Biden, Schumer and the Plot to Overthrow Netanyahu  [46:50]   Caroline Glick

March 19, 2024 – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declares Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace and must be replaced. Is he alone among the US government in his efforts to oust the Prime Minister? And is there cooperation from forces from within Israel to topple the elected government of Israel?

Guilty! — But Not Really Guilty?   by Victor Davis Hanson 

When a criminal justice system no longer treats the accused equally under the law.

In 2011, then Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama, John Brennan, swore before Congress that drone-targeted assassination missions near the Pakistani border had not led to “a single collateral death.”

That was an obvious lie with grave consequences, given that Brennan was sworn under oath and was one of the top officials in the US national security community. Yet there were no subsequent repercussions.

In fact, the opposite occurred. Brennan was subsequently rewarded with a 2013 appointment as CIA Director.

But the next year, once again, Brennan lied to Congress, assuring the Senate Intelligence Committee that his CIA had not secretly accessed senate staffers’ computers. Again, there were no consequences for his repeated lies. Instead, Brennan, upon retirement, went on to be an MSNBC/NBC analyst who helped to promulgate the Russian collusion/laptop disinformation hoaxes.

In 2013, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper also lied under oath to Congress when he laughably stated that the National Security Agency did not spy on American citizens. Later, when called out by senators, Clapper fudged in a televised interview. “I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful, manner by saying no.” Try that contortion with the IRS.

Some members of Congress referred a criminal complaint of perjury against Brennan to then Attorney General Eric Holder. Nothing happened. Again, one of the chiefs of the American national security community was exempted after lying to members of Congress.

Clapper went on to a lucrative position as a CNN national security analyst, and at one point he claimed that Trump was a Putin “asset.”

As far as Eric Holder, he had earlier defied a congressional subpoena and was held in contempt by the House. The Department of Justice, however, chose not to pursue the complaint. Later in the Trump administration, Trump adviser Peter Navarro would be sentenced to four months in jail for similarly resisting a congressional subpoena. Was it a crime or not to resist a congressional subpoena?  [Emphasis added]

The Justice Department’s Inspector General concluded that Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director and interim director, had lied repeatedly to a variety of officials, including FBI Director James Comey, various FBI agents, and officials of the Office of the Inspector General.

On some of these occasions, McCabe was sworn under oath.

Yet in 2020, the Department of Justice chose not to pursue the IG’s criminal referrals. McCabe went on to become an outspoken CNN News contributor. Note that Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s National Security Advisor, was indicted—and convicted—for similarly lying to the FBI in 2017.

In 2016, an FBI investigation found that Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, had violated the law by transmitting and receiving classified information over an unsecured private server.

Subsequently, she destroyed thousands of emails and some devices, some of which were under subpoena. FBI Director James Comey found that “any reasonable person” should have known it was illegal to transmit classified information in such a sloppy fashion.

Comey, however, found that “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

Translated, that meant Hillary Clinton had likely broken the law, but it was unlikely that any prosecutor like Comey would indict the then-current Democratic nominee for president and former Secretary of State—at least in the fashion that state and federal prosecutors would later file over 90 indictments against Donald Trump.

What is the common explanation for all this madness?

Our criminal justice system no longer treats the accused equally under the law. If the defendant is deemed a conservative, like a Michael Flynn, Peter Navarro, or Donald Trump, then the full force of prosecution falls upon them.

But if a Biden, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Holder, or Willis, then the state contorts itself to find excuses, exemptions, and mitigating circumstances not to pursue justice—and so often to the point of absurdity and the erosion of Americans’ confidence in their laws. In these high-profile cases in this polarized era, a cynical public now expects any accused prominent leftist to remain unindicted, while any non-leftwing target will be indicted, convicted, and jailed—for the same alleged offenses.

[Ed.:  This is all thanks to Obama appointed judges.]

