The SAVE Act and election security  

Peloni:  The question which must be asked is why is it that this bill was not introduced when the Republicans took power after they took power, or at the very least after Speaker Johnson became Speaker of the House.  Is this a sincere effort to return power to the people, to restore the govt to being by the consent of the governed, or is it simple posturing, reminiscent of such Republican shenanigans as Lindsey Graham’s infamous claim that “we’re going to get to the bottom of this” as he actually got to the bottom of nothing?  It is a real tragedy, but an even greater crime, that so little has been done by the Republicans at any level, federal, state, national RNC, to reinvest the American people with their unalienable rights which have been stripped from them by an electoral system which obviates the will of the people.  What is needed to achieve this is not the Graham-like faux gesticulations, but the Trump-like substantive actions which made America great again.

Trump: We Have To Put America First!  

Peloni “There must be a complete commitment to dismantle the to the entire Globalist-Neocon Establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad while they turn us into a third world country and a third world dictatorship at home.  The State Dept, the Defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all of the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the Deep Staters and put America First.”

The UK Election. A Perspective.  

Peloni:  The devastation which will be brought to England over the next five years by the decision by the conservative vote to work at cross purposes demonstrates the consequence of a small tent philosophy.  The power which has passed to Labor will not only ensure that there will be no early elections, but also that when the elections do come around again, England will be a very very different nation than the one which was betrayed by this rift among the conservatives.  While this lesson will cost the English dearly, it should be a lesson to the conservative movements around the world that it is better to work together then at cross-purposes.  While warring against an existential threat, it is better to have a victory of some form than a defeat of any form, and nota bene, the fight against the Red-Green alliance should be understood to be an existential threat against all democracies, everywhere.

The British Labour Party achieved a historic victory. The party has not enjoyed such an overwhelming advantage over competing parties for hundreds of years.

For them to achieve that so soon after their party had been riddled in widespread anti-Semitism under its then leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is so remarkable that a deeper dive into the figures and the facts are required.

First, they achieved their victory with a very low voter turnout.  Only 60% of a disgruntled voting public cast their ballots.

The French election does not bode well for Europe or French Jews  

Barry Shaw | July 8, 2024

Following the French political whiplash in which the world thought Macron had lost the country to his political right over his failed monetary and social policies, we woke up to the results of an election to discover that France had swung hard Left with the Marxist Melenchon’s party in command of the vote.

As French-Jewish philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy put it, the victory of the far left FLI marks a rise in the “new antisemitism.”

This new antisemitic threat is the amalgamation of Marxism with a rising harsh Islamism, both carrying explicit Jew hatred.

Sen. Schumer, Bring the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 to the Senate floor  

By Eric R. Mandel | July 7, 2024


WASHINGTON, DC – JUNE 18: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks during a news conference following the weekly Senate Democratic policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on June 18, 2024 in Washington, DC. During the news conference Senate Democrats spoke on a number of topics including the upcoming anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling and the Court recently striking down a federal ban on bump stocks. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)

For decades, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has told everyone that he was the watchman for American Jewish interests and the U.S.-Israel relationship.

During a November speech on the Senate floor, Schumer said, “Vitriol against Israel in the wake of Oct. 7 is all too often crossing into brazen and widespread antisemitism, the likes of which we haven’t seen for generations in this country, if ever.”

And those left most vulnerable and defenseless against antisemitism under the guise of anti-Zionism are Jewish students who have been intimidated, attacked and stigmatized on American campuses, abandoned by cowardly university administrators and faculty. The need for action by the Department of Education is evident, but it requires defining antisemitism to enact consequences.

The Media’s Anti-Biden Campaign Is Just as Fake as its Pro-Biden Campaign  

It’s all coordinated propaganda.

Daniel Greenfield | July 8, 2024

Journalism has been dead and buried since the 90s. What exists today is public relations, opposition research, agitprop, and the other elements of a communications apparatus for a political movement.

Occasionally people notice that everyone in the media is saying the same exact thing in the same exact way.

