Israel’s actions in Syria are not about security—they are about survival in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. In this talk, Shahid Bolsen explains how Israel’s territorial expansion and buffer zone strategy are desperate attempts to maintain relevance as the Middle East transitions toward *collective sovereignty*.
From the occupation of the Golan Heights to the manipulation of sectarian divisions among Alawites, Druze, and Christians, Israel is using every tool at its disposal to prolong instability and delay its inevitable absorption into the emerging regional order. But these moves are not signs of strength; they are acts of desperation.
The new Middle East, led by regional hegemons like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Iran—with support from BRICS powers—no longer needs Israel to function as a Western proxy. Zionism, as an expansionist ideology, is incompatible with this new reality.
Western critics call Syria’s leadership “undemocratic” while ignoring the fact that democracy has never been a prerequisite for good governance. What matters is results: stability, security, and the protection of national interests.

Real-world game theory. Well-worth watching for a deeper understanding of Israel, Zionism, and the Middle East. Many of Bolsen’s points apply to Trump and how he is behaving toward Israel, Russia, Europe, and USA. KOBK and hardcore game theory is the only way to really understand world politics, or any politics for that matter. So far, in my view, Trump has been playing the game very well. When people said he was acting as Netanyahu’s servant when he tucked in his chair, I saw the opposite. When Trump deals directly with Putin and sidelines not only the execrable Zelensky but also all of Europe, he is playing the game very well indeed. America First is KOBK. And the only way any nation should be governed. See Top of the World Alliance for more. ABN
Before the Depression and World War 2, the only interaction most Americans had with the federal government was when they went to the post office. It’s one of the oldest federal institutions, having been there since the founding, and it’s one federal agency that, unlike so many others, is specifically authorized in the Constitution; Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, gives Congress the power to “…establish Post Offices and post Roads.”
That doesn’t mean the Postal Service is immune from being expected to operate efficiently or that its operations couldn’t use some modernization and improvement. Now we can chalk up another win for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The United States Postal Service will be working with the DOGE to cut billions from their budget.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to cut 10,000 workers and billions of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service budget and he’ll do that working with Elon Musk ‘s Department of Government Efficiency, according to a letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday.
DOGE will assist USPS with addressing “big problems” at the $78 billion-a-year agency, which has sometimes struggled in recent years to stay afloat. The agreement also includes the General Services Administration in an effort to help the Postal Service identify and achieve “further efficiencies.”
USPS listed such issues as mismanagement of the agency’s retirement assets and Workers’ Compensation Program, as well as an array of regulatory requirements that the letter described as “restricting normal business practice.”
He also promises to honor Trump’s request to spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers trapped behind Russian lines. Once you understand the importance of good Russian-American relations, you will understand the game theory Trump and Putin are pursuing despite European stupidity (which is already beginning to shift). Good Russian-American relations are the necessary foundation for a prosperous and peaceful world. See this for more: The Top of the World Alliance. ABN
This article explores the hypothesis that modern East Asian populations inherited and maintained extensive psychosocial adaptations to arctic environments from ancestral Ancient Northern East Asian populations, which inhabited arctic and subarctic Northeast Eurasia around the Last Glacial Maximum period of the Late Pleistocene, prior to back migrating southwards into East Asia in the Holocene. I present the first cross-psychology comparison between modern East Asian and Inuit populations, using the latter as a model for paleolithic Arctic populations. The comparison reveals that both East Asians and the Inuit exhibit notably high emotional control/suppression, ingroup harmony/cohesion and subdomain unassertiveness, indirectness, self and social consciousness, reserve/introversion, cautiousness, and perseverance/endurance. The same traits have been identified by decades of research in polar psychology (i.e., psychological research on workers, expeditioners, and military personnel living and working in the Arctic and Antarctic) as being adaptive for, or byproducts of, life in polar environments. I interpret this as indirect evidence supporting my hypothesis that the proposed Arcticist traits in modern East Asian and Inuit populations primarily represent adaptations to arctic climates, specifically for the adaptive challenges of highly interdependent survival in an extremely dangerous, unpredictable, and isolated environment, with frequent prolonged close-quarters group confinement, and exacerbated consequences for social devaluation/exclusion/expulsion. The article concludes with a reexamination of previous theories on the roots of East Asian psychology, mainly that of rice farming and Confucianism, in the light of my Arcticism theory.
