Israelis now find themselves at the cusp of a new era defined by the breakdown of the country’s legal system, political crisis and social instability.
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, must be channeling the spirit of Houdini as he continues to plot his escape from one of the most convoluted political dilemmas in Israel’s history.
It is no secret that Netanyahu’s political behavior is almost entirely shaped by his desire to survive in office for as long as possible in order to avoid possible jail time. But how long will the Israeli escape artist manage to survive, now that a date for his trial has already been set?
After months of bargaining with the country’s political elite, on one hand, and pleading to his own right-wing constituency on the other, Netanyahu has failed to create the necessary momentum that would render him immune from prosecution and secure his position at the helm of Israeli politics.
After failing to form a government following the April elections, Netanyahu has masterfully linked his fate as a Prime Minister to all of Israel’s affairs, internal and external.
Still, there is little evidence that Netanyahu’s diplomatic and financial conquests have yielded the intended results of augmenting his support among ordinary Israelis, especially as Benny Gantz, who heads the Kahol Lavan (Blue and White) party, has continued to venture further to the right, slowly undermining Netanyahu’s support in every facet of Israeli society. The September election has demonstrated Gantz’s ability to overcome Netanyahu’s various political advantages in the eyes of the Israeli voters.
Israelis are scheduled to return to the voting booths on March 2, to vote in the third general elections in less than one year. Within that short period of time, Gantz has managed to repeatedly alter his persona to behave like a right-wing politician, while still presenting himself as a centrist, who is willing to engage with the left in order to build a future government coalition.
Knowing that the noose has tightened around his neck since the first elections in April, Netanyahu resorted to Washington to release its so-called ‘Deal of the Century’.
Indeed, the ‘Middle East plan’ was revealed ahead of schedule to provide the despairing Israeli leader a final lifeline that would help him win his multiple battles in a decisive blow.
Alas, for Netanyahu, things did not work out as planned.
The story was meant to proceed as such: the Donald Trump administration would reveal the plan that would give Israel everything and give Palestinians nothing; Netanyahu would, naturally, take full credit for his greatest achievement in office and would follow that by annexing all illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank, in addition to the entire Jordan Valley.
This, however, did not happen. On February 4, Netanyahu reversed his earlier decision to annex much of the West Bank before the scheduled elections. Instead, he told a campaign rally that such annexation is conditioned to his victory in the upcoming elections.
While many in the media parroted, without evidence, that the postponement of the annexation is a direct result of a request made by Washington, the real reason is likely related to Netanyahu’s own political woes at home.
Netanyahu must be aware that the ‘Deal of the Century’ and the annexation of the West Bank cards are his last hope to secure a comfortable election victory, to be granted immunity, and to avoid serving jail time for corruption.
But, what if Netanyahu annexed parts of the West Bank but failed to win the elections? In that scenario, the embattled Israeli leader would have no more wiggle room and zero political advantage for a future plea bargain.
This explains the sudden halt in Netanyahu’s annexation plan, especially as the Prime Minister had, at a recent campaign rally, presented annexation in the form of a political barter.
“When we win, we will extend sovereignty over all the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria,” Netanyahu reportedly said, with reference to the annexation of the occupied Palestinian West Bank.
As a consolation prize and to avoid angry reactions by the country’s right-wing constituency, especially the politically well-organized Jewish settlers, Netanyahu announced on February 20 that he would revive a long-dormant plan to construct 3,000 new homes for illegal Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem.
“Today I approved the construction in Givat Hamatos of 3,000 homes for Jews,” Reuters reported, with 2,000 more homes expected to be built in the Har Homa illegal settlement as well.
These moves are particularly significant, for such construction will completely isolate the Palestinian city of Bethlehem from occupied East Jerusalem, thus killing any hope for Palestinian territorial contiguity in any future state.
Netanyahu’s adversaries in the opposition, in the government, and in the Supreme Court are, of course, wary of Netanyahu’s shenanigans.
