From the River to the Screen, How ‘Palestine’ Became a Viral Fantasy SAM HILT
The first use by Arabs of the name “Palestine” to refer to themselves didn’t occur until the 1960s. The choice of the name is almost comical considering that the Arabic language lacks the letter “P.”
APR 03, 2025
Today, the mass media has replaced book culture as the dominant force creating the imagery we associate with various countries and their peoples.
Mention an “Italian vacation” and someone pictures the Coliseum or the Trevi Fountain and Gina Lollobrigida on the back of a cherry-red Vespa, rather than, say, the smoke-filled kitchen of a peasant family negotiating their sharecropping contract with the landowner.
We all know that the actual place and the mental representation of it that we carry around in our heads are not the same thing. We know that the fish-eye lens which was used to picture the hotel room we’re looking at on Booking.com makes it look bigger than it really is.
But, apart from selective focus and “enhancements,” we take it for granted — and the law requires — that the photograph in the brochure or the image on my laptop screen are faithful representations of the actual object in the real world.
All that said, let the buyer beware: The fact remains that the physical world and its virtual representation are two distinct realms, and that the gap between the two presents a potential vulnerability which can be exploited in a variety of ways.
In terms of understanding and mastering the opportunity presented by the gap between the real and its representation, the Palestinians’ achievements are without equal.
In a moment we’ll look more closely at the difference between the actual “Palestine” and its virtual doppelganger. But first, it will be useful to revisit the historical moment in the 1960s when the development of mass media and the eclipse of the Gutenberg galaxy provided the necessary conditions for the invention of the Palestinian people.
The new media of the 20th century — such as the radio, TV, and motion pictures — made it possible for the first time for an individual or a small group to communicate with multitudes.
Marshall McLuhan, an English professor at the University of Toronto, became quite famous in the late 1960s for his speculations that these new media were quickly displacing literacy and the role of book culture as the bedrock of academia and intellectual life.
McLuhan noted that a street protest involving a dozen people carrying signs might gain the attention of 100 people walking or driving by. But a 30-second spot on the evening news could be seen by 100,000 viewers.
McLuhan was possibly the first social critic to formulate this observation as a theorem about the distortive power of the new media: The impact of the media-reported event is orders of magnitude greater than the impact of the actual event. Eventually, this insight made its way into the political sphere where its studied application changed the game dramatically.
The intelligentsia largely dismissed McLuhan’s gloomy predictions, but popular media culture became enamored of his vision of their growing importance and identified him as its champion. Newsweek magazine featured him on its cover, and McLuhan even made a cameo appearance in a Woody Allen movie.
There’s a scene in “Annie Hall” where Woody and Diane Keaton are waiting in line to buy tickets while a guy behind them pontificates pretentiously about art and culture and really gets on Woody’s nerves. When he eventually moves on to discuss Marshall McLuhan’s ideas about media, Woody turns around and tells him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The two of them bicker until Woody pulls a deus ex machina move.
Stepping out of line, he brings over a man from offstage who, lo and behold, turns out to be Marshall McLuhan himself. McLuhan agrees completely with Woody, and Woody’s opponent is defeated and humiliated. Woody turns toward the audience and says wistfully: “Wow, if real life was only like this!”
Consider this scene as a metaphor for a contest taking place in the Western world. Here, in the late 1960s, we still find ourselves in a world where a professor can descend from the heights of academia to resolve for mere mortals what is true and what is not. That world is now long gone; the relative merit of one theory versus another is no longer established by peer reviews, credentialed committees, and learned argumentation among professors.
In their stead, we now have search engines that rank the answers to your query based on the popularity of the material that’s located. We’ve gotten rid of the all the middlemen: the judges, authorities, and experts, all the intermediaries who used to be in place to filter results, to separate the wheat from the chaff.
In certain spheres, such as online shopping, this approach has yielded very positive results. If you’re looking for a new electric toothbrush, and you see on Amazon that 74 people love this model and only 3 people hate it, the odds are pretty good that it’s a quality product; the system works.
But what if you want to know what led to the fall of Rome? Or, what’s the best book about the Golden Age of Spain? Or what brought about World War II?
In the search for truth about such matters, ratings algorithms based on popularity turn out to be worse than useless. Let’s take a quick look at a very successful current effort to game the system — and then we’ll turn our attention to the Palestinians.
On “The Tucker Carlson Show” in September 2024, Carlson interviewed a podcaster named Darryl Cooper whose controversial claims about World War II have attracted considerable attention. Carlson introduced him as follows: “Darryl Cooper may be the best and most honest historian in the United States.”
An estimated 30 million viewers watched the show and listened to Darryl Cooper’s version of what happened during World War II. In Cooper’s alternate reality, Winston Churchill was a warmonger who dragged a reluctant Adolf Hitler into war against his will. The Jews were prisoners of war who fell into Nazi hands and the Nazis were unprepared to accommodate such large numbers of prisoners of war. So they mercifully murdered millions of them to spare them the suffering of starving to death.
More recently, on the “Uncommon Knowledge” podcast produced by Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, three distinguished historians were interviewed by the series host, Peter Robinson. Asked for their opinions about Darryl Cooper as a historian, all three authors pointed out his abundant errors of fact, his failures to respect chronology and his outlandish, absurd conclusions.
In essence, they dismissed him as a fraud and a charlatan pretending to be a serious historian. So far, so good, but don’t celebrate just yet. Tucker Carlson’s fawning interview with Cooper received over 30 million views, while the powerful rebuttal of Cooper’s views on the “Uncommon Knowledge” podcast has received only about a million views.
In our current landscape, even when hucksters with “fake facts” are shown beyond any shadow of a doubt to be bullsh*t artists, this is no longer sufficient to stop them in their tracks. Indeed, with persistent promotion and diffusion, “alternative realities” based upon “alternative facts” often become widely accepted simply because people become familiar with them.
“I hear this all the time. There must be some truth to it.”
This is the core principle behind chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels’ assertion about “the Big Lie” — keep it simple, repeat it constantly, and people will begin to believe it.
Add to this some emotional appeal to tug at our heartstrings, along with the natural tendency that people have to willingly embrace “fake facts” which are more congruent with their beliefs, and you have the basic ingredients for constructing an alternate reality.
Which brings us directly to the Palestinians.
The odds are that, while you have probably never visited Malawi or Kirghizstan or “Palestine,” you know almost nothing about the first two countries, but you definitely know something about the third.
Even though “Palestine” is much smaller and less populous than the two others, it occupies a more prominent place in the public mind. That’s because Real-World Palestine is tiny, but Virtual Palestine is huge and powerful. The first may be described as reality-based, and the second as a fantasy injected into the public mind.
Real-World Palestine today includes two separate territories, each administered by Palestinian militias who are deadly rivals: (1) Gaza, which is still under the dictatorship of Hamas, and (2) portions of Judea and Samaria (also known as “the West Bank”), which is ruled by the Palestinian Authority under the de facto dictatorship of Mahmoud Abbas, now serving the 20th year of the four-year term to which he was elected.
Abbas leaves his stronghold in Ramallah rarely and always under heavy guard to minimize his risk of being assassinated by rivals from Hamas. His most successful political initiative has been the implementation of a “pay-to-slay” program through which Palestinian assassins are rewarded for murdering their Jewish neighbors next door, according to a sliding scale payment schedule that is based directly on the severity of the crime and the length of time of incarceration.
Virtual Palestine is a much broader, more complex entity that exists primarily in and through the efforts of activists to promote the Palestinian narrative worldwide, and to undermine Israel’s viability as a national homeland for the Jews. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” means, quite simply, free of Jews.
Far outside the small footprint of Real-World Palestine, Virtual Palestine thrives in many countries and involves university academic departments, NGOs and student groups, organized public events like conferences and debates, promotion of initiatives like the BDS campaign, and independent actions by filmmakers, journalists, and politicians who disdain the Jews and share a common goal of ending Jewish sovereignty in the historic Jewish homeland.
Virtual Palestine proclaims its ubiquitous presence through the promotion of the Palestinian “brand” in the form of distinctive clothing, slogans, and artifacts.
Today, throughout the Western world, we’re called upon to witness the conflict between two opposing narratives, one offered by the Palestinians and the other by the Jews, each claiming to be the rightful possessor of the Land of Israel.
For those who know little or nothing about the history of the Middle East, which includes most people, this is a confusing situation which they really don’t know how to resolve. Who’s telling the truth and how can we know what to believe? Why can’t they all just get along?
US Interest Mandates Regime-Change in Iran Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”
April 3, 2025
*Does US policy toward Iran refrain from – or repeat – past mistakes?
*The diplomatic option (negotiation and containment) is effective when conducted between parties, which consider negotiation as a step toward peaceful coexistence. However, as evidenced by its 46-year-old rogue track record (since toppling the pro-US Shah), the Ayatollah regime – just like ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the PLO/PA and Hezbollah – has employed negotiation as a tactic to advance its aim to topple the “apostate” Sunni regimes and bring the “infidel” West to submission.
*Will the US sustain the 46-year-old self-destructive diplomatic option toward the Ayatollah regime, ignoring the fact that the latter is driven by a 1,400-year-old fanatical, religious ideology that transcends financial and diplomatic consideration, and mandates the toppling of all “apostate” Sunni regimes, and bringing the Western “infidel” – especially “the Great American Satan” – to submission?
*The diplomatic/negotiation option has played a key role in transforming Iran from “The American Policeman of the Gulf” into the leading global epicenter of anti-US wars, terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering and the proliferation of advance military systems from the Persian Gulf, through the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, North and West Africa to Latin America and US soil.
*The diplomatic/negotiation option has been a clear and present threat to the survival of every pro-US Arab regime, the pro-US regimes in Latin America and – according to the FBI – to US homeland security.
*Will the US ignore the reversibility (short term effectiveness) of maximum-pressure-economic-sanctions, which (temporarily) limited the rogue capabilities of Iran, but failed to detach it from its fanatical vision and moderate its conduct?
*The Ayatollah regime views US Presidents as a temporary historic episode, while the Ayatollah regime is eternal by divine right. Hence, Iran has prolonged any negotiation process, willing to hunker down, shift to a lower gear and postpone policy achievements, awaiting to a more accommodating President, prepared to shift to a higher gear, and resume the pursue of their fanatical ideological goals.
*The failure of the 46-year-old diplomatic option, and the 40 year old economic sanctions, exacerbated by the reluctance to engage in regime-change, paves the road to the possible emergence of the first ever apocalyptic, megalomaniacal, nuclearized regime, with its terror arms stretched from the Middle East, through Africa to Latin America and US soil.
*Western reluctance to engage in regime-change serves as a decisive headwind to the majority of Iranians who yearn for a regime change, and a tailwind to the oppressive Ayatollah regime.
*Iran’s domestic opposition is aware that regime-change is preconditioned upon game-changing external involvement, as it was in 1978/79, when the US brutally pressured the anti-Ayatollah Iranian military to refrain from stopping Ayatollah Khomeini’s rise to power. Moreover, external US-British involvement played the key role in the 1953 regime-change, which toppled Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh’s government, and restored the monarchy of the Shah. On the other hand, the absence of external involvement was responsible for the failure of the 2009 and 2022 attempts by the opposition to topple the Ayatollah regime.
*Refraining from regime-change is perceived as weakness by rogue regimes. It undermines the US’ posture of deterrence, whets the appetite of Islamic terrorism, undermines the stability of all pro-US Arab regimes and US’ homeland security, and expands the prospects of war and terrorism.
*On the other hand, the realization that the Ayatollah regime is not a partner to negotiation, but a target for regime-change, would reflect decisiveness in the face of threat, bolstering the US’ posture of deterrence, eliminating the leading epicenter of global anti-US Islamic terrorism, and advancing liberty for all Iranians. By removing the Ayatollah’s machete from the throats of its Sunni Arab neighbors, thereby reducing global war and terrorism, minimizing the Saudi, the UAE and Egyptian courting of China and Russia, and inducing Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, possibly followed by Indonesia, Oman and even Kuwait.
*In 2025, the conventional military capabilities of the Ayatollah regime constitute the leading epicenter of wars and terrorism, anti-US terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering and proliferation of advanced military systems, as well as an imminent threat to all pro-US Arab regimes. For example, Iran’s success in toppling the pro-US Hashemite regime would transform Jordan into a major platform of anti-US Islamic terrorism, triggering a volcanic ripple effect in the Arabian Peninsula area (48% of global oil reserves), bolstering anti-US global Islamic terrorism.
*Comparing regime change in Iran to previous attempts in Afghanistan and Iraq, ignores the vast differences between them, ethnically, culturally, politically and educationally. In fact, Iran’s population is much more prone to a positive alternative regime.
*Refraining from regime-change would pave the road to an apocalyptic and nuclear Iran, which would result in catastrophic economic and human life cost, that would dwarf any cost currently required by regime-change.
The Deadly Naiveté of ‘Compassion’ for Our Enemies Avi Abelow
March 27, 2025 The Times of Israel – Andrew Silow-Carroll’s recent JTA article highlights a group of Modern Orthodox and observant Jews attempting to shift the community’s conversation about the war in Gaza under an umbrella initiative called Smol Emuni (“Halachik Left”, in English).
On the surface, their calls for “understanding the other side” and engaging with speakers critical of Israel might sound noble, but in reality, this approach is not just misguided—it is actively dangerous. It misunderstands the fundamental Jew-hatred at the core of Palestinian nationalism and, by advocating compassion for the enemy, directly enables the very violence that threatens Jews in Israel, New York, and across the world.
The Danger of Engaging with Israel’s Enemies
One of the most disturbing aspects of this movement is their willingness to give a platform to individuals like Rashid Khalidi and Hassan Jabarin—people who have long histories of anti-Israel activism and opposition to the very existence of a Jewish state. The excuse given is that engaging with these voices leads to a more “nuanced” perspective. But this is the same kind of naivety that allowed the Oslo Accords to happen—believing that if we just listen and empathize enough, our enemies will see our humanity and embrace peace.
History has proven otherwise. The Palestinian national movement is not about coexistence. It is not about borders or “justice.” It is about the complete destruction of Israel as a Jewish state. By giving these voices legitimacy, these well-meaning but dangerously misguided Jews are promoting the narrative that Israel is to blame for its own victimization. They are aiding and abetting those who seek to delegitimize our national existence.
The Root of Palestinian Nationalism: Jew-Hatred
There is a fundamental misunderstanding at play in this movement’s thinking: they assume that the Palestinian cause is based on a legitimate national struggle. It is not. The Palestinian identity was created solely to oppose the Jewish people’s return to their land.
There was no “Palestinian people” before the third Jewish commonwealth of the Jewish people, Israel, was reborn in 1948, there was no call for the establishment of a Palestinian state between 1948-1967 when Judea & Samaria was occupied by Jordan and Gaza was occupied by Egypt. The massacre of Jews did not begin on Oct. 7th, 2023, but was always going on, like the massacres of 1929 and 1936, years before the Jewish state of Israel was even established.
The leaders of this movement refuse to acknowledge this simple fact because it forces them to confront some uncomfortable truths that do not fit with their identities: there is no “partner for peace,” and there is a true hatred of all Jews behind the whole cause called Palestine.
This explains why Jews are being attacked in the streets of New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, on college campuses across the USA, even though they have nothing to do with Israel.
This war is not about “occupation” or “settlements.” It is about our very existence as Jews. The mistaken belief that by “understanding” the Palestinian narrative we can bridge the gap, is a fatal delusion.
Compassion for the Other Side = Support for Anti-Jewish Violence
These well-meaning Jews argue that their approach is about fostering compassion. But who, exactly, deserves compassion? The civilians in Gaza? The very same civilians who took part in the Oct. 7th atrocities and celebrated on Oct. 7th as Jewish women were raped, children were butchered, and families were burned alive?
As Be’eri survivor Aviad Becher informs us, old men and youth from Gaza were involved in burning his house, not just armed terrorists. We should have compassion for the civilians in Gaza who have spent decades electing Hamas, cheering on suicide bombers, and teaching their children that the highest form of honor is to kill a Jew?
Compassion for such people is not kindness—it is suicidal. It is the kind of foolishness that leads directly to more Jewish suffering, not just in Israel but across the globe.
The same forces that are driving the war against Israel are fueling this global explosion of antisemitism. The Jews who want to “change the conversation” fail to see the obvious: this is not just about Israel. This is about Jewish survival worldwide.
These Are Not Jewish Values: This Is Western Moral Confusion
The Jews leading this movement believe they are upholding Jewish values by promoting empathy, tolerance, and open dialogue. In reality, they are embracing Western progressive, really regressive, ideals at the expense of authentic Jewish morality. Judaism does not preach tolerance for evil and those who seek our destruction. The Torah commands us to remember Amalek and to wipe out those who rise against us. It teaches us to stand firm in the face of our enemies, not to embrace them.
True Jewish values demand that we defend our people, that we prioritize our own survival, and that we never allow those who seek our annihilation to gain the upper hand. That is how we are a light unto the nations, as they also are targets of this same Muslim religious ideology against all infidels. All one has to do is look at how the Turkish-backed Sunni terrorists who have taken over Syria are today massacring and perpetrating ethnic cleansing of Alawites and Christians in Syria, as European leaders embrace them as respectable leaders of Syria.
The misguided Jews pushing this dangerous rhetoric are prioritizing a non-Jewish “progressive” moral code over the Torah’s clear commandments. They are rejecting the value of life for themselves and their own people in favor of their enemies, in the name of a misguided compassion for “the other”.
What Should We Do Instead?
Instead of “changing the conversation” to accommodate those who hate us, we need to strengthen our own resolve. We must:
- Expose the lies of the Palestinian narrative and educate our people about the true history of the land of Israel.
- Defend ourselves unapologetically against both physical and ideological attacks.
- Stop trying to appease those who want us dead. Jewish history teaches that appeasement never works—it only emboldens our enemies.
- Foster Jewish pride and unity. We must strengthen our commitment to Torah, to the Jewish people, and to our homeland.
It’s Time to Wake Up
We are living in a critical moment. The war against Israel is not just being fought on the battlefield—it is being fought in the media, in academia, and even within our own Jewish communities. The Jews trying to “change the conversation” are not bringing peace—they are encouraging more evil by giving our enemies ammunition to continue their war against us.
The time for moral confusion is over. We must stand firm, proud, and unwavering in our defense of Israel and the Jewish people. This is not just about politics. This is about the survival of the Jewish people and the whole freedom-loving world.

Part VII: Sacrilege of Religious Zionism MICHOEL GREEN
APR 03, 2025
As explained in Part II, Zionism is statism with a pseudo-Jewish veneer. The nationalist movement to return to Zion en masse was a pretext through which statism was imposed on Jews. What made it so insidious is how it sought to appeal to not only non-religious but religious Jews as well. For the latter, Zionist statism was painted as Judaic creed with astonishing efficacy. By winning over so many in the observant Jewish population, Zionism succeeded where other statist movements, such as Jewish Communists, failed.
Religious Jews were lured into joining the Zionist movement by means of a tempting doctrine called “religious Zionism.”
Religious Zionism preaches that the state is nothing less than the first phase of the long-awaited Redemption promised in scripture, or ithchalta d’geulah in rabbinic parlance [1]. In religious Zionist liturgy, the state is referred to as ראשית צמיחת גאולתנו, the “beginning of the sprouting forth of our redemption” [2].
This audacious claim is based on a midrashic teaching in the Jerusalemite Talmud that describes the process of redemption as a gradual one [3].
The existence of a supposedly-Jewish state that instigates a mass Jewish return to the Land is regarded by religious Zionism as the “ingathering of the exiles of Israel” described in scripture [4]: “And the Lord your God will return your captives and… will gather you from amongst all the nations to where He had dispersed you.”
The obvious problem is how to deal with the previous verse, “you will return to God with all your heart…?”
Furthermore, how can a political state claim to be the harbinger of redemption? Did poverty, greed, illness, crime, cruelty, etc. [5], miraculously disappear with the glorious advent of the supposedly-long-awaited Jewish State? No, it didn’t.
