COMMENTARY / OPINION  

Twin Holocaust Survivors Reunite At Auschwitz for 40th Anniversary   By Alex Grobman
August 10, 2023

Reviewing: “The Twin Children of the Holocaust: Stolen Childhood and the Will to Survive” by Nancy L. Segal. Academic Studies Press. 2023. English. Paperback. 110 pages. ISBN-13: 979-8887190860.

As soon as the Jews arrived by train at the Auschwitz/Birkenau extermination camp, the selection process began. Twins were commanded to identify themselves. They were the special project of Josef Mengele, who had a PhD in physical anthropology and an MD degree. His “hobby was twins,” explained Gisella Perl, a Hungarian Jewish gynecologist deported to Auschwitz in 1944. “His ambition was to multiply the Herrenvolk [the master race] and to give to the German people the greatest manpower through twins. He performed the most execrable research on adult twins and now he had the source of the secret—the newborn twins [born at Auschwitz]. He acted like a scientist who, after much tiring and exhausting research, had at last reached his goal and discovered the heretofore hidden approach to the secret.”

The “Angel of Death,” as he was known by the prisoners, directed the selection process, during which he arbitrarily decided “with the power of his index finger” who shall live and who should be sent to the gas chambers. “He was far and away the chief provider for the gas chamber and the crematory ovens,” explained Olga Lengyel, a Hungarian Jewish prisoner at the camp. “He was a specialist at the ‘selections’… the tyrant from whose decisions there was no appeal.” He “profaned the very word ‘science.’”

 

BIDEN AND THE CARTELS: PART FIVE   MIKE MCCORMICK

GENERAL KELLY AND THE CARTEL PRESIDENT

AUG 8, 2023 – The ugly human rights/national security crisis along our Southern Border, being that it is now overrun by drug smugglers and human traffickers, can be traced directly back to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, General John F. Kelly, and Honduran Presidents Porfirio Lobo and Orlando Hernandez.

Of that group, Kelly’s role in this dark chapter of our history is most baffling. As the general officer leading the Department of Defense’s Southern Command from 2012 through 2016, his job was to protect Americans and American interests.

Full stop.

But instead, he spent most of those years partnering with Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a man he knew was enabling cartels to smuggle tons of cocaine into the United States.

And what happened to this general officer who looked the other way for the ObamaBiden administration’s cartel pals? He was promoted into the job of secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in President Trump’s administration.

All I can say is if the Deep State wanted to dump Trump, persuading him to hire Kelly as his secretary of Homeland Security and then shortly afterwards as his White House chief of staff was one of many ways they tried to do it.

After a distinguished career in the Marine Corps, General John F. Kelly assumed command in November 2012 of Southern Command (SOUTHCOM.) That put him in charge of military operations not only of Guantanamo Bay, but also of Central and South America, a region rife with drug trafficking and transnational crime.

Kelly’s promotion came at a sensitive time. Months earlier Joe Biden had a secretive meeting with the Vice President of Honduras during a 90-minute limousine ride from Soto Cano Air Base to the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa. Following that, Biden had another well publicized meeting with the President of Honduras, whom Biden knew was collaborating with cartel drug smugglers. I reported this in detail in a previous Substack.

One month after Joe’s Honduran visit, Operation Anvil was launched. It was an immediate, bloody mess in which U.S. government agents and corrupt Honduran special police killed Honduran civilians with attack helicopters and automatic weapons. The Honduran civilian outcry made it into mainstream media outlets around the world. So of course, there was a coverup managed by Deep State elements in the State Department, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA,) Central Intelligence Agency, and SOUTHCOM. That coverup lasted until just after Kelly left his command and retired from the military in 2016.

Joe and Barack never had to answer for the Operation Anvil scandal. Having Kelly leading SOUTHCOM was partly why.

The Remaking of America   Victor Davis Hanson,  American Greatness

August 7, 2023 – We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live.

The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization. It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath. The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump. And the result is an America that is unrecognizable from what it was a mere decade ago.

Here are 10 upheavals that the Left has successfully wrought.

 

Dear America, Rest Up For What’s Coming When Normies Awake!    by James Howard Kunstler

MONDAY, AUG 07, 2023 – 04:20 PM  Normies Awake!

“The West can’t do diplomacy in general, it can’t run its cities or countries except into the ground, its high-tech projects fail almost as a rule, its infrastructure is crumbling, its economies are crumbling, and all public policies seem to have a civilizational suicide as a final goal.” – Gaius Baltar

So-called Normies might be musing, this month of approved mental languor, whether the mighty efforts to suppress news of all kinds, about everything, have concealed the true tendings of our wayward country – leading them to wonder whether it is even possible to be a Normie in such an abnormal time and place.

