The IDF is in a panic about the Russian military’s presence and deployment of sophisticated weaponry in the region, Israel’s Channel 2 reported on Sunday.

According to the report, though the IDF is not admitting this openly, high-ranking officers have said behind closed doors that the “surprising” quality and quantity of Russian systems in the area is dramatically hampering the way the Israeli Air Force and Navy are able to operate.

Democrats should ask Clinton to step aside  

By John Kass, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
OCT 29/16

clinton1Has America become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday’s FBI announcement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state?

We’ll find out soon enough.

It’s obvious the American political system is breaking down. It’s been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they’re properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.

TRUMP’S REVOLUTION  

NY SUN

sam-adamsOne of America’s fastest friends — Andrew Roberts, the British historian — delivered quite a lecture at the Manhattan Institute’s Wriston dinner this year, we gather from the edition of his remarks that appears in the Wall Street Journal. “For all the undoubted genius of your Constitution,” our friend reckons, “in 2016 it is no longer sustainable for Americans to say they have the best democratic system in the world.” The headline the Journal puts over it is: “1776: Would you like to reconsider?”

SON OF LIBERTY: Thanks but no thanks, says the Sun in respect of the question of whether, in light of the current presidential contest, to reconsider 1776. Our own sentiments abide with Samuel Adams. Nor were the Sons of Liberty so dainty in their day.

U.S. Elections: The Peculiar Search for Antisemitism  

BY ABRAHAM KATSMAN

Yes, there have been noxious anti-Semitc comments by one of the candidates: not Trump, but Hillary Clinton. Journalists scouring only the Trump record for anti-Semitism–but not both sides equally–betray their own insincerity, and dishonorably misuse this serious issue for partisan purposes.

In this strangest of election years, one element of political discourse keeps getting stranger: the crusade to uncover any smidgen of antisemitism.

With great zeal, journalists – particularly in the Jewish media – have gone to extraordinary lengths hunting for the slightest hint of anti-Jewish hostility. Their findings have been enlightening, though perhaps not exactly as intended.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior coalition members on Sunday were set to discuss the proposed shuttering of a new, not-yet-operational public broadcaster.

Lawmakers in the Jewish Home and Kulanu parties told Hebrew media over the weekend their respective parties were opposed to the closure, which critics have charged is an effort by Netanyahu — who also holds the communications portfolio — to muzzle voices critical of the prime minister. Reports Sunday afternoon said Kulanu’s leader, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, would not attend the discussion.

Why Putin favors Hillary Clinton in the coming election  

MILG-POPS, MIDDLE EAST;MILITARY; INTELLIGENCE

It appears that  Putin favors Hillary Clinton in the coming election contrary to Clinton’s attempt to connect Trump with Putin.

A.     Putin is a cold-blooded.  realist  with an agenda to expand Russian  influence to encompass all of the areas of the previous Soviet Union and to become a major player in the Middle East.  It is Putin’s agenda that   guides his  actions.[ And,  from Putin’s point of view Hillary Clinton  is much more likely to help him  complete his agenda than is Donald Trump.]

B.      Most important to Putin  is the  very favorable political and  economic outcomes to Russia that would occur from Hillary Clinton’s expected actions relating to fracking.Thus, a major reason that he prefers Hillary Clinton is her position and  likely future actions concerning  Fracking.

This Election Provides An Education in Corruption  

By Tabitha Korol

I took the liberty of addressing a form letter, dated October 24, 2016, signed by Carol Meek and “Paid for by the Ohio Democrat Party.” An Ohio public school teacher for 33 years, she was distraught about constantly hearing Donald Trump’s “mean, cruel, racist, and reprehensible” words. Of course, this has been a persistent smear campaign conducted against Trump by the Democrat party and mainstream media, which also buries Hillary’s scandals.

Meek said, “The 2016 election is no longer an opportunity to teach about American government in real time . . . because of the vile words and behavior of Donald Trump.”  How wrong she is!  This is the time to see our government in action, as we are living in an age of a despotic ruling class protected by media corruption, when the common man, one not of Washington and who lived the American dream, may restore our purloined freedoms.  Her students would be exposed to revealed “private conversation” as well as to illegal, private, scheming conversation with people who buy and sell favors that harm our country.  They would have seen “in real time” the presidential debates controlled by biased moderators, and learned later that one candidate, Hillary, was illegally given the questions in advance.  We may soon have the opportunity to watch “in real time” how justice will prevail in a court of law against a candidate who enriched herself on foreign funds, with a history of corruption that should render her ineligible for office.

“Submitted Under Protest”  

Submitted Under Protest: Essays Written in Defense of Western Freedom
by Dexter Van Zile

By Ardie Geldman, NER

submittedunderprotestIn June 2005 Dexter Van Zile, then a member of the United Church of Christ, was sitting at a desk in an Atlanta hotel room reviewing a resolution, condemning the State of Israel’s security barrier, which had been presented to the church’s General Synod at its biannual meeting. 

The text called on Israel to dismantle the controversial barrier that it erected in response to the Second Intifada and to provide monetary compensation to some untold number of Palestinians for the damage it had caused to their property. The resolution, writes Van Zile, “had been prepared with little regard for the Israelis who had been murdered by the Palestinian suicide bombers….” The draft “described in great detail the suffering endured by the Palestinians as a result of the barrier, but made no mention of Israeli victims of terror attacks. It portrayed the hardships suffered by the Palestinians as a result of the barriers as a bigger problem than the loss of Israeli lives.”

Hillary’s 33,000 emails might not be ‘missing’ after all  

By Paul Sperry, NY POST, October 25, 2016

clinton1For months now, we’ve been told that Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 missing emails were permanently erased and destroyed beyond recovery. But newly released FBI notes strongly suggest they still exist in several locations — and they could be recovered, if only someone would impanel a grand jury and seize them.

In a May interview with FBI agents, an executive with the Denver contractor that maintained Clinton’s private server revealed that an underling didn’t bleach-clean all her subpoenaed emails, just ones he stored in a data file he used to transfer the emails from the server to Clinton’s aides, who in turn sorted them for delivery to Congress.

FBI agents are ready to revolt over the cozy Clinton probe  

By Paul Sperry, NY POST  FIRST PUBLISHED ON OCT 7/16

Veteran FBI agents say FBI Director James Comey has permanently damaged the bureau’s reputation for uncompromising investigations with his “cowardly” whitewash of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information using an unauthorized private email server.

Feeling the heat from congressional critics, Comey last week argued that the case was investigated by career FBI agents, “So if I blew it, they blew it, too.”

But agents say Comey tied investigators’ hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation. Read more…

Will the Islamic State be Destroyed or Self-Destruct?  

A review and interview with Raphael Israeli, author of The Internationalization of ISIS

by Jerry Gordon (November 2016)

israeliisisThe US–led coalition launched a major campaign to reclaim Mosul on October 17, 2016 with 30,000 Iraqi national troops, Shi’ite militias and Kurdish Peshmerga forces, assisted by 5,000 US and foreign advisers with air and heavy artillery support. Mosul was conquered by rampaging fighters of the Islamic State in June 2014, when Iraqi national army forces fled, abandoning weapons, vehicles and equipment. The Islamic State enriched itself with hundreds of millions of dollars in plundered gold, foreign currency and property abandoned by nearly a million Sunni, Christian and Kurdish residents of this second largest and predominately Sunni city with a previous population of over 2 million. On June 29, 2014, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the charismatic self-styled leader ascended the rostrum of the central mosque in Mosul to declare an Islamic State or Caliphate under Shari’a Islamic Holy Law and himself as Caliph. The announcement was conveyed around the globe via social media websites and YouTube video encouraging the faithful to join in the Jihad extolled as a virtue of the Prophet Mohammed and his companions. Baghdadi implored the Muslim faithful to recognize the imperative “to rescue the caliphate from oblivion.” Through the various media both al-Baghdadi and his spokespersons extolled this message: Read more…

WHAT WILL REPLACE ISIS?  

This is a war to determine whether the future will belong to the West or to Islam.

Daniel Greenfield, FPM

Before long the same administration that declared the fighting in Iraq over several times will claim victory over ISIS. The timetable for its push against the Islamic State appears to have less do with the victimized Christians and Yazidis who have been prevented from coming here as refugees in favor of Syrian Muslims than with the Clinton presidential campaign. Like Obama’s declarations that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were over, the announcement that ISIS has been defeated will be premature.

It is based on a profound misunderstanding and misreading of Islamic terrorism.
