□ [“MSNBC Benches Muslim Hosts Following Last Weeks Slaughter of Jews in Israel"]

Interesting.  Unfortunately we only have leftist media to show us what's going on but even that can give us some clues.  They don't care about the audience, that's why they don't bother to get a bigger one.  They're just trying to promote leftism, which is why they hire based on skin color and favor Muslims.  But the realizations of the last week have been too much for some of these people to ignore, even the ones in charge.

They really do want to eradicate the Jews.  They really do see everyone who's not with them as a target.  They really are willing to sacrifice anything and anyone for the cause.  There hasn't been many suicide bombers in the last several years, I had hoped that they'd finally learned that wasn't a good idea, but the mentality itself doesn't go away.  Probably because they've been promoted by leftist media so much.  And now you're stuck with them.

It might just be for legal reasons, the network wants to protect itself from giving lots of money and publicity to terrorists.  It might also just be a bit of common sense, not wanting to get too deeply in with one side of what is obviously World War III.  Nobody's going to protect MSNBC from this, just as rich Muslims worldwide aren't protecting Hamas, and a lot of non-rich Muslims aren't bothering either.  That's not a situation any sane person wants to be in.

□ [“Massive Pro-Hamas Rally in London:  'From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free'"]

This would explain why yesterday was fairly quiet.  The point is to get the infidel to do all the work and take all the risks.  They're more than willing to obey, so that's who will be handling the front-lines here.  That way they'll take the casualties when the violence really gets started in western cities.  I assume some of the leftist leaders know what's going on but face it, most of this crowd is deluded enough to think they know best.

Put it this way, how many pretend genders are at these protests against Israel?  How many pro-abortionists are out protesting against Israel?  They've never protested Palestinian Public Health Law Article 8, that shows how devoted they are to their cause.  No demands for Muslim "population reduction," only the infidel.  Then there's global warming...

More than any reason to trust or distrust Israel, this is the real reason to see which side to take.  There's the side that openly wants to wipe out all the Jews, or the side that wants "population reduction" and supports people whose population just keeps getting growing.  At least Muslims know how to handle the infidel, and it looks like this is their plan for victory.  Just look at how easy it is to get so many "diverse" people in one place to chant slogans uniformly.

Iran Threatens Intervention if Israel Invades Gaza; Warns of “Huge Earthquake” Attack by Hezbollah
October 14, 2023

□ [“Israel Bombs Syria in Response to Two Rockets Launched From Syria"]

Who fired the rockets?  The US?  Russia?  Maybe it was the Syrians but that seems unlikely without US or Russian support.  Well, it's probably Hezbollah.  I forget who's specifically supporting them, can't tell the players without a scorecard.  Turkey's getting ready to get involved too, and of course they'll oppose Israel.  Iran's already involved but they're promising a big invasion if this keeps going.

Once upon a time, we had large numbers of US troops in the region.  They were actually being publicized, not like we're doing in Syria and our other invasions.  There are arguments to be made against being the 'world policeman' but I've always supported them for reasons like this.  I think we should have been tougher, 'we're the boss, you'll stay in line or we'll shoot you,' but this is why.

'Cause otherwise it looks like most of Israel's neighbors are ready to invade.  Probably all of them, but I haven't seen that from the news reports.  Jordan and Egypt have given peace a chance and I haven't heard anything about Iraq in a few years.  Has Iran taken over or at least grabbed some territory?  The rulers of Saudi Arabia probably want peace because they want to keep Mecca, but the rest of them don't.  This is going to get worse before it gets better.

□ [“Ukrainian Finance Minister Marchenko – Kiev Needs 42 Billion to Keep Budget Afloat Until 2024"]

Why oh why hasn't anybody given Ukraine enough money to maintain a budget?  What do you expect them to do, raise taxes on their digital bankers?  That's not going to happen.  But they couldn't even wait for a week after the Israel thing got started to demand more money?  What have they been doing with all Biden has given them so far?  Or is that too obvious a question?

It does show the level of propaganda in play.  Liberals have been desperate for war with Russia for two years - or since 2016 - but that's immediately irrelevant when Israel becomes an available target.  Do they think we'll be able to do both at the same time?  With a military that's given away all its weapons, can't remotely get new servicemen and has to spend more time pretending there are more than two genders than preparing for combat?

Near as I can tell, Russia's offensive is still going on.  Slowly, for any number of possible reasons.  Incompetence or caution, maybe, but that's why I wonder what the overall plans are, since this is timed with the Israel attack.  There's limits to how well you can plan a war and the fact that Ukraine is whining about its budget - why not cut the amount on the lawmakers' paychecks? - shows that something about this isn't real either.

Wonder how many Ukrainians are supporting Hamas?  They both come from a line of German supporters in the last world war, so they'll probably find a reason to support each other in the new one.

France on High Alert After Louvre Museum and Versailles Palace Evacuated Amidst Bomb Threats
October 14, 2023

Showing how long I've been without a television, there's a lot of attention going towards a reboot of a long-running spinoff of a show that started just after I left high school, Frasier.  I did watch the first several seasons and enjoyed them.  I know I saw the final episode - I still had a tv then - but for whatever reason, it has dropped from my attention, as has Cheers.  So there's no chance I'll watch the new series either, but something about it seems interesting.

Partially it's that he's moved back to Boston for whatever reason and is hanging out with his son Frederick.  I did recently watch the episode of Cheers Frederick was born and another episode of Frasier where he appears, so I'm just amused that much of his life has been spent on television.  I also know that Lilith gave birth in a taxi and another episode of Frasier had him and Niles helping a woman give birth in a taxi, Cab 804, which is literally the name of an episode of Taxi, a show where the Cheers creators got their start.

As long as Hollywood is trying to do a multiverse anyway, why not bring these shows together?  The final episode of this series should be set at Cheers as it's closing down for good.  Norm and Cliff have to be there, otherwise just get as many cast members as possible.  Niles and Daphne have stopped by coincidentally, so they can attend.  Lilith lives in Boston so she can can stop by.  "Afternoon everybody."  "LILITH!!!"

As the bar closes down, Norm calls out 'let's go, Vera,' and is joined by a woman who's been sitting in the background the whole time, at a table with another woman.  Vera says "goodbye, Maris."  Niles may not be happy about that, the series ends and Frasier drops dead.  For an epilogue, we see Lilith and Frederick finding out what was left in Frasier's will, which all of us have already seen earlier.  "That damned bar!"
