Our Unhappy Youth   Anthony Esolen

Many young people appear to have fallen into the most antihuman way of life that any civilization has ever settled into.
February 22, 2024 – 
Young people, we are told, and we have eyes to see it, are unhappy. Those in the pharmaceutical industry are aware of the vein of gold that depression has opened up, with ordinary and unhappy people plying the pickax. That shouldn’t surprise any sensible Christian, who ought to know where some measure of earthly happiness is to be found, even for those who do not know Christ.

For all we have to do is to tweak the question a little, to see what the young are confronting. Instead of asking why they are unhappy, we might ask why they aren’t happy, which might in turn lead us to ask what they have to be happy about. That might reveal to us in all its drabness what appears to be the most antihuman way of life that any civilization has ever settled into: becalmed without rest, somber without sobriety, abstracted without thought, licentious without even the animal vigor of license; ever shouting, but without good cheer.

When I was a lonely young fellow, the outdoors was a comfort to me, even in the coldest days of winter, when I would go into the woods with my dog and tramp along the old mine trails, thinking, and here and there seeing the traces of deer or rabbits on the frozen snow. In the summer, though, everyone was outdoors all the time, to play baseball or many another game; and it is impossible not to forget what you think your troubles are when you are on the mound with two outs and a one-run lead. The action is good for the body, and the play is good for the soul.

 

Western Hypocrisy And The Rules Based International Order When It Comes To Political Prisoners   [14:49]  By Larry Johnson

Feb. 22, 2024 7:00 am – Vladimir Putin and Russia are facing withering Western criticism and threats following the death of a Russian political dissident, Alexey Nalvani, and the arrest of dual Russia/American citizen Ksenia Karelin, a ballerina. Silly Putin. He apparently has failed to grasp that all he has to do is declare these folks MAGA supporters and then he can do what he wants to them and the West will cheer him on.

Okay. Enough sarcasm. Let’s deal with the reality. In my opinion, Alexey Nalvani was considered the leading Russian political dissident by Western pundits and politicians, but at home he was a nobody. Hell, Marianne Williamson may have more support in the United States than Nalvani had in Russia. Nalvani’s only “political” message was to hurl accusations at Putin as a corrupt enabler of oligarchs. Nalvani offered no political vision. His social media accounts rarely delved into political philosophy nor did he offer a vision of something along the lines, Make Russia Great Again.

When Nalvani did take time to record his political views using a video platform, his message was shocking and disquieting. He described Muslims — all, not just some — as cockroaches that needed to be exterminated. Think about that for a moment and ask yourself, “What the hell are the Western politicians who are heaping praise on Nalvani thinking?” I thought all of these wokesters are supposed to be against racists. Yet, here they are mourning the death of an ultra-Russian nationalist who enthusiastically embraced the most vile racist beliefs. Not the first time that Joe Biden has lamented the passing of a racist — remember his remarks about the late Senator Robert Byrd, the former head of the Ku Klux Klan in West Virginia?

Take time to read Scott Ritter’s excellent piece describing the real Alexey Nalvani. You can find it here. Nalvani, in short, was a tool of Western intelligence. I do not know if he was witting or unwitting, but he served Western interests eager to see Russia dismantled and Putin destroyed.

As far as tiny dancer Ksenia Karelina is concerned, she is a law breaker. She donated $50 to the Ukrainian Army. So what? Why should that be a crime? So let’s explore that question from a Western perspective. Is it okay for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to contribute money to ISIS? Would it be okay for a dual Israeli/Jordanian citizen to give dollars to Hamas? Of course not. Providing financial support to groups or persons who murder your own citizens is morally unjustified. But here is the big difference — Russia passed legislation and it was signed into law by Vladimir Putin prohibiting the provision of financial support to the Ukrainian military. Looks like the Russian judicial system actually believes in the principle of enforcing laws.

The United States no longer has any moral authority to lecture or hector foreign countries about persecuting political opponents. We now know that the CIA and the FBI, along with the Department of Justice, were weaponized to attack and try to destroy Donald Trump. He still faces the threat of being put in prison for challenging a fraudulent election. An election that was rife with outside interference. Only it was not the Russians nor the Chinese — it was the Deep State intelligence and law enforcement bureaucracy in the United States.

So far over 1,200 American citizens have been arrested and charged with crimes for the simple act of walking into the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Washington establishment continues to push the lie that these people attacked and bludgeoned Capitol Hill police. That is bullshit. The only ones who did any killing that day were the law enforcement personnel and none have been held to account.

Before the United States says one more word of condemnation about political oppression in Russia, it needs to get its own house in order and put an end to its relentless persecution of Donald Trump and his supporters. Otherwise, Uncle Sam should just shut up.

This is the foundation of what I presented in the following video.  