Moreover, how can a Divinely-inspired redemption be achieved at the hand of a secular state run by atheists?
Religious Zionist apologetics has an answer: at least the redemption process has begun, albeit gradually. Supposedly, if all Jews would return to the Land and pledge allegiance to the “redemptive” State, then the rest of the Redemption would follow.
Early Christian theologians had a similar problem when claiming authentic messianic status for their messiah. How could they explain Jesus’ failure to deliver the actual redemption, a time when the “wolf will lie with the lamb”[6], an end to evil and bloodshed, etc.? Consequently, they contrived the novel idea of a “first” and “second” coming. The redeemer was no longer required to actually redeem anyone, at least not in a practical and physical sense. Supposedly, he just needed to die for their sins and achieve their “forgiveness,” while the actual redemption could occur millennia later. Or so goes the apologist Christian rationale.
Of course, this was a significant departure from authentic Torah faith, so it was roundly rejected by Jews throughout all of history.
All false messianic movements dealt with this same conundrum: how to explain your messianic candidate’s failure to achieve actual redemption?
Religious Zionism attempted to address this problem by reducing the redemption to a geographic and political reality. It was claimed that a mass return to the Land, and a revival of supposedly Jewish sovereignty therein, by definition constitute redemption, or at least the “first stage” thereof, i.e. the “physical redemption.” All other aspects of redemption would invariably follow, religious Zionism promises, including repentance and “spiritual redemption.”
Similar to Christianity’s dogma of first and second comings, religious Zionism dissected and dichotomized the messianic advent into two, a physical redemption and a spiritual redemption.
According to religious Zionism, these two stages were predicted in the above-mentioned midrashic teaching that describes the redemption as a gradual process.
However, in authentic Jewish faith, midrash aggada carries little weight with regards to actual practice. While these insightful homilies are studied for their moral/ethical/spiritual value, this sort of midrash is not law and often has no practical application, especially not when it’s contradicted by explicit halachic rulings.
In this case, the redemptive process is clearly delineated in Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah [7]. There is indeed a process but the sequence is reversed:
“If a king will arise from the House of David who is diligent in Torah and observes its commandments as prescribed by the Written Law and the Oral Law like David, his ancestor, will compel all of Israel to walk in (the way of the Torah) and rectify the breaches in its observance, and fight the wars of God, we may, with assurance, consider him the moshiach (i.e. messiah, iterally the ‘anointed’).
“If he succeeds in the above, builds the Temple in its place, and gathers the dispersed of Israel, he is definitely the moshiach.
“He will then improve the entire world, motivating all the nations to serve God together, as it is stated [8]: ‘I will transform the peoples to a purer language that they all will call upon the name of God and serve Him with one purpose.'”
Halacha clearly rules that national repentance led by a human messiah precedes the construction of the third Holy Temple on Mount Zion, and only later does the ingathering of the exiles occur.
Authentic halachic eschatology doesn’t recognize a “physical redemption” devoid and independent of a spiritual one.
The correct sequence is clearly described in the same scripture cited above [9]:
“And you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children.”
“Then, the Lord, your God, will bring back your exiles and… once again gather you from all the nations, where the Lord, your God, had dispersed you.”
Our people’s teshuva (return to God) precedes our geographic return to Zion, or at least the national return to Zion that scripture identifies as messianic.
To deal with this obvious conflict, religious Zionism fabricated a new idea, a bold subversion of teshuva, that “returning to God” is a code word for returning to God’s land. In religious Zionist dogma, Jews’ return to the Land en masse constitutes a “national teshuva” of sorts. Okay, but what about the continuation of the verse: “and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day…”? In a bizarre eisegetic attempt, “all that I am commanding you this day” was interpreted to mean the all-embracing commandment of returning to, and taking “national possession” of, the Land. Funny how “all” that God had commanded us in the plains of Moab — the entire Book of Deuteronomy and part of Numbers — is somehow reduced to one single value, the one dictated by religious Zionist theologians.
Religious Zionism mirrors Christianity in this regard as well. Both have reduced our covenant with God comprising six-hundred thirteen eternal Commandments to one single value that eclipses all else [10]. For the latter, it was belief in a savior. For the former, it’s belief in a state. In fact, for Religious Zionists, the state is their savior.
[Parenthetically, there’s a debate among Jewish scholars as to whether the virtue of residing in the Land or “taking possession” thereof, is even considered a Biblical Commandment at all. It’s not listed among the six-hundred and thirteen Divine commandments in the authoritative Maimonidean code nor is it cited as a rabbinical commandment. Some have suggested that living in the Land is indeed not a particular commandment but rather an all-embracing value that makes observance of many other commandments possible (i.e. those dependent on the holy soil and non-applicable abroad, such as many agricultural commandments). However, this argument itself proves the fallacy of religious Zionism. If residing in the Land is important only because of the commandments one can now fulfill, certainly “all that I am commanding you this day” means quite literally all the Torah’s Commandments. “National teshuva,” then, cannot be achieved by a national return to the Land’s mere geographic borders, but rather by a return to observing all of God’s commandments. Now, if the national return to Zion had achieved this result, there might have been some grounds for this debate. The reality, however, is sadly the reverse. Hundreds of thousands of formerly-Torah-observant Jews immigrated to the fledgling “Jewish State” and abandoned their observance. This was not by happenstance.The Zionist state had an obvious agenda to dispossess and disenfranchise sephardic and mizrahi Jewish immigrants of their faith-based communities. Just visit the slums and prisons in Israel today and you will discover thousands of men of Moroccan and Yemenite descent, drug dealers, deadbeats, and criminals whose grandparents had been pious and steadfastly Torah-observant Jews in Morocco and Yemen respectively, prior to their communities’ alleged “national teshuva.” Many of these men had been cruelly separated from their families as young children and forced to grow up in secular kibbutzim by the Zionist regime. I learned of this tragic phenomenon when I conducted passover seders in Israel’s highest-security civilian prison in the late 1980s.]
The question about whether a large-scale return to Zion before the actual redemption was halachically permissible is a different question, not germane to this discussion, and quite frankly, a distraction to the real dangers of Zionism given what we now know [11].
Rather, what we’re discussing is the odious deception of religious Zionism by endorsing a false messianic movement, one that requires its adherents to subjugate themselves to a modern state as a cardinal religious tenet.
Herein lies the danger of religious Zionism. It objectifies the state by according it messianic status. In religious Zionist dogma, Ben Gurion, Golda, Sharon, Bibi, et al, rule by divine right in the so-called Third Commonwealth. The Zionist oligarchy is on par with the Davidic Kingdom. Total subservience to the state is now a religious duty of supreme priority, or so goes the religious Zionist rationale.
Even without playing the Messiah card, religious Zionism attempts to accord religious authenticity to the lie of statism, that the state’s authority constitutes the rule of the people.
Religious Zionism deceptively claims that the state’s administration of the Land is equivalent to Jewish national possession of the Land.
By returning to the Land and subjugating yourselves to the state that wields control over its borders, religious Zionism preaches, you are supposedly fulfilling the Torah’s commandment: “And you shall possess the Land” [12].
According to religious Zionism, “possessing the Land” means establishing national control over the land by means of a modern state controlled by a nominally-Jewish regime.
Religious Zionism views the regime as “Jewish national leadership,” albeit not observant of Torah law. Supposedly atheists like Rabin and Peres are no less sovereign than the wicked King Ahab to whom Prophet Elijah accorded respect due to this royal status [13], or so it is claimed.
The Torah states: “Set over yourself a king whom the Lord your God will choose, from amongst your brethren shall you set a king over yourself…” [14]. This commandment was only incumbent upon Israel once they entered the Land [15].
Religious Zionism claims that this is a commandment to accept the authority of the allegedly sovereign “Jewish State.” It declares that Jews are obligated to impose a “national Jewish administration” over the Land by agency of the Zionist regime.
The reality, however, is that the Zionist regime is neither Jewish nor sovereign, nor does it constitute “rule by the people” in any way.
The government includes Jew-hating Arabs and misanthropic atheists who are sworn enemies of the Jewish faith. The state serves not the population but its super-wealthy handlers. The Land is not in any “national Jewish possession.” Instead, the Land is ruled by a puppet government that answers to Jew-hating sociopaths, the same predator class that holds the puppet strings to all other modern states.
“Backroom diplomacy” is business-as-usual for the JINO state, secret deals to which the public is oblivious and powerless to oppose. Elections are a sham, since the ruling class controls every major candidate and/or his party. There is no constitution, no rule of law, no recourse. In the name of “keeping you safe,” citizens of the state are subject to extraordinary 24/7 surveillance, perhaps more so than in any other nation in earth. The Jews of our Holy Land are perpetual prisoners of the state, its propaganda media, its extreme-Leftist judges and their kangaroo courts, all of which are anything but Jewish.
Ariel Sharon was a non-Jew [16]. Of course, who else could preside over the forced expulsion of thousands of innocent Jews from Gush Qatif?
Bibi is a traitor who funded, enabled, and opened the border to jihadist butchers, allowing them to murder, torture, rape, and abduct defenseless Jews in the south for many hours.
All other prime sinisters likewise behaved not as Jews but as pagans. Any Jewishness they may have demonstrated was a mere token gesture. The Jewish-in-name-only establishment peddles non-Jewish and anti-Torah values. Secularist and LGBTQ wokeness is forced upon the population. The state routinely suppresses Jewish morals, Jewish pride, and Jewish identity.
However, the fact that the “Jewish State” is actually anti-Jewish is peripheral to the true evils of religious Zionism.
Alas, the “Jewish State” isn’t controlled by Ahabs and Jezebels as Religious Zionists would have us believe, but by Amalek [17], Israel’s nemesis. Whereas Jezebel sought to eliminate only the religious Jews and the Jewish religion [18], Amalek seeks to eliminate the Jewish people in its entirety, “להשמיד להרוג ולאבד” – to destroy, murder, and obliterate all the Jews, young and old, as Haman attempted in this time [18]. Today’s Amakekites vie to destroy not just the Jews but the entire human race and subjugate the survivors to totalitarian digital enslavement.
