Many people still sneer at Justin Trudeau for his silly costumes; soft-spoken, even boyish, demeanor; and overt love for all leftist tropes, whether racial, sexual, religious, or anything else. Those people are fools. Trudeau is a dangerous man who is rapidly creating a totalitarian government that grants rights only to those who march in lockstep with Trudeau’s leftist political and social beliefs.
E. Kossian. We were all lied to but not everyone swallowed the lies, hook, line and sinker.
Every relative I know except one took the experimental gene change shot. Most took on the advise of relatives in their 50’s in medical profession. If I start the conversation now with “ we were all lied to” they readily agree. 8 mo ago they would have argued. A whole bunch of them just got covid.For me the fear mongering was a tip, though that part I did initially believe and that caused me to do more research on how to prevent covid. The suppression of alternative thought was the strongest warning flag to me, when doctors should have been encouraged to experiment widely. When I finally got covid oct 2021, the hospital did a pcr test and confirmed I had it ( I had severe flu symptoms). I then asked for the number of cycles the pcr was run at. The response from the lab was “ we don’t know”.
Scott Adams is the creator of the famous cartoon strip, Dilbert. It is a strip whose brilliance derives from close observation and understanding of human behavior. Some time ago, Scott turned those skills to commenting insightfully and with notable intellectual humility on the politics and culture of our country.
Like many other commentators, and based on his own analysis of evidence available to him, he opted to take the Covid “vaccine.”

Scott Ritter –
MOST OF THE WORLD SUPPORTS RUSSIA.
WE ARE HEADED TO A MULTI-POLAR WORLD.
For the third time in its short history, Israel, by the will of fate or metaphysical destiny, once again finds itself in the epicenter of the struggle of the Western world with supranational totalitarian systems. The first time, it became an outpost in the way of the powerful Soviet empire, which sought to establish a communist world dictatorship. The second time, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was attacked by Islamic jihadists, who practiced against it the most monstrous methods of “fighting the infidels.” This onslaught was repulsed, and the jihadists were at least temporarily weakened. The new attack was marked by the advent of yet another, perhaps the most sophisticated, totalitarian ideology: globalism. And again, as before, the Jewish state has become the main battlefield.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discusses the protests in Iran with Iranian-American writer Roya Hakakian, Iranian-American activist Sherry Hakimi, and British-Iranian actress and activist Nazanin Boniadi at the State Department in Washington on October 14, 2022.
It would be a shame to miss the present opportunity to support the Iranian protesters fighting for their lives. For close to half a year, the Iranian people, first led by their women and then young adults, have called not only for better economic conditions, as they have in the past, but for wholesale regime change.

There’s way too much hysteria from the left wing over proposed legislation in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Where do world leaders like Secretary of State Antony Blinken and French President Emmanuel Macron get the hutzpah to lecture Israel’s elected representatives? It’s bad enough that the leaders of Israel’s previous left wing coalition are acting as if the Supreme Court rules cannot be modified. This frenzy over the government’s projected but unspecified alterations to Israel’s Supreme Court is not the end of democracy – as is claimed – but the exercise of democracy. (This right wing government has a larger majority, 65 to 55, than the current American administration or the previous left wing Israeli administration.)

Listen, Palestinian Arabs, If you want to march, march on Jordan.
By Matthew M. Hausman, Att’y (Originally published on Mar 30. 2012)
The “Jordan-is-Palestine” option for resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict is an idea that, despite history and logic, was beaten into silence by Israel’s enemies and detractors. Critics denounced the concept as preposterous, reactionary and counterproductive.
And yet, the idea has been resurrected from within Jordan itself. There can be no dispute that Jordan was created in a sovereign vacuum on land that had comprised most of the Palestine Mandate. However, its creation as Transjordan in 1921 satisfied a geopolitical need unencumbered by a Palestinian national myth that had not yet been invented.

Kyiv has formulated a list of demands it wants fulfilled by Foreign Minister Eli Cohen ahead of an expected visit to Ukraine, among them a public denunciation of the Russian invasion and hundreds of millions of dollars in loans.
The requests, which also include an expression of support for the country’s territorial integrity, medical treatment in Israel and the development of anti-missile technology, fall short of previous asks Kyiv has made for defensive weaponry, but may still force Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government into an uncomfortable stance as it seeks to navigate between the warring allies.

