Thank you for posting Aaron's last social media post. His words say it all.

I hope those words are reverberating throughout the USAF and US military.

Every pilot, every mechanic, every general who participates in the Zionist genocide for Yahweh is guilty.

Just stop, guys. Just fucking stop.

I wish that someone set fire instead to that monstrous bulk of inhumanity, greed and deceit that preaches hate and mass murder from Texas and that his millions of devoted followers would watch the smoke rising from the pyre in dumb incomprehension wondering if that was what he meant by being "levitated." Not Christian of me, I know, but I can't help it.

I don’t understand Christian Zionism.

I try to lay out the ugly reality of Zionism here:

https://craignelsen.substack.com/p/the-destructive-creed

It's, essentially, a political program imposed on the Jews that lays out the method of Jewish control of the world--a world in which all gentiles are either exterminated or enslaved (that's not hyperbole, that is the literal goal). Christians call these political instructions the "Old Testament" and have been duped into believing this racist, repellent hatefest is "God's Word." It is the written theory of the Master Race (Chosen People). It celebrates genocide, and child-slaughter, and blood "sacrifice," and cruelty to animals, and slavery, and deceitful diplomacy, and, above all, destruction of the gentiles.

Christian Zionists are gentiles who have been duped into believing they are Christians and worship a man who said love your enemies and do good to those who harm you, a man who called out the "Synagogue of Satan." Despite the fact that the Zionist Jews even tortured and killed Jesus, and have, ever since, done their utmost to destroy Christians and Christianity, Christian Zionists continue to worship Zionism because, I don't know, they're just really, really, really, really stupid.

It has something to do with "prophecy," which has to do with seeing shit that is imaginary and then proclaiming it to be "God's Word." At this point, the whole thing becomes too absurd to even venture into trying to understand it. You'll pop your brain if you try.

Laurent Guyénot and @gaytroll have interesting takes on this

That's why I couldn't answer your question, on your last post, about Chuck Baldwin vis a vis ''prophecy.'' It's ''God's Word,'' written by men. It's stupid, imo.

Thank you so very much. I will read your link.

I’m so utterly confused (and disgusted) with these Christians who have devoted so much to Israel and Zionism, etc. I at least want to know why. Your theory about pure stupidity seems to make the most sense :)

But again, I’ll read on. Again, thank you!!

I wouldn’t call it stupidity. I find that there are very few truly stupid humans. Humans are amazingly intelligent creatures. Now if you would say ignorant and deceived, that would be more correct.

There is one verse above all others that is used on Christians to make them believe that they MUST blindly support Israrel:

Genesis 12:3

12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

American Christians have been browbeat by Pastors with this verse, saying it applies to modern day Israel. But God is clearing speaking to Abram (Abraham).

Like all people, the majority of Christians are occupied with the troubles of life, are trusting of their authority figures, and generally accept what comes over the pulpit without much questioning . And so bad doctrines get imbedded into the culture.

Same thing happens to other cultures; take transgenderism for instance. Look how many young feminists and feminized men buy into that absurdity. The damage done to humanity with that doctrine is as bad as Christian Zionism. (But the two are linked).

But beyond all that is that the truth is much stranger than fiction, and humanity are the pawns in a larger spiritual narrative. The absolute truth cannot be known, but I do know from personal transformation, that Jesus is the Light, and in Him is no darkness. The whole show is about that one being.

He should've taken a shot at Fat Hagee, instead. Lighting yourself on fire and killing yourself in front of the "Israeli" embassy does nothing and changes nothing. The jews inside were probably like, "Look at that dumb goyim sheigetz lighting himself on fire out there. What a goyishe kopf meshuggenah! L'Chaim!!"

Mossad reposted the photo of him on fire and said our enemies are so stupid they are killing themselves. On the bright side of thing the Air Force has a new ad campaign out and a new slogan “Ignite your Career”. I think it’s really going to take off.

They only care about earthly things. "Statements" like this mean nothing to them. They see it as one less goyim amalek they have to deal with.

I don't think the message was meant for them. It was meant for us and that's what accounts for 98 percent of the negative reaction. Truly, man doth hate the truth, and we don't often have to face the depth of truth contained in his last social media post, nor the ferocity of the exclamation point he put on it.

I understand and I'm on the same side of the issue as Aaron Bushnell was. I just can't honor or respect suicide. Life is precious and you can't affect things in the earthly realm from the Great Beyond, certain religious beliefs notwithstanding. Most of the "target audience" (us) only sees a mentally ill man killing himself, not an "Imitation de Christo." I think it was a sad, stupid thing to do, despite being on the same side as him.

