Sure is hot out there at the moment.

No kidding.

I went for a hike yesterday AM with a friend in the morning until about 11am, around the Bet Shemesh hills.

Sure was hot.

So, I wore a hat, drank water, and moved my hike to a little earlier in the day, than otherwise. That’s all, no big deal, no drama, didn’t feel the need to not step out of my home (we also went to the Rav for evening prayers, ate chips on Yaffo Street, got soaked in a strange ‘freak rain’ storm, that lasted half an hour.)

Sure was hot, phew…

Lucky for me, I didn’t have a head-full of ‘predictive programming’ garbage from the media, so that when I felt a bit hot, I didn’t then fall into a panic that this was the hottest it’s ever, ever, ever been, and everyone is going to die from heat stroke!!!! God forbid.

As I keep saying, this war is being fought in the arena of the mind.

And it’s kind of depressing, how many otherwise sane, good people keep stuffing their brains full of predictive programming garbage, that just keeps them miserable, stressed and suffering all the time.

Take a look at this YNET article, from 2015:

Crazy weather: 100 years of record temperatures in Israel

Snippet:

Avner Furshpan supports these findings, adding that “we must be careful not to attribute every case of extreme weather to the global warming issue. From our experience and knowledge about the Israeli climate, we know that the link does not necessarily exist, as a significant number of the serious extreme events happened in early periods, before anyone spoke about the issue of global warming and climate changes.

The evidence is that the highest temperature ever measured in Israel was in 1942.

Furshpan should know – he’s the Director of Climatology, Israel Meteorological Service (IMS).

Here’s another snippet from that article:

In interesting event which was not included in the review, and is brought to us courtesy of Furshpan, is the unprecedented heat wave which took place in late August 1881. During that period, a temperature of 44 degrees Celsius was measured at the English Hospital in Jerusalem’s Old City for three days in a row, setting a Jerusalem record which has yet to be broken.

This was before there was aircon, or even, trees and running water, to help cool people down.

Even Ynet, in 2025, is admitting that back in 1944 – 80 years ago – that’s when the modern era ‘heatwave’ records were set in Israel.

Snippet from HERE:

Temperatures in the eastern valleys and near the Sea of Galilee could reach 48–49 degrees Celsius (118–120 Fahrenheit), exceeding the current record of 47°C (116.6°F). The Jordan Valley may see 50–51°C (122–124°F), hotter than any reading there since the historic 54°C (129.2°F) recorded at Kibbutz Tirat Zvi on June 21, 1942.

Jerusalem and Safed are expected to reach 41°C (105.8°F), with possible records in the Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights.

==

Sure, it’s hot.

Sure, it’s a heatwave.

But even more sure – it’s not that unusual, and if we would only stop listening to the brainwashing, dramaqueen, narcisistic media, we’d all be feeling way less ‘hot’, even in the heat.

This is how ‘fake news’ works – and it’s been working that way for centuries.

Here’s a few  headlines from papers that were running in the late 19th century:

South Wales Daily News – Saturday 30 July 1892:

NUMEROUS DEATHS FROM SUNSTROKE

==

Huddersfield Chronicle – Saturday 28 March 1896:

THE HEAT-WAVE IN AUSTRALIA

“Thermometer at 122 degrees in the shadiest spot we can hang it!”

==

Jersey Times and British Press – Monday 29 August 1881:

THE HEAT-WAVE OF JULY IN EUROPE

“The highest temperature recorded in England was 101 degrees at Alton, Hants.”

==

Shields Daily News – Monday 12 July 1897:

TERRIFIC HEAT-WAVE IN AMERICA: 388 DEATHS REPORTED

==

Here’s one from 1877, bemoaning the terrible ‘extreme’ temperatures, both up and down, that had been experienced over the last 40  years:

Globe – Tuesday 09 October 1877:

THE COMING WINTER

==

There are literally hundreds and thousands of articles from the 1800s, talking about heatwaves all over the world, including in ‘mild’ Britain, with temperatures topping 100 degrees…

And of course, in places like Spain and Portugal, the temperatures were way, way higher, and the countryside was ablaze, and it was even hotter than the current heatwave we have here in Israel…

Point is: this is part of life.

It’s not a big deal.

It’s just more fear-mongering from the demonic media, working for their demonic paymasters, that wants to ruin everyone’s bein hazmanim break, and keep the stress piled on and escalating, 24/7.

==

Is it hot right now?

Yup.

It is uncomfortable, and hard to sleep?

Yup.

Is that a big deal, in any way, shape or form?

Absolutely not.

It’s just part of a regular summer, in a hot country, and sometimes, even part of a regular summer in a ‘cold’ country like the UK…

Please, please, please, pull your mind out of the ‘news’, and find something more worthwhile to do with yourself.

(That includes pretty much anything, except committing capital crimes….)

Life is too short to keep wasting it on pointless, drama-queen, headlines, pumped up and circulated by a million social media ‘influencers’ who are looking for more grist for their ‘pointless information’ mills.

Personally?

I am so sick of it.

I only want to engage with real stuff, really meaningful stuff, with real people, real ideas, real information.

And so increasingly… I am staying offline.
