The eloquent quote from the New York Times in the quoted skeet below aligns closely with my piece from last year on the whole question of the #motives of #massshooters: often the search for a "motive" will lead us to something most of us won't comprehend. doncurren.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-...

The same applies to #lonegunmen #assassins. In fact, if someone is driven to assassinate someone by their belief systems, it seems highly probable that their thinking is so seriously disordered their #motives won’t seem rational to the rest of us.

The IOF did the targeted hit on the remaining prominent journalists in Gaza City, ahead of their offensive on Gaza City.
The "occupation" of Gaza City was approved by the Knesset and is going ahead now with no journalists left to cover it. All with impunity.
Here's Sharif Abdel Kouddous unpacking the massacre dynamics and motives and the help from the West:

Good morning. 🐟🎣☕

4 August 2025

I recall my first fishing experiences when I was a child, sitting on the bank with a pole a like and a bobber. It was fun and exciting putting a worm on a hook and pulling out a fish, usually a little blue gill. We'd go home with a batch to be fried up later. Cleaning them was a chore. Now when I think about it, I feel a tinge of guilt. I'd pretty much killed two living creatures just for fun each time I cast a line. Sure, we usually ate the fish, but the point is, I didn't go fishing because we needed food, I did it for fun. Motives matter I think, don't you?

"And now my friend we meet again We shall see which one will bend Under the strain of death's golden eyes Which one of us shall win the prize To live and which one will die 'Tis I, my friend, yes 'tis I Shall kill to live again and again To clutch the throat of sweet revenge For life is here only for the taking" —Country Joe and the Fish

Whispers in the Canopy

"A quiet grove of ancient trees stands beneath a soft, overcast sky. Their gnarled branches stretch outward like open arms, heavy with long, silvery strands of Spanish moss that sway gently in the breeze. The moss hangs in delicate curtains, trailing from limb to limb like nature’s lace—soft, ghostly, and ethereal. The trees themselves are thick and weathered, their bark textured with age and memory. Light filters through the canopy in muted patches, casting a dreamlike glow on the forest floor below. The air feels still, almost reverent, as if the moss has muffled sound itself. It’s a place that seems suspended in time—haunted not by fear, but by beauty." - Copilot

A quotation from Shakespeare, William:

«
SECOND MURDERER: I am one, my liege,
Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world
Have so incensed that I am reckless what
I do to spite the world.
FIRST MURDERER: And I another,
So weary with disasters, tugged with fortune,
That I would set my life on any chance,
To mend it, or be rid on ‘t.

"You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."

A quotation from Fuller, Thomas (1654):

Look as much into the Intention of him that praises thee, as of him that calumniates thee.

"The court’s decision further states that in distinguishing #official from #unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into a president’s #motives. If a president should choose to declare a political rival guilty of #treason, deploy a paramilitary group to assassinate that rival & direct the attorney general to sign a document saying that said rival’s death is necessary for the “securing of liberty,” these would be official acts for which the president is immune"

Text from article:
The court’s decision further states that in distinguishing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into a president’s motives. If a president should choose to declare a political rival guilty of treason, deploy a paramilitary group to assassinate that rival and direct the attorney general to sign a document saying that said rival’s death is necessary for the “securing of liberty,” these would be official acts for which the president is immune. Unlike England’s King Henry II — who gave himself plausible deniability by wondering aloud, “Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?” — the newly immune president would have no need to speak obliquely.

I got a mail from a #REPUTED #NGO to sign a petition against #Indian #Government cutting a forest in #Bhopal
I clicked the mail to sign. My protection system #blocked their #site because they had ingested #Amazon #Tracker in their site
I think, when going against the govt, #anonymity is crucial. If you track the users while allowing #BigTech to do the same as well. I don't #TRUST YOUR #MOTIVES
For now, I sent them a msg regarding this issues. Depending on their response, I will name them openly.