While Gantz often responds to Netanyahu’s opportunistic moves, largely by upgrading his own political position to match, or even surpass his opponent’s position, support for the Prime Minister at the Knesset is lukewarm, at best. In fact, on January 28, Netanyahu was forced to withdraw his request for immunity, knowing that the request would not receive the needed support.
Meanwhile, the legal proceedings regarding Netanyahu’s corruption cases continue unabated.
According to the Israeli Justice Ministry, Netanyahu will be obligated to attend his trial in the Jerusalem District Court, even in his capacity as a Prime Minister and regardless of what transpires in the March 2 elections. A three-judge panel will hear the case, where Netanyahu would have to divide his time between running Israeli affairs and fending against accusations of his own corruption.
This is an uncharted territory for Israel. Never before in Israel’s history has the ruling elite been faced with such legal and political dilemmas.
Since Israel continues to operate without a constitution and, because this is the first time that a sitting Prime Minister will face a trial, the Supreme Court is the only authority that is able to interpret the country’s laws in order to advance the legal proceedings. But even that is problematic.
Ayelet Shaked, the controversial—and often vulgar—former Justice Minister, is already attempting to derail that likelihood, as she has openly warned the country’s Supreme Court justices that any involvement in the political process would be “tantamount to a coup.”
Israelis now find themselves at the cusp of a new era, one that is defined by the breakdown of the country’s legal system, prolonged political crisis and never-ending social instability.
Very similar to America with societal breakdown as well as breakdown of the legal system and political parties. In America, government employees perceive themselves to be nobility, entitled to violate the rights and property of the citizens, who they perceive to be their subjects and even slaves. They beleive that they are entitled to violate citizens rights, but that their own high crimes, tyranny, and treason should not be questioned or known to the public, which is why Assange, Manning, Schulte and other whistle blowers are in prisons, and Snowden is in Russia. The government has the ludicrous audacity to engraciate themselves with The Honorable preceding their names, while they are completely without honor at all.
The government commits espionage and sexpionage on American citizens!
It is not only journalists that they target, unfortunately, which is the reason that they are so upset with Assange and Snowden, who informed the public that the government considers themselves to be nobilty and have ingratiated themselves with the misnomer The Honarable preceding their names, being just one of many constitutional violations since the condtitution specically prohibits granting title of nobiility.
The surveillance cult of satanists have destroyed the meaning of life and any reason to live. They have destroyed intimacy, love, liberty, personal security, national security, international security, and ecological security. They are also trying to destroy faith in God, since it dimishes their abilities to control through terrorism. They commit espionage and sexpionage on citizens, corporations, and other world leaders. Since God did not forgive Satan, neither should we! Devil be damned! Death to the government! Live free or die!
This is a banana republic failed state full of pirahnas that lynch mobs single women. It does’nt get any worse than that. Scott Walker, Tony Evers, James Brunnquell, Alberta Darling, Dewey Stroebel, Glenn Grothman, Tammy Baldwin, Ron Johnson, and Donald Trump have all been notified, in addition to the Grafton police, and the FBI. Too busy soliciting campaign donations, handng out traffc tickets, and Russia, Russia, Russia.
If it wouldn’t be the coronavirus, they would blame it on the weather. This is the longest period that the market has been in a secular bull market without a significant correction in my lifetime, coinciding with totally creative accounting gimmicks that are actually outright fraud.
The NYSE will be shutting down supposedly because of the coronavirus and traders will be trading from home for a practice run. Why? Can everyone else work from home to protect themselves from the coronavirus if they choose to? So Bloomberg and CNBC will be interviewing traders from their homes to push their agendas? It’s been a long time since the media was not directly involved in the day to day operations of the NYSE. It will be interesting to find out how this works out, or doesn’t work out, since the markets cannot function without rumors.
