While Americans love weaponizing the term “woke”, America in the 1700s was the epitome of woke.
This was (1) a democracy at a time of kingdoms, (2) founded by deists at a time of Catholics and Protestants (Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, Paine, were all deists, others were more liberal Protestants), (3) many of whom were known Freemasons (Washington, Franklin, Hancock, Monroe), (4) some of whom were very young (Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison were in their early 20s to early 30s).
Some white nationalists bring up the fact that America was founded as a more or less “white” country. They cite the Naturalization Act of 1790, which offers citizenship to “free white persons of good character”.
But if you think about it, this was very progressive for its time. Britain had no naturalization process, and for certain times in its history, had explicitly anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish laws. The U.S. had no religious test, and people all the way from Eastern Europe and even (in some cases) the Levant were being considered “free white persons of good character”.
The American experiment had a lot of great things, but it’s important not to overly romanticize it, as most Americans do. It is a relatively young empire and we can already see where some foundational ideas have steered it in the wrong direction.

In case you wonder what they do at the Wailing Wall — according to Hasidic Jews, they are having intercourse with a feminine demiurge (the Shechinah).
It is interesting that every major political figure does this specific act. I would like to think that they don’t know the significance of it, but this information isn’t exactly hard to find.

— 🇮🇱 BREAKING: Israel's 'Walla News' writes about Middle East Spectator channel and the leak of classified U.S. documents:
'Senior American officials today expressed great concern over the leak of two American intelligence documents that dealt with Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran which were published by a Telegram account identified with Iran.
Why this is important:
The US Department of Defense and the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents but did not deny their authenticity.
The timing of the leak occurred as Israel was completing its preparations for retaliatory action in Iran, in response to the missile attack of October 1 and was seen as an attempt to influence or disrupt it.
An Israeli senior official said that the security establishment is aware of the leak and takes it very seriously.
The leak occurred on Friday when the Middle East Spectator Telegram channel claimed to have received documents from a source in the American intelligence community about Israeli preparations for an attack on Iran.
The Telegram channel in question mainly publishes pro-Iranian propaganda content, and the profile of the Twitter account operated by that Telegram channel explicitly states that its operators are located in Iran.
The documents included a report by the Visual Intelligence Agency of the US Department of Defense, which was distributed within the US intelligence community three days ago, and which details operations carried out in recent days at several bases of the Israeli Air Force, including the transfer of advanced weaponry which, according to the report, was intended for an attack on Iran.
The report also states that according to intelligence obtained through wiretapping, the Israeli Air Force conducted an exercise this week in which fighter jets and UAVs took part as a possible preparation for an attack on Iran.'

I’m glad Assad n friends have their priorities straight.
What do you get when Israel is simultaneously genociding Gaza, invading Lebanon and advancing towards Syrian territory?
The Axis bombing the Syrians of Idlib with Russian support ❤️
