1. Humans are highly cogno-linguistic. We perceive reality largely by the language that we use to describe it. Most everyone believes and presumes that you have to be able to think something before you can say it. The more dominant-reality is that, above a certain base-level of perception and communication, you have to have the words, language, grammar, and comprehensive-concordance-syntax by which to say something before you can think it. Whosoever controls language – controls the mind – for better or for worse.
2. The world is ever-increasingly controlled and administered by people who genuinely believe whatever is necessary for the answer they need. Administrative agents of broadly-defined entrenched-financial-power have solved the criminal-law enigma of mens rea or guilty-mind by evolving or devolving (take your pick) into professional-schizophrenics who genuinely believe whatever they need to believe for the answer they need, and who communicate among themselves subconsciously by how they name things, and by how things are named for them. They suffer a cogno-linguistically-induced diminished-capacity that renders them largely-incapable of perceiving reality beyond labels.
3. Their core business-model or modus operandi is called a systematized-delusion:
“A “systematized delusion” is one based on a false premise, pursued by a logical process of reasoning to an insane conclusion ; there being one central delusion, around which other aberrations of the mind converge.” Taylor v. McClintock, 112 S.W. 405, 412, 87 Ark. 243. (West’s Judicial Words and Phrases (1914)).
The top of the mind cogno-linguistic layer as described in paragraph one above, with paragraph two providing a good example, has another very important application. That application is spiritual or religious. Virtually all people have very stubborn language at the top of their mental and spiritual cognition. Examples of this are words such as God, Jesus, Buddha, science, politics; or texts such as the Bible, sutras, the Talmud, philosophy, Marxism, etc. From a Buddhist POV, the best thing you can do with this top cogno-linguistic category is leave it entirely open and never cling to any linguistic rendering of what it is. Rather than believe you know what God wants or means, just leave that top category open. Metaphorically, Tibetan Buddhist traditions call this the ‘sky mind’, our natural, unconditioned state of awareness — vast, clear, and open like the sky. No human can seriously claim they ‘hold’ the sky mind or know what God wants, but all humans can experience ‘the reigning principle of nature that inheres in both the universe and in us’, as Marcus Aurelius puts it. Buddhists also call the sky mind the Buddha Mind, the Tathagata, original enlightenment. Some philosophers today call it ‘mind at large’, the ‘thinking universe’ or the ‘conscious universe’. When we claim we know this ‘reigning principle of nature’ or ‘mind at large’ specifically and know verbally precisely what it wants, we prevent ourselves from actually experiencing it or being in respectful harmony with it. We delude ourselves. This is why the Buddha never answered questions about the top cogno-linguistic layer of our minds. Rather than follow words in a text that is purported to be the exact word of God, in Buddhism it is better to simply experience God or the conscious universe or the sky mind. If we remain open, humble and in awe before the sky mind and refrain from cogno-linguistic rigidity, we will free ourselves from a linguistic cage at the top of our minds. When we cling to specific cogno-linguistic stated ‘truths’ we block our minds from actually experiencing mind at large, which is all around us, God who is much bigger than we are, higher beings who do not communicate with words. No one needs a self, an identity, a rigid value or belief system. In fact, just having a self we ‘believe in’ leads to greed, anger, pride, ignorance and doubt. The freshest and most recent example of this is all three Abrahamic religions and many of their sects are at war with each other, led by false prophets and deluded leaders. Nirvana in Buddhism means the ‘going out’ or ‘extinction’ of delusion. Nirvana is enlightenment. When delusion ‘goes out’ or is ‘extinguished’ in our top cognitive categories, we are enlightened to the sky mind, we experience it. All good religions prepare us for enlightenment or experiencing the sky mind. A good Christian is better than a bad Buddhist. No human should claim within themself that they have full knowledge of God nor proclaim to others that they know what God wants of them. Leave the top category of your mind open so God, mind at large, or the sky mind can fill you with guidance. For normal mundane concerns, use you rational mind to determine what to do, supported by the best practical and moral parts of any religion, philosophy, science or art you know. ABN
Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi lectures on Kabbalistic/Zoharic prophecies about end-times events. He often discusses themes like nations (including America) facing divine judgment or humbling for historical treatment of Jews, the role of exile/redemption, and messianic-era shifts drawn from Zohar passages (e.g., on nations “squaring accounts” or bowing in recognition).
