‘What Starts in Israel Doesn’t End with Israel’

/in , , , , , , , , /by

“We’re trying to pull ourselves together,” a survivor said, looking around at the rubble, the charred and bullet-sprayed houses. What was once a buzzing kibbutz is now makeshift military base, where Israeli soldiers struggle to wade through the horrors left behind by Saturday’s attack. The echoes of the massacre are all around them, in black body bags of all sizes, bloodstained walls, and the stunned look of the left behind. “We’re all like zombies here,” one young woman said.

This was not war, hardened soldiers on the ground would tell reporters later. This was an act of savages, of butchers. Worse than ISIS, many insisted. “I never imagined something like this could happen,” IDF Major General Itai Veruv told CNN of the torture and execution of innocent children, women, and whole families. “Hand-bound, shot, executed, heads cut,” babies decapitated, dazed witnesses confirmed. A slaughter.

Now, as tanks roll in and forces gather for a ground invasion of Gaza — cutting off water, power, and fuel to the two million people living on the narrow slice of land — rockets and drones have started pounding Israelis from Hezbollah in Lebanon. “The sirens are sounding in every town and city in the north,” news outlets warn, “including the Golan Heights.” As troops mass toward the south, the multi-front war that experts feared seems to have arrived.

Families whose children survived the worst of Hamas are now facing another agonizing reality — parting with their sons and daughters, as reservists are called up to the frontlines by the tens of thousands. Together, they have one common sentiment: resolve.

Dr. Ari Sacher, one of the primary architects of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, sent his own sons off to war over the weekend, amazed that the army had 150% of the people they called up show up. “And what’s [unbelievable],” he pointed out, is that “we were a country for the last better part of a year [that] was fraying. Many people felt that we were on the verge of a civil war. The government was trying to pass laws that would change judicial reform laws. And there was an outcry. People were saying, ‘We’re not going to do reserve duty anymore.’”

After Saturday’s atrocities, “all of that was thrown aside,” Sacher said. At a time of crisis like this, he pointed out, “one of two things could have happened: the country could have just imploded, or we could have been galvanized. And what happened was we became galvanized.”

He talked about dropping one son off at the unit’s meeting point, stunned by the crowd. “There were so many cars. There were thousands of cars. There was nowhere to park my car. He had to walk 15 minutes to get where he needed to get. And he was walking with throngs of people — every type of Israeli, the Orthodox, the non-Orthodox, people with sidelocks, people that are bald with tattoos. We were all going for that purpose.”

Since then, Sacher said, “There’s just been an onslaught of Israelis inundating [the troops with supplies]. My sons are sending messages [saying], ‘Stop bringing us food, stop bringing us supplies. There’s nowhere to put it anymore.’ This country has been galvanized.”

And no wonder. Talking to Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch” Tuesday, Sacher was somber about the task facing his people. “We have since cleared out all of the areas; we are now counting our dead. We’re burying our dead. In another half hour, one of the dead from my town up north will be taken out to be buried. We are all leaving our houses and standing on the street with Israeli flags as they take him to his to his final burial place” — a scene that will be playing out in dozens of grieving villages for weeks to come.

“And we are not looking for retribution,” Sacher insisted, “because you can’t ask for retribution for what happened. We’re looking to rid the world of Hamas.”

Others, like Carolyn Glick — Middle East expert, journalist, political advisor, and former officer in the Israeli Defense Forces — have been grateful to see the United States step up and have Israel’s back in that effort. “[President Biden] gave an important statement [Tuesday] reinstating his full support for Israel and his readiness to aid Israel in any way necessary. … So that was good.”

But what concerns her and several other Israelis are the powerful pro-Palestinian voices inside the White House.

“Just the day before the Hamas attack, Secretary of State Tony Blinken approved another $75 million in aid to the Palestinians. And advancing the cause of the Palestinians against Israel has been a central, central focus of the Biden administration,” she explained on “Washington Watch.” “People like Hady Amr, who’s the presidential envoy to the Palestinians, has a long history of supporting Palestinian terrorism against Israel, and he has [a] very senior position in the Biden administration, as does the director of intelligence and the National Security Council, Maher Bitar, and other very key people who are responsible for implementing President Biden’s Middle East policies and the National Security Council in the White House and in the State Department, among other places.”

So, yes, Glick cautioned. The support that America is showing for Israel “does empower Israel, but it’s important to realize that Biden has also made it, “until now, a key goal of their policy to what they call integrate Iran into the Middle East through nuclear appeasement. And to that end, as you mentioned, they just approved the unfreezing of $6 billion in oil revenues from the South Koreans to be transferred to Iran.”

In all honesty, she said, “Our future in this region and our existence is at stake here. … And that means recognizing that Hamas is a proxy of Iran, as is Hezbollah in Lebanon, and that Iran is directing this entire thing. They ordered the strikes. They’re paying for them. They’re providing all of the ammunition and everything that Hamas needs. Ninety-three of Hamas’s budget is paid for by Iran,” Glick told Perkins.

“We had a Holocaust-level atrocity perpetrated against the Jewish people on Saturday,” she insisted. “… And this is not just Hamas,” Glick was careful to point out. “Hezbollah has 250,000 missiles pointing at Israel. And it cannot end this war with those missiles pointing at Israel or being shot at Israel. We have to end their threat against Israel — and it goes to Iran itself.” Their regime, Glick continued, cannot be appeased by Biden. It has “to be pushed back to such a degree that they won’t ever try to do it again.”

In the end, Glick emphasized, this is not just about the Israelis. “It’s very important for … our friends abroad to [understand] that what starts in Israel doesn’t end with Israel. What starts with the Jews doesn’t end with the Jews. The United States knows what jihad is, even if it’s pretended it away. And if we don’t defeat the forces of jihad, led by Iran, here, they will be at your doorstep as well tomorrow.”

Russia and Failed American Intelligence: The North Korea, Syria and Putin-Obama Connection

/in , , , , , , /by

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 the Stalinist 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 Stalinist political correctness has been working since the Socialist Revolution of 1917 in Russia to manipulate human mind. Pay attention to the history and the facts of life. The expansion of Soviet Socialism has started immediately after the revolution: Mongolia, China, North Korea, and so on. Both North Korea and Syria are Stalinist states built on Stalin’s Doctrine of One World Government under Kremlin’s rule, to dominate the world…

Stalinist 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 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, defeated Japan had left a political vacuum in North Korea, and Stalin used it. A Korean Army was formed, trained, equipped to the teeth with the Soviet arms, and supervised by KGB men sent to implement the Stalinist 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 an 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 the Stalinist 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 the Kim IL Sung birth day 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 a Stalinist 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 testing Trump’s administration on the Pacific…

Unfortunately, the Stalinist 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 present 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 the 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 a free access to 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 Russian fleet to 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 Sanders, Xlibris, 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 told 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 Stalinist’s addiction to expansion—one of the reasons, I called the regime Soviet Fascism.

The ideology of Soviet Fascism

The Stalinist 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 suborn—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 Stalinist Russia is a must. 2. 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 crashkilled all 38 people on board—25 American specialists … Fifteen of the Navy SEALs that 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…

Inflation Stays Hot As High Prices Continue To Plague Americans

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Inflation remained high in September, staying well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) release on Thursday.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a broad measure of the prices of everyday goods, increased 3.7% on an annual basis in September, compared to 3.7% in August, exceeding the expectation of 3.6%, according to the BLS. Core CPI, which excludes the volatile categories of energy and food, remained high, rising to 4.1% year-over-year in September, compared to 4.3% in August.

“The combination of high headline inflation and low core inflation is doubly bad for average Americans since the economy seems to be slowing but they are still paying higher prices for gas, one of their most important purchases,” Dr. Thomas Hogan, senior research faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research and former chief economist for the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, told the DCNF. “Based on the Fed’s most recent economic projections, they expect to raise interest rates one more time this year. Financial markets are currently projecting them to keep rates steady in November and raise in December, but if inflation comes in higher than expected, it would make a November rate hike more likely.”

Shelter made up more than half of the increase in inflation for September, rising 7.2% year-over-year, while the rise in the price of gasoline was also a significant contributor, rising 2.1% for just the month and 3.0% for the year, according to the BLS. The index for food rose 3.7% for the year, with food away from home rising 6.0%.

Despite inflation persistently remaining above 3% over the last few months, the Fed chose not to raise its federal funds rate at the last Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in September, keeping the rate at a range of 5.25% and 5.50%, and will announce whether or not rates will be hiked again at the conclusion of its next meeting on November 1. The rate has been hiked 11 times since March 2022 in an effort to bring down inflation that peaked at 9.1% in June 2022.

The U.S. economy unexpectedly added 336,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in September, far higher than the 170,000 that were expected, while unemployment remained at 3.8%. Despite the large addition, the gain was dominated by an increase of 151,000 Americans becoming employed in part-time jobs, while the number of people employed in full-time jobs dropped by 22,000.

“Some Americans are asking when prices will start coming down,” Hogan told the DCNF. “The short answer is: never. If inflation had been caused by supply bottlenecks, as Fed officials initially claimed, then we would see prices fall as the supply constraints went away. In reality, inflation was driven by the Fed’s bad monetary policy, which means prices will remain high and will only go higher.”

THE WAR ON X: WW III The Global War Against Islamic Terrorism — Day 6

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

We are now in the 6th day of war between the world and Islam.

in his column titled This is Not About Israel, It’s About Islam wrote,

We can stand together or fight and die alone. This war was declared over 1,000 years ago. Flying planes into skyscrapers, running over French pedestrians with a truck, massacring Indian families, and Israeli concertgoers is the same war. Islamic terrorists and their allies try to make every attack about the specific context of a situation in a particular corner of the world. That’s a lie that too many fall for. Even countries that are the victims of Islamic terrorism often draw lines between the “good” and “bad” Islamic terrorism. We do it ourselves. But there is no such line. Whether a country is good or bad makes no difference. Islamic terrorists come for every country eventually. There is no major nation that has not faced Islamic terrorist attacks as long as it has a significant Muslim population within or near its borders. America, India, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, Australia, Argentina, and Brazil (a planned Olympic massacre) are just a few of the examples. The smaller countries that have come under attack are nearly endless. If you exist, you’re a target. Read Daniel’s entire article.

The civilized world is dealing with individuals, organizations and nation states who are savages.

As noted in his column titled Savages,

Civilizations that spend enough time allowing savages to hang around will fall. Tolerating savages is actually a sign that a civilization has turned decadent. Welcoming and advocating for savages means that the end is nigh. Viable civilizations drive savages away. They do it not just to protect themselves but because banishing savages is what makes a civilization civilized. When civilizations forget what the difference between themselves and the savages are, they lose their sense of right and wrong, and they can no longer explain why savagery is wrong. When faced with the worst imaginable crimes, they can still equivocate a case for the criminals. Read Daniel’s article Savages.

We can stand together or fight and die alone.

This war was declared over 1,000 years ago.

Flying planes into skyscrapers, running over French pedestrians with a truck, massacring Indian families, and Israeli concertgoers is the same war.

Islamic terrorists and their allies try to make every attack about the specific context of a situation in a particular corner of the world.

That’s a lie that too many fall for.

Even countries that are the victims of Islamic terrorism often draw lines between the “good” and “bad” Islamic terrorism. We do it ourselves. But there is no such line. Whether a country is good or bad makes no difference. Islamic terrorists come for every country eventually. There is no major nation that has not faced Islamic terrorist attacks as long as it has a significant Muslim population within or near its borders.

America, India, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, Australia, Argentina, and Brazil (a planned Olympic massacre) are just a few of the examples. The smaller countries that have come under attack are nearly endless. If you exist, you’re a target.

Hamas is just an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood which is a global operation. Its Al Qaeda splinter group has carried out attacks all over the world.

What happened in Israel is not about Israel: it’s about Islam.

It’s all too easy to nod along with the propaganda, the claims about “Palestinian oppression”, and ignore the historical context of over 1,000 years of Islamic violence against non-Muslims that follow the same exact model, or the global reach of Islamic terrorism today.  The pattern is easy to spot and so people have to be indoctrinated into ignoring it.

So many have been told that they’re ‘Islamophobes’ if they notice Islamic terrorism, let alone condemn it. The politically correct alternative is to condemn the targets of Islamic terrorism instead. It’s easy and it’s safe to condemn Israel. And then to pretend that every country being attacked somehow had it coming. The only group that doesn’t have it coming are the Islamic terrorists.

The world has to break out of this Stockholm Syndrome before it’s too late.

9/11 wasn’t just about America. The Westgate Mall attack wasn’t just about Kenya. The Mumbai attack wasn’t just about India. The Bastille Day attack wasn’t just about France. The attacks in Israel now aren’t just about the Jewish State.

The world has a choice. We can stand together or fight and die alone.

Savages

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Civilization and savagery are fundamentally at war.

We’re in a war between savages and civilization. Everything else is a detail.

Some of us woke up to that war when planes crashed into skyscrapers. Others when we saw beheading videos spread across social media. What we saw in Israel, Hamas terrorists raping, mutilating and defiling corpses, is another bloody wake-up call. There will be many others.

Beyond the politics and the geopolitics, we still haven’t come to terms with what we’re fighting.

The barbarism of murdering women and children, taking them as hostages, and posting photos of their dead bodies to social media, is not a byproduct of Islamic warfare, it’s the whole point.

Cruelty, beheading, burning to death, torturing and mutilating are the essence of Islam. This is how Islamic warfare was practiced beginning with Mohammed for over a thousand years. It’s how it continues to be practiced, whether it’s ISIS fighting other Muslims, Azebajani troops killing Armenians, Hamas attacking Israelis, or Islamic terrorists plotting carnage in Western nations.

Islam was born out of a war by barbarians against the civilized societies of Persia and Byzantium. Despite academic mythmaking, its vision never extended beyond rape and slavery, its empires fell into power struggles, beginning with Sunnis and Shiites, and its cultural and scientific accomplishments were all looted from conquered peoples. When civilization finally toppled the Ottoman Empire with some help from its internal barbarians, the cycle began again.

Israel is just one front in a global war between savages and civilization. And not all of the savages bow to Allah. There are inner city gangs across the American hemisphere that behead and torture their victims. And there are children of civilization that turn into savages. Savagery is not a condition of birth: it is a choice. People born into savagery can become civilized and those born into the highest echelons of civilization can prey on us like the worst vicious animals.

The question is how do civilized societies confront savagery? Do we blame ourselves for having made the savages what they are through our capitalism and colonialism even though they have behaved this way long before modern western civilization amounted to anything? Or do we set forth to reeducate them, to build modern nations for them and teach them to become civilized?

We have sent forth our sons and daughters to make peace with them and to educate them. Our societies opened themselves to embrace and celebrate the virtues of the noble savage. When we realized that we could not coexist with savages, we tried to remake our societies to serve them. All of that has been tried and civilization is still drowning in the violence of the savages.

The fundamental truth is that civilization and savagery are innately at war with one another.

Savages are offended by the existence of civilization. When they see one, they want to destroy it. There can be no peace with savages because, contrary to Islam, peace is a condition of civilization. To have peace, you must be civilized. Savages don’t even view peace as a value apart from the conclusion of a successful conquest which then sets the stage for the next one.

Civilized people develop complex mechanisms of exchange, but savages see no reason why they shouldn’t take something or someone if they are too weak to defend themselves. No amount of lectures will ever convince a savage that anything other than clan relations should prevent him from stealing a car or raping a woman if there will be no clear consequences.

That’s because savages, unlike civilized people, have no conscience, and therefore no soul.

Islam, unlike Judaism and Christianity, is not a religion of the soul, but entirely of power. From its genocidal chant, “Allahu Akbar” that proclaims the physical supremacy of Allah to all other religions through the military victories of its followers, everything is reduced to conquest. The truth of Islam is validated through war. When Jihadists conquer and rape non-Muslims, they are proving that Islam is true and that the religions of the conquered are false. That’s why ISIS Jihadists would tell the Yazidi girls they were raping that rape brought them “closer to Allah”

Civilizations have become too sophisticated and decadent to understand such concepts. When faced with barbarism, they go down a dialectic rabbit hole that explains the savages in terms of how civilized people interacted with them. Did they hurt their feelings, overthrow their governments or draw mean cartoons? Did capitalism leave them adrift in the world economy? How did we fail to integrate the newest generation of immigrants with all the welfare checks?

These sophomoric sessions are pointless. A hyena doesn’t eat your chickens because you failed to integrate it. That’s just what hyenas do. Man at the base state is a predator and savages strive to be the alpha predators. Civilizations become superior predators because they provide room for arts and sciences, because they think about something other than how they are superior to their neighbors and will prove it by killing their sons and raping their daughters.

But when civilizations spend too much time thinking, they forget that one reason they came into being was to build something better than a state of savagery. Decadent civilizations internalize all the criticism and their peoples endlessly quarrel and think that the worst possible things in the world are the ones that exist among their own people. Savages remind us otherwise.

Much like a hurricane reminds us of the alternative to houses and famine reminds us of the alternative to food, savages remind us of the alternative to civilization. Unfortunately truly decadent civilizations need constant reminders of all of these things. We have to be constantly told that food doesn’t magically emerge from a supermarket, that houses are not the natural state of being and that not being murdered by savages in your home is a new way of life.

Tolerate savages, give them enough rope and they will do all of these things to you. And more.

Savagery should not be confused with stupidity. Civilizations have been brought down by savages and civilizations were built by savages who became civilized. Savages are clever and cunning. They are alert to the weaknesses of civilized people and experts at finding ways around whatever walls and security systems that civilized people build to protect themselves.

Civilizations that spend enough time allowing savages to hang around will fall. Tolerating savages is actually a sign that a civilization has turned decadent. Welcoming and advocating for savages means that the end is nigh. Viable civilizations drive savages away. They do it not just to protect themselves but because banishing savages is what makes a civilization civilized.

