An Unusual Christmas Miracle

/in , , , , , , /by

The idea of the United States as an independent nation was saved by an unusual act on Christmas night in 1776. It was a battle, and, God in His providence helped America in one more step toward becoming free. Such was the belief of the leader of this effort.

George Washington faced a momentous task—to lead a ragtag army of farmers and merchants, armed with liberty in their hearts and a love for God and country, against the most formidable army and navy in the world at that time.

At the beginning of December 1776, things looked really bad for the American cause. Washington confided to his nephew, Lund Washington, just how bad things were.

He remarked in a letter dated December 10, 1776, “In short, your imagination can scarce extend to a situation more distressing than mine. Our only dependence now is upon the speedy enlistment of a new army. If this fails, I think the game will be pretty well up, as, from disaffection and want of spirit and fortitude, the inhabitants, instead of resistance, are offering submission.”

His troops were reduced that year from around 20,000 to about 3,000. And even some of those 3,000 were tempted to quit. A betting man would have thought it was all over.

So, Washington decided to take a risky gamble. He led a surprise attack on Christmas night against a force of German mercenaries—a Hessian Army—that King George III had hired in the war. This became known as the Battle of Trenton, and it required Washington and his men to row across the Delaware River in the freezing ice.

From this comes the iconic image of Washington crossing the frozen Delaware.

The story is told that a British sympathizer in Trenton became aware of the American plot, and wrote up a note warning the Hessian troops about it. The note is reported to have ended up in the hands of the commander, but he put it in his pocket to read later, and continued his drinking and his card games. Besides, it was Christmas night. Who would have an attack then? The Hessian commander died in the surprise attack.

But Washington didn’t stop there. He marched his troops onto Princeton, New Jersey, and soon successfully took on the British there also. Mount Vernon.com notes, “The American victory at the Battle of Princeton (January 3, 1777) was one of the most consequential of the American Revolution ….Washington’s victory bolstered American morale and provided great confidence to his soldiers.”

The victories of Trenton and Princeton were important ones, not so much because they were strategic places in America, but to show that the Americans could beat the enemy after all. They led to more badly needed enlistments.

Six years later, on May 8, 1783, Rev. Ezra Stiles, the president of Yale College, gave a speech before the leadership of Connecticut. Keep in mind, here was a Christian headmaster addressing a Christian legislature. Note his reference to Biblical faith undergirding the American experiment.

Said the president of Yale: “All forms of civil polity have been tried by mankind, except one, and that seems to have been reserved in Providence to be realized in America.

“Our system of dominion and civil polity would be imperfect without the true religion; or that from the diffusion of virtue among the people of any community would arise their greatest secular happiness: which will terminate in this conclusion, that holiness ought to be the end [i.e., the goal] of all civil government. ‘That thou mayest be a holy people unto the Lord thy God.’”

Rev. Stiles continues, “In our lowest and most dangerous state, in 1776 and 1777, we sustained ourselves against the British Army of sixty thousand troops, commanded by…the ablest generals

Britain could procure throughout Europe, with a naval force of twenty-two thousand seamen in above eighty men-of-war.

“Who but a Washington, inspired by Heaven, could have conceived the surprise move upon the enemy at Princeton—that Christmas eve [sic] when Washington and his army crossed the Delaware?”

Christmas marks the birth of the Prince of Peace. George Washington regularly worshiped Jesus, and he faithfully discharged his duties of defending our country when needed, including on Christmas 1776.

Repeatedly, Washington saw the hand of God, whom he referred to 270 times as Providence (the God of the Bible who answers prayer), help the American cause. So much so that, at a different time, he wrote to one of his generals, “The hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations.”

Our “obligations” to thank God for the hard-fought American freedom are still in force today.

‘Climate Solutions’: Biden Admin Sent 65 Million Condoms Abroad As Part Of ‘Family Planning’ Program

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

American taxpayers paid for more than 65 million condoms sent to foreign countries in fiscal year 2022 as part of a program for “family planning,” which the agency touts in other documents as a climate change solution.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) sent 65.5 million condoms, 9.8 million injectable birth control products and 334,000 IUDs abroad in fiscal year 2022 as part of its efforts to facilitate family planning, especially in the third world, according to an agency document overviewing the program. That document specifically cites “[mitigating] the impact of population dynamics on natural resources and state stability” as one of the benefits of the family planning program, while a 2023 USAID document directly asserts that “climate vulnerability, population growth and unmet need for family planning often occur together,” touting family planning as a climate solution.

The USAID sends the contraceptives to many different countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Guatemala, Haiti, Pakistan and Uganda, according to the agency’s website. The agency also distributes the contraceptives with an eye toward reducing the prevalence of AIDS, improving educational outcomes for women and decreasing abortion rates, according to the overview document for the program.

For example, the agency sent 500,000 condoms to Yemen as part of the “Strengthening Family Planning Services in Yemen” program over several years. Of those more than 500,000 condoms, 438,801 were “consumed,” according to the USAID’s report on the program in Yemen.

“Today, in the 41 countries where USAID focuses its support, modern contraceptive prevalence has increased to 34 percent, and the average family size has dropped to 3.9,” according to the agency’s program overview document.

USAID links climate change and the importance of family planning, asserting in its 2023 primer on the subject that “access to rights-based planning and girls’ education are among the most impactful climate solutions,” and that “climate change-related displacement can worsen already entrenched gender inequalities” like “disruptions in access to essential health services, poor maternal health outcomes, and an increase in gender-based violence and child marriage.”

Proponents of sweeping government action on climate change often assert that unchecked population growth is detrimental to the environment because a swelling population necessitates the consumption of more resources, and some even argue explicitly that population decline will make for a better world on that basis.

USAID did not respond immediately to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Voters Are Increasingly Ditching The Democratic Party For The GOP In Crucial Swing State

/in , , , , , , , /by

Democratic voters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania are increasingly leaving the party for the GOP ahead of the 2024 election.

Pennsylvania, which has picked the winner of the presidential election for the last four cycles, has lost over 35,000 of its Democratic voters to Republicans this year, according to Dec. 18 data released by the the state’s Department of State. Conversely, only 15,622 of the state’s Republican voters became Democrats in 2023.

