Ben Gvir’s Temple Mount Visit Raises a Larger Question  

Peloni:  There is no basis in reason or rationale which would support the application of antisemitic laws in the Jewish State, and make no mistake, all that Ben Gvir is advocating is that this antisemitic prohibition specifically for Jews be finally and completely rescinded.  The status quo is and has been a policy which demeaned Jews in their own homeland, in their ancient capital, and by their own govt.  Such villainy is unseemly as it remains unjust and unjustifiable.  End the Status Quo, and allow the Jews to go where they like and pray as they like, and let the Americans pound sand.

Jews can pray where they choose in London, New York, Buenos Aires, or Sydney — but not in Jerusalem. The world is in an uproar after Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Temple Mount to mark the solemn Jewish fast day of Tisha B’Av. Critics say that Ben Gvir disrupted the carefully-crafted status quo in Jerusalem — and even broke with the policy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Ben Gvir says that he has the authority to assert his own guidelines.

The Devil wears Pravda…  

Tierney’s Real News, August 15

The data is out. American taxpayers currently pay a total of $451 BILLION per year to provide housing, food, medical and other welfare benefits for illegal immigrants.

That amounts to an average of $5,782 per taxpayer HOUSEHOLD – each year – or roughly $500 per month.

THERE’S NOTHING CONSPIRATORIAL ABOUT THIS – IT’S MATH. American citizens are paying to replace themselves.

The Decline and Fall of RFK Jr.?  

By John F. Di Leo, AM THINKER

For months, election-watchers have wondered: will Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. make it onto enough states’ ballots to have an impact?  Will he have the money to run a real campaign?  And most importantly, who will he hurt more: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?

One thing most didn’t expect was what happened on Monday, August 12: he was bounced from the ballot in the state he grew up in, on a technicality.

Now, election law has always been full of technicalities, and some of us would argue that there’s nothing wrong with that.  Government is about compliance with the law, and if you’re too sloppy to comply on your very first responsibility — the paperwork that creates your candidacy — then arguably, you shouldn’t be in charge of writing, implementing, or enforcing the law.

Catch-22: Israel is not allowed to target Hamas anywhere  

Those who object to justified collateral damage and also to the accurate assassination of terrorist leaders leave Israel no option whatsoever to defend itself.

Walter E. Block | August 14, 2024

On July 27, 2024, Hezbollah caused the deaths of a dozen Druze children playing in a soccer field in the town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights. These tragedies resulted from an Iranian missile fired by this terrorist organization.

Iran is Helping the Kamala Campaign  

Peloni:  This is neither unprecedented nor should it be unexpected.  Foreign influence in the US elections is just part of the new normal which characterizes the need to expel the Uniparty and its corrupting practices.

The Mullahs create pro-Kamala site, hack Trump accounts, leak materials to media.

by 

With headlines like “Harris Surges Ahead: A New Era of Democratic Enthusiasm and Opportunity” and “Former Friend Exposes JD Vance’s Radical Transformation: A Study in Political Opportunism”, you might mistake NioThinker for another mainstream media outlet.

Only the occasional odd word choice and convoluted bit of grammar hints that the digital media site flowing with enthusiasm for Kamala and contempt for Trump isn’t really American.

In Your Face Marxism by Winken, Blinken and Nod  

By George Mcclellan, August 14, 2024

Guest editorial on www.standupamericaus.org

We have been continuously amazed by the nonsense from the mouths of Joe Biden, his VP Kamala Harris, and several weird cabinet officials. By the connivance of an inside ‘coup’ against Joe, the Democrat party has moved the election goalposts to retain power. They saw Joe’s re-election campaign DOA by November’s election. Instead of even pretending to move to the center, Democrats are moving full Left Wing radical, determined not to let Donald Trump stop their agenda to ‘fundamentally change America.’ Democrat politicians, including Uniparty-associated Republicans, have no loyalty to each other, significantly if one should deviate from the agenda. Joe did, so we can color him gone. He ‘blinked‘ once too often and couldn’t perform the tasks his masters expected of him to their satisfaction, so he had to go even if it was kicking and screaming.

Who is Running the USA?  

MG Paul E Vallely | August 14, 2024

(The Council)[1]

The Stand Up America US Foundation intelligence team has been deep-diving into “who is running the US Government”—the power team behind the White House curtains. Obama is the in-place leader who controls and directs the operations daily. The team (coordinated by Susan Rice) formulates Biden and Harris’s daily schedule, talking points, and policy statements. Also, the team liaisons with the communist democratic party to provide “The Talking Points of the Day” to the media and Wall Street supporters.

“The Council” and everything that stems from it has been in control of the United States for the past fifty years, with the sole purpose of siphoning our nation’s wealth. Our constitutional government and the federal workforce are designed to safeguard our wealth and the ‘public good’ of the American people. However, the Council’s mission is to crush and obliterate it.

New Revelations About Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb with Context  

Peloni: Don’t miss the comments at the bottom by Darren Beattie, who is responsible for most of the revelations to date on the Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb and Bomber.  This was all coordinated with the revelation of Pence’s decision to not send the electors to the states, a decision which was somehow known well in advance by Ray Epps and his collegues staging the riot at the capital, as well as the perpetrators who staged the planting and discovery of the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters.