What news is suppressed?

That the USA is worse than dead broke.

That the people were poisoned, apparently on-purpose.

That the spectral “Joe Biden” sold out our country.

That the war we started in Ukraine, on purpose, for no good reason, is about to be lost, and with it our standing around world.

That there actually is such a criminal organism as the Blob at large in our government, responsible for the astounding abnormality immersing us.

But never mind all that… for now, just go see Barbie. Have a clam roll, a dip in the ocean, another margarita…. September will be here soon enough.

 

Was Malcolm X, Obama’s Father?   Ted Belman

Judging solely by physical similarities, I would say so.

Add to that high intelligence and oratory skills and I think we have a match.

The Malcolm X Theory

August 8, 2023 – I didn’t write this, but I did find it interesting due to all the secrecy surrounding Obama’s birth certificate.<
>
<
>
Drunk on radical ideology, Stanley “Ann” Dunham meets and becomes pregnant in the summer of 1960 in Seattle WA with the baby of Malcolm X, a prominent black liberal activist who is in Washington at the time forming the Nation of Islam Temple No.67 – 5943 Empire Way. But in 1960, unmarried parents and children suffered penalties ranging from confinement in isolated maternity homes to parental rejection and community disapproval. To be “illegitimate” was to be shamed and shunned and labeled as immoral. The belief that children born out of wedlock posed significant social and public health problems was widespread. In the case of mixed race children, perceptions of illegitimacy were compounded by legal segregation in education, housing, employment, and voting. Recall that it wasn’t until 1965 that The National Voting Rights Act was passed to outlaw discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for the widespread disenfranchisement of African Americans. Laws against interracial marriage and interracial sex existed in several US states and US territories until a Supreme Court decision in 1967.<

 

America is now a zombie state   BY JACOB HOWLAND

Demonic nihilism has infected the nation

August 8, 2023 – “Every nation gets the government it deserves,” wrote the philosopher Joseph de Maistre, and some are getting it good and hard right now. De Maistre’s moral interpretation of politics admits of exceptions, but the United States in 2023 is not one of them. A wasting tide of bad education and corruption is rotting the cultural and constitutional piers that, since the Civil War, have kept the US above the waters of chaos.

The American regime has become a tawdry theatrocracy in which political actors, hypokritai in Greek, play stock characters in a loathsome farce. In the run-up to the 2024 elections, Donald Trump stars as the persecuted saviour, and Joe Biden the righteous defender, of the American republic. Never mind that Trump is self-absorbed and impulsive to the point of criminal stupidity, that Biden is senile and evidently corrupt, and that both of these braying, boorish old men are fraudsters and fabulists. These vices do not matter to their furious followers, who love their man precisely because he is not the hated other. Trump and Biden cannot, and will not, be separated; each needs his opponent as the hammer needs the nail. And above the wretched spectacle sit a click-hungry media, feeding on riot and picking favourites like vulturous pagan gods.

 

The New Charges Against Trump ‘May’ Carry the Death Penalty    by Robert Spencer

We’re deep into banana republic territory with this criminal regime.

August 8, 2023 – From the beginning, the Biden regime has wanted to render Donald Trump politically dead. Now they’ve opened the possibility of death of a more physical variety. With their latest kangaroo court charges, their bête noire now faces the death penalty. Yes, that’s right: drug dealers, murderers, and rapists walk free in blue cities all the time, but a former president and current presidential candidate who dares to stand up to the political and media elites could now get the big sleep.

It has been clear from the beginning that the indictments of Donald Trump are brazenly political, designed to discredit the Biden regime’s principal political opponent to the extent that he either cannot run again in 2024 or is so tainted in the eyes of the American people that it doesn’t matter whether he runs or not. A principal part of this strategy has been to exaggerate misdemeanor charges into felonies and split what would in ordinary circumstances have been one charge into many, such that Trump has now been charged with no fewer than seventy-eight felonies that could get him hundreds of years in prison. Or even, now, execution.

Breitbart reported Tuesday that “Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment Tuesday against former President Donald Trump for his role in attempting to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election includes several weighty felonies, including one for which death may be a penalty.”

 

The Obama Factor    by Lloyd Billingsley

“He’s not normal—as in not a normal politician or a normal human being.”

August 7, 2023  – “He’s not normal—as in not a normal politician or a normal human being.”

