Who is Putin… and What if He is Gone?  

T. Belman. I asked Markovsky if he could write an article on Putin the “tyrant” or on how Putin made Russia Great Again.  He sent me this.

By Alexander G. Markovsky, AM THINKER Oct 31, 2022

Speaking in Poland in March 2022, President Biden declared, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”

Despite the White House’s denial, it is widely understood that the US policy is a regime change in Moscow and, by extension, the promotion of Western democracy in Russia. However, those who wish that Vladimir Putin would go away and work to that end must be aware that the gods often punish men by fulfilling their wishes too completely.

The Western folly is that Westerners measure Putin per their values. But Russia is different; one cannot understand Putin without understanding the Russian national character, which derives from more than a thousand years of history and embraces different values and ideals than those of Western Europeans and Americans.

The genocide case against Israel is an abuse of the postwar legal order  

By ROSALIE ABELLA   Jan 9, 2024

728 COMMENTS

Rosalie Silberman Abella is the Samuel and Judith Pisar Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada from 2004 until her mandatory retirement in 2021.

The International Court of Justice is about to hear arguments in a case, brought by South Africa – the country that in 2015 refused to send former Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir of Sudan to the International Criminal Court to stand trial for his contribution to war crimes in Darfur, and instead facilitated his return to Sudan where he continued his crimes – that alleges that Israel has not complied with the Genocide Convention and calls on the Court to order Israel to stop committing acts of “genocide” in Gaza.

It would be insane for Britain to ban arms sales to Israel  

E. Rowell: It is difficult, at times, to maintain one’s sanity in an insane world.  Difficult yes, but not impossible, as Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson points out.

The sooner we denounce the idea, the better

By Boris Johnson, DAILY MAIL    5 April 2024

There are claims of a Cabinet row amid suggestions Rishi Sunak and Lord Cameron might soon be prepared to take a tougher line against Israel/©wire image

If you want an example of the death wish of Western civilisation, I give you the current proposal from members of the British establishment that this country should ban arms sales to Israel.

If you want evidence of government madness, it appears that Foreign Office lawyers are busily canvassing the idea — which has not, as far as I can tell, yet been rejected by the Foreign Secretary himself. He seems to have gone into a kind of purdah on the subject.

Two Weeks to Flatten The Curve Became Eight Months to Change the Election  

E. Rowell:  It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the efforts herein described constituted a coup d’état designed to ensure a Biden victory through diverse forms of ballot fraud.

By BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE    1 April 2024

In 1845, Congress established Election Day as the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. The Act sought “to establish a uniform time” for Americans to cast their ballots for president. Historically, voters needed to provide a valid reason – such as illness or military service – to qualify for absentee ballots.

But Covid served as a pretext to overturn that tradition. Just 25% of votes in 2020 occurred at the polls on Election Day. Mail-in voting more than doubled. Key swing states eliminated the need to provide a valid reason to cast absentee ballots. The virus and racial justice became justifications to disregard verification methods like signature requirements.

When U.S. troops kill aid workers, it’s ‘friendly fire’. When Israel does, it’s a ‘war crime’.  

The double standards are nauseating

By Richard Littlejohn, DAILY MAIL    4 April 2024

ITN correspondent Terry Lloyd was killed in Iraq in 2003 after a U.S. soldier shot at the 4×4 vehicle he was travelling in that was clearly marked ‘TV’/Reuters

The call came through as I was leaving Twickenham after an England rugby international in March 2003. My old friend Terry Lloyd, the brilliant ITN correspondent, had been killed in Iraq.

He was on the outskirts of Basra, travelling in a 4×4 clearly marked ‘TV’. When the fog of war lifted, it was determined that the fatal shot had been fired by a U.S. soldier, who has never been identified. Terry’s translator also died and his French cameraman was missing, presumed dead.

Biden Exploits a Tragic Israeli Mistake

What happens if Israel does not go into Rafah? Look at Afghanistan  

The international community seems to have learned nothing from previous battles against jihadis

By Col. Richard Kemp, JEWISH CHRONICLE    3 April 2024

Humanitarian aid is dropped over the Gaza Strip as seen from Al-Shifa hospital after the Israeli military withdrew from the complex housing the hospital on April 1, 2024, amid the ongoing battles Israel and the Hamas militant group. (Photo by AFP) (Photo by -/AFP via Getty Images)

There is no doubting Israel’s spectacular military success so far in Gaza. I have been on the ground inside the Strip several times since the war began, and have seen first hand the remarkable combat actions of the IDF.

They have all but taken apart Hamas as a coherent fighting organisation, while doing everything in their power to minimise civilian casualties and working round the clock to get humanitarian aid to the Gazan population, which I have also witnessed.

Dominion Voting Machine Fraud?  

Peloni: Highly recommended 18min video. More context for the explosive report recently shared by Patrick Byrne regarding the Uppercut submitted to SCOTUS

WolvesAndFinance    March 31, 2024

There have been shocking developments in the court cases with Dominion voting machines. Dominion has been suing anyone who suggests that the company was involved in cheating in the 2020 election. Now, I do not want to be sued. So, I am going to be breaking down what has happened using Dominion’s own words. And we are going to answer the question, has Dominion committed fraud?