Additionally, roughly 20,900 Democrats and 18,900 Republicans have withdrawn from both major political parties, according to the state data.

In 2016, Pennsylvania narrowly broke for former President Donald Trump, where he beat Hillary Clinton by less than one point. The state swung back to the Democrats in 2020 when Biden won 50% to 48.8%.

The RealClearPolitics average for a 2024 hypothetical rematch between the two in Pennsylvania suggests Trump is currently leading Biden by one point. The former president is also leading Biden in several other crucial battleground states, like Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Michigan.

Pennsylvania also features a critical Senate race on the ballot, as Democratic Sen. Bob Casey seeks reelection. The senator will likely have to face Republican David McCormick next year for the seat that The Cook Political Report currently characterizes as in the “Lean D” category.

Recent polling largely suggests that Casey, who has held the seat since 2007, has an advantage in the race, as he’s beating McCormick anywhere from six to 15 points, according to FiveThirtyEight’s survey compilation.

“Current voter registration trends and polling in Pennsylvania should be setting off alarms for President Biden and Democrats at the state and national level,” Erik Telford, the Commonwealth Foundation’s senior vice president of public affairs, told Newsweek, who first reported the numbers.

However, Pennsylvania still has nearly a half million more Democratic voters than Republican voters ahead of 2024, according to the state data.

Neither the state’s Democratic or Republican party immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

Air Force Academy Privately Fretted The End Of Race-Based Admissions Would Hamstring ‘Diversity’ Goals

/in , , , , , , , /by

The Air Force Academy’s top official worried the Supreme Court’s decision that race-based admissions were unconstitutional would set back the service’s “warfighting imperative” of building a racially diverse military, according to emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

On June 30, 2023, Lt. Gen. Richard Clark, the Air Force Academy’s superintendent, wrote a preview of the consequences that the Supreme Court’s decision striking down affirmative action could have for service academies’ abilities to judge candidates on the basis of race, according to emails the DCNF obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Although the justices did not overtly apply the decision to military schools, the records show how the Air Force Academy scrambled to minimize the impact of the June 29 decision on racial diversity goals.

“If we lose our limited window to reshape the racial diversity of each incoming class, it would affect our ability to meet the warfighting imperative of fielding a diverse, inclusive force,” Clark wrote.

The names of recipients of Clark’s email were redacted.

Clark noted that the Air Force Academy itself has limited discretion over the composition of each year’s incoming class. Congressional appointments, when U.S. senators and representatives nominate young members of their constituencies for attendance, determine more than half of entrants, with another 25% or so allotted to athletic recruitment.

After that, the academy is only able to “shape” the remaining 10% to 20% of officer candidates, Clark said. The academy could consider a variety of factors, including their potential to become pilots — for which the Air Force is experiencing a severe shortage — socio-economic status, gender and race.

“If [the U.S. Air Force Academy] were to voluntarily comply with the Supreme Court decision, our ability to shape a diverse class would become more limited,” Clark wrote.

Two candidates presenting similar overall qualifications might be judged based on those factors, he wrote, allowing for the possibility that a candidate’s race could be the determining factor. He noted that the Air Force Academy has outperformed other services in terms of racial and ethnic diversity.

“These factors are used to design a class of diverse backgrounds in accordance with [the Department of the Air Force’s] broad definition of diversity and operational needs,” Clark wrote. “As such, not being able to consider race in a holistic review would further hinder DAF diversity, moreso than civilian universities.”

The Air Force’s definition of diversity includes race, ethnicity, gender, personal life experience, cultural knowledge, prior education, work experience and “spiritual perspectives,” department guidance states.

Chief Justice John Roberts punted the question of whether the Supreme Court’s ruling on race-based admissions should apply to service academies to a later date, noting that the military may have “potentially distinct” reasons related to national security for considering race as a factor in admissions.

Following the court’s decision, Students for Fair Admissions sued the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis to prove their race-based admissions policies are discriminatory. In mid-December, a federal judge blocked an injunction that would have put a temporary stay on the Naval Academy’s use of race in admissions.

Department of Defense (DOD) service academy officials argued in July that the military does not entertain illegal racial quotas but does angle recruiting efforts at specific populations to meet racial, ethnic and gender diversity goals.

An email to Clark, dated Oct. 31, 2022, the day after oral arguments began, noted that the academy had worked extensively with the unnamed solicitor general, likely referring to U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar on the case to furnish her with the military’s perspective on the importance of considering race in admissions decisions. Representatives from the academy and members of other federal agencies attended two practice debates with the solicitor general, the records show.

The sender’s list was redacted, but language in the email suggests the sender was affiliated with the Air Force Academy.

“If what you’re asking me is whether we think the military has distinctive interests in this context, I would say yes,” Prelogar told the Supreme Court in October, a transcript shows. “And I think it’s critically important for the Court in its decision in these cases to make clear that those interests are, I think, truly compelling with respect to the military.”

The Air Force Academy would endeavor to remain in lockstep with its Army and Navy counterparts as well as guidance from the Secretary of Defense, Clark said in the June email.

Prior to a decision on the outcome of the case, however, the Air Force seemed confident the ruling would not meaningfully impact the Academy “since they do admission differently from Harvard/UNC,” an unnamed sender wrote in a June 29 email to Clark. That is, “as long as it didn’t ban targeting recruiting efforts.”

However, the sender noted that the Department of Defense and the academy would need some time to fully parse out the ramifications of whatever the Supreme Court decides.

The Air Force said it withheld some records from the DCNF’s request “as it is considered privileged in litigation” per United States Code, Title 5, Section 552 (b)(5) covering documents “which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency.”

The Air Force Academy did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Michigan Supreme Court Declines To Remove Trump From 2024 Ballot

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

The Michigan Supreme Court declined Wednesday to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot.

The court wrote that it was “not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court,” according to a brief order. Last week, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies officials who take an oath to the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.

Colorado halted enforcement of its decision until Jan. 4 to provide Trump time to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision leaves in place a ruling by a lower court finding both Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and the courts cannot restrict Trump from being a candidate during the state’s primary, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“Even if Trump were disqualified from holding the office of president of the United States by the Insurrection Clause, nothing prevents the Michigan Republican Party from identifying him as a candidate in the upcoming primary election,” the state’s Court of Appeals ruled Dec. 14, per the Detroit Free Press.