 

WAYNE ROOT: Everyone Has Missed Real Revelation of the Durham Report: Obama is the REAL ‘Big Guy.’ Obama is the Criminal Mastermind. Obama Committed Treason.   By Wayne Allyn Root

May. 19, 2023 11:40 am – We are living in an age of mass deception, distraction and denial, of mass brainwashing. We might as well all be living in Jonestown, Guyana and following the orders of Jim Jones.

That’s how bad it is. It’s all laid out right in front of us. But no one can see it. Or maybe no one wants to see it. The Durham Report is “the canary in the coal mine.”

It’s all Obama. It’s always been Obama. Obama is the REAL “Big Guy.” Obama is the REAL criminal mastermind. Obama was the head of the snake. Obama was the John Gotti of the US government, overseeing a massive criminal conspiracy. Obama was the head of the “Obama Crime Family.”

Obama committed TREASON.

And the worst part of all: Obama’s still in charge. Obama is pulling all the strings. He’s the one calling the shots. He’s the ventriloquist, speaking for the wooden dummy puppet Joe Biden. Obama is the real President of the United States, back for his third term.

I warned and predicted from the first day Obama appeared on the scene that my old Columbia University classmate was a Manchurian candidate, a radical Marxist put in place by the Deep State and globalist billionaires to destroy America.

In my #1 bestselling book back in 2013, “The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide” I reported Obama’s plan was to “boil the frog slowly.” To destroy America in small steps, to move so slowly that we wouldn’t notice we were being destroyed, until it was too late. Hillary Clinton was supposed to finish the job. Hillary’s election was supposed to be Obama’s third term.

But Donald J. Trump came along and ruined the plan. Trump became the first politician in history to beat a rigged election. That’s why Hillary and Democrats were so shocked. Obama rigged it, so Hillary could not lose.

How did Obama do that? In addition to the usual Democrat tricks of stuffing the ballot box in Democrat run inner cities, with no Voter ID and no signature match, Obama spied on the Trump campaign.

But Trump brought out more working and middle-class voters than any candidate in history. He beat the rig. He won even though Obama spied on him. Even though Obama knew everything Trump was doing and planning- and gave it all to Hillary.

Enter Russia Collusion.

See the Durham Report. We now know for a fact this was a fraud made up by Hillary. We also know that Hillary laid out this scam to Obama and Biden in the Oval Office. Obama gave his approval. Then Obama rigged the game even further- making sure his handpicked DOJ and FBI would never prosecute these high crimes.

Obama also made sure they’d continue spying on the now President Trump. And use the weaponized federal government filled with Obama hacks to target, frame, demonize and destroy Trump the president.

But wait, there’s more. I may despise Obama, but I also respect him. Because he’s brilliant. He ran the country like John Gotti ran his crime family. Nothing happened under Obama without him knowing.

So, when Durham reports Obama’s FBI was not allowed to prosecute Hillary for her Clinton Foundation crimes (extorting world leaders), obviously Obama gave that order too. Obama knew everything Hillary was doing- she was his Secretary of State. And you can bet Obama got a piece of her corrupt loot in return for allowing her to do it, and for killing any DOJ/FBI investigations.

And if Obama knew about Hillary’s crimes extorting world leaders, you can also bet he knew about the Joe Biden “Big Guy” scam. Joe was his Vice President. You think Joe and his slimy son Hunter ran around the world extorting money from world leaders and Obama didn’t know about it? You can bet Obama got a piece of Biden’s corruption too.

Just like John Gotti. The mafia Don always gets a piece of every scam run by the capos under him. Or they get wacked.

And where was all the corrupt loot run out of? The Clinton Foundation. That’s why it was based offshore- far away from prying eyes. As one more layer of protection, Obama ordered the DOJ and FBI to look the other way.

This is all called TREASON.

Obama, Hillary and Joe Biden used the power of the federal government as their own mafia extortion operation. Hillary and Biden were the capos who carried out the crimes, thereby keeping Obama’s hands clean. Obama gave them full license to steal, and free from prosecution. In poker it’s called a “free roll.”

 

The Orchestrated Take Down Of Boeing, And American Aviation   By L Todd Wood

February 21, 2024 – As a trained aeronautical engineer and a former USAF pilot, the situation with American aviation and its manufacturing capability, once the crown jewel of American technocracy, is disturbing and dangerous.

While on a Wall Street emerging market trading desk, I was never good at the ‘day to day’, but could spot long-term trends and narratives very easily.

Right now, I see an orchestrated take-down of American aviation and one of its major contractors — Boeing.

I am sounding the alarm from a national security perspective.

Yes, DEI and Maoism have infected the company, and interrupted their quality control process, but I believe there is something much deeper going on.

The recent incident with the slats on a Boeing 757-200 coming apart is only the most recent evidence.

