Democratic State Lawmaker, Husband Killed In ‘Politically-Motivated Assassination’

Democratic Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed in their home overnight in an apparent act of political violence, and Democratic State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were shot and severely wounded in their home.

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz confirmed that Hortman and her husband did not survive during a Saturday morning press conference in which he described Hortman’s killing as a “politically-motivated assassination.” The governor said that he is “cautiously optimistic” that Hoffman and his wife will survive.

Authorities said Saturday that the suspect is believed to have impersonated a law enforcement officer and exchanged gunfire with police overnight, and that the suspect remains at large. Numerous law enforcement entities are engaged in a major manhunt to locate and apprehend the suspect, and local residents have been instructed to shelter in place.

During a Saturday morning press conference, authorities said police recovered a manifesto with a list of political figures from a vehicle at Hortman’s home that included Hortman and Hoffman. Police officials at the conference told residents not to respond to police at their door unless they see two officers together and to call 911 to verify the officers’ identities.

Police confirmed that a vehicle with police lights was parked at Hortman’s house when officers arrived at the scene.

“My good friend and colleague, Speaker Melissa Hortman, and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically-motivated assassination,” Walz said during the press conference. “Our state lost a great leader, and I lost the dearest of friends. Speaker Hortman was someone who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor and a sense of service. She was a formidable public servant, a fixture and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. She is irreplaceable, and will be missed by so many. Minnesota’s thoughts and prayers are with her family, her loved ones, her children and her parents.”

Officials at the press conference told reporters that police were seeking “people of interest.”

This is a developing story and will be updated with additional information.

I’m MAD as Hell, and I’m not going to take it Anymore!

We are witnessing the Destruction of America. Surely, you have heard the old saying, “Those that do not learn History, are doomed to repeat it”? How did we let it happen?

My answer is…it’s always the same! Did you get involved within the last 20 years? Did you say NO, Hell No, this is CRAZY!

Can anyone remember Network, 1976? Here’s a reminder!

(This is for entertainment purposes only). Network

You’ve got to get MAD!

Did you ever say…You’re not going to do that…whatever that was. If you or your family have never seen Network, I strongly recommend you watch it. Powerful messages.

Did you throw out all your common sense and just buy into the WOKE mentality because it is easier?

Do you believe:

  • There are multiple genders.
  • CO2 is poison.
  • The government knows best, and should raise your children.
  • Sexual assault on children or adults is OK
  • Kids graduating without knowledge of reading, writing or math is OK
  • Filling the country with people who hate you, and want to hurt or kill you, is great!
  • Not paying attention to bills that are passed is great!

If you want to know what our problem is and how we got here, just look in the mirror. We created the problem, we own it.

We are the only ones that can FIX THIS!

I was a child of the 60’s. I feel like I am reliving those bad old days. I remember getting up in the mornings, asking my mom, “What buildings or cities do you think will be burned down today? Where is the next riot? When is it going to stop?”

I just could not understand why this was happening. Why people wanted to burn down their own community, colleges, cities resulting in hurting civilians, and law enforcement people. It made no sense. It made no sense.

E Pluribus Unem: Order Out of Chaos

The fact is these Globalists and Communists must create Chaos, because they HATE and despise Western Civilization. They believe that if they create enough Destruction, people will scream for them to clean it up, they become heroes, and get re-elected.

Ulterior Motives

I looked to see who was President during the bulk of the 60s riots. Kennedy, King, and Kennedy were assonated. .The Viet Nam War raged. The country was on edge. Racial inequality, economic disparities and police brutality were the hot topics of the day. Lynden B. Johnson (D) was President, and cities were in financial ruin. Did the Mayors of these cities think, “If I take advantage of the Destruction, we get plenty of money to repair the damage? Did rioting represent another way out of the financial mess? Is Newsom and Bass using that motive as well?

Another problem I see is that the Government always focuses on reacting to a disasters, rather than being proactive and focusing on the root cause of the disasters, and coming up with a plan. They never think of the consequences of their actions.

Sorry, Maxine, destruction of property is not peaceful!

If the people all the way up to the top are not arrested and held to account for their actions, we will have more riots. If funding is not stopped from radical groups, there will be more riots.

If riots continue…the severity, brutality, property damage, injuries, and deaths…escalate.

Pam, the ball is in your court. So far I see nothing and get crickets.

POWER, MONEY, CONTROL is the name of the game.

Once Communists have power, they will do anything possible to keep it. Remember to them, the Ends always justify the means. Lie, Cheat, Steal who cares if you are in power. Where does that power come from. It comes from controlling the government. The House has the power of the purse (MONEY). How do you keep that power? The CENSUS. The more people the more representatives. The more representatives, the more power you have to CONTROL the flow of MONEY. Thanks to SCOTUS, the “Are you a citizen?” question is NOT on the census, so illegals can be counted. The more illegals funneled into Blue states the greater the power. Trump is deporting their power and you support his actions. Therefore, they hate Trump and they Hate you.

President Trump told us what he would do if elected. He is doing it. He did, however, give Globalists plenty of time to prepare. They have been planning this agenda for years. Do not listen to their lies! I ask them constantly, to give me an example of what they say. They never can. All they can say is Trump is a NAZI.

Anyone older than 65 knew the minute Homan said ICE raids, that rioting and devastation would result. Once nothing was done in 2020 to arrest the criminal looters, we knew riots would result. Anyone, with any knowledge of Marxist history, knows that chaos is their game plan. By ignoring their actions, we ultimately suffer the results.

The sad part is, we have allowed these Marxists to infiltrate the minds of our children. Young minds filled with HATE, become the leaders of the future.

Falling into the Abyss

Their future now has become a future of hate, self-loathing, and loneliness. The joy of love for family, G-d, and country falls into the Abyss, to be forgotten forever. The ideals that make America what it is, are forgotten. The patriotic desire to put America First has been replaced with the symbol of burning the flag.

Our children and young people’s minds are replaced by devices loaded with AI algorithms, telling them every move they are to make while watching everything they do.

We cannot allow the election of President Donald Trump to be just a speed bump in the road only used to slow us down!

We must act. You see what is going on in Congress. The same RINOS, doing the bidding of the Establishment, not the people. To them, America First…is really, America LAST. Time to get rid of these RINOS.

This weekend is the 250th Anniversary of our great military, as well as Flag Day, and President Trumps’ birthday. This weekend may also be the beginning of WWIII.

Wish President Trump a Happy Birthday. See the parade showing our great military. Pray that Americ is not pushed into another forever war.

Then, ask your family if they know what the Flag represents. Can they recite the Pledge of Allegiance? Do they know what it means, since the Pledge is no longer taught in schools? Here is a refresher:

I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America

This addresses the Jurisdiction in the Constitution, you pledge to follow the laws of America and to the Republic for which it stands

America is a Republic representing self-rule, Not a Democracy, representing Government rule

One Nation

United we stand, divided we fall

Under G-d

We follow G-d laws, Globalists must eliminate any entity higher than the govt. To them the Government is G-d

Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

undivided, where all citizens are equal in the eyes of the law, patriotism

CRASH & BURN

Don’t sit on the sidelines watching America crash and burn. Step up, and do your part. Vote in Primaries and Elections. Pay attention to local events, take action, vote out RINOs.

GET MAD!

Enjoy this weekend, and join me on americaoutloud.news

Marxist ‘NO Kings’ Turmoil and Devastation

It was ten days prior to the 2016 Presidential Election when the Lord moved me to write and publish that He had called Trump to be the next leader of America much like He had called Cyrus to lead the Jews back from annihilation. Cyrus was not a Jew. He didn’t even believe in God but was very wealthy, successful, a strong and accomplished leader, blunt and not “politically correct” and knew how to move people in a productive manner, get things done and how to win. Trump was similar I agreed but I brought my case before the Lord for several days stating, among other things, Hillary Clinton was ahead and actually had quit campaigning the last ten days; Trump was strong but not well versed on some issues plaguing America; he had a questionable network of conservatives who would line up with him, he did not understand the workings of “inside” Washington, DC, the swamp nor had sufficient key advisors who would prove loyal to his agenda. I argued but the Lord clearly said to me, “I have chosen this man for this time to accomplish My Will for this country I ordained.” (Please order my quick reading book “Our Forefathers Truly Appealed to Heaven“).

