Israel’s End Game with Hezbollah [1:04:48] Caroline Glick
June 30, 2024 JNS TV – What is the IDF’s end game with Hezbollah? Can Israel really fight a two-front war on its Southern and Northern border? Is avoiding a full-scale with the Iran-backed militia even desirable?
Journalist and author Caroline Glick discusses all this with the Herut Center’s CEO Amiad Cohen. He argues that Israel must take back all of southern Lebanon while seeking to prevent a Groundhog Day situation with Hezbollah.

Shooting attack reveals uncomfortable truths about Israel By Moshe Phillips
Hamas terrorists standing within the municipal boundaries of Tulkarm, a Palestinian Authority-governed city, unleashed a barrage of gunfire aimed at the nearby Israeli town of Bat Hefer. Then they posted a video of the shooting on social media.
06-20-2024 – Nobody in the State Department, or the United Nations, or at J Street headquarters, is talking about the recent terrorist shooting attack on the Israeli town of Bat Hefer, less than 12 miles from the coastal town of Netanya. Because it shattered the premise at the heart of all their proposals concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Hamas terrorists standing within the municipal boundaries of Tulkarm, a Palestinian Authority-governed city, unleashed a barrage of gunfire aimed at the nearby Israeli town of Bat Hefer. Then they posted a video of the shooting on social media.
It was the third such shooting attack on Bat Hefer in two weeks. The Times of Israel pointed out that there have been similar attacks targeting Kibbutz Meirav, which is next to the PA city of Jenin. Once again, terrorists within the boundaries of the city were able to shoot into an Israeli community without ever having to go beyond the borders of their PA-ruled city.
These incidents lay bare the flaws in the ongoing crusade by the Biden Administration and J Street to establish a Palestinian state. The statehood proponents try to reassure the Jewish public by using vague, soothing terms such as “security guarantees” and “demilitarization.” But those words are worthless. No Arab regime has ever been demilitarized, and nobody can “guarantee” Israel’s security – because there is no government on earth that will ever have the political will to step in and forcibly demilitarize or guarantee anything.
Every Leftist Cause begins as Humanitarianism and ends as Terrorism Daniel Greenfield
The more the leftist cares, the worse the atrocities he can justify with his boundless caring. Leftist violence is not the outcry of the oppressed, but the mandate of the oppressors. Opinion.

“Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death; – the last, much the easiest to bestow, O Guillotine!” — A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
Every leftist cause is founded on empathy.
The quintessential leftist, no matter how much blood eventually spatters his hands, starts off by caring a great deal about other people. His heart bleeds for the oppressed, the workers and the peasants, for racial and sexual minorities, and for all the oppressed peoples of the world.
The ideological fashions may change but the story is always told the same way.
Somewhere there is an oppressed group to be liberated. And he, she or they is the one to fight for their liberation. Along the way that exquisite sensitivity which may lead an upper class Ivy Leaguer to learn all about the customs and suffering of black transgender men in Detroit or Hamas terrorists in Gaza congeals into an equal insensitivity for the suffering of his targets.
And then people die. Sometimes it’s those he considers the oppressed or the oppressors. Usually both. The humanitarians become terrorists and their revolutions lead to tyranny.
The opposite of tyranny isn’t revolution just as the opposite of empathy isn’t a lack of caring. They are both circles. Revolutions make tyrannies and empathy leads to cruelty. While there is a small subset of humanity that genuinely lacks empathy, most of the ideological bloodshed of the last century and this one was committed by men and women who cared far too much.
Those who care too much will eventually care enough to kill.
That is the argument that has been made in defense of every murderous leftist cause and is currently being made for Hamas. If you really care about the suffering in Gaza, you too would set yourself on fire or burn Israeli families alive in their homes. If you really care, you won’t care.
CHAPTER 25: Philanthrocapitalism and Collectivism by Linda Goudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is (forthcoming release July 2024)
June 30, 2024
Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.
In order to fully comprehend the scope of the planned globalist assault on your children’s minds, it is helpful to review Norman Dodd’s 1982 interview with G. Edward Griffin, and Dodd’s stunning 1954 Report (Chapter 9). You will recall that Norman Dodd was appointed Director of Research of the Reece Committee to investigate tax-exempt foundations and determine if their activities could justifiably be labeled un-American. Dodd examined the recorded minutes of the Carnegie Corporation’s board meetings and discovered how tax-exempt foundations in America, since at least 1945, had been operating to promote a hidden agenda. The foundations’ real objectives were to influence American educational institutions and control foreign policy agencies of the federal government in order to condition Americans to accept world government. The government was to be based on the principle of collectivism (socialism) and ruled by the same interests that control tax-exempt foundations.
Twenty years after the Dodd Report, in 1974, Congress passed and President Gerald Ford signed into law the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Steve J. Sands explores its seismic societal consequences and reviews the history of third-party investment management in America in his previously referenced article, “Who Owns Corporate America?“[i] Prior to 1980, most investments were made directly by each corporation. Sands asks, “What changed around 1980 to make the market shift toward third-party investment management?” The answer is fascinating:
In 1974 The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was passed. One of the elements of ERISA was that it made it clear that companies could use third-party investment management. Hence the rise of third-party investment management by companies like BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard Group. BlackRock was founded in 1988. Vanguard was founded in 1975. While State Street was founded in 1792 [as Union Bank], it created the Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipt (SPDR) in 1993. State Street’s SPDR 500 (SPY) Trust exchange-traded fund (ETF) was the first of its kind, and they are now one of the largest ETF providers worldwide. Trading on SPY began January 29, 1993. ETFs are widely used for mutual fund investments by third-party investment companies. The clear demarcation from direct to third-party investment management was the passage of ERISA.
It is interesting to note that while ERISA’s intent was to fix pension problems [crisis], one of the solutions was to introduce the allowance of third-party investment firms. The report from the WEF states:
With economic and demographic fundamentals promoting ever faster growth in institutional assets since around 1980, the stage was set for the emergence of the modern asset management industry.
Sands provides an incisive timeline of events chronicling the shift from direct investment to third-party investment management, and its acquisition of controlling interests in America’s publicly held companies:

What Rhymes with FBI? Publius
JUN 29, 2024 – Mark Twain has been credited with the quip that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” When it comes to corruption and the FBI, he may have been right.
In the late teens to early twenties, evidence began to trickle out in the media suggesting that an individual within the Executive Branch of the United States Government had profited significantly from his official position. Over the course of several years, it became clear that money had flowed from an energy company looking to secure favorable business deals to a self-dealing Executive Branch official. Millions changed hands and the Bureau was called in to investigate.
Yet, the Bureau wasn’t actually there to investigate the corrupt official. They were there to investigate any person asking questions about the corruption. They were there as part of an effort to protect the high-level official from rightful scrutiny for his unexplainable wealth. They were there to intimidate those bringing to light misdeeds and corruption.
If this sounds familiar, it should.
You just may have the century wrong.
The Teapot Dome Scandal rocked the Republican administration of Warren G. Harding. The self-dealing and fraud that gave rise to the Teapot Dome Scandal ultimately resulted in the indictment, conviction, and imprisonment of a member of the President’s cabinet. And the behavior of the Bureau during the scandal resulted in the Attorney General being fired following President Harding’s death.
J. Edgar Hoover was brought in to reform the Bureau. By the time he took control of the law enforcement agency that would eventually become the FBI, the agency had been exposed as having been involved in spying on members of Congress in connection with Congressional investigations into the Teapot Dome Scandal. In the short 20 years of its history, the soon-to-be FBI had devolved from a professional law enforcement agency focused on combatting criminal behavior that crossed state lines to a tool for the party in power to harass and investigate political rivals.
Director Hoover purged the ranks. He saw the purge as a necessary step to change the politicized culture of the Bureau by removing agents and staff hired not on merit, but based on ideology. His later misdeeds aside, Hoover was right about the connection between personnel and policy and the need for a personnel reset at the Bureau.
Despite the fact President Harding was a Republican, it was a Republican Senator who arranged for the Senate to investigate the Teapot Dome scandal. And it was that same Republican who had his office ransacked—presumably by the Bureau—in response. The investigation into the Teapot Dome scandal was shockingly bipartisan. Yet it wasn’t the last time Republicans would demonstrate a willingness to investigate the apparent misdeeds of the Bureau under a Republican Administration.
50 years after the Teapot Dome scandal came to light, evidence again began to trickle out in the media. Questions again were raised whether the Bureau and the broader intelligence community were abusing their authorities and had been used by the Nixon Administration to spy on, investigate, and harass political opponents. Once again, Republican members of Congress rose to the occasion, recognizing the risks that the politically-driven abuse of law enforcement and intelligence authorities posed to the Republic. Republicans participated in the congressional investigations into Watergate and the accompanying abuses of Executive Branch authorities by the Bureau and the intelligence community. Republicans again put party aside and stepped forward and supported an investigation into a Republican Administration. The investigations resulted in significant changes to the Bureau, the broader intelligence community, and how Congress conducted oversight of both.
And here we are today. Another 50 years have passed. Again, evidence of misdeeds has trickled out in the media. Again, questions have been raised about the activities of the Bureau and whether the FBI’s authorities have been usurped for political purposes.
Chevron & the Deep State TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
JUN 29, 2024 – The Supreme Court just struck down the Chevron Doctrine which has poisoned our country for almost 40 years. This is a MAJOR ruling. The people we elect to make the laws aren’t the ones who actually make the laws today – it’s done by unelected bureaucrats in the administrative state.
John McAfee – who allegedly committed suicide after making a video about the administrative state – called these “unelected bureaucrats” the “Deep State” – and I think he paid for that with his life. The “Deep State” basically reports to the NWO – the Globalist oligarchy that wants to strip America of her sovereignty and rule the world.
I don’t think many people really understand what SCOTUS just did by overturning the Chevron deference of 1984. Nor do they understand how it came into existence in the first place.
Since 1984, the Chevron ruling is what has given Federal agencies the power to govern themselves and interpret the law as they see fit. It has given the “Deep State” the power to rig elections, censor opinions, mandate regulations and even remove President Trump with basically no recourse through the courts.
The Chevron doctrine, adopted in 1984, required courts to give deference to the opinion of federal agencies when laws were ambiguous or not clear.
How did Chevron come about in the first place? On June 25, 1984, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in the original Chevron case. It was UNANIMOUSLY decided by Justices William Brennan, Byron White, Harry Blackmum and Lewis Powell and written by John Paul Stevens. Stevens was appointed by Gerald Ford after the swamp drove out Nixon. Ford was a swamp creature himself.
Stevens authored the original Chevron deference opinion. He was allegedly a conservative Justice but his decisions were quite liberal. He retired in 2010 and was replaced by Elena Kagan.
Allegedly, Justices Thurgood Marshall and William Rehnquist did not participate in the 1984 Chevron decision because of illness. Hmm. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor had a financial interest in one of the parties and recused herself to avoid a conflict of interest.
That seems very odd doesn’t it? Why is no one reporting that important fact on a unanimous decision by a fractured SCOTUS that basically handed over power to the Communists for the past 40 years? IMHO, Chevron was a major step in the Communist coup of America – engineered by SCOTUS – during the Reagan administration.
