E. Rowell:  Klatzkin describes the problem inherent in appeasing a nation led by psychopaths.  However our current day appeasers are also psychopaths.  Their actions are cold calculations for personal benefit only.  They have not the slightest concern for the well being of others, including their countrymen.  Israel’s space for existence lies between two psychopathic nations, that of Iran and her proxies, and that of the current government of the US.

To recognize appeasement, it’s best to learn from a master.

One must not mistake Neville Chamberlain for a Nazi. He wasn’t. His antisemitism was that of T. S. Eliot — an offended sensibility, a mild disgust at there always being some untidy trouble attending them. He was a prim Englishman who dressed the part of the aristocracy, but who was more of an accountant than a man of leisure and noblesse oblige. He was secretive and manipulative when in power; he was easily threatened by brilliance and outspokenness, separately, and doubly threatened when both qualities were combined, to excess, in Winston Churchill.

Jews are allowed to center ourselves, love ourselves, celebrate ourselves, and remember who we are.

Two years ago, I had a life-changing Passover experience.

I was invited to attend my first modern-Orthodox Seder (Passover ceremony) with none other than Mayim Bialik in attendance — replete with Passover-themed Jewish “Jeopardy.” It was pretty iconic.

Why was this night different than all other nights? For many reasons, not the least of which being that I was raised Reform Jewish, and none of my Seders ever had this kind of spirituality, insight, contemplation, or grounded celebration of Jewish tradition. It was a turning point in my relationship with Judaism.

President Biden and others claim that President Trump incited the Capitol Riot, falsely described as an  “insurrection,” on January 6, 2021.  This belief explains Colorado’s failed attempt to remove Trump’s name from the ballot because he is an “insurrectionist,” as well as a national YouGov poll that found that 54% of Americans approved of the Colorado action.  It is now used as a justification for Biden to refuse to debate Trump.  This claim remains a serious problem — not only for Trump, but for obtaining an accurate history of what happened on January 6.

A rational evaluation of Trump’s words and actions, and other factors, demonstrates that this claim is nonsense.

The Biden administration is slated to announce sanctions against the IDF’s Netzah Yehuda battalion for alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank, the Axios news site reported on Saturday. It would be the first time the US has ever taken such a step.

E. Rowell:  Ukraine was set up by Obama-Kerry-Biden-Nuland to serve as a major money laundering hub for US political and financial elites.  In addition the goal of arming Ukraine was an attempt to undermine Putin, cause regime change in Russia, and strip Russia of energy resources.  Putin refused to roll over.  Even though it is impossible to win the war in Ukraine, military contractors make money whomever wins or loses. Billions of printed and taxpayer money must be spent in order to create profits for billionaires while the US economy is in danger of an explosion of debt and debt service. Americans suffer under ballooning prices for everything.  It is a satanic plan for US destruction, carried out by the US Congress.

In Conservative Conference in Globalist Belgium, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán Torches EU Leadership, Calls for Change

There’s really no surprise in learning that Belgium’s government has gone full authoritarian by repeatedly targeting a Conservative conference taking place in Brussels, going as far as shutting down a day of events with a ridiculous excuse in the middle of UK’s Nigel Farage’s speech.

New language could make almost anybody with access to a WiFi router help the government snoop.

At press time, the U.S. Senate is debating whether to not only renew the U.S. government’s spying powers under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) but dramatically expand them. That’s because the House, in reauthorizing the expiring powers last week after an extended battle, adopted language that broadens the definition of those who can be forced to help the government snoop. That leaves the Senate as the last check on already controversial legislation that just became more dangerous before it’s signed by a president eager to exercise its power.

With the world’s attention riveted on the stunning aerial clash between Iran and Israel, it is easy to lose focus on Gaza. But the war there remains unresolved.

President Biden supported Israel against Iran’s April 13 drone and missile barrage. U.S. military forces even shot down some of the Iranian weapons fired at Israel.

E. Rowell;  Biden said he told Netanyahu “not to move on Haifa.”  Is he the decision maker?   If a US President is non compos mentis, how can someone not elected and not even willing to show him or herself to the public have the powers vested in them by the Constitution that are vested in an elected President?  And if they do not have the executive power and privilege of the elected President, aren’t they taking control over the government illegally, as in a coup?  If so, aren’t they committing treason?  How can other heads of state negotiate with a President who has difficulty knowing where he is or what he is supposed to do?  How can they determine a course of action vis à vis the US when the President is being led and instructed by individuals who insist upon staying hidden and making decisions in stealth and secret?