Judge Elizabeth Welch issued a short dissent Wednesday, writing that “considering the importance of the legal questions at issue and the speed with which the appellants and the judiciary have moved, I believe it is important for this Court to issue a decision on the merits.”

Free Speech For People (FSFP), an organization backed by left-wing donors, filed the Michigan lawsuit to remove Trump in September after filing a similar case in Minnesota.

“The events of January 6, 2021, amounted to an insurrection or a rebellion under Section 3: a violent, coordinated effort to storm the Capitol to obstruct and prevent the Vice President of the United States and the United States Congress from fulfilling their constitutional roles by certifying President Biden’s victory, and to illegally extend then-President Trump’s tenure in office,” the lawsuit stated.

PM Netanyahu visits unit 9900: ‘We say to the Hamas terrorists – we see you and we will get to you’

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

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the 9900 formation of the Intelligence Division, in Kirya in Tel Aviv.

At the beginning of the visit, the Prime Minister received an overview from the commander of the formation Brigadier General S. on the main visual intelligence efforts in the fighting in Gaza, on the information collection technologies at the various levels and on the international cooperation in this field.

In addition, Brigadier General S. surveyed how the information collected by the fighters in the field was used.

In addition, Prime Minister Netanyahu observed the artificial intelligence capabilities of the array through augmented reality glasses, which show the Gaza Strip in a three-dimensional view.

Afterwards, the Prime Minister visited the “Space Center” which leads the collection of intelligence using satellites.

WATCH: How the IDF Prevents Civilian Casualties

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

The IDF takes significant measures to diminish harm to innocent civilians.

Here’s a breakdown of how we do it:

Phone Calls and Text Messages

As part of its efforts to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, the IDF makes phone calls and sends text messages to civilians residing in buildings designated for attack. In the following video, you can hear a recording of an IDF soldier calling a Gazan to warn him of an impending airstrike in his vicinity.

Leaflets

The Israel Air Force has dropped leaflets over Gaza that warn civilians to avoid being present in the vicinity of Hamas operatives. These leaflets urge civilians to move away from Hamas targets, making clear Israel’s intention to minimize civilian casualties. Since the operation began, Hamas has repeatedly instructed Palestinians to ignore these warnings.

Roof-Knocking

“Roof knocking” is when the IAF targets a building with a loud but non-lethal bomb that warns civilians that they are in the vicinity of a weapons cache or other target. This method is used to allow all residents to leave the area before the IDF targets the site with live ammunition.

Abandoning Air Strikes

The IDF has aborted aerial strikes seconds before they were to be carried out, due to civilians being present at the site of the target. The following video shows how IAF airstrikes were called off when civilians were identified in the area.

AOC likens Palestinians to Jesus in Christmas message, calls Israel a violent, occupying force

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

As a purveyor of the most hateful anti-Jewish propaganda, AOC goes to such an extreme that she has forgotten that Jesus was a Jew from the house of David, and that the region of Judea wasn’t renamed “Palestine” until a century after the time of Christ. Also, as it is succinctly put in a Jerusalem Post article: “Jesus’s homeland is under attack by Islamic terrorists.”

AOC slammed over Christmas message about Israel-Hamas war: ‘Jew hate’

by Melissa Koenig, New York Post, December 25, 2023:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likens Palestinians to Jesus while describing Israel as a violent occupying force in an online Christmas post, prompting critics to slam what they call her blatant “Jew hate.”

In her Instagram story on Christmas Eve, the lefty New York Democrat shared a photo of a child in rubble in the Gaza Strip and said she is praying “for the peace and protection of the innocent in Gaza and the occupied territories.

“In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents,” she wrote.

“He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power. Mary and Joseph, displaced by violence and forced to flee, became refugees in Egypt with a newborn waiting to one day return home.

“Thousands of years later, right-wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians, so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has canceled this year’s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both [fear for their] safety and respect,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

“And yet, also today, holy children are still being born in a place of unspeakable violence — for every child born, of any identity and from any place, is sacred. Especially the children of Gaza,” AOC said…..

American Fascism: How Soviet Socialism is Devouring Our American Dream

/in , , , , , , , /by

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within… The traitor is the carrier of the plague. You have unbarred the gates of Rome to him.” — Cicero

Similar idea was expressed by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we lose our freedoms, it will be because we have destroyed ourselves from within.”  Human nature has not changed since Cicero. It is true—the traitor is the carrier of the plague…My beloved America the Beautiful is experiencing that exact plague today that was brought to us by Soviet Fascism and has no idea bout it…

The ideas are not flying on air by wind—the people are implementing the ideas, and disseminating them. History proves it.  As soon as Adolf Hitler came to power to provide the Third Reich thousand years of life, the Reich was spreading the Fascist ideology across the world. Europe was the first victim. Do you remember ‎Austrian Anschluss in 1938? That was only the beginning and America didn’t escape the policy. German teachers and professors marched to America to share their Fascist ideology. The institution of student’s exchange had been created. Hitler’s right-hand Joseph Goebbels determined the manners and methods of the teaching: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Neither President FDR, nor President of Harvard University had opposed it and brainwashing of America has begun: American students in Germany and Americans by German students in America. All of that has ended up in WWII and millions death…

Alas, history loves to repeat itself. Twenty years later, another dictator, Joseph Stalin, a former partner of Adolf Hitler, borrowed Hitler’s policy. The Russian agitators marched to Europe and America carrying Stalin’s ideology of Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet fascism. Stalin had the same agenda, like Hitler, to spread his ideology around the globe to have One World Socialist Government under Russia’s rule. He knew that to defeat capitalism he needed masses of people and his Military and KGB had joined agitators helping Chinese Communists to create a Chinese Communist State in the 1940s. The entire infrastructure of the Russian Intelligence Apparatus had been repeated in China’s government. Since then, the ideology of Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism, has been exercised by both countries, though under different names: Soviet Socialism in Russia and Communism in China. They are intimately connected by the umbilical cord of the Stalinist design.

