America Last: U.S. Moves Closer to Direct War with Russia JOHN LEAKE
The MIC has apparently flipped President Trump. His new sanctions against Russia are a tacit revocation of his campaign promise to end proxy war against Russia. False Flag Watch now in effect.
OCT 23, 2025
The cancelled meeting with Putin in Budapest—and the announcement of new U.S. sanctions against Russian oil companies—indicate that the U.S. is now moving closer to direct war with Russia.
Americans should remember that the United States has never won a major war on its own. The last notable U.S. victory was the Spanish-American War of 1898, which resulted in the U.S. gaining control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
During World War II, the Russians did most of the fighting against Nazi Germany. The U.S. did not land soldiers on the European mainland until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. By then the Russians had already been engaged titanic battles with the German Wehrmacht for two years.
Even after the D-Day invasion, 157 German divisions remained on the Eastern Front, fighting the Russians, with only 58 German divisions deployed to the Western Front and 26 divisions deployed to Italy. In early 1945, even more German divisions were moved to the Eastern Front to try to stop the Red Army’s advance towards Berlin.
Battle of Kursk between Russian and German forces in southwestern Russia in 1943
American soldiers fought bravely in Italy and France, and fighting was especially hot in the latter country against highly experienced Wehrmacht divisions. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the Russians did most of the fighting.
The American people and their foolish leaders have been living in a “Team America” fantasyland for far too long. War against Russia would be a total calamity and could result in the end of all life on earth. We urge President Trump to stop listening to the deranged imbecile hawks who have been doggedly wrong about every military adventure abroad since President Johnson got us into Vietnam in 1965.
That conflict began with the false flag Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. Following Trump’s new sanctions against Russia, a False Flag Watch is now in effect. Look for phony news reports about Russian incursions into NATO territory to seemingly justify invocation of NATO’s collective defense clause.
We hope that President Trump understands that none of his good works will amount to anything if we go to war with Russia.
Acquiescence Again: Netanyahu, the ‘Revitalized’ PA, and the Betrayal of Judea and Samaria Mordechai Sones
As Washington advances its ‘revitalized PA’ plan, Netanyahu’s avoidance signals a familiar capitulation—and a new security betrayal in Judea and Samaria
October 23, 2025
In the theater of Israeli politics, the script is agonizingly familiar. While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offers tedious declarations of “total victory,” American officials, speaking to Ynet, detail a completely different plan. The U.S. is actively “pressing” Netanyahu on his “day after” plan, a plan Washington has already drafted: a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority must take control of Gaza.
Contents
The Betrayal of Judea and Samaria
The American “frustration,” as the report terms it, is not that Netanyahu is fighting them on this. It is that he is “avoiding discussions” entirely. U.S. officials say they worry Israel is “sleepwalking” into an “untenable occupation.”
But as our previous analysis, Was Binyamin Netanyahu ‘Born Pregnant’? established, this behavior is not “sleepwalking.” It is the classic signature of an “irreversibly committed” leader. It is the Wye River Memorandum playbook. Netanyahu is not defying the U.S. plan; he is enabling it by “avoiding” a confrontation. He is stalling until the moment of capitulation arrives, at which point he will face the Israeli public, shrug, and deploy his infamous justification: “We had no choice.”
The Washington Script
This U.S. plan for a “revitalized PA” is not an isolated idea. It is the non-negotiable next phase of a U.S. regional architecture that was deceptively pushed during the Trump administration. As previously detailed, the Abraham Accords were never an organic, Israeli-led peace. They were a glossy “cookbook” designed to lock Israel into a U.S-led Sunni alliance to confront Iran.
That project—America’s project—is incomplete. To solidify that alliance, Washington demands a “solution” to the Palestinian issue. That solution, as they are now making clear, is the “revitalized PA.” Netanyahu’s “red lines” of today—”total victory,” “no PA”—are the “no release of terrorists with blood on their hands” of 1998. They are a public-facing negotiating position intended to placate the base, but they are not the script.
The Betrayal of Judea and Samaria
The true cost of this inevitable capitulation is not just in Gaza; it is a direct and calculated reduction of security in Israel’s heartland. A “revitalized” Palestinian Authority is not a new entity. It is the same organization that the Ariel Center for Policy Research (ACPR) warned about in the 1990s—an entity that, under Netanyahu’s watch, was allowed to swell to 40,000 armed men in preparation for a “first-strike.”
To empower this “revitalized” PA is to actively install a hostile armed force in Judea and Samaria, funded by Washington and endorsed by the Sunni states. It is the Hebron Accords playbook on a terrifying new scale. Netanyahu’s “avoidance” is not just a political maneuver; it is a “studied policy of acquiescence” to the re-arming of the very entity that has sworn to Israel’s destruction.
The Nationalist Sideshow
Against this backdrop of strategic capitulation, the “red lines” from nationalist ministers sound increasingly hollow. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich recently declared, “The ‘day after’ in Gaza will be under full Israeli control… There will be no ‘revitalized’ Palestinian Authority.”
It is a powerful, sovereign-minded position. It is also, in context, a tragic performance. As Arutz Sheva reported, both Smotrich and Minister Ben-Gvir were sidelined from the true center of power before the war began, having been removed from the relevant security cabinet. They are not in the War Cabinet that matters.
Their presence in the government serves a single, crucial purpose for the Prime Minister: they are the “nationalist” cover. They are unwitting actors, providing the illusion of a right-wing anchor, which allows Netanyahu to pretend he is being pulled to the right, even as the American-led process quietly pulls him toward its pre-determined center. Smotrich’s role is to issue sovereign threats from a ministry that has no control over the war’s outcome, distracting the public while the real decisions are “avoided” in the Prime Minister’s office.
The current situation, therefore, is not a genuine struggle between Israeli sovereignty and American pressure. It is a performance. We are watching the familiar chasm between the public-facing rhetoric and the quiet, steady progress of the American script.
Smotrich’s defiance is noise. Netanyahu’s “avoidance” is the signal. It is the sound of a leader, long ago rendered “pregnant,” waiting for the inevitable moment to acquiesce.
Was Binyamin Netanyahu ‘Born Pregnant’? Mordechai Sones
Is the Prime Minister’s political career his own, or was he irreversibly committed to an American-led script from the very beginning?
October 23, 2025
In his 1978 memoir, In Search of Enemies, former CIA station chief John Stockwell offered a sickening insight into the agency’s operational doctrine. He described a plan to compromise Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, who had publicly supported an embargo against shipping arms to Angola. The CIA’s plan, Stockwell wrote, was to entice Kaunda into permitting just one secret arms shipment.
Contents
“It was felt that if one planeload of arms could be introduced through Zambia, with Kaunda’s permission, he would be irreversibly committed,” Stockwell explained. The agency had a term for this state of strategic entrapment. “‘Pregnant’ we said in CIA headquarters.”
The jargon is cold, a product of a bureaucratic culture that, as some critics have noted, views moral compromise as a tactical tool. To be “born pregnant” is to be irreversibly complicit, your future actions dictated by a past event you cannot afford to have exposed.
This American modus operandi provides a stark, unsettling lens through which to re-examine the career of Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu. For decades, Netanyahu has defined Israeli politics, building a global brand as the ultimate Jewish nationalist, a fierce defender of Israeli sovereignty, and the only leader capable of saying “no” to Washington.
But this public persona has always coexisted with a starkly contradictory record: a history of stunning political capitulations, land concessions that violated his own “red lines,” and a pattern of acquiescence to American demands, often at moments of his greatest political strength. This chasm between rhetoric and action has fueled a persistent, unsettling question, one that his critics have asked from the very beginning: Is Binyamin Netanyahu an English-speaking Israeli, or is he, in terms of his loyalties and practical actions, a Hebrew-speaking American?
A ‘Man Without a Past’
Today, Netanyahu is a fixture of Israeli life, a political titan synonymous with the state itself. It is difficult, then, to recall the furor that greeted his first election in 1996. He was, to many, an outsider—an American-accented, media-savvy consultant who had rocketed to the top, bypassing the traditional military and political hierarchies.
Just weeks after his victory, on June 21, 1996, the Jerusalem-based weekly Kol Ha’ir published a multi-page investigation that landed like a grenade in the new prime minister’s office. The article, titled “A Man Without a Past,” reported that Netanyahu’s U.S. Social Security file was “חסוי” (secret/classified). This classification, the paper alleged, was of a type reserved for employees of U.S. federal agencies.
The report went further. It claimed the file linked the name “Binyamin Netanyahu” to two others: “John J. Sullivan” and “John J. Sullivan Jr.” The paper, which had investigated his years in the U.S., including his time at the Boston Consulting Group where he was known as “Ben Nitay,” put the question bluntly: “Who are you, Mr. Netanyahu? … Is it all the same person? … Never was the history of an Israeli prime minister so secretive.”
The story exploded. On July 5, 1996, Deseret News, syndicating a report from the New York Times News Service, covered the growing scandal under the headline, “Israel wants ‘real’ Netanyahu to please stand up.” It confirmed that the Kol Ha’ir report had “prompted a parliamentary question this week from Labor Party legislator Ephraim Sneh.”
On the floor of the Knesset, Sneh (other accounts name different MKs, but the question was officially asked) demanded answers. According to Knesset protocol records and contemporary reports, the query was direct: “Why is this file classified? Did he ever work for the U.S. government? Did he serve as an informant for any U.S. government authority?”
The Prime Minister’s Office flatly denied the allegations. A spokesman, Charli Sitbon, called the report “groundless” and “a complete lie,” attributing the name “Ben Nitay” to a simple, Hebraized version of his father’s pen name, Nitai, which was easier for Americans to pronounce. The “John J. Sullivan” connection was dismissed as fabrication.
Political firebrand and rival Uri Avnery seized on a related issue: Netanyahu’s U.S. citizenship. Netanyahu, who was born in Israel but grew up and was educated in the U.S., had held American citizenship. While he claimed to have relinquished it as required by law, Avnery, writing in the Maariv daily, pointed out that no proof had ever been made public. “If he was an American citizen when elected prime minister,” Avnery wrote, “his election is null and void.”
The Prime Minister’s Office flatly denied the allegations, and with no smoking gun, the immediate furor subsided. But the questions lingered, unresolved. The new Prime Minister was now in a uniquely vulnerable position. With his loyalty and secret American past the subject of unresolved parliamentary questions and media speculation, he was about to enter his first major negotiation—the Hebron Accords—with the Clinton administration, the very power he was being accused of serving.
The Great Acquiescence
Had the “Man Without a Past” scandal been an isolated incident, it might have remained a historical footnote. But it was followed almost immediately by a pattern of political behavior that baffled his own right-wing base and seemed to confirm his critics’ deepest suspicions.
Netanyahu had won the 1996 election, in large part, by campaigning ferociously against the Oslo Accords, which he and his Likud party had branded as a catastrophic, criminal concession to terrorism. His supporters expected him to halt the process, to reverse the tide. Instead, he did the opposite.
In January 1997, Netanyahu signed the Hebron Accords. This agreement, brokered by President Bill Clinton’s administration, did what his nationalist voters considered unthinkable: it handed over 80 percent of the ancient Jewish holy city (H1) to the full civil and police control of Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Authority.
The Israeli presence was reduced to a small, heavily guarded enclave (H2). This area included the volatile Abu Sneneh neighborhood, which remained under Israeli security control but PA civil control. From that very neighborhood, on March 26, 2001, a Palestinian sniper would aim his rifle at the Jewish settlement and murder 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass. For Netanyahu’s critics on the right, the line from the 1997 capitulation to the 2001 murder was a direct result of his first major act of irreversible commitment.
The Hebron Accords were just the beginning. In October 1998, Netanyahu was summoned by President Clinton to the Wye River Plantation in Maryland, alongside his defense minister, Ariel Sharon. His right-wing government was already fragile, and he went to Wye with a list of publicly declared “red lines.” He assured his constituency there would be no more land concessions without full Palestinian reciprocity on security, and, most critically, no release of Palestinian prisoners with “blood on their hands.”
After nine days of intense American pressure, the Sabbath passed over Israel. Israelis, turning on their radios and televisions after Shabbat, were met with a sense of shock and horror. Netanyahu had capitulated.
The Wye River Memorandum committed Israel to another 13 percent “further redeployment” from Judea and Samaria. More stunningly, it mandated the release of 750 Palestinian prisoners. While Netanyahu’s team argued the text gave them discretion to withhold murderers, the American-brokered reality was that terrorists with blood on their hands were, in fact, included in the releases.
Netanyahu returned to Israel to find his coalition, and his nationalist credibility, in ruins. His justification, offered to a furious public, became infamous: “We had no choice.”
For those watching, it was the classic defense of a leader who, being “pregnant,” truly has no other choice.
The ‘Mr. Security’ Paradox
The gap between Netanyahu’s nationalist rhetoric and his policy of capitulation was not limited to political deal-making. For contemporary security analysts, his actions constituted a national security catastrophe in the making.
In a scathing position paper (#107) from the Ariel Center for Policy Research, The Acquiescence of the Israel Government in Palestinian Authority First Strike Preparations in Judea and Samaria,” this author systematically dismantled the Prime Minister’s “Mr. Security” persona. The paper argued that the government was actively misleading the public, pairing “rhetorical ‘toughness’” with a “studied policy of acquiescence” to a massive, illegal Palestinian military buildup.
Citing intelligence sources, the paper detailed a Palestinian Authority that had swelled to 40,000 armed men—tens of thousands beyond what the Oslo Accords permitted. More alarmingly, this was not a “police force” to manage civil order; it was an army-in-training. The paper documented its acquisition of forbidden heavy machine guns, mortars, and anti-tank missiles, and its construction of fortified offensive positions, all in preparation for a “first-strike” against Israel.
The paper’s most damning charge was not that Yasser Arafat was building this army, but that the Netanyahu government knew every detail and was consciously letting it happen. This deliberate inaction, this “studied policy of acquiescence,” represented another step in an irreversible commitment, leaving Israel dangerously exposed while its leader maintained a public facade of toughness.
The Modern Vassal
This pattern of rhetorical nationalism concealing a policy of American-aligned acquiescence did not end with Netanyahu’s first term. It has, his critics argue, defined his entire career.
The Abraham Accords, widely hailed as his greatest foreign policy triumph, are seen by some analysts not as a sovereign Israeli achievement, but as a thoroughly American-led project. In this view, the accords were a strategic “trap,” designed by Washington to lock Israel into a formal Sunni-Arab alliance, serving America’s goal of creating a unified front against Iran. The lavish “Abraham Accords Cookbook,” for all its celebratory gloss, became a symbol of a deal that served Washington’s interests first.
This brings the question of sovereignty to the present day. In the wake of the October 7, 2023, catastrophe, Israel has witnessed an unprecedented American military presence on its soil. While U.S. logistics and air defense support are not new, the deployment of senior American military advisors, including special operations generals, to consult on Gaza operations has triggered alarm.
Recent videos and reports have raised concerns that Israel has been reduced to a “vassal state,” unable to act decisively in its own defense—from Gaza to Lebanon—without an American “green light.” Netanyahu’s office has been forced to issue unconvincing denials, such as a recent one claiming “we are not in a situation where U.S. troops will enter Gaza,” a statement that narrowly sidestepped the larger question of American control over Israeli war policy.
This is the ultimate paradox of Binyamin Netanyahu. He is the man who speaks of Jewish destiny and sovereign power, yet his record is one of serial capitulation. He is the man who lectures the world on Israeli self-reliance, yet he has, in the view of his critics, overseen the deepest penetration of American military and political influence in Israel’s history.
Was the 1996 “man without a past” allegation just a bizarre, forgotten smear? Or was it an early warning sign? Is Binyamin Netanyahu the masterful politician, the ultimate survivor, navigating impossible pressures as his supporters claim?
Or, to return to the cold jargon of the CIA, was the man who arrived from America in the 1970s as “Ben Nitay” already “born pregnant”—a leader whose entire career was committed to a script written in Washington, a Hebrew-speaking nationalist whose actions would ultimately serve another’s interests? The question, once whispered on the fringes, now defines the central crisis of Israeli sovereignty.

OCT 22, 2025 TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
Many people wonder how in the world the planet got so crazy and woke, so fast, including me. This newsletter is a little complicated and brings in many issues – but I think it’s important to see how all the parts work together and how so many people have been conned along the way.
I know there are lots of historical precedents to woke concepts like transgenderism, DEI, ESG and climate change, but, as usual, we can follow the money to see how it all exploded so quickly in just the past few years. And when we do that, we can pretty much pin much of the blame on this guy: Larry Fink, the atheist CEO of BlackRock – and I can prove it to you by using his OWN words against him.
Larry Fink, who also serves on the board of the WEF, almost single-handedly blackmailed the entire corporate world to turn WOKE over a few years – or BlackRock would defund them and destroy them. BlackRock is the investment arm of the Puppet Masters and terrorists behind the Red-Green axis.
The puppet masters TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS DECEMBER 11, 2024
Many people have asked me to explain who I think are the puppet masters behind all the chaos in the world. Many think they know but can’t really articulate it for their friends. Many point their fingers to one group or another – but it’s much much more complicated than that. Read full story
Red-Green Axis TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS OCT 5
If you haven’t figured it out yet – Communist China & Iran-Qatar (backed by the NWO and the UN) want Islamo-Communism to rule America and for our country to be divided, sick and weak. Their foot soldiers are the enemy within.
BlackRock controls more than $12.5 trillion in assets worldwide making it the world’s largest asset manager by far. This figure exceeds the GDP of most countries, except the United States and Communist China.
BlackRock and their partners also invest and direct the money for many of the world’s Puppet Masters – Communist China – and the so-called New World Order – and their plans for a One World Currency that they control.
BlackRock holds significant shares in thousands of companies globally (including most of the fake news) and is the largest shareholder in dozens of major multi-national firms. BlackRock represents roughly a quarter of the world’s total financial assets considered “in circulation” by some estimates.
Every year, Larry Fink and BlackRock issue letters to CEOs and global investors and basically TELL THEM WHAT TO DO with their corporations, their countries and their money – OR ELSE.
In 2025, as usual, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink released his annual Chairman’s Letter to Investors. Compared to previous letters in 2018 and 2022, BlackRock completely omitted demands in the 2025 letter that countries and corporations succumb to BlackRock’s WOKE ESG policies if they want to survive.
BlackRock’s 2025 letter was a major pivot in strategy that the fake news did NOT even report on it – which is why I am. I’ve written much about this in the past (and include links to those articles in red in this post) but BlackRock’s 2025 letter is a clear sign they have admitted defeat over WOKE and are moving on to their next scam.
To remind you, ESG is a type of investing where non-financial factors are considered when making investment choices. ESG has grown significantly over the past few years following a push from the United Nations – remember, the UN was basically created by Joseph Stalin and his Communist pals in Russia and China. More on that later.
In a very short time, ESG became an unregulated staple of corporate financial reporting. BlackRock was an early acceptor and advocate for ESG, with Fink leading the charge. As conservatives began pushing back on ESG, criticism of BlackRock and Fink quickly escalated.
In his latest Chairman’s Letter to Investors, Fink avoided the phrase ESG – as it had become too political. Instead of ESG and DEI – he is now opting instead for terms like stakeholder capitalism, sustainable investing, energy pragmatism, energy security, democratization of private markets and climate investing.
Fink said that there is a need for “energy security” spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In other words – BlackRock wants war in Ukraine (and everywhere else) – because they can use it to justify the need for “energy security” and private investment for “infrastructure” and AI projects all over the world.
BlackRock claims that wars and instability create the narrative for why trillions need to be spent THROUGH BlackRock. BlackRock benefits no matter which side wins — they sell the investment products that “solve” the problem.
Larry Fink’s 2025 investor letter also pushes the democratization of private markets, arguing that access to assets like data centers, private credit, power grids, and infrastructure should expand beyond institutions to include retail investors, particularly within 401(k)s. Fink is calling his new guidance the “democratization of investing” using globalization and capital markets. Fink says that the need for new infrastructure investment around the world will be HUGE and he wants private investors, like you and me, to be a part of it. Fink says that by 2040, the global demand for new infrastructure investment is $68 trillion.
Larry Fink is saying BlackRock wants to move away from the term ESG but still push big themes like sustainability and energy security. He sees wars and global instability as justification for more reliable energy and infrastructure. Fink said that means trillions in spending worldwide—the biggest investment opportunity of the next 15 years. And instead of keeping it just for big Wall Street players, he wants to let everyday investors (through their 401(k)s, for example) buy into these large-scale projects. Isn’t that special? Fink is so kind – always thinking of us! NOT.
This isn’t about values; it’s about de-risking BlackRock’s brand while keeping the same investment agenda.
- The pitch: let everyday investors (through 401(k)s or retirement accounts) buy into private assets (infrastructure, private credit, etc.) that used to be for the wealthy only.
- Reality: private assets are harder to value, less liquid, and more opaque than public stocks. That means more risk for retail investors, less accountability for big firms.
Democratization here really means “shifting risk from big institutions onto ordinary people’s retirement savings” while BlackRock collects management fees either way. Calling it a “need” is a sales tactic. The real goal: persuade governments and individuals to funnel money into BlackRock-managed assets under the guise of progress. It’s Wall Street’s classic playbook — turn global instability and genuine human needs (energy, infrastructure) into investment narratives, then channel both government money and individuals’ savings into products that enrich asset managers.
Citizens are locked in on both sides — through taxation (public subsidies) and retirement savings (private contributions). BlackRock positions itself as the trusted “neutral allocator,” but in reality, it becomes the power broker directing global capital flows.
What most people don’t realize is that Trump’s tariffs (and his entire plan based on economic protectionism for We the People) can, in theory, protect us from predators like BlackRock and act as a buffer between ordinary people and the risks of globalization-driven finance.
Without tariffs: people’s retirement savings (401ks, pensions) are tied to globally exposed private investments (ports in Africa, pipelines in Europe, Asian data centers). If instability hits, citizens bear that risk.
This is the real reason that BlackRock, the Communists, the open-border Koch Libertarians and the globalists hate tariffs – because it limits their ability to STEAL MORE OF OUR MONEY.
For proof, compare that to what Fink and BlackRock said in 2018 and 2022. It’s a complete pivot away from DEI, transgenderism and climate change – but the end result is the same. More money for BlackRock – less money and MORE RISK for you and me.
BLACKROCK 2018: Society is demanding that companies, both public and private, serve a social purpose. To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society. Companies must benefit all of their stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities in which they operate.
In the $1.7 trillion in active funds we manage, BlackRock can choose to sell the securities of a company if we are doubtful about its strategic direction or long-term growth. To sustain financial performance, however, you must also understand the societal impact of your business.
We also will continue to emphasize the importance of a diverse board. Boards with a diverse mix of genders, ethnicities, career experiences, and ways of thinking have, as a result, a more diverse and aware mindset. A company’s ability to manage environmental, social, and governance matters demonstrates the leadership and good governance that is so essential to sustainable growth.
Companies must ask themselves: What role do we play in the community? How are we managing our impact on the environment? Are we working to create a diverse workforce? Are we adapting to technological change?
BLACKROCK 2022: Stakeholder capitalism is not about politics. It is not a social or ideological agenda. It is not “woke.” It is capitalism, driven by mutually beneficial relationships between you and the employees, customers, suppliers, and communities your company relies on to prosper. This is the power of capitalism.
It is through effective stakeholder capitalism that capital is efficiently allocated, companies achieve durable profitability, and value is created and sustained over the long-term.
At the foundation of capitalism is the process of constant reinvention – how companies must continually evolve as the world around them changes or risk being replaced by new competitors.
Political activists, or the media, may politicize things your company does. They may hijack your brand to advance their own agendas. In this environment, facts themselves are frequently in dispute, but businesses have an opportunity to lead. Employees are increasingly looking to their employer as the most trusted, competent, and ethical source of information – more so than government, the media, and NGOs.
That is why your voice is more important than ever. It’s never been more essential for CEOs to have a consistent voice, a clear purpose, a coherent strategy, and a long-term view. Your company’s purpose is its north star in this tumultuous environment. The stakeholders your company relies upon to deliver profits for shareholders need to hear directly from you – to be engaged and inspired by you. They don’t want to hear us, as CEOs, opine on every issue of the day, but they do need to know where we stand on the societal issues intrinsic to our companies’ long-term success.
Putting your company’s purpose at the foundation of your relationships with your stakeholders is critical to long-term success. Employees need to understand and connect with your purpose; and when they do, they can be your staunchest advocates. Customers want to see and hear what you stand for as they increasingly look to do business with companies that share their values.
As companies rebuild themselves coming out of the pandemic, CEOs face a profoundly different paradigm than we are used to. Companies expected workers to come to the office five days a week. Mental health was rarely discussed in the workplace. And wages for those on low and middle incomes barely grew. That world is gone.
CEOs need to be asking themselves whether they are creating an environment that helps them compete for talent. At BlackRock we are doing the same: working with our own employees to navigate this new world of work.
The pandemic also shone a light on issues like racial equity, childcare, and mental health – and revealed the gap between generational expectations at work. These themes are now center stage for CEOs, who must be thoughtful about how they use their voice and connect on social issues important to their employees. How is your company’s culture adapting to this new world?
Capital markets have allowed companies and countries to flourish. But access to capital is not a right. It is a privilege. And the duty to attract that capital in a responsible and sustainable way lies with you.
Most stakeholders – from shareholders, to employees, to customers, to communities, and regulators – now expect companies to play a role in decarbonizing the global economy. It’s been two years since I wrote that climate risk is investment risk. And in that short period, we have seen a tectonic shift of capital. Sustainable investments have now reached $4 trillion. Actions and ambitions towards decarbonization have also increased. This is just the beginning. Every company and every industry will be transformed by the transition to a net zero world. The question is, will you lead, or will you be led?
I believe the decarbonizing of the global economy is going to create the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. How are you preparing for and participating in the net zero transition? As your industry gets transformed by the energy transition, will you go the way of the dodo, or will you be a phoenix?
We focus on sustainability not because we’re environmentalists, but because we are capitalists and fiduciaries to our clients. As part of that focus, we are asking companies to set short-, medium-, and long-term targets for greenhouse gas reductions. Governments and companies must ensure that people continue to have access to reliable and affordable energy sources.
As stewards of our clients’ capital, we also ask businesses to demonstrate how they’re going to deliver on their responsibility to shareholders, including through sound environmental, social, and governance practices (ESG) and policies.”
WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME WHO THEY ARE – I LISTEN.
In 2025, BlackRock is showing by their actions that they are moving away from Communist China in many sectors, like energy and ESG, but they still support their banks, markets, military and nuclear investments! BlackRock holds BIG stakes in Chinese firms tied to the Chinese military (PLA) and nuclear weapons programs.
Remember, BlackRock was invited by the CCP to be the first foreign company to sell mutual fund investments to Chinese investors and for years BlackRock has poured its clients’ money into Chinese investments.
Many people try to tie Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, to Israel but Larry Fink invests in atheist countries like Communist China – and stands with the UN – these are nations that reject Israel and God – just like Soros.
Larry Fink and his company, BlackRock, also have a VERY STRONG relationship with the United Nations, particularly concerning WOKE initiatives. Why would that be? The UN was created by atheists and is basically LUCIFERIAN. It is anti-God.
Most people don’t realize that the ATHEIST Communists of the Soviet Union, led by Joseph Stalin, basically CREATED the UN after World War II and was its original member. The UN charter was ratified by the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Communist China.
“This is Stalin’s show.”
The Soviet Union (USSR) was an original member of the UN, signing the charter on October 24, 1945, which officially brought the organization into existence. The Soviet Union had a unique arrangement where both it and two of its constituent republics, the Ukrainian SSR and the Byelorussian SSR, were founding members. This gave the USSR three seats in the new organization.
The Soviet Union was a permanent member of the UN Security Council, a structure that was partly designed by the Soviets to promote great power unity. The USSR, and later its successor, the Russian Federation, has used its veto power frequently since the UN’s inception.
Initially, the Soviet Union supported the establishment of Israel. The Soviets saw Israel as a way to weaken Great Britain’s colonial presence in the Middle East. The Soviet attitude changed completely after it became clear that Israel was not going to become a socialist ally and was instead aligning with the West.
The USSR began to focus on gaining influence with Arab states, which were more strategically important due to their oil reserves and control of the Suez Canal. The Soviets made a strategic shift in propaganda and started pushing the term “anti-Zionism” to create hatred toward Israel.
The Soviets had a long history of state-sanctioned antisemitism, which was repackaged as anti-Zionism for international consumption. Communist China joined the Soviet Union in their push against Israel when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was officially seated at the United Nations in October 1971. Once at the UN, the PRC supported UN General Assembly Resolution 3379, which equated Zionism with racism. This was a key part of the Soviet bloc’s anti-Israel political agenda at the time.
Under the leadership of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, the two countries have grown closer today, bound by a shared desire to counter U.S. power and reshape the international order. Beijing and Moscow often align their voting at the United Nations, frequently using their veto power together to thwart U.S. diplomatic initiatives. They also coordinate within multilateral forums like the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to promote a multi-polar world order and challenge Western influence.
And, Larry Fink, of BlackRock, stands with the UN (atheist) and with Communist China (atheist) – against Israel. So, basically Larry Fink and BlackRock are funding the atheist Communists – to hate Israel – and so is the UN.
Fink has admitted many times that Communist China is the money behind Russia’s war in Ukraine. Well, if BlackRock is invested in Communist China – that makes BlackRock the real funder behind the scenes, correct? Follow the money.
BlackRock is still significantly invested in Chinese markets, including companies and banks that are linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP.) BlackRock has joint ventures with CCP-controlled financial institutions, most notably forming a partnership with state-owned China Construction Bank (CCB), one of China’s biggest banks. This alliance has given BlackRock deeper access to China’s domestic asset management market, valued at roughly $9 trillion. BlackRock wants to manage the CCP’s money and earn fees from it. That’s obvious.
BTW – BlackRock ALSO benefits from Communist China’s recent push to drive up gold prices, under the guise of BRICS – by buying so much gold lately – which can improve the value of BlackRock’s balance sheets of the firm’s businesses and clients. Many think gold is rising only due to concerns about the dollar – but I believe it is also rising as an investment gimmick to adjust the balance sheets of BlackRock, the US and the CCP. I have no doubt that BlackRock is INSTRUCTING the CCP to buy gold – to drive up the price – for this very reason.
I also have no doubt that Trump used fear of “gold” tariffs to bring London’s massive gold supply to America in 2025 and both he and Bessent plan to remonetize the gold on America’s balance sheet to pay off some debt. There is a huge geopolitical game going on behind the scenes and as Trump said earlier this year: “This is the golden age of America and he who owns the gold rules the world.”
The atheists and the Luciferians and the Satanists and the Communists and the Islamists who fund all the war and chaos in the world hate ALL people of faith – that includes God-loving Christians and Jews. This truly is a spiritual war between dark and light. I hope I’ve explained why that couldn’t be more clear.
NOT A PEACE PLAN – IT’S A SUICIDE PACT by Avi Abelow
I want to be clear: I support President Trump. He is one of the best friends Israel has ever had in the White House. (And Kamala Harris would have been a disaster for Israel and the world). But this Gaza deal? It makes no sense. And we have to keep speaking out.
How can anyone, let alone Prime Minister Netanyahu, support a plan that gives countries like Qatar and Turkey a role in rebuilding or running Gaza? These are not neutral players. They are Muslim Brotherhood countries. They fund, support, and protect Hamas. They are ideologically committed to Israel’s destruction and to spreading radical Islam worldwide. And Egypt? It also empowered Hamas, and as a country, has been pouring in tens of thousands of troops and tanks into Sinai, breaking the peace accord with Israel!
Yet according to Trump’s 20-point plan, Turkey, a NATO member in name only and a direct threat to Israel, is expected to send military forces into Gaza as part of an “International Stabilization Force.” Let that sink in. Turkish soldiers, under the command of Erdoğan, who literally threatened war with Israel if we retook Gaza, are supposed to help “stabilize” it? That’s not a peace plan. That’s a suicide pact, with certainty of setting up the next war in Gaza.
Thank God Netanyahu reportedly sees this as a red line. According to journalist Ariel Kahana, Netanyahu yesterday made it clear that he is strongly opposed to Turkish troops entering Gaza.
Netanyahu also is pushing back against Turkish companies getting lucrative reconstruction contracts in Gaza.
Erdoğan wants a foothold in Gaza, and he wants to use Qatari money and Hamas as his proxies. We cannot let that happen. We cannot repeat the mistake of 2005, giving up control of Gaza and hoping for the best. We saw what happened on Oct. 7th when we ignore the 1,400+ years of jihadi Islam.
But here’s where it gets even more confusing: How did Netanyahu agree to this deal in the first place? Did he not know who was involved? And why are Trump, Jared Kushner, and Steven Witkoff still supporting Qatari involvement when even the Saudis, yes, Saudi Arabia, are saying they want no part of the plan if Qatar is included?
That should be the wake-up call.
Saudi Arabia, the country Trump & Netanyahu are trying to bring into the Abraham Accords to create a historic new trade route to India, understands what’s at stake. They don’t want the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of anything!
And U.S. Vice President JD Vance, during his visit to Israel just yesterday, said that Israel has veto power over which countries participate. Good. Let’s use it. Qatar? Veto. Turkey? Veto. Egypt? Veto.
Mark Levin yesterday posted on X that ghe American delegation currently in Israel is pressuring us.
They’re trying to push Israel into accepting this broken deal, even as Hamas continues to violate every term of Phase II. Meanwhile, Qatar’s emir is accusing Israel of war crimes and calling for our destruction, at the same time Qatar is supposed to be helping disarm Hamas?
This isn’t diplomacy. This is delusion.
Thank you to Mark Levin for saying what too many are afraid to say: HAMAS MUST BE DESTROYED AND ONLY ISRAEL HAS THE GUTS TO DO IT. That’s it. That’s the truth.
We cannot “manage” Hamas. We cannot “contain” it. We must eliminate it. And we certainly can’t let its backers in Doha and Ankara rebuild Gaza in their image while we pretend peace is on the way.
Let’s be honest about what’s going on here.
President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu both want quiet in Gaza. Why?
Probably because they know the real storm is coming from the north and east. Hizbullah in Lebanon has rebuilt itself with more weapons than ever. ISIS-linked forces under Jolani in southern Syria are still massacring Christian’s, Druze, Alawites and Kurds. U.S. diplomacy has failed. And Iran is still a threat.
Israel needs to turn its focus to destroying Hizbullah and neutralizing the Jolani/ISIS threat in Syria. But to do that, they need quiet in Gaza. So Netanyahu might have agreed to this bad deal to buy time. But at what cost?
We cannot sell out our long-term security for short-term quiet.
Gaza must stay under full Israeli control. Forever. That’s the only way to prevent another terror buildup from Iran, Qatar, Turkey, or anyone else. We cannot let radical Islamic countries plant their flags in Gaza under the false label of “stabilization” or “reconstruction”, with US protection!
The jihadi Muslims have waited 1,400 years to establish their caliphate. They are patient. They are determined. And many of them are now influencing policy at the highest levels of Western governments, including, sadly, inside the U.S. administration.
We must be smarter. We must be braver. And we must be louder.
Israel will come out of this stronger. I have no doubt.
We will eventually defeat our enemies.
But we must not let the wolves back into Gaza while we do it.
It’s time for clarity. It’s time to finish the job.
And it’s time to say to Trump: Wake up. Qatar is an enemy that is working to also destroy America, as documented in the Muslim Brotherhood documents from the First Twin Towers bombing trial.
Regarding Gaza: NO to Qatar. NO to Turkey. NO to Egypt.
YES to full Israeli sovereignty everywhere we liberate, together with Trump’s emigration plan, to protect Israel and the minorities also threatened by the jihadi Muslims.
That is the only way forward to ensure safety in this Muslim jihadist Middle East.
We are winning this war and we will win!
Am Yisrael Chai!!!