 

Biden Administration Seeking to Overthrow Israeli Government to Save Hamas   by Daniel Greenfield
March 19, 2024 at 4:00 am

  • One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse. They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”
  • [O]ur intelligence apparatus is rotted through with Islamic terror supporters and sympathizers.
  • The 2024 ODNI assessment treats Netanyahu like a leader to be overthrown and suggests that this would be a good outcome. It’s a hostile act from a hostile administration that is doing everything it can to save Islamic terrorists.
    Since October 7, the Biden administration pivoted from backing Israel’s effort to remove Hamas, to backing the effort by Hamas allies from Dearborn, Michigan to Doha, Qatar to overthrow the Israeli government in order to save Hamas.

One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says: “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse. They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”

“What can we demand which will collapse his coalition” is revealing as hell. The Obama administration was infamous for trying to use pressure on Israel to create splits inside its coalition government. Biden’s people are trying to do the same thing.

 

The Gaza War: The Real Problem   by Bassam Tawil

With Friends Like Chuck Schumer, Who Needs Enemies?
March 19, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • Rather than taking tangible steps towards peace, [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud] Abbas has done nothing but bypass and evade bilateral negotiations with Israel, while taking extremely tangible steps toward terrorism – from rewarding terrorists, or the families of those who murder Jews, with “$345-$1200” a month for life, to repeating that terrorist murderers are “heroes” — all the while admitting that Palestinians are not the indigenous people there.
  • As for Schumer’s “two-state solution,” 64% of Palestinians said they are opposed to the idea. Those polled would like a one-state solution: a Palestinian state with no “Israel” anywhere in sight. More than 60% also expressed support for an “armed struggle” against Israel.
  • “[T]he only thing we should be focused on is changing the regime in Gaza, bringing down the terrorist regime of Hamas, and not the duly elected government of Israel.” — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Fox News, March 17, 2024,
  • The reason [the Palestinians] just keep “saying no” is because they do not want a Palestinian State next to Israel, they want a Palestinian State instead of Israel.
  • Schumer, by signaling to Hamas and other terrorists that the Americans are on their side against Netanyahu and the Israeli government, has painstakingly emboldened them.
  • Many Arabs understand — unlike Schumer and many in the Biden administration — that the real problem is the Iranian regime and its terror proxies.

In a speech on March 14, 2024, US Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said:

“The only real and sustainable solution to this decades-old [Arab-Israeli] conflict is a negotiated two-state solution — a demilitarized Palestinian state living side-by-side with Israel in equal measures of peace, security, prosperity, dignity and mutual recognition.”

Schumer and his friends in the Biden administration who continue to talk about a two-state solution are either naïve or ignorant of the sentiments among the Palestinians, most of whom support the Iran-backed Hamas terror group, which does not recognize Israel’s right to exit and does seek to replace it with an Islamic state.

 

GREAT RESET CONVERGENCE: Biometric Open Borders, Engineered Crime, AI mRNA “Vaccines,” Food Supply Sabotage, Permanent Martial Law & 15 Minute Cities     2ND SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD

MAR 13, 2024 – The illegitimate Federal government is wholly captured.

Leftist cities are completely under enemy control.

And in the inkiest shadows criminal entities like the United Nations, World Economic Forum and the Intelligence Industrial Complex are carefully running all of these disposable “penetrator” politician puppets.

Longtime readers of this Substack are familiar with one such sociopathic “public servant” in Kathy Hochul, New York’s felonious Governor.