Seventy years later the COP is puzzled in the vicious circle of ignorance, talking about Marxism, as the American enemy #1 for decades. They won’t come out of this vicious circle of incompetence, until understanding that Marxism is dead, Stalin killed it. Marxist Theory has never been materialized in practices by any governments. We are dealing with Stalinist Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism, writing and warning America and the world about it. Under the name of Soviet Socialism, Stalin and his devoted disciples have been fooling and deceiving the world and the U.S.A, for the last hundred years. Stalin was preaching Marxism, to defraud people, but implemented his Soviet Socialism in Russia and across the globe. As a matter of fact, the fraudulent ideology of Soviet Socialism can’t exist without the force of punitive agencies to sustain the agenda. That is the reason I was introducing to America the actual force: KGB’s Mafia/Army—the Evil Doer for the last forty-two years. Read my column: The Stalin/Andropov Legacy in America: Controlled Opposition.

The vicious circle of ignorance has done even more harm to the American mind, it diverted attention from the actual culprit—the KGB’s Mafia/Army. Look at the current debate within the COP, they are unable to connect simple things in front of them, because they don’t know the Russian history, Stalin’s era of “a famous murderer of the 20th century.” Sean Hannity repeated a hundred times the foreign countries that had bribed Biden’s White House: Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia, China and Romania. He just doesn’t know that all former Soviet satellites and former Soviet Republics are still under the power of the KGB. Stalin had designed it that way—no foreign transaction could’ve escaped the KGB’s supervision—the carrier of the plague. Without knowledge of Russia and its counterintelligence Apparatus we will never defeat the Democrats infiltrated by that Apparatus and using the Russian policy of disinformation against the Republicans today.

The same supervision of the KGB we have in all corners of the society, including the sport. Enes Kanter Freedom, from Turkey feels it deeply, standing respectfully and singing the anthem. Like me with Russia, he has a personal experience with Turkey, he ran away from.  He couldn’t see his family for ten years. Turkey has been playing the double-game since the 20th century, it became obvious under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Turkey, the friend of Vladimir Putin.  Look for the carrier of the plague around Colin Rand Kaepernick, an American civil rights activist and football quarterback, and you can find a lot of bad actors around him in our midst… There are thousands of them. Sean O’Brien, the President of teamsters. would know who killed Jimmy Hoffer and has known what a candidate the teamsters should support in the 2024 election by reading my columns.

There are not many knowledgeable individuals either in the COP or Dems leadership or American social media, let alone the shameful presentations of three presidents of the IVY Leagues Universities missing the enormous danger of anti-Semitism. As a result, the American people stay ignorant and have no idea of the KGB’s Mafi/Army—an Evil Doer, the carrier of the plague that has been committing War Crimes against Humanity for the last hundred years. I’ve been warning about the terrorist state of Russia spreading its fraudulent ideology across the globe, marrying Islam with Communist ideology and using Jihad to fight Western civilization. Finally, the Russian KGB’s Mafia/Army penetrated the White House and the Putin/Biden collusion continued to fight against the Republican party and the American political system, the game of ploys in America, which was started by the Dems party decades ago. Read my columns about how the KGB has killed a Truman’s Party turning it over to Socialism.

I couldn’t break through the wall of mistrust for years. Perhaps, the word Mafia didn’t click in the American mind as a politically organized crime. To prevent Americans from learning the truth, the FBI has submitted my name to the FISA Court and the Court made me a Foreign Agent in 2002, with consequent sabotaging of my writings. Can you imagine my feeling, when I heard Sammy the Bull, Gravano, former mobster, who analyzed the Bidens family, speaking with Jesse Walters on Fox News, Prime Time, November 30, 2023? Sammy Gravano is an American former mobster who became underboss of the famous Gambino crime family/Mafia. Sammy spoke pretty well in complete agreement with my opinion—Biden’s team is a Mafia. I would add—the Soviet Mafia. Read my latest columns for details.

The weaponized FBI  

The weaponized FBI is playing a special role in the Biden government, it has been weaponized exactly the way Stalin weaponized the KGB in the 1930th. The FBI is not only dysfunctional against the Hunter lab-tab, it is also very well-functioning against the Truth, defending Biden. New details about Derek Chauvin’s attack by Ramond “Mundo” Mendoza author of Mexican Mafia Encyclopedia was speaking with Jesse Walters, Prime Time, 12/4/2023. He insisted that a Mexican Mafia-attacker of Derec Chauvin was the FBI’s mole. I believe him, but the entire predicament is a quite complicated case. First, there is no Mexican Mafia and Mexican Cartels, those are Russian Mafia and Russian Cartels. They had been established by Stalin in 1950-60s. I Read my columns or books about the era of Stalin’s dictatorship and the use of Spanish children in spreading the ideology of Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism in Mexico. Also go to Fact-Check of history.

Second, the pundit’s discussion on dictators is laughable. If the people don’t know Stalin’s era of the 20th century and his dictatorship, they have no idea of the real dictators in the 21st century. Though many books are written about Stalin, the GOP incompetents allow the Russian KGB’s Mafia/Army—the Evil Doer to harm America and the world with impunity in the 21st century. Today, the Democrat Biden’s team has continued collaborating with Putin, implementing Soviet Socialism in America. The White House coordinating-colluding with Russia on the Southern border against the American political system. Biden’s ties with Putin started in suffocating Ukrainian democracy in 2014-2015. The Burisma actual documents are the evidence of Biden’s collusion with pro-Russian thugs, the owner of Burisma and the friend of the former pro-Russian Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych. Biden’s quid-pro-quo statement is the best evidence of his collusion with Putin against the democratic Ukraine…

Biden’s collusion with Putin has another very visual evidence—Southern Border—the devastating pictures seen by us. It is Biden’s policy of open border that provided Vladimir Putin’s KGB with the opportunity to organize migrants gathering them from 120 countries globally. Those pictures stay in human memory and tell the real story. And the real story is not about bribes only, but TREASON, the Putin/Biden Plot—the real criminal actions against the American Constitutional republic and Law. Donald Trump Jr. is right: “If you were trying to destroy America from within, would you do anything different than today’s Democratic Party?” Do you remember the 2020 “Summer of Love?” Hundreds of policemen were injured, destruction of property and vandalism have reigned. That was American Fascism in action. Read my column: The Putin Biden KGB Border Plot, October 17, 2022.

