Four recent reports call for major new investments in US defense spending, completion of the current nuclear deterrent modernization effort, and also recommend, given the projected rise of military power by America’s enemies, that the US add serious new nuclear capabilities to its deterrence.

Peloni:  Election Fraud is the ultimate loss of liberty, as it eliminates the power of the people, and changes the government of the governed into the government of whomever is Selected to rule the governed.  This is how tyranny is established in a free society.  Once you come to appreciate that this is the new reality in which we live, much of the aberrant and inexplicable frightening happenings  which have taken place over the past decade begins to be far less inexplicable, even as they remain entirely aberrant and evermore frightening to contemplate.

It was by weaponizing our values and emotions that our governments imposed the COVID lockdowns, which abolished fundamental liberties and plunged 150 million people into extreme poverty.

Peloni:  The war on religious freedom which has been ongoing in Minnesota under the unkind leadership of Walz is important to understand.  The rampant disregard for such basic liberties was perhaps perceived to be an asset in the eyes of the radical Left which now controls the Dems.

MG Paul E Vallely | August 8, 2024

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of infringing on religious liberty during his six years as Minnesota governor.

Walz encountered legal challenges for COVID-19 lockdown policies that religious organizations argued were discriminatory, placing stricter requirements on churches than businesses. After signing a law that stripped faith-based schools of funding for a program offering high school students free college credits, he also encountered pushback.

Peloni:  The contrast between the truth and the fiction being past as truth is important to reflect upon, but so too is it essential to understand that Israel’s enemies are less deterred from the deliberate slaughter of Jews when threatened with such morality as is being celebrated in Israel’s pulled punches.  Unlike the tens of thousands of Israelis who have fled the possible repeat of the October 7 Massacre, Israel’s enemies await to be informed where they should go to avoid dealing with Israel’s wrath.

By Hugh Fitzgerald | August 10, 2024

We have already heard this conclusion — that the IDF is “the most moral army in history” — from both Colonel Richard Kemp, who commanded British forces in Afghanistan, and from West Point Professor of Urban Warfare John Spencer. Now the High Level Military Group, which is made up of retired chiefs of staff, senior generals, and cabinet ministers from NATO countries, have issued their own report on how the IDF has been conducting its war in Gaza, and they too, have concluded that the IDF is “the most moral army in history.” The description of their study, and their conclusions, can be found here: “Israel’s army is not only moral. It is the most moral army in history.” Elder of Ziyon, August 9, 2024:

T. Belman. Watch this very important program. Mark starts out by giving a dissertaion on tolitarianism’s use of propaganda which he said is denying the truth and promoting lies. He points out how the main stream media employs it to gaslight the masses. He goes on to show all the ways the Biden administration is supporting Israel’s enemies with billions of dollars and undermining Israel by handcuffing her and falsely accusing her.

He then interviews General Keane, who is totalling on Israel’s side. Keane explains how the administration is encouraging Israel’s enemies by her constant criticism of her actions. Tom Cotton is also interviewed and he too is a loyal friend of Israel. He tears into the real Pamela Harris. Not to be missed.

On December 22, 1942, just a year from the attack on Pearl Harbour, an ad was placed in The New York Times expressing the devotion and patriotism of loyal German-Americans to the United States, and their determined opposition to Nazi tyranny and the cold blooded extermination of the Jews of Europe and the barbarities committed against other peoples that was corrupting the soul of the German people expressed by the words “We utterly repudiate” every thought and deed of the Nazis. The authors not only proclaimed where they stood, they asked to know where the readers of the declaration stood. The declaration was signed by 48 prominent German-Americans including Babe Ruth. The ad also bore a portrait of Jesus with a crown of thorns.

Could any declaration have been clearer? Nothing was left in doubt. Yet, since September 11, 2001 no such statement or hint of total repudiation of the extremist Jihadist philosophy of radical Islam has been forthcoming by any recognized Islamic body, community or acknowledged leader in the United States. Many Muslim “leaders” continue to sidestep the issue, pretending it does not exist, claiming Jihad refers to an internal struggle of conscience.

Peloni:  We need to change the paradigm from one which is reminiscent of the Yom Kippur War to one which is more akin to the Six Day War:  Strike hard, strike first, and exact territorial penalties for making war on Israel.

Yale Zussman, PhD,  (MIT, Political Science)

The question of whether anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic has received much attention since the beginning of the current Gaza war, mainly from forces that seek to deny that their attitude toward Israel is basically racist.  The answer is more complicated than is generally acknowledged, reflecting the roles of “anti-Zionism” and “antisemitism” in the wider confrontation between cultures.

“Zionism” is both the belief that Jews have a right to govern themselves and the movement established to bring that about.  “Anti-Zionism” is the belief that Israel has no right to exist and should be destroyed, and thus that Jews should be denied a right accepted for all other peoples.  Definitions of antisemitism include having different standards for Jews and others, so, since there is no “ism” rejecting national claims for any other people, the belief that Jews alone should be denied the right to govern themselves is necessarily antisemitic.  The double-standard is blatant and undeniable.  That “anti-Zionist” activists offer this concept as justification for attacks on individual Jews indicates that even those who publicly deny the link accept it.  That this question is taken seriously is another example of the success Leftist sophistry has had in presenting their case for perpetual “revolution,” a.k.a. “globalizing the intifadah.”

Peloni:  The attack on October 7 has been too long held as a comparison to Yom Kippur.  With the decisive actions of the recent twin assassinations, Israel has changed the paradigm of one of response to one of initiative, and we have seen how that initiative has served to draw our enemies to hesitate when they should have already acted.  Israel must continue to maintain the initiative, and must not herself hesitate to follow one victory with another.  The momentum is ours to lose.  Let us not lose it.

Hezbollah failed to attack Israel on October 7, missing a chance to open a second front that could have been devastating for Israel; although there can be no surprise attack in the conflict, Israeli initiative could win the war

“In war, there is but one favorable moment, the great art is to seize it.” This quote by Napoleon remains one of the most fundamental principles of warfare to this day. Our adversary in the north had such a moment on the morning of October 7 but failed to seize it.

Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission.  All is not well in the old world.  There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.  We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This is not only a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself. It is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.  The United States was the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe.  Then, I will say a few things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

Joe Biden won in 2020 on the premise that until the November election, he would pose as good ol’ Joe from Scranton and not scare voters.

So Biden talked about “unity” and “competency.” He erased his prior wild primary pandering to left-wing voters about shutting down fracking and opening the border.

But as soon as he was elected in 2020, Biden became the leftist veneer for a hyper-radical Obama third term.

Peloni:  The mounting debacle at Kursk is proving to be a public humiliation for Russia which has the potential of changing the bargaining position of Ukraine, if they are able to meet the seemingly insurmountable possibility of hold Kursk for the next several months.  Yet for Ukraine to be able to do so, it would require that Ukraine be able to hold newly won grounds with no defensive entrenchments in a better fashion than they defended territories which they had prepared for defense over the course of a decade.  Hence, I would argue that Ukraine has little chance of holding these grounds for very long at all. In any event, time will tell how harmful this humiliation will prove for Russia, but even if Ukraine proves to be more resourceful at holding Russian lands against the Russian forces than it did at holding Ukrainian lands, it will only mean that Ukraine will lose the war on better terms – not an inconsequential goal of course for a country ready to accept its defeat, but as I noted, time will tell if even this limited goal is somehow miraculously achieved.

A Ukrainian Gamble for peace negotiations?

Stephen Bryen | Weapons and Strategy | August 9, 2024

The Russians got caught with their pants down in Kursk.  The Ukrainians pulled off a large-scale invasion using new tactics.  They advanced far into Russian territory, mostly unopposed, or countered only by some inexperienced territorial units.  They did it with drone power but not any other air power, mostly because they don’t have any (notwithstanding the symbolic F-16s which are based in Romania).

Russia has declared a Federal Emergency in the Kursk region.
