You Don’t Have to Believe in Their Supremacy


Reject it all



[Note: if you didn’t watch me and Nick Estes talking about the Book of Joshua on Red Nation, that discussion and the books therein – the Joshua Generation, Laying Down the Sword, and Canaanites, Cowboys, and Indians – might be good to check out before or after reading this one.]

This replaces the Geneva Convention

Human progress is over. We’re in the Book of Joshua genocidal timeline

The history of the next thousand years is being decided in our time. Will the species survive? Should it? We certainly won’t solve climate change if we can’t stop a genocide. We won’t be reviving nuclear non-proliferation with nuclear-armed states whose leaders quote genocidal passages of the bible and name their doctrines (“Samson Doctrine”, “Gideon’s Chariots”) after the book’s most violent plot points.

The changes happening go way beyond shifts in the locations of borders. We are far past the question of which corrupt ruling party will animalistically feed at the trough.

These are changes in religion, ideology, the basis of belief and how we decide what’s true and false.

The old world was one of a hypocritical liberal facade.

That world is gone.

You thought that science and technology were governed by a progressive spirit of open inquiry? Actually they are governed by ruthless, racist Darwinism.

This is science now

You thought that education, law, journalism and medicine were governed by professional standards and ethics about truth? In fact they are governed by insider-group corruption in which lying is as easy as breathing.

You thought that warfare was governed by the United Nations charter and UN resolutions with the force of law, with its doctrines on the responsibility of occupiers, the right of resistance? In reality, warfare is governed by the Torah and the Book of Joshua’s entreaty to wipe out the memory of Amalek – men, women, draft animals, and especially children.

You thought that the treatment of prisoners was specified in the Geneva Convention? The truth is, it is specified in religious texts on the treatment of slaves and in Hollywood tropes about how funny sexual violence is when committed against “criminals”.

He’s hiding nothing: he’s proud and he’s protected

It is sadder and sadder to watch people of conscience raised in the old system continuing to appeal to international law, screaming into the void that US / Israel actions are illegal.

They’re not illegal in the book that matters, my friends, and that book is the Book of Joshua, a book of massacre and genocide.

The world is ruled by elites educated in the Bible + Race Science

What you believe is what you were taught at an early age. That’s why, for all the neoliberal restructuring, for all the austerity of constant budget cutting and degradation of the student experience, education will never be completely privatized. Elites will never abandon the chance to propagandize students from an early age, even if they wouldn’t dare send their own kids to those schools. What they want (and what they have) is a situation where they control what kids are taught in public school and they control what their own kids are taught in private school. Their kids are to learn superiority. Yours are to learn their place.

Israeli academics wrote a study, Scenes from School Life, (in Hebrew) in 2014 (reported in Ha’aretz) going into schools and writing what they saw. The title of the Ha’aretz article: “Israeli teenagers: racist and proud of it.” Given how fast one rises through the ranks in the Israeli military, the teenage subjects of that book are likely in the middle- and upper echelons of the genocidal Israeli establishment. They learned a doctrine of their own ethnic supremacy and they learned to hate others – leftists, Arabs, and especially Palestinians.

Note the date: 2014

In Beverly Hills, the schools are flying the Israeli flag. North American educational institutions have adopted the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. Kids whose parents take them to church are taught that God will bless them if they bless (the state of) Israel and will pull the plug if they don’t.

Outside of the West it’s much the same. Evangelical churches are everywhere in Latin America and Africa and their progenies march under the Israeli flag.

What’s nationalistic about a Brazilian politician flying the Israeli flag?

Muslim kids in Asia learn that there is an Ummah, a Muslim nation, of billions, but the educational network financed by Gulf monarchies teaches them that their true enemies are other Muslims.

The White Empire is a disciplined empire. It presents a united front to defend genocidal Israel. Western countries are willing to sacrifice honor, dignity, even handy underwater pipelines and cheap energy, for the greater genocidal good. Meanwhile those it rules like animals of burden are not united, but easily turned – until their turn comes to be slaughtered – against the enemies it selects.