Third: The same supervision of the KGB we have in all corners of the society, including the sport. Enes Kanter Freedom, from Turkey feels it deeply, standing respectfully and singing the anthem. Like me with Russia, he has a personal experience with Turkey, he ran away from.  He couldn’t see his family for ten years. Turkey has been playing the double-game since the 20th century, it became obvious under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan-President of Turkey, the friend of Vladimir Putin.  Look for the carrier of the plague around Colin Rand Kaepernick, an American civil rights activist and football quarterback, and you can find a lot of bad actors around him in our midst. There are thousands of them. Sean O’Brien, the President of teamsters. would know who killed Jimmy Hoffer and has known what a candidate the teamsters should support in the 2024 election by reading my columns.

Violence and the rising crime in America won’t stop until American Fascism runs the Democrat party. There is another caveat on the FBI issue to dessus. Maybe Vivek Ramaswamy is right–January 6 is an “inside job.” As I have already stated before, our problems lie in the awareness of the actual enemy, which is not Marxism, but the actual culprit, the KGB’s Mafia/Army—the Evil Doer… Rep. Clay Higgins Drops Bombshell Truths about January 6th, discovering the FBI’s dirty tricks of the “ghost buses.”

“That’s when Higgins discovered the “ghost buses” loaded with federal agents who were dressed as Trump supporters. Higgins has also revealed that there were feds dressed as Trump supporters who were already stationed inside the US Capitol before the Antifa-in-disguise people started breaking windows. This is one of the most important videos about January 6 that we’ve seen to date.” Watch as Higgins explains everything he’s uncovered to Lara Logan, it is long, but very truthful testimony. I recognized all features of the KGB dirty tricks, used by the FBI and American fascism in his interview, December 15, 2023

Fourth: don’t be surprised by student’s pro-Hamas protests in American Colleges and Universities. It is a product of long-term Russian policy towards the Middle East, desired to stay in the dark behind the scene, acting through its proxies on the Middle East. Soviet Fascism is quite a manipulating ideology: but the agenda is the old one: to fight American capitalism and drive America from the area. We are not aware of that, because both the FBI and CIA are not able to identify the foreign agents freely acting against America on our soil–both don’t know Russia and its counterintelligence Apparatus—as a result Soros destroys us for thirty years.  Ramond “Mundo” Mendoza, author of Mexican Mafia Encyclopedia insisted that a Mexican Mafia-attacker of Derec Chauvin in prison was the FBI’s mole. I believe it is true, but there is no Mexican Mafia, but the Russian one, which is another connection of Biden’s team with Russia. Moreover, the FBI’s connection with Russia is making our national security doomed…

I’ve introduced the Stalinist Socialist modus operandi almost in all my columns so it is important. Stalinist Socialist modus operandi: lies, deceit, fabrication and fraud. Pay attention to the Biden’s team: they all are covering up the truth by lying non-stop, turning America on the brink of destruction. The implementation of Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet fascism by the Democrat party, had been going on for several decades, changing drastically our political system and culture. Talking about the ideology America’s pundits use the term Marxism, which is critically wrong, as it confuses the audience and diverting attention from the real culprits doing it for decades. As a former Soviet attorney knowing the dirty tricks of the KGB’s Mafia/Army, I started warning the American public by my writings forty-two years ago.

There are many features of Soviet Socialism I have identified in Biden’s America and writing about them. The main actor of the achievements is the Russian KGB’s Mafia/Army. The FBI targeting Catholics as possible terrorists has completed the list of common identities with the Soviet/Russian KGB. Though all Soviet people had been under government censorship, the tactic of discrediting and silencing critics, the minorities were targeted for their religions as well. Stalin had planned to deport all Jews from the European part of the country to Siberia or the Far East. My family had been targeted to remove us from Leningrad. Stalin’s death saved us in 1953. Yes, Jews were the first, but the second target were Catholics. Read my columns on politics and religions in The Soviet Union to see the real similarity of the KGB and the FBI.

Extremism depends on political ignorance and we have it in our Colleges and Universities: 10% of students fighting for Palestinian cause think that Yasser Arafat was the first Israeli Prime Minister. Fascism is a very manipulating ideology, it’s dangerous for all people and especially for people loving freedom Fascism and Socialism are two sides of the same coin of a totalitarian regime. Fascism in conjunction with Soviet Socialist modus operandi has become a sophisticated form of a veil, allowing Soviet Fascism committing War Crimes, staying incognito. Nobody talks about Soviet Fascism, the Russian terrorist state and War Crimes of a global assault on Western civilization by them for centuries. I hope the war in Israel will bring some light to the truth. Hamas is the Russian proxy, like Iran and other members of the new “Axis of Evil” under the Russian umbrella. Russian war on Ukraine and Israel-Hamas War is one war waged by Soviet Fascism against Humanity, I’ve been writing for forty-two years. Let me give you some paragraphs to grasp that.

Failed AMERICAN Intelligence

It is impossible to ignore a colossal failure of Israeli Intel by oversleeping the October 7, 2023 massacre. The fiasco of the Israeli Intel is not unique. The American FBI and CIA are dysfunctional today—they have no clue of the Russian KGB’s Mafia/Army. Winston Churchill once described Russia as “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”—words that still ring true. Considering Russia’s current war with Ukraine—and Russia’s role in the shifting balance of power in today’s world—a better understanding of Russia is critical. Jenifer Griffin gave a summary of Hamas on Fox News, 11/3/2023. It was only half of the truth.

As a former Soviet attorney, I know the other half. Do you know that Russia’s Intel recruited Arafat in 1957? The infiltration to the Middle East by Russia’s Intel began then. Do you know that Arafat’s lieutenant Abbas is running a Palestinian State today? Those are the patterns of the Soviet/Russian infiltration to the Middle East to create their proxies in the 1950-1970s. All of that has been managed by the KGB’s Mafia/Army—an Evil Doer. Their espionage is flourishing in Europe and America as well. If Russia was alone spreading Socialism/Communism in the 20th century, we are dealing now with a tandem of Russia and China. It is not Marxism now coming from China, but Stalinist Soviet Fascism…

“Europe now has members of the KGB in some parliaments and there is another facet to the Russian connection. As you know, recruited by the KGB in 1957, Arafat is dead, but we have mini-Arafat–Mahmoud Abbas. The connection with the Kremlin stays the same. He is literally a student of Moscow with Soviet “academic credentials”; his dissertation had denied the Holocaust. Look at Arafat’s corrupt people surrounding Abbas: the same corrupt structure plus Hamas and Hezbollah under Russia’s supervision, ready to wipe Israel off the world map. Don’t expect peace in the Middle East—the KGB is there!” Read my column The Global Spy Ring, January 1, 2018.

