MIA – THE PEOPLE WE PAY  

Kelleigh Nelson

People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests. James Bovard

Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons. Mark Twain

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets.  Will Rogers

We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress, we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money. Davy Crockett

The absurd demonization of President Trump  

Comparing Trump to Hitler? Can any rational person compare what Hitler did when he initiated the most disastrous war in history to what the former president accomplished during his four years in office?

Dr. Alex Grobman | Oct 28, 2024
Trump at event commemorating October 7REUTERS/Marco Bello

“Hitler’s ‘career’ was truly astonishing,” observed historian Ian Kershaw. He was “an absolute nobody” throughout the first half of his life. During the second half, he forced the world to wait in fear and trepidation for his every move. The devastation he caused in Europe was “unmatched even by Attila the Hun.”

Is the Left Preparing for War If Trump Wins  

A Warning for American Citizens

MG Paul E Vallely, US Army (Ret)  Morning Intelligence Report

By Lee Smith[1]Guest Editorial | October 29.2024

The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country.

As I write in my forthcoming book Disappearing the President, Democratic Party research and media reports show that many senior party officials and operatives are preparing for the possibility of a Trump victory. Accordingly, planning is focused on undermining the incoming president with enough violence to rock his administration. Prominent post-election scenarios forecast such widespread rioting that the newly elected president would be compelled to invoke the Insurrection Act. With some senior military officials refusing to follow Trump’s orders, according to the scenarios, the U.S. Armed Forces would split, leaving America on the edge of the abyss.

What is the Blob so afraid that Trump will do  

Peloni:  The challenge to the establishement’s ability to continue business as usual is what drew the ire from intelligence community, it is what brought about the impeachment charade in which the witnesses perjured themeselves, it is what brought about the election theft which was certified as legitimate, and it was what made it necessary for the challenge of the election fraud to be made illegitmate with a fabricated assault on the capital using paramilitary hacks who are likely the only ones who will never be charged for the Jan. 6 psyop.  So the question remains, what will they do next.

The War of Restoration  

Peloni:  This is a must read speech by Netanyahu.

A war of annihilation was imposed on us, and we are responding with a war of rebirth.

ANJULI PANDAVAR |

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the nation at the close of the High Holidays, on 27 October 2024, was a speech to pull what has been a fractured nation together, to give voice to all the pain, to acknowledge the sacrifices, and articulate the accomplishments. It gave love, strength, inspiration and determination. To everyone.


Honourable President of the State, Isaac Herzog and his wife Michal, Speaker of the Knesser, Amir Ohana, Acting President of the Supreme Court, Justice Isaac Amit, Minister of Defence, Yoav Gallant, Ministers and dozens of Members of Knesset, Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, The Head of Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, Commissioner of Police, Chief Commissioner Daniel Levy, Representatives of various memorial organisations, and esteemed guests, many who, on the advice of the President, I won’t list everyone, but above all, the families of the hostages, and my brothers and sisters of the bereaved families, relatives of our heroes, the fallen of the struggle.

My wife and I visited many families, and we stood in awe [of] those family members whose lives have changed in an instant, and will never return to what they were. We sometimes stood before the bravery of the fallen, before the resilience of the families, their endurance in indescribable suffering, in grief and in a void that cannot be described.

Cry Me a River, UNRWA  

See also:  Hillel Neuer on ABC Australia: “UNRWA is rotten to the core”

When 84-year-old Ditza Heiman was released from Hamas captivity and ready to tell her story, she revealed that she was held in Gaza for 53 days under the watchful eye of a teacher from the United Nations agency in Gaza, UNRWA.

In August, UNRWA director Philippe Lazzarini was confronted by Ayelet Samerano, whose son was killed on Oct. 7: “As you can see in the video that is online, on Oct. 7 an UNRWA employee entered Israel and actively participated in the massacre, brutally murdering and kidnapping my boy’s body, with a United Nations car, into Gaza.”

It gets tiring to rehearse the many such stories—the nine staffers fired by the agency for participating in the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, the hundreds of agency employees who Israel claims were moonlighting with one of Gaza’s terrorist groups, the discovery that the head of the UNRWA teachers union was also Hamas’s top official in Lebanon, the agency’s sharing of facilities with Hamas command centers, the rockets stored in UNRWA schools and the Hamas tunnels underneath them.

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.

Religious Zionism party leader encourages Palestinians with ‘national ambitions’ to emigrate to Arab states

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

Seth J. Frantzman | October 28, 2024

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.

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.
