9/10 – 15/10/23 Nude Swimmers, Israel Attacks & Dinner Invitation

Welcome to Monday’s News on the March – The week that was in my digital world.

Lifeguard from Argentina and Noosa surfers rescue nude swimmers ripped out to sea
News article at ABC News (Australia)

An off-duty lifeguard from Argentina and two young surfers have been praised after bravely rescuing two drowning swimmers at a remote beach on the Sunshine Coast (Australia)….

Ms Guacci, a trained lifesaver in Argentina, eventually made it out to the young couple. “The woman was screaming,” Ms Guacci said. “She was very scared. She kept saying, ‘I can’t do it’. I kept saying, ‘Please keep trying, we can do it‘.”

Ms Guacci managed to hold the woman up for several minutes before the two surfers arrived and put the swimmers on their boards. Noosa surfer Kaiden Smales, 19, said when he realised what was happening, he and his brother sprinted down the beach before quickly paddling out. 

He put the man on his board, while his brother went to Ms Guacci and the other woman who was “about to drown”.

The Israel Attacks: Beyond the Obvious with Efrat Fenigson
Video interview at Brett Weinstein

Below are comments about the above discussion which I couldn’t help but ‘side’ with:

A great relief for those of us who are simply incapable of blindly accepting the narrative. A very, very important discussion.

Great respect to Efrat Fenigson for her intelligence and courage. One of the repercussions of our living in a dystopian world is the extent to which intelligent people are forced to speak in an elliptical manner much of the time, almost in code. In fact, it is a hallmark of a totalitarian order. Not complaining about your conversation, simply making an observation about our situation.

The barrage of insanity is starting to look too much like ‘Wag The Dog’ to keep us from discovering the real truth! Discernment is critical in these challenging times!

In a follow up podcast – Bret and Heather 195th DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: Hanlon’s Sledge Hammer, Brett said the following:

We are stuck with a terrorist organisation wielding barbarism in order to make sure there is no choice in the response and embedded in the population that is going to be devastated…Israel was put in a predicament that is a trap; that the only response it can make is inherently a response that will have severely negative effects on the way people view the state of Israel…

As an addendum to the above discussion, I would like to present Yuval Noah Harari – Hamas and Gaza | A Liberal Israeli’s View and this BBC interview with Kibbutz massacre survivor who described the attack by Hamas gunmen.

2872.  Dinner invitation
Bruce Goodman’s two thousand, eight hundred and seventy second post at Weave a Web

Fellow blogger Bruce Goodman is a dear friend of mine. His short stories at Weave a Web have appeared here a bunch at Monday’s ‘News on the March‘. Today’s featurette is his recent short story called ‘Dinner Invitation‘. I hope you all enjoy:

Princess Adelaide of Bracksenfeld (a country in Northern Eustantia) wasn’t a hundred percent sure how to knock on the castle door. She had crossed the bridge over the moat and was faced with a thirty foot solid wooden door that didn’t appear to have a doorbell. Knocking on a door that size was like knocking on a rock face in some stony national park. It would have been futile.

Princess Adelaide had been invited to dinner by Prince Eugene the Masher. He may have had a reputation for ruthlessness but he was extremely handsome and the most eligible bachelor in the whole of Eustantia. Who could turn down an invitation to dinner with him? Certainly not Princess Adelaide of Brackensfeld.

The princess had bought along a cheap bottle of wine and a box of after-dinner mints. They were a gift to her host as a thank you for a delightful evening. She knew that the Prince absolutely adored a cheap Merlot and after-dinner mints. (Cheap wine in a castle is a hard thing to come by).

Princess Adelaide had knocked on the gigantic castle door three times and nothing had happened. Then a voice wafted through a crack in the castle wall. “Welcome to my castle, Princess Adelaide of Brackensfeld. Please place the wine and the after-dinner mints on the shelf to your right. When you have carefully done that please pull the rope that hangs down to your left.”

The princess was amazed at how simple the process of opening the door was to be. The rope either opened the door or rang a door bell. She was about to find out. She gave the rope a good tug.

A thirty-ton block of granite dropped down from a great height on top of the princess and squashed her beyond recognition. Prince Eugene the Masher came through a side door and grabbed the wine and after-dinner mints. “Yum,” he said.