The young Maine child who was given a controversial and experimental Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA injection at a public school without his parents consent may not have immunity from Covid-19. But the doctor who delivered the non-consensual shot and the powerful hospital system that supplied it do. Legal immunity, that is.
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court decided on March 4 in Hogan v. Lincoln Medical Partners that the hospital system and its affiliates are fully immune from legal liability after administering an experimental mRNA injection to a five-year-old child without parental consent.
The ruling, issued March 4, affirms a lower court decision that dismissed the case brought by parents Jeremiah Hogan and Siara Jean Harrington, whose child was injected with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot at a school clinic in November 2021. The couple had sued the healthcare provider, its parent company MaineHealth, and the physician who administered the shot, alleging a litany of offenses, including medical malpractice, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
MaineHealth is the largest hospital operator in the state of Maine and employs more than 24,000 workers, including Dora Mills, the sister of Gov. Janet Mills, who serves as the “Chief Health Improvement Officer.”
Though it was clear at the time the vax was not safe, since then it has been proved the vax is dangerous. The state should never have the right to overrule parents or do medical procedure without their consent. This is basic to USA legal rights and freedoms. In retrospect, the Constitution was right and the doctors and the hospitals and the state and federal governments were wrong. Right there is why you do not interfere with parents rights or anyone’s right to refuse medical treatment, nor do you restrict their freedom to speak about what is going on. The conspiracy theorists were way more right about everything covid while the government and the, now dead, legacy media were way more wrong about everything. This is an example none of us who lived through it should ever forget. Covid illustrates from many angles the fundamental, inalienable importance of individual rights as spelled out in the US Constitution. All culture needs some bedrock upon which to found itself. USA’s is our magnificent Constitution. ABN
This is the approximate proportion, including Republicans, of our population who are fundamentally totalitarian in their thinking. Totalitarianism shows most when we are under pressure, when people are afraid, when real courage is tested. Independents usually lie somewhere between Dems and GOPs, though they tend to be more supportive of individual freedoms and rights. Not a pretty picture however you look at it. The covid years should always be remembered and often recalled. Vast numbers of people in USA and globally completely caved to mind-control so serious they injected extremely dubious gene therapy even into their children. At the same time, dissenting ‘conspiracy theorists’ were right about almost everything, thus proving yet again that freedom of speech is our most important right. ABN
Great interview, many good points made clearly and succinctly. Lutnick is another prominent Jew we can all like and admire, provided he is not a covert Jewish Supremist. There are a large number of Jewish Supremists, both covert and overt, within the Jewish community, so it is more than reasonable for interviewers to ask Lutnick if he is a Jewish Supremist, and if he disavows Jewish Supremacy if he claims not to be one. He has dubious connections with Jeffrey Epstein and should be asked about that as well. If he can answer honestly and evidence backs up his answers on Epstein and Jewish Supremacy, he would be a reasonable candidate for president of USA in 2028. I am not sure I would support him due to lingering suspicion, but if he really is clean and shows it, I would support him if he had the best chance to win. And I would definitely support him if he wins the presidency, with the same provisos in place. I look forward to the day when we we can openly draw a line between Jewish Supremists and Jews who despise Jewish Supremacy. When that day comes, Jews like Lutnick and Stephen Miller, who appear to be unreservedly pro-American, will be able to lead the Jewish community toward a non-Supremist future, allowing them to make a real contribution to USA and Western civilization and not just always take from it.

In more than a few ways this decision is even more crazy than District Judge Beryl Howell’s prior rulings.
Judge Howell (pictured below) issued a temporary restraining order, blocking President Trump from barring the law firm of Perkins Coie from representing federal contractors.
There are a few outlines of the hearing HERE and HERE that essentially tell the story. Consider this quote:
“When you say that if the president, in his view, takes the position that an individual or an organization or a company is operating a way that is not in the nation’s interests, he can issue an executive order like this and take steps to bar that individual, that entity, that company from doing any business with the government, terminate whatever contracts they’ve got, bar them from federal buildings,” Howell said. “I mean, that’s a pretty extraordinary power for the president to exercise.”
Yes, and that’s called the power of the presidency. Apparently Judge Howell has never heard of ‘executive power’ that allows the elected President of the United States to determine what is in our nation’s best interests. Approving his ability to make these decisions, is what that whole voting thing is all about.
This is a good talk. Putin expresses reasonable concerns but no deal-breakers. If Zelensky is kept on a very short leash and European war-mongers are kept quiet, there is a very good chance this will move ahead and hostilities will end for good. ABN