Imaging getting your wallet stolen and having a law enforcement officer retreiving the stolen wallet from the theif and when attempting to hand the wallet back to you, the theif intervenes and claims that it is unfair to give all of the money in the wallet back to you since it was in his posession when retreived from police, and some of the currency in the wallet may have been used by one of his distant ancestors in past without any proof that that was the case. The police say no, it all belongs to the victim, and then the theif starts accusing the police of discriminating against him for not seeing that the truth lies somewhere in between. This is the absurdidty of the nation of Israel, which entire concept is land theft, murder, racism, and genocide.
Rule number one, don’t negotiate with theives. Palestinians have to find a better way than Abbas who expects them to just accept it, or placte and delay. Clearly, the PLA and Abbas are Israeli assets.
I meant the PLO. Sorry for the mistake. I know that the ability of the PLA has been limited in defending itself because of sanctions.
It looks as though Putin and Xi may quickly be losing credibility in the Middle East over Idlib and raw deals and treatment with the Iranian government. From what I understand, the majority of people currently in Idlib are migrants including Uilgars from China and people from Turkey. It seems odd that Putin and Erdogan would strike a deal over Idlib without Assad. The Israelis are hell bent on fighting anyone they proclaim to be Iranian, in the same context that the U.S. government is fighting any media user or anyone that they proclaim to be Russian. In both cases with Israel/Iran and U.S./ Russia all that it actually boils down to is anyone that disagrees with us.
Obviously, many Republicans are voting for Biden in open primary and two tiered primary states. Trump was afraid of running against Sanders.
When there is no difference between the DNC establishment and the Republicans, Democratic voters really ought to be demanding for heads to roll at the DNC!
Biden is obviously mentally incompetent and Dr. Biden is obviously a corrupt and modern version of Cruella Deville for allowing her husband to run for president with full knowledge that he is mentally incompetent to do anything other than ride the train.
Living in America is not safe. Living in America is now like a child whose entire family are retarded criminal gang members demanding that the non-retarded child obey them. This is now America Syndrome!
On the bright side, everyone has a zero percent chance of survival in the long run.
The retarded psychopaths are in charge! See if they can manage to figure out what to do with all of the nuclear waste after they acheive their goals of depopulation!
The new faces of fascism and propagandists are revealing themselves during this government manufactured at Fort Detrick bio-weapons lab, shut down by the CDC for repeated failures to prevent bio-weapons pathogen leaks, and after the U.S. military games in Wuhan happened to be just prior to the Wuhan outbreak, and from a military with a long and sorted history of performing sadistic, illegal, and unethical medical experimentation on service members, veterans, and the general public.
Sadly, they happen to be on Sputnik radio. Perhaps not surprisingly, but disappointingly, one is ex-CIA whistle blower who I once admired John Kiraiakou, Brian Becker, Sputnik producer Michelle Rouselle who is a former OFA organizer who also worked for the Department of Health, by her admission, as well as other Sputnik radio show hosts.
These individuals are criticizing Trump for failing to become a full blown authoritarian fascist dictator. They claim that only the government can rescue us from this crisis. Michelle Rouselle is claiming that Caltrans is an evil private corporation that seized homes under publc domain, but Caltrans is the state of California’s Department of Public Transportation. The government owns the majoritynof vacant homes after the take overs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It is also the government that owns all student debt.
These are simply inconvenient facts for these individuals. Sputnik has obviously been subverted by the CIA!
Mike Tyson seems to be a level headed no nonsense guy, who just announced his retirement from the ring saying ” fame is $#!+”
Based on the many famous deep fakes that I have been witnessing, and by accounts of musicians lyrcs, like Bush “Fame is a whore”, I would have to agree. The cost of fame is the loss of a private life and virtual anonimity.
It appears to me that the CIA targets the famous based on my observations, and attempts to subvert their lives demandng them to captiulate to their long list of demands and total control. It would appear that fame is a form of slavery in some respects.
Congratulations on a smart move Mike Tyson, particularly saving yourself from brain damage of successive concussions in the ring! Contact sports are dangerous and there is even evidence that head butting a soccerball can cause brain damage, particularly since childrens skulls are fragile and their brains are not fully developed until age 21.