From the moment Donald J. Trump took the Oath as President, the Elite Global Marxists went to work to remove him, remember? Two Impeachments, numerous court cases, accusations and charges, swamp acolytes surrounding him as advisors, a fight every step he took to save America from going over the cliff economically and lead nation in the world to maintain peace. A strong leader and force to bring order and help restore America to stability; not at all what the swamp has seen in quite a while, nor wants. A simple overview of Trump’s agenda:

  • Creative ways to use tariffs and bring monies back into America
  • Remove 20 million illegals; yes, ILLEGALS who did not enter America according to our laws nor intend to become legal
  • Identify and Stop federal funds (taxpayer dollars) being blatantly wasted
  • Restore national sovereignty and avoid the collapse of America into the New-World Order, no national sovereignty
  • Restore military to international strength and respect
  • Keep America from declaring bankruptcy and a depression

The riots unfolding across our country and about to quadruple in size within the next day or two are part of the new plan to ruin Trump and all he has accomplished since January 20th. Trump severely derailed the onset of the New-World Order in 2016, and the Global Marxists here and abroad thought Trump was, but a memory given all the lawsuits and including two assassination attempts. But God! Again, I believe God raised him from that platform in Pennsylvania with blood dripping down his right side and brought him into leadership once again to save this nation from a definite pathway to severe crumbling without being able to rise again. Trump is not perfect. Trump has flaws like each one of us but the Lord in ways that seem most peculiar employs those whom He chooses, whom He has prepared whether they are fully aware or not, whether we fully agree or not.

Ladies and Gentlemen, America is facing a deeper and diabolical crisis even beyond the degradation unfolding in cities across our land. Well-planned, strongly coordinated and well financed with dedicated followers even willing to be sacrificed for the good of the Marxist Plan to collapse America is underway. It actually began the day Trump won election but remained under the radar. Last March a full-page Ad appeared in the NY Times urging Americans to “mobilize against The King,” against Trump. Christy Walton, who carefully crafted an image of a respectful philanthropist, contributed from her $19 Billion wealth to pay for her Ad and help finance the current “No Kings” riots now scheduled to be over 1,800 protests simultaneously across America. Neville Singham and wife, Jodie Evans, both founders of the Marxist activist organization Code-Pink are another example of Americans who used the capitalist system of America to make gobs of money, enjoy the fruits of America but unabashedly donate, support and fully engage in Chinese Communist plans to collapse America. How about “CHIRLA” the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. This organization received approximately $34 Million in government grants in fiscal year 2023 alone! This was an increase from the $12 Million the year prior, and these funds came from California State sources. Elections have consequences!

The entire “No King” operation is marketed as a patriot grass roots resistance against Trump’s growing power and dictatorship – America does not do or allow kings. Make NO mistake the riots and related turmoil is not patriot resistance; they are public displays the Elites and Marxists developed to create serious civil unrest, confusion, damage and clearly to undermine the President so he cannot continue along his path to restore America. Will it work? Will Americans stand up and shout, “Enough!” Like Cyrus who saved the Jews from going over an economic, political and social cliff, Trump is working to save America from a similar juggernaut. We need to stand with him or lose our country.

From LA riots to war with Russia, China and Iran, it’s all proceeding according to script

As promises of peace fall apart, the globalist plan for the final takedown of America is entering its final stage. Will it succeed? 

I have long held the view that the globalists’ plan for the final takedown of America will involve getting us into a major international war at the same time we’re engulfed in growing civil strife and possible civil war at home.

In other words, let them fight each other while fighting Russia, China and Iran simultaneously. That’s enough to take down any superpower. In the fog of war and with now comfortable lives turned upside down by death and destruction, the globalists will roll out their AI-powered digital surveillance slave-state — a beast system nobody will be able to avoid or resist because it will make Orwell’s Big Brother look like a benevolent dictator.

And that script is proceeding right on schedule with the riots heating up in Los Angeles and now spreading to other cities, while at the same time we see President Trump’s so-called peace talks breaking down with Russia and Iran.

The latest round of nuclear talks with Iran, set for Sunday, have now been canceled.

The Cradle reports that Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said Wednesday that Tehran will strike US military bases in the region if nuclear talks fail and Washington decides to launch an attack on the Islamic Republic. We can also count on countless Islamic cells being activated in the U.S., cells that have been preparing for years for what the Muslim Brotherhood refers to as a “zero hour event.”

Warning the US to leave the region in the case of any conflict, the Iranian defense minister stated:

“Some officials on the other side threaten conflict if negotiations don’t come to fruition. If a conflict is imposed on us… all US bases are within our reach and we will boldly target them in host countries.”

He said Iran had recently tested a missile with a two-ton warhead, adding that:

“We have made very good progress in defense affairs. Our operational forces are fully equipped. If a conflict is imposed on us, the casualties of the other party will definitely be much heavier than ours.”

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is done with Trump’s two-faced efforts to end the war with Ukraine and Putin has now launched what looks like a final massive assault designed to collapse the Kiev regime.

Trump boasted during his campaign that he would end the war in Ukraine “in 24 hours.” He also talked a lot about getting Iran to give up its nuclear program. But his whole strategy against Iran seems predicated on the notion that “if you don’t do what I say and stop enriching uranium, we will bomb you into oblivion.” Predictably, both of Trump’s efforts in Ukraine and Iran have ended in failure. And, honestly, I’m not convinced they were ever intended to succeed. Washington is built for war, not diplomacy.

The script always calls for war. All talks of peace in Ukraine were simply meant to give Ukraine some temporary breathing space to re-arm and re-organize its exhausted military forces. Putin was too smart to accept a deal like that. He demanded one that addressed the “root causes” of the war, which go back to the 2014 Washington-instigated coup that installed a Western puppet regime in Kiev and built its army into the largest in Europe, for the sole purpose of using it as a battering ram against Russia. Ukraine is NATO’s proxy, everyone with half a brain can see that, and the war had no other purpose other than trying to deal a strategic defeat to Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

The last two remaining obstacles to the New World Order are America and Russia. They are too strong individually to be folded into a global superstate. The globalists need to take down those two countries before they can proceed with redrawing maps and setting up their one-world totalitarian system based on digital IDs and digital tokenization of everything. What better way to destroy America and Russia than to pit them against each other in World War III?

So don’t be surprised when the war continues even after Ukraine is defeated. That’s because the war was never about Ukraine. It’s about defeating Russia. As crazy as that sounds, they believe they can do it, ignoring the risk of a nuclear holocaust.

Ukraine is just Act One of World War III, the launching pad but not the final destination. NATO will not back off of its plans to defeat and Balkanize Russia, the only question is whether Donald Trump will join in the fight or leave that one to the Europeans. If the neocons Trump surrounds himself with get their way, the U.S. will be all in for war with Russia, and that means war with China and North Korea as well. It’s a given they want war with Iran and I believe Trump has already committed to striking the Islamic Republic now that his fake peace talks have been extinguished.

So amid all the talk about bringing peace, the West will continue the escalations, even to the point of a nuclear exchange. The madmen and madwomen in Washington, London, Paris, Brussels and Berlin will never let go of their anti-Russia obsession. Even if they have to take on half the world to get at Putin, they will jump at the chance.

Trump still has the chance to hold off the hard-charging war hogs and fulfill his pledge to be a “peace president,” but will he? It would take a lot of courage at this point to go against the necon warmongers in Congress and in his own Cabinet. Powerful Senators like Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Tom Cotton of Arkansas serve the interests, not of peace-loving American citizens, but of the profit-driven military-industrial-intelligence complex. Secretary of State Marco Rubio worked for the same interests during his long career in the Senate, so why would he suddenly change his stripes and advise the president at this pivotal time to make any serious effort to avoid World War III with Russia, China, Iran and North Korea?