IDF withdraws division from Gaza, leaving no troops actively maneuvering in southern Gaza  

HAARETZ

The IDF says that the army’s 98th Division has left the Gaza Strip and that no troops actively maneuvering in the southern Strip.

The army explained the move as the outcome of the exhaustion of all intelligence and combat operations in the region, denying it is the outcome of a U.S. demand from Netanyahu.

An army official said that “the logic that leads us today is mistaken… We are willing to operate whenever we’re needed, but there’s no need for us to remain in the sector without an [operational] need… The 98th division dismantled Hamas’ Khan Yunis brigades and killed thousands of its members. We did everything we could there.”

Channel 14 Hater Replacing Ailing Head of Military Intelligence Research  

E. Rowell:  I hope Likud is working on a plan for cleaning the Augean Stables once the war is over.

By David Israel, JEWISH PRESS    4 April 2024

The head of research at the IDF Intelligence Division, Brigadier General Amit Sa’ar, is retiring after being diagnosed recently with a malignant tumor that requires immediate treatment, the IDF reported Thursday morning.

On March 13, Brigadier General Sa’ar declared he would retire from his post after the conclusion of the investigations into the negligence that led to the massacre of October 7, 2023. “As soon as the investigation is finished, the ones who will rebuild everything in military intelligence will be other commanders,” he said.

Now it appears that the IDF brass is hell-bent on replacing one conceptzia intelligence researcher with his doppelgänger.

Poynter’s Creepy ‘Fact-Based Expression’  

E. Rowell:  Mike Benz has done as much as anyone to reveal the “all of government” approach to creating a mercenary censorship army.  Private corporations, think tanks, NGOs, governmental agencies, and departments all work to staff this army whose job is to try to destroy the truth and the truth tellers.  Their goal is to end public debate and destroy freedom of speech.  Ultimately they hope to destroy the representative republic of the USA.  These are acts of treason.

By Thomas Buckley, BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE    5 April 2024

Fact-based expression.

That is what the once vaunted now openly vile Poynter Institute – a pivot point of the international censorship-industrial complex – wishes to “strengthen…around the globe.”

The Betrayal Papers  

E. Rowell: Despite the date of this video and report, if you watch the video you will see that it could have been made today.   The Biden Administration’s treatment of Israel is the fruition of years of efforts between post-world war II Nazis inside the CIA who joined with genocidal Islamists to bring us the US/CIA foreign policy of the late 1940’s to the present.  Formerly hidden from Americans, this foreign policy to strengthen Islamic terrorism at the expense of Israel and western civilization was made overt by Obama and Biden.

Where are the innocent Palestinians?  

E. Rowell:  This is an interesting discussion of the definition of innocence and the idea of responsibility for one’s emotions and actions.  An individual with genocidal aspirations or actions often justifies these through the feeling of being a victim of the other’s aggression.  Throughout the world, supporters of Hamas portray Palestinians as innocent victims of Israeli aggression, as they justify the barbarity of the crimes against humanity committed by Hamas.  But a psychological defense mechanism (i.e. projection) is not a legal defense in a court of law, nor should it be a legal defense in the court of public opinion.

History has presented the Palestinians with the same choice as the “ordinary German” during World War II.

By Saul Goldman, FUTURE OF JEWISH    5 April 2024

There is a difference between the presumption of innocence in a court of law and innocence or virtue in real life.

Significantly, the word “innocence” also connotes ignorance. So even in a court of law, innocence or ignorance cannot be one’s defense.

Biden is dreaming it’s like 1918, but Israel is fighting like it’s 1945  

By Gabriel Scheinmann and Michael Doran April 3, 2024

President Biden is calling for a World War I-style armistice for the war between Israel and Hamas, according to Post columnists Gabriel Scheinmann and Michael Doran.Getty Images

Washington is dreaming like it’s 1918, but Jerusalem is fighting like it’s 1945.

President Biden is approaching the conflict in Gaza with the mindset that ended World War I, while the Israelis are fighting with the spirit that transformed Germany 27 years later.

What’s the deal with the anti-Israel protests in Jordan?  

By Mudar Zahran, AM THINKER

Over the past few weeks, Jordan has witnessed anti-Israel protests — a little below 3,000 protesters at best, chanting Islamic slogans and support for the Palestinian terror group Hamas.  In this article, I will prove that the protests are staged by Jordan’s regime.

Abdullah II, the king of Jordan, known by Jordanians as “Ali Baba,” is fully allied with the Muslim Brotherhood.  He inherited this defiled marriage from his late father, so it is nothing new.  The Brotherhood is the Hashemite regime’s party just as much as the Baath party is Assad’s.  Abdullah has already acknowledged this in more than one interview with Western media — for example, with The Atlantic, to whom he said, “The Muslim Brotherhood is part of the system.”  The king’s shameless support of the Muslim Brotherhood is not a secret even to the English-speaking reader.  One does not need to look beyond the American Thinker to see the abundant evidence.
