British and French ministers remove hostage pins before PA meeting, accused of racism By MOSHE PHILLIPS
British and French ministers removed hostage support pins before meeting a Palestinian leader, sparking accusations of racism and appeasement. Opinion
AUGUST 26, 2024 The Jerusalem Post – The decision by the British and French foreign ministers to remove the yellow pins supporting the hostages before meeting a Palestinian Authority leader was not only appalling and cowardly – it was also downright racist.
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné wore the yellow pins when they met with Israel’s foreign minister last Friday. However, they removed the pins before meeting with PA Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa later that same day.
This fear of offending a Palestinian Arab leader naturally calls to mind the behavior of the British and French toward the Nazis in the 1930s. Obviously there are differences, but nobody can deny that the spirit of appeasement displayed by the British and French this past weekend echoes some of the worst periods in recent history.
The British and French officials last weekend had an opportunity to show that their government had learned the lessons of the 1930s and were ready to confront, rather than appease, a leader of a pro-terror regime. Instead, they demonstrated that they have learned nothing from history, choosing to echo Chamberlain, not Churchill.
The conduct of the British and French is also a slap in the face of the United States. There are at least eight Americans being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. That yellow pin represents them as much as it represents the Israeli and other non-American hostages. Removing that pin is, in effect, saying that the British and French governments couldn’t care less about the fate of the American hostages.
Not only was this an act of craven appeasement and an insult to every American; it was also profoundly racist.
Meaning behind pin removal
By removing their pins, the British and French implied that a Palestinian Arab leader cannot be expected to oppose kidnapping, starving, and torturing innocent civilians. They’re saying there is something inherently barbaric about Palestinian Arabs that compels them to support evil hostage-takers and gang-rapists.
If the British and French foreign ministers had met with any other foreign leader, presumably they would have kept the pins on. But the minute a Palestinian Arab walked into the room, they said to each other, “This guy’s a Palestinian Arab – so he must support the hostage-holders. We better take off our pins so we don’t offend him! He can’t help it; he might get mad if he sees that we’re against holding innocent people hostage!”
If that’s not racist, what is?

Coup has already Occurred, 2024 Election Will Not Happen w/ Naomi Wolf SARAH WESTALL
AUG 24, 2024 – My latest show with Naomi Wolf has hit a nerve. It’s trending on many platforms and several people reached out to let me know that they have independently come to the same conclusion as Wolf.
I don’t know if they are correct. My own thoughts are that they will cheat if they think the public will believe it. Thus fake polls are being used to convince the public Harris/Walz are ahead and will win. Together the fake polls, ballot harvesting, rigging machines, etc… constitutes cheating. I believe this will be their first option.
However, if they think they cannot cheat in a reasonable fashion then I believe what Wolf and others are saying may come true.
Regardless, we are in for a lot more chaos if either scenario ends up being accurate.
In the show, we discuss much more than the election. She also explains why she says the coup has already taken place. That the country has already fallen. She explains what that means. It is really her main point.
Here are the details of the show:
Title: Coup has already Occurred, 2024 Election Will Not Happen w/ Naomi Wolf
Description: Naomi Wolf joins me to discuss the 2024 election season and all the strangeness. She predicts that the election won’t take place; that an event of some sort will cause it to be suspended. This will ultimately usher in a communist dictatorship led by the democrats. She claims that in reality the coup has already taken place and she elaborates on why she believes this. It is true that we are dealing with people who are irrational and power hungry. A combination that could ultimately lead to disasters of unimaginable proportions.

[Ed.: I agree with Naomi Wolf. But if we will have an election, Trump will win by a landslide. Then it will be announced that whats-her-name won the election. This is the new Democrat election process: Whoever wins, loses.]
A critical review of the Democrat Convention Jack Engelhard
First, Kamala. Nary an original thought, she has been properly schooled in the language of blah, blah, blah. Op-ed.
Aug 25, 2024, 10:55 AM (GMT+3) INN – One speaker after another, blah, blah, blah
They all took turns making the case for Kamala Harris, a woman least qualified to be president of anything, least of all president of the United States.