The Zohar (Hebrew: זֹהַר, “Splendor” or “Radiance”) is the central and most influential work of Kabbalistic literature, forming the cornerstone of Jewish mysticism. It is presented as a mystical commentary on the Torah, exploring the nature of God, the structure of the universe, the soul, redemption, and the relationship between the divine and the human.
Traditionally, the Zohar is attributed to the 2nd-century sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who is depicted as the central figure teaching his disciples in the text. According to tradition, he composed parts of it while hiding in a cave from Roman persecution.
However, modern scholarly consensus holds that the Zohar was primarily written in 13th-century Spain by Moses de León, a Jewish mystic. While de León claimed to be revealing an ancient text, most scholars believe he authored it himself between 1280 and 1286, possibly incorporating earlier mystical traditions. The Zohar is written mostly in a unique, artificial form of Aramaic, which supports the view of its medieval origin.
Despite debates over its authorship, the Zohar gained immense authority in Jewish thought by the 15th and 16th centuries and profoundly influenced Jewish spirituality, ethics, and ritual. It consists of multiple sections, including the main Zohar, Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, and Zohar Chadash.
Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi is a Haredi rabbi and public speaker born in 1968 in Israel. He served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) before moving to New York City in his 20s, where he worked in the financial sector. In 1997, he transitioned to full-time Torah study and teaching at the Ohr Yisrael Yeshiva in Monsey, New York, and began producing kiruv (outreach) videos online in 2004, revolutionizing Orthodox Jewish outreach through social media.
Mizrachi is the founder of the non-profit organization Divine Information, established in 1995, which aims to connect Jews to Judaism and Torah through lectures, videos, and educational resources. His website, DivineInformation.com, hosts over 700 lectures and has a global following across more than 50 countries, primarily in the U.S., Israel, Canada, and England. He has delivered over 8,000 lectures worldwide and maintains strong presences on Facebook (over 100,000 followers), YouTube, and Instagram.
The entire heat capacity of the atmosphere is equal to the top 3.5 meters of the oceans. The remaining 3,700m of the abyss is Earth’s true thermal vault.
The truth is, the Earth is a water planet and oceans cover 71% of the surface to an average depth of 2.3 miles. Ocean currents carry warm water from the mid tropics to the northern hemisphere, then the currents return after a round trip of 1,000 years. Without these currents northern Europe would look like Greenland.
Warm waters from the Roman warm period (240BC to 400AD) are still just returning to the mid latitudes. The atmosphere by comparison is a gaseous envelope that retains almost no thermal energy, hardly any CO2 and is largely controlled by ocean dynamics.
The deep Pacific itself is so massive that it is only now receiving the cold waters from the Little Ice Age. We aren’t starting from scratch, we are mid-cycle in a 4.6-billion-year-old machine.
We’ve also reinvented the climate. Once, it was a word for the local weather of robins and sparrows. Now it’s a global ideological abstraction. We’ve lost our admiration for the natural world. We count CO2 in ppm while ignoring the satellite-proven greening of the Sahara.
It’s time to move past the light breezes and offshore winds and look into the deep. Ask yourself, is the 1.4°C warming since 1850 really an unprecedented crisis?
Video footage of explosions and smoke near Jerusalem’s Old City walls, likely capturing shrapnel from an intercepted Iranian missile falling on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound during ongoing hostilities.
News reports confirm an Iranian missile detonated overhead on March 20, 2026, with fragments landing inside the Al-Aqsa compound, the third-holiest site in Islam, amid a multi-week Iran-Israel war involving U.S. troop deployments and retaliatory strikes.
