Peloni:  It is only thru utter defeat that a sense of deterrence might be achieved which will maintain regional peace in the years to come.

The defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka shows how entrenched militant movements can be decisively dismantled. After decades of terror, Sri Lanka’s 2009 victory over the LTTE was complete, unquestionable, and left no room for revival.

Israel today faces a similar challenge in Hezbollah—and in Hamas. Hezbollah is not a separatist force but a hybrid militia-political movement propped up by Iran. Its survival depends on financial, military, and ideological lifelines from Tehran, making it both powerful and deeply vulnerable. Hamas operates in a similar way in Gaza, sustained by external support and a false narrative of “resistance.”

Peloni:  National identity is the most fundamental quality around which nations exist.  The English are finally coming to grasp that their identity is under assault and that if they fail to win this battle, their nation will become an ever darker realm in which England and the English have no role, not control, and no place of refuge.

• Friday Night Attack: The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a ballistic missile at Israel on August 22, setting off sirens throughout large swaths of the country just after the start of the Jewish Sabbath. The IDF stated that it attempted to intercept the projectile using Israel’s advanced air defense systems, which include Arrow, THAAD, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome, but that the missile likely broke apart in mid-air. Israeli police warned of “debris and fragments” near Tel Aviv following the attack, which resulted in no casualties.
• Potential Cluster Munitions Used: Hours after the attack, Israeli media reported that the warhead may have contained cluster munitions, and that Israeli authorities were investigating further. Cluster munitions are released at altitude, scattering over 20 smaller submunitions indiscriminately over wide areas. Iran previously used similar weapons during the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran in June.

Peloni:  The West prefers to deal with ruthless totalitarian because they are willing and capable of forcing their people to do as they want, thus providing results desired by the West.  Yet, it remains to be seen why the West would prefer to deal with a totalitarian who is either incapable or unwilling to control his forces, as has been the case with Jolani.  In truth, empowering a Jihadist radical in Syria will be unfortunate for the local minorities, and unsuccessful in bringing stability to this nation which has been too long gripped in a state of sectarian violence, with one or the other side having the opportunity to conduct slaughters on the other side, and without the interest or capability of preventing such atrocities from taking place.  The peaceful solution for Syria lies in the development of divided nations valuing and supporting the separate identities of the various Syrian ethnicities, not as a centralized terror state which is dedicated towards the permanent erasure of those identities.

Peloni:  The US and UK dominance in the Five Eyes consistently led to little accountability for the violations of trust which the organization conducted in regards to the interests of the other members or other allied nations.  Yet, when this organization was wielded as a tool of the US domestic opposition party against the US govt itself, the lack of accountability in this institution hit an all time new threshold of skullduggery, against the most dominant member of the organization, ie America.  While there have been breaches of trust in the past, beginning with the revelation of the Cambridge Five Soviet Spy ring, these violations of trust were coincidental rather than intentional.  Over the years, however, the use of this covert spy organization has morphed into a renegade organization of ever expanding global surveillance, and this new facet of the Five Eyes Alliance came to be ultimately leveraged against the most principle powers involved in the organization.  Hence, Thomas Lifson was quite correct in asserting good riddance to this corrupt, insidious, and rudderless organization which came to lose all ability to distinguish friend from foe, as it aided and abetted one of the greatest tragedies in US history, a rolling coup against the US govt.  To be honest, a greater accountability should be preferred than just shutting down the sharing of intel with this globalist tool of the Liberal World Order.

Amid all the other things that have rattled the deep state — notably the search and seizure of evidence from Trump-hating John Bolton’s residence and office — President Trump has quietly shut down the ‘five eyes’ intelligence arrangement between the English-speaking countries — the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, rocking the deep-state’s overseas allies, too. The comity is over.

Defending or protecting American Jews isn’t one of them

Douglas Altabef | Aug 22, 2025

The recent decision by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), once seen as a vaunted protector of the American Jewish community, to add “America First” to its Glossary of Extremism and Hate is no mere exercise in sanctimony or virtue signaling.

This unbelievably wrong-headed, ill-considered and insensitive decision sends the worst kind of messages, especially to those with who the American Jewish community is in most need of dialog and mutual understanding: American conservatives, particularly, America First MAGA conservatives.

