Financial Minister Smotrich urges expanded Jewish settlements in Judea & Samaria and a return to Gaza  

Peloni: Smotrich is quite correct to both urge the expansion of Jewish settlements in J&S as well as in Gaza, while also promoting the incentivized voluntary emigration of citizens of Gaza.  Gaza must no longer be kept as the Judenrein fantasyland which doubles as a UN run terror training ground.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Sunday called for the expansion of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), as well as a return to building Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip.

Smotrich made his comments while speaking at the Middle East Summit [called “Correct Middle East” in Hebrew], hosted by Israel365, an Orthodox Jewish organization focused on raising support for Israel among American Evangelical Christians.

From Israel: The Urgent and Critical Heart of the Matter!!  

Arlene Kushner | October 29, 2024

The US presidential election is almost upon us. Please, read carefully to the end and share extensively – most importantly with voters still on the fence!!

That we are living in dire and deeply unsettling times is a given. But the essence of the crisis is frequently misunderstood.

~~~~~~~~~~

Douglas Murray, British journalist and commentator, did an interview with Ben Shapiro this summer. In the course of the discussion, Murray said that it is understood that Western civilization is founded on the legacy of Athens and of Jerusalem. Athens is under attack, but not existentially. But, he said, Jerusalem – one of the underpinnings of Western culture – is at risk existentially.

These precision strikes have damaged Iran – but will they act as a deterrent?  

Peloni:  Iran can not be deterred.  They may change their tactics, choose alternate targets, or rely exclusively upon their proxies, but Iran’s entire political, religious and military systems, which extend far beyond Iran’s borders, will progress as Frantzman indicates below regardless of what Israel does.  Their raison d’etre is the annihilation of Israel, the Jews, and the West.  Their influence is now all across Europe and even within some of the most sensitive positions within the US govt.  Hence, by pursuing an agenda of deterring Iran, it should be understood that it is not been Iran who has not been  deterred, but Israel and the West.  This is why October 7 was understood to be a surprise, because Israel and the West accepted their deterrence policy as successful, and of course, in doing so, the deterrence which Iran had secured over Israel and the West gave rise to the notion that the unprovoked Iranian attack around Gaza was in any way a surprise.  The pursuit of deterrence must end, and with it, the toleration for the existential threat which remains undeterred from the regime in Iran which means to see October 7 events visited all across Israel and the West.

Almost certainly it will keep trying to target Israel with proxies

V In April 2018, an airstrike hit the T-4 airbase in Syria. Seven Iranians were killed and local media blamed the attack on Israel. At the time, the strike seemed to be quickly forgotten, one of many attacks that Israel was alleged to have carried out in Syria to prevent Iranian arms smuggling to Hezbollah and its further entrenchment in Syria. However, in retrospect the strike takes on more importance.

Rabbi Herzog: November is the month of great wonders.  

Rabbi Jacob Herzog

November is the month of great wonders.

A new conspiracy against His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman will fail miserably. Behind it stands an evil current in America that follows a certain faction and not the American government.

The conspiracy against His Highness Mohammed bin Salman unfortunately involves a Gulf emirate. Bribes worth billions of dollars were paid to some weak souls.

Al-Yamamah Palace is steadfast and stable and has no loopholes. The money of the dreamy pretender will go down the drain and the Saudi rule is as firm as a generation.

Reporter is either lying or ignorant about a Palestinian state  

Both explanations for his misleading words in “The New York Times” remain deeply disturbing.

Steven Erlanger has been writing about Israel for The New York Times for nearly 30 years. How can it be that he still doesn’t know what the Oslo Accords say?

Even before he was hired by the Times, Erlanger was writing about the Middle East for The Boston Globe in the 1980s. In early 1996—a little more than two years after the signing of Oslo I on the White House lawn—he became the Times’ chief diplomatic correspondent in Washington, and wrote plenty about America’s Middle East policy.

Terrorism, Genocide and Kamala’s Childhood in Africa  

The untold story of Kamala’s grandfather and her childhood in Africa

By Daniel Greenfield | October 22, 2024

On the last leg of her African tour, Vice President Kamala Harris paid a visit to an otherwise unremarkable office building in Zambia. Her staff and local embassy personnel had spent a great deal of time looking for it and everyone was hoping it was the right place.

Kamala, with her Jamaican and Indian roots, needed a tangible connection to Africa to win over African-American voters and convince them that she was one of them. And everyone settled on the office building as being the next best thing because it was the former spot of the building where she had once stayed as a little girl with her Indian mother on a visit to her grandfather.

America Wants Israel to Be Able to Defend Itself, But Not to Win  

Peloni:  We should remember that every drone, missile or incursion which takes place in this war is organized by the proxies of Iran and as such, it is Iran who is responsible for these ongoing attacks against Israel.  Until the consequences of these ongoing daily assaults being made against Iraeal are visited upon Iran directly, there is no real consequence for Iran.   While it is obviously important that Israel responded to the massive balistic missile launch against it, it remains regretful that Israel’s responses for assaults emanating from Lebanon and Yemen do not include targets within Iran itself.

By

Ever since Henry Kissinger put pressure on Israel’s government during the Yom Kippur War to prevent Ariel Sharon from destroying Egypt’s Third Army that Sharon’s troops had surrounded, the American policy has been to support Israel’s defense but not to let it win overwhelmingly. More on this policy can be found here: “US policy for 50 years: Israel is not allowed to win any wars,” Elder of Ziyon, October 27, 2024:

From the National Security Agency archives:

During the Arab-Israeli War in October 1973, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had frequent discussions with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. During a conversation on 18 October 1973, after he agreed that the military situation was stable, even stalemated, Kissinger declared that “my nightmare is a victory for either side.” Dobrynin observed: “it is not only your nightmare.”

Death of the American  

“I never knew I was a slave until I found out I couldn’t do what I wanted.”
Frederick Douglas, slave

By: Theodore Wilson | October 27, 2024

“I’ll conquer ye; or I’ll kill ye! One or t’other—I’ll count every drop of blood in ye, and take ‘em, one by one, till ye give up!” The cruel Simon Legree shook his fist in the face of his slave and demanded obedience. (Uncle Tom’s Cabin)

The power of nihilist rulers requires the exercise of censorship to discipline and regiment the masses. They will make you or break you.

Today, an estimated 1 million to 1.8 million Chinese people are being detained or permanently held inside Chinese prisons because of religion or if they spoke out against the policies of the CCP. Many of them are lawyers who defended a citizen.

Free speech derives as a product of free thought. Like the plantation owners during the antebellum period, communists, fascists, and liberals vehemently oppose freedom of speech. Why? To maintain control of the people, they must prohibit, suppress, or alter any action or speech that communicates something considered objectional, harmful, and sensitive to those who own and control the Communist Party in China.

Gallant to be replaced? DM sends letter to PM Netanyahu saying war lacks clear goals, is attacked by coalition partners  

Peloni: The most imporatant quality which must mark the govt of a nation at war is the aspect of unity. Of course, Gallant has been working to undermine the govt well before October 7. He has been working with the US to limit Israel’s pursuit of victory while demonstrating a significant division within the govt regarding the proposed ceasefire and hostage deals. Both the govt and the nation will benefit from his replacement.

‘Replacing Gallant will be possible after Iran strike,’ Netanyahu reportedly tells ultra-Orthodox coalition members

Shortly before Israel’s early-morning attack on Iran on Saturday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several cabinet ministers, stating that “the war is being waged without a compass” and urging an update to Israel’s war objectives, Channel 13 News reported Sunday evening.

What Makes 2024’s Election So Unique?  

Because it Won’t Be!

MG Paul E Vallely 

Morning Intelligence Report

by George Mcclellan | Oct 28, 2024

October 28, 2024

Guest Editorial:

The result of the 2024 election, soon to be upon us, should signal the end of the Democrat Party, reassert an attempt to return to common sense Americanism based upon the Constitutional rule of law, and restore confidence in our government. Regardless, America will be left politically shattered and irrevocably divided. The Democrat Party, in its death throes, will become violent; it will lash out at its MAGA enemies, Trump, Christians, and middle-class citizens alike, leaving the smoldering ruins of a once united America taking decades to cool down. By then, it will be too late! China, Russia, and Islamic Jihadists are promoting all this.

The Democrat Party’s demise will be no loss because today’s Party is a version of an older, similar exercise in top-down political, economic, and social control exercised by the National Socialist German (Deutsch) Workers Party (NSDAP) in the 1930s. It died quickly but violently. Today, instead of “Workers,” our Democrat Party embraces “Victims,” and they can’t have victims without having an evil force to struggle against, so they have targeted White Christian middle-class conservatives as anti-Democratic, domestic terrorists and enemies of the State, exactly what they claim Trump will do if he wins.

RNC Running A 1980s Campaign – The Left Is Not  

Peloni:  If the election can not be secured demonstrating the consent of the governed governs the US, it will fall to clearly documenting that complicity in fraud governs the US.  This will consequently leave the matter before the dubious independence of the courts…and then finally to the American people themselves.  Notably, the world sits atop a powder keg in which the deciding input will be this latter group.  Hence when it becomes established that the US elections have once again been Selected against the will of the the American people, their continued captured status will be in plain view for all to see…and then a very propitious yet dangerous decision will be made by the American people themselves.

In 2024 the election will be decided by legal ballots to legal people at legal addresses – which are undeliverable. Those ballots are collected by the Postal Service and NGOs and voted for Leftists.

There is a price for attacking Israel  

There is a tried and true method for stopping the supposedly expansionist Israelis right in their tracks. Stop bombing them.