The Unfolding Drama: Hamas, Israel, and Global Politics [10:55] Mark Levin
October 21,2025 The Mark Levin Show
On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, Phase II of the Gaza peace plan is the most challenging due to Hamas, which refuses to disarm or leave Gaza, abuses Palestinians, murders IDF soldiers, and repeatedly violates the ceasefire. Despite warnings from President Trump of potential obliteration, Hamas persists. Qatar’s emir, a major Hamas funder and host to its leaders, accuses Israel of genocide and ceasefire breaches while calling for a Palestinian state. Turkey’s Erdogan similarly harbors Hamas leaders, threatens Israel, and takes provocative actions. The ceasefire must be enforced urgently to stop ongoing murders and torture, and support should be given to Trump if he orders military action against Hamas.

Why Did Kushner & Witkoff BURN BIBI on CBS? [6:44] Yishai Fleisher
Oct 21, 2025
Yishai’s take on the 60 Minutes’ interview with Witkoff and Kushner – with analysis of their view of Israel’s attack on Hamas leadership in Qatar.
Woohoo! Peggy Tierney
OCT 21, 2025 TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
WOOHOO! THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED AND A HUGE DEAL.
President Trump has made a concerted effort to RELEASE Americans on both sides of the aisle (Blagojevich, D’Souza, Arpaio, J6ers, Libby, Santos, Manafort, Ulbrecht, Archer, etc.) who have been wrongly persecuted and maliciously prosecuted by the Obama-Biden DOJ and their henchmen like Andrew Weissmann.
And Trump’s not done yet – he promised to get out Tina Peters and is working on others.
NOW, in that spirit, President Trump HIMSELF is suing the Obama-Biden DOJ for $230 Million for federal investigations that were WRONGLY conducted against him.
These investigations include the Obama-Hillary-Comey engineered Russia Russia hoax, the J6 hoax, the stolen election, the impeachment hoax, the classified documents hoax and on and on and on.
The case would likely hinge on claims such as:
Abuse of process – alleging that federal investigations were used improperly for political purposes.
Malicious prosecution – arguing that the DOJ pursued baseless investigations without probable cause.
Constitutional violations – potentially citing infringements on due process and equal protection rights.
THIS SHOULD BE VERY INTERESTING. I CAN’T WAIT FOR DISCOVERY.
If filed, a $230 Million Federal lawsuit against the DOJ would involve the U.S. Court of Federal Claims or a district court depending on the legal basis. Discovery in such a case could indeed bring forward internal DOJ communications, FBI records, or other classified evidence.
Lindsey Graham may be one of the most hated politicians in South Carolina and the nation, but he keeps winning because he serves Washington’s true masters.
OCT 21, 2025
I have personally never met a conservative from South Carolina who speaks highly of that state’s longtime Republican Senator, Lindsey Graham. Most are not very fond of him.
But somehow, despite being so unpopular, Graham never fails to win reelection. He’s in his fourth six-year term and is favored to win a fifth next year.
President Trump is doing his part to make sure that happens. He’s poised to support Graham at a major fundraiser and golf tournament next month.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports:
“Dubbed the ‘Trump Graham Golf Classic,’ the event will be held at an undisclosed Florida location — likely a Trump property — with an expected lineup of who’s-who from the Republican donor class.”
President Trump has cast himself as anti-establishment and anti-globalist. He branded himself the “Peace President” in his second term and boasts of having “solved” eight wars since taking office nine months ago.
But when Trump’s first in-person campaign fundraiser of the 2026 election cycle is for Lindsey Graham, and his top priority for defeat in Congress is Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, that should give a clue as to where Trump’s true loyalties lie.
The one Trump supports, Graham, is the ultimate establishment guy, a Washington insider if there ever was one, who never met a war he didn’t want to fund, or a country to which he didn’t want to commit U.S. military assets. And the guy Trump rails against and promises to help defeat in the 2026 primary election, Mr. Massie, is dead-set against forever wars, endless deficit spending, and the general growing of government. Trying to make sense of this while still believing the lie about the “Peace President” requires mental gymnastics I’m not willing to engage in.
Upgrade to paid
The upcoming November golf tournament has already been dubbed the “Trump-Graham Classic.” It’s more like a classic sellout of Trump’s base, most of which voted against the forever wars.
In a Truth Social post earlier this year, President Trump enthusiastically endorsed Graham for a fifth term in the Senate. Trump called Graham a “wonderful friend” who loves America and is committed to putting America first.
But the facts speak otherwise.
Lindsey Graham is the leader of the neocon wing of the Republican Party in the Senate, having used his position to work both publicly and privately to sabotage peace efforts in Ukraine; he’s also pushed for or supported military action against Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Greenland and even Mexico.
Graham has admitted in interviews with the mainstream media that the real reason the U.S. is supporting NATO’s proxy war against Russia by backing Ukraine is because the U.S. wants control over Ukraine’s wealth of natural resources. In other words, don’t believe the lies about “fighting for democracy and freedom” in Ukraine and stopping Russia from marching on the whole of Europe. These are just made-up narratives meant to garner public support for funding the continuation of the proxy war.
Following a haul of $1.7 million in the third quarter, Graham’s reelection campaign has total cash on hand of $14.5 million with zero debt. This is by far the largest war chest of any Republican senator up for reelection next year.
So with Trump’s endorsement and that staggering amount of cash, it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to prevent Washington’s supreme swamp creature from winning a fifth term.
Needless to say, Graham is a favorite of the U.S. military-industrial complex and of the powerful globalist elites in Silicon Valley.
Larry Ellison, the founder and chairman of Oracle and a prominent technocrat who brags about how modern AI cameras watching us 24/7 will keep us all on our “best behavior,” gave $1 million in July to Graham’s Security is Strength Super PAC, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Other Graham backers include defense contractors Boeing, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Electric and Raytheon.
Graham has never been married and has no children.
Here’s Tucker Carlson speaking about how fake democracy leads to fake representatives like Lindsey Graham.

Tucker Carlson Lindsey Graham “Warmonger Neocon”
It’s implausible to me how Trump could really be for peace while so energetically throwing his support behind what is one of the most pro-war senators in U.S. history.
Time To Stand Up For Israel [3:08]

Lucky that I’m reading the Daily Shmutz! Otherwise, we’d have no readers! The rest of you are sick and tired of all this Israel shit, and even more so about the News. Can’t say that I blame you. At least you’re reading Child Abuse and Geoengineering. But you’re really missing some good stuff in the Commentary section. That’s my comment. I spare you of my opinion!]
Have we learned nothing from UNIFIL in Lebanon? Avi Abelow
October 20, 2025
That “peacekeeping force” has been a total failure for decades, allowing Hezbollah to rearm, entrench, and threaten Israel with 150,000 rockets. Finally, UNIFIL is being disbanded. And now Netanyahu is being pressured to accept an even worse version in Gaza? An Arab-Muslim internationally approved “peacekeeping” force commanded under CENTCOM, with Qatar and Turkey embedded inside it? That’s not peace; that’s surrender wrapped in diplomacy.
Let’s be clear: no ceasefire, no foreign force, and no international supervision can stop jihad. Only Israel can. The only resolution that ensures Gaza will never again be a launchpad for massacre is 100% Israeli control, complete demilitarization, permanent oversight, and removal of all terror supporting Gazazan via Trump’s emigration plan. Anything less means another October 7th in the future, just under a new name.
And the elephant in the room remains Qatar. The refusal by Trump, and the entire international community, to confront Qatar as the primary sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood is the single greatest obstacle to lasting peace. Until Doha is treated as the enemy it is, every “peace deal” will simply buy time for the next war.
I say this as someone who respects what Trump did for Israel, in this war, in recognizing Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the Abraham Accords etc. but this time, he’s wrong. Dead wrong.
Trump’s instincts to support Israel are being clouded by the same old State Department thinking that sees terrorists as negotiators and sees Israel’s self-defense as aggression. True friends tell hard truths: Qatar is not your friend, and appeasing it will only guarantee more bloodshed.
Israel must refuse to be boxed in by this plan. We must tell our American allies, clearly and unapologetically: only Israel will decide what is necessary for its survival. We will not outsource our security to the UN, to Muslim Brotherhood states, like Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, or to global diplomacy that has repeatedly failed to protect us.
Peace will come, but not through “pauses” that empower killers or through international forces that serve jihadist agendas. Peace will come only through Israel’s total victory, strength, clarity and Trump’s emigration plan for all jihadi Muslims.
Trump’s Gaza deal may have bought quiet for the cameras, but it’s already costing us lives. It’s time to end this illusion of “peace” before we lose more lives.
We are winning this war, and we will win this war, even if we have to suffer the consequences of this bad deal.
The most important process taking place is the wake up process of the Jewish people. We will overcome.
Am Yisrael Chai.

How public education turned against Israel MOSHE PHILLIPS
The “Zinn Education Project” depicts U.S. and Israeli history primarily through the lens of colonialism and racism to shape classroom narratives.
October 20, 2025 JNS
Among the most shocking developments in America in the two years since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks is the surge of anti-Israel sentiment seen in public school classrooms, teachers’ unions and local school board meetings.
Just as news of a ceasefire and hostage release was breaking last week, the New York Post reported that the NEA teachers’ union “sent its roughly 3 million members a sickening email containing a map that erased Israel completely and labeled it as Palestine.”
It was the latest in a long list of outrageous actions against Israel from the public education community. Since the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, a line has been drawn between those who unequivocally condemn terrorism and those who equivocate. Tragically, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)—the two largest teachers’ unions in the United States—have positioned themselves on the wrong side of that line. Through public statements, internal resolutions and targeted votes, these unions have betrayed the moral clarity demanded by such atrocities.
The NEA’s decision at its 2025 Representative Assembly to adopt “New Business Item 39,” which commits the NEA to “not use, endorse or publicize materials from the Anti‑Defamation League” or participate in its programs, cuts off essential tools in combating antisemitism. To reject collaboration largely based on ideological grievance, particularly at a time when antisemitism has been rising since Oct. 7, is indefensible.
Resolution proposals and statements from the NEA and AFT downplay Hamas’s campaign of mass murder, rape and kidnapping, or portray Israeli conduct as morally equivalent to the terrorists they are fighting. The AFT has described an “occupation” when Israel unilaterally left Gaza in 2005 and often frames Israeli actions as unprovoked rather than fully acknowledging the initial terrorist invasion and the ongoing hostage crisis.
In July, the AFT launched the “AFT Disaster Relief Fund for Gaza Humanitarian Aid” without mentioning a single word about the suffering of Israeli families.
Also in July, the NEA made headlines for a new handbook that failed to mention Jews among the 12 million victims of the Holocaust, never mind that 6 million were systematically murdered throughout World War II by the Nazis. Simultaneously, the handbook described the State of Israel’s modern-day establishment in 1948 as a nakba (“disaster” or “catastrophe”) and falsely claimed a “forced, violent displacement and dispossession of at least 750,000 Palestinians.”
Through these votes and statements, the NEA and AFT are not merely failing to provide real moral leadership; they are complicit in advancing narratives that dehumanize and delegitimize. In war, there are always tragedies and complexities. But there are also clear violations of human rights—and choosing ambiguity or selective outrage in the face of those is a choice. It is a morally bankrupt one.
Howard Zinn at the Pathfinder Bookstore in Los Angeles, August 2000. Credit: Slobodandimitrov via Wikimedia Commons.
What is the source of all this anti-Israel extremism? One major influence was Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States. A professor and vocal critic of Israel who died in 2010, he portrayed the Jewish state as a colonial aggressor and routinely framed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in starkly one-sided, anti-Israel terms.
In his 2002 essay “The Others,” he likened Israeli policies toward Palestinians to apartheid and American racism, accusing the Jewish state of “ethnic cleansing” while largely ignoring terrorism and Israel’s security concerns. Zinn’s work is widely assigned in teacher-preparation programs, shaping a worldview in which Western democracies—Israel included—are seen as oppressors by default.
His legacy continues to normalize anti-Israel bias among far too many American educators, contributing to the erosion of moral clarity around antisemitism, terrorism and Israel’s right to self-defense.
Rethinking Schools—a far-left education journal and publishing enterprise—distributes radical classroom materials nationwide through the “Zinn Education Project” and is just one of many anti-Israel efforts aimed at teachers that need to be exposed. This project uses Zinn’s arguments, depicting U.S. and Israeli history primarily through the lens of colonialism and racism, to shape classroom narratives. Rethinking Schools regularly publishes lesson plans and articles that mirror Zinn’s ideology-based approach, reinforcing anti-Israel perspectives in K-12 education. In doing so, it amplifies Zinn’s influence over generations of leftist teachers.
The extremists at Rethinking Schools are hyper-focused on Israel. They have devoted two of the last seven issues to attacking Zionism and earlier this year published a book titled Teaching Palestine. This is not a new phenomenon; anti-Israel articles in the magazine date back to at least 2016.
When the history is written of the post-Oct. 7 explosion of Israel-bashing and antisemitism on American college campuses, historians will not need to look far to understand how students were radicalized against Israel before ever stepping into a college lecture hall.
What teachers teach must be monitored. There is no alternative. We are now witnessing the consequences of failing to do so.

The Implications of Hamas’s Public Executions and the World’s Silence by Khaled Abu Toameh
October 20, 2025 GATESTONE INSTITUTE
- Hamas, in short, has decided to eliminate any Palestinian opposed to terrorism and supportive of coexistence with Israel.
- Hamas’s actions also demonstrate that the terror group is determined to exploit the current ceasefire to reassert its control over the Gaza Strip.
- The silence, or apathy, of the international community, including so-called pro-Palestinian groups and individuals, towards Hamas’s crimes only encourages the terror group to proceed with its crackdown on its own people. The silence of the world, in addition, sends a message to the Palestinians that they should refrain from rising against Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip.
- We have not yet heard of a single Hamas terrorist talking about recognizing Israel’s right to exist. In the eyes of Hamas leaders, the Trump peace plan is just another temporary ceasefire that should be used for rearming, regrouping, and preparing for massacring more Israelis.
- In recent months, Hamas has been quoting a famous statement by its former leader, the late Ismail Haniyeh, to confirm that the terror group will never recognize Israel’s right to exist: “We said it five years ago and we say it now… we will never, we will never recognize Israel.”
- No transitional government or “Board of Peace” will ever be able to enforce law and order as long as Hamas terrorists feel free to murder any Palestinian who wants peace and coexistence with Israel.
- De-radicalization will happen only after Palestinians see that Hamas has been totally defeated, disarmed and removed from power…. Failure to eradicate Hamas will only pave the way for another October 7 massacre against Israel.

