How much credibility do the White House thugs have when they call the people of Iran " scum " ? [ BREAKING: Trump declares Iran ceasefire is 'OVER ]

See how successfully the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime of Donald Trump in Washington , DC can rally this still mostly CHRISTIAN nation , not Christian Nationalist , not Christian Zionist, for " Jew War III " in the Middle East culminating in a NATO " rescue " mission for the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? Wisdom from the Tumultuous Sixties : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? " . And the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ( led by odd couple ZIONIST Jews Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders ) and its mainstream news media will not arouse war fever in the American people with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. How much credibility do the White House thugs have when they call the people of Iran " scum " ? How effective as propaganda are these daily Orwellian TWO MINUTES HATE speeches emanating from the Whit House ? Can THEY communicate THEIR hate to a still mostly CHRISTIAN USA ? Even to the US Military ?

[ "Neil deGrasse Tyson Goes OFF: A Full Hour Challenging Religion with Science " ] How did " official atheism " work out in Stalin era Russia ?

Note the cross over of my post below. Does the New Atheism New Hate group need the protection of the ZIONIST Jew censorship of American public opinion ? All these oh- so brainy scientist idols of the New Atheism New Hate group . Do they ever invest their BRAIN time in critical thinking about even more irrational capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ? Do they think " official atheism " in " OUR democracy " would work out oh -so well in promoting " The Sane Society " ? How did " official atheism " work out in Stalin era Russia ?

"NO MORE WAITING": Arab Nations Push UN For 'Consequences' Against Israel | Watch [ What if so called " Christian Nationalism " turns against JEWISH Nationalism better known as Israeli Zionism ? ]

The world proclaimed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has made Zionist APARTHEID Israel the most hated country on the planet . How does that assure " NEVER AGAIN ! " ? Indeed, it guarantees " AGAIN AND AGAIN ! " . The worldwide exponential growth of contempt for " ZIONIST JEW " identity surpasses the wildest dreams of the young Hitler writing " Mein Kampf " in a German prison.. The 1930s Depression Era over- the- top hostility to " THE JEW " was mostly confined to the dark shadow regions under Nazi Party influence . To be sure , the Zionism idolatry of modern APARTHEID Israel has corrupted the once sensitive ,even decidedly Left-wing, Jewish social conscience . And in the United States the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller has once again declared SOCIALISM anathema and its mainstream news media daily censors real American public opinion . What if so called " Christian Nationalism " turns against JEWISH Nationalism better known as Israeli Zionism ?

[DISTURBING] "What Kind Of People Are Your Soldiers?" UN's Explosive Attack On Israel's Military ]

It seems that the CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD opposes " Jew War III " in the Middle East . And here in the United States there is little support for the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington , DC of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and special guest star Benjamin Netanyahu. And little applause for the daily Orwellian TWO MINUTES HATE speeches emanating from White House thugs against the Palestinians in Gaza , against the people of Iran and the Islamic culture of Iran . Most CHRISTIAN Americans are not Christian Nationalists or Christian Zionists foaming at the mouth for APOCALYPSE NOW and " Jew War III " in the Middle East. Wisdom from the Tumultuous Sixties : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? " .

[“Religion Will Destroy Us” - The Horrifying Dennett 2010 Speech That Became True ] What IS really destroying us ? Capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism !

Well into the 21st century RELIGION is not destroying us. What is destroying us is capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism . The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party pretends that " Christian Nationalism " is the villain. Does " Christian Nationalism " describe the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington DC of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and special guest star Benjamin Netanyahu ? Packed with ZIONIST Jews like Chuck Schumer and phony socialist Bernie Sanders , the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party wants to get the heat of negative public opinion off Israeli Zionism . No surprise that they have an ally in the New Atheism Cult New Hate group whose chief idol is the late Christopher Hitchens whose cult book is titled : " God Is Not Great - how religion poisons everything " . And ironically most surviving Marxist " vanguard party " organizations still dream of an " officially atheist " social order- the biggest mistake of the collapsed Soviet Union . So what is destroying us ?

[Neil deGrasse Tyson and Richard Dawkins Discuss Science, Religion & Evolution ] Whatever happened to MARXIST-HUMANIST oriented atheism ?

The VOICE of corrupt SCIENCE ! It now openly campaigns against " irrational " religion while blatantly SILENT about the irrational social evil of capitalism , American imperialism and Israeli Zionism . Joining forces with the New Atheism Cult New Hate group - that will make this a saner, more just world ? Whatever happened to MARXIST-HUMANIST oriented atheism ?

[ "The American Hitler and the morality of the ruling class ", by David North ] Would Hitler have forged an " unprincipled " ( from the perspective of Nazi ideology ) alliance with Israel Zionism ?