 

The Deep State is Real, Here’s Why it Matters    [30:52]

Trump was Right, the Deep State is Real

JUST IN: US Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson Just Defended The US Government Violating the 1st Amendment During Arguments in Case Sen Rand Paul Calls “the most consequential free speech case in U.S. history”   By Patty Mcmurray

Mar. 18, 2024 3:00 pm – This afternoon, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) tweeted about today’s US Supreme Court case (Murthy v. Missouri) that involves several plaintiffs, including The Gateway Pundit, who have been harmed by censorship by the government and big tech. In his tweet, Senator Rand Paul wrote:

Today, SCOTUS heard Murthy v. Missouri, the most consequential free speech case in U.S. history. This isn’t just about social media companies; it’s a critical examination of government overreach. The Biden administration and FBI’s efforts to influence Big Tech into silencing dissent tramples on the 1st Amendment. Our focus must be on preventing government censorship, not compelling private entities to act as censors. This case could redefine our free speech.

Joe Biden’s latest addition to the US Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, however, had a different take on the significance of the free speech case. Some might say that Justice Ketanji Brown, during oral arguments, dismissed the First Amendment as a roadblock for the government and big tech in their efforts to collude against Americans to censor their free speech.

In stark contrast, US Justice Alito argued that the US government and big tech should not be colluding to censor the speech simply because they don’t agree with it.

Justice Alito to the defense lawyer: “When I see the White House and Federal officials repeatedly saying that Facebook and the Federal government should be partners… regular meetings, constant pestering… Wow, I cannot imagine Federal officials taking that approach to print media.”

And then, Kentaji-Brown Jackson dropped a stunning First Amendment bomb…

“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways at the most important time. I mean, what would you have the government do? she asked the Lousiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguinaga.

I’ve heard you say a couple of times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe. Don’t do it is not gonna get it done. So, I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government, encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.

Elon Musk recently weighed in the censorship of individuals on social media.

“Free speech is meaningless unless you allow people you don’t like to say things you don’t like. Otherwise, it’s irrelevant.” He warned, “And at the point at which you lose free speech—it doesn’t come back.”

[Ed.:  “Kentanji”?  What kind of name is that?  Is is some kind of Obama related Kenya reference? Now, “Brown Jackson” -that’s a good name for an American black. But “Kentanji”?  It’s not musloid. It’s not specifically commie.  So, where is she coming from?  “Everything is in a name!”]

 

BREAKING: Trump Unable to Secure Bond for $454 Million Judgment in NYC Fraud Case as Marxist Tyrant Letitia James Threatens to Seize Assets   By Cristina Laila

Mar. 18, 2024 10:40 am –  President Trump’s lawyers on Monday in a court filing said Trump has been unable to secure a bond in order to appeal Letitia James’ $454 million judgment.

Letitia James last month threatened to seize Trump’s assets.

Last month President Trump offered to post a $100 million bond and asked for a stay of the $464 million judgment in Letitia James Soviet-style NYC fraud trial.

“The exorbitant and punitive amount of the Judgment coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions would make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond,” Trump’s defense lawyers wrote in the filing. “Appellants nonetheless plan to secure and post a bond in the amount of $100 million.”

Trump has been unable to secure a bond for the judgment’s full amount his lawyers said on Monday.

Trump’s “ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is ‘a practical impossibility,’” Trump’s lawyers said, according to NBC News. “These diligent efforts have included approaching about 30 surety companies through 4 separate brokers.”

 

Entering the deal with eyes open   By  Nitsana Darshan-Leitner  

Since the dawn of our history as a country, we have been chasing terrorists with blood on our hands, fantasizing about revenge and finally capturing them – and releasing them. This time, at least without illusions.

03-18-2024 14:40Does the elimination of Marwan Issa guarantee us that Israel’s far reach will catch all the terrorists wherever they are, and therefore there is no fear of releasing any terrorist in exchange for the return of the hostages, even those whose hands are covered in blood?

“I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil” – the promise that Israel will eliminate the last of the terrorists is based on the operation “Wrath of God” for the elimination of the planners of the attack at the Munich Olympics in 1972.

