Viktor Orbán Blows Off Blowhard Zelensky in Brussels  

By Richard Abelson, GATEWAY PUNDIT   9.2.23

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán blew off Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky as he visited the EU HQ in Brussels to beg for more money, arms and fighter jets. Orbán said that Hungary would not get involved in the Ukraine war “in the interest of the country and its people.”

As EU leaders posed for a photo op in the EU Parliament building, Viktor Orbán conspicuously failed to clap as Zelensky took his place before him.

Our Government’s Ukraine Obsession Endangers America And Her Allies  

By Al Bienenfeld, AM THINKER

[…]

A good foreign policy requires convincing other nations, the friendly or neutral ones, to work with us to secure our goals, which usually means a concomitant promise to secure their goals.

What happens, though, when dealing with an adversarial relationship? Must we physically force our will upon the recalcitrant party, or are there other ways?

American Thinker blacklisted for ‘disinformation’ by groups funded by the Biden administration  

By Rajan Laad, AM THINKER

The Washington Examiner recently released a two-part report on their investigation of self-proclaimed ‘disinformation’ tracking organizations that are targeting conservative media.

News outlets such as American Thinker, the Washington Examiner, the Washington Times, Newsmax, Hot Air, Newsbusters, LifeNews, Breitbart, etc. as well as news websites run by Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, etc. and even groups such as Judicial Watch were branded “false/misleading.” Townhall.com was branded “offensive” and “reprehensible,” while Breitbart TV was branded as “hate speech.”

It’s not about democracy  

The left isn’t worried about democracy. It doesn’t like democracy. It likes its oligarchy.

By Caroline Glick

(February 10, 2023 / JNS) What’s happening in Israel is not what it seems. The left, in all its component parts, is not fighting against an effort by the government and the Knesset to destroy Israel’s democracy.

We know this for three reasons.

Unifying Theory; Palestine for Iraq  

T. Belman. I reposted this, 20 years later, because it is a detailed explanation of the US duplicity which is ever present. Everything the US does outside its borders is to advance its interests, not its reputed values. NEVER BELIEVE THE REASONS THEY GIVE FOR THEIR FOREIGN POLICIES.

Shortly after publishing this I published Perfecting the Unifying Theory

By Ted Belman (written Apr 2003)

We’ve been had.  After Bush’s June speech, we rejoiced.  We were home free.  No such luck.

Bush has made a Faustian bargain.  He has sold America’s soul, Israel, to the devil, Saudi Arabia.  What is that bargain?  I’ll give you Palestine, you give me Iraq.

Lately we have been reading that the US has been planning a regime change in Iraq for over a year now.  To accomplish this they felt they needed the Arabs on board.  To achieve this end, the following incomprehensible actions were taken by the US administration.

Russia’s Foreign Policy in the Middle East  

T. Belman. I recently wrote to Amir Avivi informing him that I blamed the US for the war in Ukraine. I did so because he was blaming Russia.

Marom continues by writing that Russia was “motivated by an imperialistic vision” and Putin “is employing an active, assertive and defiant foreign policy. This policy is based on fusing a challenging attitude towards the US and the Western hegemony”.

I don’t believe that Russia is imperialistic, it is nationalistic, but it certainly rejects Western Hegemony. I also don’t see Western Hegemony with its New World Order as a good thing.

DR. Anat Hochberg Marom, IDSF

Over the past decade, particularly in the past year since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Russia’s foreign policy has undergone dramatic change.

IDSF is active on many fronts  

Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi
Founder and Chairman of IDSF Habithonistim

Over the past year, IDSF has grown exponentially, and our growth is largely due to the generosity of our supporters abroad. What started just three years ago, is now a major movement of 16,000+ people, guiding and shaping Israel’s Israel national security priorities. I’d like to share with you a few highlights of this growth:

    • The IDSF research department, staffed by 15 researchers and a content desk, revealed the truth about the Lebanon gas deal. Their papers on Pay-for-Slay, Iran, and Deadly Stones, have been presented to top military officials, foreign ambassadors, and members of government. Our National Strategic Assessment for Israel and public surveys provide deep analysis about the core issues impacting Israel’s national security. (Click here or an English language summary of the Assessment.)