Much of this may just be incompetence, a consequence of cultural Marxism, but there also seems to be an orchestrated takedown of Boeing in process.

The CCP, and its American traitorous enablers, likely have agents purposefully conducting this campaign to destroy Boeing’s business line and reputation.

The consistency of the bad news breaks against Boeing seem to be scheduled to deliver a drip, drip, drip of negative press against the corporation.

Our infiltrated Federal government will do nothing of course. However, this apparent campaign against the American industrial base needs to be a high priority for the new administration in January.

AVIATION,    BOEING,    MTN,    TREASON,    UNRESTRICTED WARFARE

 

How the US Abandoned Israel under Biden   by Robert Williams

February 22, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • “Israel must again be a safe place for the Jewish people. And I promise you: We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure that it will be.” — US President Joe Biden, October 18, 2023.
  • It did not take long, however, for the Biden administration to completely turn that promise on its head. The reversal began with US demands on Israel to scale down military operations, which were already scaled down….
  • “Israel implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other nation in history…. Israel’s use of real phone calls to civilians in combat areas (19,734), SMS texts (64,399) and pre-recorded calls (almost 6 million) to provide instructions on evacuations is also unprecedented.” — John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute, United States Military Academy West Point, newsweek.com, January 31, 2024
  • The only relevant country that has apparently not been invited to the “urgent” discussions [to reward terrorists unilaterally with a soon-to-be-militarized Palestinian State] is Israel.
  • Biden, clearly, seems not that intent on making Israel or the Free World a safe place again. At least not if it might compromise his reelection.

How Muslims Transformed Jerusalem into a Sacred City for Islam   By Alex Grobman PhD.

11 Adar I 5784 – February 20, 2024

President Donald Trump’s historic decision on December 6, 2017 to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city has elicited a torrent of negative and positive responses. The essential point in Trump’s statement is:

“Today, we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. This is nothing more, or less than a recognition of reality.”

Lost in the debate are a number of questions: What constitutes a capital city; when did Jerusalem become Israel’s capital; what is the Jewish relationship to Jerusalem; how did Jerusalem assume such a significant position in Islam?

The National Geographic Society defines a capital as “a city where a region’s government is located. This is where government buildings are and where government leaders work.” According to this definition, Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. The Knesset, Israel’s legislative branch of government, Supreme Court, and the official residences of the Prime Minister and the President are in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is Israel’s Eternal Capital

When King David established Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city circa 1000 BCE, Jerusalem became the center of the Jewish nation’s sovereignty. Throughout Jewish history, the city has remained Israel’s capital. The centrality of Jerusalem for Jews is mirrored in their daily prayers, holidays, rituals and fervent appeals to G-d for her restoration.

For Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Jerusalem never lost her eternal sanctity. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel explained how Zionism was “born out of memory, out of ritual and prayer, out of faith in the promise, out of loyalty to the biblical command never to forget our origin, our link, never to relinquish hope for Zion and Jerusalem.”

At weddings, among the most joyous events in one’s life, Jews recite Psalm 127: “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.”

How, When and Why did Jerusalem Evolve into an Important Muslim City?

 

WATCH: O’Keefe Strikes Again – IRS Official Tells O’Keefe Media Group Reporter That the IRS uses AI to Spy on Americans’ Bank Accounts: Is It Constitutional? “I doubt it,” says IRS Official Alex Mena   By Jordan Conradson

Feb. 21, 2024 4:40 pm – O’Keefe Media Group has infiltrated the IRS!

According to Alex Mena, an IRS official with the criminal investigations unit in New York, who met with O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover journalist, the IRS uses artificial intelligence technology to spy on American citizens and company bank accounts without a warrant or evidence to uncover what they consider fraud.

According to the source, the IRS is “going after the small people” and “destroying people’s lives.” All of the agents are “like robots,” said Mena.

This is quite ironic, as The Gateway Pundit recently reported that O’Keefe Media Group exposed the No Mas Muertes (No More Deaths) organization, a nonprofit and ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, for smuggling illegal immigrants from the border in Arizona.

This 501(c)(3) organization holds a tax-exempt status for hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, but the IRS is targeting innocent Americans!

James O’Keefe is breaking down his latest release on his weekly X space below:

 

IRS Official: “No Problem Going After Small People, Destroying Lives” Use of AI “Unconstitutional”   [14:32]   O’Keefe Media Group

Feb 21, 2024BREAKING: IRS official Alex Mena who works in “criminal investigations” says IRS ‘has no problem going after the small people, putting people in prison, and destroying people’s lives.’

Mena ‘doubts the constitutionality’ of his employer, the IRS, using AI to access everybody’s bank accounts nationwide.  Mena recalls IRS agents stating “…the first person you shoot you’re gonna remember, but after that you’re gonna shoot like a hundred people, you’re not gonna remember any of them.”

He says IRS agents “are assholes…they are the definition of an asshole, all of them.”  [Emphasis added]

The Return Of Donald J Trump | Victor Davis Hanson   [2:59]   John Anderson

Feb 20, 2024Victor Davis Hanson unpacks Donald Trump’s comeback after January 6th, mounting criminal charges and multiple impeachments, and how this compares to Biden.

Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, columnist, and farmer. He has been a commentator on contemporary politics for the National Review and The Washington Times and is currently the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

In addition to writing hundreds of articles, book reviews and newspaper editorials, Hanson is also the author of twenty-four books and hosts a regular podcast series, ‘The Victor Davis Hanson Show’. Hanson was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2007 by President George W. Bush, and was a presidential appointee in 2007-08 on the American Battle Monuments Commission. His latest book, The Dying Citizen, was published in October 2021. And his next book, soon to be released on May the 7th this year, The End of Everything, How Wars Descend Into Annihilation.

The podcast features John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world’s foremost thought leaders about today’s pressing social, cultural and political issues.

[Ed.:  Of course they’d kill him before letting him be President “at this point”…  Pray for his protection from our Creator, The Master of the universe!]

“The Outrageous Persecution of Julian Assange”   JOHN LEAKE

U.S. Deep State presses to extradite its Australian nemesis

FEB 21, 2024 – Back in 2010, when Wikileaks published half a million documents relating to the U.S. government’s idiotic wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, I predicted it was just a matter of time before Julian Assange was accused of a crime and arrested.

Daniel Ellsberg and Seymour Hersh had gotten away with reporting U.S. military misadventures in Vietnam, but in 2010, I sensed that Assange—an Australian citizen who frequently traveled abroad—would probably end up in jail. By then, the U.S. Deep State had assumed the fearful symmetry of the ravenous wolf that it is today.

Sure enough, not long after the military documents were released, rape allegations surfaced in Sweden. Though the charges were initially dropped due to lack of evidence, a month later, Sweden’s chief prosecutor reopened them and issued an international arrest warrant for Assange.

Nine years later, the U.S government indicted Assange for charges relating to Wikileaks’s publication of classified documents. Now the U.S. government is pressing for his extradition from the United Kingdom.

The Mises Institute just published a splendid essay titled The Outrageous Persecution of Julian Assange. I highly recommend reading it.

 

US and Israel facing the mutual threat of Islamic terrorism   Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger
February 21, 2024 – *FBI Director Christopher A. Wray visited Israel on February 14, 2024, during the Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah wars, meeting with leaders of the Mossad, Israel’s Secret Service, and Israel’s National Police in order to benefit from Israel’s unique urban and tunnel warfare experience and battle tactics in the war against Islamic terrorists, who are advancing the vision of Iran’s Ayatollahs and the Moslem Brotherhood.

*Director Wray considers Israel’s as the most effective battle-tested laboratory of the US armed forces, law enforcement agencies and defense industries.

*Director Wray is aware of the Ayatollahs’ and Hezbollas’ growing entrenchment in Mexico, along the US-Mexico border and throughout Latin America. In fact, since the early 1980s, Iran’s Ayatollahs and Hezbollah have entrenched themselves in Latin America, bolstering collaboration with the drug cartels of Mexico, Columbia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Brazil, all Latin American terror organizations, and each anti-US Latin American government. They supply the drug cartels underground tunnel construction equipment, and train them in the areas of car bombs and Improvised Explosive Devices. In addition, they have leveraged the convoys of illegal aliens from Guatemala to the US-Mexico border, smuggling terrorists and drug traffickers into the US.

*Islamic terrorism has targeted the US since the early 19th century irrespective of US policy and independent of the identity of the US President.  Thus, Islamic terrorism afflicted the US during the presidencies of both Trump and Obama, G.W. Bush and Clinton, Reagan and Carter.

*Hamas is a branch of the Moslem Brotherhood – the largest Sunni terror organization with religious, educational and welfare branches – whose charter aims to topple all national Islamic regimes, establish a universal Islamic society, bring the Western “infidel” – and especially the USA – to submission, and establish Islam as the only legitimate and divinely-ordained religion.

*Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran’s Ayatollahs, whose Constitution highlights a megalomaniacal vision, which stipulates the toppling of all “apostate” (Sunni) regimes, asserting itself globally – beyond the Persian Gulf, the Middle East, Europe and Africa, all the way to Latin America – and bringing the “infidel” West, and especially “The Great American Satan” to submission.

*Since February 1979, when it toppled the Shah of Iran, the Ayatollahs’ regime has transformed Iran from “The American Policeman of the Gulf” to the leading anti-US epicenter of global terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering and the proliferation of advanced military systems.

*Israel’s war against Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism has bolstered the US’ defense against Islamic terrorism.