T. Belman. In theory Mansur is probably correct. In practice though, the Islamists are so dominant that the moderates are afraid to speak out. The doctrine of abrogation results in the later verses superseding the earlier ones. This doctrine must be expunged. A few years ago Al Sisi called for major reform and MBS is on record wanting reform.
Trump called for the defeat of Islamists “and their ideology”. When he visited Saudi Arabia in 2017 he met with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Riyadh and they agreed to set up Global Center for Combating Extremism intended as a centre of excellence for fighting violent extremism which is conducive to terrorism. That’s a start.

Since 9/11 the West has been confounded with the question whether Islam and Islamism are one and same, or if there is a critical distinction to be drawn between the two. How this question is answered has profound implications for understanding and explaining the immense convulsion seizing the Muslim world, and on how best to frame a proper response without undermining or eroding the secular and liberal democratic culture of the West.
T. Belman. Levoritz argues that the US and other globalists don’t want Israel to be able to defend itself or to out-compete the US. Is he right?

No one offers a reasonable explanation for Biden begging Iran to rejoin the debunked, tawdry, ineffective, and cynical agreement to keep nuclear weapons out of Iranian hands, if just for a while. Israel keeps providing updates on how close the Iranians are to completing their weapons of mass destruction. The U.S. government “cooperates” with Israel, holding joint exercises, but keeps weapons out of Israel’s hands that could bring the Iranian project to a screeching halt — namely, bunker-busters and the means to deliver them.

The photo is one of the mind-blowing exhibits at the Museum of Medicine and Science in Hadera, central Israel.
This week’s newsletter is packed with life-enhancing creations from the minds of Israeli scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators. Cell therapy to fix genetic diseases; Artificial Intelligence to diagnose diseases from biopsies, from retina scans, and from CT-scans; even smart systems to ensure hospitals are never short of essential supplies.
Scientific breakthroughs include efficient fusion energy, satellite quantum communications, growing vegan super-food indoors; heat-generating polymers; sunglasses that convert to reading glasses; continuous mobile Internet; and intelligent robots to replace unresponsive customer service centers.

Here are some facts: there has been a dramatic increase in negative coverage of Israel in the New York Times since the November election, and the paper’s coverage of Israel was mostly negative under the former government as well. The Times also failed to cover terror organizations’ activity during 2022 which saw a peak in terrorism. And the Times published 20 negative op-eds about Israel in 2022, compared to only 13 about Iran – during the year that saw Iranian government forces massacring and hanging protesters.

The Biden administration is ordering state and local governments to submit ‘equity plans’ or lose federal funding. This latest shot in the long “war against the suburbs” is part of former Rep. Marcia L. Fudge’s plan, as the boss of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to “weave equity throughout HUD’s work”.
T. BELMAN. The Arabs don’t care about contiguity. They have done nothing to achieve it since 1995. Besides there are different clans in each Area A as Kedar has pointed out. In any event no tunnels should be built before the final settlement.
I would though favour a high speed tunnel from Ramallah to Jordan. The other A’s can also be connected to it. This will cement the idea among Palestinians, that Jordan is their home and future.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed building a network of underground highway systems across the West Bank to enable the maintenance of territorial contiguity for both Israeli settlements and Palestinian towns, The Times of Israel’s sister site, Zman Yisrael, reported Saturday.
T, Belman. I recently posted Armistice or annihilation—Ukraine’s end game which contained an interview of Mansur. I exchanged some emails with him about it as I knew him from his participation in my conference in 2017 on the Jordan Option. His talk is contained in Salim Mansur: “Jordan is Palestine”.
I don’t see an armistice taking hold until Russia consolidates it hold on Crimea and the four provinces or until the West concedes them.

I mostly agree with Peloni that the collective West led by the U.S. is, as Putin and the leadership in Moscow have repeatedly said, “not-agreement capable.” In other words, there is no basis any more for Moscow to trust any Western/American leader, and especially those presently ruling, with whom they can negotiate an agreement that will be honoured in the West. The Minsk Agreements (I and II) erased all trust in Moscow of the post-1992 leadership in the collective West.