US President Donald Trump’s plan for ending the Hamas-Israel war states that “Gaza will be a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.” His plan also stipulates that “Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough” and that “once all [Israeli] hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty.”
Although Hamas has released the 20 living hostages and, since the announcement of Trump’s plan in early October, has handed over the bodies of some of the fallen, the Gaza Strip remains anything but a “de-radicalized terror-free zone.”
After the ceasefire went into effect, Hamas terrorists began rounding up dozens of Palestinians as part of a massive crackdown on critics and opponents of the terror group. At least 32 Palestinians have been publicly executed and many more otherwise killed by Hamas thugs under the pretext of “collaboration” with Israel. Fifty-two of those killed belonged to Hamas’s rival Doghmush clan.
Trump’s plan specifically notes that Gaza should not “pose a threat to its [Israeli] neighbors.” Hamas’s brutal crackdown shows that Gaza is posing a threat to its own people: Palestinians.
Hamas has not provided any evidence that many of those who were blindfolded, forced to kneel and executed extrajudicially in the street, in front of Palestinian children and teenagers, were linked in any way to the Israeli security forces. By labeling its victims as “collaborators,” Hamas is seeking to justify its crimes to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The terror group knows that Palestinians have no sympathy for anyone accused of treason and working for the Israeli “enemy.”
As Hamas drags Palestinians to the streets to face its firing squads, the international community appears to be looking the other way. Hamas, however, is not going after criminals, outlaws and suspected collaborators, as it claims. Instead, it is targeting those who dared to speak out against the terror group that brought death and destruction to the Gaza Strip after its October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel. Hamas is targeting Palestinian clans and individuals who dared to publicly challenge its atrocities against both Israelis and Palestinians.
Even if Hamas’s claim that some of these Palestinians were “collaborators” with Israel is true, it means that these people chose to help Israel in its war on terrorism. Hamas, in short, has decided to eliminate any Palestinian opposed to terrorism and supportive of coexistence with Israel.
If anything, these murders show that the Gaza Strip is still not a “terror-free zone.” Hamas’s actions also demonstrate that the terror group is determined to exploit the current ceasefire to reassert its control over the Gaza Strip. The silence, or apathy, of the international community, including so-called pro-Palestinian groups and individuals, towards Hamas’s crimes only encourages the terror group to proceed with its crackdown on its own people. The silence of the world, in addition, sends a message to the Palestinians that they should refrain from rising against Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip.
The Trump peace plan assumes that there are Hamas terrorists who might commit to coexistence with Israel and lay down their weapons. Hamas’s actions and rhetoric in the past two weeks, however, suggest that the opposite is true. We have not yet heard of a single Hamas terrorist talking about recognizing Israel’s right to exist. In the eyes of Hamas leaders, the Trump peace plan is just another temporary ceasefire that should be used for rearming, regrouping, and preparing for massacring more Israelis.
On October 16, Hamas announced, in a statement marking the first anniversary of the killing of Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 atrocities:
“[T]he martyrdom of leader Yahya Sinwar, and before him the leaders and symbols of the movement, will only increase the strength, steadfastness, and determination of the movement, its people and its resistance to adhere to their approach, continue in their path and be loyal to their blood and sacrifices…
“[T]he ember of the Al-Aqsa Flood [the name Hamas uses for its October 7 massacres] will remain burning and the banner of resistance will not fall until comprehensive liberation and the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
When Hamas talks about “comprehensive liberation,” it means conquering all the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and replacing Israel with an Islamist state.
Notably, Hamas is still fully committed to its 1988 charter, which states:
“The Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas] believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered; it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that.” (Article 11).
“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.” (Article 13)
In recent months, Hamas has been quoting a famous statement by its former leader, the late Ismail Haniyeh, to confirm that the terror group will never recognize Israel’s right to exist: “We said it five years ago and we say it now… we will never, we will never recognize Israel.”
For Hamas, any Palestinian or Arab who dares to make peace with Israel is a “collaborator” and “traitor” who deserves the death sentence. Hamas’s public executions of “collaborators” aim to send a warning not only to Palestinians, but to all Arabs as well: Peace and coexistence with Israel is an act of treason punishable by death.
The Gaza Strip will never be de-radicalized as long as Hamas continues to roam the streets and launch violent and ruthless crackdowns on Palestinians. No transitional government or “Board of Peace” will ever be able to enforce law and order as long as Hamas terrorists feel free to murder any Palestinian who wants peace and coexistence with Israel.
De-radicalization will happen only after Palestinians see that Hamas has been totally defeated, disarmed and removed from power. This is the only way to ensure the success of the Trump peace plan. The way things are going in the Gaza Strip these days, it appears that we are returning to the pre-October 7 era, during which Hamas maintained its grip on the Gaza Strip with an iron fist. Failure to eradicate Hamas will only pave the way for another October 7 massacre against Israel.