Off grid: How does Yahya Sinwar lead Hamas from underground?  

“Sinwar is said to no longer trust electronic communications, fearing that the Israeli army will discover his location and kill him,” the report said.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | August 13, 2024

Yahya Sinwar highlighted in a video published by the IDF on February 13, 2024 (photo credit: IDF SPOKESPERSON’S UNIT)

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is isolated in Gaza but is still communicating with Hamas fighters and with the Hamas leadership in other parts of the Middle East. This must be true in order for Sinwar to have been elected as the new “political” leader of Hamas, replacing Ismail Haniyeh. New Arabic media articles have focused on this question.

Will Israel restore security to the north?  

Enia Krivine | August 14, 2024

After multiple reports that Iran and Hezbollah will strike Israel in a matter of hours or days, the White House, the Kremlin and other regional actors are working overtime to convince Tehran and its proxies to stand down.

But for Israel, this may be the moment to deliver a decisive blow to its adversaries that will restore security and prosperity to the citizens of Israel’s north. The United States must make clear that it will support any Israeli counteroffensive.

Biden Admin Demands Jews Stop Praying at Site of Temple  

Peloni:  It is outrageous that the policy restricting Jews from praying at the Temple Mount was ever instituted, but even more reprehensible is that this policy has not been repealed in the subsequent 57 years, and that the totalitarians in Washington believe that their imperial edicts should be binding in Israel on the Jewish people.  Ben Gvir was right to give his support in changing the antisemitic status quo over which the otherwise diversity-obsessed Dems obsess so strongly.  Whereas Ben Gvir does not speak for the current govt in Israel, I suspect that he is expressing the position of a future govt in Israel.  Let us hope that this is so.

In all of the pretense that this war has something to do with “human rights” in Gaza and not an Islamic religious war against a non-Muslim minority group, there is an awkward fact that has to be talked around.

Replacing Zelensky: Does It Matter?  

Peloni:  Avakov was known as the permanent minister, as he was the lone minister to remain in power as all other members of the govt were changed out, even as Poroshenko was replaced by Zelensky, serving almost 7 1/2 years in the powerful position of Interior Minister.  It ways hoped that when Zelensky finally did replace Avakov, in July 2021, that it was a signal to move the Ukrainian regime towards a peaceful resolution with Russia, but that hope lasted only a very short time.  It should be recalled that it was Avakov who formed the Battalions such as Azov , just as it was Avakov who later brought the Battalions into the Army as distinct units rather than disbanding or integrating them instead.  Avakov’s close pre-Maidan association with Andriy Biletsky, the founder of Azov and the Azov movement, led to him promoting and protecting Azov throughout his lengthy term in office.  If Zelensky is removed by the West, his replacement with Avakov should be understood to be a complete surrender to the most radical elements of the Nationalist-Nazi regime in Kiev.  Hopefully this is not the plan which the West has in mind for Ukraine.

Zelensky, center left and Arsen Avakov, Center right in happier days (https://www.osw.waw.pl/en/publikacje/osw-commentary/2020-06-03/a-pillar-system-political-phenomenon-arsen-avakov)

Russia’s foreign intelligence service (SVR) says that the “west” is planning to replace Zelensky and will soon embark on a campaign to discredit himAllegedly the candidate to replace him, says the SVR, is Arsen Avakov.  He previously served as a Minister of Interior which in many countries is the organization that runs the country’s intelligence agencies (other than military intelligence which in Ukraine is placed under the military but mainly reports directly to the President). Avakov, according to the SVR, has strong links to European leaders and also to “nationalist” groups in Ukraine.

ABIM: “Follow the consensus, not the science. Saving lives is not a priority.”  

That’s the message ABIM is sending to physicians by revoking the board certifications of Doctors Marik and Kory. “Follow the consensus, not the science.” It’s about compliance, not saving lives.

Steve Kirsch  Aug 14, 2024
Executive summary

Today, the Washington Post gleefully reported the revocation by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) of the certifications of Paul Marik and Pierre Kory.

The message they are sending is clear: “All physicians must toe the line. If you disagree with the medical consensus, we will make it impossible for you to practice medicine for the rest of your life. We just don’t give a damn what the scientific evidence is or how many lives you save.”

Back to the Future IV: Strange theme on Iran hacking Trump campaign drops  

Funny stuff with computers is alleged. Earmarks not said to be involved.

J.E. Dyer, a retired Naval Intelligence officer, blogs as The Optimistic ConservativeAugust 2, 2024

Non sequiturs and elliptical misrepresentations are at the heart of this, which tells me there’s a narrative being spun.

It’s not clear exactly what’s in view, but Chris Krebs, former head of DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), weighed in on 10 August to place two specific narrative points that are probably clues.

First the theme.  The theme is being reformulated by the media; indeed, was instantly being reformulated as soon as the Trump campaign had been induced to utter words about Iran possibly having hacked Trump campaign documents.  This tweet I posted states accurately what happened:
