JOE FELZ: HE WANTED PEOPLE FREE

Joe Felz has left this earth, and the people who loved him deserve time and privacy. This tribute will not speculate about how he died. It will remember how he lived.

Joe never pretended to be a perfect man. His life was a redemption story. After incarceration, he left prison with almost nothing, learned trades, purchased a damaged $19,000 house and gradually built businesses and a real-estate portfolio. He did not erase the chapters that hurt. He used them to demonstrate that a human being is more than the worst place they have ever been.

His company’s stated philosophy was “People Before Profits.” He created free solar calculators, guides and educational resources because he was tired of seeing people charged for knowledge they could receive freely. Through FelzBooks, he worked to digitize rare Bibles, Judaic works, Masonic texts, historical maps and other materials so ordinary people could search and study them. His principle was simple: “Information should be free.”

Joe’s faith did not fit neatly inside a label, but it appears to have shaped how he lived. He described himself as a follower of Jesus and an itinerant carpenter traveling around doing nice things for people. He advocated smaller homes, lower consumption, renewable energy, minimalism and stewardship, then attempted to live those values through van life and off-grid power. He was not merely selling an idea. He was testing it on himself.

When asked how he wanted to be remembered, Joe did not ask to be called flawless, powerful or important. He wanted to be remembered as genuine: someone who remained devoted to what he believed was right, even when others opposed him.

Justice is not only about judging the fall. It is also about recognizing the rebuilding. Dignity means refusing to imprison someone forever inside their worst chapter. Second chances mean nothing if we only celebrate them in theory. Joe used his second chance to create, teach, question, share and leave knowledge behind for people he might never meet.

His loved ones asked people not to let unanswered circumstances overshadow his life. We should honor that request. No rumors. No spectacle. Only respect for the man, compassion for those grieving him and gratitude for what he left behind.

Joe Felz fell, rebuilt, questioned everything, shared what he learned and tried to leave people freer than he found them.

Rest in peace, Joe. May the man who spent his life searching for freedom have finally found his free 🕊️

H.R. 7702: NO GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO KILL ⚖️

Child r**e is evil. A child cannot consent; marriage or religion cannot change that. Proven offenders must be stopped from harming another child. For the worst cases, that can mean life imprisonment without parole. Children and survivors must come first.

But H.R. 7702 asks us to give the federal government another power to kill. It has been introduced and is not law. It would require a conviction and capital sentencing—not an accusation alone. Yet every innocent person later exonerated was once officially treated as guilty.

The government already possesses enormous power: surveillance, arrest, detention, property seizure, prosecution and imprisonment. Exonerations document false accusations, hidden evidence, coerced testimony and official misconduct. Jail can already remove an innocent person from their family, livelihood and public voice while the truth struggles to catch up. Why make that fallible system’s power irreversible?

If the government can steal years from an innocent person, why give it power to take the one thing it can never return—their life? A conviction can be reopened and a prisoner released. An ex*****on cannot be undone.

The bill is also broader than its slogan. Its text would make certain federal statutory-age offenses and some non-penetrative sexual contact potentially punishable by death. Those acts can still deserve serious punishment, but when politicians ask to kill in our name, the exact text matters.

In Kennedy v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court held that civilian ex*****ons for child r**e when the victim was not killed are unconstitutional. It also warned this policy could discourage reporting when the abuser is family and remove an offender’s incentive to leave the child alive as the only witness.

We do not write laws only for a government we trust today. The most corrupt government tomorrow inherits every power we create.

Lock proven predators away. Protect children. End child marriage. Support survivors. But never turn justified outrage into government killing.

JUSTICE IS NOT EX*****ON 🦇

DISARM UKRAINE.

This is not surrender to Putin. Russia invaded Ukraine. In 2025, 97% of civilian casualties verified by the UN came from Russian attacks in government-held territory. Ukraine may defend itself. No ally gets a blank check.

Ukraine’s ombudsman received 6,127 enlistment-officer complaints in 2025. Allegations included unlawful detention, seized phones, inadequate medical exams, denied lawyers and physical abuse. Complaints are not proof, but they demand investigation. UN monitors also report undue restrictions on conscientious objection.

In December 2025, the UN said more than half of 137 Russian POWs interviewed described torture or mistreatment before official internment. It documented four ex*****ons by Ukrainian forces. Official camps were largely compliant, and Russian abuse of Ukrainian captives was vastly worse. The scale is not equal. The law is.

Human Rights Watch documented Ukrainian cluster attacks around Izium that killed at least eight civilians and injured 15, plus casualties from PFM “butterfly” mines. Russia’s use is far greater. Ukraine’s use remains unacceptable.

Gallup found in 2026 that 66% of Ukrainians favored negotiating an end as soon as possible. Rating Group found 75% supported a ceasefire only with international security guarantees.

Disarm abusive recruitment. Disarm units that torture captives. End cluster munitions and antipersonnel mines. Remove corrupt actors from weapons and money. Condition foreign arms on tracking, civilian protection and independent accountability. Protect conscientious objection and give service members a lawful path home.

Then pursue reciprocal, verified disarmament: Russian withdrawal, a monitored ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, enforceable guarantees and phased demobilization on both sides. Ukraine surrendered its inherited nuclear arsenal after receiving assurances Russia later violated. Unilateral disarmament would be exposure, not peace.

Not the same history. Not the same scale. The same moral law. No nation is above scrutiny. No ally is exempt. Disarm the abuses now. Disarm the war machines next 🦇

GAZA: FOUR DAYS UNDER ISRAELI FIRE
JULY 28–31, 2026

From July 28 through July 31, Israeli forces continued attacking Gaza during a formal ceasefire period.

At least 10 Palestinians were killed in individually documented incidents, including children. Dozens were injured. The total may be higher because reports used overlapping 24-hour periods.

JULY 28: A drone strike near al-Balata Market in Nuseirat injured nine people. Ahmed Hussein Mohammed Kafina, 39, later died. Another strike injured five in Gaza City.

Israel evacuated and destroyed Dar al-Muttaqin Mosque, damaging nearby homes. It claimed the mosque stored Hamas weapons but released no public visual evidence. Another evacuation preceded the destruction of a Deir al-Balah home, damaging surrounding property and a kindergarten.

JULY 29: Drone strikes killed at least two Palestinians in Gaza City and western Khan Younis. Al Mezan later counted three deaths, including two children. Aircraft also destroyed a residential building and struck an apartment beside Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, damaging the hospital.

JULY 30: Gaza’s Health Ministry reported six people killed—two children, one woman and three men—and at least 34 injured in 24 hours. A missile struck an al-Mawasi displacement tent, killing eight-year-old Ratil Abdullah and her uncle, Abdullah al-Balawi. Other strikes killed Palestinians in Bureij, Gaza City and Jabalia.

JULY 31: Attacks killed Mohammad Abdel Nasser al-Khatib, 36, and another Palestinian in Gaza City. A displacement camp was struck, and ten people were injured east of Nuseirat.

Reuters also documented Israel reportedly moving the Yellow Line deeper into Palestinian areas at at least five locations. Humanitarian restrictions remained in force.

Israel said it targeted Hamas and maintained a security zone but released no complete strike record.

Accountability is not hatred. No nation is above the law. Palestinian life cannot be disposable 🦇

ONE YEAR OF RISING: DADDYBRUCE95’S ANNIVERSARY STREAM IS LIVE 🦇

WE ARE LIVE 🦇

Today, Saturday, July 25, we begin the celebration one day early. July 26 marks one full year since DaddyBruce95 became a Twitch Affiliate, and the Bat-Signal is shining for a special anniversary stream.

One year ago, Affiliate status was the milestone. Today, the real achievement is the community built around it: every Brucie who watched, followed, spoke in chat, shared a stream, stood for justice, brought laughter into the Batcave, or simply showed up when the light was needed.

This stream is for all of you.

We’re entering Year Two the same way we built Year One with faith, purpose, peace, love, empathy, and the belief that justice will always need people willing to stand in the light.

LIVE NOW

1 PM PT • 2 PM MT • 3 PM CT • 4 PM ET

Join the celebration on Twitch:
twitch.tv/daddybruce95

Come hang out, bring a fellow Brucie, and help us celebrate one year of rising together.

WHY DO WE FALL? To rise ✝️⚖️🦇

ONE YEAR OF RISING: DADDYBRUCE95’S TWITCH AFFILIATE ANNIVERSARY 🦇

On July 26, 2025, DaddyBruce95 became a Twitch Affiliate. Tomorrow, we celebrate one full year of rising together.

Affiliate was never supposed to be the finish line. It was proof that a small signal could reach someone and that something real could grow from gaming, music, late nights, laughter, difficult conversations and the courage to keep showing up.

During this first year, the Batcave grew beyond one game and one platform. We built Brucies HQ. DaddyBruce95 became an Epic Games Support-A-Creator. DaddyBruce95.com became a home for Gaming, Justice and Virtue. The mission became clearer: evidence before noise, human dignity before political loyalty, peaceful justice without hatred, and faith that remains intact when the world gets dark.

There were Victory Royales, close escapes, music, jokes and complete chaos. There were also serious conversations and stories that deserved a light. Not every stream was huge. Not every post reached everyone. But the signal never died.

This anniversary is not about pretending the journey was easy or treating people like numbers. It is about thanking every person who watched, lurked, followed, subscribed, shared a clip, joined a conversation, offered encouragement, disagreed in good faith or simply stopped by the Batcave. You helped carry the signal farther.

Tomorrow Saturday, July 25th 2026 we are holding a special DaddyBruce95 Twitch Affiliate Anniversary stream:

1 PM PT • 2 PM MT • 3 PM CT • 4 PM ET

The official anniversary is Sunday, July 26, 2026 but Twitch’s celebration window begins Saturday so we are opening the Batcave and beginning the celebration together one day early.

Tonight, there will be no stream. I’m preparing the Batcave so tomorrow can be worthy of the people who helped build it. Come celebrate, play, laugh, remember the journey and help us begin the next year together.

One year down. The mission continues. The light stays on. The signal never dies.

WHY DO WE FALL?

TO RISE. TOGETHER! 🦇💜💚

September 18, 2024 Lebanon: Handheld Radios Exploded Across the Country, Killing at Least 25. What the Evidence Reveals About the Israeli Operation and What Remains Hidden.

On September 18, 2024, just before 5 p.m., scores and according to Reuters, hundreds of radios exploded across Beirut’s southern suburbs, southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry’s September 19 audit recorded 25 killed and 608 wounded: 61 in intensive care, 141 surgeries and 64 hospitals receiving casualties. Civil Defense reported fires in at least 60 homes and shops, 15 cars and dozens of motorcycles.

These were not overheating radios. Reuters reported PETN integrated into detachable battery packs; some packs exploded while separated from the radio. Sources said the radios carried larger charges than the previous day’s pagers.

The devices bore Icom IC-V82 markings, but Icom stopped producing that model in 2014 and said the bomb radios were extremely unlikely to be authentic. Whether they were counterfeit or modified, and the exact explosive weight, remain unknown.

At least two blasts struck a crowded funeral in Ghobeiry where men, women and children were present. AP photographed an Israeli reconnaissance drone overhead.

Two masked former Mossad officers told CBS the operation began about 10 years earlier. They claimed Mossad made the batteries in Israel, built a false commercial “pretend world,” and caused Hezbollah to buy over 16,000 explosive radios. This is anonymous participant testimony, not a court finding. Over 16,000 allegedly purchased does NOT mean 16,000 exploded.

The Washington Post, citing anonymous officials, reported that Mossad inserted compromised radios beginning in 2015 and monitored Hezbollah communications for nine years.

No publicly released forensic teardown, firing frequency, network logs or official report explains the activation route. No public evidence shows Lebanese towers carried the command or Israel knew each holder and location.

Reuters reported Hezbollah was inspecting equipment after the pager attack. A Hezbollah security source believed Israel activated the radios because discovery was near. Plausible but not a confirmed Israeli explanation.

Netanyahu’s spokesperson confirmed his approval of the pager attack. Israeli reporting, The Washington Post and former Mossad officers support identifying the radios as an Israeli/Mossad operation.