Burns’ CIA Resumes War on Israel  

The current director, Bill Burns, a longtime employee of the State Department, brought his ill-informed and destructive views to the CIA.

By Mitchell Bard     February 8, 2023

(JNS) When it comes to a history of failure, bad intentions and antisemitism, it is difficult to top the U.S. State Department, but the CIA’s record is as bad or worse, just not as well-known. The current CIA director, Bill Burns, a longtime employee of State, brought his ill-informed and destructive views to the agency.

Before addressing Burns’ latest inaccurate analysis and harmful activities, let’s briefly review a few lowlights of the CIA’s history in the Middle East.

Blinken continues to misread the Middle East  

T. Belman. Ettinger said the US/NATO led invasion of Libya in 2011 was “motivated by noble values of human rights” namely “to prevent a massive slaughter of non-combatant Libyans by Gaddafi” No, that was just the reason given. Why Gaddafi got a red card sets out the real reason. It was to protect the economic interests of Britain and France in Libya and North Africa. Russia and China were growing too powerful there.

Similarly, Ettinger believes that Blinken/US is wrong to believe in the Palestinian cause rather than to have malevolent goals. I believe they are motivated to maintain their own power in the ME at Israel’s expense.

The goal of the US/NATO policy is to extend their hegemony. To this end they undermined the independence of Libya and Serbia, to name a couple, and are trying to do the same to Russia. Also, they align with the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran for the same purpose. They claim to do so in order to extend democracy or to uphold the R2P. Wrong. Its all about self interest

Secretary Blinken’s well-intentioned, but misguided, human rights-driven policy has ignored the only choice facing the United States in the Middle East: that between pro-US human rights violating Arab regimes, or anti-US human rights violating Arab regimes.

By  Yoram Ettinger       5.2.23

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s Jan. 29-31 visit to Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian Authority marked another milestone in his well-intentioned – but erroneous – Middle East legacy. It has backfired on vital US interests in general, and the pursuit of regional stability and peace in particular.

Erdogan’s Response to Turkey’s Deadly Earthquake Will Decide His Political Fate  

The Turkish president’s diplomatic jockeying after the earthquake could lend him leverage ahead of May’s election. Whether this extends to Kurdish and peripheral regions of Turkey, however, will prove decisive.

CURRENT DEATH TOLL IN BOTH TURKEY AND SYRIA IS ABOUT 22,000.

By Zvi Bar’el, HAARETZ    7.2.23

[…] Turkish rescue crews contending with rainy and stormy weather as well as cold temperatures, knew that they hadn’t yet seen the worst of the devastation.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared Monday’s devastating events as the heaviest calamity Turkey has experienced since a 1939 earthquake that claimed the lives of more than 33,000 people and left some 100,000 injured. Yet even before that earthquake and in the decades that followed, Turkey has continued to be hit by dozens of earthquakes that left a wake of death and destruction.

Ben Gvir reprimands police district commander after violent Jerusalem protest  

T. Belman. Gantz said “the interference of the political echelon in the operational work of the police in the context of the demonstrations damages the deepest foundations of our democracy and is intended to terrorize it.” He is so wrong. It is for the political echelon to establish the rules of engagement or to decide to appease the enemy or to fight it. In America, only Congress can declare war, not the army nor the President.

It is for the government to decide whether to enforce the law, not the Police Commissioner.

National Security Minister summons commander of the Jerusalem District of the Israel Police to reprimand him following left-wing protest.

 

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Thursday evening summoned the commander of the Jerusalem District of the Israel Police to reprimand him in the wake of what he described as “the loss of control of the police in the capital city to a group of anarchists”, during a protest of left-wing activists led by the Crime Minister movement.