Pray for peace while preparing for war. Now is the time to stock up on essentials. Get enough food and water to supply your family for at least a couple of months should the supply lines get disrupted. You should also stock up now on the little things that come mostly from China and won’t be available once the war kicks off in earnest. Things like matches, lighters, candles, gasoline and gasoline containers. Most important of all, establish a relationship with your neighbors and get right with God.

Fewer Americans Believe ‘Changing Gender’ Is ‘Morally Acceptable’: Poll

A new Gallup poll shows the LGBT agenda continues to lose support, as fewer Americans believe attempting to change one’s gender is “morally acceptable” than felt that way in 2021.

“The current 40% of U.S. adults who believe that changing genders is morally acceptable is down six points from 2021, while the latest 54% who think it is morally wrong is similar to prior readings,” stated the poll, released this week. “Partisans’ opinions differ significantly, with 71% of Democrats, 45% of independents and 9% of Republicans saying that changing one’s gender is morally acceptable. Republicans’ opinions have changed the most since 2021, falling by 13 points.”

While the number of Democrats who support transgenderism has risen since 2021, the support among registered Independents has fallen by three percentage points and six points among all American adults during the same time. Gallup similarly found Republican support for same-sex marriage crumbling.

The poll is one of many showing the LGBT agenda losing support in recent years. The percentage of Americans who believe same-sexual relationships are “morally acceptable” fell by 7% last year, the largest decrease of any of the moral issues posed by Gallup pollsters in their annual Values and Beliefs poll, released last June. A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released last Friday found that 82% of parents favor “legislation that would strengthen parental rights over their children”; 77% oppose transgender injections or surgeries for minors (including 67% of Democrats and 77% of Independents); and 70% say schools should not teach children their gender is a choice (including 54% of Democrats).

Another poll found, since 2022, the American people have become:

  • 10 points more likely to say the transgender industry should not be able to prey on minors
  • 8 points more likely to support laws protecting sex-specific spaces such as restrooms
  • 8 points more likely to oppose allowing transgender-identified athletes to compete against athletes of the opposite sex
  • 6 points more likely to say public education should not smuggle transgender ideology into the classroom

“First, the mood of the country has changed, so people probably feel more free to say what they actually believe,” Joseph Backholm, senior fellow for Biblical Worldview and Strategic Engagement at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. “Cancel culture has lost much of its power so people don’t perceive the same risk from saying there are only two sexes and they can’t be changed.”

“Second,” he continued, “people understand its not just a matter of personal choice. There are consequences for what we believe, and pretending we can be anything we want is creating cultural chaos.”

Can You Handle the Truth!

For the last 20 years I have reported on Agenda 21. As a result, when I ran for office I was put on the Southern Poverty Law Center list of domestic terrorists. I was yelled at, called names, and had people walk out of seminars that I conducted. But it didn’t matter.  The truth is the Truth, and once you see it you can’t unsee it! The truth doesn’t go away. It doesn’t change from person to person, from story to story, from show to show.

We created a wonderful group of patriots, called The Agenders (patriots exposing and ending Agenda 21).

I said we were like farmers sowing the seeds of the plan called Agenda 21. We were educating the people and asking that they share the message. Today, I can see that evil plan unfolding right before my eyes.

The Globalists are determined to Destroy our way of Life

They are determined to make sure that no one, except them, owns anything including their own lives!

It is the Goal of Globalists to own, and control, EVERY ASPECT of Human Activity.

I am happy to see that many wonderful American Patriots have decided that the truth is most important; owning their lives and living their own lives is more important than living as a slave under the dictates of a technocratic group of evil criminals. We can no longer depend upon our government to bring us the Truth on anything. We prayed and we voted for Donald Trump,  considering the circumstances and uphill battle, is doing an amazing job.

The tentacles of Agenda 21 are so very deep and so distorted. The Marxist youth of the ’60s have become the rulers of today. They use the climate hoaxes to spread their warped and twisted ideology. Carbon dioxide is not the enemy. Carbon dioxide sustains life.  Without CO2 we would be dead.

That is the Goal: Global Depopulation

Plants thrive on carbon dioxide. Animals thrive when plants thrive, because food is abundant. Fossil fuel creates energy, which is a source of power. According to these globalists  abundant cheap energy cannot be given to the ordinary population.

Land cannot be controlled by an ordinary person,  because it creates inequity. Therefore, the government must control all land. Everything, and I mean everything, will be systematically doled out to only those who continue to carry forward the distorted globalist message.

Remember their goal: DEPOPULATION. Less people, less problems.

We must become Truth Warriors

Their goal is the only thing that counts, and their goal is to depopulate the planet as quickly as possible.

On today’s show you will hear about vaccines and the destruction that they are doing to humanity. They have turned humanity into a group of Lab Rats and we are subjects of their experimentation on all diseases known to man.

They lied, and tried to kill all of our cows for farting. They killed millions of chickens, for no reason. They are trying to destroy our food with biochemicals. What we see is an attack on Humanity,  because they hate Humanity.

To Globalists, we are too stupid, to be allowed to live!

How do we get rid of these people? We must continue to fight. Our weapon of choice must be Truth.  We must fight the media, call them out and not accept their lies.  We must fight for true elections, vetting people but recognize that no one is perfect. If the candidate does not understand the goals of Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030, then they don’t belong in office. We must do that by paying attention to our primaries. If we don’t get the right people in office, the President’s Agenda for the people stops. Our legislators in our states anre stopped, and insane rules and regulations stay in the forefront.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch the 2 documentaries in the links below…

The History of Marxism in America: AGENDA: Grinding America Down | Curtis Bowers

Our Future Already Here: The Agenda: Their Vision – Your Future (2025)

Invite others over for a movie night, and watch with a pad and pen. You probably will want to see them more than once but they explain the history and the future they have in store for us, unless we Act.

Saving America is up to us!

So please, I ask you to share this newsletter.  Share the podcast.  Share the documentaries. Then choose your passion, and work to expose the Truth. Make sure that you and everyone you know, vets new candidates and votes in the Primaries. We can no longer have RINOS elected by 19% of the vote, and be happy.  It is up to us to Keep America First, the leader in this troubled world.

Let Truth be our weapon, for it is the only thing that counts.

Conservative Podcaster Mark Kaye Announces Candidacy for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 5th Congressional District

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., /PRNewswire/ — Conservative podcaster, entrepreneur, and digital media firebrand Mark Kaye officially announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives, launching a bold grassroots campaign to oust incumbent Republican Congressman John Rutherford in Florida’s 5th Congressional District.

Kaye, known for his popular daily podcasts Mark Kaye Saves the Republic and The 47 Daily, has built a reputation for cutting through political nonsense with humor, truth, and fearless commentary.

“I’ve been shouting into microphones and TV cameras about these lazy politicians for years, but nothing’s changed,” said Kaye. “So I will go to Washington and shout at them from the House floor!”

Mark Kaye will be challenging incumbent Republican John Rutherford in the 2026 GOP primary. Rutherford has come under fire from conservative voters for supporting Democrat-backed legislation, including funding for Ukraine, the weaponized IRS, and taxpayer-funded gender surgeries.

Kaye warns that Democrats could very easily win the House of Representatives in the midterm elections and sideline President Trump’s “America First” agenda.

“If that happens,” says Kaye, “We’re going to need a loud, combative conservative to fight, fight, fight every single day. John Rutherford is not that guy. I am.”

A fierce advocate for free speech and small business, Kaye has also pledged to stand up for Conservative voices being silenced online and to push back against Big Tech censorship.

His campaign will lean heavily on grassroots energy, digital outreach, and the loyal support of thousands of his listeners called “Kayetriots” across Florida and beyond. Kaye’s online announcement video is already going viral and donations are pouring in from around the country.

About Mark Kaye:

Red, White, and Ready: GOP Candidates Curtis Sliwa, Alina Bonsell, Michael Henry, and Janine Acquafredda Electrify Puerto Rican Day Parade Float

NEW YORK, NY /PRNewswire/ — The 68th Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade, held on Sunday June 8, 2025 was not only a vibrant display of culture and heritage — it also became a powerful stage for the Republican movement gaining ground across the city. This year’s most talked-about float featured four standout candidates who are reshaping the conversation around local leadership: Curtis SliwaMichael HenryAlina Bonsell, and Janine Acquafredda. Together, they sent a unified message to the voters of New York: Republican voices are here, they’re credible, and they’re ready to lead.

WATCH: GOP Candidates Sliwa, Bonsell, Henry, Acquafredda Electrify Puerto Rican Day Parade Float

Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels and the people’s candidate for mayor, led the float with his trademark grit and independence. Sliwa remains a threat to establishment politicians precisely because he can’t be bought. He says what others won’t, does what others fear, and has become a voice for every New Yorker who feels ignored by political elites.

Positioned at the front of the Republican float, beside Curtis Sliwa, was Alina Bonsell, the Republican candidate on the general election ballot for City Council District 5, running against Democratic incumbent Julie Menin, who is seeking reelection to a second term. Bonsell is a moderate Republican who grew up in New York City and has lived in Manhattan for over 20 years. She has emerged as a serious and credible alternative. Her campaign focuses on restoring transparency, accountability, and practical solutions to city government — a platform that contrasts sharply with Menin’s legislative record and policy choices. While Menin often highlights her “20 years of experience,” her tenure has coincided with rising commercial rents, the closure of long-standing small businesses, and an affordability crisis that continues to displace middle-class families. Bonsell’s platform centers on small business protections, parental rights, and pragmatic reforms aimed at improving quality of life for residents across District 5.

One of the most telling examples is Menin’s role as Chair of the City Council’s Small Business Committee in 2021, a position she was appointed to by then-Mayor Bill de Blasio. That year, the Council considered the Small Business Jobs Survival Act — one of the most comprehensive commercial tenant protection bills introduced in decades. The bill, which had majority support among Council Members, would have granted small business owners the right to renew 10-year leases and negotiate fair terms with landlords. Despite its public backing and legislative support, Menin refused to hold even a single hearing. She let the bill die — knowing full well that if business owners and voters were given the chance to compare her developer-friendly record with the protections the bill offered, they would side against her. As a result, for the first time in over 36 years, New York City has no legislation granting commercial tenants any rights when their leases expire. While thousands of small businesses continue to close across the city, those protections were never allowed to move forward under her watch. Why would a sitting chairwoman of the Small Business Committee block a bill with majority support and clear public backing? There’s never been a clear explanation — though it’s worth noting that Menin is married to real estate developer Bruce Menin.

Bonsell, by contrast, has made protecting small businesses and working families a cornerstone of her campaign. She has emphasized that voters are tired of politicians who say one thing and do another — especially when policies fail to match promises. One example is the so-called “Fair Act,” which eliminated the ability of working-class realtors and leasing agents to collect broker commissions from landlords. Agents went from earning 100% to 0%, effectively gutting the incomes of those helping keep the city’s housing market moving. Julie Menin voted in favor of the act, a move critics say further deepened the city’s affordability crisis under the guise of tenant protection.

That same issue also propelled fellow float-rider Janine Acquafredda, a Brooklyn-based real estate broker, into the race for Brooklyn Borough President. Acquafredda — who is half Puerto Rican and half Italian — saw firsthand how the Fair Act undercut hardworking agents across the city. Her campaign now speaks directly to communities being squeezed not only by rising costs, but by well-intentioned policies that often produce harmful, unintended consequences.

Also on the float was Michael Henry, the Republican frontrunner for New York Attorney General. Henry came within just 9.26 points of unseating Letitia James in 2022 — a remarkable showing in a state dominated by Democrats. With over 45% of the vote and growing financial and organizational support, he’s positioning himself for a successful rematch in 2026. His performance proves that New Yorkers are ready for a candidate who prioritizes law, order, and fiscal responsibility — not partisanship.

Together, these candidates represent a new Republican force — one rooted in community, common sense, and courage. If the Puerto Rican Day Parade was any indication, 2025 will not be business as usual in New York politics. This isn’t just another election year. It’s a political realignment — and it’s already underway.

Many of them will attend Alina Bonsell’s upcoming fundraiser, hosted by WABC radio host Sid Rosenberg, this Thursday, June 12, at D.O.M. Cocktail Bar & Lounge in Manhattan. Attendees will hear directly from Bonsell and other special guests while enjoying sushi, cocktails, and meaningful conversation about the future of New York.

My Thoughts on the Little Swedish Hypocrite

Early this morning the Israeli navy took control of the British-flagged yacht Madleen, emphasis on Mad, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which was attempting to enter a war zone to give comfort adsupport to the genocidal death cult that invaded my country killing, torturing, raping, and kidnapping hundreds in including our elderly, girls, and babies.

The vessel, carrying 12 activists including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, was intercepted without incident, and no injuries were reported.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the passengers were unharmed, provided with food and water, and would be repatriated to their home countries. The Ministry dismissed the flotilla as a “media stunt” and emphasised that the small amount of aid aboard would be delivered through authorised humanitarian channels.

The first thing this lying little Scandinavian told the press was,

“‘IDF soldiers kidnapped me.”

Give me a break!

Kidnapped?

Is this what a “kidnapped” person looks like? Getting a sandwich, water, and a free plane ticket to take her back home!

How dare she say those words when there are real Israeli hostages who’ve been held in tunnels under Gaza in hellish conditions for over 600 days!

She wasn’t going to Gaza to give water or a sandwich to our hostages – or even to visit them.

So spare me your moralising as the Western press fawn over you.

Our hostages didn’t get the press fawning over them as they are with this little ionized liar.

Neither the press, nor the Western politicians particularly the Scandinavian ones of which she belongs, have lifted a finger to force Hamas to release our lived ones.

On the contrary, they have booed and jeeered at Israel every day for a year and a half.

There are no limits to Greta’s lies.

She has made her fame and fortune over empty stunts like this and attracted millions of mainly immature activists willing to echo her every empty word, including those in the cause of a Palestinian death cult and against the one Jewish state that is under constant attack by evil regimes including but not exclusively Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and within the Palestinian movement.

Would she perform this pantomime against Sweden if this death cult had invaded her country, killed over two thousand of her fellow Swedes, and taken 400 hostages, including members of her family and friends?

I doubt it.

So spare me your moralizing.

You are nothing but a vacuous political hypocrite.

The Sesame Street Seduction

No stranger has ever seduced a child with spinach. Predators understand that seducing a child requires offering something the child wants or providing something that engages the child. So it is with educational seduction.

Preschool educational television program Sesame Street, originally created to help young children from low-income families prepare for school and stimulate their desire to learn, first aired in November 1969. The show was spectacularly successful with children from all socio-economic backgrounds across America, who watched their beloved Muppet characters, and learned letters, numbers, geometric forms, classification, ordering, problem-solving, and social interactions. Sesame Street revolutionized children’s programming and proved that children could learn through visual media. Edutainment, a new genre in television programming was born.

After decades of success teaching foundational skills in reading and mathematics, and helping children learn through music, iconic characters, and repetition, Sesame Street at 55 years old is no longer recognizable––Sesame Street has gone woke. The astonishing educational success of Sesame Street made it a prime-time target for those who understood how easily the programming could be repurposed and used for anti-American, anti-family woke indoctrination. Education is a dual-use industry, and the fall of Sesame Street represents the capture of the American education industry at the pre-school level. Sesame Street is now a favored edutainment weapon of the globalist War on America that targets our nation’s youngest children.

Globalist Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) articulated the power of educational indoctrination. “Chapter 15, Obama’s Grand Plan: Fundamental Transformation” from my 2022 release The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage, further explains how educational indoctrination is the long-range tactical strategy for globalism’s strategic goal to rule the world:

The value of educational propaganda in the globalist campaign is described in chilling detail by English aristocrat Lord Bertrand Russell in his 1953 classic, The Impact of Science on Society.81 Educational indoctrination is the primary instrument for eliminating objective reality, dismissing the American family, subverting American culture, and destroying America from within. Russell unapologetically explained the process that drives a society to madness:

It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.

Education should aim at destroying free will so that pupils thus schooled, will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. . . . Influences of the home are obstructive; not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten; in order to condition students, verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. . . . It is for a future scientist to make these maxims precise and to discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. (pp. 27–28, Routledge Classics, 2016 edition)

Russell echoed Lenin’s statement: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

John Dewey (1859-1952) considered to be the Father of American Education, was an unapologetic globalist who advanced Russell’s elitist position that the purpose of education is social engineering with the goal of establishing a new social order. Dewey considered education a social process, and the school a social institution where social reform should take place. His formula eliminates the development of critical-thinking skills in children. Without critical-thinking skills, individuals are easily manipulated and indoctrinated; like children, they simply accept what they are told.

“Chapter 6, John Dewey: The Father of Weaponized Education in America” also from my 2022 release The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage, exposes how education is a dual-use industry that can be exploited for political gain.

Dewey’s influence on American education is unprecedented. His progressive educational reform movement remains the foundation of American education. Its anti-American political goals have been wildly successful in transforming American education from a source of American strength and prosperity to a weapon of mass American destruction.

History validates Dewey’s deception and its value as a weapon in the war on America. The coda16 to education reformer Bruce Deitrick Price’s October 1, 2012, American Thinker article, “John Dewey is a Fraud'” exposes Dewey’s arrogant and deceitful scheme for social engineering:

John Dewey, the world-famous educator, was retained circa 1920 by the new [Vladimir Lenin] Russian government to advise on the implementation of his progressive ideas throughout the USSR. Circa 1932, the communist government realized that Dewey’s progressive education had created a generation of ignorant delinquents. The communists in Russia banished Dewey’s ideas from their country. Meanwhile, the communists et al in the United States celebrated Dewey and his policies.

The globalists embraced both the communists and John Dewey and continue to exploit Dewey’s progressive ideas to weaponize education against America in order to collapse America from within. Sesame Street is now an active participant in the captured and weaponized American education industry, designed to break down traditional American values and replace them with communism. It is essential for the reader to recognize that Marxism, socialism, and even the word democracy as written by Karl Marx, are all synonyms for communism. Why do the globalists want communism? Because communism rejects individualism, embraces collectivism, and provides the top-down binary socio-political infrastructure required for the globalist Unistate.

Five of the forty-five communist goals listed by W. Cleon Skousen in his 1958 book, The Naked Communist are of particular interest:

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

The deceitful tactic the globalists have chosen for introducing communism in the Sesame Street seduction, is multiculturalism. This is how it works.

In June 2025, with the gentle and inclusive words, “On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are,” Sesame Street honored LGBT Pride Month. One might even think that recognizing LGBT Pride Month with its LGBT poster of the multicolored Muppet characters’ arms and hands clasped in the formation of the LGBT flag would be sufficient. But you would be wrong. Sesame Street is seducing your children with lovable characters and verses set to music and repeatedly intoned and grooming them to become woke citizens of the globalist Unistate. Homosexuality is presented to preschoolers as a cultural variation that demands multicultural acceptance.

Consider this disturbing report published June 3, 2025, on LifeSiteNews, “Sesame Street ‘Pride Month’ posts reinforce Republican legislators’ push to defund PBS“:

“PBS is grooming children on American taxpayers’ dime. This is unacceptable. Congress must defund them and hold the executives accountable,” added Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona. Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and the House Republican Study Committee (RSC) issued similar denunciations.

A staple of children’s edutainment programing multiple generations of Americans have grown up with, Sesame Street and its current creators have for years hijacked the beloved property to feed impressionable children the social agenda of adult liberals, from introducing a same-sex couple with a child to teach preschoolers that “families come in all forms” to vaccinating Elmo to promote COVID-19 shots.

Last month [May 2025], President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut federal funding to PBS and National Public Radio (NPR), though it has been challenged in court. On Tuesday, the White House submitted to Congress a rescission package requesting it codify the elimination of $9.4 billion for PBS, NPR, and foreign aid.

The social engineering on Sesame Street is not a new phenomenon introduced in 2025, and neither are the debates about what should and should not be included in its programming. On November 15, 2019, USA TODAY published an opinion piece by Naomi Moland titled “After 50 years, it’s past time to bring human LGBTQ+ characters to America’s Sesame Street.” Moland, a faculty member at the School of International Service at American University, is in a same-sex marriage. She advocates making homosexuality familiar and normalizing same-sex marriage so that children perceive same-sex marriage as a marriage like any other. Interestingly, in the article she reports that Sesame Street is viewed in 150 countries, acknowledges that Muppets are not sexual, they are puppets, and that making them sexual might hurt Sesame Street’s standing around the world:

Sesame Workshop needs to find a way to include gay characters on the American version of the program without jeopardizing its international programming. Just like it has “localized” the program to children’s needs in other countries, the American Sesame Street should reflect American culture by including openly LGBTQ+ human characters. Other international versions, which are co-created by Americans and local producers, will need to decide how to handle the issue in their own countries. …It is surprising that the American Sesame Street has avoided talking about gay families. Since the program’s inception, it has celebrated all kinds of families: interracial families; single parents; military families; families with an incarcerated parent; and families struggling with addiction. In the U.S., where gay marriage is legal nationwide and 61% of Americans approve of gay marriage, presenting an LGBTQ+ family is a logical next step (perhaps overdue) in Sesame’s celebration of diverse families. …

In the meantime, Sesame Workshop needs to bring LGBTQ+ human characters onto Sesame Street. The creators would be following their own localization policies by tailoring the American program to address American culture, which is certainly ready to celebrate — and debate — a human LGBTQ+ family. But big parts of our planet aren’t. We need to respect their cultures, too, if we want Bert, Ernie and Sesame Street to remain on the world’s airwaves.

The shocking assumption intrinsic in Moland’s self-serving op-ed is that Americans want progressive cultural changes that accept homosexual marriage as a marriage like any other. First, Moland’s progressive ideas require definition. What does progressive education actually mean? Progress toward what?? Most Americans use the word progressive in its colloquial sense to mean advancing toward something embraced by traditional American culture. John Dewey, however, makes it very clear that progressive education is designed to replace America and traditional American culture with a globalist new world order. The extraordinary success of Dewey’s progressive educational indoctrination is apparent in the 61% approval statistic Moland cites above. The article begins and ends with these words:

In Pew Research Center polling in 2004, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a margin of 60% to 31%. …Support for same-sex marriage has steadily grown over the past 15 years. And today, support for same-sex marriage remains near its highest point since Pew Research Center began polling on this issue. Based on polling in 2019, a majority of Americans (61%) support same-sex marriage, while 31% oppose it.The increase in the share of adults who favor same-sex marriage over the past 15 years is due in part to generational change. Younger generations express higher levels of support for same-sex marriage.

Similarly, progressive education seeks to redefine the word family. Operating on the principle that familiarity brings acceptance, on June 16, 2021, Sesame Street introduced the first married same-sex couple and their daughter to be recurring characters in an episode titled “Family Day.” The introduction of a same-sex couple designed to familiarize preschoolers with same-sex couples was reviewed on June 22, 2021 in a LifeSiteNews article titled “Sesame Street introduces ‘married’ dads in ‘Family Day’ propaganda episode“:

In yet another display of LGBT cultural aggression, long-running children’s program Sesame Street has introduced a same-sex couple with a child to teach preschoolers that “families come in all forms. …”

The concerted effort to infuse children’s shows with LGBT characters and messages appears intended to, at a minimum, force families into discussions for which parents may feel their children are too young, as well as set up conflicts between the shows’ feel-good presentation of controversial issues and parents’ own values.