The genociders’ only book is the bible, their only science is race science and their only language is total violence.

Reject it all: the lies of their old world and the depravity of their new one

The only possible starting point to defeat them is to reject every element of their world view and all of the objects they created to fool you.

Appeals to international law or courts, the UN, diplomatic channels, humanitarian rules, the human spirit or the transformative power of truth are, at this point, stupidity.

No matter how minimal, they will never grant your demands. No matter how sound, they will never be persuaded by your arguments. They rule. And they will never be overthrown by international law or nonviolence.

The fight for the future is not against a liberal ideology that doesn’t live up to its idealism.

It is a fight against an ideology – propagated in schools, church, the movies and TV – that combines the most genocidal books of the Bible with the most vicious genetic Darwinism. They believe they have every right to kill and enslave you. To bring about the future they want, they have to believe that.

You don’t.

Narcissism, Misogyny, Racism, and Fascism: Not Just a Trump thing

Note: This article below appears in the Lincoln County Leader, and I am waiting for the same rejoinder that the little county of Lincoln is running each Wednesday before my radio show, Finding Fringe, to appear on the Editorial page of a newspaper over 100 years old:

I had the pleasure recently of talking to many people on my trip from Waldport to Manzanita with a few camping nights at Bar View campground, near Rockaway Beach, where a music festival was held.

Interactions with women on this trip highlight the reality of misogyny and sexual assault unfortunately active in rural Oregon.

A lifetime of misogyny catches up with Trump | Donald Trump | The Guardian

One woman near Cloverdale is an amazing entrepreneur, and we talked about her Monkey Puzzle tree nursery, a spiny tree from Chile and parts of South America.

It’s endangered there, but Cindy is raising thousands from seeds dropped by the 50-year- old female which is next to the male tree.

This species can grow for more than a thousand years.

Anderson's Oregon Monkey Puzzle Tree Farm | Cloverdale OR

We talked after she gave me the tour of her Oregon-based business. She opened up about her previous life, as an auditor for human and health services. Years of seeing all the horrible lives of people living with developmental or mental disabilities and so many in foster care caused her vicarious trauma.

The conversation then came around to her own life in San Diego.

“I was molested when I was five years old. I am a survivor, but there are many I have seen in those files who were raped as children but ended up living lives in and out of prison and treatment.”

Her own 41-year-old daughter is in her second drug treatment program, an in-patient facility in Portland. Cindy hasn’t heard from her in a few months, but again, she admitted that her daughter was sexually abused at age 13 by a grandfather.

I know the stats since I worked for several programs in the tri-county Portland area involving homeless folk and foster children.

  • 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old.
  • 34% of people who sexually abuse a child are family members.
  • 3% of girls were age 10 or younger at the time of their first rape/victimization, and 30% of girls were between the ages of 11 and 17.
  • 96% of people who sexually abuse children are male, and 76.8% of people who sexually abuse children are adults.
  • 325,000 children are at risk of becoming victims of commercial child sexual exploitation each year.
  • The average age at which girls first become victims of prostitution is 12 to 14 years old, and the average age for boys is 11 to 13 years old.
  • More than 90% of juvenile sexual abuse victims know their perpetrator.

Moving onto the music festival in Rockaway, I talked with several people who told me about their own struggles with addict children; one in fact, a woman about Cindy’s age, 66, has a daughter in her late thirties also struggling with addiction.

Rockaway Beach festival review – a blast of indie retox and roll | Music | The Guardian

She’s raising two of her grandchildren. Her second husband of 23 years also has two children, one of whom is a woman who has major drug addiction issues. Rape is the common factor with both addicts.

This is the reality of America: young women and men are abusing drugs.

The consequences of that sexual abuse are immense:

  • Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy.
  • Abused teens are more likely to engage in sexual risk taking, putting them at greater risk for STDs.
  • About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse.
  • In at least one study, about 80% of 21 year old’s that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder.
  • The financial cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States is estimated at $585 billion.
  • Children who experience child abuse & neglect are about 9 times more likely to become involved in criminal activity.
  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) childhood trauma impact on mental health.

The Impact of Child Sexual Abuse on Addiction: An Analysis of Trauma Processing | Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services

And these citizens living along the coast, in these rural settings, are more anti-Trump than one might imagine. They have money, are financially stable, and have somewhat conservative values.

But hands down, four people I spoke to who all have experienced sexual abuse are not Donald Trump backers.

Calling Trump an unrepentant racist and narcissist seems to get people worked up as if this convicted felon is some god-chosen dude.

Trump battles strong anti-racism tide in race with Biden

He espouses misogyny, Islamophobia, and xenophobia. Remember almost 40 years in 1989 when Trump paid for a one-page advertisement in the New York Daily News calling on the state of New York to execute the Central Park Five? These were African American and Latino teens wrongfully accused of raping and beating a jogger.

For someone like me who is deeply read, educated and traveled, when I confront those who seek to present Trumpism as some aberration in American political history, I give them the elevator speech on how American society has always been a racist and narcissistic one.

Summer’s over and school hallways will be packed, but what in fact will be taught? Not these sexual assault stats.

Will African American sociologist and historian WEB Du Bois’ Black Reconstruction be discussed in high schools?

This book delves into the behavior of southern plantation owners and the corrosive effect of slavery on their psyche. It concludes the following:

“It tended to inflate the ego of most planters beyond all reason; they became arrogant, strutting, quarrelsome kinglets; they issued commands; they made laws; they shouted their orders; they expected deference and self-abasement; they were choleric and easily insulted … “

Much of what Du Bois described coincides with what modern psychology has identified as the attributes of the narcissistic personality disorder.

Power, and even outside the corridors of the rich and powerful, the sexual abuser is both a narcissist and misogynist, even abusing his own pre-teen granddaughters. Tough lessons in the land of the not so free.

Mass Media Under-count Indigenous Deaths in US wars



The eminent, truth-telling and humane Australian web medium Pearls & Irritations has published a responding Letter from me about total sanctions demanded against Apartheid Israel because of hundreds of thousands of Gaza Genocide deaths: Gideon Polya, “MSM under-count indigenous deaths in US wars,” 5 September 2025.

I have been researching and writing about Indigenous deaths in US Alliance wars for over 30 years since discovering the “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust in which 6-7 million Indians in British-ruled Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Assam were deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons with food-denying Australian complicity. Indeed the 1942-1945 Bengal Famine was the first WW2 atrocity to have been described as a “holocaust”. Re the WW2 Bengali Holocaust and the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, my dear late wife Zareena née Lateef was Bengali and Bihari, and I am an anti-racist Jewish Hungarian-Australian.

I have published my findings about Indigenous deaths in US Alliance wars in a thousand articles and 9 huge books, but for the last 20 years Zionist and other gate-keepers have censored me in Australia. The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth. The key messages from the WW2 Holocaust, the WW2 Bengali Holocaust, all other WW2 holocausts (the Polish, Sinti and Roma, Soviet, European, and Chinese Holocausts), and indeed from all genocide and holocaust atrocities, are “zero tolerance for lying”, “zero tolerance for racism”, “bear witness” and “never again to anyone”. We must all bear witness and endlessly inform everyone we can – racist and lying MSM certainly won’t.

My Letter:

MSM under-count indigenous deaths in US wars

This is an extremely important article by John Menadue demanding total trade sanctions against Israel because of hundreds of thousands of Gaza deaths. Dr Zeina Jamaluddine and colleagues estimated that 64,260 Gazans died violently by day 269 of the Gaza massacre (30 June 2024) (The Lancet) and hence 136,000 Gazans died violently by day 569 (25 April 2025) with a “conservatively estimated” four times that number (544,000) dying from imposed deprivation for a shocking total of 680,000 deaths from violence and deprivation by 25 April 2025.

