Chaim Topol, the late, award-winning actor who starred in such films as ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and ‘For Your Eyes Only’, lived a double life as an agent for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, his family has claimed in an interview with Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.

Topol, who died in Tel Aviv last month at the age of 87, was one of Israel’s most respected cultural figures – but this was, according to several members of his family, balanced with a life of conducting clandestine operations on behalf of his country’s intelligence services in London.

“I don’t know exactly what the appropriate definition is for the missions and duties he performed,”his son Omer, 61, told Haaretz. “But what is clear is that Dad was involved in secret missions on behalf of Mossad.” 

Our Russian friends cling, like pubic crabs, to international rights and treaties, more than reason. The Russian do nothing if the universal legal framework does not allow it. In a normal world where everyone respects conventions and common charters, this very fussy behaviour is normal if not commendable. However, Russia’s declared enemy is devious. As soon as international law does not serve the ambitions of the United States, America squashes it. The observation of American actions for the past 78 years certainly proves it. Uncle Sam is just a serial killer with well-identified parasitic tendencies. Its hegemonic desire is no secret to anyone. Wolfowitz is one of the notorious promoters who brainwashes us with talks of American empire.

Pentagon Leaked Papers Are Probably Fake. So Who’s Behind Them?

We should be cautious about authenticating these documents because no one has either confirmed their authenticity or dismissed them entirely as fake.

In World War II, Winston Churchill said that ‘in wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.’ Could this infamous quotation be one we should remember when we watch U.S. news outlets reporting on the bombshell leak lately supposedly from the Pentagon, which dominated western news for a few days in mid-April?

Or, put a different way, are the Americans taking us all for a ride and pretending that the leak is genuine and therefore encouraging media to examine every minutia of the documents in the hope that many of the nuggets are reported as facts?

This is the tale of two pilgrims following the road that really matters in the young 21st century; one coming from NATOstan and another one from BRICS.

Let’s start with Le Petit Roi, Emmanuel Macron. Picture him with a plastic grin in his face strolling alongside Xi Jinping in Guangzhou. Following the – long and gentle – sound of classic “High Mountain and Flowing Water”, they enter the Baiyun Hall  to listen to it played by the 1000-year-old Guqin (a beautiful instrument). They taste the fragrance of 1000-year-old tea – and muse on the rise and fall of great powers in the new millennium.

Unable to accept the reality of a growing multipolar world order, U.S. elites are willing to risk nuclear war.

In May 2022, Henry Kissinger gave a remarkable speech at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where he urged the Biden administration to seek a peace agreement in Ukraine that satisfies the Russians because “pursuing the war beyond this point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine but a new war against Russia itself.”

Joe Biden confused the All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans during his visit to Ireland in the US President’s latest gaffe.

Mr Biden appeared to mix up the New Zealand side with former British soldiers recruited as reinforcement constables during Ireland’s war of independence.

The Black and Tans earned a reputation for violence and carrying out reprisals on Irish civilians and their property. Mr Biden said,

The Pentagon documents leak could be part of a campaign by Washington to deceive Moscow, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has claimed. 

“Because the US is a party in the conflict [in Ukraine] and is essentially waging a hybrid war against us, such tricks to deceive the enemy, meaning Russia, are possible,” Ryabkov told reporters on Wednesday. “I am not saying anything definitively, but I assume different scenarios are plausible here.” 

The diplomat acknowledged that authentic classified documents have been leaked in the past. However, he added that “how much the current buzz and reports are grounded in reality is an open question for me personally.” 

LOATH HIM OR LOVE HIM, TRUMP-THE-DONALD (AND FAMILY!) IS THERE TO MASSAGE AMERICAN POLITICS (AND BUSINESS AND LIFE AND CARPETS) WITH TROMPE L'OEIL DISPLAYS OF MASTERFUL ILLUSIONS.

THANK MOG…. Thank Mog I am an atheist…  OMM! Oh my Mog!

A few years back, nearly ten years now, I wrote a book about AI — Artificial Intelligence. It was published in a very limited edition. 

Basically I advocated the importance of AI in taming our inherited natural traits of aggressiveness while not falling into the trap of submissiveness. This is (individual) evolution of homo sapiens: we are born in pain and we die.

In between all this, we, individually and socially, try to make sense of what’s what. And most we really need is food. Daily preferably. In order to get this essential ingredient, we kill beasts, we destroy carrots and we fight each other or we look at each other as if we’re aliens…

THE HEADING OF THIS ARTICLE COMES FROM A FAMOUS CONTROVERSIAL NOVEL: SISTER CARRIE (1900) Chapter XLII, BY THEODORE DREISER. This novel WAS POSSIBLY MORE RISQUE THAN THE EUROPEANS AND ENGLISH NOVELS AT THE TIME. IT WAS ABOUT PURSUING THE "AMERICAN DREAM"... WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS ILLUSION IS ON A GREATER PLANE THAN ORDINARY HAPPINESS AND DECENT COMPANIONSHIP?...

Spring (1921)

To what purpose, April, do you return again? 

Beauty is not enough. 

You can no longer quiet me with the redness 

Of little leaves opening stickily. 

I know what I know. 

The sun is hot on my neck as I observe 

The spikes of the crocus. 

The smell of the earth is good. 

It is apparent that there is no death. 

But what does that signify? 

Not only under ground are the brains of men 

Eaten by maggots. 

Armed FBI agents have arrested a 21-year-old military reservist believed to be behind the leaking of classified Pentagon briefings, including on the conflict in Ukraine. The government was assisted in its manhunt by the same media organizations that published the contents of the files.

Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed the arrest of Jack Teixeira on Thursday afternoon, shortly after the FBI announced that its agents had conducted an “authorized law enforcement activity” at his home in North Dighton, Massachusetts. 

Earlier on Thursday, the New York Times (NYT) identified Teixeira as the figure responsible for posting hundreds of classified military documents on a Discord server where the paper said “about 20 to 30 people, mostly young men and teenagers, came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games.” 

AS OUR ILLUSTRIOUS AMERICAN "INTELLIGENCE" AGENCIES ARE STILL WORKING HARD TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF COVID (BATS — PANGOLINS — RACCOON DOGS — OR LABS [Ukrainian, Chinese, American?]) THE PANDEMIC WAS A BOON FOR PHARMACEUTICALS WHO MANUFACTURED VACCINES OF VARIOUS EFFICACITY, WITH THE EXPRESS BLESSING OF GOVERNMENTS FOR COMPULSORY VACCINATIONS, WITH NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR SIDE-EFFECS (AND THERE WERE MANY) SINCE PRESIDENT REAGAN ABOLISHED SUCH RESPONSIBILITY.

VACCINE MANDATES BECAME PART OF A TACTIC BY GOVERNMENTS WORLDWIDE AND SOME STRANGE (MIS?) INFORMATION CAME TO LIGHT IN REGARD TO MANIPULATION OF DATA AND POOR LAB PRACTICES.
