As President Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner’s presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones. This all comes as Palestinians in Gaza struggle to survive with little food or shelter amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid.

“It’s hard to take these people seriously. I mean, they’re buffoonish. But the problem is, is that they control the largest military and economy in the world,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. He calls the Board of Peace “a parody of a colonial body” and says the plan for Gaza will result in “ultimate control and subjugation” of the Palestinian population.

      Both.

      White-supremacism AND male-supremacism ( NO macho would DARE vote for a woman leader! NO “biblical relationship” man would tolerate a woman leader. etc. ).

      That and Biden fucking-over her campaign by refusing to budge.

      Except for her total backing of in-my-opinion-psychopath Netanyahu, I think she might well have been 1 of the US’s best presidents.

      No matter:

      the people who “elected” Harris will, “I’m sure”, “prevent” Trump from using the Insurrection Act to enforce his insurrection against the US Constitution.

      “just wait: it’ll blow-over, & status-quo will re-assert normalcy: we don’t have any responsibility to act, we’re elected. We have entitlement.” or some such thing…


      The tippingpoint should be fatally crossed in Feb, by the looks of things, now…

      2nd-half of Feb looks to be the end of this world’s waltz with pseudodemocracy ( representative-republic ISN’T democracy: it is 1-times removed from that, with the electorate deciding on the citizen’s behalf what the country/region/municipality does ).

      Prep, if you can: this won’t end, once it begins.

      It’s final.

      Regional-consolidation, each region facing only its own wars, ignoring other-regions,

      Americas, Europe ( China will supplant Russia, while Putin’s playing “Tzar” rampaging Europe ), Asia ( China won’t be interfered-with while it’s rampaging Asia ), & Middle-East & Africa ( Saudi Arabia, probably, owning that empire )

      only once the regions are consolidated will the region-against-region deathmatch get going, in the 2030’s.

      Just clarifying what people aren’t seeing, is all.

      Forewarned is forarmed.

      PS: I read the beginning of her book, & she seemed sane, intelligent, thinking, & upright.

      ( I’ve thousands of books on my to-read list, so having not finished her book makes it … in the same category as all my other books! : )
