War is the West’s way in the world; war on civilians ~ilana

NEW ESSAY is “On Conservative Kvetching About Contemporary Western Civilization’s Superiority.” It appeared on The Unz Review and on LewRockwell.com, anti-war, anti-state, pro-market.

You can find it on ilanamercer’s FPV Resistance on Substack, where we can also chat.
And, on IlanaMercer.com.

Excerpt:

….Once-upon a time, I’d have said, more serenely, that when an American politician preaches about “the values that make our country great,” to quote Mrs. Clinton, and about “our ally Israel sharing these values,” to be spread far and wide, chances are they mean not ordered liberty, but a libertine order, where the Bill of Rights is subordinate to the Security-cum-Surveillance State apparatus, and any common-law traditions remaining are treated as living, breathing, mutating philosophical malignancies that must be made to second and reinforce the murderous apparatus just mentioned.

Without qualm, I’ll now venture that the contemporary version of civilization known as “western” has been repudiated to a great degree by the Axis of Genocide. “You can’t pull too many bricks out of that wall before it caves in,” to borrow from Louis Auchincloss (one of the great writers America once boasted).

The Axis of Genocide’s modus vivendi is instantiated across the West in every single institution of state and civil society. The “perpetrator block” encompasses nearly all western governments and the most powerful economic actors. Its military and civilian squadrons have not only adopted Israel’s inverted reality and morality, but have made it their own.

The thing, the West, is in a state of putrefaction.

You’d think, then, that the conservative commentariat—many of whom rose through the military- or media-industrial-complex—would finally quell their yelling about “western civilization,” in the context of metastasizing, protracted western genocidal pursuits.

Not a bit. They continue to rabbit on about The (Christian) West vs. The Rest. They continue to figuratively remind us, with a sniff and a sneer, that The Rest once could not make iron or roll a wheel.

One notable exception to the warped rule, aside Jeffrey Sachs—a prince among intellectual and moral scullions—is Professor Stephan Walt, the intellectual in the famous pair that authored the seminal book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.

During an August interview, Walt firmly but affably told Tucker Carlson that “people sometimes forget” about the “collapse” of norms against the use of violence, courtesy of the Super Power and its supremacist sidekick, Israel. In his words: …”

The pedestrian, uncontested reality is that the many ceasefires reflect power differentials untempered by a shred of American and Israeli honor or decency …

When Trump is gone, there’ll be a new Barnum to oversee the US-Israeli ceasefire circus. ~ilana

NEW ESSAY IS “Flush ‘Em: Ceasefires À La Israel And America Are Layers Of Loo-Paper.” It has appeared on The Unz Review, the home of dissidents left and right, and on LewRockwell.com, anti-state, anti-war, pro-market.

Excerpt:

Allow me to vent spleen over the many ceasefire “agreements”—10-point (April 2026), 15-point (August 2026), and the MOU, Memorandum of Understanding in-between—whose details the “experts” continue to belabor and rehash.

Enough already!

Can we quit the cretinous, make-believe commentary over fakery? Consult a Ouija board if you are in doubt as to how these unilateral things progress. But quit making a mystery of what are manifestly cover operations.

I’ll unburden you if you find it hard to untangle and flush what are layers of loo-paper.

The MOU, the “Hormuz talks,” the 10-point plan, the 15-point plan, the Gaza ‘Peace’ Plan, are all pointless as anything other than cover operations.

Ceasefires à la Israel and America, the two symbiotic, congenital liar entities lording it over the universe, are just one more weapon wielded to destroy the Axis of Resistance, or any resistance to Superpower and Sidekick.

Who the dominatrix is and who is the submissive in the US-Israel relationship—that vexation, I venture, has been adjudicated by reality, as well.

Each one of these farcical ploys, the ceasefires, is meant invariably to end in bombs, with blame imputed to their victims. How do I know? In the same way you ought to know. Reality. Res ipsa loquitur. The thing itself speaks. Screams. Writhes in agony under the rubble.

Did not all of these preordained “negotiated” traps begin with fanfare and end, as described above, in “bombs, with blame imputed to the victims”?

Islamabad was a burlesque to begin with. To arrive at their destination, in April of 2026, the amiable Iranian negotiators had to circumnavigate Israeli assassins, only to confront the tricks and turns and greasy chicanery of the diplomats deputized by another criminal Svengali: Trump.

No sooner was the agreement signed than the US violated it. The Islamabad burlesque continues with an ostensible extension. By the caprice of the same one man, it ended almost as soon as I concluded typing the previous sentence.

The same thing transpires daily in Lebanon, where yesterday, August 17, the Israeli terrorists murdered 11 souls.

When Trump is gone, there’ll be a new Barnum to oversee the US-Israeli ceasefire circus.

More obscene even than this is the fate of Gaza. There, so-called ceasefires and prattle about them coincide with bombs.

Kushner’s August-16 papal visit to Cairo, to meet with Hamas negotiators, leaders and senior officials; who came to Cairo as an effort “to ‘preserve’ the Gaza cease-fire”—this had no bearing on the bombs. They kept falling.

For all we know, strikes and talks could have been timed to coincide. For the Jewish-Israeli terrorists, fugitives from justice, kept up their fiendish “operations” across Palestine, irrespective. On the 16th, Israelis killed a “14-year-old boy in Gaza.”

That’s about the score! …

Podcast: Beware The JD Vance Political Production

GAZA, Ilana Mercer, Iran, Israel, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Middle East, Military, Morality, Politics, Propaganda, Republicans, Technology, THE ELITES, The Establishment

“JD Vance, VP in the Trump regime, is a political production, not a real person, a production of the worst pedigree. Vance is a creation of a tech billionaire PAC, a ‘tech-aligned super political action committee’—people whose death-industries move humanity further away from community, from the locality; from honest industry, real knowledge and production and into a consumer, bubble-driven technocracy, anchored in illiteracy, gambling, speculation, buying and selling intangible derivative products….”
