DEEP STATE INC. – A TALE OF TWO SCANDALS

Why Muslims “Become Radicalized” is No Mystery;  

The simple Reason is Jihad

Dr. Norman Berdichevsky

Our media and government have essentially promoted an ignorance of what motivates Muslims to undertake violent acts preferring to focus on their individual problems of being marginalized in Western societies and subject to discrimination, estrangement due to their inability to integrate or be successful. Abroad, the picture is unequivocal with scenes of beheadings and (censored for tv), whippings, death by stoning and the 8th century formula of convert or die actually enacted before our eyes in. This is Jihad in action – witness  Hamas, Hizbollah, Islamic State (ISIS), Islamic Jihad, Boko Haram, al-Shabab, Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood – by whatever designation it is Jihad in action –whatever the arcane rivalries between Shia and Sunni – you shall know the tree by its fruit. Jihad has always been a call to arms, invoked, by sultans, caliphs, and local inspired demagogues at every level of the Muslim religious hierarchy.

In the International Arena there is no Rule of Law, only the Rule of Power  

Peloni:  Ted’s important analysis below regarding the Rule of Power has stirred some important commentary among the comments at the bottom.  Please take the time to read them.  The commentary section here at Israpundit has always been an important area of learning and revelation and we can boast of many important perspectives shared among the bloggers which are both well considered and well argued.  This is certainly evident in the comments discussed below this article.

Israel’s title deeds to the land west of the Jordan R. are of no value unless she has the power to protect them

The US State Department and the UK Foreign Office ignored those rights in the thirties and forties and instead promoted the Arab cause and continued to do so after Israel’s Declaration of Independence.

By Ted Belman    June 24. 2024

I recently critiqued an interview of Prof Jeffrey Sachs by Judge Napolitano on US policy  with respect to Gaza.

The Judge started out by referring to ”the slaughter that was going on in Gaza”. How can he be so ignorant? It has been proven repeatedly that there is no slaughter or genocide in Gaza. In fact, Israel has the lowest kill ratio of any war previously by a factor of at least five.

Surprisingly he spoke respectfully about Ben Gvir and Smotrich. Read more…

Why Can’t the Dwarfs Defeat Gulliver?  

See Translation below Tweet

Translation:

Yossi Baum | Sept 12, 2024

The illusions of the left and their detachment from reality are heart-wrenching. The inferiority of the ‘heads of the democratic liberal camp’ compared to Netanyahu is due to their failure to present an alternative security-political strategy to Netanyahu? Is this the difference between the lion and the mice?

Let me clarify:

J Street is Both Wrong and Out of the Mainstream  

By: Moshe Phillips |  Sept 10, 2024

There’s no question J Street is far outside the mainstream of the Jewish community. But does that mean its views are mistaken?

On the eve of his recent visit to Cleveland, J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami told reporters there that it’s a “common misconception” that his group is “outside of the mainstream.”

It’s All A Ruse  

by Paul E Vallely, MG, US Army (Ret) & Ray DiLorenzo | Sept 7, 2024

“Deception is one of the quickest ways to gain little things and lose big things.” Thomas Sowell

The Democratic Party is conducting another ruse on America. In modern politics, this trend began with Obama, although some would argue that it began with Clinton. They tried hard with Hillary. They succeeded with Biden with the help of a late-night pause in counting to make ‘adjustments’. Now, they have united to promote Kamala Harris as the savior of democracy, presenting obscure policy statements that they hope you will perceive as beneficial. Never mind that she had a firm hand in our economic and border-collapse.

It is total deception, another trick on the good people of this country. They are again trying to fill the executive mansion with operatives instead of public servants.  They talk and usually scream, “Democracy, democracy,” but that is a distraction, a way to distract your attention from what is happening. What is going on is a concerted, coordinated effort to destroy this country as it was founded.

Pro-Hamas Islamists Win the Most Seats in Jordanian Elections  

T. Belman: Ignore this story. It is an attempt by the king to prevent his ouster by the Jordanian Army supported by the US, the UK and Israel. It will very short lived.

Ahmad Sharawi | September 13, 2024

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic Action Front (IAF) secured 31 of 138 seats in Jordanian parliamentary elections on September 10, the most of any party. The IAF achieved its best result in 35 years by emphasizing its support for Hamas and capitalizing on economic distress in Jordan, where the official unemployment rate stands at 21.4 percent.

The elections were the first since the passage of the 2022 electoral law, which reserved 41 seats for political parties in a bid to strengthen the party system and enhance participation. The IAF won 18 of the reserved seats, while no other party won more than four. Overall, the pro-establishment National Charter party secured second place with 21 seats, while the similarly aligned al-Eradah claimed 19. Voters also elected 39 independents. Turnout stood at 32.5 percent, an improvement from 29 percent in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, though still lower than the 36 percent turnout in 2016.

Tierneys Real News | Sept 14, 2024

For example, BlackRock invested in Communist China to win the AI revolution. However, as it turns out, they will not win AI – so BlackRock is scrambling to change direction and fix their mistakes.

BlackRock invested in Communist China to create materials for electric vehicles (EVs) and green energy (windmills and solar panels) – but as it turns out the consumer doesn’t want EVs AND massive amounts of energy are required for AI and bitcoin mining (which windmills and solar panels can’t begin to provide) – so BlackRock is scrambling to change direction and keep their profits.

Key Swing State Supreme Court Rules Mail-In Ballots With Flawed Dates Can’t Be Counted  

T. Belman: EPOCH TIMES reported on this decision and said,

“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a decision on Sept. 13 that upholds a requirement in the key battleground state that voters must include accurate dates on the exterior envelopes of their mail-in ballots for the votes to be counted.

Peloni:  There are many important victory which will mark a difference between the presidential elections of 2020 and 2024.  One such victory was the return of some degree of freedom of speech to Twitter on which open debate on the relative topics is routine.  Another such victory is the important judicial ruling discussed below.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a ruling Friday that will allow mail-in ballots without accurate dates on their return envelopes to be thrown out.

In late August, a Pennsylvania state court halted the enforcement of requiring voters to include accurate, handwritten dates on submitted mail-in ballots, according to CBS News. However, the state’s Supreme Court, in a 4-3 vote, has now reinstated the requirement as two Democrats on the high court joined both Republicans to vacate the Commonwealth Court decision, according to the court documents.

The announcement came as Israel faced off against increasing attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon. While the IDF has reduced the Hamas threat and cements control of Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor in southern Gaza, Hezbollah is launching dozens of rockets and drones at northern Israel.
