Europe Fell. Australia Fell. America MUST Confront Radical Islamic Terror  [20:45]   Brigitte Gabriel

Dec 15, 2025  Stand Tall Israel

Radical Islam conquered Europe while most people weren’t paying attention.

Now, Brigitte Gabriel warns that America is in the same danger — and running out of time to stop it.

In this powerful full speech, Brigitte Gabriel — New York Times bestselling author and founder of Act For America — exposes the 100-year strategy designed to infiltrate Western governments, weaponize our freedoms, and transform our society from within. She explains how Europe fell step-by-step, how extremist networks now operate inside the United States, and why national leaders are ignoring the warning signs.

This is not a theory.

This is not a headline scare.

This is happening RIGHT NOW.

What did Europe ignore that we must not ignore?

Why do radical networks target democracies like the U.S.?

How far has this silent takeover progressed already?

And what happens if Americans do nothing?

Brigitte Gabriel breaks it all down — from the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, to Islamic radicalization in Western institutions, to the political influence operations happening inside the U.S. government today.

If we refuse to face the truth, we risk losing the freedoms that make America the greatest nation on earth.

But if we wake up now — if we learn the lessons Europe failed to learn —

  • ➡️America still has a chance.

[Ed.:  Brigitte is awesome!  So too, is her recounting here of the proliferation of Islam.  However, she used a term that is misleading: “radical Islam”.  That is a term that Daniel Pipes coined right after the 9-11-21 attack on the World Trade Center. Pipes is a card-carrying CFR member.  This euphemism, which has since crept into polite speech, implies that there are peaceful moslems, and (other) jihadi warrior moslems who are more radical.  But this is blatantly not true!  The term itself is a deception, a ‘taqiyah’. Islam is Islam.  Islam itself is radical.  Either you believe in it, or they must behead you.  Islam itself must be completely eradicated for this to stop.  We have the past 1,400 years, and every day in the present, to prove it.]

News Release: Ambassadors Huckabee and Friedman Praised for Bondi Beach statements

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 15, 2025 

Bondi Beach Statements by Ambassadors Huckabee and Friedman Praised By Pro-Israel Group

NEW YORK – A leading pro-Israel organization has come out strongly in support of statements about the Islamic terorroist attack on Jews at Bondi Beach made separately by Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Ambassador David Friedman.

Ambassador Huckabee’s comments targeting Anthony Albanese were blunt and correct according to Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI).  Huckabee tweeted “The disgraceful statement from Australia PM never mentioned it was jihadist attack on Jews on first day of Hanukkah.  Hope he’s ashamed of antisemitic statements past year.”

 “Ambassador David M. Friedman is correct to point out that the Australian government failed its Jewish community,” stated Moshe Phillips, Chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel. The ambassador also was right to post on X.com “Massive fail by the Australian police.”

Ambassador David Friedman also tweeted “Deepest condolences to the family of Rabbi Eli Schlanger … Reportedly, Rabbi Schlanger had asked the Australian government to do a better job protecting the Jewish community. His plea apparently fell on deaf ears.”

AFSI echoes Ambassador Friedman’s comment: “I am sick of Jewish holidays that should be celebrated with joy turning into vigils of remembrance for the wounded and the dead. Enough!”

The Farewell We Ignored   MICHAEL T. FLYNN LTG USA (RET)

DEC 14, 2025

In 1796, George Washington did something no powerful man in history had ever done voluntarily. He walked away. He surrendered power not because he was weak but because he understood something timeless that many modern leaders have forgotten. The republic would not survive if ambition replaced virtue and if loyalty to faction replaced loyalty to the Constitution.

Washington’s Farewell Address was not a retirement note. It was a strategic warning written by a commander who had seen nations rise and collapse. He had fought a revolution against tyranny and he feared Americans might recreate it themselves under a different name.

Today, nearly every sentence reads like a prophecy.

Washington opened with humility but moved quickly to urgency. He warned Americans that the unity of the nation was the main pillar of absolute independence. He cautioned that internal divisions would invite external manipulation. He understood that foreign powers would not need armies if they could exploit domestic discord.

That warning alone should stop every modern reader cold.

According to the Pew Research Center, trust in the federal government has fallen from roughly 77 percent in 1964 to under 20 percent today. Confidence in media institutions sits below 30 percent. Public trust in Congress routinely hovers near single digits. A divided people are easier to manage and easier to deceive. Washington knew this before the telegraph existed.

He also issued a direct warning about political parties. Washington wrote that factions would sharpen animosity and open the door to corruption and foreign influence. He did not oppose disagreement. He feared an organized faction becoming an identity stronger than citizenship itself.

James Madison later echoed this concern when he wrote that the causes of faction are sown in the nature of man. Washington saw the effect before Madison defined the theory. Today, Americans increasingly define themselves not by shared principles but by tribal alignment. Algorithms reward outrage. Media profits from division. Foreign adversaries amplify both.

The intelligence community itself has acknowledged that foreign governments actively exploit domestic political polarization. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence reported that Russia, China, and Iran all engage in influence operations designed to deepen distrust among Americans. Washington warned that this would happen. He wrote it plainly.

Washington also warned against permanent foreign entanglements. He did not argue for isolation. He argued for independence of judgment. He believed America should trade with all nations but avoid emotional or ideological alliances that drag the country into conflicts not its own.

Since World War II, the United States has engaged in more than two hundred military interventions, according to Congressional Research Service data. Trillions of dollars have been spent overseas while domestic infrastructure and civic trust eroded at home. Washington feared this exact imbalance. He understood that endless foreign commitments would eventually weaken the republic from within.

Ronald Reagan once said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on. Reagan echoed Washington without citing him. The belief was the same. I now believe that freedom is no more than one presidency away. Liberty is fragile when citizens grow complacent.

Washington also emphasized morality and religion, not as dogma but as cultural anchors. He argued that national morality could not prevail without religious principle. Whether one agrees or not, the data is striking. Studies from the General Social Survey show that civic participation, church attendance, volunteerism, and community trust have all declined steadily since the 1960s. Social capital has collapsed. Washington warned that laws alone cannot sustain freedom if virtue disappears.

Thomas Jefferson later wrote that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. That vigilance begins not in Washington, DC, but in the character of the people themselves. Washington believed that, too. He trusted Americans, but only if they remained educated, engaged, and morally grounded.

Perhaps the most haunting part of the Farewell Address is Washington’s fear that Americans would forget why the republic was created in the first place. He warned that power once centralized would never willingly return to the people. Modern administrative states now issue tens of thousands of regulations annually. According to the Federal Register, over eighty thousand pages of rules were published in recent years. None are voted on by the people.

This is not accidental. It is structural drift. Washington saw the danger before bureaucracy had a name.

What makes the Farewell Address so powerful is not that Washington predicted every modern issue. It is that he understood human nature. He knew ambition, pride, fear, and convenience would tempt citizens to trade liberty for comfort and principle for security.

John Adams warned that the Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people and was wholly inadequate for the government of any other. That was not an insult. It was a responsibility statement.

Washington trusted the people enough to warn them honestly.

You can read the full original Farewell Address here and judge for yourself whether America listened or ignored him.

This speech should not be treated as a historical artifact. It should be treated as a field manual for preserving a republic under stress. Washington did not write to flatter future generations. He wrote to challenge them.

The real question is not whether Washington was right. The evidence suggests he was. The question is whether Americans today still believe they are capable of self-government or whether they have quietly surrendered that duty to factions, institutions, and distant power centers.

Washington walked away so the republic could live.

What are we willing to walk away from to save it now?

 

Bondi Massacre: The Unexpected Alliance Waging War Against The West (Josh Hasten W/Moshe Feiglin)  [27:04]

Dec 14, 2025  Judeacation | JNS TV

Former member of Israel’s Knesset Moshe Feiglin makes a bold claim: the real war isn’t just with Hamas, it’s a global identity war between civilization and two destructive ideologies: radical Islam and progressivism. From the shocking silence of feminist groups on October 7 to the collapse of Israeli deterrence and Western values, Feiglin tears into the ideological rot hollowing out the West and Israel’s own military and political elite. He explains why modern Zionism has lost its soul, why anti-Semitism can’t be fought with Hasbara and why reclaiming Judea, Samaria, Gaza and our faith is the only path forward.

Middle East Expert: “Most People Have No Clue What’s Coming Next…”   [6:23]  Mordechai Kedar

 

He’s Spent 30 YEARS Studying HAMAS — What He REVEALS Is TERRIFYING  [35:36]   Mordechai Kedar

Dec 12, 2025

Dr. Mordechai Kedar has spent more than three decades studying Hamas, Islamic ideology, Iran, and the rise of political Islam. In this explosive interview, he reveals what Hamas truly wants — and why their war has nothing to do with borders or human rights.

👉 This isn’t a political conflict. It’s a religious war.

Hamas believes a Jewish state must never exist — not in Tel Aviv, not in Jerusalem, not anywhere. Their goal is the elimination of Israel and the expansion of a global Islamic caliphate. And if Israel falls… the West will be next.

In this video, Dr. Kedar breaks down:

• Why Hamas says Judaism was “canceled” and must stay dead

• Why Israel is considered the “Small Satan”

• Why America and Europe are the “Big & Middle Satan”

• How Iran uses terror militias to control the Middle East

• Why many Arab states secretly support Israel

• What the fall of Israel would unleash on the world

• The ideological war that the West refuses to see