That was David Garrow, author of the 1460-page Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, in a recent rambling interview with Tablet’s David Samuels headlined, “The Obama Factor.” Barack Obama is the author of Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, published in 1995. On page 537 of Rising Star, David Garrow writes:

“Dreams from My Father was not a memoir or an autobiography; it was instead, in multitudinous ways, without any question a work of historical fiction. It featured many true-to-life figures and a bevy of accurately described events that indeed had occurred, but it employed the techniques and literary license of a novel, and its most important composite character was the narrator himself.” (emphasis original)

“He wants people to believe his story,” said Garrow, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Bearing the Cross. “For me to conclude that Dreams from My Father was historical fiction—oh God, did that infuriate him.” Samuels, who writes for Harpers, the Atlantic and New York Times Magazine,  countered that “the pose of being a writer is actually one that he prefers in many ways to being a politician.”

“Oh God, yes. Yes, yes, yes,” said Garrow. “He doesn’t want the writerliness challenged. It’s my story and I’m sticking to it. The book [Dreams] is so fictionalized.” And it “completely omits women. I’ve always thought that there’d eventually be a feminist critique of Obama because his mother and all the girlfriends—they’re not there. They don’t exist.”

As Garrow reveals, the Dreams author wrote to Alex McNear, his girlfriend at Occidental College, “about how he repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.” But there’s more to the man who is “not normal,” such as the question of his provenance.

Garrow’s go-between with president Obama was lawyer Bob Bauer. “Whatever you do,” Bauer counseled Garrow. “Don’t ask him about his father.” In the Dreams novel, the father is the Kenyan Barack Obama, a student at the University of Hawaii. The Kenyan “bequeaths his name” to the American and by the end of the novel he becomes a nameless “old man.”

 

Who’s Really In Charge At The White House?   BEN DOMENECH

A certain ex-president wields more power than we thought

AUG 7, 2023 – In The Spectator, I write about an obvious explanation for why normalcy is absent from the Joe Biden administration.

One of the big questions in Washington and across the country as Joe Biden’s very public decline has accelerated is: who’s actually running the show at the White House? There have been various answers, including Ron Klain and Susan Rice; even Doug Emhoff has been touted as having outsized influence. But the one name we ought to be paying more attention to is obvious — the man who cleared the 2020 field for Joe, tapped Kamala as his running mate and now hosts regular meetings at his 8,000-square-foot house just two miles from the Oval Office he used to occupy: Barack Obama.

Last week’s publication of an interview with biographer David J. Garrow by David Samuels in Tablet magazine went viral for a number of hot-button reasons, but this is the actual headline takeaway Americans ought to have for the piece: they’re living through Barack Obama’s third term. Samuels draws attention to this point particularly in the context of foreign policy:

The rest of the year, [Obama] lives in a large brick mansion in Kalorama. Doesn’t it strike you as weird that he’s an ex-president, he’s comparatively young and he’s living in the center of Washington, DC? The original excuse was that Sasha had to finish school. Then you could say, “Well, the opposition to Trump needs a figure to rally around.” But now Sasha has graduated from USC, Trump is gone, Joe Biden was elected present, but he’s still there…

Doesn’t that strike you as odd? I mean, I have heard from more than one source that there are regular meetings at Obama’s house in Kalorama involving top figures in the current White House, with Secret Service and cars outside. I don’t write about it because it’s not my lane. There are over a thousand reporters in Washington, and yet there are zero stakeouts of Obama’s mansion, if only to tell us who is coming and going. But he clearly has his oar in.

I don’t follow the Iranian stuff super, super carefully, but I have been puzzled at the Biden administration’s continuing attachment to the Iran deal.

The easy explanation, of course, is that Joe Biden is not running that part of his administration. Obama is. He doesn’t even have to pick up the phone because all of his people are already inside the White House. They hold the Iran file. Tony Blinken doesn’t.

 

MUST WATCH: Pres. Trump Amplifies Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes’ Claims in Truth Social Post – Suggests Space Force Has Evidence of 2020 Election Fraud: “Trump Knew if He Presented Any of the Goods Early On, We’d Have a CIVIL WAR”   By Jim Hft 

Aug. 7, 2023 7:30 am – In a recent post on his social media platform, Truth Social, former President Donald Trump quietly confirmed the analysis and comments made by Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes during a recent interview.

Halper-Hayes, a former Global Vice President of Republicans Overseas UK, made headlines with her statements during an appearance with a British morning news show, Breakfast with Stephen and Ellie, last Thursday.

