Biden DOJ Strike Plea Deal With Julian Assange  

Peloni:  So what might Assange have given up to gain his freedom after all of these years and finally being within the ultimate control of the American Deep State?

Wikileaks Founder Released from London Prison Heading Back to Australia

Sundance | June 25, 2024

With an announcement of his departure from prison, many people are excited about the possibility of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange revealing information about the Obama/Biden surveillance state. I would urge everyone to temper those sentiments.

The Biden DOJ is a malicious leftist political targeting machine, with only one intention carried out with the Lawfare that underpins their mission. Main Justice, and especially the DOJ National Security Division within the DOJ, is the center of all corrupt justice operations.

Can Iran Be Coerced?  

By Jacob Olidort  Former Director of Research, JINSA

Israel, unlike the United States, has demonstrated its resolve to respond with force to each and every attack against it by Iran or its proxies. However, it is not just Israel’s willingness to use force that is noteworthy but its disposition to do so in a way that coerces and constrains Iranian power.

The United States should learn from Israel’s approach, particularly its April 19 strike inside Iran, and apply, together with Israel, a coercive strategy that seeks to constrain, degrade, and eventually collapse the Iranian regime.

The Biden administration has only recently come around to appreciate this approach when it took out an Iranian proxy commander in response to Iran’s January 28 drone attack that killed three U.S. servicemembers. Since then, Iran appears to have paused attacks against U.S. personnel. Up until that point, the United States had responded to Iranian proxy escalation by striking token weapons depots and killing low-level Iranian military bystanders, describing each response as “self-defense.” Unsurprisingly, those responses only encouraged Iranian escalation.

Netanyahu Must Make a Swift Decision on Hezbollah  

by Jonathan Spyer June 24/24

(Photo: Shutterstock)

Tensions on Israel’s northern border are currently at their highest point since the outbreak of hostilities in October last year. On Friday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said: ‘One rash move – one miscalculation – could trigger a catastrophe that goes far beyond the border, and frankly, beyond imagination.’

The latest reports indicate that the US has declared it will give Israel its ‘full support’ in the event of war with Hezbollah. This appears to go hand in hand, however, with an American determination to prevent any Israeli action which might precipitate such a war. So what is the current situation? And where are things heading?

Mike Benz: Big Tech Censorship: An Industry Developed by the Government  

Peloni:  Before watching this video, you might consider if you are ready to hear the truth.  Here are a few tests to answer that question:

“Behind who’s censoring what your children can read in K thru 12 schools is the head of the CIA, the head of the NSA, the head of the military, the head of NATO, the head of the State Dept and the head of DHS…”

“Once they got away with it for the 2020 election and Covid, they expanded this to climate, they expanded this to abortion, they expanded this to immigration, they expanded this to Ukraine.  Any dissident voice on any sensitive policy issue was deemed to be an attack on critical infrastructure if you expressed misinformation online about it… “

“When you say they, is it the Democrats or the Republicans?  It is the Empire rather than the Homeland.  It is the peoples whose jobs are in the managerial class of our international relations rather than those whose are in the domestic priorities of the homeland.”

“[Their agenda] is so much worse than [nefarious] because it actually ends the idea of America.”

“The Censorship Industry in this country was formed around the cover of Russiagate.  All the domestic censorship that was done around the 2020 election and for Covid 19 and for Climate issues and for abortion issues and immigration and Ukraine was laundered in thru that first predicate that Russia had rigged the 2016 election by all of its influence over US social media, and it is important to substantiate that that was a totally  unsubstantiated lie.”

Highly recommended viewing.

Biden has no answer to Hezbollah’s spreading threat  

By Hussain Abdul-Hussain

Amid increasingly violent cross-border exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and growing fears of a full-scale war, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah last week threatened to attack Cyprus if the Mediterranean island made its military bases available to Israel.

Washington has cautioned Israel against any escalation that might encourage other Iran-backed Shiite militias from Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria to join in, but that warning poses questions: What would the US advise European capitals to do if Nasrallah threatened them over any disagreements they might have with Tehran? And who will guarantee that Tehran, once it produces nuclear weapons, will not threaten to use them against Cyprus or the rest of Europe?

From the Battle of Badr to Military Defeat: Changes in Hamas Perceptions of the Gaza War  

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,288, June 25, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023 was quickly characterized by Hamas as fulfillment of a prophecy about the destruction of Israel. Hamas cast the invasion as a Palestinian version of the Battle of Badr, a battle in which a small force of Muslim believers under the command of the Prophet Muhammad succeeded in defeating a large force of Quraysh and Makkah who had opposed his prophecy. The battles of October 7 were labeled a divine victory by believers over the enemies of Allah, and many verses in this spirit were broadcast. However, more recent articles published on the Hamas website suggest that its view has undergone a transformation. Hamas has apparently shifted from extolling its “divine victory” on October 7 to admitting that it has been defeated in battle again and again. The great suffering Hamas has inflicted on the Gaza Strip has put it in the position where it must now explain to the Palestinian public why it started the war in the first place, why it did not expect a massive military response from Israel to its atrocities and attempt at genocide, and why the suffering of the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip is not in vain.