When civilizations forget what the difference between themselves and the savages are, they lose their sense of right and wrong, and they can no longer explain why savagery is wrong. When faced with the worst imaginable crimes, they can still equivocate a case for the criminals.

Hamas terrorists can rape and kill their victims, and defenders will rally to explain why the issue is actually more complicated than it seems. This happens with Islamic terrorists all the time.

Savages and decadent civilizations have no firm concept of right and wrong. Everything is subjectively opportunistic and there can be scenarios in which raping a woman, killing her and then posting a photo of her body to social media so her family can see is actually right.

That is why civilization has to defeat savagery, without equivocation, apologies or sympathy, not only to win, but to revive its own soul. Negotiations and laws of war are for peer civilization. Savages offer nothing and so are owed nothing. They keep no agreements except when it suits them. Their word is worthless and their morality is non-existent.

A civilization that does not understand all this will learn it the hard way.

Civilizations are built on the suppression of savagery: both internally and externally.. When civilizations defeat savages, learning, art, science and ideas thrive. And when civilizations allow savages to ravage them, they lose their people, their morality and eventually their existence.

No form of war is more sacred than that of civilization against savagery. It is these wars that made Christianity and Judaism, not to mention all the ideas of western civilization, as well as those of Asia and India, possible. This is once again the defining struggle of our age.

Either civilization or the savages will prevail. Any attempt at a middle ground is suicide.

Our grandchildren will either make great things or they will be hunted by roaming savages like the teenage girls at a concert in Israel or those similarly hunted in venues in Europe.

All the hopes of mankind depend on the utter and total defeat of the savages, not just in Israel, but in America, in Europe, in India and Asia, and around the world. This is not the struggle of any single nation, but the crisis of mankind. Either humanity will rise or we will fall.

The Road to Marxism is Paved with Death

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Over the years as we become familiar with the true goals of the Globalists/World Economic Forum(WEF)/United Nations (UN)/United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and multiple NGO’s in partnership with Microsoft to destroy western culture.  As we learn about their sinister plans they change their name. Depopulation by any means is the method.

The master plan is always Agenda21, the plan to own and control every aspect of human activity.  This plan was created in the 1930’s by the introduction of communism to America. The Rockefeller, Unfinished Agenda, was the outline.  By the late 1980’s, with technology in place, the implementation for world domination was ready. The schools were tackled first as individualism was replaced with collectivism, facts were replaced with emotion and education was replaced with training. George Bush 41 and Nancy Pelosi signed onto Agenda 21 and introduced “A New World Order” to the nation through congress. Bush signed EO 12803 enabling foreign entities to “buy” a piece of America.  He had no right to sell what he didn’t own. Open borders promoting illegal immigration without assimilation ensured the demise of America.

The main goal of the Globalists Agenda21 is always depopulation using any means possible. They realize it is to hard to control 8 Billion people.  Jobs will be handled by robots and fewer humans will be needed. What better way to eliminate people by blaming the very thing necessary to sustain their lives CO2. Wars, famine, disease, nature, lies of man all help to reach the goal.   The climate hoax blaming fossil fuel, CO2, and now nitrogen, all necessary to improve human existence, became the focus for elimination.   No CO2 = No plants or oxygen. No plants or oxygen no food. No Food no people. No people no problems. Their plan was to start the propaganda early in school.  By lowering standards for Affirmative Action, using race to turn people on each other in the name of equity, and they have created the perfect formula for low information voters who will do as they are told. These Affirmative Action graduates will gladly give up their rights for make believe security.

Through the years a variety of sub plans were created to “fool the populace” for the good of the planet, for common good. Smart Cities, Resilient Cities, Sustainable Cities, Agenda 2030, Green New Deal, Build Back Better, 2 weeks to flatten the curve, masks, SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) Gun legislation follow the same Marxist ideology. You will comply or die. These programs have been developed for control of the populace. Today we are being dictated to by Affirmative Action graduates who believe our rights come from the government and the United Nations should control the world through unelected bureaucrats running NGOs with taxpayer money.  No need for borders or law and order.   So what if the people die from war, drugs or abortion or crime, less mouths to feed. As long as there are slaves to work, Globalists could care less.

The last nail is the affluent middle class.  Can’t let them own anything because other countries might want the same. “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable.” – Maurice Strong, Rio Earth Summit. 1992 Bush 41 signed Agenda 21 before it was written.

According to Agenda 21 all policies must be tied to the environment making humans responsible for climate change.   They intertwine the 3E’s implementing Agenda 21. Everything is connected. Nothing is random. Everything has a plan and all plans are lies. Their 3 E’s:

Environment – Climate touches everyone so make that the issue. Blame Fossil fuel destroying the planet making the climate change – a lie.    No energy no power. Blame CO2 and Nitrogen both necessary to sustain plant and human life. By calling them greenhouse gas (a minuscule amount) both provide the perfect culprit to force a food shortage.  CO2 is needed for plants for photosynthesis to occur.    Photosynthesis provides food for plants and oxygen for people/animal life. Nitrogen provides fertilizer for soil to feed plants (food) and animals (Meat) which become food protein (strength)  for humans.   Weak hungry people will not fight their government they will beg for food.  They stopped teaching science in school today. Instead they teach environmental science. Great documentary: No Farmers, No Food, You Will Eat Bugs

Equity – According to the Globalists everyone on the planet is entitled to the same things.  Therefore the government must own everything to make it fair.  Blame the victim for enticing the criminal.  Control healthcare and push termination on “individuals who are inferior.” “Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.”  – Professor Maurice King

Eliminate police for being abusive and racist. Take guns from citizens so criminals can be free. The latest in Florida is the push to combine judicial districts which will increase crime in rural areas. The load on attorney’s and judges will increase and lesser crime will be ignored.

Economy – Dictators from countries who sign the Agenda are forced to take massive loans to make their countries “sustainable”. Since sustainability is based on lies, solutions will never work but will require more and more loans. Since the loans can never be repaid, the dictators partner with the loan company or country giving away their country’s sovereignty and resources.  The country is forced into massive debt causing massive inflation and destruction to the country economy.  It is imperative that Globalists control every aspect of humanity so technology is used for surveillance. 15 Minute Cities will ensure that humans will be kept in a 15 Minute walking distance perimeter of their residence.

Through the use of Grants, Conservation Easements, Eminent Domain, destruction of farming, water restrictions, land will become impossible to maintain and will be sold to Globalists who will keep it fallow. No Meat or Dairy for you. Bugs will provide your protein.   “My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species, returning throughout the world.” –Dave Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!

Money must also be controlled by the Globalists. Dirty, disease ridden paper money must be replace with a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) based on a carbon allowance. Since all living things contain carbon, credits will be assigned to everything you want to purchase and depending on your compliance with the government, your actions towards the environment you will be granted your allowance called social credits.  If you or your family or acquaintance misbehaves, no travel, food, clothing for you.

I have a 4th E  Education So how did the Globalists get so many people to believe their Marxists ideas? Why education of course. By dumbing down the world they got a huge boost. Then grant money got the scientists and media to spew propaganda which reinforced what kids learned in school. Their ideas and solutions are not discovered through the scientific method they are outcome based. Today 70% of school children are afraid that their actions will ruin the planet. They have no problem doing more for less and believe that owning nothing will make them happy. 47% can’t read, write and do simple math. They rely totally on a device to tell them what to do. The average IQ in America is below 100. They are incapable of reasoning out a problem and have no understanding of logic and critical thinking. Common Core made sure that they are 2 years behind. After all Lenin said dumb people require less from their government. ” Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” We are being governed, controlled and managed by Affirmative Action graduates with low standards not the best and brightest.

The Globalists are not playing. However, they are getting worldwide push back as the people are realizing that losing their freedom and starving for them is the endgame.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/no-privacy-no-property-world-2030-according-wef-0

Globalists are perverted, evil and many of their policies are written under the influence of something. They must Destroy the Middle Class by any means possible.  Wealth is not fair. They despise America and Americans and are laser focused on Money, Power and Control. They want us dead. They will lie, cheat and steal. Once in power they will weaponize  everything against their enemy and will tear down any and all standing in their way. They have no depth and if challenged they have no answers. Is America worth saving. Only you can make that decision. Will you fight back with the truth?

Get your kids out of the indoctrination clinics masquerading as public schools.  Go to the Florida Citizen’s Alliance and Create a MICROSCHOOL.

House Republicans Nominate Steve Scalise For Speaker In Secret Ballot Vote

/in , , , , , /by

House Republicans nominated House Majority Leader Steve Scalise to be the next speaker of the House by a margin of 113 of the 212 votes cast in a secret ballot vote Wednesday.

Behind closed doors, House Republicans debated who should lead their caucus, as the party was not unified behind a candidate before the meeting. Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who received the other 99 votes, is also seeking the gavel, while recently ousted speaker Kevin McCarthy had support from several members but told colleagues not to re-nominate him, according to multiple reports.

Scalise will need 217 votes on the floor to be elected as speaker of the House.

Reps. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, Erin Houchin of Indiana and Mike Carey of Ohio delivered nominating speeches at the meeting on behalf of Jordan.

Scalise received nominating speeches from Reps. Frank Lucas of Oklahoma, Ashley Hinson of Iowa and John James of Michigan.

Both Scalise and Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, said they were running for House speaker just one day after Kevin McCarthy was ousted on Oct. 3. After losing the speakership, McCarthy said he is leaving the position “with a sense of pride [and] accomplishment.” He later dismissed rumors that he planned to resign from Congress and announced his intention to seek another term.

The U.S. House voted to remove McCarthy as speaker after Democrats joined with eight House Republicans to vote for a motion to vacate the chair.

Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz filed the motion, which gained support from Democrats after McCarthy refused to make concessions in return for their votes.

VIDEO REPORT: Exposé on How Charities Secretly Help Win Elections

/in , , , , , , , /by

Everybody Votes Campaign Masquerading as a Charity to Register Democrat Voters.

You wouldn’t believe what’s going on behind the scenes at America’s charities. Even though the IRS forbids charities from getting involved in elections, crafty political operatives have been violating those rules and misusing charities to help Democrats win for years.

After digging into this story, Capital Research Center brings you the story of one such group: the Voter Registration Project (VRP), a charity tied to a larger effort called the Everybody Votes campaign.

Watch the video to learn more.

This investigation reveals the shocking true story of the Everybody Votes campaign—the largest and most corrupt “charitable” voter registration effort in American history—that may have decided the 2020 presidential election and could decide 2024. Commissioned by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, funded by the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, and coordinated with cutthroat Democratic consultants, the Everybody Votes campaign used the guise of civic-minded charity to selectively register millions of “non-white” swing-state voters in the hopes of getting out the Democratic vote for a 2020 presidential win. It worked.

The Voter Registration Project

Our exclusive research reveals how a little-known organization called the Voter Registration Project (VRP) leveraged connections with billionaire private foundations, Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother, and foreign billionaires with a history of breaking U.S. election law to raise $190 million for the Everybody Votes campaign and register 5.1 million people.

Using data from leaked copies of the campaign’s secret plans, as well as 2020 exit polls, our researchers have discovered that the VRP’s 5.1 million new registrations provided Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with somewhere between 1 million to 2.7 million votes across eight specially chosen swing states during the 2020 election. If the state-by-state projections of the campaign’s Democratic consultants held true into 2020, the Everybody Votes campaign’s “massive registration surge” would have provided Democrats more votes than the total margins of victory in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Biden ultimately won each of these states in 2020, netting him 53 electoral college votes.

Misusing Tax-Exempt Money

Our investigation proves, once and for all, that Democrats used truckloads of money from private foundations and public charities to give their donors enormous tax breaks and pad their electoral margins in 2020, even though charities and foundations are strictly forbidden by law to operate with the effect, much less the intent, of benefiting a political party.

The investigation also proves that the campaign’s supposed concerns for the “civic participation” of “underrepresented communities” were nothing more than a convenient lie. Unearthed drafts of the Everybody Votes campaign’s original partisan schematics prove that the campaign was designed to win elections first and worry about “civic participation” later. Changing the electorate’s racial composition was only ever a secondary concern.

If the Everybody Votes campaign was a political action committee (PAC) or a 501(c)(4) “dark money” group and if the organizers had just admitted they cared more about electoral results than inequality, then there would be no scandal. But it wasn’t, and they didn’t, and the result is an enormous scandal entangling some of the Left’s biggest political donors and many of its most powerful nonprofit activist groups.

What’s Next

It’s not just a scandal of the past either. The operation was so successful in 2020 that the Everybody Votes campaign has announced it will continue on through 2024, registering millions more. New job listings suggest that this cycle’s operations will target Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin—each a must-win presidential swing state. Only time will tell if the campaign is a repeat success.

The Hamas Massacre is a Wake-Up Call for America to Fortify Itself Against Evil

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

“Such is the nature of Evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world it festers and spreads. A Shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was, so it always will be.”

These words from the movie adaptation of The Hobbit were quoted by my colleague Dr. David Wurmser, who is presently in Israel reporting as he can between rocket attacks and shelter-in-place orders.

Only Tolkien’s stories of the changeless sweeping malevolence of evil across the ages seem appropriate to encapsulate the tremendous paradigm shift represented by the horrific massacre perpetrated by Hamas over the weekend.

The losses suffered, perhaps as many as 1,000 dead and many thousands more wounded, are of such a horrific scale in light of Israel’s small population that regardless of how the fight proceeds now, Israeli society is likely to be changed forever. The attack, in which as many as 1,000 Hamas jihadists crossed the Gaza border under the cover of a massive rocket barrage and drone attacks, seized control of towns in Southern Israel and went from door to door to rape, torture, and murder every Jew they could find, all on video, instantly evoked horrors known to most of us only from black and white newsreels in previous centuries.

As the perpetrators have openly admitted, the massacre was planned and prepared with the help of Iran, whose other terrorist proxies, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Shiite militias in Syria and Iraq, and Houthi terrorists in Yemen, remain at the ready to expand the fight on Tehran’s orders.

A New Age, A Timeless Evil

The likely purpose of the attack from Iran’s perspective was to undermine peace efforts between Israel and Arab states, most especially Saudi Arabia.

Not coincidentally, this has also been a major effort of the Biden Administration, which has sought to undermine the historic Abraham Accords achieved under President Trump by injecting the Palestinian issue into the center of the Arab-Israel conflict, even while pretending to seek an agreement.

The Biden Administration has released $6 billion dollars to Iran, currently stored at a bank in Hamas-friendly Qatar. It has provided funds to Gaza which they admitted would result in arming Hamas, and pillaged stockpiles of U.S. arms stored in Israel as part of a long-standing agreement, and sent them to Ukraine.

Like the conniving Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings, the Biden administration, as the Obama administration before it, has at every turn counseled Israel to maximize restraint and complacency in the face of a growing peril, all while professing friendship.

Here at home, the Democratic Socialists of America, a group that consists of numerous Democrat politicians at the local, state, and federal level, hosted the largest Pro-Hamas rally thus far, in New York City replete with open calls in support of terrorist violence. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a group with close ties to Hamas, has called for a National Day of Resistance and a “Unity Intifada” in solidarity with the Hamas attack for Thursday, Oct. 12.

In the face of this reality, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying the attack represents “an attack on America,” or Qatar-friendly Sen. Lindsay Graham issuing threats against Iran is mere fecklessness and bravado. The truth is that as it is currently constituted, the U.S. government, especially the State Department and intelligence agencies, are unlikely to do anything but deliberately hamper Israel’s attempts to defend itself and seek ways to further bolster Iran and its proxies behind the scenes.

Americans should demand the American government keep out of meddling with Israel’s response and allow it to defend its citizens as it sees fit. Certainly, the U.S. should honor existing agreements and obligations (refilling drained stockpiles for instance) but over-the-top or performative action will likely only amount to interference.

The Invasion on Our Own Border

Meanwhile, we should tend urgently to our own border and security. Israel’s border with Gaza was one of the most heavily surveilled and monitored borders in the world. As events have shown, surveillance is not enough. U.S. border doves for years promised that a border can be protected by a mere “virtual fence” of cameras and sensors. The reality is that only real physical barriers, like walls, watched over by sufficient numbers of properly armed and trained men constitute a secure border. Anything else is theater.

On the other side of that border are barbaric criminal cartels and narco-insurgents every bit as murderous as Hamas and Hezbollah. In fact, Hezbollah has extensive ties with various drug cartels, which it has used to try and conduct attacks inside the United States. Hundreds of individuals already named on the terrorist watchlist have crossed into the country.

Israeli awareness of the situation in Gaza now being criticized as insufficient, is undoubtedly far superior to our own understanding of the threats on the other side of our own border.

The Biden administration continues to facilitate an invasion, consisting of as much as an entire infantry division a day, mostly of military aged males across the Southern border. They come from all over the world, including places rife with jihadist terrorists, and increasingly from hostile adversaries like China. Some, likely working with the cartels, cross the border wearing camouflage and carrying firearms.

We can no more count on the Biden Administration to defend our border than to assist Israel. That means states and local communities must take their fates into their own hands.

In the wake of the attack from Gaza, Israel immediately loosened its otherwise quite strict gun laws to increase the number of prepared citizens able to defend themselves from terrorists. The reality is that no government force can respond quickly enough against such overwhelming violence to prevent tragedy. Americans should strongly oppose any efforts to restrain our own Second Amendment and take advantage of the ability to possess and train with firearms for their own defense whenever and wherever possible.

Bolster Law Enforcement

Local communities in Israel were quickly overwhelmed by the coordinated terrorist attack, and local police were not equal to the onslaught. It has been reported that over 30 Israeli police were trapped in a police station that came under siege by Hamas gunmen. Many fought bravely and lost their lives.

In America, both urban and rural areas are struggling to recruit, train, and outfit sufficient law enforcement officers following the left’s assault upon policing in 2020. Many local agencies are hundreds of officers below their required needs. Cities continue to attempt to replace armed law enforcement with mere social workers.

