“We love death like our enemies love life.”

Daniel Greenfield | August 1, 2024

After attending the inauguration of Iran’s new president among the festive chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh found death waiting for him. 

“We always shout: ‘Death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration,’” Haniyeh had claimed. 

The Hamas billionaire who lived in luxury in Qatar hadn’t actually wanted to die, but he should have been careful what he wished for before the missile granted him the death he cheered for.

U.S. forces conducted a self-defense airstrike against Iran-backed terrorists in Iraq on July 30, according to U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Washington Post. According to Reuters, citing Iraqi police and medical sources, the United States targeted a base south of Baghdad, killing four fighters and injuring an additional four. The base is used by Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) — an Iraqi state-sponsored paramilitary network that was originally formed to combat ISIS but has been coopted by Iran and now contains multiple Iranian-backed militias that oppose the United States and Israel.

Peloni:  The obvious implication of this is that the elites are now treating their population in a manner which had once been reserved exclusively for pets and livestock are now.  So the question we must ask ourselves is whether we are to be considered as pets or livestock by these elites.  Such limited valuation of a subjugated people is a direct consequence of people who are ruled by arbitrary power rather than thru the consent of the governed.

Quietly and without press attention, in the last ten years most governments of the world have started requiring that dogs be microchipped. The chip contains information on vaccine records and health generally, along with owner information including phone number. Most people have complied and there is no organized movement against it. It has become a common practice over 10 years, and enforcement is constantly tightening.

Peloni:  America has become the greatest sponsor of terror in the world, thru the billions of US dollars which it is knowingly passing to Iran and its proxies. The US has been fast tracking funds to terrorists thru Iran and Lebanon and Gaza, even more openly since the October 7 Massacre. They have simultaneously held Israel in obeisance, restraining them from properly responding to the ongoing assault of over 7000 missiles over the past 9 months. This sponsorship of inhumanity and barbarity by the ‘leader of the free world’ must come to an end.

• Since October 7…. the total of US taxpayer funds donated to Gaza as a reward since the massacre on October 7 to $896 million, or close to a billion dollars.

Peloni: The obvious question which comes to mind is how much the Big Guy received for this latest surrender to terrorists by the current terror sponsoring American regime.

The Biden-Harris Administration has done the unthinkable: they’ve agreed to a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11th attacks, and two of his accomplices.

23 years ago, America watched in horror as thousands of innocent Americans died. America… https://t.co/r8f1afkRKm

The Biden regime’s non-response – and why it’s so troubling.

by Robert Spencer | August 1, 2024

To hear the establishment media tell it, the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has brought the world perilously close to a full-scale war in the Middle East and maybe even a world war. In this hour of crisis, one would expect America’s leaders to be way out front, working energetically to protect the American people, our allies, and American interests, trying to calm the international situation. Instead, the episode has once again raised the question: who exactly are America’s leaders?

T. Belman. How the hell did Qatar Secret Service, hear of this.

JaFaJ INTELLIGENCE   July 31, 2024

1. Summary: Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh- Haniyeh who was assassinated on July 31, 2024 in Tehran, was “warned” by Qatari State Security in late June about an imminent assassination plot. This warning was conveyed by a Qatari Royal family member who hosted him in Doha. Haniyeh was informed that Israel intended to assassinate him, regardless of political or diplomatic repercussions, even if he were in Qatar. Despite reassurances of safety from the Qatari government, Haniyeh travelled to Iran, believing the threat of Iranian retaliation would deter Israel from attacking him there.

2. JaFaJ has learned from Arab Gulf sources, that Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh was already aware of an assassination plot against him. The source confirmed that the Qatari State Security agency warned Haniyeh in late June about the imminent danger.

Peloni:  This was a monumental day with twin victories being scored in two previously thought safe havens!  The Iranians and their minions are all right now checking the sky above them to see if there is possibly an F35 just out of view about to take them out.  A day well spent!

The combination of grit, ingenuity, and capability that the Israelis have demonstrated in the last couple of weeks is a thing to behold. Under pressure, simultaneously, from the Americans, Iranians, Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah to capitulate they said, “No, All of you should…

The Biden administration appears to have forgotten the Marine Barracks bombing.

Even as the Biden administration scrambled to protect Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terror group, from an Israeli response after its rocket targeting a soccer field killed 12 kids, the Islamic terror group has an ugly history of killing Americans.

“The worst part for me is that nobody remembers,” Mark Nevells said last year on the anniversary of the Hezbollah bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut.

A Marine had thrown his body in front of the truck to try stop the vehicle and afterward for five days, Nevells and other Marines had dug through the rubble for the bodies of the men they had served with.

For Israel, the only successful outcome of military conflict with Iran would be a tangible reduction of Iranian nuclear war fighting capabilities and intentions.

Prof. Louis René Beres | Jul 29, 2024

“Into the eternal gloom, into fire, into ice.”Dante, Inferno

As matters stand presently, it would not be in Iran’s interest to use NNEMP (non-nuclear EMP) weapons. This is because Israel could mount a higher level EMP (an NEMP) retaliation. In strategic terms, therefore, Israel is in a clear position for “escalation dominance” because Iran is still pre-nuclear.

• What is insupportable is that Harris completely ignored that the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip are suffering because of a war initiated by Hamas. She could have done many Palestinians a favor had she called on Hamas to relinquish control over the Gaza Strip and stop using its people as human shields in its Jihad (holy war) against Israel.
• Harris seems not to know or to have forgotten — either is not excessively impressive — that on October 6, 2023, there was a ceasefire in place between Israel and Hamas. Hamas broke it.