In its endorsement of the statist Zionist objective, religious Zionism is complicit in crimes against humanity, and in particular, unspeakable crimes against the Jewish people.
Religious Zionism is a sacrilege of epic proportions, a cruel and cynical exploitation of religion and religious belief.
A Jew, yehudi, denotes one who rejects polytheism in all its iterations [19]. Zionism is an insidious form of idolatry that objectifies the state. By peddling an idolatrous and sociopathic false messianic movement, religious Zionism betrayed Jews in the darkest of ways. Nothing can be less Jewish.

Trump’s foreign policy moves starting to look like that of a desperate, dying empire LEO HOHMANN
Gerald Celente, the legendary chief editor of the Trends Journal, once said: ‘When all else fails they take you to war.’
APR 01, 2025
The United States of America elected Donald Trump in a landslide victory over a hapless opponent last November, and immediately the mantra “We’re Back” started reverberating across the land.
People were jubilant.
Some held family or neighborhood “victory parties.”
You could hardly blame them after four years of the most absent, most inept president in U.S. history.
Donald Trump, never one to be bashful or to wince before the spotlight, fanned the flames. He immediately started talking about “the dawn of a new Golden Age of America.”
He started off with a bang, publicly signing executive order after executive order. His fans swooned.
But going on three months in, reality is starting to take hold.
What we are seeing is that roughly half of his most meaningful executive orders have been overturned or at least delayed by the courts.
We’ve seen no meaningful action from the Republican-held Congress to codify any of the Trump agenda.
In another six months the campaigning for the 2026 midterms will be in high gear and we will all wonder what of any lasting value we have to show for all the fanfare. Remember, Trump’s executive orders, even the ones that get by the courts, can be overturned on DAY ONE of the next presidency.
The question is this: Will Trump himself get frustrated and seek to distract the nation from his lack of progress on his domestic agenda by taking the nation to war overseas?
This past weekend, Trump started showing signs of frustration.
His long-touted peace deal with Russia’s Putin and Ukraine’s Zelensky is going nowhere. Neither side seems to want to stop fighting, and Trump is learning that you can’t just beat your chest as the “King” of America and browbeat foreign dictators into accepting your “deal.”
When Trump gets frustrated, he takes to social media. And sometimes he even dials up the corporate media to vent his frustrations there. On Sunday, he called NBC News and spoke with Christine Welker. He told her he was “angry” and “pissed off” with Russia’s Vladimir Putin for not agreeing to his peace deal with Ukraine. He also felt the need to repeat his previously mentioned desire for a “third term.”
Then, after saying he would slap Russia with secondary tariffs on all Russian oil if Putin didn’t come to his senses and agree to see the world (including his own border area) through Trump’s America-centric lens, he moved on to talking about Iran.
Trump said he would carpet-bomb Iran and bring hellfire and brimstone, “the likes of which they’ve never seen before,” if they didn’t agree to his deal to give up their nuclear program. Iran gave no indication that it would comply with his demands and on Monday we read that Iran was loading its missiles and priming them for take-off.
Americans did not vote for another Mideast war. That is probably the last thing America can afford right now. And the last thing it needs. Trump said it himself. He said he wanted to be the “Peace President.”
If you recall, the rationale used to avoid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was that it would only serve to give Hamas time to rearm and regroup. Israel had Hamas on the ropes and needed to finish them off, we were told.
It’s interesting that this rationale does not apply to the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump’s push for a 30-day ceasefire makes no sense from the Russian perspective. Putin says forget the 30-day temporary truce. He wants to address the core causes of the war and negotiate a truly “lasting peace.”
And yet, here we go. Trump’s foreign policy seems geared along the lines of, make peace with me or I will bomb the hell out of you. Or at the very least, I will wage economic war on you until you succumb to my wishes.
Sorry, Donald, but this isn’t the art of the deal. You can’t browbeat the world into submission.
Perhaps Trump has a secret deal with Putin whereby he criticizes Putin in public while telling him in private he won’t interfere with Russia’s drive to finish off Ukraine. But if that were the case, why is Trump continuing to fund Ukraine’s war effort? He restarted the funding about two weeks after cutting it off, a fact most Americans I talk to are still not aware of.
And even if there is a secret deal, I still don’t think it’s helpful in the long run for a world leader to use subterfuge to the extent that no country can take him at his word. That can only end badly when the deceptions and misdirections finally get exposed. Now you are exposed as a paper tiger who got called on the bluff.
The fact that any U.S. president would make such statements only shows signs of desperation and, in my opinion, weakness. It smacks of the playground bully, who always threatens more than he can deliver. He begs for attention with bombastic statements and basks for a time in the façade of the tough guy image, until someone takes him up on his challenge, calls his bluff and delivers an unexpected crushing blow.
Trump’s new foreign policy tactic is begging for someone, some country, to step up and put down the bully, hit him right at his weakest point. Which is often the most obvious place. Right in the center of his face! Perhaps his exposed jugular? Perhaps a gut punch that incapacitates him just long enough to then deliver the crushing blow? Maybe an EMP attack followed by a strike of an overwhelming hypersonic nature?
Trump wants Western peacekeepers in Ukraine. That is a major snag for Putin, mostly because of Russia’s history and distrust of Western countries like France and Britain (both have fought wars with Russia in the past). Putin’s idea of having the United Nations place peacekeepers in Ukraine is also stupid. How did that work out in Rwanda?
The only way to solve the problem is to back away and let Russia and Ukraine fight it out. That will provide the only organic environment for a lasting peace, and even that may not last forever. But Russia is oh so close to achieving that goal, and that’s why Putin doesn’t want any part of Trump’s “peace” deal. He believes he can end the war by finishing off his opponent and then accomplish all of his goals, rather than 50 or 75 percent of them. Why would the victor in a war settle on the terms of the loser? This is essentially what Trump is asking Putin to do. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Ukraine’s leader, Zelensky, wants to keep fighting, so let him carry on and see how that works out for him.
Sadly, it’s becoming clear that the U.S. is losing influence in the world. Its dollar is faltering. Its economy is teetering. And its leaders are behaving like those running a dying empire. The U.S. has to stop acting like the biggest, baddest bully on the block, when everyone knows it has a soft underbelly.
Because remember: When all else fails, they take you to war.
Jonathan Pollard: Trump Action Against Israel Left? [29:27]

Does the US Government Have the Right to Condition Funding to Universities? by Alan M. Dershowitz
April 1, 2025
- Many left-wing university faculty members… are making the absolutist claim that it is always a denial of academic freedom for governments to pressure universities with a cut-off of funding.
- It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to hypothesize the following variation on the current situation: it’s the 1950s and 1960s in the Deep South; a formerly segregated university is allowing masked KKK racists to harass Black students, blocking some from attending classes; buildings are occupied by Klansmen demanding a return to segregation; the university is doing nothing to protect the Black students, citing academic freedom and freedom of speech.
- None of these purported factual distinctions justifies the allegedly principled opposition to the Trump administration’s employment of pressure to stop anti-Jewish discrimination at Columbia from those who would praise the employment of similar pressure to prevent discrimination against Blacks, gays or other groups favored by intersectionality. It is double standard bigotry against Jews, plain and simple.
- The pressure on Columbia may produce positive results — if it keeps its promises — including more academic freedom and free speech for students who were victimized by Columbia’s inaction until it was pressured to act by the threat of defunding. That would be a good thing, just as federal pressure on some southern universities that reduced discrimination against Blacks in the 1950s and 1960s was a good thing.
Many left-wing university faculty members (a redundancy if there ever was one) are rebelling against the Trump administration’s threat to cut federal funding to universities that tolerate antisemitic actions against their Jewish students. They condemned the acting president of Columbia for accepting some of the administration’s conditions for restoring the $400 million that it threatened to cut, and she was forced to resign.
The faculty members are making the absolutist claim that it is always a denial of academic freedom for governments to pressure universities with a cut-off of funding. In making this broad claim, they ignore the lessons of history and the single standard of morality.
It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to hypothesize the following variation on the current situation: it’s the 1950s and 1960s in the Deep South; a formerly segregated university is allowing masked KKK racists to harass Black students, blocking some from attending classes; buildings are occupied by Klansmen demanding a return to segregation; the university is doing nothing to protect the Black students, citing academic freedom and freedom of speech.
The federal government threatens to cut off federal funding unless the university protects the Black students and bans the use of face masks for the purpose of concealing identity. The university reluctantly complies, out of fear of being defunded.
Liberals and civil rights advocates would applaud the threats of the federal government and the compliance by the university. Many did so in the 1950s and 1960s.
But now that similar threats and actions have been taken to protect Jewish students from masked Hamas supporters at Columbia University, many liberals and civil rights advocates are complaining about the government’s threats and Columbia’s submission, alleging interference with academic freedom. Why the difference?
There are three possible distinctions, none of which justifies — though they explain — why these left-wing groups respond in such a diametrically opposite manner to such similar actions.
The first is that the southern example involved the protection of Blacks, whereas the Columbia situation involves the protection of Jews. Pursuant to the bigoted dogma of “intersectionality,” Jews are deemed the privileged oppressors and Blacks the unprivileged oppressed. So the distinction is seen to be justified. No rational person would accept that reasoning, but many radical students and faculty do.
A related distinction is that the southern protesters and blockers were the evil Klan, whereas the Columbia protesters and blockaders paint themselves as virtuous pro-Palestinians. This distinction too is seen as justified by intersectionalists, who deem all supporters of Palestinianism as oppressed and all supporters of Israel as oppressors. This racist distinction as well is accepted by many students and faculty.
Finally, there is the distinction between the government officials who threatened the southern universities in the 1950s and 1960s and the current government officials who threatened Columbia. The current government, which is presided over by President Donald J. Trump, can do no right, according to liberals and civil rights advocates, even if its actions are logically indistinguishable from past approved actions. This variation on the classic ad hominem fallacy is widely accepted in academic and left-wing circles, when the hominem is Trump.
