lots of takeaways from the first epic intvu but what really blew me away was when she talked about how color is being manipulated for mind control, how the grey/beige/taupe used in electronics are in every commercial every tv show now rather than bright colors which mimic nature.
and that those flat colors correspond with lack of empathy, movies getting blacker and blacker, habituating future generations to blandness.
and also that it takes more energy to look at those colors than it does to look at color schemes which mirror the natural world
Eleni sent this interview with Michael Hudson about the conduct of the war against Palestinians, which is patterned as the war against the Vietnamese people was patterned during that war, based upon the systems analysis paradigm of Physicist, Herman Kahn, who was the inspiration for "Dr. Strangelove" in that movie, and explored the theory of "winnable" nuclear war, as well as the "Strategic Hamlets" initiative in Vietnam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn
Kahn was a founding member of the Hudson Institute, and also worked as a military analyst and strategist at the similar Rand Corporation. Michael Hudson was brought into the Hudson institute after the publication of his expose book, Super Imperialism in 1972. This was adopted as an operations manual for US global currency policy, as it portrayed the $US as being supported more by the necessity of buying oil and other trade items in $US, than by the gold backing, which had just been "suspended", as the US ran out of gold.
Hudson, therefore attended many high level strategic meetings with Kahn over a period of several years. He describes Kahn's analysis of the interventions necessary to destroy the system which supports people in a society. This included removing people from communities and putting them into tightly controlled compounds, "Strategic hamlets", which Israel has done with Gaza, and also the isolation of West Bank Palestinian communities from each other.
"Killing all of the journalists" was a lesson learned by the US during the Vietnam War, when diffusion of actual knowledge of the horrors of war ruined societal support for the war. ("Hey, hey, LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?") This is being carried out in Gaza and the Palestinian West Bank villages. Destruction of hospitals and of food supplies is critical. The message to humanitarian organizations to "go back home" was very effectively conveyed by the killing of 7 aid workers by 3 waves of drone attacks, until they were all dead and burned. Ships turned around. The mission closed down. Aid Workers, Hospitals and Doctors are at the "top of the target list" with Journalists.
The US promptly stopped funding for UNRWA, based on a few tortured confessions from UNRWA workers in Israeli prisons, and has blocked it until 2025, despite that background being revealed.
All of this is to make it impossible to live in Gaza, and to enforce death by starvation, which is less dramatic than bombing, upon all the Palestinians who will not leave.
Israel is the US/Western "aircraft carrier:" in the oil-producing Mideast, which LBJ (and others) have said "would have to be invented if it did not exist".
Hudson explores the threat to global oil supply and prices, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, and how the US/Israel/West might be able to prevent that, such as by developing a pretext for massive attacks upon Iran, perhaps nuclear. Currently, Iran is being careful to avoid providing such a pretext for nuclear attack, after the provocation of the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus Syria last week.
The upshot is that this is the same coordinated policy as in Vietnam, and has been continuous in Israel/Palestine since the meetings Hudson attended during the Nixon administration in the early 1970s. The window-dressing for the American and western public is propaganda, and it is not effectively overriding the actual images people see, but it is delaying any real action to stop the genocide, while the starvation, bombing and destruction of all support-systems grinds forward.
Hudson points out that the only currently anti-war candidate running for POTUS is the Green Party Candidate, Jill Stein MD..
He discusses the plans to convert Gaza to an Israeli luxury development, with piers for yachts, installed by Americans. These purport to carry in food, but that is not happening.
Hudson reports Israeli deals with India for construction after the expulsion of Palestinians. He reports that the lack of money in supporting Palestinians helps drive the genocide.
The imperial project, as he lays it out, is the successful financialization of Genocide.

Rotting produce means they aren’t full of GMO which is a good sign. Notice how corn on the cob always looks pristine? It’s loaded with GMO.