TPTB commit high crimes in a money laundering fraud scheme diverting money from the Pentago to Wall Street while leaving most in destitute, using war as an excuse to raid tens of trillions of dollars from future tax payers against seven countries that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks that they themselves commited. Financially overextended yet again, for the fourth time in 33 years, the new enemy that they created to go to war against is the coronavirus. Their lives are destined to be cover-ups of cover-ups of cover-ups, in a never ending life of lies and fraud.
These retarded psychopaths made the decisions that they are willing to commit their lives to being evil and serving evil. After a commitment f such an ill nature, they have lost all that there really is to lose of any value. Any material gains will serve as reminders of how evil and disgusting they are, in addition to what frauds they are. They will never be happy. They will never experience inner peace. Their inner lives will be filled with intense turmoil of their own creations.
The fascist’s on the left in particular in America reaction to CoVID19 have led me to the realization that American society is an inescapable prison. The only way out is death. I seriously hope that I get CoVID19 and die from it. Preferably today. At least I will be free from the psychopaths then.
Surgical masks are worn to prevent individuals from spreading infections, not to prevent people from receiving infections. As most know, there is a shortage of surgical masks.
A paper bag would probably be more effective in preventing one from receiving an infection, since it covers the entire face and neck. A square hole could be cut out with plastic taped to the inside for visibility.
I know that it is not what people are accustomed to, but people are not accustmed to quarantines and toilette paper shortages either, or being told that sporting games will be cancelled, as well as mandatory shut downs of businesses and gatherings. Wearing a paper bag beats the hell out of all of those as far as I’m cncerned, and would allow more normality than the alternative, with far less economic degradation!
America and Israel are backwards fascist countries that hold the insane ideologies that the feelings of abusive, pathological lying tyrants and psychopaths take legal and moral precidence over the victims that they have harmed.
If their feelings are hurt by the truth being told they should examine their own behaviors.
It would be very similar to the Nazis claiming that Jewish concentrationcamp victims hurt the Nazis feelings for publicizng the abuses.
The confounding juxtapositions of contradictory perceptions of the megalomaniacs that rule in Israel and America is that the megalomaniacs egos are so massive that they know of no boundaries, yet are so cowardly that they cannot be threatenned by the truth or any criticsm and must engage in censoring all descent. They are totally delusional and their delusions must be shattered. Bullshit is not only their fertilzer, but they cannot survive without bullshit. They would wither away and die without it. It is why Assange is where he is. It is a survival tactic for the evil megalomaniacs. Obeying and cooperating with them should be avoided by any means necessary.
What a suspicious coincidence that Saudi Arabia launched its OPEC price war the exact same day that the International Criminal Court had announced its decision to proceed with war crime investigations of U.S. and Afghani officials. Of course everyone has been so distracted by the COVID-19 by design, as they were with the faked 9/11 attacks. Hat tricks. We are hot on the trail. Same old same old. You can’t teach an old rabbit new tricks.

TPTB are jst going to have to admit that they have been committing financial fraud, because all of the facts and math prove that they have, not once, but constantly. TPTB are also going to have to admit that they have committed treason and national and international terrorism, because all of the facts prove that they have, not once, but constantly. TPTB will also have to admt that they have committed medical fraud, not once, but constantly, because all of the facts prove that they have.
If they cannot admit it, they can commit suicide. Those are their choices. The more that they deny and lie, the shittier they look.
How it is that grown adults can be oblivious to the fact that lyng does not change reality is a baffling mystery to me.
If lying changed reality, I could say that I was a multi-billiobaire and billions of dollars would magically appear in my bank account, or I could say that The Saudi royal family all died of the COVID-19 and that I am now the Queen of Saudi Arabia, and they would all be dead, and I would own all of Saudi Arabia and all of its oil.
Why TPTB think that they can get away with this is the eight wonder of the world!
San Antonio Texas has the world’s largest bat cave population with 15 million Mexican free tailed bats, hosting tours and hikes at the Backen Bat Cave purchased by Bat Conservation International.