None of these purported factual distinctions justifies the allegedly principled opposition to the Trump administration’s employment of pressure to stop anti-Jewish discrimination at Columbia from those who would praise the employment of similar pressure to prevent discrimination against Blacks, gays or other groups favored by intersectionality. It is double standard bigotry against Jews, plain and simple.
There does need to be limitations on what the federal government should be trying to influence on university campuses. Legitimate academic freedom should be respected. The federal government should be careful about intruding on the content of courses, the hiring of faculty, the admission of students and other primarily academic matters. But even with regard to such academic matters, there are appropriate limits to academic freedom by universities seeking federal funding.
The government is entirely within its rights and power to condition what it provides in discretionary taxpayer funding so that those funds will not be used for propaganda or partisan political purposes, rather than for legitimate educational enterprises. This is a delicate area, since there is no clearly objective way to draw a sharp line between politically neutral education and partisan propaganda. But as the late Justice Potter Stewart once put in the equally nuanced effort to distinguish hard-core pornography from constitutionally protected speech:
“I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [hard-core pornography]…. But I know it when I see it…”
The same is true of partisan propaganda: we know it when we see it— at least in its most extreme form, which is all too common in today’s classrooms and curricula.
The bottom line is that there is a legitimate and constitutionally appropriate place for some federal financial pressure to be directed at some universities to achieve some beneficent purposes. But the government should be cautious, selective and targeted in its deployment. It should operate with a scalpel, rather than a chainsaw, and it should be careful to avoid cutting off financial aid to medical, scientific and other important research and educational enterprises. This is a difficult task but it is a mistake to argue — as many on the left hypocritically do in the current context — that all threats to cut funding from all universities for all purposes is categorically wrong.
The pressure on Columbia may produce positive results — if it keeps its promises — including more academic freedom and free speech for students who were victimized by Columbia’s inaction until it was pressured to act by the threat of defunding. That would be a good thing, just as federal pressure on some southern universities that reduced discrimination against Blacks in the 1950s and 1960s was a good thing.

Methinks the left doth protest too much Ruthie Blum
A U.S. probe of the money trail to the Israeli machine operating to topple Benjamin Netanyahu should cause the movement’s radical engineers to shake in their Birkenstocks.
March 31, 2025 JNS – In a letter obtained last week by Israel Insider, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Brian Mast (R-Fla.)—the chairs of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees, respectively—requested of the Jewish Communal Fund, Middle East Dialogue Network, Movement for Quality Government in Israel, PEF Israel Endowment Funds, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and Blue and White Future that they “produce all documents and information” about dubious practices vis-à-vis Israel.
The March 26 missive to the heads of the above organizations got right to the point in the first paragraph.
“According to reports, the Biden-Harris administration funneled U.S. taxpayer money to certain Israeli entities with the effect of attempting to undermine Israel’s democratically elected government,” it began, with a footnote referencing two JNS articles—one by Caroline Glick and the other by David Isaac.
The former, published Feb. 17, 2023, showed that the left-wing Israeli NGO, the Movement for Quality Government (MQG), had been receiving money from the U.S. State Department. And it was using the cash, among other things, for “democracy education” in Israeli high schools.
As Glick noted, “Since MQG’s primary activity is subverting democracy in Israel by waging lawfare and sowing chaos in a bid to block democratically elected right-wing governments from fulfilling their pledges to voters, it’s fairly clear that when MQG refers to ‘democracy education,’ it doesn’t mean majority rule.”
Isaac’s piece, which appeared on Feb. 18 this year, showed how Elon Musk’s efforts to “expose waste and misuse of funds” by “America’s administrative state” led to the emergence of reports that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had been heavily funding the anti-government judicial-reform protests in Israel.
This, explained Isaac, “led Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to … blast what he called the ‘almost inconceivable’ amounts of foreign money that drove the protest movement.”
The letter by Jordan and Mast went on to stress that the “use of federal grants in this manner not only jeopardizes America’s relationship with one of its closest allies, but also undermines core civil liberties protected within the United States and Israel. Additionally, the misuse of federal grant funds may, in some cases, amount to a criminal offense.”
Jordan and Mast then clarified the impetus for their probe.
“In 2023, Israel experienced widespread protests over the government’s plan to reform the country’s judicial system,” they wrote. “The Biden-Harris administration openly opposed the proposed reforms, with President Biden saying that Israel ‘cannot continue down this road.’ Media reports later revealed that these protests were funded in part by U.S. grant money that had been funneled through various American and Israeli NGOs to groups directing the protests.”
They proceeded to specify that, “according to public media reports, in 2023, Blue and White Future, ‘an Israeli NGO that funded and ran the headquarters for the coalition of groups opposing judicial reform,’ received approximately $4 million from a U.S.-based NGO, Middle East Peace Dialogue Network (MEPDN) through the Jewish Communal Fund and Rockefeller Philanthropy Adivsors.”
This, said Jordan and Mast, “was not the first time U.S. taxpayer-funded grants had been used to support protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or the policies he supports.”
Unfortunately, they added, “these reports reflect the poor track record of USAID and the State Department in funding entities in the region. USAID and the State Department have even provided direct support to Hamas and other terrorist groups. From 2007 through 2024, USAID and the State Department sent at least $122 million to NGOs aligned with designated terrorist organizations. Many of those NGOs have openly espoused antisemitic rhetoric and encouraged violence against Jewish individuals.”
The letter concluded with a detailed list of the data demanded by Congress, which “has an important interest in ensuring that taxpayer-funded grants are used in a manner that is consistent with statutory authorization and congressional intent.”
An investigation into the money trail from Team Biden to the Israeli machine still operating to topple Netanyahu should cause the movement’s radical engineers to shake in their Birkenstocks. After all, full-page ads in newspapers cost a fortune.
Ditto for highway banners, tents, flags and loudspeaker systems. And let’s not forget the hundreds of Handmaid’s Tale costumes signifying the plight that awaits Israeli women in the event that a modicum of balance is restored to the branches of government.
Having the flow of dollars severed would put a real damper on their ongoing campaign, which has come to include enveloping many of the hostage families with a dangerous bear hug. To make matters worse for the devious NGOs in question, Channel 14‘s Tamir Morag reported on Monday that MQG chairman Eliad Shraga and Blue and White Future CEO Eran Schwartz are expected to be summoned by Congress for questioning.
Schwartz promptly rejected claims that he and his “anybody but Bibi” buddies were abetted in their endeavors by the Biden administration. He’s probably counting on the difficulty that the likes of Jordan and Mast will have in drawing a direct link between the coffers of one “charity” with a political agenda to another.
This is likely the same reason that then-State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel was confident in his own denial about his office’s funding of the Israeli protest movement. In a press briefing on March 27, 2023, he expressed righteous indignation at the very suggestion.
“Any notion that we are propping up or supporting these protests or the initiators of them is completely and demonstrably false,” he said. “The Movement of Quality Government … received a modest grant from the State Department that was initiated during the previous administration, and the latest disbursal of funds came in September of 2022, prior to the most recent Israeli elections. And this grant supported an educational program for Jerusalem schools that supplemented their civic-studies curriculum.”
The timeline is laughable. MQG is but one leftist NGO that’s been staging anti-Netanyahu demonstrations for years. And Shraga appears so often before Israel’s High Court of Justice to represent petitioners against all things Bibi-related that he’s reached the celebrity status of a reality-TV star.
It remains to be seen whether Jordan and Mast will succeed at extinguishing this particular aspect of USAID’s wasteful, often pernicious, activities. But it’s a relief to have the powers-that-be in Washington put a stop to the gaslighting.
Indeed, to borrow from Queen Gertrude in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” the left “doth protest too much, methinks.” Literally and figuratively.

March 31, 2025 The Shannon Joy Show
WOW. What an amazing day.
We packed almost 500 people from all over the country in the beautiful sanctuary at Bethel Christian Fellowship as a brilliant panel of speakers delivered very hard truths about the state of our nation and the troubled times ahead.
The Livestream delivered almost 60,000 LIVE viewers which will deliver many MILLIONS of post views as it was featured on 13 different channels on platforms like Rumble, X, Facebook, Pickax, Spreely TV, Daily Clout and CHD. HUGE thank to our Stream Master, Aynaz Anni Cyrus.
At times you could hear a pin drop in the massive room as we learned about the totalitarian ideology of Technocracy & transhumanism from Aaron Day and Jeff Dornick, the DOGE Coup and mass data theft from Naomi Wolf and Sasha Latypova explained how behind the entire COVID lockdown was a military deployment and apparatus that still exists today and threatens our people and way of life.
The health panel featured Dr. Pierre Kory who spoke about cutting edge new treatments for healing, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden with the truth about the lack of political will for change, Mary Holland and Warner Mendenhall who confirmed that there is MORE that needs to be done to ban mRNA, stop the shots and hold PHARMA accountable but also gave very hopeful updates about important victories, bills and cases we need to pay attention to and advocate for.
It was a wonderful day …
Mostly it was because of all of you.
All of the smiles, encouragement, hugs and support. A group people who gathered to support a worthy organization pursuing a worthy cause, Americans For Health Care Alternatives under the leadership of the most humble servant leaders Pam & Dan Waterman, Sue Maduro and Lindsey Peeples.
Every person in that room longs for the fragile sanity of the world before COVID, they know we have an even darker path before us and yet they persist. They accept this truth with courage, faith and determination to continue the fight cheerfully yet relentlessly for liberty.
This is what it means to be an American.
This is who we are.
What a beautiful moment.
Thank you.
We recap today.

Patriots in the belly of the beast– America First against four empires DR. PETER AND GINGER BREGGIN
the “Breggin Axiom of Empires”
MAR 25, 2025
Four empires dominate much of the world today, and all empires become ferociously violent at the first whiff of a freedom movement. At this moment in time, America First and its leader, President Donald Trump, threaten the four world empires as never before. Understanding that America’s freedom movement is under assault by four global empires can help us prevail in this Greatest Battle of All Times. We must continue to revive and defend our magnificent role as the world’s first great constitutional republic.