*On November 15, 2023, Director Christopher Wray testified at the House Committee on Homeland Security:

“The war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the US to a whole other level…. Since October 7th, we’ve seen a rogue gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies. Hezbollah threatened to attack US interests in the Middle East. Al-Qaida issued specific calls to attack the US. Al-Qaida called on jihadists to attack Americans and Jewish people everywhere. ISIS urged its followers to target Jewish communities in the US and Europe.

 

Tension Erupts on The Five as Jeanine Pirro, Greg Gutfeld, and Jesse Watters Destroy Radical Left Co-Host on Live TV Following Judge Engoron’s Egregious Ruling Against Trump   (VIDEO  6:06)   By Jim Hft

Feb. 20, 2024 4:30 pm – A heated exchange erupted on Fox News’ “The Five” as co-hosts debated the implications of an egregious decision by New York judge Arthur Engoron against former President Donald Trump.

The panel discussion took a fiery turn when Jeanine Pirro, Greg Gutfeld, and Jesse Watters clashed with their Democrat co-host Jessica Tarlov over the ruling and broader issues affecting New York.

The ruling levied fines of over $350 million and enforced a three-year ban on Trump from holding executive office or securing loans from New York banks.

Jeanine Pirro, a former judge, vehemently criticized the handling of Trump’s fraud case.

“This Leticia James is out of control. She is unethical. She is inept. You do not pick a person and say, ‘I will find a crime. I don’t like you. I’m going to find…’ We’ve got all this crime going out here, and this woman’s after Donald Trump. Shame on her and all of them,” said Pirro.

The conversation then shifted to Democrat co-host Jessica Tarlov, who countered by emphasizing the legal implications of Trump’s actions and the need to uphold the law against falsifying business records and committing insurance fraud.

“I assume they’ve thought about this long enough that they have a good answer for that. But basically, everyone who is defending Donald Trump in this, from Kevin O’Leary to some folks here, is saying it is okay to falsify your business records, to issue false financial statements, to commit conspiracy for insurance fraud,” said Tarlov.

However, the debate quickly escalated as Tarlov and Pirro clashed over the specifics of Trump’s financial dealings, with Tarlov insinuating that Trump maintained three sets of books for various purposes—a claim that Pirro challenged.

Tarlov then mentioned about the January 6 event and the FBI raid in Mar-a-Lago.

“So since Donald Trump ran the first time, he has been making this argument, ‘If they could do this to me, they could do this to you.’ The average person is not inflating their wealth by 800 million to $2.2 billion. They’re not sexually assaulting women. They’re not storing classified documents in the toilet. They’re not fomenting an insurrection,” said Tarlov.

Gutfeld joined the fray by drawing an analogy between contract negotiations and Trump’s situation, suggesting that aggressive bargaining doesn’t equate to breaking the law. “There is no fraud here, which is why you’re bringing up other stuff,” Gutfeld directed at Tarlov.

Watters then weighed in, arguing that Tarlov lacked an understanding of real estate, finance, and the legal complexities involved in such cases. He staunchly defended Trump’s impact on New York City, lambasting Letitia James for not addressing street crime and targeting political adversaries instead.

“Jessica knows nothing about real estate, real estate valuations, real estate development, the IRS, or getting loans from big banks to develop skylines in New York City. Donald Trump did more for New York City than a thousand Leticia James has done,” said Watters.

“Then her phony friend, Alvin Bragg, if you just try to defend yourself working at a bodega or on the subway, he goes after you. That’s why 160 businesses have left New York. That’s why almost a million New Yorkers have left. This is an unsafe climate if you have a certain political opinion. It’s why companies don’t do business in Venezuela, Russia, and Pakistan, because it’s corrupt. Because if you’re on the other side of the political people that are in power at the time, they’ll target your business.”

Watters extended the debate to national politics, drawing comparisons between the scrutiny of Trump and the business dealings of the Biden crime family. He called for equal treatment under the law, highlighting accusations of tax fraud and improper foreign dealings by the Bidens.

Arafat’s next successor another reason why a Palestinian state will be a disaster – opinion   By MOSHE PHILLIPS

The immediate release of terrorists incarcerated by Israel has remained a repeated demand by Hamas and recently, it added Barghouti to the list of those who must be freed.

FEBRUARY 19, 2024 02:35 – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken returned to the Middle East this month saying: “One, there needs to be calm in Gaza; two, there needs to be a clear and credible pathway to a Palestinian state.” But who would lead Blinken’s Palestinian state and why?

On February 4, The Jerusalem Post reported, “[Marwan] Barghouti is a popular figure in Palestinian politics, with many seeing him as a successor to 88-year-old Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas.”

Abbas is a member of Fatah and has been in power since the 2004 death of terrorist leader Yasser Arafat.