Could an orthodox Marxist today in OUR TIMES associate just Hitler with the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington ,DC of Donald Trump , Stephen Miller , and special guest star , the world proclaimed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu ? Commendable as they are , the World Socialist Website articles on " fascist " Trump seem to be leaving out something very significant here: a true irony of history - the political unification of Neo-Nazism and Israeli Zionism in the United States . If some SEP member can criticize my point of view , I am all ears . As a longtime independent democratic socialist and pre -Vatican II type Catholic ( banned in Communist China and on David North's World Socialist Web Site ) I see American imperialism and Israeli Zionism as inseparable in our times. The capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM and their mainstream news media is not dominated by militant , mostly secular ZIONIST Jews ? And not a few political organizations on the Left ? Can SEP Cult leader David North or one his underlings please explain to me why my blog views are BANNED ON THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEBSITE ( message in lurid red banner ) ? Ironically my blog is also banned in COMMUNIST China . I have 5000 maximum friends on my Facebook page and my blog is approaching Two MILLION , 500,000 views. I do forward World Socialist Web Site articles to my blog which - as longtime independent democratic socialist - I find truthful and true to the ideals of socialism . To be sure , my posts are often blocked by the ZIONIST Jew censorship of American public opinion . Has not David North's World Socialist Web Site experienced this ZIONIST Jew censorship ? Or is the very idea a THOUGHT CRIME in the political cult of millionaire " Trotskyist " Jew owner of a successful printing company ?

[ "Why Organized Religion makes Absolutely NO Sense " ] Making less sense : capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism !

Do any of these celebrity New Atheist New Hate group idolized, under-employed scientists- like Richard Dawkins- note that capitalism, American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism today make even less sense than ancient religious beliefs ? As for the " Poetry of Science " , what is " poetic " about SCIENCE and scientists corrupted by subservience to some nation-state's military industrial complex , something " poetic " about a LACKEY scientist or professor ? What is poetic about Israeli genocide in Gaza , Palestine and the beginning of " Jew War III " in the Middle East culminating in a NATO " rescue " mission for the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky in Greater Israel Ukraine ? Do SCIENCE and scientists take a stand against social evil that has nothing to do with religious beliefs ?

No , he is the WASP ( so called " Christian Nationalist " ) front man for a cabal of sinister ZIONIST Jews in Washington , DC ; in New York City ; in Greater Israel Middle East ; in Greater Israel Ukraine . Here is why " Jew War III " will never get off the ground or get BOOTS ON THE GROUND : Most CHRISTIAN Americans are not Christian Nationalists or Christian Zionists foaming at the mouth for APOCALYPSE NOW and " Jew War III " in the Middle East soon extending to the NATO " rescue " of warmonger embezzler V.

[ "Masked white nationalists flood DC for the 4th ": What one man saw ] What if so called " Christian Nationalism " turns against Israeli Zionism ?

What is very curious about present day " White Nationalism " is its political unification with Israeli Zionism in Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and special guest star , the world proclaimed war criminal , Benjamin Netanyahu , prime minister ( soon to be Fuhrer ! ) of APARTHEID Israel. So called " Christian Nationalism " from the beginning was sponsored( $$$ ) by JEWISH Nationalism and became besotted with the " Promised Land " of Zionist APARTHEID Israel . But what if evolved " Christian Nationalism " in the United States shockingly turns against Israeli Zionism and CLAIMS THE HOLY LAND FOR ITSELF ?

[“Your God LOVES Slavery” - Alex O’Connor ENDS Apologist on Christian Morals ]

The voices of the New Atheism Cult New Hate group gang up on religion in general . They speak in horror of slavery as if they were flaming radicals like early 20 century followers of American socialist leader Eugene V. Debs. I doubt if I am only democratic socialist that years ago sniffed out their right wing political agenda . They never apply their deified LOGIC and REASON to the social evil of capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism . In the 21st century they are closer ideologically to the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Chuck Schumer and phony socialist Bernie Sanders . Not a few of them are closer to the militant atheist , belligerent ZIONIST Jew , right wing philosopher Ayn Rand, ogress author of " The Virtue of Selfishness " . Have you ever heard any of these dime store village atheist cranks ever denounce capitalist WAGE SLAVERY ? And there is nothing " poetic " about SCIENCE and scientists corrupted by capitalism and subservient to some nation-state's military industrial complex, subservient to American imperialism and Israeli Zionism . I would not be surprised if " New Atheism " turns out to be a division of Israeli " Intelligence " . Have a seance with their long dead arch idol Christopher Hitchens , author of their cult book " God Is Not Great -how religion poisons everything ". And invite the village atheist .

