The World, As Seen By The Elites By Sigrid Weidenweber
March 17, 2023 – Sometimes the German language, with its long, put-together super-words, has retained an expression that is perfect to describe a phenomenon or a person. To characterize some people in my article, the German and Africaans word Grosskopfetig, meaning fat headedness, describes many of our world elites perfectly. It has been said, time and again, that their heads are swollen with self-importance. First among those is the Swiss-German professor Klaus Schwab. An engineer-cum-economist by trade, he single-handed developed a concept of how to run the world better, than all the other bright minds had done before him for centuries.
In this righteous belief of his mental superiority, he became the founder of the World Economic Forum. An astounding feat considering that it was a Forum of one. Not only that but his Forum was based in Switzerland, far away from the centers of the leading minds of the day.
In his belief that he can change the economies of the civilized world he is not alone. People like Marx, Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot also clearly believed that they could change the world according to the model residing in their minds. Unfortunately, for the rest of the world, and its different populations, the change was always accomplished with a horrific loss of lives, and the following periods of trauma, poverty and endless misery.
But let us return to World Economic Forum, henceforth, the (WEF). Klaus managed to attract many of the super-rich. The foundation is funded by 1000 member companies, which typically operate with more than five billion dollars in turnover funds, followed by entrepreneurs, dignitaries, royalty and others. His six percent ownership of the Charles Schwab Corp., the discount brokerage he founded in 1971 (editor’s note: we cannot find anything to support this statement), leaving him with $25- $100 billion, was an attractive enough incentive to seek membership in the WEF for the elites. After all, one could only gain in stature and profit belonging to an organization that would change the world to ones wishes.
Headquartered in Davos, Switzerland, the WEF declares itself to be the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. This declaration in itself is already problematic. I, and many others, see in the co-mingling of private and public goals dichotomies that arise from the simple reasoning about whose interests and goals will be achieved and whose will be thwarted by this forum? Already at this point, one can foretell that the private interests with their small elites will define and control the wants and wishes of the large public entities.
Another look at the Book of Kohelet Jack Engelhard
The Holocaust in the age of forgetfulness. Op-ed.
Mar 22, 2023, 3:36 PM (GMT+2) – As many times as I have read the Book of Ecclesiastes (Kohelet), mostly now do I appreciate the gravity of its message…” A generation goes and a generation comes.”
King Solomon speaks directly to those of us who find our days slipping past, we, the generation that goes.
The clock keeps ticking, the calendar keeps turning, another Passover is coming, and we keep wondering.

Of course there Is no Arab “Palestinian” People and there never was an Arab “Palestine.” Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer
The dizzying repetition of that Big Lie for so many decades causes people who should know better to speak of a “Two-State Solution.” Op-ed.
Mar 22, 2023, 1:45 PM (GMT+2) – Of course Minister Bezalel Smotrich is correct. Of course there is no Arab “Palestinian” people and never was an Arab “Palestine.” It all is a fraud. It’s just a fact. Repeat the truth: There never was an Arab political entity of “Palestine” and never a “Palestinian Arab nation.” The dizzying repetition of that Big Lie for so many decades causes people who should know better to speak of a “Two-State Solution.” But that very notion is illogical, absurd, nonsensical.
People say it without thinking about it: “The Two-State Solution.” What are they talking about? Given America’s never-ending nightmares in purgatory-holes like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, and Lebanon — does it really advance American interests to create yet another Muslimarabstan that will be yet another center for international terror that ultimately will bog thousands more American troops and billions more in defense spending in another Middle East dirt hole? Does America really benefit by giving Hamas and Fatah terrorists new countries of their own based on falsified history?
The danger is so perilous that no one admits they are speaking of giving the terrorists a “country,” not a “state.” Delaware is a state. North Dakota is a state. Iowa is a state. But Muslimarabstanpalestine would be a country. That is a solution? And look at the map of the region. Gaza is on one side, and Judea-Samaria (the “West Bank) is utterly separate. Those two regions are not one entity. Even now, Gaza is ruled by Hamas terrorists, and the “Palestine Authority” is run by Abu Mazen (aka Mahmoud Abbas) and Fatah terrorists. They regularly hate and kill each other. So it is not about a “Two State Solution” but a “Three Country Quagmire.”
More: Given that no Muslimarabstan in “Palestine” will allow any single Jew to live there, how exactly are 500,000 Jews going to be uprooted from their homes in Judea and Samaria, plus another 325,000 Jews from Jerusalem’s eastern neighborhoods? Is the American “Two State Solution” to send in stormtroopers, round-up and shove Jews onto cattle cars, and force-march them into concentration camps?
What exactly is the European Union idea for uprooting 800,000 Jews from the lands Israel liberated in 1967, more than half a century ago? Where exactly will they be re-concentrated? In refugee camps in Syria? Will the European Union ask Germany to restore some of their available facilities, perhaps in Dachau and other picture-postcard locations, although it will cost them the tourist trade of those who love to visit concentration camp museums?
None of this “Two State Solution” makes any sense once one actually thinks beyond a slogan.
Now look deeper at real facts:
WHAT’S BEHIND THE RIOTS OVER JUDICIAL REFORM IN ISRAEL? by David Bedein
March 19, 2023 – To the outside observer, passions behind the riots which have swept the state of Israel may not be understood. After all, what is the big deal over cosmetic changes in the high court of justice?
Well, ever since the early days of the Oslo process in 1993, the Israel legal system sanctified every possible relationship with members of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
The demise of the peace process and the return of the PLO to a full scale of war with the Jews means that citizens of Israel who accrue profits from business with the PLO may now be viewed by the Israel legal system as criminal.
And if there is a change in the composition of the Israel high court, business with the PLO might be traitorous.
What are the dimensions of Israel Jewish investment in the Palestinian Authority, which works under the aegis of the PLO?
The Israel Globes economic newspaper last week published a whopping figure of $2.8 Billion that Jews in Israel have invested in the PA over the last year alone, at a time when more than fifty Israel corporations operate inside the PA.
Passia, the authoritative Palestine Academic Society for International Affairs, reports in its 2022 yearbook that more than 135 nations now pour unaccounted for humanitarian donations into the PA for health, education, and welfare, while there is simply no record keeping as to the whereabouts of cash donated to the PA.
Raiding The Taxpayer Piggy-Bank By David Stockman
March 23, 2023 – Janet Yellen is one continuous anti-prosperity horror show and the reason is obvious enough. She got her indoctrination at Yale from the granddaddy of Professor Keynes’ US disciples, James Tobin, in the late 1960s and has spent most of her years since then pontificating in academia or dictating from the Fed.
So now with the arrival of screaming evidence that the banking system desperately needs the disciplining effect of depositor flight, she comes out four-square for euthanizing the $9 trillion of still uninsured deposits in the US banking system.
But let’s cut to the chase. Banks not disciplined by their depositors and not at risk for deposit flight are dangerous institutions. They leave bank executives free to swing for the fences on the asset-side of their balance sheets without fear that attentive depositors will move their money to safer pastures.
For crying out loud. It was bad enough during the last several years when deposits were dirt cheap and knuckleheads like those who ran SVB decided to load up their balance sheets with 10-30 year duration assets against overnight demand deposits, most of which were uninsured.