More winning and vindication for our magnificent POTUS. Canada predictably will drop it’s retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. In the meantime, the Trump tariffs are generating billions of dollars in revenue for the U.S. And according to the CBO, the Trump tariffs (if sustained) will reduce the U.S debt by $4 trillion in a decade.

• IPC Declares Famine in Gaza Governorate: The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global consortium that assesses food insecurity, announced on August 22 its determination that the Gaza Governorate region of the coastal strip, which includes the densely populated Gaza City, is now experiencing a famine. The report cited “reasonable evidence” but not “solid evidence” that since August 15, the area has met the IPC’s three main criteria for the declaration of famine, affecting an estimated 514,000 people.

Peloni: Mike Doran provides an important discussion of the movement within MAGA which is trying to turn MAGA into the most pro-Israel movement in history into the most antisemitic movement in the current age.  Very revealing in many ways.

Peloni:  In this video, Ollie addresses the false statements and antisemitic allegations made against Israel and AIPAC which were made during the interview between Megyn Kelly & MTG.  It is important to take to heart what Ollie notes towards the end of his analysis when he asserts that the Woke Right, with which Kelly is aligning in this interview, has as its purpose to splinter the MAGA movement which coalesced around Trump back in 2016, and has consistently been a pro-Israel movement, the most pro-Israel movement in US history as I have often noted.  Yet, the less than subtle attempts by Carlson and MTG to interject an antisemitic theme into this pro-Israel movement, if successful, will and can have only one ultimate outcome, namely the creation of a split within the MAGA movement into Dreyfusard and anti-Dreyfusard wings, so to speak.  The purpose in doing so is to create a permanent breach along an essential platform theme of the movement which will strip it of the unity and power which allowed this movement to challenge the Washington establishment.  So while the focus of these false charges which Kelly has apparently come to support are directed at Israel, the real target of this anti-Israel campaign is directed at America, and more specifically the pro-reform MAGA movement which the charlatans of the Woke Right are trying to permanently divide and destroy.

Since the Palestinian terror organization Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Hamas and their supporters among the global forces of anti-Semitism have engaged in a coordinated campaign to encourage Christians to withdraw their support for Zionism and the State of Israel. These forces of Jew haters are well aware that the last major bastion of pro- Israel supporters are Christian Zionists. Therefore, they have embarked on a campaign to convince Christians that the Jews are the aggressors—even the persecutors of Christians themselves—in the cause of breaking the Christian-Jewish alliance.  Despite Hamas and Palestinian aggression against Arab Christians living within Palestinian villages and cities, Hamas propagandists and their supporters among the legacy media, academia, the Democratic Party, and progressive forces everywhere have weaponized historical Christian prejudices. For Hamas and their supporters there has never been a more opportune time for Hamas-affiliated anti-Semites to plant seeds of doubt about Christian sympathy for Jews.

Peloni:  While the nuclear program drew most of the attention regarding the threat from Iran, its ballistic missile program represents an existential threat of its own.  Given this fact, it is important to recognize that this, in addition to Iran’s nuclear program, which must be addressed in dealing with the threat from Iran.  Despite this fact, the US negotiations with Iran, ever destined for failure, have inexplicably never included any discussion regarding the missile development program, leaving it to Israel to deal with, as Fitzgerald explains below.  Notably, the continued pursuit of developing missiles with an ever greater range, is not a threat targeting Israel, as its main target for this is actually America…

Most of the coverage of both the Israeli and the American attacks on Iranian military targets last June focused on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, which was the most worrisome part of Iran’s preparations for a future assault on Israel. But in an interview with The Times, Israel’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Oren Marmorstein, noted at that time that there was almost equal worry about Iran’s ballistic missile program, which even without nuclear warheads was presented a great threat to Israel, and to Western Europe as well, for the intercontinental missiles Iran was building could reach London. More on Iran’s ballistic missile threat to Israel can be found in this article from shortly after the attacks: “Iran was stockpiling missile arsenal that could reach Europe, FM spox. says,” Jerusalem Post, June 29, 2025:
