SOTT Focus: Inside Israel's Torture, Rape, and Dehumanization Centers

imprisoned
Shocking even by Israeli standards, the horrifying truth of the occupation's systematic torture, rape, and degradation of Palestinian detainees reveals a brutality buried

While the world witnesses the atrocities and massacres committed by Israel's military assault on Gaza every day, the thousands of Palestinians detained by occupation forces - before and after the events of 7 October 2023 - face torture and death behind closed doors, alone.

Worse yet, these detention horrors have been brazenly publicized and even bragged about by occupation soldiers, with violent, vocalized support from wide swathes of Israeli society.

In the shadows of Israel's prisons, tens of thousands of Palestinian detainees are enduring a relentless campaign of cruelty. Reports detail harrowing accounts of beatings, gang rape, and psychological torture, compounded by the denial of essential needs such as food, water, and medical care.

Since April 2023, clashes between the Sudan military Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary force Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have led to many deaths, chaos and instability in the country.

According to the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as of April 2024, more than 8.6 million people have been forced from their homes in Sudan and more than 24 million Sudanese people are in need of humanitarian aid.

A UN report from earlier this year stated that up to 15,000 people were killed last year in El Geneina, the capital of the Sudanese state of West Darfur. In one of the most recent attacks by the RSF, more than 100 civilians were killed in a village in Sudan's Gezira state on June 6th, 2024. The situation is dire. What's going on?

SOTT Focus: MindMatters: The Varieties of Inner Experience with Russ Hurlburt

hurlburt
Inner speaking, inner seeing, feelings, sensory awareness, unsymbolized thinking. Do we all have the same inner experiences? And how aware are we of what we actually experience from moment to moment?

In this episode of Mind Matters, we interview Dr. Russell T. Hurlburt, a pioneering psychologist from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dr. Hurlburt discusses his groundbreaking work investigating "pristine inner experience" - the unfiltered, moment-to-moment contents of our consciousness. He introduces his innovative method, Descriptive Experience Sampling, which aims to capture and analyze inner experiences with the aid of specialized beeper and an in-depth interview process.

This episode provides a unique perspective on the study of human consciousness and the complexities of inner experience. Dr. Hurlburt's insights shed light on the importance of understanding our internal mental processes and how they relate to our self-representations. Whether you're a psychology enthusiast, a student of cognitive science, or simply curious about the workings of the human mind, this interview provides valuable insights into cutting-edge research on consciousness and experience.

SOTT Focus: The Lament of a Digital Bard: Shakespeare Silenced by Woke Censorship (But Not the African Version)

Dystopian
Today something really weird happened that has me scratching my head. Here's how it came about.

Earlier, my husband, Ark, posted a new blog that you can see here: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: The Unsung Path to Innovation

Give the blog post a once-over. Notice the image of Isaac Newton. Ark obtained this image and a second one further down by asking ChatGPT to generate them. But notice, please, that the image of Shakespeare was one he had to obtain from free web sources. It seems that ChatGPT was not able to generate an image of Shakespeare.

Ark commented about this odd refusal/restriction of ChatGPT and I decided to test it. The exchange with ChatGPT is as follows:

Comment: Bonus content! ChatGPT can easily imagine a Chinese Shakespeare.

Chinese Shakespeare
And even more easily, an "Indian Shakespeare, reflecting his vibrant personality and pride."
Gay Indian Shakespeare
ChatGPT programmers are really, really stupid.

SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - July 2024: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

Rainy season in the northern hemisphere is breaking records again pointing to an accumulation of cometary dust, volcanic particles, and electric imbalance of our Earth electric field.

After battering the Caribbean and parts of southeastern Mexico, Hurricane Beryl dumped heavy rain and flooding in Texas, knocking out power to nearly 3 million homes and businesses. Vermont and New England were also hit hard by the remnants of Beryl, with more than 6 inches of rain in 24 hours causing flash flooding that affected large areas.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Anarchy in the UK, ANOTHER Israeli Assassination, "Gender-Fluid" Olympics, and the Trump Conspiracy

It's all happening out there folks! A veritable 'white-lash' has erupted in cities across the UK following the brutal mass stabbing of young girls at a dance class by a second-generation Rwandan immigrant. Working-class Britons bearing the brunt of the social and economic effects of uncontrolled mass immigration have apparently reached their breaking point.

Meanwhile, in what is probably not an unrelated issue, the Israeli regime has assassinated another political leader, this time the leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, while on a visit to Tehran. The Iranian government is poised to 'avenge' his death by striking "the Zionist entity" in one form or another, and many governments are advising their citizens to leave Lebanon ASAP.

In 'sports' news, the Olympics in Paris has taken another disgraceful turn, with its tone-deaf organizers allowing a man to pass for a woman and compete in female boxing. Stateside, the coverup of the botched Deep State assassination of Donald Trump three weeks ago has "magically transformed" into wall-to-wall favorable coverage for cackling Kamala Harris.

SOTT Focus: Whom The Gods Would Destroy...

The saying Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad, sometimes given in Latin as Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat (literally: Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason), has taken on an ominous resonance in today's world. As I sit here, reflecting on the chaos that seems to engulf every corner of our existence, it is hard to ignore the parallels between this ancient wisdom and the modern madness that rages unchecked across the globe.

SOTT Focus: Hyperdimensional Realities: A Scientific and Consciousness Perspective

After a long hiatus, I'm back, folks. And today I want to talk about something very basic that is important to me: Hyperdimensions. In recent times, with a number of UFO/UAP whistleblowers coming forward, the topic has taken on a new urgency.

Have a look at Ark's blog from 23 July: The Quantum Leap: A Journey Beyond Reality where he writes:
The term UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) has evolved into UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). These entities are no longer mere flying objects; they are elusive forms that defy our physical understanding. Despite the media's reluctance to embrace the term "hyper-dimensional," the public is gradually being conditioned for the extraordinary revelations that lie ahead.
Hyperdimensional realities represent a complex concept involving additional dimensions beyond the familiar three spatial and one temporal dimension. In scientific and metaphysical contexts, hyperdimensionality suggests the existence of higher dimensions that influence and interconnect with our observable universe. These dimensions are theorized to host forms of matter and consciousness that operate under different physical laws and principles.

There's something rotten in Denmark.

The beltway is abuzz with some of the wildest rumors imaginable. 'Is Joe Biden even alive?' is whispered through the storied halls of the capitol.

The unelected despot-in-chief seemingly renounced his election campaign via suspicious Twitter note on a lazy Sunday afternoon, after which he hasn't been seen or heard from since. Many are now pointing out the strange idiosyncrasies surrounding the unprecedented event, including the lack of letterhead or that Biden's signature appeared to be doctored:
