Justice Minister Yariv Levin declared he won’t recognize the election of new Supreme Court president Isaac Amit and vowed not to cooperate with him, further endangering the functioning of Israel’s justice system that is already stretched thin.

Peloni:  Qatar should have no leverage over American political elites, and the fact that they do presents a certain challenge for the Trump administration as its Mid East Envoy, Witkoff, was seen in the negotition of Israel’s Surrender Deal with Hamas to show reverence of, rather than contempt for, the Qataris, who should have been the target of US rather than Israel.

An alliance with the U.S. — specifically, a Major Non-NATO alliance — was once the most highly coveted relationship a nation could earn, a sacrosanct pact of mutual importance. But one such alliance is now a liability for both the U.S. and its long-time allies.

Qatar, our oil-wealthy “ally” in the Persian Gulf, is funding and harboring terrorists that not only threaten American forces but are attacking long-standing American allies. Worse yet, Doha believes this terrorist/ally balance is protected because the country hosts the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East.

A U.S. base should give America leverage with the country hosting it — it should not give leverage to Iran, in the case of Iraq; and it should not give leverage to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in the case of Qatar.

The late Jimmy Carter didn’t come up spontaneously with the idea of giving away the Panama Canal, which America spent blood and gold on and which is an essential part of its national security. Instead, he had Robert A. Pastor, a communist, whispering in his ear.

“Our maniac reaction to every reproach—to accept responsibility as a people for every action of a Jew, and to make excuses in front of everybody including hell knows who. We demand the right to have our own villains, exactly as other people have them.” — Ze’ev Jabotinsky, 1911.

Part 1, Part 2

To Herzi Halevi’s generation, a Palestinian state is an article of faith. These Jews, indeed, do have a Devil. To their parents’ generation, that Devil was Prime Minister Menachem Begin; to theirs, it is Bibi. If they are still around after Netanyahu is gone, then the next leader who stands between them and submission to the Arabs will be the next Devil. They have already identified him, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and are trying to head him off at the pass.But all this is still only at the level of religion/ideology. Beneath that level is where the real fight takes place: between the ruling elite, mostly Ashkenazi, on the one hand, and the closest thing to citizens-in-arms, the IDF ground forces and their reserves, mostly Sephardi and Mizrahi, and mostly residents of Judea and Samaria, on the other.

Peloni:  It is both unfair, but also unwise, to make such a comparison between Ukraine and Israel.  The war in Ukraine should be ended, and it should have never begun, as a negotiated arrangement was always possible, and negotiations were in fact arranged a decade ago, even as the relevant parties in Ukraine and the West admit having betrayed the purpose of those negotiations, which ultimately led to war.  Meanwhile, the war in Gaza should have been ended a decade ago when Hamas launched its attack upon Israel in 2015, or even a decade before that when Gaza became the terror enclave of Hamastan.  as Schwaeber-Issan states, the border disputes in Ukraine are not what lies behind the onslaught of October 7, and if this war is not ended in Gaza, it will venture to foreign lands such as are taking root in Europe and America today.  Critical reasoning should be capable of discerning these facts.

Perhaps, even more than sealing the southern border and solving the inflation problem, U.S. President Donald Trump longs to preside over a war-free administration, where no conflicts are threatening to pull America into the fray.

Recently, Elon Musk has been at the eye of a storm of accusations of antisemitism, making a gesture that was/may be the same as/similar to the Nazi-like “heil Hitler” salute.

Musk, the world’s richest person, owner of Tesla, SpaceX, PayPal, Twitter/X, and recently appointed Administrator of the US Department of Government Efficiency, made the gesture as a warmup act preceding President Trump’s public signing of numerous executive orders immediately following his inauguration. Musk’s making waves and headlines surrounded in controversy is not unprecedented, but rather than extinguishing the flames, he poured fuel on the fire.

“Build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.”

Daniel Greenfield | Jan 26, 2025

The ‘Palestinians’ were a made-up people invented by Soviet propagandists during the Cold War. In reality, they’re Arab Muslim settlers, many of whom moved to Israel not that long ago. For example, the al-Husayni clan, who gave us Hitler’s Mufti and much of the ‘Palestinian’ Jihadist elite, moved to Israel in the 18th century. Yasser Arafat, the godfather of ‘Palestinianism’, came out of Egypt.

Peloni:  In making this statement, Trump has made both a seismic shift in policy as well as the greatest single move ever towards achieving actual peace in the region.  The Pals have been specifically and purposefully weaponized toward the rape, murder and pillaging of their Jewish neighbors, and the eradication of any remnant of the Jewish entity in the region.  Furthermore, they have been programmed, at the expense of Western funding, towards the butchery of Jews in general, making their emigration to any nation with even a small community of Jews into a act of supporting savagery…which makes Jordan and Egypt ideal localities to which the Pals might be contained, either short term or (hopefully) long term, as expressed by Trump in his statements.  Additionally, in moving to Jordan or Egypt, the Pals would find a like a minded population in these Israeli “peace” partner nations, which have seen fit to weaponize their own population with a similar programming of Jew Hatred, so the arriving Pals would represent little more than a similar sauce for the gander, so to speak.  Hence, Gaza should be emptied of its so called ‘innocent’ population, who are routinely employed as both human shields as well as new recruits for the Hamas ranks.  The forced containment of the population has been both an aberration of routine practices during war as well as a means by which Israel is routinely criticized for having to deal with the reality which has been leveraged against its defensive war with Hamas.  The problem lies in the fact that Abdullah fears the Pals who he keeps in a constant state of subjugation and squalor.  Additionally, the radicalized Pals living in Jordan and those coming from Gaza will need to be deradicalized, and Abdullah’s entire regime is tied to the radicalization of the Pals.  What Trump needs is the Jordan Option.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — 

President Donald Trump said Saturday he’d like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate.

During a 20-minute question-and-answer session with reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump also said he’s ended his predecessor’s hold on sending 907-kilogram bombs to Israel. That lifts a pressure point that had been meant to reduce civilian casualties during Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza that is now halted by a tenuous ceasefire.

Peloni:  I remember reading about Memoli 3 1/2 years ago, and his attempt to right the ship of insanity which had come from Project  Warp Speed.  The enthusiasm was of course short lived as his speech was barely covered in any of the Pravda state run media around the world.  In fact, the outcome following his hushed outcry was to see the marshaling of all resources to push forward with even more determination to have more shots in every arm, the youth, the babies, and even the pregnant women included.  We are now watching as unforeseen heart-attacks are now routine rather than rare, and obscure and unknown cancers are occurring with sudden onset and incredibly rapid growth as never experienced before.  So, while it may seem that we should say better late than never to have someone such as Memoli leading the research arm of the American medical bureaucracies, it is highly disturbing to read about the new Stargate program which will advance as a Warp Speed 2.0, unleashing a new mRNA variant upon the world while still ignoring the harms and tragedies which were put in place following Warp Speed 1.0 .  The injuries associated from the Covid shots are real, they are severe, and they need to be addressed as if the tragedies of the past might have a bearing upon the tragedies of the future.  Indeed, where is RFK, and why is he speaking about matters, though material, are far less relevant to his efforts to prevent another disaster as followed the rollout of the Covid shots.  Indeed, it would be refreshing to hear anyone speak about the elephant in the room, the adverse effects which seem should not be spoken, even as Warp Speed 2.0 is being brought online.  Are we to only learn of the medical tragedies possible with this latest boondoggle to PHARMA after it has been unleashed on an unsuspecting public as was done back in Dec 2020?  Perhaps Memoli could use his temporary position, tied to his reputation of being an honest advocate for rational dissent to speak about what the political appointees seem to be otherwise constrained from addressing at the moment.

Part of the sweep of government in the first days of the Trump administration has been a freeze on communications. The explosion has hit the whole of public health bureaucracies, which Trump personally blames in part for the meltdown of his previous term of president in his last year. The pause in operations is designed to figure out exactly what is going on.

Peloni: To be honest, I see Musk as being less moral than manipulative, but as I noted when he took over Twitter, we should thank him for his positive influence while recognizing the threat which his globalist interests and trans-humanist advocacy represents. Additionally, I worry about the influence which he is garnering within the US as the now sole nominee to head DOGE, while injecting himself in debates among nationalist movements around the world. I know that he is tied to Trump at the hip for the moment, and is using his charm and influence for all it is worth, but I will feel much at ease when the romance between the globalist Musk and the nationalist Trump is finally at an end, and, like the now eclipsed snake oil salesman Ramaswamy, Musk will be dropped overboard to re-balance Trump’s nationalist movement once again.

Linda Goudsmit:

Just as many disillusioned and disenfranchised Democrats have left the radical leftist Democrat party because it no longer represents their interests, there are many disillusioned and disenfranchised billionaires who have left their associations and affiliations with the globalist elite represented by the World Economic Forum, and the ignoble Klaus Schwab. There is a distinct and profound difference between the men and women entrepreneurs who build things and pursue their legitimate goals of expanding their wealth and business empires in a capitalist economy in the freedom of our constitutional republic, and those men and women whose objectives are to reorder the 193 sovereign nations of the world into one singular, binary, global Unistate of rulers and ruled––ruled by themselves. This is an essential philosophical and ideological distinction that cannot be overstated.

The last four years of the lawless Biden/Obama globalist puppet regime has exposed the totalitarian nature of the globalist Unistate. It is my opinion that men like Elon Musk have understood that they will lose their freedom, their wealth,their independence, and their agency in the dystopian Unistate. They have made the decision to follow their interests and support President Trump, because he is an American patriot who will protect and preserve American sovereignty, individual sovereignty, and the business interests of American entrepreneurs. Anyone who doubts the totalitarian nature of the globalist Unistate and its binary infrastructure of rulers and ruled, need only consider Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, the richest man in China who mysteriously disappeared for three months in November 2020 after making a controversial speech criticizing the Chinese financial system.

There is no freedom whatsoever in totalitarian societies. In contrast, freedom is the lifeblood of the entrepreneurial mind and entrepreneurial spirit in America. Freedom is the foundation of the American Dream and upward mobility which established the middle class (there is no middle class in totalitarian societies). Freedom is what made America great, and what will Make America Great Again (MAGA), provided we are commited to Making America Moral Again (MAMA). I bring this up because it is the morality of the Judeo-Christian tradition that supports freedom and the entrepreneurial spirit. It is my opinion that Elon Musk, whatever his faults, has demonstrated the most essential morality of all––the unapologetic determination to protect the innocence of children––which puts Elon Musk philosophically and ideologically in diametric opposition to the entire globalist Unistate enterprise. Musk is already the richest man in the world, and his actions in support of Tommy Robinson have demonstrated to me that Elon Musk is not interested in becoming the master of the universe in a world slaves––that ambition belongs to the depraved, debauched, western globalist elite represented by the WEF in Davos.

Linda Goudsmit

Globalism’s war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The overall attack strategy is to destabilize and destroy both the morality provided by our Judeo-Christian infrastructure, and the individualism protected and preserved by our Constitution.
