High suicide rates among IDF combat soldiers is skyrocketing problem

The Israeli sources have acknowledged severe psychological trauma among Israeli military personnel due to the Gaza conflict, admitting that 43 soldiers have committed suicide since the start of war on Gaza in October 7, 2023, according to Saed News article in July 8, 2025. On August 3, 2025, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported that 7 IDF soldiers died by suicide in July. PTSD Veterans are desperately trying to stop the next one. "We have one goal: Stop the next suicide": A surge in soldier suicides among the IDF has driven longtime PTSD survivors to camp outside the IDF Headquarter. The state of Israel is not sending soldiers to jail for refusing to return to Gaza after they killed children or intentionally shooting themselves in the limbs, according to the Middle East Eye article. Deliberately blowing up innocent civilians, watching while dogs eat body parts, running over pregnant women on the way to the hospital to deliver their babies with a tank, and laughing while shooting aid seekers will make anyone, even Israelis, choose death over life eventually.

Trump & Newsom: United Against Renewables

In apparent anticipation of the 2028 presidential election, California Governor Gavin Newsom has been cultivating an image as the “anti-Trump.”

But on nuke power and renewable energy, Gavin and Donald are soul mates…to our universal danger and detriment.

Trump loudly hates wind and solar, but loves fossil fuels and atomic energy. 

Newsom paints himself green. He loudly favors banning new gas-fired cars in California after 2035.

But he’s killed the landmark plan he signed in 2018 to phase out California’s last reactors at Diablo Canyon. He’s also gutting the state’s once-booming renewable industry, even sending his attorneys to fight solar installers in court. 

Sen. Tom Cotton should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting genocide

US Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has urged the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to launch an investigation into the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is a leading Muslim-American civil liberties group, claiming the largest Muslim organization in the US has terror ties.

Look who is talking! Ever since he became a U.S. Senator, Cotton put the interests of Israel ahead of the good old USA.

* First, he called Biden last year a "coward" if he does not unleash "devastating military retaliation" both inside Iran and across the Middle East (on behalf of Israel, of course). I have no clue how bombing Iran benefits the American people or the people of Arkansas? 

* Would Sen. Cotton care to tell us what he gets out of lobbying on behalf of a foreign lobbying organization that is not even registered in compliance with US law? 

Will Zamir Rescue Israel and Gaza?

Israel’s savaging of Gaza has now inflicted over 61,000 dead. This is close to the generally accepted death toll from the US nuclear bombing of Nagasaki, Japan in Sept 1945.Nagasaki was hit with the second atomic bomb on August 9, 1945. Its hilly topography prevented even greater casualties. But no one really knows how many Japanese died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki from explosions, seas of fire, radiation or lack of food and medicines.According to the post-war US strategic bombing survey a third to a half of all buildings in Japan were destroyed by waves of US heavy bombers showering firebombs on Japanese cities. Germany’s cities fared even worse from US and British carpet bombing. As intense as the bombing of Japan and Germany was, the photos of the aftermath do not appear as cataclysmic as what we see today in Gaza. The obliteration of the Gaza enclave by US-supplied Israeli aircraft and US-made heavy bombs was even more destructive than what the US 8th Air Force did to German cities. Not an ounce of mercy was shown to the humans and wretched animals trapped in Gaza.

The Stench of Death and a Peace Agreement

BANGKOK, Thailand -- U.S.-backed Thailand and China-assisted Cambodia signed an extended 13-point peace agreement on August 7 silencing their five-day border war, but the stench from uncollected corpses and fear of their shadowy ghosts are haunting troops and residents along their disputed frontier.

"Both sides agree to a ceasefire involving all types of weapons, including attacks on civilians and civilian objects and military objectives of either side, in all cases and all areas," the document signed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, stated.

"There shall be no troop movements, including patrols, towards the other side's position.

"Both sides agree not to increase forces along the entire Cambodia-Thailand border," which curves 500 miles long and has been disputed for the past 100 years because of squabbling over vague and imprecise French colonial maps.

The new ceasefire agreement also "includes military activities to enter the other side's air space and territory, or positions."

The False Promise of Keto and Ancestral Eating in the Age of Chemical Intensive Industrial Agriculture

Proposed dietary guidelines promote increased animal fat consumption while ignoring a dangerous truth: Nearly 700 pharmaceutical compounds and pesticide residues contaminate America's meat supply, many of which concentrate in fat.

As the 2025 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans take shape, a serious disconnect threatens public health. Some advocates are calling for higher intake of animal fats and promoting so called ancestral or animal based keto diets, citing traditional wisdom and nutrient density. But these arguments overlook a central fact:

In reality, diets like Keto often rely on meat and dairy from industrial production systems, where contamination with drugs and chemicals is routine. The promise of healing through meat and fat collapses when those foods carry residues of antibiotics, steroid hormones, synthetic preservatives, arsenicals, cocciodiostats, and pesticides. Many of these toxins accumulate precisely in the fats and organs being celebrated as nutrient rich.

House Speaker Mike Johnson acts as Israel's lapdog

The speaker of the United States House of Representatives is commonly known as the speaker of the House or House speaker. He holds the third most powerful position the US government. Our current speaker of the House this week was leading a tour of newly elected Republican lawmakers to Israel. It is all a paid trip by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Rather than meeting with their constituents in their home districts during summer recess, Speaker Mike Johnson and his troops were in Israel lobbying and defending Israel's genocidal policies. Mr. Speaker told the world that the West Bank belongs to Jews "by right" during a settlement visit. He is following a misguided form of Christianity and does not understand the virtues of separation of church and State. People around the world don't like to see Israeli ownership because that claim comes from old BS fairy tales and not the Bible.