We are at the Putin/Biden global war against Western civilization and American Capitalism. Biden’s don’t, don’t, don’t is not a deterrence to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, but a demonstration of weakness. There was no deterrence and Putin occupied Crimea in 2014. The Israel-Hamas war also will be a test for Biden/Democrats. His team knows that Syria is Russia’s proxy: they won’t show the force. They know that all terrorist’s movements including ISIS, bin-Laden and others were supervised by Russia. Biden’s team is Controlled Opposition and will operate from weakness with no adequate response to attacks on the American personnel of the military bases in Syria and Iraq. Read my columns about the KGB’s Mafia/Army war waged in the Middle East, in 1979 to see a total Russian supervision of the region. Saddam Hussein was Russia’s proxy at the time. Syria is a good example to show that Russian supervision, read: The Failing Intelligence and the Russian Connection, November 12, 2023. Read about Syria to grasp War Crimes committed by Russia for decades.

The Republicans missed a chunk of Russian history, allowing the Dem collusion with Russian Intel. We have the result in 2023. Now the FBI/Biden/Putin conspiracy I have been writing about for the last forty years, exposed by Musk.

Read: The censorship and crises on the border is the result of Biden/Putin collusion.

Read: Unmasking the Underground Enemy: Russia

Yes, Biden’s team has shown its real face by betraying Israel and calling for a cease-fire. Some Republicans are helping Biden’s team to fool you, talking about Marxism as our main enemy. There was a discussion between three respected men: Thomas Sowell, Mark Levin, and Victor Davis Hanson on Fox News, November 25, 2023. They were discussing Biden’s government run by the Radical Left. I was amazed, watching three of the most intelligent men in America, talking about Marxism today. Stunning by listening to them, I was still waiting for the truth. Alas, they didn’t know the truth, they didn’t know Stalinism and his ideology of Soviet Socialism, which I called Soviet fascism. None of them has mentioned Russia or a master of A Global Spy Ring, Globalist Putin. In fact, they diverted people’s attention from the actual culprit—the Russian KGB’s Mafia/Army—the Evil Doer, described by me for the last forty-two years… Today, I have to give France a token for the truth.

In a France24 article France issues arrest warrant for Bashar al-Assad Rampart Stonebridge reports,

In a groundbreaking legal move, France has issued an international arrest warrant for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, charging him with complicity in crimes against humanity.

“This action stems from the horrific chemical attacks in Syria in 2013, which claimed the lives of over 1,400 individuals near Damascus. The warrant implicates Assad directly in the 2013 chemical attacks, marking a significant step in international efforts to address war crimes.”

France is talking about the War Crimes of the new “Axis of Evil” under the Russian umbrella. Bashir al-Assad’s Syria is the proxy, a member of “Axis of Evil” under the Russian umbrella, described by me during the last forty-two years… “The 2013 chemical attacks, a dark chapter in Syria’s history, resulted in international outrage and condemnation. In August of that year, videos surfaced, showing the harrowing effects of the attack on civilians, including numerous fatalities. These videos were pivotal in drawing global attention to the severity of the situation.”

Knowing Soviet Fascism, I have no doubts—the chemicals for attacking the population in Syria has been provided to Bashar al-Assad by Russia, the War Crimes are on going.

My fellow Americans!

Communist California Facing the Consequences of Free Market Interference

/in , , , , , , /by

The Communist government of California has interfered beyond its constitutional authority, commencing its destruction of the free market supply and demand of wages verses workers.

The California government legislative branch has created an intrusive role in determining minimum wages in this once free market and this interference is now going to destroy jobs.

Remember, that wages and hiring are determined by the combined interaction of businesses as buyers and workers as suppliers. Not the government !

Let’s take the two large Pizza Hut operators in California as an example.

In response to the “forced” new state law increasing the minimum wage to $20 an hour, Pizza Hut is terminating the employment of all their delivery drivers.

The total job losses will exceed 1,200 in-house delivery drivers in 5 California counties including Los Angeles. Plus 800 plus in other locations.

Looks like the Hollywood movie set workers will now have to leave the studios for their pizza fix if they can afford the gas at $9 a gallon. Approximately $6 of this is state and federal taxes. What we call “government theft” here in Florida.

The delivery driver employees will be terminated starting in February 2024. The new minimum wage law takes effect in April 2024.

Also the Communist government of California requires that capitalist job creating entrepreneurs to notify employees 60 calendar days before mass layoffs, even though the California legislative branch of government interfered in the free markets causing this impending mass lay off.

Reference California’s “The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act” (WARN) This sounds like a directive order written by a Communist sitting in a cubicle in Beijing.

Seriously, what retraining is required for a delivery driver job that is actually a perfect evening or weekend route for college kids and high school students ? It’s very not a job to raise a family.

California Assembly Bill 1228 forced the minimum wage increase to $20 an hour from $16 an hour and the free market response from capitalists was a massive lay off of employees.

Remember, the significant rising cost of living in California is directly proportional to the massive government intrusion on free market conditions.

Fast food restaurants will either close down operations in California or significantly increase the price of their products to pay the new minimum wage increase.

Then, the citizens will choose whether or not to pay $30 – $40 for a double cheeseburger and a bag of soggy fries.

California is ran by a Communist dictatorship and it is setting the example on how NOT to govern a state in a free market capitalist constitutional republic.

Here’s How The Biden Admin Treated Countries Who Kicked Candidates Off The Ballot

/in , , , , , , , /by

The Biden administration has enacted or threatened sanctions against foreign nations who have kicked opposition candidates off the ballot, leading some lawmakers to question the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling this week to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 election ballot.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision on Tuesday to remove Trump from the state 2024 election ballots, having decided he is disqualified to run for office under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban,” despite the former president not being criminally convicted of such an offense. The Biden administration has previously used sanctions in retaliation against foreign nations who engaged in stifling political competition and removing opponents from election ballots, as several lawmakers have pointed out this week.

