According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.
How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.
Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.
An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.
For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.
It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.
By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.
So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.
How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.
At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.
It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.
Do not even consider realities that you do not want to happen. Only commit your powerful creative mental thought energy to circumstances, potentials, and events that you want to happen in your life. Ignore everything else. This is the secret.
After reading countless books, I'd say the greatest piece of self help advice is: ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. I can think of no words that can transform your life better than these.
My brother went to his physio who made him do an interesting test that he started asking his patients:
If you have a button to win 1 million euros, and if you press it, one person dies, do you push it?
4 clicked on the button
5 did not
In the 4 who pushed on it, 2 were women
In the 5 who did none, none were women.
Apparently, the first female patient pressed on it in a second or less.
Unfortunately, my brother did not ask him the purpose of the test.
I suspect there is some payback to it.
@chefinret@AutisticClip@boneGPT They don't know that 4/20 is, as they're boomers. That's largely your issue. This joke might only land on a younger crowd.
@thetimes Formal marriage in itself has already spooked off plenty of men.
This will just drive men away from even starting a relationship.
& maybe that's the point.
Women who thinks this is an acceptable outcome lack the foresight that they too will end up in ruins.

John Cena says he doesn't want kids because he's too selfish and driven to ever be a great parent
Shannon: "At one point in time you didn't want kids. Where are you on kids now?"
John: "No, I'm still there, I'm 47, I don't have them. It's not the easiest out there, because a lot of why we're here is to reproduce"
"I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know the investment that it takes. My biggest fear is, as someone who's driven, many times stubborn and selfish, I don't think I'm personally ready nor will I ever be to invest the time it needs to be a great parent"
"I want to live life for all it is. I still have a lot to do. I have a wonderful partner I do it with, we've had open conversations about this, we share the same values"
"It's a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category, and we can't help but judge, human nature - we're all judgmental"
"This is not a knee-jerk reaction, I've thought long and hard about this even since my youngest age, like 15, 16. My opinions only hit that gray area during emotionally difficult times"
Novak Djokovic just said being bored is the most creative state a child can be in.
His son is 10 and his daughter is 7.
He says when his son told him he was bored after a morning of ping pong, kayaking, and soccer, he sat him down for a conversation most parents avoid.
"It's okay to be bored sometimes. When you're bored, it doesn't mean that you have to instantly take a book or a screen. You need to also learn how to be with your thoughts."
Djokovic says boredom is when creativity finally shows up, and it's also when everything you have been suppressing through your phone comes to the surface.
Most parents are protecting their kids from the only state that grows them.

John Hope Bryant says if you hang around nine broke people you'll be the tenth
"Billionaires don't need more money. Somebody with $100 million doesn't need more money. A Fortune 500 CEO doesn't need more money. They want relationships. It's not about what you get, but what you have to give"
"Here's the key about relationships. A giver and a giver is exotic. A giver and a taker is neurotic. A taker and a taker is psychotic. Most people have taker relationships"
"Surround yourself with givers, get the toxicity out of your life, and your whole frequency rises. The opposite is also true. If you hang around nine broke people, you'll be the tenth"
Think highly of yourself. Be unapologetic about your actions. Walk like you own the place. Move like a winner. Get things because you want them. Reality bends toward people who live as if they already have what they want. Stop waiting for permission to act like the person you are becoming.
Billionaire, Tony Robbins explains why most people never build real wealth even when they live in a system full of opportunity.
“So IPhone has ran for 18 - 19 years. If you got an iPhone each time, you spend $22,000 and some change at retail price”
“But if you bought Apple stock, same amount of money on the stock you’d be up $326,000 instead of being out $22,000”
“If you’re going to use an Apple phone then at least own the company”
“What are they making a mistake of? They’re consumers not owners. We’re a consuming society and we train our kids to be consumers as well”

Remarkable lack of self-awareness.
ella es un súcubo, una entidad que se alimenta de energía sexual. ahora está embarazada, no es una mujer cargando una entidad… es una entidad usando un cuerpo para existir en este plano, el bebé es el verdadero objetivo desde el principio, el cuerpo de la madre solo es el medio para traerlo al mundo
esto pasa frecuentemente, no solo con súcubos, con entidades