To succeed, we must face the fact that America First, Donald Trump, and all of us who support them are fighting four empires that occupy most of the world and its population. We must also face the fact that all empires are violent beyond our worst imaginings.
Yet, I can find no other analysis comparable to this one concerning our confrontation with these empires. As a result, I am introducing the “Breggin Axiom of Empires” that all empires are inherently evil and are inevitably started and controlled by the worst human beings among us.
In dictionaries and textbooks, empires are typically defined in a neutral, nonjudgemental manner, such as “a major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority.”1 They must be the worst humanity has to offer, or they could not build and grow empires. Often, they slaughter their own people, as well as the people they call enemies.
R. J. Rummel was the greatest analyst of how authoritarian and totalitarian regimes inevitably destroy and enslave their own people as well as their enemies.2 He concluded in his book Power Kills:3
There is one solution to each [genocide and mass murder], and the solution in each case is the same. It is to foster democratic freedom and to democratize coercive power and force. That is, mass killing and mass murder carried out by government is a result of indiscriminate, irresponsible Power at the center.
Rummel also summarized, “The bottom line is that it is the power of a regime that accounts for its killing.”
These enormous global predatory monopolies on power are devoted to infinitely expanding their wealth and power — and this is precisely what America First and Donald Trump are facing. That is why it seems like all great powers in the world are fighting against us — it’s because they are!
Why are America First and President Trump such objects of vilification and lethal attack? The answer is that Trump is the ultimate obstacle in the way of the four empires taking over the world. Much as the elite do not want us discussing their actual conspiracies, they do not want us examining their empires, all of which are built upon violent conspiracies. Read any history book, even summaries, about the rise of empires. Empire building is a pyramid of murderous conspiracies among the leaders themselves, even among families and friends, and, of course, against their avowed enemies.
A Warning for All Freedom Fighters
President Trump’s expansionism requires a warning for America First, President Trump, and all of us who believe in freedom and constitutional republics. The possibility of adding Canada and/or Greenland to the United States as a state or territory increases the complexity and unwieldiness of our own very shaky self-government. We are only now passing through the dissolution of the first, and hopefully, last American Global Empire, which began after World War II and, with unusual rapidity, went into decline. It collapsed as empires tend to do ⎯ under the pressure of multiple wars, inflation, a vast bureaucracy, corruption, the redistribution of wealth to predatory oligarchs, and megalomaniacal leadership.
That disastrous experiment with this Global Pax under an American Global Empire so weakened and corrupted us that the freedom movement is now fighting from within the beast — from within the shattered relic of America that resulted from our own failed empire-building.
We need a world of sovereign nations, much as Trump advocates. However, the vastly increasing population and/or mass of the United States raises the dreadful risk of yet another American Global Empire with even dangerously greater power over the world. Increasing the power of the President as chief executive, although Trump may do it responsibly, may also empower a future strongman takeover.
All four empires have nuclear weapons, including the Muslim Califate’s Pakistan, with Iran not far behind. The possession of weapons of mass destruction by all four empires is a major reason none of the empires has thus far openly tried to destroy the others in a full-scale war.
With this knowledge of the four opposing empires, much of the chaos, craziness, and outright savagery in the world today becomes a recognizable historical pattern that has been repeated over and over again since the dawn of civilization with its kingdoms and empires. Today’s empires relentlessly push us toward globalization and a totalitarian world governance; it’s what America First and President Trump and all freedom fighters are up against.

Do Not Be Fooled by the ‘Anti-Hamas’ Protests by Bassam Tawil

- Make no mistake: Once the Palestinians recover from the war, they will continue their jihad against Israel. Many of the “anti-Hamas” protesters will then reappear, this time complete with masks, weapons and military gear.
The recent anti-Hamas protests in the Gaza Strip are seen by some Western and Arab political analysts as a positive and encouraging development.
Those who are rushing to celebrate the protests in Gaza need to consider that they are most likely nothing but a show by the Iran-backed Hamas to fool the world into thinking that there is an uprising against the terrorist group.
After all, this is the same Hamas that kept signaling to everyone, years before its terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, that it was not interested in another round of fighting. Then it murdered and brutally tortured 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 251.
One of Hamas’s tactics has been to try to protect its terrorists by hiding them among civilians. According to some reports, Hamas members have been spotted leading some of Gaza’s demonstrations.
Hamas, in addition, is undoubtedly seeking to undermine the legitimacy of Israel’s war against terrorism by sending “innocent” civilians to the streets to protest the humanitarian and economic crisis in the Gaza Strip. Hamas is probably hoping that the world will see the poor “anti-Hamas” civilians peacefully protesting, then exert pressure on Israel to halt its fight against the terrorists.
What would Norway or Denmark do if ISIS or Al-Qaeda were on its border, seeking to destroy it?
Notably, most of the protesters appear to be fighting-aged men, thereby reinforcing the belief that they are terrorists who took off their military uniforms and suddenly became “civilians.”
Even if some of the protesters are not members of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, it is vital not to be fooled by what appears to be a sudden change of heart.
The protesters, like many of the residents of the Gaza Strip, are, in all probability, just trying to avoid more death and destruction now that they see Israel, fully backed by the Trump administration, resuming its counter-terrorism operations.
The fighting in the Gaza Strip picked up again on March 18, after Hamas breached the US-brokered ceasefire-hostages deal reached earlier in the year.
This is certainly not a change of heart: there has yet to be a single Palestinian criticism of Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israelis. The protesters are not saying they are bothered by Hamas terrorists (and thousands of “ordinary” Palestinians) brutally murdering, raping, beheading, and burning alive hundreds of Israelis that day.
Please recall, thousands of Palestinians took to the streets on October 7, 2023, to cheer as Israeli hostages were dragged back into the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians not only chanted slogans in support of Hamas and the Palestinian “resistance,” many were filmed beating and spitting on the abducted Israeli men, women and children.
It is highly likely that many of the “anti-Hamas” protesters now are the same people who celebrated the October 7 carnage.
It would also be entirely wrong to assume that those who are demonstrating against Hamas are in favor of peace and coexistence with Israel. We did not hear or see one “anti-Hamas” protester hold a banner calling for peace or recognizing Israel’s right to exist.
If the protesters would really want to end the war, they would be urging Hamas to release the 59 Israelis hostages still held captive in the Gaza Strip. If the protesters were really eager to see an end to the war, someone would have tipped off Israel as to the whereabouts of the hostages. It is crucial to remember that in November 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a $5 million reward for the release of each hostage. Not one person in the Gaza Strip has come forward to this day.
At the “anti-Hamas” protests, we have not heard a single person call for an end to the genocidal jihadist fantasies of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups. If elections were held in Gaza tomorrow, most of the protesters would, without doubt, vote for any Islamist terror group that seeks the destruction of Israel through slaughter, terrorism and jihad (holy war).
The talk about local clans possibly revolting against Hamas is an old fantasy that unfortunately never materialized. In the past, a small number of clans did openly challenge Hamas’s rule, but they were quickly suppressed and discredited by other, pro-Hamas, clans. Last year, Israel tried to encourage anti-Hamas clans to play a role in managing the Gaza Strip — without success. Regrettably, several clans have, over the past year, issued statements expressing support for Hamas as the “sole representative of the Gaza Strip.”
The current protests are taking place for one reason only: Hamas is conspicuously losing the war. Israel’s military force is working. The protesters are just angry that Israel retaliated so hard.
All Hamas would have to do for Israel to stop is to free the 59 remaining hostages, only 24 of whom possibly remain alive – but all of whom are victims of a kidnapping that should not have happened in the first place.
These Palestinian demonstrations are not going to bring down Hamas.
The demonstrators know full well that Hamas does not tolerate any form of criticism. Earlier this week, Hamas terrorists reportedly kidnapped, tortured and executed Odai al-Rabei, a 22-year-old Gazan who participated in an anti-Hamas protest. The murder presumably aims to send a warning to anyone who dares to speak out against the terror group. It also could be part of Hamas’s effort to distract attention from its involvement in the protests, which lasted only three days.
At present, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is the only army capable of destroying Hamas’s political and military infrastructure. So far, Israel seems to be doing an excellent job, especially, since October 7, with the destruction of most of Hamas’s military capabilities, and the elimination of several senior Hamas officials over the past two weeks.
Sadly, there is no alternative to the complete removal of Hamas. As noted earlier on these pages, there is no difference between Hamas’s political wing and its military wing. Hamas’s political wing, in fact, requires the military wing, to be able to stay in power.
If the West falls for Hamas’s latest ploy, the terror group will simply soon be able to take control of the Gaza Strip with a rebranded name. Hamas’s primary goal, after all, is to remain in power.
It is time to stop projecting Western values and aspirations onto Islamist societies. The protests in the Gaza Strip are not a shift toward peace. Instead, they are a symptom of the Palestinians’ failure, once again, to achieve their goal of murdering Jews and eliminating Israel.
Make no mistake: Once the Palestinians recover from the war, they will continue their jihad against Israel. Many of the “anti-Hamas” protesters will then reappear, this time complete with masks, weapons and military gear.

Palestinian ‘activism’ is actually domestic terrorism. JOSHUA HOFFMAN
These groups, such as “Palestine Action,” utilize the same ugly tactics and ideologies that have defined every major Palestinian terror organization for the past many decades.
MAR 30, 2025
This is not protest. This is premeditated violence. This is vigilantism dressed up as virtue.
And Palestine Action is proud of it.
According to their own website:
“Palestine Action is a direct action movement committed to ending global participation in Israel’s genocidal and apartheid regime. Using disruptive tactics, Palestine Action targets corporate enablers of the Israeli military-industrial complex and seeks to make it impossible for these companies to profit from the oppression of Palestinians.”
This is not a fringe Facebook comment. This is their core strategy: Bypass law, ignore democratic process, refuse dialogue, and replace politics with sabotage. Their view of the world is cartoonishly black-and-white: Israel is evil, anyone connected to Israel is evil, and anything done in the name of fighting Israel — no matter how extreme or destructive — is justified.
And let’s be clear, their obsession with Israel is not about peace. It’s not about justice. It’s about hatred. These are people who don’t want Israel to defend itself — because they don’t believe Israel should exist.