The U.S. posture in this war has rattled Israel and the U.S.’s Sunni allies to their core.

Three reports published since Iran’s April 13 combined missile and UAV assault on Israel stand out for what the tell us about the nature of U.S. policy in relation to the war.

First, on Sunday Reuters reported that Turkey mediated between Iran and the United States to agree on the size and scope of Iran’s assault on Israel before Iran carried it out. A Turkish diplomatic source told the news agency that, “Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel…[and] Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be ‘within certain limits.’”

Historically speaking, he’s even a bigger deal than you may think.

April 19, 2024 by Bruce Bawer, FPM

On June 16, it will be nine years to the day since Donald Trump rode down that golden escalator in the Manhattan tower bearing his name and announced his candidacy for president of the United States. During those nine years, his name and image have dominated not just American political discourse but the entirety of American culture, and even world culture,  in a way that may well be without precedent in the entire history of the Republic. Yes, the name and image of Franklin D. Roosevelt loomed over the country during his twelve years in office, just as the name and image of Abraham Lincoln were ubiquitous during his four-year presidency. But FDR’s centrality was wrapped up in the Great Depression and, then, World War II, and to think of Lincoln is to think, first and last, about the Civil War. By contrast, Trump’s predominance is in one sense just about Trump himself – Trump as symbol – and in another sense about something even larger than the colossal historical events associated with FDR and Honest Abe.

Peloni:  In a sea of madness, Tommy Robinson has presented a clear voice of sanity, heralding the Western world to recognize the war which they are losing and the nature of the evil to which they are capitulating.  May he go from victory to victory as he continues to fight the scourge of Jihad which has infected the West, and may his enemies never succeed in silencing him.

His 1945 address to American troops drew a lasting connection between the Passover story and the nation’s consciousness

by Stuart Halpern, Tablet    April 19, 2024

With Hamas still holding Israeli hostages and global antisemitism rampant, as Jewish families sit down to read the Passover Haggadah this year on Monday evening, April 22, the passage “in every generation, there are those who rise up to destroy us” will no doubt be particularly resonant. While most Jews are aware that the phrase—like the phenomenon of Jew-hatred it describes—is centuries old, few fully appreciate the role the Passover story has played in offering Americans of all backgrounds comfort and inspiration during difficult times. The Haggadah, in fact, has long been America’s guidebook for liberty.

At 5 p.m. on March 26, 1945, in Washington, D.C., Vice President Harry S. Truman addressed the annual Passover service at the Jewish Welfare Board during WWII. The speech, broadcast to the Jewish men and women in the Armed Forces, praised both the miracle of Jewish historical survival and the contributions of Judaism to the West. It encapsulates how the story of the Exodus has left an indelible imprint on the American consciousness.

Peloni:  As more details are emerging with regards to the how the 20202 and 2022 elections were rigged, Mike Benz explains how the US govt was weaponized against its own citizens by turning outward facing tools of coercion inward to target the American people.

He explains that the use of artificial intelligence tools was employed by the foreign policy establishment (ie Blob) to develop a plan to create a censorship nerve center which could stop the rise of populist movements all across NATO.  The silencing of the voices of people like Le Penn, Salvanatti and Trump became a priority for the Blob because they feared that if they continued to lose elections, their long entrenched International Rules Based Order would collapse, making it an imperative to kill free speech on the internet.  A censorship capacity was created within the US State Dept in 2014 called the Global Engagement Center which used a Darpa platform to engage with Social Media to suppress specific narratives by way of artificial intelligence.  So in 2016, as NATO made its policy shift from “Tanks to Tweets”, this  they shifted the use of this Darpa developed technology began to target populist political groups instead of terrorists and criminals.

Among other details discussed by Benz is the effort by Obama to federalize the US elections, which was later reaffirmed under the Trump administration.  A must hear discussion as the 2024 elections are coming fast.

Israel has a moral duty to send Iran a message…a real message. How? By going after its proxy…Hamas. Opinion.

Smart move to keep the Mullahs guessing and in suspense. The rest of the world is also waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Or has it?

I am braced for the usual criticisms from Bibi-haters, and mine own accusers, but I will go on. First, though, some old business.