Halper-Hayes pushed back against the widely held belief that Trump’s case is based solely on political conspiracy theories, arguing that there are significant questions about election integrity that require attention. She further contended that the current indictment has inadvertently given Trump a platform to present his case and expose possible election irregularities.

During the interview, Halper-Hayes claimed to be part of a Department of Defense (DoD) Task Force, asserting that Space Force had evidence proving the fraudulent nature of the 2020 election.

According to Halper-Hayes, Trump had chosen not to disclose such evidence early to prevent civil unrest, believing it could lead to a civil war.

“I sit on a task force at the Department of Defense, and the thing is, they’ve got the goods. They’ve got the goods. And Trump knew that if he presented any of the goods early on, we’d have a civil war, that he really felt that the people needed to see how bad it could get,” said Halper-Hayes.

“See, the thing is, think about Edward Snowden and all the information he had. Think about the fact that our military, our Department of Defense Space Force, if you think that they don’t have the actual real results from the election, then you’re fooling yourself,” said Halper-Hayes.

[Ed.:  Wow.  I think that perhaps, I’m beginning to get it...  1.  He didn’t want the bloodshed of a civil war. 2.  He wanted everyone (on both sides of the isle and world-wide) to see and acknowledge what is really going on and how bad it can get. And 3. He wanted to let the Deep State (those who took over our country) to individually expose themselves and be taken down once and for all through peaceful legal processes.]

 

Concerned for My Son   KAREN KINGSTON

AUG 6, 2023 – Dear Subscribers: I was informed by by security, Ernest Luque <eluque@alphassb.com>, the security I hired that my message regarding the C19 injections and certain others put me on a government hit List. Eric was an FBI agent and was at the Pentagon for years under Obama and HiLLary. Eric informed me I have a 50/50 chance of surviving, at best. I was on gettr today and expLained how I have poisoned numerous time since the incidence in FL via aerosoL, food a[nd] beverages.

The Last time I texted with Gavyn was on Thurs, 7/27/2023 after he dropped me off at CBX airport. He never sent me any text messages after. UntiL today. Either did my mom.

I am very concerned for both them. My son is Gavyn Davies. My mom is Yvonne Kuchler.

 

Professor John Mearsheimer on the Ukraine War   JOHN LEAKE

Why didn’t the West negotiate an Austrian-style neutrality deal with Russia?

AUG 6, 2023 – The Canadian writer and journalist, Aaron Maté, just published what strikes me as the most intelligent and illuminating conversation about the war in Ukraine I’ve heard thus far.

I have studied European history for forty years and lived in Austria for a total of 15. For the last 18 months I have tried in vain to answer the question: Why didn’t the United States at least try to negotiate with Russia for an Austrian-style neutrality deal for Ukraine?

Consider that if a neutrality deal was struck and the Russians subsequently violated it, THAT would be clear grounds for war. Instead, the United States government has simply and and steadfastly dismissed Russia’s view of the matter—a view that Russia has plainly and repeatedly stated since at least 2008.

Note that the arrogant and dismissive attitude of the U.S. government towards Russia since 2008 was in spite of the fact that Cold War eminences such as George Kennan urged the United States government to abandon its harebrained NATO expansion plan in 1997. As Kennan put it in a February 5, 1997 New York Times essay titled “A Fateful Error:”

 

History Repeats Itself: Democrats Are Using Tactics of the Marxists of 1917 in Russia to Steal America   By Jim Hoft

Aug. 6, 2023 4:28 pm – Once again we are republishing this analysis by John L Kachelman, Jr.
We first published this piece back in October 2020 before the presidential election.

2020 the “Perfect Storm” facing our Republic— All three branches of our Government are in peril

Historical Discovery…An election in 1917 forecast the election in 2020! Here are the elements from 103 years ago!

  • Years of preparatory work were spent in misleading and mis-directional propaganda
  • Contested voting results marred the election’s finality and ultimately its dismissal
  • Claims that the poor were going to be disenfranchised of their votes
  • The scheduled voting was extended by two months
  • Division, violence, slander and libel were widespread
  • A delusional/cunning/conniving campaign made unrealistic promises to win the population
  • Anger and mob violence were deliberately stirred against “privilege,” possessions, and status
  • Deceptive claims persuaded the “majority” they were robbed of their electoral victory
  • Inevitable civil war was sparked at the election’s end because Lenin’s group failed to win the majority
  • The dissolution of the old State and a “transformation” of the new system was promised to lead to true socialism but it brought history’s worst and longest ruling tyrant

And here is how it happened…

 

We are living George Orwell’s 1984   TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

AUG 5, 2023 – LIBERAL ATTORNEY JONATHAN TURLEY: The latest case against President Trump is dangerous because it sets up the Feds as the ultimate “arbiters of truth.”

Jack Smith’s indictment essentially charges Trump with not accepting the Federal Government’s view of “truth.” There is no limiting principle to this indictment. The government would decide which politicians we are allowed to believe. To bag Trump, Jack Smith will have to bulldoze through the First Amendment and a line of Supreme Court cases. That’s why this latest indictment of Trump isn’t just wrong. It is reckless.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2023/08/02/trump-indictment-2020-election-jan-6-not-legally-sound/70509753007/

This is just what George Orwell warned us about in 1984.

George Orwell wrote a book called “1984” warning about global totalitarianism – a world run by just a few people called THE PARTY. He basically predicted the GREAT RESET and what’s happening in the world right now. THE PARTY is the NEW WORLD ORDER. He wrote that book in 1949. He was WAY ahead of his time.

He wrote about how THE PARTY used fake news to control the narrative. He wrote about Big Brother watching and controlling We the People’s every move – even in their own homes – think about how they did that with COVID and want to do it with a One World digital currency and social credit system.

He wrote about how Governments used “fake revolutions” to scare people & intimidate people into believing that life under a Marxist (Communist) dictator, where you were watched constantly and spoon-fed propaganda, wouldn’t really be that bad – just like the BLM-ANTIFA-BLACBLOC-OCCUPY riots they’ve subjected us to.

He wrote about how THE PARTY would divide people and brainwash people until the point they would believe lies and turn against their own families & friends just to save themselves.

He wrote about how The Party rewrote the past and erased all evidence of fact – and then used new “text books” to indoctrinate the next generation into their lies. Think about how they are destroying statues, removing books from our libraries right now and censoring people on every social media platform – in the name of protecting you:

Jim Kunstler Fears “Civic Upheaval” From ‘A Final Desperate Diversion’ By Our “Lawless, Faithless, Clueless Government”   BY TYLER DURDEN

FRIDAY, AUG 04, 2023 – 04:20 PM

Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com,

Desperation Creeps In

“There is only one way to explain this shambles: Every one of these crises traces back to the Democratic Party’s obsession with taking and holding power more or less indefinitely to suit its hubristic, end-of-history “narrative” of righteous liberal triumph.”

– Patrick Lawrence

That silence you hear these dog days of a wilting empire is the calm before the storm and everybody knows it.

“Joe Biden’s” final desperate ploy against the menace of Donald Trump looks about on par with the Ukraine spring offensive, hardly even worth a “hey, nice try.”

So, the best they could do was to charge Mr. Trump with objecting vocally to an election that looked as rotten as Hunter’s uncapped teeth?

We all saw what happened overnight November 3 and 4, 2020:

 

What’s in Tom Friedman’s Anti-Israel “Peace Plan”?   [29:08]   Caroline Glick

08/05/2023 – Tom Friedman treats us to another anti-Israel piece, anti-reform protestors reach out to a foreign power to help them, and the Israeli Supreme Court weighs whether to abrogate Basic Laws.

In my News Analysis this week, I discussed:

1 – The backstory behind the flurry of U.S. diplomatic activity in Saudi Arabia. What is the Biden administration seeking to achieve in its sudden effort to shepherd a deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and what does Tom Friedman want Israel to do?

2- The renewed efforts by Ehud Barak’s team to mobilize the Biden administration against the Israel government and what it tells us about the people organizing the assaults on the Netanyahu government.

3 – The Supreme Court President Esther Hayut’s decision to adjudicate petitions calling for the abrogation of Basic Laws, which are themselves the source of the Supreme Court’s power.

 

Should Israel Stop Receiving U.S. Military Aid?   [1:15:37]   Caroline Glick

08/05/2023 – Today a debate is raging about U.S. military aid to Israel among Israel’s supporters. Is U.S. military aid good for Israel or has it become an excuse for Israeli strategic passivity?

Is Israel so dependent on the aid that it ignores its own interests and endangers lives?

To advance this debate, my guest on this week’s Caroline Glick Show was Dr. David Wurmser from the Center of Security Policy.

We discussed:

– How the US money has inhibited the advancement of Israel’s strategic position and endangered lives

– The little-known historical context of how and why U.S. aid to Israel began

– The importance of allowing Israel to act in its own interests.

Don’t miss this discussion which covers old ground in a new, and necessary way.
