The tsunami of disgust with Israel's Jewish supremacy is pulling even Mr I-am--a-Zionist himself along.

Qods interview: Signs of tentative unity against US-Israel (Eng/Persian)
English version https://qodsna.com/en/404788/ Persian version at https://qodsna.com/fa/404673
Tehran, Qodsna –The 36th anniversary of the passing of Imam Khomeini, the founder of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, was commemorated on Wednesday. Imam Khomeini predicted the collapse of Zionist regime and the Palestinian people’s victory in retaking their homeland. He designated the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day in order to open a new phase of solidarity with Palestinians in the world.
Canadian writer Eric Walberg talked with Qods News Agency (qodsna.com) in an exclusive interview about the impact of Imam Khomeni’s ideology and Zionist regime’s crimes and genocide against Palestinians.

Tobacco – Death sentence with perks
Meet Joe Black (1998) is basically a 2 1/2 hr anecdote, where an angelic Brad Pitt, the angel of death, comes and saves the day by impersonating an IRS agent investigating and exposing the vile young suitor Drew, as Brad takes fiancee Allison's father (Anthony Hopkins) to heaven. Brad quotes money-grubbing Drew: You can't avoid 'death and taxes'.

Review of 'The Midnight Library': Making sense of Schrodinger's cat
How can a cat be alive and dead at the same time?
I love how science has rediscovered religion. Leaving aside the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe, the universe itself is conscious. In the beginning was consciousness -- inner light. Then there was outer light, etc. Mind you it took billions of years, but what's that in divine reckoning? Religion was the first 'science', followed by astrology. Now both despised. How times have changed.

Justin's reinvention of Camelot for the Masses ebook by Eric Walberg
As we come to the end of the reign of Trudeau Jr, here's a nostalgic take on his ascendancy to the Canadian throne.
Sadly, his time in office was mostly disappointing, his antics worthy of Monty Pyton's Ministry of Silly Walks, but what will follow could make us long for Justin's kindergarten antics.
Travel
Sacred transport
Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts. No!
Well then, don your bicycle helmet. No! Drivers actually pay less attention to you if they see a helmet, figuring they're not likely to kill a smarty-pants, and are less careful around you (2x as likely to pass close). A toque or baseball cap in case of rain is more practical.

AI-Walberg podcasts: Justin and the Beanstalk, Cliodynamics
I was just gifted AI podcasts by ME. I recorded on my cell phone and uploaded here.
Episode 1 was based on my saga Justin and the Beanstalk. Nice suave Brit accent but AI is like pablum. It makes me want to go back to the original. Thank you for being boring, AI!
Episode 2 is based on my review of Cliodynamics: A science of societal collapse and end times from my other academia.edu account. Again, the original has lots more colour.
Not to forget my AI-book AI-Walberg: Twilight of Hegemony: A Multipolar Dawn which appears to be
thrown together without much actual use of my writing.
Russia and Soviet Union
Подарок Трампа Сирии: мир во всем мире, благоволение к людям
Russian translation of РI считает, что главным событием 2018 года стало решение президента Трампа вывести войска из Сирии. Этим действием президент немедленно противопоставил себя не только всему вашингтонскому истеблишменту, но даже собственной команде национальной безопасности, состоящей в основном из сторонников американской империи разной степени радикальности. Канадский геополитик, автор книги 2011 года «Постмодернистская империя», публицист в целом левых взглядов, но симпатизирующий консервативному анти-интервенционизму, Эрик Вальберг в специальном материале для нашего издания попытался суммировать все те чувства, которые испытывают сегодня противники американского империализма в англо-саксонском мире. Будем надеяться, что сегодняшнее сообщение о приостановке вывода американских войск из Сирии не свидетельствует об изменении политического курса президента и что в 2019 году мы увидим наконец долгожданную нормализацию отношений России и США.
Внезапно президент Трамп перестал быть дураком, марионеткой своих генералов. Его последние, исторические твиты взорвались как настоящие бомбы. «Уход из Сирии не был сюрпризом. Я выступал за это годами, и шесть месяцев назад, когда я об этом говорил публично, то согласился подождать. Россия, Иран, Сирия и другие — это локальные враги ИГИЛ. Мы выполняли там (так! опечатка, должно быть «их». — Э.В.) работу».
