Peloni:  This plan is highly problematic.  Libya’s civil war which broke out in the wake of the NATO war to eliminate Gaddafi, is still not resolved, with fighting being reported to have broken out most recently in the past few days.  With Haftar’s LNA controlling about two thirds of the country, including Benghazi, and the GNU holding only about a third of the country, the influx of a million Gazans would significantly impact the balance of power in Libya, most notably to the likely benefit of the GNU which is backed by both Qatar and Turkey.  Note that while Libya has a population of about 11 million, only a portion of this number is allied with the GNU, which would make the influx of one million Gazans into that country all the more significant.  In other words, if the GNU represented 6-7 million Libyans, the massive influx of a million Gazans would lead to them, as a group, representing a significant portion of the population of the GNU supporters.  Relevantly, Egypt has a population of some 118 million people, but the Sisi govt fears the radicalizing repercussions of the influx of just one million Gazans into this number, and yet, it is being contemplated that these Gazans should be sent to Libya where they will be a million out of less the 10million supporters of the GNU.

Janet Levy:  The terrorist slave state of Qatar has spent $100 billion to influence members of Congress, to indoctrinate students from K-12 to university level, to buy favorable coverage at U.S. newsrooms, and to sway think tanks and corporations. It has also invested $225 million for lobbying and PR in Washington, D.C., and $8 BILLION on Al Udeid Air Base in the Doha area – the largest U.S. base in the region. Qatar spends far more on influence peddling in the U.S. capital than any other country – 2/3rds more than Communist China!

“Conservative” Newsmax received $50 million from Al Thani in 2019. Common Sense Media Holdings was the recipient of $180,000.

Peloni:  This proposed law is long overdue.

One of the current provisions of the bill would be to preclude the ability of Israeli NGOs that receive a majority of their funding from foreign governments to petition the Israeli High Court.

By DOUGLAS ALTABEF | MAY 13, 2025

One of the dramatic post-October 7 realizations in Israel has been the recognition that we have been consistently manipulated by foreign governments and related entities in their efforts to impact Israeli policy.

While this has been a state of affairs that Im Tirtzu has been highlighting for several years, the recent intensified focus on “deep state” issues has made this manipulation more visible – and unacceptable.

Peloni:  It would seem that Qatar has made an all of America consquest, as it bought its way into the most intrinsic aspects of American infrastructure and the most key centers of American power.  To rid America of this foreign domination, it will take an all of society response to reject this plague which is re-imagining American values and injecting anti-American principles upon America’s youth.  While the influence stems from Qatar, the source of failure lies in the US, and the solution to this onslaught, along with the salvation of the American people lies with the American people.  Silence indicates consent, such as the silence outside the Qatari embassy following the revelation that Qatar was funding the antisemitic riots on US campuses, the same silence which came after it was known that Qatar had been involved in the bribing a sitting US senator.  Americans must retake a central control of their own future, divesting anti-American corruption which saturates the media, entertainment, politics and education, but this won’t be achieved thru silence.

Once accused of financing terrorism, Qatar is now celebrated by Trump as a key US ally, announcing mega-investment deals

Tal Heinrich | All Israel News | Published: May 15, 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East has been billed as an economic mission, with White House officials signaling ahead of his departure to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates that the focus would be on attracting large-scale investments to the United States – not traditional diplomacy.

Yet, judging by his statements and actions during the tour, Trump appears determined to emerge not only as a “deal maker” but also a “peacemaker.”

• Terrorist Fired at Passing Vehicles: A pregnant 30-year-old Israeli woman has been murdered in a terrorist attack in the West Bank as her husband drove her to the hospital to deliver their baby. Tzeela Gez was killed and her husband, Hananel, was lightly wounded after a terrorist opened fire on the couple’s car as they traveled from their home in the northern West Bank community of Bruchin. Doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver the baby, who is now in intensive care. Hamas praised the shooting but did not claim responsibility for carrying out the attack.

We have witnessed the greatest comeback in American political history. Who would have thought, after packing up for Mar-a-lago though he knew the 2020 election had been stolen from him, that Trump would run again? Or that he’d draw huge crowds to his signature rallies once more, even after the Dems did their damnedest to tarnish him as “a convicted felon”?

Sundance | May 15, 2025

It is absolutely not accidental that President Trump delivers a speech at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the USA’s largest military base in the middle east, with a backdrop of an MQ-9B Reaper Drone on stage.

Peloni:  It is inconceivable that the most innocent elements of society have been subjected to being injected with these shots even after 100 days of Trump having taken office, and yet, here we are finally seeing an end to this infamy being waged against those who have no voice, and truly no agency of their own.  I have little expectation of any retribution for those who concocted or carried out the Covid scam, but of all the many aspects of treachery and betrayal which was carried out in support of this scam, the shameful act of injecting an unsafe biological countermeasure into a child under the guise of protecting them from a disease for which they had minimal to zero serious threat, must be deemed to need the most significant penalty.  And yet, it does appear that we will likely all live out our lives without the first defendant being charged, much less sentenced, for the crimes which were committed in the name of old “safe and effective”.  I do, of course, hope to be proven wrong on this point, but time will tell.

With over 600,000 estimated COVID shot deaths in the U.S., HHS moves to roll back CDC guidance—amid mounting criminal referrals, legislative efforts, and growing calls for a complete moratorium

Iran has some of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. The average cost of electricity in the United States per kilowatt hour is $0.181.

In Iran it’s $0.004.

A country where electricity is vastly cheaper than America isn’t looking to lower power costs.

Before there was Qatar & influence operations, there was Saudi Arabia & influence operations. If it is Qatar is in the headlines for buying politicians, media, universities, and for its terrorist connections, Saudi Arabia was making the same headlines and more (anyone remember 9/11?) a few years ago. Don’t look now, but Saudi’s Alwaleed bin Talal is a constant player. For starters, he was Fox’s No. 2 owner then, and he is Twitter’s No 2 owner today. Meanwhile, according to Forbes, Qatar threw a few hundred million dollars into Elon’s Twitter purchase as well. Who knows? Maybe, we are all Qataris now.