By  Walter E. Block | October 28, 2024

From near and far, the call is going out: Watch out for aggressive, imperialist, colonist Israel. It is trying to take over the world, bit by bit, starting with an expansion in the Middle East. (I exaggerate here, but only by a little bit). They have already taken over Gaza, the Golan Heights, and the West Bank. Now, the Jewish State is in the process of absorbing southern Lebanon, and, who knows, by the time they get finished, with all of that country to the north of them. Which country is next? Who knows. You can’t tell with this steamroller of a country.

Israel’s attack on Iran – force and dollar multiplier for the USA  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | October 28, 2024

*The October 26, 2024 Israeli Air Force 1,000-mile-offensive against Iran – which was one of the more complex air force offensives since WW2 – highlighted Israel as a unique triple A store and battle-tested innovation center for the US defense and aerospace industries, underscoring the superiority of the US-made F-35, F-16 and F-15 in the global market.

*The capabilities of the US combat aircrafts have been demonstrated by the Israeli Air Force, which – more than any other air force – operates in a high intensity manner (over Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran) and acts daily in a do-or-die and can-do state of mind, which mandates more innovation and risk-taking, stretching the capabilities of the US-made combat aircraft to new heights. The keen interest by the US Air Force to hold a multitude of joint maneuvers with Israel’s Air Force attests to the added-value derived by the interaction with – and feedback from – the uniquely experienced Israeli combat pilots.

Analysis: Iran reacts to Israel’s direct retaliation  

By Ben Taleblu | October 28, 2024

The headline above the fold in Iran’s Jaam-e-Jam newspaper, “Iran’s Iron Defense,” typifies the Islamic Republic’s early attempts to downplay Israel’s recent strike against Iranian air defense and military installations.

Once again, in 2024, history was made in the Middle East.

On October 25, Israel took credit for a long-expected military retaliation against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The attack reportedly involved over 100 planes striking 20 targets in three separate waves. In so doing, it constituted the first-ever direct and overt Israeli strike against Iranian military sites. (Note: Israel had not publicized or claimed an earlier attack against an Iranian radar installation on April 19, which was in response to Iran’s first drone and missile salvo at Israel earlier that month).

Summary of ISW Comprehesive Review on Israeli-Lebanon campaign  

Raylan Givens tweeted the following:

MUST READ: HEZBOLLAH’S COLLAPSE IN SOUTHERN LEBANON – The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) released a comprehensive study today about Hezbollah’s string of military failures against the IDF in Southern Lebanon. Here are some of the key takeaways:

The summary upfront is that Hezbollah is trying to hide the reality that its military forces in Southern Lebanon are disorganized, incoherent, and not conducting an effective campaign against IDF forces. ISW alleges that Hezbollah’s military forces have been “badly damaged and disrupted” by the IDF and that Israel has so far “successfully destroyed and disrupted many of the capabilities required for Hezbollah to threaten northern Israel.”

If you want to know about governments, all you need to know is two words: Governments lie. I.F.Stone, investigative journalist.

Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression.  James Madison

CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, which had 658 employees murdered on 9/11, says ‘we must crush jihad’  

Peloni:  The title of Matt Margolis’ review of Trump’s rally says it all:  Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever.  Facts are stubborn things, even as rhetoric is being leveraged to manufacture false impressions based on fake news and false narratives.

By

Howard Lutnick said this at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, which the establishment media has been cravenly smearing as a fascist or Nazi rally since there was a Nazi rally there in 1939 — as if no one has held a rally at Madison Square Garden since then.

Lutnick’s call to “crush jihad” is perfectly understandable, not just in light of the devastation of Cantor Fitzgerald on 9/11, but in light of ongoing jihad activity in the U.S. and worldwide. In response, however, the far-left New Republic gave space to a Muslim writer who claims that his statement was “bigoted,” because jihad is an “internal or external struggle to do good deeds.”

Samantha Power Fails in U.S Effort to Create Color Revolution in Georgia – Team USA Vow to Challenge Election Results  

Peloni:  This is a very important development.  As the Tanks to Tweets tactics of the US State Dept have now “struck out in Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico, Israel and now Georgia” it will be interesting to see how the Deep State responds going forward.  Will there be a retrograde shift back to tank tactics since the tweets are continuing to fail to successfully promote American interests over the domestic will of relevant nations?

Sundance | October 28, 2024

The nation of Georgia has learned from watching what the USA did in Ukraine; they want no part of it. The “Georgia Dream” party is essentially the Georgia equivalent of the U.S. MAGA party. Pragmatic, clear-eyed, nationalist-minded voters who do not want the CIA arm of USAID meddling in their affairs.

The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them. Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party. They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament.