The success of the operation is more PR than God’s vengeance. Even though it was portrayed as a brilliant operation for those days and depicted heroically in Steven Spielberg’s film “Munich”, it took seven years – and several expensive and embarrassing failures – for Israel to eliminate Ali Hassan Salameh, the “Red Prince” and the mastermind behind Munich. Salameh’s commander, the head of the Black September organization, Mohammad Daoud Odeh, was not only saved from the Wrath of God squads, but was allowed to live in Ramallah following the Oslo Accords. Odeh, who did not regret until the end of his life, declared the massacre in Munich – an attack in which Israeli hostages were tortured and beheaded – as a great victory for Palestine, one that would be repeated.

Another example is the Schalit deal in which Saleh al-Arouri was released. Not much time had passed since his release, and Al-Arouri began commanding Hamas in the West Bank and carried out murderous attacks. When he became wanted by Israel, he fled to Turkey. He opened a headquarters there and managed the array of attacks from there. The most famous and cruel of them was the kidnapping of the three teens, Naftali Frankel, Gilad Shaer and Eyal Yifrah and their murders. As long as he was in Turkey, Israel refrained from killing him.

An attack in Turkey, a member of NATO and maintaining a level – and even the lowest – of relations with Israel, is impossible. It was only when he made the mistake of his life and arrogantly visited Lebanon, that Israel laid hands on him. It took ten years, during which al-Arouri spilled too much blood.

Yahya Sinwar was also released in the Schalit deal. Until Oct. 7, for unclear reasons that brought the terrible disaster upon us, Israel refused to eliminate him. Now it is too late. Unlike Marwan Issa, who came and went in the tunnels, Sinwar does not take his nose out of the burrow and surrounds himself with hostages who serve as a human shield. When he’ll leave Gaza as a condition for the return of the hostages and hide in Qatar, Israel will not carry out an operation there to eliminate him for the same reasons as Turkey.

 

The 3rd solution for Gaza is the one that can work.   Avi Abelow

Read on to find out what the three suggested solutions for the day after the war are – and why the only one that can work is the third. Opinion.

Mar 17, 2024, 11:29 PM (GMT+2) – Little by little the Israeli establishment media is talking about the day after, and believe it or not, pushing Israel for new elections in the middle of the war, because they don’t like the direction this government might move in for the day after. And all this with the obvious support of the Biden administration, as President Biden, VP Harris and even Jewish Senator Chuck Schumer have clearly voiced how they think the Israeli people are not represented by our current government.

It is unbelievable how off they are on reading Israeli society today. Israeli society wants total victory and wants the Israeli government to ignore the evil pressure from the Biden administration stopping us from winning this war and freeing our captives in Gaza.

But, I digress.

The Israeli establishment media, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Benny Gantz, the Biden administration etc. all prefer to have the center-left bring down the government and push Israel to elections in the middle of the war, thinking that their center-left parties, led by people who still today believe in the same failed security policies that led to the Oct. 7th tragedy, will win an election and continue leading Israel down the path of appeasement.

What do many Israelis want? Well, the majority of Israelis want to ensure that all Israelis from down South can move back to their homes and all Israelis from all North can move back to their homes, with no fear of ever being attacked again. And that will only happen if Israel is in total control of the Gaza Strip. More than that, many Israelis are openly supporting allowing Gazans to be able to leave Gaza. These are ideas that the establishment media and the center-left parties hate, because it makes Israel look bad in the pr war.

‘I want to be sure that everyone understands that the only path to victory is Israel RETURNING TO RESETTLE THE GAZA STRIP with Jews BECAUSE THERE IS NO VICTORY WITHOUT DOING SO!!!’

This isn’t Avi Abelow saying this, but IDF Brigadier General (res) Commander Amir Avivi, the head of the Bitchonistim Organization.

He explained in the Knesset that the only path to victory is ensuring that we never allow an Arab Muslim terror society to develop in Gaza ever again…

And then he explained the different options, and why Jewish resettlement in Gaza is the only solution that works.

He described how there are three different security solutions, of which two have been tried already. Both have failed, which leaves the third.

 

The Lord is my shepherd   Jack Engelhard

The hardships we endure to continue our heritage is sometimes best told by individuals who Survived the Holocaust, and who testify their deliverance as absolute miracles.  Op-ed.

Mar 17, 2024, 1:45 PM (GMT+2) – From generation to generation they have tried to annihilate us, up to this moment. and yet here we are, a People who never give up. Never give in.

Instead, we survive, and we thrive. We remain a grateful chorus from the Song of Miriam to the Song of Moses.

The hardships we endure to continue our heritage is sometimes best told by individuals who Survived the Holocaust, and who testify their deliverance as absolute miracles.

Yes, there are a few of us left, and must be heard before it’s too late.

They will tell you about Divine intervention, and how they were saved directly by the Hand of God.

So here is one story about how I died and came back to life.

The place was Toulouse, France. This was supposed to be the Free Zone. This was a trick to make the Jews feel they were safe.

In fact, the Nazis were already patrolling traffic. One morning, there they were! Streets were being roped off and Jews, like cousin Villie, were being picked up, never to be seen again.

Father had made arrangements for our escape, an effort that he coordinated with the priest LaRosh, and the French Underground.

There were to be the four of us, father. Noah, mother, Ida, my sister, Sarah, me, the baby, plus five other families whose escape was being endowed by my father.

According to the plan, we were to be picked up by a particular driver who would see us through the checkpoints on our way to the train.

The train would get us to the Pyrenees, and into Spain.

If ..if everything went according to Plan. All of it was risky. But it had to be done. The priest, LaRosh, had been informed that we were on the List to be deported.

A car did show up as scheduled, but to everyone’s horror, the driver was a Nazi.

He turned out to be a member of the French Underground, but we did not know this, as he kept getting us through one checkpoint and another.

 

Ukraine: Unintended Consequences   by Amir Taheri
March 17, 2024 at 11:00 pm

  • Though Putin remains personally popular to a degree that would make any Western leader green with envy, the war is clearly losing popular backing. Latest polls, some sanctioned by Kremlin-controlled organs, show that the war enjoys no more than 30 to 40 percent approval among Russians. More interestingly, between 50 and 60 percent of Russians oppose a second wave of military call-up, something that the Kremlin’s military planners regard as imperative if Russia means to stay in the game.
  • Instead, NATO has found two new members, and not just anyone, because Finland and Sweden built part of their national identity on neutrality. Even worse for Putin, the US-led alliance is seeding up membership procedures for at least four other countries, notably Albania…
  • Being forced to sell its oil at a juicy discount to China is the last thing that Russia might have wanted, had it not been forced to do so because of Western sanctions.
  • What is amazing is that all those involved in this tragedy seem to be unable to read the runes even when plainly explained to them, notably that a war fought half-heartedly, almost as a weekend hobby, could go on without producing a winner and a loser, something without which no war can ever end.

 

The Strategy of Atrocity in the Gaza  War  by Michael Hochberg and Leonard Hochberg