Logic would place this as ground zero for the corona viruses that have been occuring in this country and throughout the world, then transported to Fort Detrick Bio-weapons lab to be used for population control in an act of domestic and international terrorism to prevent the spread of the truth about the fourth financial fraud induced economic collapse in 33 years.
http://www.batcon.org/
The Mexican free tailed bat is also referred to as the Brazillian free tailed bat. It was discovered in 2017 that the species has had coronavirus A.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5456339/?report=classic
Also noteworthy is that coronavirus A has not been detected in Asian or European bats.
Even though exercise is considered essential, the instigators at the Milwaukee Police Department are getting antsy and uncomfortable with everyone abiding by the law, denying the MPD their need to abuse people and will issue a statement. They miss arresting people. They get off on throwing their weight around, like all mentally incompetent wimps and total losers!
https://www.tmj4.com/news/coronavirus/local-and-state-officials-warn-social-distancing-violations-could-result-in-arrests
Of course those would be false arrests, since no crimes had been committed!
What is taking place with the coronavirus in America by the Medical Mafia is nothing short of national terrorism! These are psychopaths that have obviously colluded to be mentally incompetent until all of the demands that they are seeking have been fulfilled while we are all held hostage, they don’t give a damn about life at all and should not be rewarded for their fascist terrorism!
It is not possble to believe that none of these long established companies were incapable of developing an accurate test kit! Did terrorists sabotage the test kits, or was this deliberate incompetency used to create a national emergency until all of their greedy and power grab demands have been met?!
The Medical Mafia currently commits $700 billion to $925 billion of medical fraud a year and medical error is the third leading cause of death in America.
The Medical Mafia had its feelings hurt for being sued by state and local governments for the opioid crisis which they had created and was enabled by the FDA and congress.
We have been held hostage by fascist psychopaths!
Death to the fascists!
I cannot get on board with nationalizing essential failing corporations as a result of government frivolous spending on itself.
What really must take place is that all government employees at every level have a pay rate no higher than the median average, with nothing more than Social Security and Medicare for retirement, just as every other American with very few exceptions now has been granted.
Until they are forced to live under the same conditions that they have forced Americans to live under, we cannot realistically expect any improvement.
When businesses fail, assets are liquidated and distrubted to bond holders.
To assume that the business would simply cease to exist is based on a false predicate, because the business would likely be purchased by someone else and under new management.
It must just be a coincidence that governments around the world are responding exactly the same way holding citizens hostage in an effort to induce Stockholm Syndrome.
Did I happen to mention that the parent of WHO World Health Organization just happens to be United Nations Economic and Social Council Formation? It must just be another coincidence that the Economic Council that was responsible for the biggest fraud mandated total societal and economic collapse that prohibits anybody from socializing and embarrassing the psychopaths children and the psychopaths themselves as a result of narcisstic injury from deliberate economic fraud and war crimes!
There wouldn’t be a problem paying back bond holders if stock buy backs did not take place. Pathological liars claim that it is the fault of capitalism, but it is the fault of financial fraud and corruption!
Unfortunately, we are obviously in a Hitler Revival movement on steroids!
WHO the fuck are you!?!
Death to the fascists!

They are still ISO Leibenstraum, and are apparently willing to go to any lengths to get it!
Ironically, Sweden is one of the few countries that has not closed schools and/or businesses as a result of the coronavirus, but did recently limit gatherings to 50 people.
Sweden rightfully believes that the coronavirus response has been politically motivated. Pubs, restaurants, and ski resorts remain open. What do the fascist central planners have to say about that? They always use Sweden as a role-model. Why not on this?
Futures markets are down. AGAIN! Imagine that?! Why aren’t S&P futures down 2,400 points in this new fascist nonconomy?!
I know that the thing to say is that it is greedy to worry about the economy, overlooking the fact that we live in a society that necessitates purchasing things for survival, and heeding way to fascist,psychopath, opportunistic dictators that are abusing us and holding us hostage is not the optimal survival strategy for sane people!
