Muslim CIA Official Charged With ‘Leak’ of Israeli Attack Plans on Iran  

Why did he have access to classified information?

by Daniel Greenfield | November 14, 2014

The Biden-Harris administration had been spying on Israel’s plans to respond to Iran’s attacks. Details of that surveillance and analysis appeared online and was spread by Iranian accounts.

Asif W. Rahman, a CIA official with top-secret clearance, has now been charged over the crime.

‘Never again?’ No  

Peloni:  Who indeed will fight for our civilization as the barbarian hordes stand inside the wire?  I would suggest that the fight which has thus far been abandoned was begun with the recent American rejection of the pro-Iranian Harris campaign to replace the pro-Iran Biden administration.  Indeed, the Trump administration will stand the test of how successful American influence might stem this rising antisemitic tide, but to be honest, I think it is fair to suggest that it should be substantial.  Recall that it was the advancement of Jew-Hatred among the masses by the Dems and their pro-Iran allies which have both funded and permitted this plague to run amok without the slightest consequence being visited upon the perpetrators.  We should expect this to be reversed in the extreme following Trump’s inauguration.

Democratic, Western governments have become cowardly and unwilling to defend the liberal principles they promote on paper.

Shoshana Bryen • JPA • November 12, 2024

While hordes of politicians, celebrities, “influencers” and “wannabes” somberly intone “Never Again,” 86 years after Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass” that ushered in the Holocaust, cowardice reigns in the West.

“Never again” is a pledge of Jewish defiance and Israel its embodiment. From the physical borders of the state and from Entebbe to Amsterdam, wherever Jews are threatened, Israel has taken on the role of defender of the Jewish people. If one is an optimist, “Never again” was also a way for the European community to verbalize that it understood the magnitude of its crimes in World War II. Repeating the mantra, Europe pledged it would never let it happen again, and its allies—primarily, the United States, Canada, Australia and others—were partners in that pledge.

Trump’s next move on the election’s biggest loser  

Tehran is reeling from the hammer blows Israel has delivered’

Mark Dubowitz & Andrea Stricker | FDD | November 13, 2024

The biggest loser on election night was the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. The Tehran regime has spent years plotting Donald Trump’s assassination, only to see him return to the Oval Office with greater popular support than ever.

Trump knows that he had Khamenei on the ropes when his first term ended. “Iran was broke under Donald Trump,” the 45th president said in the lone presidential debate this fall. In addition, a drone strike eliminated Iranian terror chief Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.

Now it is time for Trump to bring back his policy of maximum pressure, which shook the regime to its core. And Trump should add a second pillar to his strategy: maximum support for the Iranian people, who still thirst for freedom.

Interview of Tom Renz Exposing Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles Banned from BANNED  

Peloni:  This is an important video which was published last April, but was later removed without explanation.  It describes the blocked attempts by Tom Renz and Dr. McCullough and others to share with Trump the important evidence of dangers with the Covid shots.  Renz pulls no punches in disclosing that the meetings were blocked due to the efforts of Trump’s now appointed Chief of Staff, Suzie Wiles, a role from which she will be able to continue blocking access to Trump as president.  There is a great deal of important information shared by Renz in this video.  Please watch it carefully.

President Trump’s Middle East challenges (Reversible economic sanctions or irreversible regime-change?)  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”
November 12, 2024

I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars,” proclaimed President-elect Trump in his November 6 victory message.

*Bolstering the US’ posture of deterrence is the most critical prerequisite for stopping/minimizing wars and terrorism. The US’ posture of deterrence is reflected by the size and structure of the US’ defense budget, avoiding appeasement of rogue entities, and dwelling on reality (as frustrating as it is) rather than alternate reality.

Rabbi Herzog: “This is what Trump will do with President Sisi”  

Rabbi Jacob Herzog

This is what Trump will do with #President_ElSisi @AlsisiOfficial.

Part two of the tweets:

Trump fundamentally dislikes Sisi because Sisi is officially allied with China’s camp, and it is as though he has put the Suez Canal at China’s disposal. The purchase of lands around the Suez Canal, Ras al-Hikma, and even the attempt to sell the Suez Canal itself are all for China’s benefit and not for the UAE. The UAE only plays the role of a middleman because its own size doesn’t allow it to play a bigger role than that.

IDF ELIMINATES ‘Most-Wanted’ Hezbollah Assassin; Iran TARGETS Israelis Abroad | TBN Israel  

T. Belman. You will recall that Trump told Netanyahu to finish the war against Hamas and Hezbollah before he gets inaugurated. But Israel has done nothing to win these wars because she was under great pressure by the Biden Administrtion to accept settlements in both. I’ts been days since Gallant was fired and nothing, till now.

Pinto reports that the IDF is now going on the offensive against Hezbolllah and that while yeilding to some of Biden’s pressure, a settlement in Gaza is in not in the cards.

In fact Biden has capitulated and said that he won’t withhould arms as he had threatened to do.

I am not concerned with how the UN will react. Remember the US always has a veto.

Fact-checkers are absent when ‘Editor & Publisher’ covers Israel  

Is citing unproven rumors an appropriate professional way of reporting?

Moshe Phillips November 13, 2024

Jenin. Source: Google Maps.

For a magazine that prides itself on journalistic standards, Editor & Publisher seems to throw those standards right out the window when Israel is the subject of their reporting.

A feature story in the October issue of E&P—the leading trade magazine of the U.S. news media industry—described the difficulties faced by some reporters covering the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But the biggest difficulty with the article was its parroting of blatant anti-Israel falsehoods.

A look back at the Holocaust shows the Dutch are acting true to form today  

The Dutch did not save the Jews during the Holocaust, they betrayed them during the war and afterwards. Except for a very few, their actions toward Jews went from active hostility to indifference.

In memory of Dutch Jewish children  Beit Lochamei Hagetaor

We watched in horror as Israelis were viciously attacked in a pogrom in Amsterdam after attending the Maccabi TLV-Ajax soccer match. One is reminded (or should be informed if one does not know) of the Dutch response to the Jews when the Germans invaded the Netherlands on May 10, 1940.

Defense Minister Katz Signals Readiness for Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Program  

Peloni: “decisive action against Iran and other regional threats…”

Israfan | November 12, 2024

In a bold statement Monday night, Israel’s newly appointed Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that the conditions for an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear program are now more favorable than ever. Citing both diplomatic and operational preparedness, Katz emphasized that the opportunity to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions has reached a realistic and achievable point, drawing from Israel’s proven capabilities demonstrated in recent counterattacks against Iranian forces.

Nov 11 attacks against Jews and supporters in Amsterdam continue  

Peloni:  The Arabs ethnically cleansed Arabia of its Jews after the Europeans killed two-thirds of the Jews of Europe.  How incredible is it that Europe remained silent about this fact, even as they were making faux claims of ‘Never Again’ to support the creation of international norms as a con in founding the most antisemitic organization on earth, the UN.  Now, after Europe saw fit to import millions of Arabs into their society, the Arabs are keen to ethnically cleanse Europe as well, and the Europeans appear quite ready to let them do so, just as the UN stands mute except to repeatedly and inexplicably condemn Israel, the only source of refuge, respite and support which the Jews of Europe can expect to hold firm.  This outrage, and the political silence which surrounds it, strikes both horror and clarity of the growing threats to Jews, and not just in Amsterdam.  While Nioh Berg correctly states for Jews to stay out of Amsterdam, the global assault on Jews across the world bares the reality that Amsterdam is not the only center of threat which is being raised against the Jewish people.  Is it really credible to think that what is taking place in Amsterdam will remain unique to Amsterdam.  While our hopes would have us believe the answer is yes, the international support and tolerance of attacks against Jews around the world leaves a far less hopeful reality.

HEADS UP, MR. PRESIDENT – THERE ARE SABOTEURS ALL AROUND YOU! PART ONE  

Kelleigh Nelson

Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning. Robert Greene, author

A false friend is more dangerous than an open enemy.  Francis Bacon, British philosopher and statesman

That people on the political left have a certain set of opinions, just as people do in other parts of the ideological spectrum, is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred. Thomas Sowell

Trump’s victory is the second in American history where a president skipped a term and was then reelected.  The first was Grover Cleveland in 1885 and 1893.  “Let’s put it over with Grover” was the rallying cry after four years of Benjamin Harrison.

Strong Rumors: Rubio at State – Waltz as NatSec – Kash at CIA  

Sundance | November 11, 2024

If the basic story unfolding in Mar-a-Lago is to be believed, RFK JR, Elon Musk and a small group of technocrats and billionaires have become the ‘kitchen cabinet’ advisors putting the Trump administration together.  Rumors swirl that Melania Trump, Devin Nunes and Dan Scavino have checked out of the ridiculous “non-clown-car” hot mess until the dust settles.

Adding evidence to this possibility, the media are starting to report on some rather, well, shall we say, curious picks from the Mar-a-Lago transition group.