March 18, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • Hamas is perhaps the first regime in recorded history to fight a war designed to maximize casualties among their own population.
  • Failing to swiftly destroy Hamas and directly punish Hamas’s backers in Iran and Qatar will teach sympathizers in other parts of the Muslim world that strategies of atrocity should be added to the playbook of regimes challenging U.S. allies around the world. Even worse would be for Hamas to actually achieve a strategic victory and gain a Palestinian statehood; such an outcome would ensure that atrocity becomes a standard and widely used strategy for at least a generation to come.
  • The laws of war — primarily a Western innovation — are being weaponized by the enemies of the West, who do not subscribe to Western culture….. Today, the United States and our allies find ourselves at war with states and non-state entities who do not subscribe to the laws of war.
  • “[T]he Hamas terrorists killed by Israel in the ensuing war, and civilian non-combatants killed in the Gaza Strip while being used as human shields by Hamas. They are all considered “Martyrs” whose families are eligible to receive stipends of 1,400-12,000 shekels [$375-$3200] per month for life.” — Itamar Marcus; Founder, Palestinian Media Watch, palwatch.org, January 10, 2024.
  • The popular accusation of disproportionality is, in point of fact, aimed to prevent Western-aligned nations from achieving decisive victories. Even when the allies of the United States have the military capacity to break the will of the enemy, thereby imposing peace on the defeated, they will be forced to resort to fighting forever wars.
  • Why should the Israelis be compelled to allow aid into Gaza, when Hamas continues to hold hostage not just Israelis but also Americans? Under the guise of benevolence and generosity, international organizations promote forever wars.
  • If the type of warfare that we have seen from Hamas is allowed to succeed, and is not met with overwhelming violence and utter defeat, it will become the standard approach for those challenging Western dominance. If, however, we want to live in a world where the laws of war mean something, then the penalties for deliberately flouting them need to be terrible. Otherwise more regimes will be tempted to gain advantage through strategies of atrocity.
  • The US should stop imposing on our allies a doctrine of defeat.
  • Finally, the day after hostilities end, the Israelis must protect the new Gazan government from being undermined by renewed efforts to support terrorism and remilitarization.
  • The only path to peace, other than the destruction of Israel, is through a comprehensive Israeli victory and an unconditional surrender by Hamas in Gaza, and a post-war arrangement ensuring that the Gazans will not be able to commit such atrocities in Israel again.

 

Biden’s ‘Trojan Pier’ For Gaza   by Daniel Greenfield
March 18, 2024 at 4:00 am

  • The temporary pier setup is about bypassing Israel to provide long term access to Gaza… [the pier] is not actually meant to be temporary, but a permanent port for the terrorists.
  • The Pentagon spokesman emphasized, however, that American forces would not be on the ground, would not be in a position to secure the aid deliveries or stop Hamas from taking them.
  • Some of those partner nations could include Hamas allies like Qatar or Turkey. Any armed foreign nation entering Gaza would amount to an invasion of Israeli territory with the ultimate aim of aiding the terrorists living on it.
  • The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists.
  • Biden’s actions are a violation of Israel’s sovereignty.

Five Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas, and Biden has sent no troops to help them, but at the State of the Union address, he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza.

The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza.

Nothing about this plan makes sense.

 

Supreme Court Fails to Hold Police Accountable for Firing Tear Gas at Legal Observers Who Filmed Interaction Between Cops and Protesters     The Rutherford Institute

DOCUMENTS

February 29, 2024  – WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court has failed to protect citizens from retaliation for observing or recording police activity in public. By declining to hear an appeal in Molina v. Book, the Supreme Court neglected to hold police accountable for firing tear gas from an armored vehicle at legal observers who were standing in the yard of one of their homes after lawfully and peacefully filming interactions between police and protesters.

 

COVID-19 Tested Our Commitment to Freedom. Four Years Later, We’re Still Failing   By John & Nisha Whitehead

February 21, 2024

“The remedy is worse than the disease.” — Francis Bacon

The government never cedes power willingly.

Neither should we.

If the COVID-19 debacle taught us one thing it is that, as Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged, “Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”

Unfortunately, we still haven’t learned.

We’re still allowing ourselves to be fully distracted by circus politics and a constant barrage of bad news screaming for attention.

Four years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave world governments (including our own) a convenient excuse for expanding their powers, abusing their authority, and further oppressing their constituents, there’s something being concocted in the dens of power.

The danger of martial law persists.

Any government so willing to weaponize one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers and justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security will not hesitate to override the Constitution and lockdown the nation again.

You’d better get ready, because that so-called crisis could be anything: civil unrest, national emergencies, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters.”

COVID-19 was a test to see how quickly the populace would march in lockstep with the government’s dictates, no questions asked, and how little resistance the citizenry would offer up to the government’s power grabs when made in the name of national security.

“We the people” failed that test spectacularly.

 

The State of Our Nation No One’s Talking About: Tyranny Is Rising as Freedom Falls   By John & Nisha Whitehead

March 12, 2024 – “Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.”—Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Day by day, tyranny is rising as freedom falls.

The U.S. military is being used to patrol subway stations and police the U.S.-Mexico border, supposedly in the name of national security.

The financial sector is being used to carry out broad surveillance of Americans’ private financial data, while the entertainment sector is being tapped to inform on video game enthusiasts with a penchant for violent, potentially extremist content, all in an alleged effort to uncover individuals subscribing to anti-government sentiments

Public and private venues are being equipped with sophisticated surveillance technologies, including biometric and facial recognition software, to track Americans wherever they go and whatever they do. Space satellites with powerful overhead surveillance cameras will render privacy null and void.

This is the state of our nation that no is talking about—not the politicians, not the courts, and not Congress: the government’s power grabs are growing bolder, while the rights of the citizenry continue to be trampled underfoot.

CHAPTER 10: Objective Reality Is Required for a Free Society   Linda Gaudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is [upcoming release April 2024]

March 17, 2024 – Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

The globalist War on America, documented in the Dodd Report, is a culture war fought without bullets that has targeted America’s children for over 100 years. The classroom is the globalists’ chosen battlefield, because whoever controls the educational curriculum controls the future. Why is this true?

Because children live what they learn. Education is an industry, and like all industries, it produces a product. The goal of America’s enemies is to produce an unaware, compliant citizenry groomed for life in the planned globalist Unistate. The War on America’s Children utilizes both informational and psychological warfare to achieve that goal.

The globalist social engineers are skilled strategists applying subversive wartime psychological tactics to “change the hearts and minds” of American children. The strategic goals are to replace parental authority with governmental authority, and to move society from objective reality, the adult world of facts, to subjective reality, the childish world of feelings.

Ring of fire   By Michael Kuttner

March 15, 2024 – This tectonic belt of volcanoes and earthquakes has the potential to cause lethal upheavals at any given moment.

Its destructive possibilities have been known for quite some time. In addition there is no way of knowing when it will activate and very little that can be done to mitigate its malign effects on countries and humans.

Basically, we are powerless in the face of nature’s destructive forces.

The Jewish People are no strangers to facing their own rings of fire, which over the millennia have erupted with devastating consequences in almost every part of the globe.

Unlike the unpredictable tremors generated by the forces of nature, the lethal shocks generated via pogroms, libelous lies and poisonous rhetoric are entirely predictable. While there is very little that can be done to prevent natural disasters, there is plenty that can be undertaken to prevent and thwart the tsunamis of vindictiveness against us.

It is necessary to first of all understand and recognize the root of the threats and then to take steps to deal with them in a timely manner.

Herein lies the dilemma we face these days.

Integration? England is becoming the United Kingdom of Allah.   Op-ed.

Mar 15, 2024, 9:56 AM (GMT+2) – “I will transform London into a beacon of Islam”, was the electoral motto of the Labor Party’s Ken Livingstone.

Well done: objective achieved successfully.

The result is Orwell’s 1984 applied to Londonistan.

While a Jewish actress was advised by the police not to leave the London theater besieged by pro-Hamas demonstrators, Jewish students fled from a university and an English MP revealed that he was threatened with being “burned alive” by Islamists, a protester who carried a banner reading “Hamas is terrorist” was arrested in London for holding a sign against Islamic fundamentalists, while pro-Palestinians walked past him.

Niyak Ghorbani was dragged to the ground and handcuffed by officers nearby during yet another pro-Palestinian march in London. As police held him down, Biyak shouted: “Shame on you.”

Interesting that Ghorbani is an Iranian exile in England, while it is the white woke who are pro-Hamas and radical Islam.