You Keep Using the Term ‘Authoritarian’  

Peloni: The authoritarians in Washington are terrified of losing their unconstitutionally adopted autocratic authorities. The greatest challenge to the Deep State’s hold on power is coming in November’s election, and they have made every effort, while still failing, to forestall the inevitable return of Trump to even participate in that election.  The balance of victory in November is all that stands between the continued rule of the unelected beaurocrats and the rule by consent of the governed.  This is why these coming months are likely to be more chaotic and more challenging than even what we have see thus far from the Deep State as they make every effort to preserve their beaurocratic choke-hold on controlling the American people.

Jeffrey A. Tucker. | June 24, 2024

You know the term “authoritarian.” You think you know what it means.

An authoritarian dad, boss, or government says: my way or the highway. They are forever barking orders and see compliance as the answer to all human problems. There is no room for uncertainty, adaptation to time and place, or negotiation. It’s ruling by personal dictate while tolerating no dissent.

To be authoritarian is to be inhumane, to rule with arbitrary and capricious imposition. It can also mean to be ruled impersonally by a machine regardless of the cost.

Trump has stepped out of an Ayn Rand novel, fully formed  

By Patricia McCarthy, AMERICAN THINKER
Fountainhead – noun as in principal source; person who originates – administrator, builder, creator, originator, leader….

Ayn Rand’s novel, The Fountainhead, published in 1943, has been read by millions of people over the years (37 million books sold).  The truncated film version, released in 1949, has been seen by millions of people as well.

Of course, the left has always hated Rand, her books and the films based on them.  Her philosophy is a celebration of individualism, a testament to gifted and talented men and women who are able to remain true to themselves in a world that reveres and celebrates mediocrity. Ayn Rand was born in Russia in 1905, and educated there; she was twelve years old during the Bolshevik Revolution.  She emigrated to the U.S. in 1926.

Wokism and the Military: Pete Hegseth’s The War on Warriors  

By Elise Cooper, AMERICAN THINKER

The War on Warriors. Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free by Pete Hegseth discusses the betrayal of those serving. He uses his own experiences, plus others who served, to show what is happening today. Hegseth is a co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, an Army veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and was also a guard at Guantanamo Bay. He holds two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge for his time in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The book talks about how the military brass are no different than the rest of our country emphasizing cultural chaos and weakness, how a woke socialist influence has removed essential core values. The book delves deeply into the political and cultural forces that have undermined the morale and effectiveness of U.S. armed forces, revealing the shocking truth behind the betrayal of the men and women who risk their lives to protect American freedoms.

A Hamas Mob Roamed an LA Neighborhood Attacking Jews  

Peloni: The deployment of these Jew-Hate bully brute squads to the streets of LA is yet a further evidence of the maliciously antisemitic posture accepted by the Democratic Party whose donors were knowingly responsible for financing the campus violence campaign over the past months.  The demonstration of the authoritarian credo “To my friends, everything, and to my enemies, the Law” should be a stark message to every Jew in America.  This is not about politics, it isn’t about Trump, it is about your safety and the survival of your loved ones.  The Jews of America are under threat, and those in the Democratic party which have been viewed to be either allies or benefactors or representatives have demonstrated that they are in fact the enemies of the Jewish people.  The Jews of America, regardless of their political views, must come to terms with this fact, regardless of how difficult it might be, and act upon it.

While it is good to see the Jewish community acting in its own defense on the streets, the American Jews must come to accept that they must do the same on the political field.  Failing to do so will only see such scenes as those below come about much more often with much greater consequences.

With the complicity of local Los Angeles authorities.

Daniel Greenfield | June 24, 2024

 

Some people are calling this a “pogrom”. It was at best a low-level riot against Jews by Islamic terrorist supporters and Antifa with the complicity of local Los Angeles authorities. I have an article with more to say about it, but the videos speak for themselves.

The target was Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) but the pro-terror rally spread out to two adjoining synagogues and then the violence spread out past Kosher restaurants, a Jewish school and to nearby residential streets on both sides of Pico Blvd in the Pico Robertson neighborhood where the Hamas rioters freely attacked Jews.

New York Times finds a Jewish conspiracy where none exists  

By Moshe Phillips

An Israeli cabinet minister whose responsibilities include supervising Israeli-controlled parts of Judea-Samaria has instituted a minor administrative change in those areas, a change that is permitted by the Oslo Accords.