That is 28% of the pre-war Gaza population of 2.4 million, and 11 times the present mainstream media under-counted estimate of 62,000 deaths. Western mainstream media under-count indigenous deaths in US wars. Thus, in December 2011, the Australian ABC reported on Iraqi deaths: “The [US] withdrawal ends a war that left tens of thousands of Iraqis and nearly 4500 American soldiers dead.”

I estimated 2.7 million Iraqi deaths and seven million Afghan deaths from violence and war-imposed deprivation (Gideon Polya, US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide, 398 pages, 2020). The Brown University Costs of War Project: “At least 4.5 million people have died in the post-9/11 [US] war zones.” Iraq has five million orphans – go figure.

Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne.

Stolen Democracy: Why Imran Khan Was 

Jailed



The imprisonment of Imran Khan is now a subject occupying the ground and shifting the mood of Pakistan in reaction. With his party symbol taken away and being surrounded by hundreds of other lawsuits, Khan continues to dominate conversations at the market stalls, tea stalls, and social media feeds. For many, he is an icon of resistance against a system long branded as one that silences popular leaders—a picture that awakens echoes of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s fate. His supporters see him as a victim of political engineering and these very political constraints. An outright ban on visits to his family, detention of his allies, and exile of sympathetic journalists have only strengthened the very allegiance among his supporters. Far beneath the floodseconomic hardships, and day-to-day life lingering in their heads is the name of Imran Khan, both as a grievance against the ruling elite and a rallying cry for hope. Hence, his incarceration metamorphosed into a reflection of Pakistan’s truncated democracy, where public sympathy came into conflict with establishment revenge.

Stolen Verdict

The general elections exposed deep cracks in the democracy of Pakistan on February 8, 2024. Independent candidates joined Imran Khan’s PTI who won the most seats, leaving PML-N and PPP behind. However, not a single party managed to carry the clear majority, further escalating political uncertainty. Allegations regarding the vote rigging and other irregularities occupied the whole post-election scenario. PTI leaders accused the Election Commission of manipulating the result by delaying the announcement while reports of interference in vote counting identified the denial of PTI’s election symbol and thus painted in a picture of pre-election suppression.

This controversy deepened when a divisional commissioner came up and confessed to fraud under duress from superiors before walking it back. These forces have manipulated the results of the elections but the findings have largely shown that the public is up against rejection of Pakistan’s dynastic parties, coupled with the public’s resentment of military interference in politics.

Trials of Power

The demise of Imran Khan is linked to a series of prominent cases. The leaked “cipher” which was published by The Intercept, suggested that there was pressure from the U.S. for his ouster over his Russia-Ukraine policy, which subsequently landed him a 10-year sentence under the Official Secrets Act. Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were also sentenced to seven years in the controversial Iddat case, which questioned the validity of their 2018 marriage, before they were acquitted on appeal in July 2024. He was also given a 14-year sentence on the Toshakhana wristwatch case involving gifts from foreign states. In a related inquiry, £190 million was allegedly diverted from property tycoon Malik Riaz to the Al-Qadir Trust linked to Khan and his wife, resulting in corruption charges. Such politically engineered cases, in the eyes of his supporters, have further exacerbated public grievances and reaffirmed his image as a persecuted leader.

Pakistan’s Hybrid Power Structure

Pakistan manifests a hybrid power system of political order where a military establishment converges with dynastic families, capitalist elites, and technocrats, who would all be working together to keep control. The ex-army officers occupy such lofty positions in civilian offices and institutions like NADRAPTA, and WAPDA. This certainly indicates that there is a lot of military penetration in civilian governance and policy-making.