London, where 640 buses carry the insignia to the “glory of Allah”, has meanwhile become “a no-go area for Jews”, denouncing the UK Commissioner for the fight against extremism, Robin Simcox, who revealed a concerning rise in increasingly radicalised and organised anti-blasphemy activism in the UK..

And the Jews leave London.

A shiver down your spine, dear sincere democrats? No?

In “The Flying Inn”, written a hundred years ago but which imagines the England of today, Chesterton denounced the cowardice of the West, which not only tries to adapt to the religion of Muhammad but allies itself with it. The character of Lord Ivywood, an English aristocrat and politician, embodies this collaboration of the elites who favor Islamic penetration in the name of progress.

While the Iranian protester against Hamas was arrested, on the roofs of the London Underground stations masked men in black proclaimed the Caliphate.

Integration? England is becoming the United Kingdom of Allah.

 

The West’s abandonment of the Jews   Melanie Phillips

Human rights culture has mainstreamed Hamas lies while Western civilization is no longer civilized.  Opinion.

Mar 14, 2024, 11:23 PM (GMT+2) – (JNS) With every day that passes, it becomes ever clearer that Western civilization is no longer civilized.

Israel’s war of defense against a genocidal enemy is an inflection point in the seismic battle between civilization and barbarism. The West is failing that test.

This was illustrated at the Oscars. Numerous Hollywood stars sported red pins supposedly backing a ceasefire in Gaza. The pin depicts the palm of an orangey-red hand on a red background with a black heart in the middle.

For some Israel supporters, this image channeled the infamous picture taken in 2000, when a Palestinian Arab terrorist involved in the savage lynching of two Israeli soldiers in Ramallah triumphantly displayed his two bloody palms to the frenzied mob.

The group that distributed the pin, Artists4Ceasefire, claims that the hand image “conveys the beautiful community of people from all backgrounds that have come together in support of centering our shared humanity” and that the heart is an “invitation for us to lead with our hearts.”

This asinine froth does not convince. The palm of a hand does not denote community; hand symbols are usually white, a heart is usually red and a red hand signifies a bloody one.

A black heart, meanwhile, commonly denotes evil. And the 2000 lynching involved ripping the heart out of one of the Israeli corpses and holding it exultantly in a Palestinian Arab hand.

Conversely, the image could have been reflecting the symbol used in countless anti-Israel demonstrations to signify that Israel has blood on its hands: A symbol that grotesquely paints the Israelis fighting to defend themselves against genocide as wanton killers of the innocent.

The Oscars ceremony also featured an attempt to transform Israeli suffering into Israeli oppression by Jonathan Glazer, director of the much-lauded Holocaust movie “The Zone of Interest.”

Standing with his two backers, Glazer said, “Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people.” The victims of the Oct. 7 pogrom and the inhabitants of Gaza, he said, were “all the victims of this dehumanization.”

His ignorance was staggering. Apart from no land being illegally “occupied” by Israel, the cause of the conflict is the century-old attempt by the Palestinian Arabs to eradicate the Jewish presence in the Land of Israel and then the Jewish state. And to accuse Israel of dehumanization, when it’s going to greater lengths than any other army in the world to minimize civilian casualties, was simply malevolent.

Far worse, though, was Glazer’s abuse of Judaism and the Holocaust to claim that Israel had hijacked both. He implied that Israelis were like Nazis and that their behavior went against Jewish principles.

This to describe a war caused by the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust and Israel’s attempt to ensure that a second Holocaust does not happen again.

The obscenity of Glazer’s comments can scarcely be exaggerated. The belief that demonizing Israeli Jews somehow represents Jewish values is, however, a pathology that has twisted the minds of many liberal American Jews. It is being fed by a venomously distorted presentation of Israelis as child-killers in Gaza that’s being ruthlessly pumped out by Western media.

This accusation, of course, channels a paranoid antisemitic trope. It’s also based on Hamas propaganda claims that are patently untrue.