Can they be serious? Of course not. In their hearts they know she’s a dunce, but she is all they’ve got, so they will do anything to sell her as the best and the brightest.
That is how it works in their politics. Dazzle the people with clichés and they will buy the Brooklyn bridge.
So they spoke, to the music of thunderous applause, not a word of truth, but one tall tale after another, during the monotonous speechifying.
They lie as naturally as they breathe.
All you heard was blah, blah, blah. Hoorah brayed the gullible believers. Sycophants united at the DNC.
Barack, Michele, Joe, Jill, Nancy, Pete, Chuck, Bill, Hillary, that guy Walz, and of course that woman AOC, who thundered louder than the rest of them a warning, that in order to save yourself from being branded a racist, a bigot, a threat to democracy, you, America, must embrace and adore Kamala Harris.
Strangely, Kamala’s pitch, her manifesto, harks on her undoing the damage that had been done over the past four years…her four years, that is, while she and Joe Biden ran the show!
Therefore, vote for Kamala for more of the same. That’s the deal?
Vote for Trump at your peril. they say…and by the way, should Trump (hopefully) win, how many times do you think they will they try to impeach him?
They did it before, they will do it again.
Joy at this Convention? Rather, anger, rage, and hatred…and since there is no fact-checking from the media, they can get away with anything and everything.
There is nothing to stop them, as there wasn’t back in 2020, when, later, in a column, Living with the crime of the century, we wrote, “The biggest losers are the American people. Had they known the unsavory facts about Hunter and his father, Joe, Trump would be enjoying his second term…and it does not matter if you love or hate Trump.
“What matters is that the 2020 election was cooked by the media to deny voters the right to the truth, so they voted eyes wide shut.”
So here we go again? Yes. So long as the Silent Majority remains silent, those politicians will continue to pontificate their time-tested baloney.
Blather like this, for example, from Kamala herself upon her acceptance speech Thursday night…promising to “unite America” and to “push for a new way forward.”
Where have we heard this before?
Platitudes like that go back to Cicero, and to Joe Biden who divided the country after he vowed to unite the country.
With the same malarkey, he passes the baton to Kamala Harris, the queen of clichés. Nary an original thought, she has been properly schooled in the language of blah, blah, blah.
No one did it better than Irwin Corey. Remember him? He was hilarious. His shtick was to step on stage in formal wear and sneakers and bill himself “professor,” plus, “the world’s foremost authority.” As such, he would commence to babble the most highfalutin phrases in academic-speak, spritzing nonsense after nonsense.
But this was the trick. It sounded real.
He even fooled you, until you caught on. There is the story about his being invited to address a convention of psychiatrists…who gave him a standing ovation.
They bought the shtick.
Sounds like Kamala and her Democrats. Only they are not comedians. They intend to run your life and your world, and they are deadly serious about this.
America, Silent Majority, you have been warned.
Israel-Hamas ceasefire would breach international law Prof. Louis René Beres
International law has precise form and content. It cannot be invented and reinvented by terror groups. Such law does not support the hope-based adoption of cease-fire agreements between sovereign states and criminal gangs.
Aug 25, 2024, 12:25 AM (GMT+3) INN – Israel and Hamas could still reach an agreement on a “cease fire.” But because the jihadist terror organization still regards all of Israel as “Occupied Palestine,” this agreement will almost certainly fail. Accordingly, for both Israel and the “international community,” there will be injurious consequences for international justice. Some of these consequences would be “force-multiplying” and irremediable.
It’s high time for realistic understandings of these urgent issues.
The immediate effect of any anticipated cease-fire agreement would be the defiling bestowal of legal legitimacy on insidious terror-criminals. The longer-term effect would be to undermine the authority of international law in general and to enlarge the prospects of a continuous regional war.
In principle, at least, even such grievous effects could be acceptable if accompanied by a return of hostages (criminally-abducted citizens from over twenty separate countries, including a one-year old Israeli child), but no such humanity should be expected from Hamas. If perchance Hamas did actually return some of the still-living hostages, it would assuredly compensate for this “generosity” by attempting to repeat October 7th atrocities at later dates and in different venues.
There are further legal details. No authoritative system of law can encourage or allow accommodation between a legitimate national government and a barbarous criminal organization. Though any promised cessation of hostilities could conceivably benefit Israel as well as Hamas, the cumulative costs for both Israelis and Palestinians would plausibly exceed anticipated gains. Even if Israel could expect the return of some hostages, Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) would feel incentivized to launch future hostage-taking operations. Lest anyone forget, Hamas is motivated at its core by “criminal intent” or mens rea.
Hamas is an illegal organization. This inherent illegality is deducible from the far-reaching criminalization of terrorism discoverable under binding international law. Such a primal status can never be correctly overlooked by third party agreement brokers (e.g., the United States), however well-intentioned.
Before the ancient Hebrew laws of Deuteronomy, there already existed determinable rules of warfare. Today, these “peremptory” norms (rules that are over riding and ought never to be broken) bind insurgent fighting forces, not just traditionally uniformed national armies. Conspicuously, these rules stem from the St. Petersburg Declaration (1868), a codification that followed still-earlier limitations identified at the First Geneva Convention (1864).
Under longstanding international law, “the means that can be used to injure an enemy are not unlimited.” No matter how allegedly just the cause, the willful maiming, rape and murder of noncombatants is always a crime. The ends can never justify the means. Regarding the deaths of many Palestinian Arab civilians occasioned by Israeli bombardments, these harms are not witting violations of the law of war. They represent the wholly unintentional result of necessary counter-terrorist operations, not of “criminal intent.” In Gaza, such harms are the collateral outcome of Hamas’ resort to “human shields.” The technical name for this ongoing Islamist crime is “perfidy.”
Whenever Hamas or other Palestinian terrorists claim the right to “any means necessary,” they intend to deceive. Even if their corollary claims of “national self-determination” were in some way reasonable, there would still remain distinctly tangible limits on permissible targets and legitimate weapons.
Any calls to “Free Palestine from the River to the Sea” are exterminatory on their face. In law, such calls are always an expression of “intent to commit genocide.” Reciprocally, whatever one hears from so-called protestors, Israel-inflicted harms upon perfidy-shielded Palestinian Arab populations have nothing to do with genocide. These harms remain the unavoidable correlates of Israel’s inextinguishable right to self-preservation.
International law has precise form and content. It cannot be invented and reinvented by terror groups or by aspiring states (here, “Palestine”) to accommodate narrow geo-strategic interests. Back on November 29, 2012, the Palestinian Authority (PA) was upgraded by the U.N. General Assembly to the status of a “nonmember observer state,” but the PA subsequently declared itself nonexistent.

CHAPTER 33: Weaponizing Children: The Gospel of Yuval Harari by Linda Goudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is*
August 25, 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.
Klaus Schwab and fellow members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) embrace a vision for the future that is difficult to fully grasp, but it is essential that people attempt to do just that. Yuval Harari, Israeli historian, professor, and darling of the WEF, provides a glimpse of that future and of Humanity 2.0 in his books and lectures.
Schwab and Harari embrace globalism’s supremacist replacement ideology as an evolutionary inevitability, in the same way Marx and Engels believed it was a historical inevitability that a socialist revolution would overturn and replace capitalism.
The term historical inevitability was introduced by philosopher Isaiah Berlin in his lecture “Historical Inevitability,”[i]delivered on May 12, 1953, at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Berlin argued against historical inevitability because the view that “the world has a direction” requires deterministic laws. Berlin considered determinism implausible because it requires radical changes in people’s “moral and psychological categories.”
Berlin’s view does not dissuade the humanitarian hucksters at the WEF from hawking globalism’s Unistate and Humanity 2.0, the artificial expediting of the evolutionary process, as historical and evolutionary inevitabilities. In their arrogance, globalist supremacists insist that their ideology is superior to any other ideology or social infrastructure, and will inevitably dominate the world. It is a very convenient philosophy of life for megalomaniacs and sociopaths.
