporations are not entitled to the same constitutional rights as people and that corporations may be regulated by Congress and state legislatures. It also would preserve the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of the press. It would incorporate a century-old ban on corporate campaign donations to candidates, and establish broad authority for Congress and states to regulate spending in elections.”

President Biden committed to stopping offensive weapons shipments to Israel if the Israeli Defense Force invades further into Rafah. But the IDF should have been disqualified under US law from receiving US aid since October because of their siege on Gaza. That siege, in violation of the Leahy laws, has resulted in 100% of Gaza’s population facing severe acute food insecurity with reports of mass famine. Children have already died as a result of Israel using starvation as a weapon of war against civilians. Unfortunately the Biden administration exempts Israel from Leahy vetting in the State Department so that we continue to fund those war crimes. I think Biden should instead strictly enforce the Leahy laws on all foreign aid including on Israel.