This is “grooming, plain and simple,” The Federalist’s Joy Pullmann wrote in response to Blue’s Clues’ recent “pride” parade segment. “It is training children to be comfortable with things they should be uncomfortable with and remain unexposed to until puberty and following, for their own well-being. To allege otherwise is gaslighting.”

Lessons about families from different cultures, different countries, different races, and different religions are very different than lessons about same-sex couples, same-sex marriage, and same-sex families. The insidious campaign to sexualize children is an unacceptable intrusion into family life and assault on parental authority, that is reflected in progressive education’s campaign to sexualize Muppets on Sesame Street, and inappropriately introduce sexual concepts to children who are far too young.

From Lenin to Russell to Dewey to Sesame Street, the communist intrusion into American education has gotten younger and younger. Sesame Street’s woke communist edutainment advances communist goals 24, 25, 26, 40, and 41, dramatizing that before the age of ten; in order to condition students, verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. The Sesame Street seduction is social engineering on a pre-school level that manifests Lenin’s statement: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

The communist goal has always been to eliminate parental authority and substitute the authority of the state––and its unseemly 21st-century partner is Sesame Street. There is nothing innocent or compassionate about the Sesame Street seduction that tactically exploits homosexuality as multiculturalism, in order to effect communist goals 24, 25, 26, 40, and 41.

Released Israeli Hostage Recounts Barbarous Details of His Imprisonment

Tal Shoham and his family were visiting his in-laws for Sukkot (the Feast of Booths) when, in the early morning hours of October 7, 2023, radical Islamist terrorists burst into the unsuspecting kibbutz, changing his life and the lives of his family forever. For 505 days, Shoham endured ridicule, deprivation, uncertainty, and abuse until his release on February 22, 2025.

Taken to Gaza

“The terrorists just came, dozens of them, fully armed, to an unarmed community in the kibbutz,” Shoham related at Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C. “After they broke into the room, they took me out first,” he said. “They threw me into a trunk of a car and just drove to Gaza.”

Shoham had no way to know that the terrorist kidnapped nine members of his wife’s family gathered for the holiday and murdered four more, including his father-in-law. Nor did he know, until much later, that his wife “ran after” and “struggled with the terrorists with great bravery” to prevent her separation from their daughters, ages eight and three.

“When we arrived in Gaza, one of the terrorists jumped on the roof of the car and pointed his Kalashnikov on me and told me to get down on my knees,” Shoham continued. “And I knew in that moment — I could see it in his eyes — that he wanted to execute me. … He didn’t manage to kill enough people” during the terrorist incursion into Israel.

Though captured, Shoham would not die quietly. “So, I raised my hand, and I argued with him that, ‘You can do whatever you like, but I’m not going to my knees.’ I surrendered and, practically, he should not kill me,” he said. “We argued like that for half a minute. And then another terrorist just took me in the shelter.”

“We started to walk in the streets of Gaza, searching for a place to hide,” said Shoham, “because they probably didn’t have a plan [of] what to do with us after they kidnapped us.” Despite the radical decentralization of Hamas foot soldiers, officials ratified their initiative in taking hostages.

“Then a policeman on a motorbike came and … put me on the bike and did a parade in the street in the main streets of Gaza, shouting, ‘We got a Jewish soldier,’ or something like that,” Shoham continued. “Everyone was shouting and happy and tried to beat me with sticks and fists. But I was lucky enough that the motorbike didn’t stay enough time in every spot.”

Solitary Confinement

“After a while, another police car came. And they put me inside it and took me to a hidden house of one of their leaders,” Shoham said. “They shackled me with military grade handcuffs, [and] I was like that for 34 days, 24/7 … in solitary [confinement], handcuffed, and starved.”

“It was one of the most intense periods of my life, because I could not stop thinking about my family,” he recalled. “I didn’t have anything to do there because I was alone. So, it’s like compulsive thoughts going on and on and on.” For the first 50 days, Shoham knew nothing about what became of his family. “I didn’t have peace of mind the whole time because all day long I thought [about] what happened to them, and if they were murdered, if they were kidnapped.”

“But, after 50 days, I received a letter from my wife describing that they were kidnapped and … they were about to be released,” he said. “I knew that now I have a reason to come back, and there will be a family that will wait [for] me if I will survive it.”

Tal’s wife, Adi Shoham, was released as part of the first and largest prisoner exchange on November 25, along with her daughters, Naveh and Yahel, and her mother, Shoshan Haran.

Bonds Forged through Captivity

After just over a month in solitary confinement, Shoham “was really glad” to be joined by two younger hostages, Guy Dalal and Evyatar David, “so I [wouldn’t] be alone anymore.” The three hostages “forged a bond together,” Shoham said. But little did he expect the months of brutal torment that lay ahead. “I’m not speaking about regular hunger. It’s a hunger that eats you from within. It’s 24/7 pains that nothing can release or can make disappear. [They] wake you in the night. You fantasize on food every moment.”

“One of the cruelest things that the terrorists did is that they gave us so little, but they all the time [ate] more, with fresh fruits and vegetables, and made us know that they are having great meals in the other room,” he added.

This was consistent with the “humiliation process” to which the terrorists subjected their captives, Shoham shared. “The prime guard would come in the afternoon and just call us one by one, slap us, [laughing at us]. And he was careful not to leave bruises on us, so nobody would see that he did something. But it was daily.” The guards mocked Dalal and David, both captured at the Nova Music Festival, by joking about their friends who were murdered there. “He used to ask him, ‘How was the Nova?’ — doing those machine gun noises and laughing,” said Shoham.

The terrorists also lied to the hostages, telling them that their families had forgotten about them, and that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were coming to kill them. “They put so much psychological pressure on us, with severe starvation, that we actually started to believe that the IDF [was] trying to kill us,” Shoham related. “There was time that the IDF started to approach us, and they, in the apartment, geared up with explosives.”

Tormented in the Tunnels

The captives had no idea their situation could worsen. In June 2024, their captors told them they were being transferred to a medical facility, which was better equipped with running water and electricity. “Then they put a corona mask on our eyes and took us to a tunnel,” said Shoham. “In the beginning, I thought that we would just go through the tunnel and go out the next entrance. But we just walked and walked for more than two hours inside their empire underground — until we heard an Israeli hostage speaking with them. They told him that they brought him company — and then my heart just went down to my pants because I understood that now we are going to stay there forever, practically.” This new hostage was Omer Wenkert.

The four men shared a tunnel three feet wide and 30 feet long, but most of that space was occupied by mattresses on which the men slept — mattresses lying right on the floor of sand. “The lack of oxygen was so severe that for three weeks we couldn’t think straight,” said Shoham. “I think I slept 14 hours every night because the brain couldn’t work.”

Three small lightbulbs allowed the captives to see, but the terrorists refused to turn the lights off at night, giving the captives no way to distinguish between night and day. A hole in the floor served for a toilet, but the men were only allowed to use a nearby shower once every three weeks.

High humidity caused the men’s clothes to stick to their skin, but their captors would not allow them to remove their shirts — for no other reason than their own capricious will. “They watched us on camera to make sure that we obeyed their rules,” Shoham recalled.

The hostages were kept on their starvation diet, consisting of “a small portion of rice or one pita bread once every 24 hours,” he said. But they could hardly look forward to this daily “meal” because their jailors would come to torment them, “shouting [at] us, beating us, spitting on us, making bizarre rules that we should obey,” like ordering them not to sleep or they would be beaten.

“It’s so tough as it is underground in this tomb, why [did] they need to do such effort to try to inflict us in so many different ways?” asked Shoham. “Just to stay balanced or secured mentally and emotionally was the biggest effort that we needed to handle every day.”

To make matters worse, the hostages soon learned that one of their captors was “psychotic” — as in, “hearing voices,” “seeing things that [are] not there” — and consequently more sadistic than his companions. “When the other terrorists didn’t look, he used to do even worse things: He shut off the light in the tunnel — and there is no external light … so we could not see even our hands in front of our heads — and he would keep us like that for 12 hours, 15 hours in this eternal darkness.”

This guard “put fire outside of the iron door of the tunnel, directing the smoke into the tunnel. And we just suffocated. We laid on the ground, and we hoped that it [would] be soon over because we got to the point … that 10 more minutes like that and we would just suffocate to death there,” Shoham asserted. Afterward, “he came, and he laughed about it and say, ‘Ah, it was the IDF [trying] to enter the tunnel,’ which of course wasn’t true.”

The psychotic guard would come in to “laugh with us” one moment, said Shoham, and the next moment he would curse at them, exclaiming “that we [would] rot in this tomb, and nobody [would] save us.” He ordered one hostage to lie down as he beat him. And he ordered another to stand blindfolded, without moving, for two hours.

Finally, after nearly two years of hard fighting, terrorist duplicity, and obstruction by the Biden administration, Israel was able to negotiate the release of enough hostages that Hamas planned to let Shoham and Wenkert go free. But even in this, the terrorists displayed studied cruelty and hardness.

The terrorists teased their prisoners with the thought of release, gleefully capturing even their tortured reactions. “Two weeks before I was released, the officer came and told us that he’s got good news and bad news,” Shoham explained. “And I asked him, ‘What is the news?’ He said, ‘No, no, I will come tomorrow with a camera, and then I will tell you.’ And he came to film us, and he told us that one of us [was] going to be released, [but] the others will need to stay here. Then he tried to film how we [felt] about it.”

After that, the guard would “joke about it and say, ‘You are going out. No, no, you are going out. No, you’re going out,’ like it’s kind of a game, Shoham recalled. “We are trying to survive in this underground tomb, and he is playing with us and trying to inflict us psychologically.”

Just before their release, the guard “filmed us eating with him — a big plate of rice and meat — and having fun together like it [was] normal. But it wasn’t. [It was] only there for their film.” Then he told Shoham and Wenkert that they would be released, while trying to film the downcast reactions of Dalal and David. “After a few hours, we were separated, and three days later we were freed — but not before they took them and told them that they also will be released.”

The terrorists took Dalal and David above ground to watch the release of their fellow hostages — the last evidence their families have that these young men are still alive. “They [were] in a van looking on us when we [were] being released, and they were only 10 or 20 meters from us, 20 meters from salvation,” Shoham recalled. “Then they told them, ‘Oh no, you’re staying here. You’re going underground again. How do you feel?’ And again, [they were] filming them like it’s a kind of game.”

Freedom Again, with a Purpose

“I was blessed that I can come back and reunite with my family,” concluded Shoham. “Already, three and a half months home, and I feel like [it was] a far and distant nightmare, I mean, almost unrealistic. I need to do a reality check to even realize that it has actually happened.”

The psalmist describes a similar salvation, “Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,” then the Lord “brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart” (Psalm 107:10, 14).

But Shoham remembers that the nightmare is not over for Dalal, David, and the other hostages remaining in Hamas’s inhumane captivity. “Now as we’re sitting here, they are still there, underground, suffering the same torture and torment and without any end in sight,” he lamented. “We are really afraid that if they won’t be released soon, they will find their death there. Because who knows what this psychotic guard can do.”

Every American above a certain age remembers where they were on September 11, 2001, when they first heard the news that radical Islamist terrorists had flown hijacked passenger jets into the Twin Towers. I was six years old, folding socks in the living room with my mother and siblings before our day of homeschool began.

Israel’s “9/11 moment” came on October 7, 2023. And, while traumatic for the entire nation, the infamous day had to be especially scarring for those captured by Hamas and taken into captivity. Released captives like Shoham are like the survivors who escaped the burning towers. And, after being freed, Shoham has turned around to aid the rescue effort. Years may have passed, but there are still survivors buried beneath the rubble.

Journalists of the World, Do Your Homework!

Christiane Amanpour is an English-Iranian news anchor and international correspondent. She compared recently ​the U.S. with North Korea. It is not only incompetence, but political illiteracy. Christiane Amanpour​ like many other world journalists, has a short memory about “a famous murderer of the 20 century”— Comrade Stalin. She hasn’t read my latest column: Ideas of Stalinism – The Basis of New Radical Democrat Party. I am a former Soviet defense attorney, who has written about Stalinism for the last 44 years. Here is a reminder for the journalists of the world:

Failed American Intelligence: North Korea, Syria, Putin, and the Obama Connection

November 15, 2024 by Simona Pipko

Many Americans were surprised by the recent Russia/North Korea Defense Pact, June 19, 2024. In fact, it wasn’t a surprise for the students of history. History is a mother of all sciences and Vladimir Putin is a devoted disciple of Comrade Stalin. Soviet history of Stalin’s era can explain the origins of the recent Russia/North Korea Pact and the ideology of Soviet Fascism. The Dem’s party was building Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism in Biden’s America; you just don’t recognize it yet. Please, read my column, written on August 20, 2017.

The tension rises overseas; Syria and North Korea dominate the world media with a wide variety of discussions, stories, and predictions in April 2017. Yet, nobody connects these two countries ideologically. Alas, as usual, the media has forgotten Stalin’s era of building Socialism. As a matter of fact, Stalin’s long-range strategy included building Socialism world-wide and creating a One World Government under the Kremlin rule. Stalin planned to be a President of the World, his actions proved and confirmed his intent. Do you remember the First Communist International and the second one? Both were established in the 20th Century. As General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR, Stalin was its leader.

Don’t be confused by the fraudulent term Communism/Socialism. Carefully crafted Stalin’s political correctness has been working since the Socialist Revolution of 1917 in Russia to manipulate the human mind. Pay attention to the history and the facts of life. The expansion of Soviet Socialism started immediately after the revolution: Mongolia, China, North Korea, and so on. Both North Korea and Syria are Stalin’s states built on Stalin’s Doctrine of One World Government under the Kremlin’s rule, to dominate the world…

Stalin’s North Korea

Let me give you a part of a lecture I presented at New York University in 1990. We were discussing the book Red Cocaine: The Drugging of America, by Joseph D. Douglass, Jr. Clarion House, 1990. The book was stunning to me. The author knew well the machinery of the Soviet government and its modus operandi. He used the murky time in Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall and temporary openness in Russia; he visited the KGB archives, copying precious documents.  The book is a pearl of a documentary and should be read by all decent people in the world. That exact reading I recommended to my students. Here is a part of the lecture presented in 1990.

“Reading the book, you’ll learn about the so-called ‘medical facilities’ in North Korea. For that reason, I want to bring you to another part of the world and take the subject of the KGB even further back in time. Let me give you some examples. In 1945, World War II had ended, but not for Stalin. He had in mind his Second Front—Asia. He viewed it as a strategic region of paramount importance.

​“At that time, defeating Japan had left a political vacuum in North Korea, and Stalin used it. A Korean Army was formed, trained, equipped to the teeth with Soviet arms, and supervised by KGB men sent to implement Stalin’s formula in North Korea. Stalin personally chose its leader—a captain of the Soviet Army, Kim IL Sung. Since then, the connection between the Soviet military, the KGB and the Korean military has never ended—the Soviet General Staff had worked out the plan for aggression in 1950 and the Soviets military fully participated in the Korean War.

“After the communist victory of 1949 in China, under the slogan ‘Stalin and Mao—friendship forever,’ tens of thousands of Soviet advisors flooded China. These were Stalin’s apparatchiks and bureaucrats. All of them taught the Chinese how to build and instill the party machine and infrastructure of the Soviet system, with its institutions. Under the same slogan, hundreds of thousands of young Chinese flooded the Soviet universities. I met some of them in law school. By that time, they spoke Russian fluently. While studying, most of those students had been recruited by the KGB, and upon return to China they deepened implementation of Stalin’s model. Cultural similarities have been conducive to success.” Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney, pp. 529-555, Xlibris, 2002.

