Last Notes npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon GM ☕️ For the last week, the Zionists have been starving Gaza. Food, water and electricity have been cut off. The Congo is also being pillaged for its rare earth minerals, while a foreign army is being armed to the teeth to plunge the country into war. Children are being forced to do hard labour in the mines. Behind it all are Western governments and corporations. An unspeakable injustice is being carried out on our watch. Speak up, do your research, and spread the word using any means possible. Join a boycott movement. Vote with your conscience. Put pressure on your representatives. This is not just about West Asia and Africa. It’s about all of us. Our attachment to apathy and privilege are leading the world into dangerous territory. The slide into fascism and unbridled horror and death is happening RIGHT NOW. Wake up and act, if not for yourself, but for your children. The time is now. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Is Trump a fascist demagogue, or a pathway towards higher human consciousness? https://open.substack.com/pub/jhsimon/p/navigating-trumps-outrage-machine npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Have a basic understanding of how your dopamine circuit works. That’s the golden ticket. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Settler-colonial entities only know one way: Conquest and domination. That goes for America as well. Not sure why people refuse to comprehend this? Perhaps it’s because US and Zionist propaganda are second to none. People want so badly to believe this narrative of a benign, moralistic empire. It’s a fantasy, and nothing more. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon So moral.. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon It’s insane how the most logical and rational solution is a total pipe dream. The Zionists want the Palestinians gone, or at the very least their demographic heavily downsized. They won’t negotiate on this, even though Hasbara propaganda pushes the idea that they do, and the Palestinians don’t. The Zionists will not stop until they have ethnically cleansed the Palestinians and dominated West Asia from the Nile to the Euphrates. Iraq. Syria. Lebanon. Do you think those were coincidences? The plan is to tear the whole the whole Levant down and make whoever is left subservient. Not sure they will accept that. There will never be peace. The only path to peace is for Zionism as an ideology to be dismantled. The ‘Holy Land’ that remains must then be for all the Abrahamic religions, with no supremacist ideologies, just like it was before. That’s it. Besides that, I want to say that I love your work, Ian. Keep going please. Just widen your lens a bit on this one. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Why do beautiful women smoke? You can thank Edward Bernays for that. It started when first-wave feminism was hijacked by the cigarette companies during the ‘Torches of Freedom’ campaign. The idea of a cigarette being a symbol of female empowerment and freedom from patriarchy was insanely successful, thanks to the use of imagery of beautiful women smoking. It was too successful, however. And smoking grew to be viewed as feminine. Enter the Marlboro man. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torches_of_Freedom npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon This is Zionism. Three agonising minutes we all need to endure, since the Palestinians endure exponentially more — beyond what we can conceive. DO NOT look away. https://m.primal.net/OGxu.mov npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Absolutely. Lebanon’s sovereignty depends on Hezbollah, and has for the last 4 decades. Without them, it will be a vassal of the US at best, or a balkanised fragment of Israeli expansion. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon This is not a property dispute. It is a quest for colonial expansion and domination. ‘Thirty days’ will soon become an extended occupation, and eventual annexation. Lebanon is in a unique position where half the nation has sold out to the empire, while half retains the desire to resist. This could go the way of war again, or Hezbollah, now weakened by leadership decapitation and Assad’s demise, may be forced to accept ceding Lebanese territory to ‘Greater Israel’. The pressure is high on Hezbollah, while resistance remains an intricate part of its fabric through and through. Let’s see how they respond after the 60 days are over. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Great idea. I’ll whip something up today. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon I’ve been researching, exploring and writing about the topic of #narcissism for the last 8 years. Ask me anything about narcissists or anything related. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Absolutely. Perhaps the best part then is that you can switch to another space when needed. There’s only one Twitter with everyone on it, and we thought we were stuck with it. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Is that useful if you want to develop your own concept? npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Thanks! npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Diving down the rabbit hole right now like Alice. Excited! npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Creating your own algorithm 🤯 npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Being you in all your authentic glory can have consequences 😁 Fair. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon They all have to adhere to the core protocol, but they can layer on top of it how they like, right? npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Nostr feels like the homecoming Threads so badly wanted to be. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Booger. Apparently you can’t delete on this thing? Leaving this here for my future self to face palm himself in embarrassment ☺️ npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon So good! npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Right. With no algorithm or corporate or government intervention, the current Zeitgeist will bellow to the surface in all its magnificence (and potential ugliness). Buckle up. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Thanks. On it. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Here via @npub1xr7…2gqh, the Anti-Semite Of The Week and GOAT in exposing the corporate world. I’m an author who was radicalised by the Gaza genocide, and am incredibly excited to witness the birth of decentralised social media. Will this thing sour and become a cesspit, or will we make it a powerful tool for a spiritual revolution which brings humanity back to the world? That’s up to us. #introductions npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon This feels like being an hour early to a party which you know is going to go off. npub1008pg7s8u8x4nvcg3rarc9lkqsu8gjqdxpc4d7d6jydyt5zrrm3s6y5t52 jhsimon Are all Nostr client apps connected? So it doesn’t matter which one you use?
