There are two conclusions that emerge: the people of Gaza are being severely victimized for reasons remote from the rockets and border security concerns, but seemingly to improve election prospects of current leaders now facing defeat, and to warn others in the region that Israel will use overwhelming force whenever its interests are at stake.Noted. Now tell me how it comes to be that Zionism is so brutal. In search of the root I back off far enough from this screen to take in the Holocaust and the Carboniferous Period. Let’s say Christ came, took one look and found the oil. Knowing that there would be strife, he tried to show the local semitic tribes the path to charity. He was crucified for his efforts and twelve tribes got blamed for it, so much so that they had to leave and roam the diaspora. This experience gave them a unique skill at surviving by which they evolved into possibly the most creative race on earth. Many resented, and resent, the Jews. This made it easy for Hitler to use them as targets in his conquest for power. The degree of cruelty he was able to instill in his followers – clinical experiments in the US have shown how this is done – the degree of cruelty established a standard for hypocrites the world over to prove them virtuous. Not like Hitler.
This cruelty has been put forward to explain Zionist’s overreaction to affront – the abused abuses. But if so, why is it that those survivors of the Holocaust who did not yearn for Zion, who came here, went there, not to Palestine, those, have not evinced the slightest bent toward cruelty? So what seems to be the situation with Israel is that some Jews who have always wanted to re-write the Bible were given the chance by Britain to elbow the Palestinians aside, so to give the West a beachhead in petro-land. In the beginning oil, then oil, now, oil. No oil, no wall. What is happening in Gaza is a nice little proxy for Britain and the US to maintain the beachhead. The original obsession of the Zionists is proving to be most useful.
But does oil explain why a nation of motherhood and apple pie and purple mountain majesties and freedom could countenance such evil. (means able to look at it without gagging) I do think that even at this late date we do not realize the power and inhumanity of the US oligarchy. If we did, then we would not waste time nipping at heels. The kind of action that’s called for is illustrated by the story of ripple rock:
Ripple Rock was a submerged twin-peak mountain that lay just nine feet beneath the surface of Seymour Narrows in British Columbia. The current there reaches up to 17 miles an hour. Ripple Rock sank 120 vessels and took 114 lives. It earned a reputation as the fiercest, and arguably, the most dangerous area for nautical navigation in North America. (from Wikipedia)As early as 1931, a Marine Commission recommended removing Ripple Rock, but it was not until 1942 that the government authorized attempts to remove it. There was political opposition to the destruction of Ripple Rock, as some felt it would serve well as a bridge support to connect Vancouver Island to the mainland.
The first attempts at planting explosive charges on Ripple Rock were made with floating drilling barges with the goal of blasting away the rock in pieces. The first, in 1943, was secured with six 3.8 cm steel cables attached to anchors that altogether weighed 998 metric tons. This approach was abandoned when one cable broke on average every 48 hours. Another attempt in 1945, involving two large overhead steel lines was similarly abandoned after only 93 (out of 1500 planned) controlled explosions were successful.
In 1953, the National Research Council of Canada commissioned a feasibility study on the idea of planting a large explosive charge underneath the peaks by drilling vertical and horizontal shafts from Maud Island . Based on the study, this approach was recommended. The project cost in excess of 3 million Canadian dollars. Between November 1955, and April 1958, a three-shift operation involving an average of 75 men gouged a 174 meter vertical shaft from Maud Island, a 762 meter horizontal shaft to the base of Ripple Rock, and two main 91 meter vertical shafts into the twin peaks, from which "coyote" shafts were drilled for the explosives. 1,270 metric tons of Nitramex 2H explosives were placed in these shafts, estimated at ten times the amount needed for a similar explosion above water. The explosion took place at 9:31:02 am on April 5, 1958. 635,000 metric tons of rock and water was displaced by the explosion, sending debris 300 meters in the air.