“The U.S. has put sanctions on other countries for doing exactly what the Colorado Supreme Court has done today,” Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said on Tuesday.

“We’d threaten sanctions against countries that had their courts exclude a challenger to protect the incumbent,” Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee said Tuesday.

Venezuela, a socialist dictatorship in Central America, was sanctioned by the former Trump administration for undemocratic practices. The Biden administration started to lift some of those sanctions in October if Venezuela agreeing to certain conditions, including a commitment to holding fair elections in 2024 and allowing dictator Nicolas Maduro’s political opponents to appear on the ballot.

“Failure to abide by the terms of the agreement will lead the United States to reconsider steps we have taken, including the easing of sanctions,” Biden’s State Department told the DCNF in November.

However, less than a month after agreeing to the Biden administration’s terms, Venezuelan courts suspended the results of his political opposition leader’s primary election victory results. The suspension was handed down by Venezuela’s top court, which ruled that the opposition leader must be investigated for alleged identity theft, money laundering and conspiracy.

The Biden administration continues to push Venezuela toward holding free elections next year. The administration maintains its warning that it will take measures, including reimposing sanctions, if Maduro’s government does not hold to its word.

However, no sanctions have thus far been reimposed.

Nicaragua, a nation under dictatorship in Central America, had its government hit with sanctions from the Biden administration in 2021, according to the Treasury Department. The Biden administration explained they were imposing sanctions against Nicaragua because of its 2021 “sham election,” as the country’s government removed most of incumbent President Daniel Ortega‘s political opponents from the ballot.

Only five of Ortega’s political opponents were on the ballot in 2021, all of whom were not well known and had little chance of winning, according to CNN. Seven of Ortega’s other political opponents were not allowed to appear on the ballot after being “unjustly arrested” prior to elections, ensuring a “rigged outcome well before election day,” according to the Treasury Department and USA Today.

The Biden administration pointed to the government’s “groundless” misuse of Nicaragua’s Law 1055, which bans anyone deemed as a “traitor” by the country’s government from running for public office.

“The Ortega regime is using laws and institutions to detain members of the political opposition and deprive Nicaraguans from the right to vote,” Office of Foreign Assets Control Director Andrea M. Gacki said in a November 2021 statement. “We stand with the Nicaraguan people in their calls for reform and a return to democracy.”

Belarus, a country in eastern Europe with close ties to Russia, was hit with sanctions by the former Trump administration in 2020 over concerns the country held “fraudulent” elections that year by barring political opponents from the ballot and falsifying voting records, according to the Treasury Department. The Biden administration upheld these sanctions and castigated Belarus in a June 2021 statement for holding illegitimate elections by preventing “multiple opposition candidates from appearing on the ballot and restrictions on the ability of the opposition to campaign,” according to the Treasury.

“The United States and its partners will not tolerate continued attacks on democracy and the ceaseless repression of independent voices in Belarus,” Gacki said in a June 2021 statement. “Today’s actions, taken on both sides of the Atlantic, hold accountable those who continue to suppress the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people.”

Several lawmakers and legal experts have denounced the Colorado Supreme Court’s Tuesday ruling as unconstitutional. The Trump campaign immediately disputed the court’s ruling and said it would quickly move to appeal.

Though he wouldn’t comment on the Colorado Supreme Court’s Tuesday ruling, Biden did tell reporters on Wednesday that there’s “no question” Trump incited an insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Well, I think certain things are self-evident. You saw it all,” Biden said Wednesday. “Now, whether the 14th Amendment applies, I’ll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. No question about it. None. Zero.”

The White House did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

This Gov’t Program May Be Next On The Chopping Block In The Aftermath Of Landmark SCOTUS Affirmative Action Ruling

/in , , , , , , , /by

The Biden administration’s Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) is currently facing a legal challenge for giving assistance to Americans based on race, and it may suffer the same fate at the Supreme Court as colleges and universities did earlier this year in the court’s affirmative action ruling.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) filed the suit in March in a federal court in the Northern District of Texas, representing three different clients from Texas, Wisconsin and Florida, according to an announcement from WILL. The suit alleges that the MBDA, which helps minority-run businesses apply for federal grants and get other forms of capital, violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution by giving some races preferential treatment and will likely win in court, following similar rulings like the Supreme Court’s decision in June to end the practice of race-based admissions at both public and private higher education institutions in a pair of cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina, according to experts who spoke to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The agency was enshrined into law in 2021 through the Minority Business Development Act (MBDA) under the Biden administration but has been around since 1969 through an executive order issued by former President Richard Nixon, according to the Washington Post. Judge Mark T. Pittman, appointed by former President Donald Trump, is overseeing the case and has already issued an injunction, noting that the case is likely to succeed.

The final ruling from Pittman is expected to determine the constitutionality of the MBDA and whether the agency will be blocked from using racial categories to determine eligibility and the use of the word “minority” in its name, according to The Washington Post.

“The Minority Business Development Agency, its Business Center Program, and their differential treatment of Americans based on race are extremely vulnerable in WILL’s ongoing litigation,” Dan Morenoff, lawyer and executive director at the American Civil Rights Project, told the DCNF. “I expect that the Court will rule them unconstitutional when it issues a final opinion. The agency and its program expressly classify Americans by race and treat them differently based on that classification. At least eight of the nine justices of the Supreme Court have held that the Constitution bars the federal government from discriminating to exactly the same extent, and under the same analysis, that the equal protection clause bars the states from discriminating.”

The MBDA reports that it helped minority businesses receive $1.6 trillion in contracts in 2022, with $319 billion coming from the federal government, $860 billion from the private sector, $75 billion from state governments and $306 billion from local governments, according to the agency’s 2022 performance summary. Black Americans received the most in contracts, with $680 billion going to the group, followed by Hispanic Americans receiving $526 billion, Native Americans receiving $243 billion and Asian Americans receiving $138 billion.

“I fully expect the District Court to maintain in its final ruling the substance of its ruling on the preliminary injunction motion, that the program unconstitutionally ‘provides services to certain races and ethnicities but not to others,’” William Jacobson, a law professor at Cornell and president of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, told the DCNF. “The District Court rendered the preliminary injunction about three weeks before the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions ruling on affirmative action. That Supreme Court ruling buttresses the District Court’s ruling on the scope of the Equal Protection Clause, so I would not expect the District Court to back off its preliminary ruling.”

The agency also touts creating 7,904 jobs and retaining another 7,514 jobs in 2022 for minorities, according to the report. Minority companies in the construction sector reaped 43% of the monetary benefits, followed by the services sector and the finance and insurance sector at 19% and 12%, respectively.

“Either this case or one of the many parallel cases contesting intentional discrimination by the Biden administration will eventually make it to the Supreme Court,” Morenoff told the DCNF. “Those cases (and I’m not speaking comprehensively) have already seen lower courts ban racial discrimination in the distribution of: COVID-aide to farms, loans to small businesses, and — here — a myriad of business coaching supports. Each of these cases reiterates the legal point that the federal government cannot pick winners and losers based on race.”

Following the Supreme Court’s decision to end race-based admissions in higher education, conservatives have set their targets on companies’ use of racial preferences and quotas, with a group of Republican attorneys general sending letters to dozens of employers warning them that they were violating the law in August.

A federal court in 2021 put a hold on a similar program that would have provided $4 billion in debt relief to minority farmers but was later forced to be reworked to include white farmers, according to NBC News. Another case in 2021 stopped the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which aimed to give $28.6 billion in aid to restaurants, from prioritizing applicants based on race and gender, according to The New York Times.

“America must continue to advance towards a colorblind society where every person is judged on their merit and not the color of their skin,” Dan Lennington, deputy counsel at WILL, said in the announcement. “The Biden Administration’s choice to create this race-based agency is a step back for civil rights, and we aim to correct that misstep.”

The Department of Justice and the MBDA did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

In shocking discovery, remains of Israeli victim thought to have been abducted found in grave of stranger

/in , , , , , /by

The confusion arose when the remains of two women, charred beyond recognition, were mistaken for a single body.

The remains of a woman believed to have been abducted by the Hamas terror group on October 7 were found in the interred grave of another woman after a piece of her jewelry was discovered weeks later.

The tragedy of Shani Gabay, a victim of the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, unfolded in a sequence of painful revelations and errors. Gabay was among the attendees at the Supernova rave when Hamas terrorists stormed in, unleashing a massacre that claimed over 350 lives at the scene and approximately 1,200 across southern Israel. Gabay was later thought to have been abducted to Gaza along with more than 240 others.

As rockets rained down, 25-year-old Gabay, who had recently graduated Tel Aviv University’s school of law, pulled over in her car near Kibbutz Alumim, close to the festival site, seeking refuge in a field shelter. Unknown to her, the terrorists were already attacking the partygoers. Despite being shot, Gabay managed to flee the shelter, finding temporary safety in an ambulance with other survivors. However, their respite was short-lived as the ambulance was targeted by a rocket-propelled grenade, resulting in the death of all occupants.

For weeks, the Gabay family lived under the harrowing impression that Shani had been kidnapped and was being held captive in Gaza because authorities were unable to locate any trace of her. This belief persisted until a chance discovery of her charred necklace shaped like a half-moon, buried in the debris of the Supernova festival, changed everything.

“We concluded that Shani was missing, there was no sign of life from her, and as the days passed and she wasn’t found among the bodies, we began to believe that she had been kidnapped,” Shani’s brother Aviel, told the Ynet news site. “We became involved in the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, we held meetings in Israel and around the world… we believed that Shani was taken hostage and wondered what she was going through in captivity.”

Her necklace, which was unearthed on the 47th day of her assumed captivity, bore a high concentration of Gabay’s DNA, a clue that finally led to the unraveling of her fate. The police, upon examining the necklace further, also found a lower concentration of another woman’s DNA. This led to the exhumation of the other woman’s grave, where a CT scan revealed two skulls. “A dentist then examined the two skulls and clearly identified teeth belonging to Shani,” Aviel explained.

The authorities “admitted they had made a big mistake and that they had buried Shani on the first week of the war together with another young woman,” Aviel Gabay revealed. The confusion arose when the remains of the two women, found together in the burned-out ambulance and charred beyond recognition, were mistaken for a single body.

Shani Gabay was finally laid to rest just days before what would have been her 26th birthday in a ceremony attended by mourners in the northern Israeli town of Yokne’am.

Massive increase in number of French Jews immigrating to Israel

/in , , , , , , , /by

A hefty increase in the number of prospective Jewish immigrants from France to Israel has been recorded over the last week, the Jewish Agency for Israel reported on Monday.

Following a series of fairs last week in Paris, Marseille and Lyon promoting Aliyah — “immigration” — to Israel, the agency, which has historically been in charge of the absorption process, revealed that the number of applications had risen by 450 percent in the weeks since the Oct. 7 pogrom carried out by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel.

The total number of immigrants heading to Israel from France is 1,200, compared with 220 at the same point last year. Additionally, 1,300 families participated in information evenings organized by the Jewish Agency across the country.

“In these difficult days, French Jews continue to express their unconditional love for the State of Israel,” Doron Almog — the president of the Jewish Agency — said in a statement. “It is our right and our duty to welcome the olim (‘immigrants’) with open arms and support them in the realization of their dream to settle in Israel.”

The Israeli Minister of Aliyah and Integration, Ofir Sofer, said after attending the Jewish Agency fair in Paris that he had been “very happy to meet future olim who made the decision to immigrate to Israel immediately after Oct. 7 while the country is at war.”

Sofer remarked that “their main motivation for immigrating lies in their feelings of solidarity and identification with Israel. Jewish communities around the world, and in France in particular, are facing a significant increase in antisemitic acts. We stand by them and will contribute even more to the integration of the new olim. The State of Israel remains the homeland of the Jewish people.”

Nearly 70,000 Jews out of a community of approximately 500,000 have made aliyah from France to Israel since 2000, amid a steady rise in antisemitic acts and invective.

Pro-Hamas demonstrators attempted to disrupt the Jewish Agency fair in Marseille last Monday. Police arrested six individuals after blows were exchanged at the entrance to the fair. More than 1,500 antisemitic acts have been reported in France since the Oct. 7 Hamas atrocities.