Americans everywhere should endeavor to support and bolster the morale of their local law enforcement, most especially their elected Sheriff. Encourage your community to provide the necessary funding to train, recruit, and equip the best possible local law enforcement, without relying upon fickle and restrictive federal grants. Law enforcement leaders should consider ways to augment smaller or struggling police forces with citizen auxiliaries, properly vetted and trained. States should look at ways to bolster their National Guard and State Defense Forces and prepare them for the kinds of violence we know are possible.

Things will get worse before they get better. The attack on Israel is an unmistakable sign that we have entered a dangerous and trying time. The forces of evil fester and spread, not just in the Middle East, but here at home.

First and foremost we should, as Tolkien wrote, set ourselves to “uprooting evil in the fields that we know” and encourage our friends abroad to do the same.

Biden’s Choice To Drain Key Oil Reserve Leaves U.S. More Vulnerable To Rising Risks Of War, Experts Warn

/in , , , , , , /by

  • President Joe Biden’s decision to release oil from the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) ahead of the 2022 midterm elections has left the U.S. in a potentially precarious position now that war has broken out between Israel and Hamas, numerous energy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
  • The SPR now holds about 17 days of emergency supply, and sits at its lowest level since 1983, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
  • “It is unconscionable that the administration would use a hedge against these sorts of unpredictable geopolitical events to win a few seats in a midterm election,” Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, told the DCNF of the SPR releases.

President Joe Biden opted to tap into the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) in late 2021 and 2022, a decision which now leaves the U.S. in a potentially vulnerable position as the Middle East is on the verge of a conflict that could disrupt oil supply, numerous energy policy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Biden decided to release 180 million barrels of oil from the SPR in late 2021 and 2022 as fuel prices skyrocketed for American consumers, a spike which created a political headache for Biden and fellow Democrats in the months leading up to the midterm elections. Now, the SPR has about 17 days of emergency supply left as war breaks out between Israel and Hamas, an Iran-backed terrorist organization, a situation which leaves the U.S. in a precarious position if the conflict escalates to further destabilize the Middle East, experts told the DCNF.

“It was a colossal mistake to use the strategic petroleum reserve as a strategic political reserve to try to buy Biden some goodwill during the midterms,” Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, told the DCNF. “It is unconscionable that the administration would use a hedge against these sorts of unpredictable geopolitical events to win a few seats in a midterm election,” Pyle said, adding that the decision “puts us in a precarious position, because we do not know how things in the Middle East might escalate given this shocking and unprecedented event.”

The SPR is at its lowest levels since 1983, and the Department of Energy (DOE) decided against replenishing it in August, citing unfavorable market conditions. In July, numerous energy experts cautioned that it could take “decades” to refill the SPR after Biden’s releases. Democrats ripped former President Donald Trump for considering replenishment when oil prices hovered around $25 per barrel, claiming that such a move would be a handout to Big Oil. Crude oil futures have remained above $65 per barrel since October of 2022.

Hamas claims that Iran provided backing for Saturday’s savage attacks that started the ongoing war, according to two reports by The Wall Street Journal. The Biden administration has condemned the attacks and reaffirmed its strong support for Israel as it strikes back, but the administration so far has not yet identified any definitive evidence linking the Iranian regime to the Hamas rampages, according to Reuters. As of August, Iran produced more than 3 million barrels of oil each day, according to Reuters, an amount equivalent to about 3% of the world’s daily production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

“Biden drained the Strategic Petroleum reserves to keep the Senate in Democrat control after the 2022 midterm elections. We had no oil crisis,” Daniel Turner, director of Power The Future, told the DCNF. “One bad Gulf hurricane could cripple our economy … imagine the chaos if we had a real oil crisis” as a result of war in the Middle East or other factors beyond the control of the U.S. government, he continued.

Notably, approximately 6 million barrels released from the SPR since July 2021 were ultimately sold to China.

The war between Israel and Hamas could precipitate a situation similar to the 1973 oil crisis. The OPEC oil cartel imposed an embargo on the U.S. in response to the American decision to resupply the Israeli military while it battled against Arab states that had invaded on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. Prices skyrocketed and hurt the American economy for an extended period of time, a key motivating factor in the Ford administration’s 1975 move to establish the SPR as an emergency resource, according to the DOE.

“The SPR was created because of the OPEC embargo and they sold that off to buy votes in last fall’s election,” Dan Kish, senior fellow for the Institute for Energy Research, told the DCNF. “With a fawning press corps that is at once incurious as well as supportive of their anti-domestic energy agenda, they just figure they can pull the wool over the public’s eyes and get away with it,” Kish said of the Biden administration.

The Israel-Hamas war could expand into a wider regional conflict, especially if Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based terrorist proxy of the Iranian regime, enters the fight along Israel’s northern border, according to Semafor.

“The history of every war fought in the last 120 years clearly demonstrates how crucial it is to maintain ample supplies of petroleum and keep supply lines open to power any nation’s military,” David Blackmon, a 40-year veteran of the oil and gas business who now writes and consults on energy, told the DCNF. “One would have hoped the people in the White House and the Pentagon would have a grasp on this unambiguous lesson of history,” he continued, adding that “it should be obvious to everyone by now that the Biden administration does not maintain adequate respect for the need to maintain U.S. energy security.”

Neither the White House nor the DOE responded immediately to requests for comment.

Obama and Biden’s Anti-American Policies Led to Hamas Attack, Expert Says

/in , , , , , , , /by

The ongoing, deadly attack on Israel by Hamas could never have taken place without the active support of the last two Democratic administrations, which have supported radical Islam in order to correct the legacy of Western “colonialism,” experts say.

As of this writing, more than 900 Israelis have died, 2,600 have been injured, and an estimated 150 have been taken hostage since hostilities commenced on Saturday, according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Hamas has killed 11 Americans and “likely” taken an unknown number of American hostages, President Joe Biden confirmed. “The safety of American citizens, whether at home or abroad, is my top priority as president,” said Biden in a press statement Monday.