At least 10 dead were described as Hezbollah members. But membership in, employment by or association with Hezbollah as a whole does not itself establish membership in its armed wing, a continuous combat function or lawful targetability. No verified public list identifies all 25 victims, who held a radio, who stood nearby or each person’s status.

Article 7(2) of CCW Amended Protocol II binding on Israel prohibits devices made to appear like harmless portable objects and built to contain explosives. Experts disagree over whether military communications equipment fits the rule. No court has ruled on this attack’s legality.

UN experts and Amnesty demanded an independent investigation. Human Rights Watch warned that mass activation without knowing each device’s surroundings exposed civilians to grave risk. Former Mossad participants described fear, permanent injury and medical burdens as useful effects.

As of July 22, 2026, there is no publicly demonstrated independent criminal investigation or prosecution of the radio operation’s planners or operators. Activation or targeting records, a merits judgment and a comprehensive reparations program have not been made public.

Justice requires independent forensics; every victim’s name and story; disclosure of supply companies, activation records, targeting criteria and chain of command; long-term care; reparations; and an independent investigation.

Truth matters. Every victim matters. Justice matters. Hold Israel accountable 🦇

What Did Hi**er Know About the Coming Jewish State? 🇮🇱

WHAT IF 1948 WASN’T THE BEGINNING BUT THE RESULT OF DECADES OF POLITICAL PLANNING?

A state does not appear overnight.

Before Israel declared independence in 1948, the movement for a Jewish national home had already spent decades building political support, encouraging immigration, purchasing land, establishing institutions and seeking international recognition.

The First Zionist Congress met in 1897. Britain issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917. The League of Nations later incorporated Britain’s commitment to a Jewish national home into the Mandate for Palestine. By the time World War II began, the question of Palestine was already an international political issue. Not a new idea created after the Holocaust.

Palestinians also understood that major changes were taking place. Immigration increased. Land ownership changed. Political institutions developed. Resistance, unrest and violence grew throughout the British Mandate, culminating in the Arab Revolt of 1936–1939 and its suppression by Britain.

Israel did not suddenly appear because of World War II. The political framework had been developing for decades.

Hi**er knew that.

In November 1941, Hi**er met with Hajj Amin al-Husayni and explicitly discussed opposition to a Jewish homeland in Palestine. That historical record shows that Palestine was part of his wartime thinking.

This raises questions worth investigating not because they are already answered, but because history deserves careful examination.

How significant was the future of Palestine in Hi**er’s broader geopolitical worldview?

Did the leaders shaping the future of Palestine fully understand that placing two national movements in the same land could produce generations of conflict?

How much did Britain, the League of Nations, Zionist leaders and Arab leaders believe violence could be avoided?

After World War II, international support for Jewish statehood increased dramatically. In 1947 the United Nations recommended partition. In 1948 Israel declared independence. War followed. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians became refugees during what Palestinians call the Nakba.

The conflict did not end there.

For decades, Palestinians have experienced displacement, occupation, settlement expansion, restrictions on movement, repeated wars and immense civilian suffering. Israeli civilians have also suffered attacks by Palestinian armed groups. International organizations have repeatedly documented allegations of serious violations of international law by different parties throughout the conflict.

The suffering visible today did not emerge from nowhere. It is connected to political decisions, competing national movements, colonial policies, war and unresolved questions stretching back more than a century.

History is rarely understood by accepting only one narrative.

It requires comparing documents, examining primary sources, questioning governments, testing assumptions and following evidence wherever it leads.

The purpose of asking difficult historical questions is not to excuse dictators, justify atrocities or condemn entire peoples.

It is to better understand how political decisions made decades ago continue to shape the lives of millions today.

A state does not happen overnight.

Neither does a conflict that lasts for generations 🦇 ̇tler

ISRAEL’S PAGER ATTACK WAS BUILT TO MAIM

On September 17, 2024, Israel remotely detonated thousands of booby-trapped pagers across Lebanon. Lebanon’s health minister reported 12 killed, including two children and at least two medical workers. Between 2,750 and 2,800 were wounded; nearly 300 were critical.