​Seventy years later, you saw a massive military parade, Soviet style, a quite provocative celebration of Kim IL Sung’s birthday on April 15, 2017. The grandson Kim Jong-un presented his grandfather as “the Sun or a Son of God,” but the real history tells us that Kim IL Sung was a ‘Son of Stalinism.’ Look at twenty-five million Koreans living under the regime today—it is Stalin’s GULAG, enslaving human beings. And it is not a coincidence that the Korean missile test failed, but don’t take comfort in that. The military machine of North Korea is working non-stop like the Soviet one and the master-puppet Putin is there with full military capacity to undermine global tranquility. Rising tensions in Asia are a result of Russia’s intent to test Trump’s administration. Flying over Alaska is the same as testing Trump’s administration in the Pacific…

Unfortunately, Stalin’s Doctrine of destruction did not die with Stalin: his devoted disciples in Russia have continued its expansion across the world. The Middle East and especially Syria presents a vivid example of how Soviet Socialism has been disseminated with the Influence of Russian Intelligence. It is this force that provided all its satellites with WMD: Saddam got Sarin and Mustard Gas, Assad-Sarin. Watch WMD within ISIS and al-Qaeda… Though China definitely has power over North Korea, the Russian security apparatus still has long arms with the intent to dominate the world. Syria is another example.

Syria

If Arafat was the first molding of a Soviet style leader in the Middle East, Hafez al-Assad was indeed the second one. He participated in the 1963 Syrian coup d’état which brought the Syrian Regional Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party to power, and was appointed Commander of the Syrian Air Force by the new leadership. In 1966, Assad participated in a second coup, and was appointed defense minister by the new government. In 1970 Assad seized power and then appointed himself the undisputed leader of Syria in 1970–71. He was Prime Minister from 1970 to 1971 and President of Syria from 1971 to 2000. This amounted to thirty years of total Soviet influence in Syria under Papa Assad.

That was the usual Soviet strategy of infiltrating the Middle East. Under Bashar Assad, Syria has once again become a Soviet Arab Socialist Republic with all the consequences of Stalin’s Doctrine and his Formula for Power. By the way, Saddam Hussein came to power in Iraq the same way in 1979 as did the Ayatollahs in Iran in 1979. Don’t be surprised at the connection between ISIS and al-Qaeda—all terrorists groups regardless of their names have the same parents—Soviet Fascism. Please read my analyses of the years 1970-1980, pp. 145-161, Chapter 8, What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction, Xlibris, 2012

As a matter of fact, Syria, which is comprised of several major incompatible tribes, is a strategic center of the Mideast. It was a typical Soviet Socialist State, equipped with a huge arsenal of Soviet arms and weaponry since 1971. The city of Tartus hosts a Soviet-era naval supply and maintenance facility, under a 1971 agreement with Baathist Syria, Tartus is practically a Russian military base in Syria. The close relation between the Russian intelligence and military with Syria has been going on since. “The facility hosts the Amur (Russian) class of floating workshop PM-138, capable of providing technical maintenance to Russian warships deployed in the Mediterranean in the 21st century.”

Hence Russia has free access to the Mediterranean, which means the Middle East, North Africa and Southern Europe. You can see on a map of the area that there is also a corridor from Iran and Iraq to Lebanon, a route for shipping arms to Hamas and Hezbollah. Remember Stalin’s Doctrine worked at the time and it worked well in the Middle East as well. Moreover, Putin needed Crimea for this particular reason: to have a free avenue for the Russian fleet to the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Stalin’s design to use Islam is alive and well, you are witnessing it every day by the criminal activities of terrorism. Today Russians have several military installations in Syria. Read Socialist Lies: From Stalin to Clintons, Obamas, and SandersXlibris, 2016.

However strange it sounds; I had some experience in connection with Syria. Once, a client came to my law office, a man who had a question about his apartment in Tallinn. In talking to me he said that he was leaving in a week, as he was working in Syria. I asked him what he was doing there, he answered very calmly that he was an instructor in the Soviet Terrorist training camp in Syria. It was in the end of the 1960s or beginning of the 1970s. I wasn’t surprised; the people living in Socialist countries had known Russia’s agenda in the Middle East where constant attacks were taking place daily. Today, in 2017, you can see the long-range strategy of Soviet Socialism and the Stalin’s addiction to expansion—one of the reasons, I called the regime Soviet Fascism.

The ideology of Soviet Fascism

Stalin’s ideology has created special kinds of people, affecting them with subversive political correctness. They ignore the reality of the world and the war waged by Soviet Fascism against Western civilization during the last hundred years. But reality is very stubborn—Stalinism connects Putin, Assad, Kim Jong-un, and many others like an umbilical cord to the ideology. Those leaders know that they are criminals and that the power they amass is the only thing that will save them from prison. The unfortunate result of their existence across the world is obvious—the rise of Anti-Semitism, the genocide of Christians, unspeakable violence, orchestrated protests—the attributes of Soviet Fascism. All of those we, the former Soviet citizens, had experienced in the Soviet Union. We called it Stalinism.

Researching the ideology for the last twenty-five years, I am convinced that the globe is dealing today with Soviet Fascism, which is one of the reasons for the push to Globalization, a KGB invention. Nor has America escaped it. For the sake of our country, the term Soviet Fascism should be accepted, analyzed, and discussed. Therefore, my conclusion is two-fold: 1. Knowledge of Stalin’s Russia is a must. 2. The Investigation the Obama administration and the current activities of his shadow government is imperative. Both investigations, if successful, will have vital global ramifications…

I have to remind you my opinion about a list of military collaborations between the U.S. and Russia executed under the Obama/Putin joint venture:

  1. Killing of bin-Laden
  2. Invasion of Libya, conspiracy of Obama, Putin, and French Pres. Sarkozy.
  3. Benghazi, murder of the U.S. ambassador Stevens.
  4. “On 6 August 2011, a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook military helicopter was shot down while transporting a quick reaction force attempting to reinforce an engaged unit of Army Rangers in Wardak province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan. The resulting crash killed all 38 people on board—25 American specialists … Fifteen of the Navy SEALsthat were killed were members of the Naval… “

If investigated, the listed events will open up a huge panorama of activities of the DNC leadership directed against the American Republic. My two assignments are inextricably intertwined. President Trump was right, speaking about “inherited mess.” The mess was so tremendous, he initially asserted, the “swamp” indeed was deeper and more harmful and dangerous. I dedicated many pages to this “swamp,” I called it the Obama/Putin joint venture. A chronicling of this joint venture has been presented in detail in Socialist Lies. It is a protocol and diary of the Obama’s regime from its beginning in 2008. American Intelligence failed to expose Obama and the Democrat Party for aiding Putin in many different occurrences overseas to the detriment of American interests, including the Opioid epidemic in America. My book reveals just that…

In this connection, I have to correct our media and politicians: Putin will not stop at restoring the Soviet Union—Putin wants to be a President of the World, like Stalin’s intent—hence awareness of Stalinism is imperative. Alas, America did not escape the implementation of some elements, and attributes of Soviet Fascism by Obama’s regime.  Therefore, a person like Steve Bannon, who is talking about destruction of the administrative State, and who quotes Lenin by heart is extremely valuable to the Trump team. In our days—knowledge of the enemy is the best recipe for success…

Relative vs Absolute Risk Reduction 2

Don’t be fooled. 

I wrote about this EXTREMELY important matter here. Please review that post, as it explains in a simple fashion the enormous difference between these two very significant numbers.

I recently came across a two-minute video that tackles the same issue…

This is a VERY big deal for citizens to understand, as a variety of self-serving parties try to take advantage of the fact that many citizens are technically challenged — and fool them by using relative (not absolute) risk reduction.

Hopefully, this will be one of the many things that RFKjr will see is fixed at the FDA and CDC…
