Former deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland, who worked for General Michael Flynn – unjustly forced from office, offers a chilling and highly realistic view of what we face: a coup by the deep state that they are planning to repeat in 2024 because they don’t want their crimes prosecuted by a Republican president and AG.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on her Fox Business Network program, McFarland laid out the grim reality that, strangely, does not bother any of the people who rage about “protecting democracy” from Donald Trump. Kanekoa The Great summarizes her views and presents a two-and-a-half minute clip of her. I urge you to watch the whole thing, as there is a lot of richness that doesn’t make it to this summary.

“Trans Minors Protected from Parents Under Washington Law,” the Associated Press headlined its story. A short time later the story had officially been “withdrawn” by the AP.

Withdrawing the story however didn’t change the facts.

Washington Senate Bill 5599, titled, “Supporting youth and young adults seeking protected health care services”, allows shelters where a child runaway shows up not to notify his or her parents. While normally, unless a child were suffering “abuse or neglect”, the shelter would be obligated to inform the parents between 24 and 72 hours after arrival. The new law adds minors getting abortions and transgender treatments as “compelling reasons” not to notify their parents.

Two days ago at the Arab Summit in Saudi Arabia, MBS, al Sisi and King Abdullah all called for, “the establishment of a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital”.  The only one with any clout is MBS. He has put all Saudi Arabia’s demands on the table before serious negotiations commence. Are they all pre-requisites or will some be dropped before the final deal?

It doesn’t look good for Israel because the Palestine demand is also in line with the declared policy of the Obama/Biden government.

• “The Taliban are offering money for Afghans to turn in any Christians they know. And Afghans are desperate, further heightening the security risk [to] Christians.” — mnnonline, April 3, 2023, Afghanistan.

Mai Serwa [prison]…is … known for its use of torture and other forms of mistreatment, including beatings, starvation, and denial of medical care.

Its Disinformation Reporter need look no further than its Israel coverage for her story

Once again, Israelis have been forced to shelter against bombardment by hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza. Once again, Israel has been forced to take military action to defend itself against increasingly deadly attacks. Once again, much of the western media has presented this as if Israel wakes up in the morning and decides to bomb Gaza through some insatiable lust for violence.

If the so-called “champions of democracy” succeed in obstructing the judicial reforms, democratic rule will be replaced by mob rule, and Israel will teeter on the brink of an Orwellian dystopia.

“The starkest indicators [of erosion of democracy], which presumably underlie the country’s downgrading in international democracy ratings, involve elite decisions about rejecting election results.”– James Druckman, professor of political science, Northwestern University, “Misperceptions, Competition, and Support for Democracy”.

Will Israel favour annexation over Normalization??? I sure hope so.

The upcoming Jewish festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) celebrates the Revelation at Mount Sinai. Appropriately, Israelis have been revealing more innovations and activities to benefit humanity.

Recent medical revelations include, why some Alzheimer’s patients deteriorate more than others. Also, that a significant number of Parkinson’s patients suddenly become creative. Sheba Medical Center is able to see patients without them coming to the hospital, while Wolfson hospital can see what’s going on with cancer patients round the clock with Artificial Intelligent monitors.

T. Belman. This is very disturbing. When MBS  set out his demands for normalization to the US, Palestine was not one of them. MBS now appears to have upped the price for normalization by saying “We will not delay in providing assistance to the Palestinian people in recovering their lands, restoring their legitimate rights and establishing an independent state within the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

Hopefully it is not a precondition for normalization but a pledge to afterwards, assist the Palestinians in getting a state within the ’67 borders.

Amid reports of push for normalization with Israel, Saudi Crown Prince stresses importance of “Palestinian issue”.

By Elad Benari, INN    19.5.23

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Friday once again stressed the importance the kingdom places on a Palestinian state.

Speaking at the Arab League summit taking place in the country, bin Salman said, according to Channel 12 News, “The Palestinian issue was and still is the main issue of the Arab countries and is at the top of the kingdom’s priorities. We will not delay in providing assistance to the Palestinian people in recovering their lands, restoring their legitimate rights and establishing an independent state within the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

In the climate of a global pandemic, COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out under emergency use authorization after a much shorter than normal testing period. Millions of people rolled up their sleeves because they were told they were doing their part to end the pandemic. But for some—it didn’t go as expected.

The Unseen Crisis is a feature-length documentary that provides an intimate, uncensored look into the lives of those who live with the debilitating after-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. It examines the issue of COVID-19 vaccine injury claims in a fresh, honest, and comprehensive manner with expert interviews, whistleblowers’ statements, and government health statistics.

A US F-16 carrying: One AIM-9L Sidewinder, one AIM 9J Sidewinder, one 2000 pound Mark 84 bomb, and an auxilliary fuel tank on each wing

The United States has unilaterally decided to escalate the war between Russia and Ukraine, apparently in the belief that the war will continue to drag on for a considerable time, since training Ukrainian pilots will not be a quick or easy process.

Despite his previously announced opposition to supplying the fourth-generation fighters to Ukraine – a move that Zelenksy has been lobbying for – Biden unilaterally told his G-7  counterparts that he has flip flopped. As the BBC reported:

Steve McCann’s “Eight Startling and Uncomfortable Ways the Democrat Party Emulates the Nazi Party” was just the tip of the National Socialist iceberg.

The fascist far left have always had to lie to survive.  They’ve always been on the wrong side of history, and the only way they can remain viable is by gaslighting people on a full-time basis.  For decades, their biggest lie has been that the supposedly pro-freedom side of the political spectrum, imbued in the precepts of individual liberty and limited government, is somehow connected to totalitarian collectivist regimes that displayed the exact opposite of those values.
