Trump got regime change in Texas before Iran

when we shame ourselves to try to create change, we literally block our ability to learn and create that change.

Палестинская мать: Я готова пожертвовать всеми своими детьми и внуками в джихаде против Израиля. Если они умрут мученической смертью, Аллах наградит их. Голда Меир: "Мир на Ближнем Востоке наступит тогда, когда арабы будут любить своих детей сильнее, чем они ненавидят евреев!"

If you hate Zionism, believe Israel is the new Nazi Germany, or think Zionists secretly control the world, you need to understand where some of these ideas came from. Let me take you back to Moscow, 1983. On March 29, 1983, the Soviet Communist Party approved a KGB proposal to establish the Soviet Anti-Zionist Committee. Just one year earlier, Mahmoud Abbas, today’s Palestinian Authority President, had defended his doctoral thesis in Moscow, promoting Holocaust distortion and conspiracy theories about Zionist collaboration with the Nazis. Both emerged from the same Soviet environment of anti-Zionist propaganda. The committee’s mission was simple: demonize Zionism, discredit Israel, and spread the Kremlin’s narrative worldwide. But the KGB had a clever strategy. They deliberately placed Jews at the head of the organization to deflect accusations of antisemitism. Led by Soviet Jewish General David Dragunsky and supervised by the KGB and Communist Party’s Propaganda Department, the committee became a propaganda machine. Here is how it worked: 1. Compare Zionists to Nazis. Pravda accused Israel of using Nazi methods and operating concentration camps. 2. Manufacture Jewish opposition to Israel. Soviet media promoted supposed letters from Jewish emigrants claiming they had been deceived by Zionist propaganda. 3. Stage international press conferences. Committee leaders accused Israel of adopting Nazi practices, while TASS and Novosti amplified their accusations worldwide. 4. Export propaganda worldwide. The Soviet Union used international media, publications, foreign language broadcasts, and propaganda networks to spread its anti-Zionist narratives across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, turning a Kremlin campaign into a global messaging operation. 5. Give propaganda academic credibility. In 1985, the committee published a 300-page White Book portraying Zionism as a global conspiracy and Israel as an instrument of American imperialism. Meanwhile, the same Soviet regime restricted Jewish emigration and persecuted Jews who wanted to leave for Israel. Think about that. More than 40 years ago, the KGB was systematically manufacturing the accusations we hear against Israel today. Zionism equals Nazism. Israel is an apartheid regime. Zionists manipulate governments. Even Jews supposedly reject Zionism. Today, these narratives circulate across university campuses, demonstrations, social media, and mainstream political debates. Perhaps one of the greatest successes of Soviet propaganda is that millions of people today believe they arrived at these ideas entirely on their own. Before repeating the next accusation about Zionism, ask yourself one question: Who taught the world to think this way?

This paper answers why confident idiots run the world. Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy. It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.” they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception. And the results are wild. participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile. they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence. the paper revealed a brutal paradox: the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain. if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing. this creates a dangerous systemic loop. the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions. meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse. top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else. they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add. we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence. the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't. the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.