Now that the media got its marching orders to demand that Biden step down (mere weeks after denouncing the idea that there was anything wrong with him as dangerous disinformation and cheapfakes), the hive mind is once again marching in unison to an absurd degree.

Impending Gaza deal: Is Israel ready to make painful concessions?  

Peloni: Well, Nagal may prove to be accurate, but I am hoping that the current deal is not accepted to forestall the coming war in Lebanon.  The time is long past due to deal with Hezbollah, and by Nagal’s own assessment, the threat of the anti-tank attacks on the areas across the border will not be change, and which of the evacuated families would be likely to want to return to living under such an obvious threat.  I would argue none.  End Hamas, end Hezbollah, and prepare to end the Mullahs.  This is the only deal Israel can afford to accept, period.

Jacob Nagal | FDD | July 5, 2024

After nine months of fighting in Gaza and the north, direct attacks from Iran, and terror attacks inside Israel, the country faces several difficult decisions.

The main challenges are the wise transition from a high-intensity war to an ongoing low-intensity war in Gaza, promoting a hostage deal, and shifting the center of gravity to the north (by agreement or war) and to Iran (preventing a nuclear breakout and weakening the regime).

The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) is nearing the completion of the first war goal, under the old war cabinet guidance, of negating Hamas’ military capabilities and crushing its military organizational structure. Unfortunately, the denial of Hamas’ governmental and organizational capabilities and the killing of all its leaders has not yet been completed, despite some impressive achievements, and the war goal of returning all the hostages is far from complete, despite some successful operations and deals.

Turkish refusal to refuel El Al flight: An offensive violation of intl. obligations – opinion  

Political tensions and hostilities don’t allow airport and aviation authorities the right to ignore their international duties.

by Alan Baker | July 7, 2024

As reported in the media last Sunday, an El Al flight from Warsaw en route to Tel Aviv was not allowed to refuel in Antalya, Turkey after making an emergency landing to evacuate a passenger in need of urgent and vital medical attention.

Apparently, due to political hostility generated by the Turkish leadership, local workers at Antalya airport refused to refuel the flight before it could take off for Israel, despite the medical emergency that required the impromptu landing in Antalya and the emergency evacuation of the sick passenger.

UK and France Are Lost  

Peloni:  As I feared, both France and the UK have been taken further to Left, even as their public have moved further to the right.  The disconnect between the elites and the public will have a consequence, but in the meantime, this hardening of the Left will likely have a devastating consequence for these two nations.

Why I Stand by Relocation: A Rejoinder to Ben Burgis  

Peloni: “To kick him or them out of the country would indeed be to violate the non-aggression principle (NAP) of this strict version of libertarianism. But I do not always write from this point of view. Sometimes, often in my writings on Israel, I do so from the perspective of classical liberalism…”

| July 7, 2024

Rutgers University philosophy professor Ben Burgis maintains that my analysis of the Israel–Hamas situation is not only incorrect, but, also, even worse, incompatible with my own views on political economy. The present article is devoted to defending my perspective against his unwarranted critique of it.

I have written numerous articles, and a book, defending Israel against its critics. I have had support from numerous sources. But I am rather interested in the critiques my publications have garnered. Many are from the word processors of libertarians. Sad to say, they have been very disappointing, while the disparagement from Burgis is significantly better than any other of those.

Ukraine: NYT Outlines American-Led Mercenary Group Killing Russian POWs, Zelenskyy Outlines Russian Troop Advancements  

Sundance | July 7, 2024

It’s odd how no one in the American media seems to ask how Obama and Biden went from a friendly “reset” with Russia in 2009 to full geopolitical antagonism in 2011.

? What exactly led to the complete reversal of intent?

I digress…. However, having some deeper understanding of the current status of the conflict, I also find it curious how the New York Tims can just seemingly bury the lead in their story about how U.S-led military “mercenary” soldiers are on the ground fighting, while seemingly forgetting their prior outline about how the CIA was conducting all the military operations in the same area. Not funny, that.

‘Key to Revolving Door’: FDA Tells Staff Who Leave for Pharma Jobs They Can Work ‘Behind the Scenes’ to Influence Agency  

Peloni:  The regulatory capture of the regulator agencies by the industries they regulate must be ended.

According to an internal email obtained by The BMJ, the FDA told a departing staffer who had reviewed COVID-19 vaccines while working at the FDA and who later accepted a job at Moderna that he could still work “behind the scenes” to influence agency decision-making.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informs departing workers that they can still influence the agency’s decision-making after leaving their position to work for the pharmaceutical industry, a new investigation by The BMJ revealed.

According to an internal email obtained by The BMJ, the FDA told departing staffer Doran Fink, M.D., Ph.D. — who had reviewed COVID-19 vaccines while working at the FDA and who had accepted a job at Moderna — that although U.S. law prohibits some forms of lobbying contact between former FDA workers who leave to join the private sector, they “do not prohibit the former employee from other activities, including working ‘behind the scenes.’”

Wisconsin Supreme Court Reversed Themselves – Approves Widespread Use of Mail-In Ballot Drop Boxes  

Peloni: Is anyone in the RNC paying attention to this??  CC: Laura Trump

Sundance | July 6, 2024

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them.

Last weekend James Clyburn visited 10 key ballot counting precincts in Wisconsin {link}.  On Friday George Stephanopoulos interviewed Joe Biden from Wisconsin {link}. Today, the media is full of the story about how the Wisconsin Supreme Court has reversed its own prior ruling and will now expand the use of ballot collection boxes.

Congress Issues Subpoenas to Investigate Censorship Industry  

Peloni:  No one should be expecting solutions from these hearings, as Congress has proven itself too inept to bring such changes as are needed, particularly with the current political makeup of the Congress.  Yet, these hearings will open the door to greater inspection into the details surrounding the Censorship Industry, a subject to which too few are paying heed.  This industry is corrupting the children, enslaving the adults, and perverting the full meaning and experience of what used to be the American Republic.  Beyond election integrity/transparency, this must be seen to be the single most vital task for the new Trump administration to remedy.

Is the Coup Against Biden Coming Out of Europe?  

Peloni:  The opposition to Trump was always an international effort.  This was true in 2016, it was true in 2020, and it remains to be true today.  The Isolationists will try to have a field day with this of course, but the reality is the World Liberal Order is structured to maintain its supporters in power as they continue to march towards their Globalist ideal of a one world govt.  This was what brought Trump to defeat the 17 challengers in 2016, and why he again was even more able to do so this past fall.  Globalism, more than any other topic, is what opposes Trump, it is why the Left and Right have each gone to extreme extents to try to block him from running/winning, and why Trump was always going to be the candidate on the ballot despite these efforts.  Trump is the antidote to the Globalists, which is why the Globalists are still going to bizarre and extreme lengths to try to change the calculus which supports him, because they are not certain that even in a rigged election they can defeat him.

Foreign election interference.

Democrats panicked after Biden’s debate disaster and donor pressure continues to mount to oust him, but it’s also important to note another incident that seemed to trigger the coup to remove Biden from the ticket.

A lot of the sudden ‘concerns’ about Biden have been coming out of Europe after his G7 visit.

Media quotes about Biden’s condition repeatedly cited European sources from the G7 visit. Politico (which is Euro-owned) has collected a whole lot of recent “concerns” from the upcoming NATO summit about whether Biden should run.

The Paradigm Shift Of The New Populism  

Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times,

The Supreme Court last week reversed a decision from 1984 that was responsible for a dramatic turn in American life. The precedent was called Chevron deference. It said that judges should allow executive-department agencies to make rules that affect commercial and civil life, effectively giving them broad discretionary authority that displaced Congressional and judicial oversight.

The previous rule was designed to unclog the courts from endless litigation over legislative interpretations that was making life difficult for business. The unintended consequence of the shift in 1984 was to increase interventions but not from Congress or judges but from agencies, which blew up in size and authority over the course of 40 years. This was ripe for a hard challenge, and the Supreme Court certainly stepped up.