The irony is striking: Palestine Action claims to oppose oppression, yet their tactics involve anonymous mob rule, vandalism, harassment, and open incitement to chaos. They scream about “genocide,” yet they promote a culture of aggression so unhinged that they coach followers on how to break into buildings, destroy infrastructure, hide their faces, avoid police, and dump evidence.
If a Right-wing group published a manual encouraging followers to destroy mosques or attack Black-owned businesses with sledgehammers and cement, it would be declared a hate group overnight — and rightly so.
But when the target is Israel? Suddenly, violence is “direct action,” and hate becomes “solidarity.”
This hypocrisy is both dangerous and telling. It proves what many of us already know: Antisemitism is the one bigotry that still gets a pass in elite circles — so long as it’s wrapped in the flag of Palestine and framed as “anti-Zionism.”
Make no mistake: This is not about defending Palestinians. This is about erasing Israel. And if Jews are collateral damage along the way, so be it.
What Palestine Action calls “solidarity,” any reasonable person would call criminal conspiracy. What they label “disruption,” the law calls domestic terrorism. And what they frame as “liberation” is just raw, dangerous fanaticism.
This isn’t activism; it’s anarchism with a specific ethnic target.
Palestine Action may style itself as a slick, grassroots, social justice collective. But peel back the buzzwords — “direct action,” “resistance,” “liberation” — and you’ll find the same ugly tactics and ideologies that have defined every major Palestinian terror organization for the past many decades.
From the Palestine Liberation Organization to Hamas, these groups have wrapped themselves in the language of justice while carrying out mass murder, hijackings, suicide bombings, and rocket attacks indiscriminately aimed at civilian population centers. Their targets have never been just Israeli soldiers — but buses, schools, cafes, airports, and synagogues.
Their true mission has always been rejectionism. Not peace. Not coexistence. Not even a two-state solution. Just the elimination of Israel.
And now, here comes Palestine Action, rebranded for the TikTok era, offering the same hate in different packaging. They swap suicide belts for spray paint and sledgehammers — but the ideology is the same.
Their goal isn’t reform. It’s destruction. Their playbook isn’t democratic engagement. It’s coordinated sabotage. They demonize not only the Jewish state, but every Jew or non-Jew who dares to do business with it.
They proudly refuse to work within democratic institutions — because, in their own words, they don’t believe “appealing to politicians” is useful. Instead, they call for shutting down companies, smashing property, evading the police, and escaping justice.
This is not new. It is the same warped mentality that led the Palestine Liberation Organization to murder Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. The same rage that drives Hamas to fire rockets at children’s playgrounds from hospital rooftops. The same nihilistic obsession with Israel’s destruction that fuels generations of antisemitic hate.
Palestine Action may be operating in the UK instead of Gaza, but they are ideologically indistinguishable from the terror networks they mimic and admire. They are not activists. They are saboteurs with a PR team.
What makes this even more disturbing is how eagerly the Western Left has aligned itself with these radical, pro-terrorist movements. “Progressives” who would never tolerate violence, bigotry, or religious hatred from the right turn a blind eye — or worse, offer full-throated support — when the perpetrators wrap themselves in a Palestinian flag.
They excuse the inexcusable, justifying terror as “resistance,” vandalism as “direct action,” and open antisemitism as “anti-Zionism.” From campus protests to city councils, from cultural institutions to Left-wing media, we now see Palestine Action and its ilk elevated as heroes, while Jews who speak out for Israel are shouted down, harassed, or canceled.
The Western Left has long claimed to champion human rights. But when it comes to Jews and Israel, that commitment evaporates. Instead of standing with the only democracy in the Middle East, many now cheer for its destruction — alongside the same forces that would dismantle everything “progressives” supposedly stand for.
It’s not just hypocritical. It’s tragic. And dangerous.
The Left’s embrace of radical anti-Israel groups has legitimized antisemitism, normalized violence, and driven a wedge between Jewish communities and political movements they once called home.
In their desperation to appear “woke,” too many have fallen asleep to history.
And that is exactly why we must stand with Israel.
Because when Jews are hunted, harassed, and demonized in London, New York, Paris, Toronto, and Sydney — Israel remains the only country on earth founded with the explicit mission of protecting Jewish life.
So yes, every decent person must stand with Israel.
Because Palestine Action shows us exactly what the alternative looks like.
DOGE gone it! TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
MAR 30, 2025
Someone sent me this article and I agree. I rewrote some of it and added my own commentary. Stay frosty!
JEFF CHILDERS: USAID-CIA has been dismantled by DOGE and it appears that the next target of DOGE is to dismantle the CIA itself.
Trump’s war against the Deep State just entered its final, conclusive chapter, and the outcome will change history forever. Let me explain.
Was it purely coincidental that Rubio unexpectedly shuttered USAID-CIA last week and Ratcliffe unexpectedly invited Musk to meet with the CIA this Monday, March 31st?
Behold the timeline of just what we can see:
— On his first day in office, Trump created DOGE.
— DOGE’s first project was to wood-chip the CIA’s global laundromat, USAID.
— Weird legal fights erupted over the obscure “independent” agency.
— DOGE — solely under Trump’s control — continued penetrating most of the government.
— The Senate confirmed John Ratcliffe as CIA Director.
— Ratcliffe immediately fired an unknown number of CIA staff. (Battlefield preparation?)
— The JFK files delivered direct body blows against the CIA. (More battlefield preparation?)
— Trump declassified (not yet produced) all Crossfire Hurricane documents. (Even more?)
— Yesterday, Rubio officially ended USAID-CIA by Congressional notice.
— Yesterday, Ratcliffe publicly invited Musk into the CIA.
Why Musk, and not a regular DOGE team? Why announce it? Why is the media pretending this story is a nothing burger?
Imagine a new, AI-powered, top-secret, digital DOGE dashboard at CIA-Langley that can show CIA Director Ratcliffe and President Trump everything that the CIA is doing in real-time: every dollar, every operation, every contract, every overseas asset being paid — and only Trump’s team will hold the keys.
There are nearly 25,000 CIA Federal employees, and likely 100,000 others secretly embedded in the fake news & at NGOs, around the world. How do you find them all and keep track of them all so you can remove them? You follow the money. That’s what DOGE will do!
Once a DOGE dashboard is installed at the CIA, the Agency’s permanent staff can’t play their covert games anymore. No more secret drug ops. No more unauthorized coups. No more backchannel slush funds. No more false flag operations.
No more resist-Trump psyops.
If DOGE can pull this off, the CIA will properly become an extension of the White House, rather than the other way around, as it has been since 1947.
In other words, DOGE at the CIA is Trump’s nuclear option to take back control.
Right now, permanent, unelected bureaucrats and spies hold the real power, because they control the money, secrets, and the levers of influence, while manipulated elected officials come and go.
If CIA-DOGE integration sticks, then the Deep State will evaporate into a shallow pond. The DOGE dashboard will move the levers of control back into the White House. No more shadow government. No more covert meetings between “resisters” discussing how to undermine the elected President and thwart his agenda. No more spies using secret means to eavesdrop on the White House.
If I’m right, this is war. When Musk strolls into Langley HQ, it will signal the final, climactic battle. The Deep State cannot let Trump seize the intelligence machinery. If he does, their decades-long system of autonomy, black budgets, and unaccountable operations dies forever. Not “set back.” Not “dismantled” so it can later be rebuilt.
Eradicated forever.
The CIA’s permanent staff, their global financial network, and the entire shadow government lose everything the moment their money and operations become visible and thus controllable by the White House. Their only option is to stop this, at all costs.
On the other side, Trump obviously understands what happened to him in his first term. He did not govern, he was governed— by an unaccountable, uncontrollable bureaucracy. They ran Crossfire Hurricane, UkraineGate, two impeachments, and countless other regime-change operations— because they controlled the machine.
And they gleefully survived his presidency intact. Trump knows he won’t survive this second round unless he finishes the job. It’s not just politics anymore. This is an epic existential battle, for both sides.
As the Swamp recruits its overseas allies, anticipate coordinated global backlash —the media, the EU, the UN, the NGOs— all screaming about “dictators,” “tyranny,” “kings,” and “creeping authoritarianism.”
Given what we already know, we can expect false flag attacks pinned to DOGE or Musk to force public outrage and political blowback. Even more addled progressive terrorists will be activated to cause mayhem.
But Trump has been planning for this battle. He has done everything possible to pull its teeth. For better or worse, in his first 70 days, Trump engineered this apocalyptic showdown, making it inevitable and unescapable. This really is the final battle; there will be no round 3.
This is no small task. Because the CIA pretty much controls everything and has since 1947. All of these people are likely CIA cut-outs or operatives along with the media & thousands of NGOs. THEY ARE LURKING EVERYWHERE.

Hijinks with “Giza Underground City” [35:01] JOHN LEAKE
Pranksters at the Kahfre Project having fun with Synthetic Aperture Radar tomography
MAR 30, 2025
There is a long history of academic tomfoolery in archeology that makes for extremely entertaining reading. Johann Winckelmann and Heinrich Schliemann were both extremely colorful characters who, in addition to making real finds, had lively imaginations and a gift for storytelling.
Another notorious figure who was extremely adept at spinning all kinds of colorful yarns about the ancients was Aleister Crowley.
During the 1930s, the archaeologist Otto Wilhelm Rahn devoted his life to finding archaeological evidence of the Holy Grail myth that frequently appears in 19th century German literature and opera. During the Third Reich, SS director Heinrich Himmler thought he was an incomparable genius and funded Rahn’s whacky expeditions all over the world—the likely inspiration of the bad guys in the Indiana Jones movies.
As an archaeology buff, my eye was drawn to recent reporting about a group of researchers who call themselves the Kahfre Project who claim to have found evidence of a vast underground city beneath the pyramids of Giza.
The Kahfre Project consists of Corrado Malanga from the University of Pisa and Filippo Biondi from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. The team claims to have discovered the subterranean network using advanced technology known as Synthetic Aperture Radar tomography.
I was very happy to see that my favorite ancient history YouTuber—an Italian who goes by the name The Metatron—just published a critical review of a large academic conference—with high priced tickets—recently hosted by the Kahfre Project.
Listening to it last night before bed gave multiple fits of laughter. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such academic hijinks. My favorite moment is when one the researchers presents his analysis of spectral representations of the underground city, and then happens to mention—during his talk—that he is colorblind.
In recent years I have often thought that much of the political and academic establishment is now in the business of testing the gullibility of the public. The guys at the Kahfre Project are apparently pranksters of the highest order.
The Fake ‘Anti-Hamas’ Protests in Gaza BY DANIEL GREENFIELD
MAR 29, 2025 11:00 AM – There is no meaningful opposition to Hamas in Gaza. The Muslim Brotherhood terror group retains the support of a majority of Arab Muslims occupying Gaza. While they’re far from enthusiastic about it, the only other game in town is the PLO’s Palestinian Authority which tends to be far more hated.
Plus Hamas has a way of shutting down protests very fast and in the most direct way possible.
The Arabs in Gaza live in a tribal society of clans. Everything is determined by connections to large families. Those families have a lot at stake and scramble for a place in the power blocs that run everything. Which means they don’t just have protests.
So what’s going on in Gaza where hundreds appear to be protesting Hamas? One basic question is why now?
The theme of the protests was a call for Hamas to step down and end the fighting. The sudden interest in ending the war is tied to the so-called Arab Plan for Gaza is moving forward. Under that plan, a fake ‘technocratic’ front group will run the place under the “supervision” of the PLO using ‘Palestinian’ troops trained by Jordan and Egypt. Hamas will supposedly not have a voice in the running of Gaza.
In reality, this is yet another variation of the same scheme that has been repeatedly proposed in which Hamas runs things from behind the scenes while a front group controlled by the PLO collects foreign aid.
(The Arab Plan estimates that rebuilding Gaza will cost $53 billion.)
The goal is creating an Islamic terrorist state in Gaza and Judea and Samaria with international recognition.
The sudden ‘protests’ against Hamas are meant to manufacture the myth that Arab Muslims occupying Gaza are ready for a new government.
Hamas didn’t greet the protests cheerfully, but neither did it cracked down as hard as it could. Pro-Hamas outlets like Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye are not acknowledging the protests while too many pro-Israel people are foolishly celebrating them as some sort of step forward. For the moment this is an internal dispute between two Jihadist groups, one overt and one covert, it doesn’t indicate peace or coexistence is here.
The protest is meant for public consumption in the Arab world and in the United States. It’s not a sea change, but the same old scam.
Greenland United TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
MAR 28, 2025
Vice President JD Vance, his wife Usha, national security adviser Michael Waltz, Energy Secretary Chris Wright & Senator Mike Lee visited Greenland today.
The group toured Pituffik Space Base, the northernmost U.S. military installation, which is crucial for missile defense, space surveillance, and Arctic security. Vance met with U.S. Space Force personnel, thanking them for their service and emphasizing the importance of their mission.
Amid President Trump’s desire for Greenland to align with America, the visit served as a high-profile statement of U.S. interest.
VP VANCE TO GREENLAND: “Why does Greenland matter so much? We know that Russia and China and other nations are taking an extraordinary interest in Arctic passageways, Arctic naval routes, and in the minerals of the Arctic territories. We need to ensure America is leading in the Arctic.”
Understand what JD Vance is saying. Notice how key Greenland is (geographically and strategically) to America for all the major arctic shipping routes for the world. It is also a strategic location for air and submarine surveillance in the northern hemisphere. If the US lets Russia & China control that – America is doomed. We will lose control of imports and exports, to our enemies, and also give them a military advantage – TO INVADE US – off our shores.
Supreme Court Finale TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
MAR 29, 2025
I think this is the REAL REASON why the Trump administration has now escalated its legal battle over the deportation of Venezuelan illegal gang members to the U.S. Supreme Court. This isn’t just some immigration case – this is how they plan to tie together EVERYTHING from election fraud to national security to judicial blackmail. Why? Because it all started in Venezuela. Read on.
Former CIA officer Gary Berntsen, one of the most highly decorated intelligence veterans in recent U.S. history, has come forward to confirm that the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) has been deliberately deployed into the United States by the Venezuelan regime, with the express intent of destabilizing the country through sabotage and violence.
According to Berntsen, Tren de Aragua is no longer just a violent street gang. Their core leadership and operational cells have undergone paramilitary training under the guidance of Venezuelan intelligence and military officials, aided in part by Cuban intelligence operatives and narco-terrorist networks throughout Latin America.
Quoting Berntsen, Miami Herald journalist Antonio Delgado wrote:
“The Venezuelan regime has assumed operational control of these guys [Tren de Aragua] and has trained 300 of them; they have given them paramilitary training, training them to fire weapons and how to conduct sabotage. They have given them all like a four- to six-week course. They put these 300 guys through that course, and then they were deploying them into the United States to 20 separate states.”
Berntsen explained that sabotage includes acts such as arson, and that recent patterns of mysterious industrial fires, wildfires, and urban blazes—notably in Los Angeles and other key areas—could plausibly be linked to these foreign-trained operatives.
BERNTSEN: “Many of these wildfires, industrial fires, the Los Angeles fires, taking advantage of wind and the local conditions, were started by arsonists. How many of them were paid or coerced by TdA or their surrogates?”
Even more disturbing than the operation itself is the claim that elements within the CIA have deliberately ignored or buried this intelligence. Berntsen revealed that two current CIA officials recently leaked false information to The New York Times, claiming there is no intelligence connecting Tren de Aragua to the Venezuelan government. Remember how they said the same thing about voting machine fraud in the United States?
But Berntsen says otherwise—and he has proof.
BERNTSEN: “The CIA doesn’t have the information because they refused to look at it. We tried to brief them about this three years ago, but they were directed by the Biden Administration to ignore it. And now those officials are trying to undermine President Trump.”
According to Berntsen, he has already shared intelligence and source material with the Trump administration of the ties between Tren de Aragua, Venezuelan and Cuban intelligence services, the CCP and high-level narco-terrorist operations.
Shariah in America [43:41]
Brigitte Gabriel with Mel K Talking About Danger Within Our Borders
MAR 29, 2025 ACT FOR AMERICA
The Dangers of Sharia Law in America
In a compelling discussion on the Mel K Show featuring Brigitte Gabriel, the alarming infiltration of Sharia law into American society is laid bare. The speakers articulate a stark warning: radical Islamic ideologies are not just a distant threat but a growing reality within the United States, particularly in communities across Texas and beyond. This summary encapsulates the key talking points, provocative facts, and urgent dangers that must be confronted head-on.
Main Talking Points
- Infiltration of Sharia Law: The introduction of Sharia law in America dates back to 1991, with the establishment of the first Sharia court in Richardson, Texas. This historical context underscores a long-term strategy by radical Islamic groups to embed their legal frameworks within American society.
- Radicalization of Communities: The speakers highlight the rise of radical Islamic communities that openly reject the U.S. Constitution and local law enforcement, asserting that only Allah’s laws hold authority. This sentiment is echoed in various cities, where local leaders appear to support these ideologies.
- Targeting Vulnerable Populations: There is a concerted effort to recruit individuals from marginalized communities, particularly African Americans, by framing Islam as a return to heritage and pride. This tactic is seen as a means to expand influence and undermine traditional American values.
- Political and Legal Maneuvering: The discussion points to the existence of numerous Islamic organizations operating within the U.S. that are allegedly funded by foreign entities, including Qatar. These organizations are accused of manipulating legal systems and political structures to further their agenda.
Teaser Facts
- 142 Cases of Sharia Law: Research indicates that there have been 142 instances where Sharia law has been applied in U.S. courts across 22 states, highlighting a significant encroachment on American legal principles.
- The Muslim Brotherhood Project: A documented 100-year plan by the Muslim Brotherhood outlines strategies to infiltrate and dominate Western societies, including the establishment of educational and political organizations aimed at subjugating these nations.
- Community Policing: The emergence of community policing specifically for Islamic populations raises concerns about parallel legal systems that could undermine public safety and cohesion.
Warnings and Dangers
The speakers emphasize that the rise of radical Islamic ideologies poses a direct threat to American freedoms and societal norms. The normalization of Sharia law and the radicalization of youth in schools are urgent issues that require immediate attention. They call for proactive engagement from citizens to ensure that elected officials hear their voices and understand the implications of these developments.
In conclusion, the discussion serves as a clarion call for vigilance and action against the creeping influence of Sharia law in America. It urges citizens to recognize the interconnectedness of these threats and to mobilize against them before it is too late. The time to act is now, as the future of American values hangs in the balance.

Who Is Radical Judge James Boasberg? [9:09] JEROME R. CORSI, PH.D.
He Tried to Stop Illegal Immigrant Gang Deportation Flights, and Was Appointed to FISA by Chief Justice John Roberts
MAR 29, 2025
The Left keeps judge-shopping to find ways to feebly try to block President Trump’s Executive Orders. One judge in particular, Judge James Boasberg — the man who tried to block Trump’s deporting of Venezuelan gang members — is a curious case considering his background, associations and possible motives. Dr. Jerome Corsi takes a close look at this Radical Leftist judge on Corsi Nation.
Bill Gates: AI Will Replace Most Jobs Except Those Advancing Globalist Agenda Frank Bergman
March 28, 2025
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has gloated that the only jobs spared in the artificial intelligence-dominated near future will be those roles that help to advance the globalist agenda.
According to Gates, doctors, teachers, farmers, and most blue and white collar workers will be replaced by machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
Gates “predicts” that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world.
However, Gates believes that some jobs will still require humans.
He argues that real people will be needed to work as coders, “climate change” experts, and “vaccine” scientists.
Conveniently, those roles align with Gates’s own interests and advance the globalist agenda.
Gates made the “predictions” during a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, CNBC reported Wednesday.
During a segment of the full interview, Gates declared that soon humans won’t be “needed” for “most things.”
Gates made the comments while smiling and declaring that AI dominance is a “fantastic opportunity.”