Let’s examine Yuval Harari’s views in his own words, delivered at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, January 24, 2020:[ii]
Man Hilariously Roasts Clueless DNC Attendees, Including Big-Name Politicians, to Their Face with Provocative Questions and Their Responses are Quite Telling (VIDEO 20:00) By Cullen Linebarger
Aug. 24, 2024 9:45 am = One brave individual decided to venture into the DNC Convention sewer in Chicago and brutally troll the delegates with the pressing questions that needed to be asked.
A man affiliated with the YouTube channel No Cap on God met with several prominent attendees this week and recorded his encounters on both X and YouTube. Some of the “famous” people he met up with included lead Trump persecutor New York Attorney General Letitia James, Senator Raphael Warnock (R-GA), Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), former CNN propagandist Chris “Fredo” Cuomo, and Star Trek filmmaker J.J. Abrams.
The people the infiltrator spoke with had no clue they were being made fun of, and some even treated him like a member of the Democratic family.
He asked them a series of questions while occasionally saying, “That is so brat,” in the video to poke fun at them. For context, the Kamala Harris campaign has fully embraced the TikTok “BRAT” theme to make her more relatable to young Americans, particularly on TikTok. Singer Charli XCX coined the new slang in her album “Brat” and described it as “You’re that girl who is a bit messy and loves to party and maybe says dumb things sometimes. She’s honest, blunt, and a little bit volatile. That’s Brat.”
She went on to describe Harris as someone perfectly resembling “brat”, thus contributing to her image makeover.
The provocative questions the man asked included:
“Would you rather have democracy or access to abortion?”
“Can we please, this year, be so brat to have a tax rate for rich white men?
“Who are the cuties in the Democratic party who are speaking?”
“Child tax credits for dogs?
“Who has the bigger lightsaber, Donald Trump or Joe Biden?”
“Give me your best pick-up line.”
As one will see below, their responses to these pressing questions are VERY telling.
We Are Out of Our Minds Sean Fitzpatrick
America is growing increasingly comfortable with the unaccountable and the irrational. Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech was just another piece in that scattered puzzle that threatens to be our national destiny.
August 24, 2024 – When Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for President of the United States on Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention, she wore black. Many were expecting her to sport the white pants suit that Hillary Clinton made “a thing” to signify the women’s suffrage movement as she attempted, like a bird against an office window, to break that “highest, hardest glass ceiling.” Many women in the crowd wore white for just this reason.
But Harris wore black, with square shoulders, wide lapels, and velvet bow, in a look that was far from the theme of joy shouted from the DNC rooftops. It was a somber suit, even a sinister one—which gets at the darkness of the political theater-of-the-bizarre unfolding in the United States. Harris’s suit was mournful, despite her now-signature “brat” grin. It was funereal, vampiric. And, yes, I just said vampiric, for this is a candidate and a campaign that is out for blood—and America has lost its collective mind to the point of voting for blood drinkers while hailing them as champions of freedom.
Kamala Harris is fond of beginning sentences with, “Let me be clear.” The one thing that is not clear about her is how she (and we) got here. What has Kamala Harris done to win such praise, to be hyped as one of the most qualified people to run for president in history? It just doesn’t add up when you consider her record of unpopularity, incompetency, and awkwardness. Her meteoric rise is totally fabricated, totally forced, and totally fake. While Harris and Walz relentlessly call Trump and Vance “weird,” what’s weird is all on their side.
But if weird is a watchword of this election, let’s remember the etymological Anglo-Saxon origin of that word: “wyrd,” meaning, fate. There is something like fate in this, and we might also recall Thomas Jefferson’s adage, the government you elect is the government you deserve. While the mind-bending contradictions are flying fast and furiously, America is growing increasingly comfortable with the unaccountable and the irrational. Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech was just another piece in that scattered puzzle that threatens to be our national destiny.