But experts say Hamas could never have gained the strength and support it has without the last 14 years of Democratic presidential leadership, which has transferred billions of dollars to terrorist funders, advanced Islamists’ interests in the Middle East, and harmed U.S. interests out of radical anti-American ideology.

Most recently, the Biden administration announced on September 11 that it had “unfrozen” $6 billion in Iranian funds held by South Korea, which would go exclusively to “humanitarian” needs. But Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi declared, “This money belongs to the Iranian people, the Iranian government, so the Islamic Republic of Iran will decide what to do with this money.”

“Iran has, unfortunately, always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism, on supporting groups like Hamas,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told “Meet the Press” on Sunday, after host Kristen Welker noted that “money is fungible.” Despite the terrorist attack, “President Biden is refusing to freeze the $6 billion ransom payment to Iran,” noted Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who called on the administration to “freeze the $6 billion now.”

The $6 billion adds to $1.7 billion the Obama-Biden administration released to Iran in 2016.

“The Obama administration and the Biden administration — this neo-Marxist Democratic regime that has been in place since 2009 — is anti-Israeli and pro-Iranian. Their foreign policy objective is to hand over hegemony of the Middle East over to Iran,” Chris Gacek, senior fellow for Regulatory Affairs at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. “They have had one consistent objective: They’ve been trying for two administrations to undermine Israeli security. And they’ve lied about it.”

The pro-Teheran stance of Barack Obama, the ideological mover behind both administrations, comes from “a large mélange of ideological fragments,” Gacek stated. “In his Marxist, anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Christian cosmology, Israel fits in there as a satellite that has to be destroyed. But American power also has to be destroyed.”

Obama offered one version of his intellectual pedigree in his first autobiography, “Dreams from my Father,” saying as a college student:

“I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz [sic.] Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy.”

As president, Obama declared, “Iran will be and should be a regional power. They are a big country and a sophisticated country in the region.” Obama initiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), allowing Iran to develop uranium for “civilian” usage. He kept silent during the summer 2009 Iranian civilian uprising, which police put down violently.

Iran has since penetrated the highest diplomatic circles of the Obama and Biden administrations, according to a report late last month from Semafor.com. In 2014, the Iran Experts Initiative began seeking friendly experts to repeat its talking points. Three members of IEI became aides to Biden’s special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley. The administration revoked Malley’s security clearance in April but did not announce the reason until details appeared in the Iranian press. This summer, the Tehran Times published a recording of private conversations featuring the Biden administration’s White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, Brett McGurk, discussing Iranian policy and leaked “sensitive but unclassified” documents describing the controversy surrounding Malley.

Islamist influence in Democratic circles dates back to at least Obama. “At least six American Islamist activists who work closely with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy,” noted Investors Business Daily in 2013.

As a result, Democratic assessments of the region have faltered. “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades,” said National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan in an interview with The Atlantic less than two weeks before the attacks. “The amount of time that I have to spend on crisis and conflict in the Middle East compared today to my predecessors going back to 9/11 is significantly reduced.”

The ideological indifference or foreign influence may explain why the Biden administration spent Monday tweeting about the price of concert tickets. Similarly, Biden administration spokesperson John Kirby affirmed a previous statement from Joe Biden that climate change represents a greater existential threat than nuclear war.

Yet Israel has problems of its own, Gacek told TWS. “Its entire security apparatus appears to be anti-conservative and anti-Netanyahu. I can’t believe they haven’t known this was going on for a year.” The Times of Israel reported Monday that Egyptian intelligence warned Israel that Hamas had been planning “something big,” but its entreaties went ignored. “Israel’s defense establishment is not fit for purpose,” said Gacek — a problem that cannot be solved by foreign funding or intervention. “You can give them money, but if they’ve got stupid leftists running the government, what’s the point?”

The attack by terrorists also throws the Obama-Biden policy of lax border enforcement into stark relief, said Gacek. By June, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol had encountered 464 known or suspected terrorists at the U.S. borders. “Who knows how many tens of thousands of potential terrorists are here?” asked Gacek. “And this is only the beginning. In 2024, our own sleeper cells might start opening up.”

“We’ve got to get really tough mentally,” he said.

COLORADO: Openly Marxist State Representative Joins Pro-Jihad Rally During Hamas Massacres of Israeli Civilians

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

For background on the Marxist Hernández, see here. Meanwhile, the claim that no one at the pro-jihad rally was pro-Hamas is silly. There is no action for “Palestinian human rights” that doesn’t display open and gleeful support for Hamas jihadis and other forces of like mind.

Rookie legislator reprimanded for supporting Palestine in wake of attacks

by Carol McKinley, Denver Gazette, October 9, 2023:

Hours after the terrorist organization Hamas launched a surprise holiday attack on Israel, Colorado Rep. Tim Hernández joined around three dozen participants at a rally at the state Capitol and waved a Palestinian flag.

The Palestine Solidarity Rally was described in a flyer as “An Emergency protest for Palestinian Resistance.” It appeared to be organized by the Colorado Palestinian Coalition.

Hernández’s place among the crowd may have gone unnoticed except that it was caught by television cameras gathering footage of the event.

Almost immediately, lawmakers on both sides jumped on Hernández’ action.

“He voiced his approval of the slaughter of innocent people,” said Rep. Lisa Frizell, R-Castle Rock. “I find that to be contrary to anything that I hold dear.”

There is no rule that prohibits legislative house members from participating in a rally or protest. Still, Frizell bemoaned Hernández’s “absence of decorum,” saying she doesn’t believe he “respects the institution he was appointed to.”

But Rep. Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora, said it is unfair to single out Hernandez for “expressing his beliefs that all people should be afforded human rights.” She pointed out that there has been “massive precedent” of other elected officials who have also attended rallies, voicing opinions on the west steps of the state Capitol during the repeal of Roe v. Wade and most recently when conflicts arose in Sudan and Ethiopia.

“Let me be clear,” Jodeh said. “As far as I know, no one held that rally for Hamas. People were rallying for Palestinian human rights.” To equate Hernández’ actions with Hamas, she said, is “reckless.”…