So what’s the problem?

In a faux expose last week, the New York Times claimed to have uncovered a “stealthy” Israeli conspiracy to annex “the West Bank.”

The problem is it’s not stealthy, it’s not a conspiracy, and it only impacts the portions of Judea-Samaria that the Palestinian Authority (PA) agreed, at Oslo, can be run by Israel in any way it sees fit.

Five Alternatives for the Future of Gaza  

IDF Spokesperson

 BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,287, June 24, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In this article I will present five alternatives for the future of Gaza. Israel’s long-term strategy to ensure its continued existence entails the accomplishment of these goals: destruction of Hamas’s military capabilities, abolition of Hamas control in Gaza, and the preservation of good relations with the United States. Less core strategic considerations are the return of the abductees, the crisis on the northern front, relations within the region, and Israel’s legitimacy. The alternatives for Gaza’s future are: the Hamas option, which is the most problematic; the revitalized Palestinian Authority option; the military-civilian option, which seems the most balanced; the chaos option; and the sovereignty option, which is also very problematic. It is essential to conduct a far-reaching discussion on all these alternatives and to avoid attachment to any one of them.

In the Islamic Middle East, doctrinal antisemites have remained faithful to their most primal hatreds.  

Unyielding reality: why an Islamic Middle East rejects Israel

By LOUIS RENÉ BERES  JUNE 24, 2024 04:57

IRAN’S LATE SUPREME LEADER Ayatollah Ali Khamenei meets with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, last month. It doesn’t matter at all to Iran and Hamas if Israel agrees to political and territorial concessions, says the writer. (photo credit: Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader/West Asia News Agency/Reuters)

‘The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and kill them….”Sahih Muslim, Book 41, cited at The Charter of Hamas (1988)

Israel is loathed by its jihadist enemies because it is a Jewish state, not because it is Zionist. For these enemies, both state and sub-state, Israel is never more than the individual Jew writ large. It matters not at all to Iran, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, etc., if Israel agrees to political compromises and territorial surrenders. For these recalcitrant foes, Muslims are still obligated to “fight the Jews, and kill them…” For them, a Jewish state in the Dar al Islam (the world of Islam) – any Jewish state – represents an inherently intolerable abomination.

For the US to target Putin’s nuclear defences is reckless beyond belief  

By Rodney Atkinson, THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN – June 17, 2024

THE West’s Ukrainian proxy war against Russia continues to go badly with Russian advances on all fronts and big Ukrainian troop losses. Even worse, the most belligerent political leaders (Biden, Macron and Sunak) are losing votes at home. French President Macron lost extremely badly in the European elections, with Marine Le Pen’s National Rallygarnering twice as many votes as Macron’s Renaissanceparty. This led Macron to call a snap general election, and there is talk of his resignation if he does not win.

Israel and the U.S. Need to Get Tough on Egypt Cairo has turned a blind eye to Hamas’s tunneling and shipments of weapons over and under its border.  

T. Belman. The authors could have mentioned that weapons issued to the Egyptian army have been found on killed Hamas terrorists. They also could have mentioned Egypt’s refusal to allow refugee camps to be set up in Egypt was intended, among other things, to keep the Gazans bottled up uin Gaza

By Reuel Marc Gerecht June 23, 2024 2:08 pm ET

Antony Blinken has visited Cairo again. The U.S. secretary of state met with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on June 10 to talk about Israel, Hamas, hostages and the future of the Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian military, like Iran and Qatar, knows Hamas’s leadership well. This surely isn’t only because of proximity. Although neither Washington nor Jerusalem wants to say so, the Oct. 7 attack on Israel couldn’t have happened without the Egyptian army’s turning a blind eye to the shipment of arms and other materiel over and under the Egypt-Gaza border. Greed and anti-Zionist sympathies likely fed trade and ties between senior Egyptian officers and Hamas commanders.

Israeli and American officials long operated under the false assumption that the Egyptian army’s loathing of the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots—including Hamas—would keep in check the army’s corruption and anti-Israeli bias.

Israel and Europe’s Turn to the Right  

Good or bad for the Jewish state?

Hugh Fitzgerald | June 24, 2024

As Europeans have increasingly turned to the right, with the electoral victories of Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, of Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia in Italy, of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella’s National Rally in France, and of Alice Weidel’s Alternative für Deutschland in Germany, Israel should unembarrassedly make common cause with these leaders and parties, all of which have expressed stout support for Israel. The increased popularity of these parties is due mainly to their firm stance against continued Muslim migration into their countries, a stance that has caused them to be labelled, quite unfairly, as “far-right.”
