Peloni:  I worried about this possibility when the Saudi’s came to Washington and did an about face on their objections regarding any attack on Iran.  Saudi Arabia know how to obtain what they want, and once again, it appears that they have come to bring Washington to support Saudi interests rather than the reverse – a long accepted practice between Riyadh and Washington over the years.  This time, however, marks an altogether new level of concern as the Trump administration has dropped the requirements for guardrails preventing nuclear enrichment and the SNAP inspections to ensure compliance.

Peloni:  Coordination between state security services to lock down citizens is a frightening and emerging feature of totalitarianism, but the quashing of dissent is not exclusively a feature of regimes such as China and Iran.  We are all of us old enough to recall when stolen elections were deemed to be a feature of such regimes as Iran, but the practice of employing electoral selection rather than political elections failed to remain outside the realm of Western democracies, did it…

Iran’s protest suppression is no longer a purely domestic operation. It is now reinforced by Chinese technology, security doctrine, and training infrastructure.

It’s said that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth. Sadly, that was displayed recently by someone with whom I was once friendly and who hosted me multiple times on his radio program, enthusiastic about my work building bridges between Jews and Christians in support of Israel.

Peloni:  Deradicalization is an important step in dealing with the threat from Gaza, but let us be clear that only Israel has the interest in implementing a program which will silence the radicals in the Arab street.  While the UAE has made remarkable strides towards doing so within their own borders, is it reasonable to believe that they would do the same in Gaza when the UAE was among those who called on Israel not to invade Gaza at the beginning of the war and for Israel not to neutralize Hamas at the end of the war?  The radicals in Gaza are an Israeli problem and it requires an Israeli solution.

Peloni:  As I have noted many times, the US has PLENTY of laws which might be used to target those who support and carry out terrorist attacks, and it is only a lack of political will which prevents serious penalties from being exacted for those who violate the laws described below, which go on being violated on a daily basis.  The failure to fully employ these laws as they were intended to be applied has cost many American lives, among many others, and this will continue to be true so long as evil is left to fester unabated while being fed millions of US dollars every year.

The U.S. secretary of state should consider designating the Palestinian Authority, PLO and their associated proxies as Foreign Terrorist Organizations due to active concealment of their violations.

The Taylor Force Act (22 USC 2378c-1) was named in memory of Taylor Force, a U.S. veteran and graduate student who was visiting Israel and was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist. The Palestinian Authority awarded the terrorist’s family a stipend for his homicidal efforts, under its longtime “pay for slay” program.

Mark Levin’s February 15 Sunday Show:

Mark opens his Sunday, February 15 show: speaking about the current Iranian Regime being one of the most consequential foreign policy challenges facing the United States today, while also noting how this challenge is met will shape the future for generations to come. (The conflicts of interest of the US Commander-in-Chief President Donald Trump with the enemy Qataris, were never mentioned by him or his 2 guests following his opening.)

Peloni:  The fantasyland depictions of peace discussed by the Board of Peace ignores the very real dilemma which the IDF faces on a daily basis, where repeated attempts by Hamas operatives to kidnap Israeli servicemen go on unabated, all while noting that should the IDF detection of these serialized butchers fail, these barbarians will happily revisit the horrors of October 7 upon the Israeli people all over again.  Even more concerning is that among the force named to do the heavy lifting needed to achieve peace, ie the International Security Force, there are to be included Indonesian forces who are likely capable of dealing with threats which rise against their own homeland, but which should never be trusted to do the same with regards to the security and safety of Israel, a nation which Indonesia does not recognize and whose sentiments are strongly tied to support the likes of Hamas instead.  This entire process is a gross disregard of everything the Israeli people have sacrificed and endured over the past two and half years, as there appears the expectation of peace forthcoming from the Board of Peace will be just as imaginary as the expectation of stability forthcoming from the International Stabilization Force.

Peloni:  A must read article.  Dealing with the radicalization within Gaza is not something which should be left to others to do.  Indeed, this is something which only Israel can secure for herself, but for this to take place, it requires Israeli governance to return to Gaza.  Unfortunately, this is something which Netanyahu has divorced himself from doing since the beginning hours of the war without any sign of alteration, as responsibility for Gaza has been handed over the to the auspices of the Board of Peace and its varying cast of characters who all share a single fact: that none of them but Israel will enforce any security for Israelis, as their interests, even for those nations who should be counted most closely to Israel such as the US, have a different set of interests which will qualify any attempt at peace as being something less than necessary for the protection and security of the Israeli people.

The recipe of deradicalization for Gaza is likely to prove a dangerous and unrealistic pipe dream.

One of the most persistent—and pernicious—myths being bandied about in the debate over how to achieve some peaceable resolution to the violence induced by radical Islam in Gaza is the proposed “panacea” of “de-radicalization” of extremist Islamist elements. The rationale underlying the prescription of deradicalization is as glib as it is deceptive.

BREAKING: Even before the Political Theater going down at Munich news conferences and the negotiating table in Doha are over, expect SHOCK & AWE in the Perisian Gulf – and what’s left of Gaza City. Actually, the gig was up last June.

REMEMBER THIS: Help is on the way, and this President keeps his promises!

The gig is also up at the now-outed leftwing Trump-Deranged antisemite podcasts of Taquar Catarlson, CON-dace Owens, and Steve Bannon.

Peloni: Freedom of speech was chosen to be the First Amendment to the US Constitution specifically because it was considered to be the fundamental basis upon which a democratic govt might exist.  Relatedly, the war on free speech which took root to support the multifaceted scam of Covid came to be the wellspring of tyranny around the world.  While there were countless victims of this wave of tyranny, few achieved the degree of success in challenging this tyranny which Reiner Fuellmich and his “Corona Investigative Committee” before it was derailed.  As if to prove the point that such tyranny is not to be challenged without significantly over-charged penalties, Fuellmich soon came to find that the doors of law and justice closed in around him, as if even a word from him might be judged too great a danger for society to bear.  Indeed, in the age of rigged elections, fake protests, and normalizing terrorism, it might seem that the concept of informed consent is a trivial loss to modern society, but it is the basis upon which modern medicine and medical ethics has long been practiced, and it is upon this hill that Reiner Fuellmich came to realize he would fight his life’s most important battle, a battle which he continues to wage now, even was first stripped of his freedom and later his voice, as societies’ gatekeepers have taken nearly every step to keep him from making contact with the public in his own defense.

In the accounts circulated by his supporters, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is cast as a high-profile German attorney who turned his consumer-law reputation into a public crusade during the COVID era – most visibly through the “Corona Investigative Committee,” a long-form interview platform that hosted scientists, physicians, lawyers, and dissidents from multiple countries.

Peloni:  Study this report carefully, and based on all of this, consider why the US govt would not specifically target the Qatari regime, much less protect them from attack or promote them throughout the world.  Such actions hardly advance an America first agenda.

* Qatar’s strategic alliance with Iran’s Ayatollah regime has been tightened since 2017, in the face of the blockade on Qatar, which was imposed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain. The blockade was imposed due to their accusation that Qatar was fomenting terrorism and subversion in their countries, as well as assisting Al Qaeda, Yemen’s Houthis and other terrorists.

Peloni:  Don’t miss final tweet at the bottom. It appears that the temperature in the region is rising fast with many expecting an imminent attack this weekend.  I still question if Trump will strike Iran during Ramadan.  Recent word of Rubio meeting with Bibi at the end of the month and US troop dispositions being ready in about three weeks time would support this conclusion, unless these are part of a disinformation op.

If anyone deserved a brutal ass-kicking, it’s these butchers.

The people inside Iran are looking up to the sky every day, waiting for the sound of American planes.

This is no exaggeration.

Everyone is holding their breath.

Peloni:  The claim made that Trump is looking for a way to take the temperature down belies the fact that the rising temperature is the intentional drama being created by Carlson’s one-sided and inaccurate reports which include blood libels and false statements by radical opponents of Israel, overt antisemites and off center ‘historians’.  Consequently, the one who Trump should be specifically addressing in calling for taking down the temperature is actually Carlson.