Barghouti has been a leading figure in Fatah for decades and joined when he was just 15, more than 50 years ago. A convicted mass murderer, Barghouti has been jailed since 2002. He was found guilty in an Israeli civilian court of 26 charges of murder and attempted murder of both Israeli civilians and soldiers. He is not a political prisoner. Barghouti is well known and electable, and the Associated Press reported in December 2023 that “the most popular politician remains Marwan Barghouti.”

The immediate release of terrorists incarcerated by Israel has remained a repeated demand by Hamas and recently, it added Barghouti to the list of those who must be freed.

This should be interpreted as both highly significant and surprising. Hamas’s push for Barghouti as a replacement for Abbas may be based on the assumption that America and Europe believe Barghouti to be someone they will be able to collaborate easily with to create a state.

Leader of rival faction to Hamas

And yet, Barghouti was never a member of Hamas. Why should Hamas want a leader of a rival faction to be the president of Palestine?

 

Whatever Democrats Say, Trust the Opposite is True   By Pamela Geller

February 19, 2024 – Every horror the left has inflicted on this once great nation is always, always. blamed on the Republicans. This is be design. Such perfidy and dishonesty would not be possible without their running dogs in academia and the Democrat media axis. For Democrats, reality is the biggest enemy they face.

Most troubling of all is  the Democrat election machinery — immense, meticulous, with its tentacles everywhere – even in the RINO GOP.

Declassified: Mayorkas and Biden Impeachment Process Details  [18:22]   Mark Levin Show

February 19, 2024 – Those who say Alejandro Mayorkas shouldn’t have been impeached no nothing about the constitution. The Framers defined high crimes and misdemeanors as a category of political crimes against the state– an attack on the civil society, on the culture, and on our governing system. Whether you are President or a cabinet member, you take an oath to uphold the Constitution. If you go rogue and violate federal law, that is a political crime against the body politic. And it’s exactly what Mayorkas is doing at the border. Now it’s Biden’s turn to face the music.

A nation of patsies     TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

FEB 19, 2024 – DYLAN ALLMAN: 60 years ago, the CIA murdered the sitting President of the United States in broad daylight. The media was in on it the whole time. And I am going to prove it to you here once and for all.

On November 22, 1963, not only did President John F. Kennedy die, but so did our free press … and as we have seen and continue to experience, so did our hopes for world peace. Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefitted? Who had the power to cover it up? Let’s start from the beginning.

What are the origins of the CIA? What was its purpose? Well, in 1947, the US had no enemies to speak of after WWII. There was no reason to create such a monstrous new agency unless the major objective was to create machinery to be able to control foreign policy in the United States. The legislation creating it was not drawn up by an intelligence man; it was drawn up by a Wall Street man, James Forrestal. In 1949, Forrestal was Truman’s Secretary of Defense.

However, as soon as Forrestal began questioning US foreign policy, he was immediately committed to the psychiatric wing of the Bethesda Naval Hospital. And like clockwork, on May 22, he supposedly leaped 13 stories to his death. That was likely the first instance of the CIA ‘suiciding’ someone they wanted gone.

It is important to note that President Kennedy inherited the dangerous and growing Military-Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned about in his farewell speech in 1961.

Kennedy also inherited the imperialist empire-building foreign policy that had already been successfully implemented around the world by the CIA. The CIA was no stranger to meddling with foreign regimes. They had many successful coups under their belt at this point: IranGuatemala, you name it. David Atlee Philips, the CIA’s Chief of Western Hemisphere Operations, even bragged that it was all easy. He said in an interview:

“In 1953, a few CIA people managed to make some changes in Iran that President Eisenhower liked very much.”

“In 1954, a few of us in Guatemala made some changes. It seemed almost without effort.”

 

Hohmann: The Second American Civil War Is Starting   by Leo Hohmann

Feb. 19, 2024 7:30 am – American society is spinning out of control: What you need to do now to prepare for massive civil unrest and violence

It doesn’t take any brilliant analytical mind to discern that American society is losing its rudder and that there are powerful forces seeking to divide us at a critical juncture, provoking us to civil war.

After decades of ideological attacks on our gatekeeping institutions by globalists with no allegiance to this country, America’s sense of identity and purpose is dangerously close to dead.

A country without a cohesive identity is a country ripe for manipulation, division and ultimately war among its factions.

When the elites feel their power slipping, which I believe they do, that’s when they adopt a “burn it all down” mentality. Gaslighting in the media, finger pointing and scapegoating all play into the strategy and we’ve seen plenty of that over the last few years.

But it’s not just America. It’s Western civilization as a whole that is withering. And when civilizations implode, everyone suffers. The good, the bad, and the indifferent.

Many of my Christian friends say not to worry, everything will work itself out just fine. God’s in control. I read history and see that just because God is in control doesn’t mean that His followers won’t suffer persecution, even to the point of death.

But there is a difference between dying for your faith and dying just because you walked into an unfortunate situation in a public space that you thought was safe. Maybe it always was safe before, but now isn’t. Or, maybe you discover the hard way that your home appeared as low-hanging fruit for a professional criminal or gang of criminals. They attack and you’re caught off guard.

What I’m saying is, the world is about to become a much more dangerous place, both at home and abroad.

What starts in Europe eventually comes here, and civil uprisings are gaining steam across the European continent. France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Spain have all seen tremendous civil unrest as people are waking up to the global con being waged against them by power-hungry globalist Luciferians using the climate as a their excuse to drastically curtail freedoms of speech, press, assembly and movement, not to mention privacy invasions.

[Ed.:  It’s not “Civil War”. Leo titled it wrong! A civil war is between the citizens, think war between Democrats and Republicans. War between the citizens and illegal invaders is called self-defense. If the citizens go to war with their own government, then it’s called “Revolution”.]

 

Inquisition 2.0     MICHOEL GREEN

FEB 18, 2024 – Breaking news:
The Stalinist State of NY has just unleashed its wrathful inquisition against the Marrano Jews of Kiryath Joel.
As history has repeatedly demonstrated, it NEVER helps to feign compliance.

Between 1391 and 1496 CE, hundreds of thousands of Jews submitted to baptism in Spain and Portugal in attempt to save their lives, assets, and avoid expulsion. This ended up being a grave error, as these conversos and their descendants were subjected to horrific persecution in subsequent generations at the merciless hands of the Catholic Inquisition. The illusion of relief earned by their compliance was short-lived and transitory. It ultimately resulted in auto-da-fé and the hellfires of the Inquisition.
In contrast, Iberian Jews who defied the Church and demonstrated moral fortitude to remain Jews fared much better historically. They may have barely survived with their lives, and might have lost many loved ones to savage hordes, but they were ultimately able to regroup and rebuild their communities on freer shores around the Mediterranean rim. Every Sephardi Jew today is living evidence of their courage and defiance.
The same is true with Jews whose ancestors settled in Franco-Germanic lands. Every Jew of Ashkenazic background today is living testimony to his/her ancestors’ selfless resistance to Catholic persecution, bloody Crusades, Blood Libels, banishments, etc.
But alas! In 2019, barely five centuries later, countless descendants of these heroic Jews capitulated en masse to modern-day state persecution. “Vaccinate,” ordered the Public Health tyrants, “or you will lose all state funding!”
Given the prohibitively high cost of living in NY State, that order was akin to saying: “Vaccinate or we’ll shut you down!”, which is basically the same idea as “Baptize or we’ll drive you out!”
Tragically, the majority of Jewish communities capitulated to this Orwellian dictate, forcing parents to vaccinate their young children with all sorts of mandated injections as a condition to school attendance. Unvaccinated (& under-vaccinated) children were discriminated against and banned from school.

 

How they rigged election against Trump: This is the most important Tucker Carlson interview that I have watched since 2020 – Shocking censorship in America    [1:04:45]   SIMON ATEBA

FEB 18, 2024 – This is perhaps the most important interview that you will watch ahead of the 2024 elections, and if nothing is done, Donald Trump might not win.

It’s even worse than most people already know. The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States of America.

It’s not worth writing long posts here. Just watch

 

WAYNE ROOT: LET “THE GREAT NEW YORK CITY BOYCOTT” BEGIN. CONSERVATIVES TO NEW YORK: “DROP DEAD.”    By Wayne Allyn Root

Feb. 18, 2024 12:00 pm – The greatest President of my lifetime, who loves this country and wants to make it great again, was just framed and publicly lynched by the government, politicians, prosecutors and court system of New York City.

Trust me, New York City is going to wish they never played this game. They may not know it yet, but New York City just committed financial suicide.

Stay tuned for a strategy to bring New York City to its knees.

I was born and raised in New York. I graduated from Columbia University in New York City. My first apartment as an adult was in New York City. Even in the past three decades since I left, I’ve looked forward to my many business trips each year to New York.

I’ve always been proud of being from New York. I’ve given business speeches around the world about using “New York Attitude” to enjoy mega-success in the business world. All ex-New Yorkers live forever in Billy Joel’s words, “in a New York state of mind.”

Not anymore. New York is now dead to me.

New York City has become a cesspool of mental illness, wokeness, communism, and hatred towards conservatives and patriots.

Even worse, the Democrat politicians of New York suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” As a result, they have weaponized New York government against President Trump in a way that represents a combination of Soviet KGB, East German Stasi, and Nazi Gestapo.

The time to stop this madness is now- before it gets far worse. Today it’s Trump. Tomorrow it’s you and me. New York City must be made an example. So this never happens again in America.

And I know how to do it.

I wrote the books on how to stop this Marxist woke madness- by boycotting, punishing and defunding the companies on the left.

Both my books were #1 bestsellers- “The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book” and “The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book.” The latter was endorsed by President Trump.

 

The Ultimate Guide to the Biden Administration’s Betrayal of Israel   BENJAMIN WEINGARTEN

A comprehensive timeline of the White House’s post-Oct. 7 words and deeds eviscerating the claim it has Israel’s back — let alone America’s

                                                                                          Bibi, Blinken, and Biden (3B’s) – Getting Nowhere Fast

FEB 16, 2024 – The notion that President Joe Biden is a stalwart supporter of Israel, let alone acting in the best interests of the U.S. in the Middle East, is and has been a complete and total canard.

This Big Lie, propagated by the administration and its mouthpieces, provides cover for what amounts to an anti-American plot to put the screws to Israel, as part and parcel of an effort to make the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, Iran, the regional hegemon.

Since Oct. 7th, a Holocaust-in-a-day perpetrated by Iran’s proxy Hamas, despite initial rhetoric to the contrary and the continued provision of munitions (for now), the Biden administration has shown in word and more importantly deed that it is doing everything it possibly can within political reason to slander, stymie, sabotage, and ultimately imperil the very existence of our chief ally in the Middle East.

What follows is an effort to chronicle the Biden administration’s treachery towards Israel, culminating of late in a press to force the Jewish state to effectively lose the war to Hamas, free hundreds if not thousands of jihadists, and reward a Palestinian Arab population overwhelmingly supportive of the Oct. 7 massacre and Hamas with a state in a bid to “sue for peace” with Iran.

This timeline should serve as the death knell of the false narrative that President Biden supports the Jewish state – and more fundamentally that he is representing the interests of the American people over those of our worst adversaries.

 

CHAPTER 6: “An Unaware and Compliant Citizenry”   by Linda Goudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is [upcoming release April 2024]
February 18, 2024 – Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite themselves. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

We have discussed the weaponization of education in American schools and its sinister political objective to eliminate high literacy, individual agency, and independent intelligence. Dr. Dennis Cuddy, historian and political analyst, wrote an extraordinary article published on NewsWithViews, April 26, 2021, “An Unaware and Compliant Citizenry.”[i]

Cuddy documents the seismic shift in public education’s mission, from teaching basic skills and foundational knowledge to teachers acting as agents of social change and teaching political activism. The following are excerpts from the article:

The Clintons’ and others’ efforts to “produce an unaware and compliant citizenry” began with the National Education Association (NEA), whose President Catherine Barrett wrote in the February 10, 1973 edition of SATURDAY REVIEW OF EDUCATION:

Mike Benz Stuns Tucker Carlson With Eye-Opening Insights on Government Censorship  [3:39]   THE VIGILANT FOX

FEB 17, 2024 – The censorship technologies originally intended for terrorist organizations have been weaponized against the American people.

TUCKER CARLSON: “So you’re saying the Pentagon, our Pentagon, the US Department of Defense, censored Americans during the 2020 election cycle?”

MIKE BENZ: “Yes. The two most censored events in human history, I would argue, to date, are the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Benz calls artificial intelligence-based censorship technologies, which were created by DARPA to take on ISIS, “WEAPONS OF MASS DELETION.”

That technology, Benz says, has “the ability to censor tens of millions of posts with just a few lines of code.”

Benz detailed how the government-funded Virality Project identified 66 dissident narratives related to COVID-19, breaking them down into sub-claims for monitoring and censorship through machine learning models, aiming to control the spread of information harmful to official narratives or individuals like Tony Fauci.

Benz added, “And whenever something started to trend that was bad for what the Pentagon wanted or was bad for what Tony Fauci wanted, they were able to take down tens of millions of posts. They did this in the 2020 election with mail-in ballots.”

The End of Democracy: “What I’m Describing is Military Rule”   [1:04:45]    ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS

Mike Benz” “It’s the inversion of democracy.”

FEB 17, 2024 – If you wish to understand how democracy ended in the United States and the European Union, please watch this interview with Tucker Carlson and Mike Benz. It is full of the most stunning revelations that I have heard in a very long time.

The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. “What I’m describing is military rule,” says Mike Benz. “It’s the inversion of democracy.”

I have also included a transcript of the above interview. In the interests of time – this is AI generated. So, there still could be little glitches – I will continue to clean up the text over the next day or two.
Note: Tucker (who I consider a friend) has given me permission to directly upload the video above and transcript below – he wrote this morning in response to my request:

“Oh gosh, I hope you will. It’s important”.

Honestly, it is critical that this video be seen by as many people as possible.

So, please share this video interview and transcript.

Five points to consider that you might overlook;