Two masked former Mossad officers described shell companies, fake ads and use of Gold Apollo’s name without its knowledge. Reuters reported six grams of PETN hidden between battery cells with an X-ray-evading trigger.

The officers said Mossad tested alert sounds to make users reach for the pager. A two-button message made users hold it with both hands while looking at the screen; it exploded even without button presses. The charge was tested on dummies.

One said the aim was not primarily to kill but to wound, burden hospitals and leave people without hands and eyes as proof of Israeli power. Another said making people fear what object might explode next was intentional.

Israel’s military admitted studying pager use at night and outside work. It listed hospital overload, equipment distrust, fear and psychological damage as expected effects. Analysts assessed afterward who had been hit.

Sarah Jaffal endured 45 operations and lost four fingers and her right eye. Twelve-year-old Hussein Dheini lost an eye, parts of several fingers, his teeth and the tip of his nose. Mohammed Nasser al-Din lost an eye and fingers, suffered skull shrapnel and spent two weeks in a coma.

Israel is bound by a treaty rule barring explosive devices disguised as harmless portable objects. Some legal experts find a strong basis that the pagers violated it; no court has ruled. The UN human rights chief called the mass detonation unlawful. Amnesty International said it should be investigated as a war crime.

Netanyahu approved the operation. As of July 2026, no Israeli criminal investigation has been publicly announced.

This was calculated mass mutilation sold as brilliance. God saw every life. Justice requires an independent investigation, accountability, reparations and lifelong care for survivors 🦇

ANOTHER $3.3 BILLION FOR ISRAEL’S MILITARY?

On July 15, 2026, Rep. Thomas Massie demanded a recorded vote on Amendment No. 8 after the chair announced that the amendment had failed by voice vote. The recorded vote was postponed to a time to be announced.

The amendment to H.R. 8595 would cut $3.3 billion from the Foreign Military Financing account and prohibit any money in this bill from being obligated or spent “for Israel.”

The bill currently directs that $3.3 billion to Israel as a fiscal year 2027 military grant for defense articles and services, principally through American suppliers.

It would not take back money already spent or automatically cancel existing contracts, although eliminating future appropriations could affect payments on multiyear purchases. It would not touch the separately funded $500 million annual missile-defense program.

If it passes, it only changes the House bill. The full legislation would still need House and Senate approval and the president’s signature.

One genuine flaw: its language is broader than military financing and contains no explicit protection for humanitarian, refugee-resettlement, peacebuilding or diplomatic programs. Those programs should be protected. But that concern cannot excuse another $3.3 billion military grant without confronting the Netanyahu government’s conduct.

On July 15, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 73,264 Palestinian deaths. A July 8 UN OCHA snapshot listed 173,599 reported injuries. OCHA attributes those figures to the ministry because they have not been independently verified by the UN.

Using damage data through October 2025, a UN/EU/World Bank assessment found 76.6% of Gaza’s housing units damaged or destroyed. OCHA reports that 90% of energy infrastructure has been destroyed and 88% of above-ground water and sanitation assets damaged.

A UN-mandated Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel committed and continued to commit genocide in Gaza. That is the commission’s conclusion, not a final judgment from the International Court of Justice. The ICJ case remains underway, and Israel denies committing genocide.

In a separate 2024 advisory opinion, the ICJ concluded that Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and that its policies amount to annexation of large parts of the territory.

On July 14, Israel’s security cabinet approved approximately $434 million for 34 additional West Bank settlements. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich described the move as strengthening Israel’s hold on the territory and “killing the idea” of a Palestinian state. Most countries and UN bodies consider the settlements illegal; Israel disputes that position.

This is why another $3.3 billion is not neutral. It would give additional military purchasing power to a government whose operations have produced mass death, displacement and catastrophic civilian destruction, while its ministers expand settlements to prevent Palestinian statehood.

We cannot condemn these actions while helping finance the military system carrying them out.

Palestinian dehumanization is wrong. This is about documented government conduct and whether American taxpayers should subsidize it.

Cut the military grant. Explicitly protect humanitarian and diplomatic work.

No government is entitled to American weapons without accountability. No country should be placed above international law. No taxpayer should be forced to finance conduct that violates their conscience 🦇
