Dozens of bullets fired into Belleville Synagogue night of Sept. 20, 2026: What we know so far  

Looking at the cautious information first. This is the right move. Too many of these events become destroyed in the public consciousness by a combination of disinformation and of course, the withholding of real information by authorities when the attacker is of the left, (trans etc) or Muslim. Our suspicion is it is to let people’s blood cool before announcing anything factual in order to prevent rational action or criticism of policies that create these events as a consequence.

Mark Levin: The Future is in Our Hands, This is a Fight We Can Not Afford To Lose  

PELONI:  Mark Levin makes the case for ignoring the speed at which AI is being rolled out while also questioning the voices which are advocating for legislation, regulation or delays.  Yet, the role to be played by those Silicon Valley leaders who will control AI in the US would suggest that there is a basis for concern.  As Mark noted in a previous episode, those who control AI will control the future, so without adding any guardrails by which to control those AI companies which will be managing the future requires a great deal of trust.  So the question inevitably is not about Sen. Bernie Sanders or about Sen. Josh Hawley, but about the Silicon Valley tycoons and to what degree trusting them with the future of the world might be warranted.  I always consider Mark’s arguments because they are grounded in clarity and good judgement.  Yet, when contemplating the potential of the future of the world being left in the hands of the Silicon Valley tycoons, I have to argue that such a potential makes little sense to me.

Mark Levin’s Sunday Sept 20 Show

Mark Levin (ML) made an opening speech as to the benefits of A1, which he related – he had spent the last while in studying its benefits for humanity – including without any restriction – medical progress, reduction in costs for everything, lower work times, a better quality of life, etc. which he read from experts’ postings re same. He was a messenger & not an expert by education or practice. However, he understood the core and thrusts basics, and their type of assets and consequences.

Gordon Chang to Newsmax: US Still Leads China in AI Race  

PELONI:  The arguments about the need for AI dominance in the US consistently evades the need to address those who will be in control of the AI in the US.  Recalling that those who control the AI infrastructure in the US will control the future seems as much of discussion as the need to maintain US dominance in this vital field over China.

China remains behind the United States in the race to dominate artificial intelligence, and Washington cannot afford to slow development as Beijing works to close the gap, China expert Gordon Chang told Newsmax on Tuesday.

Iran’s economy in tatters – but will latest hardships lead to another uprising?  

PELONI:   An economic crisis alone will not bring Iran to its knees.  It will take support from the Iranian people, and an opportunity of regime chaos and vulnerability which will only come from further strikes on the regime of a significant nature rather than the tit for tat limited strikes which Washington has taken to prefer in the aftermath of their unilateral call for negotiations last April.

Analyst to AIN: Regime is in a fight for its life and won’t give up so easily

Muslim Civilization Believes in War and Death  

PELONI:  Prof. Francisco Gi-White provides an important context for the conflict in the following video.  In it he argues that the Israelis need to through out the Arab terrorists who he contends are the bosses in the Arab sectors of Judea and Samaria and Gaza, following which he also argues that Israel should take over the duty of dealing with the psychological harms which have victimized the Arab subjects in these territories.  In this latter point, I argue that it would be better for the Arabs, better for the Israelis, and better for the stability of the region to simply let these psychotic Arabs leave, open the doors which are being held shut by the surrounding Arab nations as well as the US and the Europeans.  Israel does not have a responsibility to solve the inherent problems of Arab societies, even in J&S and Gaza, where any attempt to deal with the psychosis of the population will be met with further animosity among the falsely named pro-Palestinian advocates, none of whom give a tinker’s dam for the psychotic victims in Gaza or J&S.  They are a tool to be used towards the destruction of Israel, and so long as they are able to play such a part, they will likely play that part and their advocates around the world will support them towards this end, because the anhelation of the Jews of Israel is the focus of the project to create a second Palestinian state, and that is the motif for the psychotic Arabs and their supporters around the world as well.  So let them go, help them leave, and prove that peace can be achieved by simply opening the border rather than playing the impossible role of solving the problems of  Jew Hatred which is inherent and weaponized in Arab societies around the world, not just in Israel.

The History of Israel as a Guide to US Founding Fathers  

PELONI:  Eric Metaxas joins Yair Pinto to describes his book, Revolution – Birth of the Greatest Nation, and in doing so he shares the surprise which struck him during his research when he came to understand that the Americans looked back to the model of the Israelites in throwing off Pharoah’s yoke of tyranny as they were striving to throw off the yoke of tyranny of the British Crown.   From here the discussion turns to the US-Israeli alliance and the ‘aid’, in which he argues that Israel and America are brothers.  The better explanation I would suggest is that the US and Israel each benefit from the alliance and the US investment in Israel’s defenses, and that the US has particularly gained an exponential return on that defense.

Sorry, Hilltop Youth  

PELONI:  In the wake of political indecision, the Hilltop Youth provide a clear and effective deterrence to illegal land grabs by the Arabs in Judea and Samaria, while also using them at times as a geopolitical crutch to answer the Arabist catcalls of “Settler Violence” from allied nations, not least of which includes the US.  So when Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar share their sense of regret in the commentary written below, this is the basis on which that apology is based.

Jordan Shields the Muslim Brotherhood Despite Its U.S. Terrorist Designation  

PELONI: Why is Washington moving so slowly, imperceptivity so, against the Muslim Brotherhood, even in the Middle East?  Designations of Specially Designated Global Terrorists and Foreign Terrorist Organization have no value if these entities can simply morph towards a new version based on an altered label.

The Jordanian regime claims to have outlawed the Brotherhood while allowing its political, media, financial, and charitable infrastructure to operate and expand

The Jordanian government continues to protect and enable the Muslim Brotherhood despite the United States’ designation of the movement’s Jordanian branch as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity.

It’s more scary that you think!- BOO!  

PELONI:  As Andrew Benjamin explains, the psyops being promoted behind AI is all about control.  This makes it essential to know who might be behind the psyops being used to promote and/or derail AI  development as if no guardrails might be needed to direct or contain the control of the awesome power of AI going into the future.

Evaluate patterns, you can predict the future. Pattern-recognition drives predictive technology, including AI, military strategy & Global Markets. Lastly, Shock & Awe: AI for the WOKE & the REICH!

The Ultimate Veto: How October 7 Weaponized the Logic of the Assassin  

Harry Liberman

Click Image to Enlarge. Image created via AI.

The concept of the “assassin’s veto” has long served as a dark boundary marker for Western liberal democracies.

Coined to describe how the threat of lethal violence can force free societies into self-censorship, the term found its most visceral modern validation in the 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre [cato]. There, the intent was clear: use the bullet to enforce ideological boundaries, forcing media outlets and governments to capitulate to fear [cato].

Escalation on the way? US issues Middle East travel warning, as Trump returns to White House early  

Peloni:  Take note of the followng facts.  The Saudis are incapable of providing their own defense.  They have called on all actors in the region for support.  The US has thus far turned them down.  The Saudis have withdrawn from Chinese-led digital currency & blockchain payment system as alternative to US dollar.  Bibi announces he is shortening his US trip this week to strictly give the speech at the UN before returning home.  The US has sent warnings across the Middle East regarding rising tensions.  Add to these in the past hours, the Iranians have issued warnings of an imminent US attack.  So we will see what comes, but all things do point to the US or a US surrogate, possibly Israel, coming to the aid of Saudi Arabia as the Saudis have made a sizeable gesture moving away from China.  Will there be more such gestures forthcoming from MBS before any US intervention comes to be?   Let us hope so.

Unresolved Iran conflict, Saudi-Houthi fighting, raises concerns in Israel of escalation during High Holidays

Thing Just Got A Whole Lot Worse For Ed Sheeran…  

Peloni:  Shame on Ed Sheeran as he surrenders to the pro Hamas narrative.  Meanwhile, Robert Kraft sends $2 million for Humanitarian Crisis in ‘Palestine’.  What is it about our current age that it is so hard for those who recognize the campaigns of Evil which swarm about us to hold the line and simply hold the line rather than entering into Faustian bargains which entirely erase the reality that there is no bargain to be struck with Evil which does not involve you in the crimes you recognize as criminal.  Notably, the only hamitarian crisis which exists in GAZA, not ‘Palestine’, is that civilians are held in place as human shields by Hamas and their international enablers.  Kraft’s efforts to fund this existing situation as is, which is all his donation will purchase, will not relieve the suffering of either the people in Gazan who are tormented by Hamas who is supported by such donations as that of Kraft, while also facilitating their continued existence to likewise body snatch and murder the real innocents in this war, which are the Israelis.  Regarding Ed Sheeran, perhaps someone can offer him a copy of the report by UNICEF which demonstrates that there is not and never was any famine in Gaza, and adding his voice to the list of useful idiots ignoring this reality will only serve to hold the Gazans in Gaza, Hamas in control, and Israel under a perpetual threat of another October 7 which Sheeran goes to some length to disown.  Waffling in the face of evil is how useful idiots become useful to the evil they deplore.

The Israeli settlements lie  

Peloni:  Last November, in an open letter to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, I noted that “as is always true with the Jews, what is best relied upon is a fair and equitable application of the law, and the law, as defined in international treaties and agreements, supports our claim to lands reconstituted in the state of Israel… and those who would deny the property rights of the Jews by claiming their land belongs to the savage Arab Palestinians, should in turn be understood to be textbook examples of antisemites.”  Natasha Hausdorff provides a similar argument below, while explaining the international legal frameworks which undermine the basis on which Israeli lands are Israeli, and the property rights of Jews must be held to no different standard from those of other ethnicities and territories.

There are few phrases in international affairs repeated with greater confidence or subjected to less scrutiny than ‘illegal Israeli settlements’.

There are few phrases in international affairs repeated with greater confidence or subjected to less scrutiny than ‘illegal Israeli settlements’. It appears in UN resolutions, government statements, NGO reports and news bulletins as though it were an established fact. Add the words ‘under international law’ and apparently further discussion becomes unnecessary.

Tehran’s Transnational Repression Strategy Is Evolving

Every now and then, the world remembers Israel. Actually, that is not quite right. The world never forgets Israel. Israel has been the international community’s favourite hobby for so long that one sometimes wonders what governments would do with themselves if Israel disappeared from the news cycle for a week.