When Victory is Defeat: Hysterical Optimism and the Squandering of a Nation MORDECHAI SONES
How the frantic need to believe in a broken system is leading Israel to national ruin
OCT 20, 2025
In the landscape of a nation perpetually at war, a peculiar and dangerous psychological phenomenon has taken root. It is a sentiment that masquerades as faith, as resilience, as pragmatic hope. But in truth, it is a kind of fever, a desperate and energetic denial of a grim reality. The late American scholar Richard Weaver gave it a name: “hysterical optimism.” It is the state of mind that prevails until a society admits the existence of tragedy, and it is the primary obstacle to confronting the monumental crises facing the State of Israel today.
Contents
Faith in a Broken Machine
Shooting the Messenger
The Loss of Innocence
The Courage to Face Reality
This is not the simple, healthy optimism that fuels innovation and encourages perseverance. Hysterical optimism is a pathological condition, a defense mechanism against the terrifying possibility that the foundational systems are broken, that the national project is faltering, and that the immense sacrifices of its people are being squandered.
It is the insistence on celebrating minor victories while ignoring strategic catastrophes.
It is the loud affirmation of faith in political processes that have repeatedly proven themselves to be not just ineffective, but instruments of national decline.
In Israel, this manifests as a frantic need to believe that one more election, one more coalition, one more tactical maneuver will finally right the ship, even as it takes on more water and drifts perilously toward a globalist dystopia that threatens to subsume it entirely.
The core of this delusion is a refusal to see what is plainly there. Weaver described this downward path as one that develops an “insensibility which increases with their degradation.” As a crisis deepens and becomes chronic, the capacity to perceive it diminishes. Apathy mounts. The outrageous becomes normalized.
In Israel, this is a daily reality.
Consider the shifting goalposts of what constitutes a “victory.” A potential hostage deal that, a few months ago, would have been decried by a significant portion of the public as a capitulation and a surrender to terror, can be repackaged and later celebrated by the very same people as a resounding triumph. The mathematical and moral calculus has not changed; in fact, it has often worsened, with more concessions granted for fewer returns.
What has changed is the psychological need for a win, any win. The public, exhausted by war, grief, and uncertainty, is handed a narrative of success by political leaders and a compliant media, and they embrace it. To do otherwise would be to acknowledge the weakness of their position, the folly of their strategy, and the bitter truth of their losses. The wild celebrations are not a sign of strength, but a symptom of the hysteria—an emotional outburst designed to drown out the quiet, persistent voice of reality. This is the very essence of hysterical optimism: an emotional state that has become unmoored from rational analysis.
Faith in a Broken Machine
This dynamic is nowhere more apparent than in the deeply ingrained civic religion surrounding the act of voting. For many, particularly in the religious and nationalist camps, participation in elections is held up as the ultimate expression of civic responsibility and the primary vehicle for change. To question its efficacy is to commit a kind of heresy. The argument is made, with great sincerity, that voters share in the achievements of their elected officials. This is often presented as a point of pride. Proponents will point to a list of achievements—the establishment of a new settlement, the authorization of a hilltop outpost, the tightening of conditions for murderers in prison—as direct proof that their vote mattered, that the system works for them.
Herein lies the most subtle trap of hysterical optimism. Weaver argued that the apostles of modernism, when challenged, would retort with “catalogues of modern achievement, not realizing that here they bear witness to their immersion in particulars.” To praise an achievement, he cautioned, is meaningless unless it can be related to the professed aims of the civilization. The ultimate aim of the Zionist project was never merely to build another outpost or to reform a particular bureaucracy. The aim was to establish a secure, truly sovereign, and morally sound Jewish homeland.
The critical question, then, is whether these “particular” achievements contribute to that ultimate aim, or if they are merely, in Weaver’s chilling phrase, “a splendid efflorescence of decay.” Does the legalization of a new outpost strengthen Israel’s sovereignty, or does it occur within a framework where the nation must still ask permission from a foreign power to conduct its own defense? Do harsher prison conditions for terrorists signify strength, when thousands of other terrorists are simultaneously released in deals that ensure the cycle of violence will continue?
The comparison to a Mafioso who builds hospitals and orphanages is stark but apt. Good deeds do not exonerate a fundamentally corrupt or destructive enterprise. The problem is not that governments do no good whatsoever. The problem is that the good they do is used to purchase the public’s sanction for a system that is, on the whole, leading to ruin.
The voter’s ballot, cast with the best of intentions to achieve a specific, positive outcome, is taken as a blanket approval—a mandate. It is a mandate that is then used to justify policies that are antithetical to the voter’s own interests: suicidal rules of engagement that endanger soldiers, the mass release of convicted murderers, the slow ceding of national sovereignty to international bodies and foreign governments, and the implementation of administrative detention against the nation’s own citizens.
The vote, in this context, becomes a ritual of self-deception. It allows the citizen to feel that they have done their duty while conveniently absolving them of the more difficult responsibility of confronting the system’s fundamental failures. It is an act of faith in a broken machine, an expression of optimism that is hysterical because it is so profoundly disconnected from the machine’s actual results.
Shooting the Messenger
To point this out is to invite scorn. To suggest that the civic rituals are hollow, that the emperors have no clothes, is to position oneself as a “disturber of complacency.” Weaver understood this reaction perfectly, predicting that those who raise the possibility of decadence will be met with “incredulity and resentment.” He wrote that such a challenge is, in effect, “asking for a confession of guilt and an acceptance of sterner obligation.” It is far easier to attack the messenger—to accuse them of arrogance, of feeling they alone are right while everyone else is misguided—than it is to grapple with the terrifying implications of their message.
This defensive hostility is the reflex of a mind that has become, as Weaver put it, “highly unreceptive to unsettling thoughts.” After decades of political and educational catechism, the belief in the system becomes a part of one’s identity. Challenging it is not just a political disagreement; it is a personal affront. It threatens the individual’s sense of agency and moral clarity. The response is to retreat further into the comforting narrative and to demonize the one who seeks to fix it.
The Loss of Innocence
This retreat from reality has profound moral consequences. The downward spiral of a society is marked by the loss of what Weaver called the “ceremony of innocence”—the innate ability to distinguish between good and evil, to sense what is alien, destructive, and contrary to one’s moral ambition. As hysterical optimism takes hold, this clarity is lost. A society becomes, in his words, “amoral without the capacity to perceive it and degraded without means to measure our descent.”
This is the condition of a nation that can no longer muster the appropriate response to the perversions of truth and acts of brutality committed in its name. It is a state of willful blindness, where government falsehoods are accepted with a knowing shrug, and contradictions are simply ignored. Defeats are spun as victories, weakness is portrayed as strength, and subordination is framed as a strategic partnership.
This moral blurring is not an accident; it is a prerequisite for maintaining the optimistic narrative. To continue believing that the path is righteous and the leadership is sound, one must learn to rationalize or ignore actions that are objectively disastrous and morally corrosive.
The commenter who invokes the rabbinic principle that a person or a state is judged by the majority of its actions provides a perfect example of this rationalization. The principle is true, but its application here is a tool of moral evasion. It allows one to create a ledger of “good deeds” and “bad deeds,” and as long as the good column appears longer, the catastrophic nature of the bad can be overlooked. It is a way of avoiding the difficult truth that some failures are so fundamental that they render all the minor successes irrelevant. No amount of good governance by the Romans could justify their brutal and tyrannical rule. Similarly, no number of legislative victories can justify a government structure that is leading to the loss of life, liberty, and national sovereignty.
The Courage to Face Reality
What, then, is the alternative? The charge is often made that to reject the current political paradigm is to advocate for anarchy, to abdicate responsibility and simply let the state collapse. This is a false dichotomy, another defense mechanism of the hysterically optimistic mind. The alternative to a false hope is not despair, but a sober and courageous realism. The alternative is an urgent, organized campaign not to work within the broken system, but to rectify the system itself.
It is a call to recognize that the models of Western democracy, when transplanted into the unique context of Israel, may be incompatible with the nation’s long-term survival and its essential character. It is a call to acknowledge the painful reality that Israel has, in many respects, been reduced to a vassal state, unable to act decisively in its own defense without the approval of its patrons. The voters, with every election, ratify this arrangement, clinging to the illusion of control while their sovereignty steadily erodes.
The first step toward any genuine recovery is intellectual and moral, not political. It is the shedding of the hysterical optimism that serves as a collective security blanket, preventing a clear-eyed diagnosis of the illness. It requires a re-examination of the most basic assumptions about how power works and what constitutes meaningful civic action. It demands a recovery of that “ceremony of innocence,” that clarity of vision which can once again sense what is destructive and what does not comport with the nation’s moral ambition.
The task is to face the tragedy of the present moment without flinching. It is to admit that the estate, in many ways, has been squandered. Only from that painful admission can a true path to restoration be charted. The comfort of illusions is a luxury Israel can no longer afford. The time has come to abandon the hysteria and begin the demanding, and perhaps terrifying, work of confronting the truth.
The Problem with Terrorism Is TERROR by Linda Goudsmit
October 20, 2025
What is terrorism? The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition defines terrorism for us.
terrorism /tĕr′ə-rĭz″əm/
noun
1. The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.
2. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation.
3. The practise of coercing governments to accede to political demands by committing violence on civilian targets; any similar use of violence to achieve goals.
4. The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political or social agenda.
5. Violence against civilians to achieve military or political objectives.
6. A psychological strategy of war for gaining political or religious ends by deliberately creating a climate of fear among the population of a state.
7. The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.
Words matter. The distinguishing feature of terrorism is that it targets civilian populations. The history of warfare was forever changed by the acceptance of civilians as military targets in the Middle East. Islam is not a religion like any other. Islam is a theocracy. It is a supremacist, expansionist, binary, sociopolitical replacement ideology with a religious foundation. Islam distinguishes itself in its founding 7th-century doctrinal text, the Qur’an, as the only “religion” on the planet that advances genocide against non-believers––Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians. For 1400 years Muslims have been taught that there will only be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim, that means after the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate.
The tactical method for achieving the Islamic caliphate is jihad––Islamic terrorism that specifically targets civilians. Terrorism is enshrined in Islam’s religious texts as the obligatory character of jihad. Dr. Dianne Irving’s seminal article published November 14, 2020, “What the Qur’an Requires of ALL Muslims; Direct Quotes” provides incontrovertible evidence that terrorism is the religious obligation for ALL Muslims.
Dr. Irving uses the accepted scholarly Arabic/English translation of the text of the Qur’an and Sharia Law, Reliance of the Traveller, to clarify the immutable nature and strategic objectives of Islamic jihad. Please read her article in its entirety for a more detailed discussion. The excerpt below, including Dr. Irving’s commentary and conclusion, make it clear that Islamic jihad/terrorism is the doctrinal religious obligation of every Muslim everywhere in the world.
[pages 599 – 606] – JIHAD (categorized under “Justice”)
• o9.0 (O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada,signifying warfare to establish the religion. … and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: “I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and perform the prayer and pay zakat.
[page 600] – THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER OF JIHAD
• o9.1 Jihad is a communal obligation. When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others. (O: the evidence for which is the Prophet’s saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), … If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it.
• o9.4 WHO IS OBLIGED TO FIGHT IN JIHAD
Those called upon (O: to perform jihad when it is a communal obligation) are every able-bodied man who has reached puberty and is sane.
• o9.8 THE OBJECTIVES OF JIHAD
The caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax — which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself — while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the world of Allah Most High,
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden — who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled” (Koran 9:29) the time and place for which is before the final descent of Jesus (upon whom be peace). After [page 603] his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus’ descent (upon him and our Prophet be peace), which is the divinely revealed law of Muhammad. The coming of Jesus does not entail a separate divinely revealed law, for he will rule by the law of Muhammad. As for the Prophet’s saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), “I am the last, there will be no prophet after me.” this does not contradict the final coming of Jesus (upon whom be peace), since he will not rule according to the Evangel, but as a follower of our Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)).
• o9.9 The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permitted to settle with paying the poll tax (n. though according to the Hanafi school, peoples of all other religions, even idol worshipers, are permitted to live under the protection of the Islamic state if they either become Muslim or agree to pay the poll tax, the sole exceptions to which are apostates from Islam and idol worshipers who are Arabs, neither of whom has any choice but becoming Muslim.
• o9.10 THE RULES OF WARFARE It is not permissible (A: in jihad) to kill women or children unless they are fighting against the Muslims. Nor is it permissible to kill animals, unless they are being ridden into battle against the Muslims, or if killing them will help defeat the enemy. It is permissible to kill old men (O: old man meaning someone more than forty years of age) and monks. …
PERMISSIBLE LYING, DECEIVING
r8.2 The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,
“He who settles disagreements between people to bring about good or says something commendable is not a liar.” This much is related by both Bukari and Muslim, with Muslim’s version recording that Umm Kulthum added; “I did not hear him permit untruth in anything people say, except for three things: war, settling disagreements, and a man talking with his wife or she with him (A: in smoothing over differences).” This is an explicit statement that lying is sometimes permissible for a given interest, scholars having established criteria defining what types of it are lawful. The best analysis of it I have seen is by Imam Abu Hamid Ghazali, who says: “Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible (N: i.e., when the purpose of lying is to circumvent someone who is preventing one from doing something permissible), and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory. … Whether the purpose is war, settling a disagreement, or gaining the sympathy of a victim legally entitled to retaliate against one so that he will forbear to do so; it is not unlawful to lie when any of these aims can only be attained through lying. …
VI. CONCLUSION
Until free societies and their officials understand correctly what Islam really is and what the Qur’an demands from all Muslims, such terrorist actions as seen recently throughout Europe will continue to be mislabeled “radical”. They are not “radical” or performed by “fringe” groups of Muslims; they are quite seriously required of all Muslims — or else they must die — as their “holy book” the Qur’an quite clearly and profusely demands. Thankfully, more and more people today are taking the time to read the Qur’an themselves and thus understand better how to deal with it.
Dr. Irving documents the doctrinal sources of Islamic terrorism, but the question remains: Why is terrorism so effective? To answer this question, it is necessary to understand the universal psychodynamics of fear. Fear is arguably the most powerful trigger of human behavior change. The tactical objective of terrorism is extreme fear; its strategic objective is submission. If you frighten someone enough, you can get that person to do almost anything. Why is this so? Because fear triggers chronological adults to psychologically regress back to childlike compliance (submission)––the time before critical-thinking skills have developed. When the house is on fire a child or a psychologically regressed adult hides under the bed, a rational adult finds the escape route.
Psychological regression is a powerful tactical weapon of asymmetric warfare, and I never forget that what separates ordinary people from Navy SEALS is their intensive psychological training. Navy SEALS are trained to remain in their most rational adult psychological state of mind even under the most destabilizing and dire circumstances. They are consummate psychological adult role models for us all, specifically because terrorism targets civilians. We must remain psychological adults to fend off the tactical fear-based provocation designed to regress us back to psychological childhood where we are easily controlled.
Terrorism is an extremely powerful tactical weapon used by totalitarian societies internally to ensure compliance and used externally as an offensive weapon against civilian populations particularly in nations that value and prioritize the lives of their citizens. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists savagely attacked Israeli civilians raping, murdering, and butchering 1200 men, women, and children, and taking 250 hostages including American citizens. Two years later, on October 15, 2025, as part of President Trump’s phased 20-point peace plan, Israel and Hamas agreed to Phase 1: an immediate ceasefire; an Israeli troop withdrawal to an agreed-upon line; and the trade of 20 living Israeli hostages and 28 dead Israeli hostages for 2,000 Hamas terrorists. After the transfer, Hamas immediately violated the terms of the agreement and rejected the terms of Phase 2 which require the complete disarmament of Hamas. So, what has the President’s “peace” deal accomplished? Israel recovered its precious living hostages and the remains of some of its dead hostages. Hamas refilled its ranks and resupplied its jihadi terrorists to regroup and prepare for the next attack on Israel.
Why do I say this? First, because Hamas is doctrinally committed to destroying the Jewish people and, by extension, the Jewish State of Israel. President Donald Trump cannot peacefully disarm and remove Hamas terrorists and their leaders from Gaza with words on a document signed in a “peace” deal. The Saudis have stated unequivocally that if Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, the three countries responsible for disarming Gaza, do not meet their obligations then the Saudis will withdraw from the agreement.
Second, because Qatar and every other Muslim nation whether Shia or Sunni Muslim is doctrinally committed to the destruction of Jews and Christians worldwide. First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday. President Trump is a Christian businessman-turned-politician who is a dealmaker and peacemaker. The problem with Middle East deals and Middle East peace plans is that they require mindfulness of Muslim ideological commitments to Islamic doctrine and familiarity with the two Arabic words that describe them. Taqiyya, lying in the service of Islam, and hudna, a deceitful ceasefire pause used to regroup, resupply, and reattack.
President Trump is well-intentioned, but he is playing short-term Christian businessman checkers with an opponent who is playing long-term Islamic ideological chess. The Islamic doctrinal commitment to jihad is immutable and has remained unchanged for 1400 years. So, where does this leave President Trump and the Israelis? Without a peaceful Phase 2 there is only one option––Israel must go back into Gaza militarily and forcibly remove Hamas jihadis to protect itself from the inevitable forthcoming attacks.
History is a great teacher. What China did to manipulate America when they opened their markets to Kissinger/Nixon in 1972, is precisely what Qatar/Iran are doing to President Trump and his administration today. China played the long game and quietly exploited the greed of American globalists who thought that they were taking advantage of cheap Chinese labor. It took fifty years for China to establish itself as an economic, manufacturing, and cultural threat to the sovereignty of the United States. Similarly, Qatar found the way to exploit American greed by quietly buying influence at American universities across the country to advance its own culture war on America and simultaneously courting American businessmen to deflect attention from Qatar’s anti-American, antisemitic, anti-Christian, pro-Palestinian propaganda campaign. While Iran’s oil bankrolls the barbaric savagery of terrorists slaughtering Jews and Christians worldwide, Qatari money deceitfully bankrolls the profitable business deals made in polite company which brings me to the Center for American Progress.
Journalist Andrew Fox provides an extraordinary analysis of Qatari involvement in American political affairs in his special report to Investigative Project on Terrorism, September 25, 2025, “Who Was Really Behind the Recognition of Palestine: There is more to it than meets the eye.” Fox describes what he calls the hidden hand of the Center for American Progress:
An influential progressive think tank, aligned with Qatar’s agenda, has been quietly orchestrating a significant shift in Western policy towards Israel and Palestine. The Center for American Progress (CAP), a Washington, D.C.–based NGO described by critics as a “pro-Qatar” organisation, has used its global network to encourage allied governments to recognise a Palestinian state and adopt more hardline positions against Israel.
Who are the allied governments referenced above? Who are their common enemies?
At the 2024 summit in Montréal, for instance, global progressive elites assembled under CAP’s guidance to “collaborate on bold new ideas” for governance. The key figures alone demonstrate the network’s reach: Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared the stage with former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Mark Carney (then a UN envoy and Canada 2020 think-tank chair, now Canada’s Prime Minister). Also present was Paul Ovenden, Director of Political Strategy at 10 Downing Street until last week––a top aide to British Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, reflecting that party’s support. CAP Action’s CEO Patrick Gaspard and Canada 2020’s CEO Braeden Caley (a key summit organiser) explicitly described the gathering as an “essential” meeting of the “global progressive movement” to strategise against common adversaries.
The operative and repeated word in this article is progressive––progress toward what???????? Every leftist progressive policy anywhere in the world is designed to weaken and destabilize its host Western nation-state, not strengthen it! Progressivism is the height of Orwellian word perversion because the word progress infers construction when, in fact, progressivism is designed for societal destruction! Progressivism is a humanitarian hoax on a global scale.
The Center for American Progress (CAP) and its Global Progress Action (GPA) are Orwellian names for organizations committed to the destruction of Israel and establishment of Qatari hegemony in the Middle East! CAP is a progressive leftist “think tank” launched by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation in 2003. Sunni/Qatar and Iranian/Shia are different sides of the same Islam expansionist coin. Qatar is the financier in charge of the soft-side of jihad––Al Jazeera + billions of Qatari dollars spend on influence in western universities, particularly in America. This is the academic nexus of the red/green alliance being funded with Qatari riyals and US taxpayer dollars through its NGOs and USAID. Qatar specializes in sinister cultural terrorism, and Iran specializes in savage physical terrorism, but they are both deeply involved in Islamic jihad designed to force worldwide submission to its global Islamic caliphate.
Bassem Eid’s incisive article published, June 10, 2025, by Investigative Project on Terrorism, “Qatar: the Real Perpetrator of the October 7th Massacre” exposes Qatari’s staggering deceit:
What explains the deep involvement of Qatar in antisemitism and international terrorism? In a word: ideology. Qatar’s official version of Islam is the stark form called Wahhabism. Since the 1990s, Qatar has positioned itself as the major funder of the radical front for Islamist political theocracy known as the Muslim Brotherhood throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Hamas, which Qatar has heavily funded, is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and its 1988 founding charter commits it to the destruction of the State of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic theocracy in its place. Qatar was the primary physical residence and base for Hamas’s international leadership from 2012 until late 2024, when American pressure grew too great in the wake of the October 7 [2023] massacre.
Qatar’s reach stretches far beyond direct terrorism––its persuasive reach has astonishing access through Qatar’s state-owned media corporation, Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera has become a household name worldwide, and many Westerners are surprised to learn that the channel, which has provided media access for radical figures from Saddam Hussein to Osama bin Laden, is the property of the Qatari government and, as such, has never once voiced criticism of the Qatari state or its royal family. Not only Israel but also several Arab states have scrutinized Qatar’s Al Jazeera for its platforming of Hamas, for which it provides highly slanted positive coverage and boosting. …
Indeed, Qatar’s “soft power” globally, including in the United States, goes far beyond media reach or security cooperation. The wealthy Qatar Development Fund, a state-owned investment entity, has poured resources into critical and sensitive United States infrastructure. Notably, Qatar has invested billions in U.S. higher education, with research indicating that Qatar-funded groups are behind many of the antisemitic and pro-Hamas “protests” that have roiled U.S. campuses since Hamas launched its war on October 7, 2023. Much of this Qatari funding has not been reported to the U.S. Department of Education, as required by law, with Yale University, for example, having allegedly concealed millions of dollars in Qatari investments that are believed to have fueled anti-Israel attitudes on campus.
Qatar is wealthy and powerful mainly because the United States and its allies have allowed it to be, and the consequences are now plain for all to see. Unlike Iran, Qatar is not a large, mountainous country with millions of inhabitants; it is a small, low-lying peninsula with a total population under 3 million, of whom about 90% are foreign noncitizens. It is an absolute monarchy whose ruling al Thani dynasty retains a complete monopoly on political power. Now, it is upon the U.S. Congress to designate Qatar for what it is––a major state sponsor of terrorism––and to impose sanctions on its ruling class. Doing so would compel change and dry up one of the primary financial sources of instability in today’s world. Failing to change the status quo risks leading to more horrors like those the Qatari-sponsored terrorists perpetrated in Israel on October 7, 2023.
The Western Judeo-Christian mind is unprepared for the depth of ideological commitment to jihad that is obligatory in Islamic doctrine and especially unprepared for the deceitfulness that is intrinsic to its success. The doctrinal tenets of Islam are diametrically opposed to the Judeo-Christian tradition, particularly the obligatory jihadi terrorism that is the weapon of choice being used to bludgeon Western nations into submission physically and psychologically.
Qatar is not America’s friend no matter how many friendly business deals are approved or how many friendly “peace” deals are signed, because beneath the veneer of profit and politeness is the harsh reality of doctrinal Islamic jihad and its 3-step taqiyya/hudna tactical strategy to deceive, distract, and conquer. The battle to establish an Islamic caliphate is being fought in America, on America, and against Western nations globally. The friendly deceitfulness that is its signature characteristic is part of the overall psychological battle between objective reality (the adult world of facts) and subjective reality (the child’s world of feelings) that defines life in the 21st-century. This consequential battle is the explanation for the title of my latest book, Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is, released in August 2024.
Our Make America Great Again President Donald Trump has done an extraordinary job of strengthening America and making Americans feel proud to be American again. What he must finally accept is that Islamic doctrine is antithetical to American values––it is an existential matter for American national security and the future of Western civilization.

Digital ID Comes to America & the War Against Farmers [1:01:38] Tom Renz
OCT 19, 2025
It’s tough to even know where to start today. RFK just came out and explained that 36,000 doctors had their Medicare reimbursements altered based on vax rates rather than science or patient needs, it turns out Pence appears to have been working with the FBI directly on Crossfire Hurricane, Letitia James looks like she is facilitating an entire RICO scheme, and the feds are moving to pass more track and trace/digital ID legislation. This country is a mess, and that’s without even talking about the war on farmers. Trump is fighting hard, but there are too many snakes trying to undermine him, and we have a real issue in front of us.
First up, RFK Jr., now HHS Secretary, dropped a bombshell, 36,000 doctors had their Medicare reimbursements tweaked based on childhood vaccination rates, not patient health. I played his clip where he called it coercion, not medicine, and announced the repeal of a Biden-era CMS rule that incentivized this madness. This aligns with data from the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network, which tracked hospital vax rates to enforce mandates. Hospitals, folks, are profit-driven businesses, not saints, administrators rake in millions while doctors are pressured to jab, not heal. Check RFK’s words: “medical decisions should hinge on the Hippocratic Oath, not financial bonuses.” It’s a scandal, and we’re just scratching the surface as he audits the system.
Next, let’s talk Mike Pence, a name that still makes my blood boil. General Flynn tweeted about a lawsuit citing documents showing Pence back-channeled with the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team, targeting Flynn without a shred of apology. This ties to declassified FBI notes and the Durham Report, which exposed FBI overreach. Pence, the “fake Christian,” never reached out to Flynn, proof he’s a snake in the grass. This is why we MAGA folks must watchdog Trump’s team. The DOJ’s inertia under Bondi is unacceptable, and we need accountability, not excuses.
Then there’s Letitia James, oh boy, where do I start? The New York Post reported her grandniece, Kayla Thompson Harston, racked up eight felonies and three misdemeanors in five years, all downgraded or dropped. One case involved mortgage fraud and a gun purchase lie, pleaded down to a misdemeanor. James seems to be leveraging her AG role for family favors, sounds like a RICO operation to me. It’s gross, folks, and we need investigations, not cover-ups.
Now, the big one: digital ID and track-and-trace. The feds are pushing the App Store Accountability Act, pitched as kid safety from online filth, but it’s a Trojan horse. Paired with the Real ID Act (49 USC § 30301), which mandates states share DMV data electronically, it creates a de facto national digital ID network (DHS, 2025). Senator Mike Lee sponsors it, likely duped by tech lobbyists claiming it protects kids. But it’s a backdoor to surveillance, mirroring the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda. Vigilant Fox and my X posts warn this kills privacy, freedom’s enemy wears a friendly mask.
Finally, the war on farmers. In Canada, one in 20 deaths is now assisted suicide, 4%, a cultural death spiral. Here, a farm bill rider may grant Bayer vaccine-like immunity, shielding them from Roundup lawsuits linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Guest Katie from an ostrich farm in Canada shared her nightmare: 120+ police, a command center, and drones over her property after a bogus bird flu claim using a 39-cycle PCR test, junk science. Her research on ostrich antibodies neutralizing COVID-19 threatens Big Pharma, and the government’s response is intimidation.
Trump’s fighting, but we need to rise up, folks. Check TomRenz.com for resources, and let’s reclaim our freedoms, legally, peacefully, and together.

This won’t be widely reported but it’s important. Let’s connect some dots.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “President Gustavo Petro, of Colombia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia. It has become the biggest business in Colombia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America.
AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc.
Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
President Donald J. Trump”
Petro is the Communist gangster who stood on a New York City street recently during the UN meetings with a bullhorn telling Americans to incite violence against other Americans. American taxpayers send this clown over $500 MILLION each year in aid and subsidies – I bet you didn’t know that.
Prior to this, Petro had refused to take back deported criminals he had dumped in America so Trump tariffed him and Petro caved. Now, Trump just cut off the checkbook altogether and threatened to burn Petro’s killing fields.
Virtue, Vaccination, and the Disease of Coercion By Mordechai Sones
How Rabbi Avraham Steinberg’s call to punish the unvaccinated reveals a totalitarian impulse long feared by political philosophers

The Tyranny of the ‘Greater Good’
In the tumultuous years of the COVID-19 pandemic, a seismic shift occurred in our public discourse. The language of health, once focused on personal well-being and medical guidance, morphed into a vocabulary of moral obligation, social utility, and, ultimately, coercion. A stark line was drawn in the sand, not between the sick and the healthy, but between the compliant and the defiant.
This chasm was given a chilling voice by figures like Rabbi Avraham Steinberg, an influential medical ethicist, who, in the pages of Arutz Sheva, declared it permissible to force vaccine refusers “to be vaccinated against their will or to punish them for their refusal.” He went further, comparing the intentionally unvaccinated to “rodfim” (pursuers) who should be judged in a “criminal” light.
This was not merely a strong opinion on a public health measure. It was the expression of a political theology, one that demanded total adherence to a single, prescribed vision of the social good. It is a mindset that, decades earlier, Israeli historian J.L. Talmon dissected in his seminal work, The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy. Talmon traced the intellectual roots of modern totalitarianism to a messianic impulse born out of the Enlightenment, an unwavering belief in a “sole and exclusive truth in politics.”
Examining Rabbi Steinberg’s pronouncements through Talmon’s lens reveals how the fanatic pursuit of public health can, alarmingly, adopt the very logic of the systems it purports to oppose. It demonstrates how a society, in its quest to exorcise the specter of disease, can become possessed by the spirit of totalitarianism.
The Single Plane of Existence: Social Utility
Talmon argued that a key feature of this political messianism was the creation of a “homogeneous society, in which men live upon one exclusive plane of existence.” On this plane, all complex and varied aspects of human life—class, citizenship, private belief, transcendental faith—are collapsed. They are replaced by a single, overriding standard of judgment: “social utility, as expressed in the idea of the general good.”
The COVID-19 pandemic brought this abstract concept into sharp, painful focus. The “general good” was defined singularly as the eradication of a virus through universal vaccination. Suddenly, this one act became the ultimate measure of a person’s worth and virtue.
As Rabbi Steinberg argued in a February 2021 opinion piece for Arutz Sheva, “there is a halakhic obligation to be vaccinated with approved vaccines, both for the sake of the person to keep healthy, and for the sake of others to prevent their infection.” He framed the issue in absolute terms, stating that the “only way to stop the pandemic is vaccination.”
In this framework, there is no room for other planes of existence. The private sphere of bodily autonomy, the sanctity of individual conscience, the right to personal risk assessment, and even deeply-held religious objections were not seen as legitimate considerations to be weighed but as obstacles to social utility. They were selfish deviations from the collective good.
This pressure was not just rhetorical. As reporting from the time shows, a pervasive atmosphere of compliance was fostered, where community leaders, clinics, and religious figures were co-opted by government entities to enforce the mandate, creating a unified front that marginalized dissent. The state, as Talmon wrote, could “recognize no such limitations.” The only framework for activity was the nation, united in its singular crusade against the virus.
Refusing to be Healthy and Free: Equating Virtue with Conformity
This new social order required a new definition of virtue. For the 18th-century thinkers Talmon analyzed, virtue was simple: “conformity to the hoped-for pattern of social harmony.” They cherished the “inevitable equation of liberty with virtue and reason.” Conflict between personal liberty and prescribed virtue was not seen as a possibility. To be free was to choose the rational, virtuous path laid out by the enlightened.
Rabbi Steinberg’s arguments perfectly embody this equation. In his view, the science was settled and the path was clear. Vaccination was the only rational, and therefore virtuous, choice. To refuse was not an exercise of liberty but a descent into irrationality and vice. It was, to paraphrase Talmon’s chilling phrase, “a refusal to be healthy and virtuous.” This is the intellectual move that justifies coercion. If there is no legitimate freedom to choose wrongly, then force is not a violation of liberty but a tool to guide the errant back to the path of righteousness.
This is precisely the logic Steinberg employs when he considers how to handle vaccine refusers. He writes, “The approach to those who refuse to be vaccinated can be at a criminal level – enforce them and/or punish them; or at the torts level – enact sanctions and/or deny benefits and employment.”
The language is stark. It is the language of a state dealing with criminals, not of a society engaging with conscientious objectors. When virtue is defined as nothing more than conformity to a state-prescribed health solution, non-conformity is, by definition, a crime against the social body. The schism Talmon described is complete: liberal democracy, which “flinched from the spectre of force,” gives way to a totalitarian messianism “who justified themselves in the use of coercion.”
Exorcising Disease: The Politics of Perfection
At the heart of this ideology is a utopian promise. Talmon identified its core totalitarian potential in a simple, devastating idea: “The very idea of a self-contained system from which all evil and unhappiness have been exorcised is totalitarian.” He continued, “The assumption that such a scheme of things is feasible and indeed inevitable is an invitation to a régime to proclaim that it embodies this perfection, to exact from its citizens recognition and submission and to brand opposition as vice or perversion.”
Let us apply Talmon’s words directly to the context of public health, as the logic is identical: The very idea of a self-contained system from which all disease has been exorcised is totalitarian. The assumption that such a scheme of things is feasible and indeed inevitable is an invitation to a régime to proclaim that it embodies this perfection.
This is the ultimate promise of the mandate advocates. The goal was not merely to manage a health crisis but to achieve a perfect state of safety, a world free from a specific pathogen. This secular messianic vision, the belief that a complex and ever-mutating respiratory virus could be completely defeated through a single technological solution, is what licensed the extreme rhetoric and coercive policies. It allowed Rabbi Steinberg to proclaim that the unvaccinated are not just taking a different approach to health but are actively preventing the arrival of this promised perfection. They are agents of chaos standing in the way of a disease-free utopia.
This mindset leaves no room for humility, error, or the possibility that the “perfect” solution may have unintended consequences or may not be perfect after all. The regime, whether a state or the intellectual vanguard championing its cause, has proclaimed its solution as the embodiment of perfection. Therefore, opposition cannot be legitimate. It cannot be based on reason or sincere belief. It can only be “vice or perversion,” the product of misinformation, selfishness, or malice. It must be branded, sanctioned, and if necessary, crushed.
The Enduring Virus
The most acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic may be behind us, but the ideological virus it unleashed remains. The arguments championed by Rabbi Steinberg and others like him were not simply about a vaccine; they were a trial run for a particular type of governance, one that sees the citizen not as a sovereign individual but as a component of a collective, a body to be managed for the sake of social utility. It is a vision rooted in the totalizing belief in a single, rational truth, a belief that inevitably sees dissent as pathology and coercion as a form of therapy.
J.L. Talmon’s warnings, born from the ashes of the Second World War, have never been more relevant. He taught us that the road to tyranny is often paved with the language of virtue, liberty, and reason. It is a road walked by those who believe they can engineer a perfect society, free from all evil, all unhappiness, and all disease.
In our modern age, the pursuit of public health risks becoming the new “exclusive doctrine,” the new secular religion that justifies any means to achieve its utopian ends.
Resisting this requires more than just debating the efficacy of a given medical intervention. It requires a fierce defense of the private sphere, a recognition of the limits of the state, and a renewed commitment to the messy, imperfect, and ultimately sacred principle that individual conscience, not state decree, must be the final authority in a free society.
Comedian EVISCERATES Hamas Propaganda (and Crowd Loved It!) [12:37] Nicholas De Santo
October 17, 2025
OCT 18, 2025 RAIR FOUNDATION USA
Mamdani’s election would not merely change New York — it would normalize, inside the American system itself, the merger of Islam and Marxism as a legitimate governing force.
In an explosive RAIR Foundation USA exclusive interview, Jihad Watch Director Robert Spencer issued a stark warning about what could soon befall America’s largest city: the election of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “socialist” and devout Twelver Shiite Muslim, whom Spencer describes as “a Marxist revolutionary aligned with Iran’s jihadist ideology.”
Mamdani — whom current polling gives an 87% chance of becoming New York’s next mayor (Emerson College Poll, Oct. 2025) — is the subject of Spencer’s new book, Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani, a devastating exposé revealing how the radical left and Islamic movements are converging in the heart of America’s most influential city
Watch the full RAIR TV exclusive interview with Robert Spencer:
“A Communist Muslim Leading America’s Largest City”
Spencer warns that Mamdani’s rise represents “a fusion of two totalitarian ideologies — Marxism and Islam — each using terror, fear, and class warfare to impose an earthly utopia by force.”
“He’s both a Marxist and a Twelver Shiite Muslim — the same sect that rules Iran,” Spencer explained. “These are the people who chant ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ every Friday — not as a slogan, but as a plan of action.”
Spencer points to Iranian assassination plots on U.S. soil, including the 2021 attempt to kill a dissident journalist in Brooklyn and the foiled 2011 plot to bomb a D.C. restaurant frequented by a Saudi ambassador, as precedent for Tehran’s long arm inside America.
“What better way to further that plan,” Spencer asked, “than having someone ideologically aligned with Iran’s regime leading the largest city in the country?”
If Mamdani becomes mayor, Spencer warns, New York will not merely elect another far-left politician — it will legitimize the Marxist-Islamic alliance on American soil, empowering enemies of liberty worldwide.
“A True Believer” Backed by Marxist and Islamic Elites
Born into immense privilege, Mamdani is no grassroots reformer. His mother, Meera Nair, is a wealthy, internationally acclaimed filmmaker who boycotts Israel and once refused an award from the Haifa Film Festival “until the apartheid regime is dismantled.”
His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is a Marxist Columbia University professor known for his book Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, which framed jihad as “resistance to Western imperialism.”
“He was raised in Marxist-Islamist privilege,” Spencer said. “A millionaire’s son pretending to be a revolutionary — just like Lenin, Mao, and Castro before him.”
Mamdani’s lavish three-continent wedding earlier this year — with receptions in New York, Dubai, and Kampala, Uganda, at his family’s private compound — exposes the familiar hypocrisy of Marxist elites who decry capitalism while living in its luxury.
Marxism Meets the Jizya
Mamdani’s proposed policies — including “taxing white neighborhoods more” (Meet the Press interview, June 2025), nationalizing housing, and creating city-run grocery stores — are, according to Spencer, a Marxist echo of Islam’s jizya, the discriminatory tax historically imposed on non-Muslims under Sharia rule.
“Marxism penalizes the productive for the sake of the unproductive,” Spencer explained. “It’s the same principle behind the jizya — punishing one class to empower another, while elites live comfortably above them all.”
Such measures, Spencer warns, would quickly bankrupt New York City, trigger demands for a federal bailout, and deepen racial and class division — an outcome both Marxists and Muslims desire to fracture American society from within.
The Red-Green Axis: Antifa and Muslims in the Streets
Spencer predicts a surge in street-level chaos should Mamdani take power, pointing to a pattern across Western cities where leftist governments enable both Antifa violence and Islamic demonstrations.
“Antifa and Islam operate the same way — through intimidation,” he said.
“The goal is to terrify the public into silence and submission. That’s not an accident; it’s the model.”
In cities like Portland, Minneapolis, and London, Spencer notes, the “red-green axis” has manifested in mass protests, synagogue vandalism, and anti-Israel marches that go unchecked by progressive mayors.
With control over NYPD leadership, budget allocations, and public assembly permits, Mamdani could transform New York into “a giant Portland — but armed with Iran’s ideology and New York’s power.”
The Jewish Question — and the Left’s Blind Spot
Despite New York’s enormous Jewish population — nearly 1.6 million, the largest outside Israel — Spencer warns that many left-leaning Jews may still back Mamdani out of a misplaced belief in progressive egalitarianism.
“Socialism promised equality after centuries of persecution, but it’s now the vehicle for a new antisemitism,” Spencer warned. “The right defends the individual. The left erases distinctions, including the Jewish identity itself.”
Mamdani’s public support for the BDS movement and his family’s anti-Israel activism should serve as a wake-up call to Jewish voters still convinced that the political left remains their protector.
What’s at Stake
Under New York’s charter, the mayor controls: The appointment of the NYPD Commissioner, Corporation Counsel, and the city budget exceeding $100 billion
- Oversight of school curricula, zoning boards, and emergency executive powers
- Direct influence on federal cooperation, including with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force
A Mamdani administration, Spencer argues, could use those levers to weaken counterterror programs, defund police, and turn the city into a national flashpoint for Marxist-Islamic unrest.
A Final Warning
Spencer closes with a stark message for voters nationwide: “He’s deadly serious about everything he says,” Spencer concluded. “He’s a die-hard Marxist and an unapologetic Islamist. If he wins, it will not stop at New York — it will spread across America.”
Robert Spencer’s new book: Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani is available now on Amazon.

Europe Has Apparently Learned Nothing by Majid Rafizadeh
October 18, 2025
- Once again, Europe seems to have slipped into a dangerous fantasy: that engaging in polite diplomatic parleys with promises of sugar plums will tame Iran’s rapacious ambitions.
- France, Germany, and the United Kingdom (E3), acting as the European Troika, declared their intention to revive the long-stalled nuclear negotiations with Iran.
- At the core of the E3’s plan lies the deeply flawed assumption that Iran can be wooed into restraint through incremental “incentives.” These generally consist of easing financial pressure, lifting trade restrictions, or delaying multilateral sanctions in exchange for ephemeral commitments.
- Sadly, Europe appears to be pursuing the worst lessons of appeasement: the dangerous illusion is that you can temper a ravenous aggressor by conciliation, weakness and generosity. The aggressor immediately sees that the best route for him is to demand more. The cycle becomes self-reinforcing.
- By treating the Iranian regime as a legitimate negotiating partner — and by discounting the moral and strategic gulf that separates it from liberal democracies — Europe is bankrolling the terrorism industry.
- President Donald J. Trump’s current posture — doubling down on sanctions, refusing immediate diplomacy until leverage is secured — should jolt Europe out of its passivity.
- The European Troika’s charade must stop. Anything less just prolongs the threat.

Once again, Europe seems to have slipped into a dangerous fantasy: that engaging in polite diplomatic parleys with promises of sugar plums will tame Iran’s rapacious ambitions.
France, Germany, and the United Kingdom (E3), acting as the European Troika, declared their intention to revive the long-stalled nuclear negotiations with Iran. In a joint statement, they pledged to “reopen a path toward a comprehensive, lasting, and verifiable agreement.”
This is the same play we have seen before: bold headlines, carefully phrased commitments, and the faint hope that seduction can substitute for strength. Unfortunately, these gestures always carry a hidden cost. Once the diplomatic machinery is set in motion, we soon hear about sanctions relief, softening of UN mandates, and felicitous loopholes to reintegrate the Iranian regime into global markets. What begins as promise too often ends as reward for terrible behavior and a prelude to even more.
At the core of the E3’s plan lies the deeply flawed assumption that Iran can be wooed into restraint through incremental “incentives.” These generally consist of easing financial pressure, lifting trade restrictions, or delaying multilateral sanctions in exchange for ephemeral commitments. That path amounts to legitimizing the regime by granting it breathing room, access to resources, and a veneer of normalcy it does not merit.
When European officials talk about reopening “verifiable” safeguards or restoring frozen assets, they always seem to forget who is sitting across the table. The Iranian regime executes dissidents, imprisons journalists, traffics in terrorism, and crushes not only women’s rights but also any protests against this abuse. The Iranian regime is not a pitiable, misunderstood actor in need of trust, but a malignant force that uses every opening to expand its power. Europe’s diplomatic overtures risk becoming a balm for that evil — not a deterrent.
If the EU persists in re-embarking on this flawed strategy, it is important to ask: Will these feckless Western negotiators ever internalize the lessons of history? The 2015 JCPOA “nuclear deal” was hardly an abstraction — it is the blueprint for what happens when a regime gets the keys to its own treasury.
Under that deal, Iran received billions in sanctions relief, which it promptly diverted to its regional militias and proxy networks. Iran bolstered Hezbollah, sharpened its militias in Iraq and Syria, and channeled arms to Hamas. Those are the forces that play a central role in destabilizing the region.
President Barack Obama’s and President Joe Biden’s windfalls only empowered the networks that produced the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre. Are European leaders so eager to believe that Iran will behave differently this time? Or are they so eager for money, photo-ops and short-term press releases from Iran that they do not care?
The ghosts of the 1930s should haunt any serious diplomat — when appeasement toward Nazi Germany only propelled Hitler further. Sadly, Europe appears to be pursuing the worst lessons of appeasement: the dangerous illusion is that you can temper a ravenous aggressor by conciliation, weakness and generosity. The aggressor immediately sees that the best route for him is to demand more. The cycle becomes self-reinforcing.
The strategy is familiar: in every case, the aggressor uses any breathing space to strengthen his hand. By treating the Iranian regime as a legitimate negotiating partner — and by discounting the moral and strategic gulf that separates it from liberal democracies — Europe is bankrolling the terrorism industry.
Instead, Europe needs to deepen financial sanctions on Iran, choke off its energy revenue flows, crack down on its banking access, and tighten restrictions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its global networks.
Iran’s economy is currently under severe pressure, and internal dissatisfaction simmers. The regime is reeling. This is when the West should increase pressure, not suggest soft diplomacy and friendly talks. It would be a gift to the people of Iran to pressure the regime until the threats of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles disappear entirely or until the regime decides to surrender power.
Cut Iran’s oil exports. Cut its diplomatic cover. Reduce its ability to spread terrorism. Do not grant it breathing room. The goal should be total dismantlement of all of Iran’s nuclear capabilities — not a face-saving compromise that allows it to persist in its malign path, just under new rules that it will not adhere to anyway.
President Donald J. Trump’s current posture — doubling down on sanctions, refusing immediate diplomacy until leverage is secured — should jolt Europe out of its passivity. His leadership has shown that pressure can be maintained.
Europe nevertheless seems intent on returning to its old script: talk first, pressure later – if ever. The pattern is always the same: Crisis, offers to negotiate, pressure is lifted, the regime reconstitutes, next crisis. If Europe cannot break this cycle, it will forever play the fool. The only way to end this game is to finish it once and for all. If the EU cannot summon the will to be strong when the regime is weak, then it is causing the next act of aggression.
European leaders, stop treating Iran’s regime as if it were a partner. Stop giving it diplomatic cover. No further bailouts. No symbolic talks. No concessions. More pressure.
The European Troika’s charade must stop. Anything less just prolongs the threat.

No Kings Peggy Tierney
OCT 18, 2025 TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
It’s late but I have a quick warning about the “No Kings” protests planned by the Communists across the country tomorrow. STAY HOME, STAY SAFE AND STAY AWAY.
Democrats are going to bring out the Marxists, the Communists, the cartels, the gangs, the socialists, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far-left Democrat Party—that is what has taken over the modern Democratic Party. The “No Kings” protests across the U.S. are being financed by foundations funded by George Soros and the Communists.
They are even broadcasting that it’s funded by the Communists!
GENERAL FLYNN: “Tomorrow’s so-called “No Kings” protest isn’t a grassroots movement; it’s a paid production. Total Communist propaganda. Don’t fall for it!”
ANNA: “Do NOT attend the No Kings protests on Saturday. Communists will wear MAGA gear in an attempt to cause chaos.”
The Communists dressed up like MAGA at Charlottesville during Trump’s first term in 2017 and they did the same on January 6. They committed violent acts – and even murdered people – and they tried to blame it on MAGA. It worked before so I guarantee they will try again. They will try to intimidate the American people and get President Trump to back down, remove the National Guard from our most dangerous cities and let the criminals run free.
There is documented evidence that the armed “Queer” Islamo-Communist organizations in Salt Lake City – who were organizing all the chat groups plotting and celebrating Charlie’s death – were connected to the Soros-Singh CCP “No Kings” organizations behind the LA riots and the Antifa Communist Tesla arson and protesters. It’s all connected.
No matter what happens – no matter what you hear – remember the words of this young man:
I love this! From the mouths of babes. The Trump administration needs to make ads with testimonies like this – so the rest of America can hear the truth about what “Make America Safe Again” means to the children who have to live under the pro-criminal policies of the Democrats.
