Breaking through the barrier of fear

 
Netanyahu said that the State of Israel is stronger than ever, and this is not only reflected in the regional arena but also in the national consciousness: "We changed the rules of the game in our region from the ground up, but above all, we changed ourselves." He claimed that Israel "managed to break through the barrier of fear with initiative and aggression."

Change the voters, change the country.

TAHAL had a project in the Republica Dominicana, and I rented a room in Trujillo's kept woman's home. He gave her a big house where she lived surrounded by several criadas. It was a beautiful house, built of coral-cement. The State's sources of income were the lottery and alcoholic beverages. People were deeply Catholic and friendly to Israelis. I fed on fried plantains and fish in the street. 

On my last tour in New York, we lived in City Island. In the long trips on the train to Manhattan, I always talked to strangers, mostly in Spanish. Caribbean people were relaxed and friendly, but Afro-Americans were tense and "acomplejados" (neurotic). The trains were old, noisy, and jumpy. Third world class.  

Hundreds of Hizballah terrorists trapped in Ali al-Taher underground base

ZAHAL has trapped hundreds of terrorists in a large underground tunnel complex housing a command center and strategic weapons depots, known as the Imad‑4 facility. Iran is desperately pressing Trump to stop ZAHAL and to let them escape. They announced that the Hormuz Strait is closed, and they don't care if the world economy goes to hell. If it does, blame the Jews. 

Update 23-6-26: Iran's pressure on the USA forced Israel to freeze the campaign. The whole world unites to keep us down, living in danger and fear. It is the Middle Ages, once again.

It is official: We are expecting Iranian rockets in the next hour. That was half an hour ago.

On Musk's juggernaut

Paul Krugman, a sagacious observer, came out against Elon Musk's "juggernaut". He has arguments. 

 "The immense human Ponzi scheme that is Elon Musk will eventually collapse. But traditional Ponzi schemes only exploit investors who choose to participate. This time much of the money propping up Musk’s scam will come from ordinary Americans who have in effect been forced to buy in. Approximately 52% of mutual fund assets are now invested in index or index-based funds, and over 50% of American households are invested in mutual funds. Thanks to the collusion between Musk and Wall Street, enabled by the perception that the Trump administration has Musk’s back, many if not most of these small investors will be dragged, willy-nilly, into fueling the Musk juggernaut."

BTW,   Juggernaut is the rendering in English of Jagannath, a deity in the Hindu tradition. The first European description of this festival is found in a thirteenth-century account by the Franciscan friar Odoric of Pordenone, who describes Hindus offering themselves in a religious sacrifice, jumping under the wheels of these huge chariots, and being crushed to death. Pic: A Jaganath cart in the Ulsoor temple complex in Bangalore, India, around 1870.
