The Israeli critique of the US president which spurned an ICC indictment  

@DanLinnaeus tweeted the following:

In his speech to the Knesset on Monday, November 18, Netanyahu called out Biden’s advice throughout the war for being “repeatedly off the mark.” By Thursday, three days after the Israeli Prime Minister publicly criticized the U.S. President, the ICC issued arrest warrants for the prime minister and his former defense minister following months of delays from the international court due to U.S. pressure.

What Kennedy Must Do to Defeat Regulatory Capture  

Peloni:  Here is a very important analysis of what must be done to permanently defeat Regulatory Capture.  Many are looking to RFK to achieve this feat.  The question is whether his ultimate aims are support reform of Regulatory Capture or to eliminate it utterly, with the distinction being far more important than is commonly understood and which is discussed by Shaffer in the article below.  Recall that RFK is an old time liberal.  This philosophy usually seeks govt solutions for every problem, and when govt solutions fail to be useful, they usually attribute it to being due to poor management of govt policy.  So is this the ultimate end of RFK’s reforms, to deliver better management of Regulatory Capture as explicitly, or is it to end Regulatory Capture altogether (again, as explained below)?  Time will tell.

President-Elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services is cause for celebration for anyone who cares about the pharmaceutical industry’s influence over regulatory agencies, and the deleterious effect it has had on the health of Americans.

It is nearly impossible to express just how remarkable and potentially world-changing this is. Only a few years ago, it would have been beyond the imagination of any serious political commentator. Those of us who believe in the freedom of medical choice – and especially those who have been personally harmed by the industry – have every reason to be ecstatic.

We are winning…Get over it!  

Barbara Diamond | November 22, 2024

When Israel was attacked on October 7, 2023 by 3,000 Gazans who gleefully murdered our innocent men, women and children in heinous fashion… only part of the world was in shock. The balance, were in denial, and many still remain as such.

Israel’s new defense minister, Israel Katz, instructed the Israeli security system to stop the use of administrative detention against Jewish settlers and to look for alternative law enforcement methods, ending a years-long practice.

Is The Deep State Pushing Nuclear War To Prevent A Trump Presidency?  

By Jerome R. Corsi | Am Thinker | November 21

Image by AI.

On November 18, 2024, Politico reported that London and Paris had given Ukraine their Storm Shadow/SCALP long-range missiles to Ukraine. As of this writing (Wednesday, November 20, 2024), Reuters reported that Ukraine fired a volley of up to twelve Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles into Russia’s Kursk region, a day after Ukraine fired six U.S.-manufactured ATACMS missiles into Russia’s Bryansk region.

Victory over jihad  

When one side is fighting a religious war and the other is not, then the one fighting the religious war will never lose, and will continue fighting, or at least resume fighting later, and will not stop until finally victorious. This can go on for generations.

ANJULI PANDAVAR

With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wartime leadership having gone into high gear, one can expect talk of a peace deal with Hezbollah to more likely be a ruse for running out the clock on the dreadful Biden administration. Such talk, it turns out, is also bringing into the open just how solidly the Israeli public stands behind Mr Netanyahu in his prosecution of the war. As things stand, the only mistake Netanyahu can make is to fall behind the Israeli public.

Fake News in the 21st Century: The egregious, unethical sin of omission  

“The omission is the most powerful form of lie, and it is the duty of the historian to ensure that those lies do not creep into the history books.” —George Orwell,author of 1984. They sure have.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) executed several waves of airstrikes on Hezbollah sites in Beirut on November 20. The strikes occurred as Israeli forces progressed with several new limited ground operations near the border. In addition, Hezbollah’s new leader, Naim Qassem, vowed to respond to Israel for the killing of Hezbollah spokesperson Mohammad Afif on November 18.

President Trump Nominates Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General – The Deep Swamp Smiles  

Sundance | November 21,2024

The nomination of former Florida AG Pam Bondi for the position of U.S. Attorney General is a big mistake; not for the corrupt background of Bondi that we presume President Trump is not aware of, but rather for the background of Pam Bondi the Deep Swamp is almost certainly aware of.

Within the background story of state AG corruption and unlawful activity, Pam Bondi is very easily leveraged, blackmailed and controlled.

Netanyahu Warns Hamas, Offers Incentives for Hostage Release  

Peloni:  The hard reality is that while we all want the hostages home, this tactic to secure their release secures the value of targeting Israelis in further kidnapping.  As October 7 was an outcropping of the disastrous Shalit deal, this multimillion dollar gambit will have its own consequences.

Israeli leader promises relentless pursuit of captors while proposing safe passage and rewards for those aiding hostages’ return.

Israfan | November 20, 2024

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a stern warning to Hamas on Tuesday during a visit to the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic area dividing Gaza’s northern and southern regions. Netanyahu pledged relentless action against those harming Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip while offering significant incentives for their release.

Bibi Responds to ICC Charges  

Peloni:  This twisted reversal of justice only persists with the cooperation and complicity of the current US govt.  The actions of the ICC could have and should have been shut down when this aberration of justice first began to unfurl its madness in support of the perpetrators of the October 7 onslaught.  Having done nothing to stop these proceedings, then or now, demonstrates not the helplessness of the White House, but rather its full consent in extending tactics of Lawfare to demonize, penalize, and jeapardize the state of Israel.  They do so even while they continue to send funds to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.

Potential Election Fallout and What’s Coming  

Morning Intelligence Report

MG Paul E Vallely, US Army (Ret)

Guest Editorial: George Mcclellan | November 17, 2024

As conservatives recover from the unabashed but rare joy of victory, no thanks to the GOP, and review the shattered remains of the Progressive Democrat Party scattered to the wind, we are reminded that even now, while leaderless, the radical Left is doubling down in their schemes to deny Trump his role as Americas next President. How? Trump did win, didn’t he? First, be aware that these types of claims coming so recently after the Democrat debacle that was the November election are simply a scheme to raise funds based on our fears. I do not say it’s terrible; it is just a logical move to refill their coffers. Both parties are making many such claims.

Does Hezbollah see itself as being on the ropes?  

Seth Frantzman tweeted the following

Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem has said that Israel “attacked the heart of Beirut to assassinate the Resistance group’s media chief, Mohammad Afif, and now must await a counter-response in the heart of Tel Aviv.” This is interesting, because Hezbollah already targeted Tel Aviv in the wake of the killing of Afif.

The statement is a reminder of how Hezbollah ran this war prior to Israel’s Operation Northern Arrows; Hezbollah would always say there was an equation. Basically “if Israel does X then we do Y.” One would have thought this changed with Israel’s operation, because Israel expanded the attacks so much.

“History will remember this vote… – who stood with the hostages… and who stood against them.”  

Peloni:  The UN remains an apologetically antisemitic organization, fixated upon the tiny Jewish State as if it were the very source of terror and barbarity which it fights against on a daily basis.  The UN’s ignominy of abandoning the Israeli hostages to a state of enslavement  to the terror dens of Gaza without any expression or possibility of their return clearly demonstrates the malicious character of this entirely evil institution.  Israel must continue to pressure those holding the hostages by persisting with the war, and thereby create the possibility of actually bring these helpless innocents home.