Not everyone is accepting Aaron's sacrifice at face value. There are questionable aspects to it - who, what and why. Celia Farber's Truth Barrier expresses doubts. Her readers are pro and con about its authenticity.

Whenever we're presented w/ a shocking news story, possible psy-op, there will be a variety of opinions in the alt-media. Gatekeepers will shill, hotheads will bellow, cynics will offer black pills. My tendency has become to wait a few days until some cogent analyses appear before reaching any kind of verdict. However, my first reaction was the same as Craig's: finally somebody backing up dissident words w/ serious action, not just quotidian protest. This level of conviction is backed up by Aaron's demeanor in the video. He appears sincere not demented or cocky. More could be ascertained if the image wasn't redacted once the flame is lit.

I think Ariadna raises a good point. Is martyrdom all that useful? It didn't help the Buddhists in Vietnam. That war ground on for years until the ptb were tired of it. Will it rally Christians in America?

Interesting take, Billy. It’s always good to have cool heads around here.

I find it so hard to imagine someone actually immolating themselves, but apparently Aaron Bushnell’s act isn’t quite as unique as I first thought (I lean towards believing he did do it).

Reinhold Elstner, a former Wehrmacht soldier, committed the same act as Bushnell back on April 25, 1995. At “75 years old, [Elstner] took his life in this gruesome, painful fashion to protest against a half century of ‘defamation’ and a ‘Niagara flood of lies pouring down on our nation.’”

http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v15/v15n5p23.html

Definitely worth the 8-minute read to learn about why Elstner immolated himself, and the reaction of the German public to his act of protest… and then the reaction of the German authorities to the reaction of the German public.

The article also mentions several other Western men who have set fire to themselves to protest tyrannical governments:

In January 1969, the Czech student Jan Palach set himself on fire in downtown Prague to protest the Soviet occupation of his country.

A few weeks later, another Czech, Jan Zajic, committed suicide in the same manner.

In August 1976, the 47-year-old Protestant pastor Oskar Brüsewitz similarly took his life in what was communist East Germany.

You have a better grasp of history than me, so I’m sure you can see the pattern.

Elster's statement is more powerful than Bushnell's. He knew what he was talking about from bitter experience. Apparently AB's first FB reaction to Oct 7 was pro-Israel. I don't think a real leftist would have fallen for them as innocent victims on the basis of msm reports. But as Craig notes, he was so young, so inexperienced.

I don't think we can say whether the acts of self-immolation helped or hindered in any particular cause, since we don't know how things would have played out otherwise. If the goal of the self-immolatists was "the immediate dismantling of the entire Roman apparatus," certainly they failed. But if their goal was to stand up for human dignity and die as men with principles and not as well-fed slaves complicit in genocide then, certainly, they succeeded.

I thought it was interesting in Bushnell's last social media post that, in his list of the great crimes of his people, it was all about white mistreatment of blacks. This is authentic as hell and is precisely what a 24-year-old white American with the noble character he had would say, raised as he was in a sea of Jewish lies.

And this is also one of the reasons I believe his act was precisely as depicted. A Jewish psyop (and there is no other kind) would have included a reference to muh Holocaust. They can't help themselves. I'll go more into why I think this is no psyop in my answer to PTTW, below.

It's hard for us, at our age, to see the world as a 24-year-old sees it. But there were millions of 24-year-olds in the US and around the world for whom Aaron Bushnell's "fuck you" to the American-Judeo genocide complex was like a thunderclap. Among those millions were hundreds of real artists. Aaron's act of self-immolation will live on in the world those artists create. Not even Jews are more powerful than art and compared to which the venom of the Noel Ignatievs and the John Hagees is flushed away by purity of Bushnell's courage.

And how do you know if that immolation is real, and not just another ginned up controversy?

You don’t. Just like you don’t know what images coming from Palestine or Ukraine or Las Vegas or Orlando or Sandy Hook or The “moon landings”, are real.

As usual from these types of events, we get blurred images and choppy footage.

I ain’t buying it.

I buy it based on the responses in the comments of various reports on the incident. The Jews are all out there trying to diminish the significance of his action and of him. Downplaying him, calling him names (leftist, Antifa), and so on. This isn't the response of the typical psyop, which always has clear benefits for the Jews.

And you can always tell the seriousness with which the Jews take something by the number of IDF-bots they unleash on the Internet. On this one, it's like they unleashed the entire population of Israel.

I certainly could be wrong. But as you know and as I stated, there are a lot of good reasons to be skeptical.

Hopefully I am right for the lads sake, because that is just a horrible way to die.