This is an excellent overview of the Iran War by a well-recognized expert on Iran. Napolitano is a skilled interviewer who has the good sense to keep his videos short and to the point. For this one, I wish he had gone on longer. Parsi lays out background and ancillary information very well, and has a clear take on Israel’s underhanded role in talking Trump into this catastrophe.

There’s a lot of talk about the Marines taking Kharg Island.
But the truth is the USS Tripoli, an America-class amphibious assault ship that carries the embarked 31st MEU, can’t get anywhere near the island—the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
To even try and enter the Persian Gulf is the kind of suicidal venture former Marine Commandant, General David Berger, warned about in his 2019 Commandants Planning Guidance, where he noted that “our Nation’s ability to project power and influence beyond its shores is increasingly challenged by long-range precision fires; expanding air, surface, and sub-surface threats; and the continued degradation of our amphibious and auxiliary ship readiness. The ability to project and maneuver from strategic distances will likely be detected and contested from the point of embarkation during a major contingency…it would be illogical to continue to concentrate our forces on a few large ships. The adversary will quickly recognize that striking while concentrated (aboard ship) is the preferred option.”
And yet here we are, seven years later, a prisoner of legacy doctrine and systems.
If Marines are to attempt to take Kharg Island, it will have to be an assault launched from ashore, not from the sea. Marines and their Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft will need to deploy to Kuwait or Bahrain, both of which are currently under attack from Iranian missiles and drones, and from their attempt an air assault.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because in May 1975, US Marines carried out a similar vertical envelopment on Koh Tang island in the Gulf of Thailand. Conceived as a rescue mission to free US merchant marine sailors taken prisoner by the Khmer Rouge, the Marines instead found no prisoners, but lots of dug in Khmer Rouge fighters who ended up shooting down three of the eleven helicopters used in the initial landing, and heavily damaging five others. In the end, 38 Marines and US Air Force personnel were killed, and another 50 killed before the Marines had to be extracted under heavy fire. In the confusion of the final evacuation, three Marines were left on the island, and were subsequently captured and executed by the Khmer Rouge.
Any attempt to land Marines on Kharg Island will end in a disaster that would make Koh Tang island look like child’s play.
General David Berger knew this.
I wonder what the current Commandant, General Eric Smith, has to say about this? Back in 1990 the Marine Corps Commandant, General Al Gray, formed an ad hoc planning cell to challenge the plans being put together by General Norman Schwarzkopf to liberate Kuwait.
Does General Smith (@CMC_MarineCorps) possess the kind of intelligence and courage that General Gray had in standing up to bad ideas, or will he stand by silently as history repeats itself in the Persian Gulf, where the 31st MEU may find itself in a repeat of the Koh Tang debacle so Donald Trump can falsely declare victory over Iran.
Full quote: “The Jews, I find are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as DP [displaced persons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political, neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the underdog.”
Handwritten note by President Harry S. Truman dated July 21, 1947, summarizing remarks made during a meeting with former Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr.
This is profoundly true. The Western failure to understand human savagery and differences in ethics and morality is a root cause of the downfall of the West. At one end of the spectrum of savagery are deranged savages as described above. At the other end are deranged savages who act in groups. The most sophisticated and dangerous group at this end of the spectrum is Jewish Supremists who are very clearly pursuing a strategy of lethal parasitism against the West and also annihilation of all of their perceived enemies, which will include the West once we have helped them destroy their neighbors. Their intransigent belief in their own superiority, coupled with what appears to be gene-based self-deception, has given rise to their religious fantasy of world domination. The sheer craziness of their ideas shows that group dynamics do not need to be based on reality; indeed, group bonds can be even stronger when they are based on delusion. I mention Jewish Supremacy in this context because they are very clearly the major proponents of mass immigration invasion of the West. This should be obvious to all thoughtful Westerners by now. They also very clearly have total control over the Trump administration, as they did over Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton… ABN