Major parties being politically dominated by families like the Sharifs and Bhuttos who together exert family connections to establish the political monopoly and hinder political competition in an ongoing rivalry. Meanwhile, bureaucrats and business elites align with military and political families, thus fortifying a resistant-to-change ecosystem. Such commodification of power produces civilian-military brackets, institutionalises elite capture, and perpetuates the fragile democratic order in Pakistan.

Exodus of Talent and Capital

Emigration from Pakistan continues at a very brisk rate till now after regime change involving Imran Khan. For instance, in 2023, 862,625 people migrated, a slight improvement over the figure of 832,339 in 2022; hence, a gradual outflow instead of a sudden spike (PIDE BEOE). The net migration figure is clearly negative, at -1.6 million for 2023 and -1.3 million for 2022; thus, it is more people going out than coming in Macrotrends.

While remittances have continued to show resilience, even during the pandemic period, future growth remains uncertain because of a possible slowdown in migration or diversion away from conventional labour destinations GIDS Report. This consistent outflow of professionals, labour, and capital represents one of the most grievous long-term losses for Pakistan and represents a debilitating drain on both talent and economic potential.

Deep State: Old Patterns, New Confrontations

Imran Khan’s four-year tenure indeed signified a drastic shift away from decades-old deep state patterns in Pakistan, especially when it came to an absolute rejection of U.S. drone strikes. For two reasons: One, in Khan’s government, there was no use of a drone on Pakistani soil, the first time since 2004. Unprecedented in its overt rejection of sovereignty, this act was Khan’s attempt to often evidently show that he rejected any imposition on sovereignty. For years, Khan had been mobilising protests against drones, condemning civilian deaths and secret pacts by past governments.

Khan condemned Pakistan’s military as having aided U.S. operations in Afghanistan, calling it a “slave war” that cost Pakistan 70,000 lives and billions of dollars in damages, openly shunning military establishment strategy to pursue Washington’s objectives.

In the past, however, accusations on Pakistan’s deep state have been persistent, accusing it of using non-state actors as instruments of proxy warfare in Afghanistan and Kashmir IDSA. It also facilitated the proliferation of Saudi-funded madrassas, from the 1970s onward, embedding puritanical ideologies which have altered Pakistan’s educational system and sectarian landscape.

Another dark shadow hung over the drug trade. The heroin trafficking routes during the Afghan jihad in the 1980s were reportedly protected by intelligence networks to finance their covert wars, as claimed by GISF. Reportedly, these networks then became modern-day militancy financed by narcotics connected to groups like the Taliban and the Haqqani’s Global Initiative.

Perhaps this level of opacity still exists today. During $364 million worth of defence contracts between the U.S. firms and Pakistan, it was suggested that arms be redirected to Ukraine alone. At the same time, claims by President Zelensky in 2025 that mercenaries from Pakistan had fought in favour of Russia were firmly rejected by Islamabad as false and politically motivated.

For Khan supporters, this entire proxy warfare, ideological manipulation, illicit trades, and foreign appeasement went soberly against Khan’s policy that placed sovereignty first. His open defiance of deep state’s traditional alliances, coupled with his own zero-drone-strike record, is understood as an immediate trigger for his downfall, that is, being punished in prison for going against deep-rooted interests.

Conclusion

The jailing of Imran Khan is all about much more than one man; it is the ultimate proof that the politics of Pakistan are hostages to a hybrid deep statemilitary overlords, dynastic families, capitalist cronies, and generals turned bureaucrats. For this reason, Khan was punished for refusing to bow down to the system: ending military drone strikes, opposing proxy wars, and exposing elite corruption. An insatiable addiction to foreign dictates, drug money, and Saudi influence has sustained a system whose output is a broken democracy, mass exodus of youth and captivity of the nation between sovereignty and servitude. Until this nexus is broken, every elected leader will remain disposable, and every citizen will remain expendable.