What Is the Great Reset?  

L. Goudsmit. . This is an excellent summary and analysis by Michael Rectenwald. A former Marxist and professor at NYU, he speaks with the knowledge, passion, and clarity of a former leftist who made The Turn.

by Michael Rectenwald November 21, 2021

I’ll begin by addressing the elephant in the room. Isn’t the Great Reset simply a “conspiracy theory” concocted and circulated by “rightwing extremists?” The so-called conspiracy theories run something like this: the Great Reset is a plot hatched by a technocratic global elite to establish a socialist-communist New World Order. The Great Reset will abolish the property rights of the majority, as well as individual and national sovereignty, and wipe out the last vestiges of personal freedom. It uses covid-19 and climate change as pretexts to enslave what will remain of humanity, using never-ending lockdowns, experimental vaccines, and pervasive and inescapable surveillance.

Biden’s Sellout to China  

Softness on the CCP in the State of the Union Address.

President Joe Biden is selling out the United States of America to the Chinese Communist regime. During his long rambling State of the Union address, Biden wasted a rare opportunity before an audience of millions of Americans to stand up to America’s number one adversary and the enemy of freedom everywhere. He ignored China’s serial acts of aggression, while lashing out at Republicans and at American corporations.

Warming Israel-Azerbaijan ties and the Iranian ire they stoke  

This secular Muslim country is Israel and the West’s valuable ally in pushing back against Iran, Russia, and Islamist terrorism

By Ahmad Hashemi, TOI BLOG

Relatives and friends mourn near the coffin with the body of Orkhan Rizvan Oglu Askarov, slain security chief of the Azerbaijan Embassy in Iran’s capital during his farewell ceremony in Baku, Azerbaijan, Monday, Jan. 30, 2023.

On January 11, Azerbaijan appointed its first-ever ambassador to Israel after 30 years of bilateral relations. Baku’s historic decision comes against the background of the growing tension between Azerbaijan and Iran. The opening of an embassy in the Jewish state by the Shiite majority nation may be new, but the bilateral relations are not. Israel and Azerbaijan started their diplomatic ties in April 1992, six months after the latter declared its independence from the Soviet Union.

‘Obsessed’ Biden quietly waives sanctions, enables Iran, Russia to resume nuclear work, make billions in profit  

“The move went unnoticed at first by major media, which was clearly the intent of the administration,” the ZOA stated. It is also a “stab in the back” to Ukraine.

By Atara Beck, World Israel News

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, center, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, left, greet each other as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stands at right, July 19, 2022. (Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader via AP)

Last Friday, “moments before the end of the workday, the Biden administration notified Congress that nonproliferation sanctions on the terrorist regime of Iran were being waived to allow Rosatom, Russia’s state-owned energy company, to profit without sanctions,” the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) noted in a press release this week.

Washington Free Beacon was the only news site to report the event, apparently based on the deliberate timing of the notification.

Islamization is a gradual process, but not so gradual that you can’t see it happening.  

As Islam continues to gain numbers and power in Western Europe, certain questions take on greater importance. If you’re female or Jewish or gay, for example, and the only local doctor without a full patient list is a Muslim (and given how some nationalized medical systems work, this kind of situation arises not infrequently), do you choose to assume that he doesn’t take his religion’s teachings seriously, or do you move?

America’s Disarray Is A Stark Contrast To China’s Unity  

T. Belman. In other words, “strength in unity and not in diversity”.

By Kathleen Brush, AM THINKER

Listening carefully during the State of the Union, you could hear roaring laughter in Beijing when President Biden again said that J6 was the greatest threat to America since the Civil War. Biden is China’s perfect stooge. China has a long-term mission to retaliate against the West, with a bullseye on America, for a Century of Humiliation (1839-1949). To succeed, China must have political and racial unity and opportunities to strike, like an American president driving political, racial, and military disunity and invested in the mythical J6 monster.