Obituary of John C. Magnone , my 8th grade science teacher at St. Michael's Catholic School in Providence , Rhode Island ( circa 1960-1961 )

Obituary John C. Magnone 93, of Cranston, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at RI Hospital, Providence. He was the beloved husband of Patricia (A’Hearn) Magnone for 63 years. Born in Cranston, he was the son of the late Vincenzo and Madeline (Lipartiti) Magnone. He was a US Air Force veteran and US Army Reserve retiree, serving through the Korean, Vietnam, and Operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm wars. John started his career in education at parochial and public schools throughout RI and ended his career as a counselor in the Cranston School System. Upon retiring John and Pat moved to El Paso, TX for many years. He was an avid Red Sox fan watching them in Spring Training all the way through to the very last game of the year. Enjoyed playing golf, reading, and learning as much and as often as possible. Besides his wife Pat, he is survived by his loving children, David Magnone of Dalton, NH, Michelle Zoglio and her husband Joseph III of Cranston, and Michael Magnone of Norton, MA. He was the brother of Robert Magnone of Cranston and Norma D’Antuono and her husband the late Ronald of Gloucester. John is also survived by his “adopted daughter” Barbara McKnight, his close extended family, nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews, and his close friends. His funeral will be held on Thursday, Jan. 25th, at 10:00 a.m. from the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & Crematory, 1278, Park Avenue, Cranston, followed by his Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. in St. Mary’s Church, Cranston. Burial with military honors will be held in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston. VISITING HOURS: Thursday morning from 9:00-10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Tunnel to Towers Foundation, 2361 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10306, https://t2t.org/donate/ . Writes a former pupil of Mr. Magnone " [ :The recent death of a classmate of mine from St. Michael's School in Providence, triggered memories of 'grammar' school, especially the last year...Grade 9, September 1960-June 1961. And now seeing the obituary of John Magnone, adds to those memories. September 1960 was the start of a special school year. Mr. Magnone and Mr. Thibodeau were the two newest members of the faculty...no big deal in most schools, but at St . Michael's it was BIG...They weren't NUNS! They gave us a glimpse into what was in our future, out there in the non parochial world. LOL Mr. Magnone was the Science guy, and is remembered for his kindness, and high expectations from his students. And as I recall, he overlooked the slip of the tongues when we students would respond with "Yes, Sister", instead of 'Yes Sir"!Just as teachers wonder what happened to their students, it's interesting for a former student to see what happened to a teacher. John. I mean Mr. Magnone, led a full life. His passing is a loss for his family and friends. Please accept my sympathies. I will keep him in my prayers."] Rosemary (Conley) Danforth Jan 23, 2024 ] Thank you for your submission! Your entry is being reviewed by a moderator before it's added to the guestbook.

Remembering the fate of the crew of the US submarine " Thresher " ( April , 10, 1963 ) [ GOOGLE AI search result )

You said: " what was the fate of the us submarine " thresher " ? " were bodies ever recovered ?]The USS Thresher (SSN-593) imploded and sank during deep-diving tests on April 10, 1963, roughly 220 miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. No bodies were ever recovered from the tragedy. All 129 men onboard—including 112 Navy crew members and 17 civilian technicians—perished instantly when the pressure hull collapsed.The Fate of the USS ThresherMechanical Failure: A silver-brazed joint in a saltwater piping system likely ruptured in the engine room, causing massive flooding.Reactor Shutdown: The high-pressure saltwater spray short-circuited critical electrical panels, triggering an automatic shutdown of the nuclear reactor.Loss of Propulsion: Without reactor power, the submarine lost the propulsion required to push itself back to the surface.Frozen Ballast Valves: The crew attempted an emergency blow of the main ballast tanks to gain buoyancy. However, moisture in the high-pressure air system froze, creating ice that blocked the valves.Catastrophic Implosion: Powerless and heavy with water, the vessel sank past its maximum test depth. At approximately 1,300 to 1,500 feet, the immense ocean pressure violently crushed the hull.Why No Bodies Were RecoveredExtreme Depth: The fragmented remains of the Thresher settled onto the Atlantic seafloor at a depth of roughly 8,400 feet (over 2,500 meters).Violence of the Implosion: The sheer force of the hull collapse at that depth meant death was instantaneous, destroying the submarine's structural integrity and scattering the wreckage into five main sections across a 30-acre debris field.Designated War Grave: No recovery or salvage operations were ever attempted for the crew. In accordance with U.S. Navy tradition, the site remains completely undisturbed and is officially classified as a permanent war grave, with the crew listed as being on "Eternal Patrol."The Legacy of the Disaster
