The Azov Battalion: Extremists defending Mariupol  

T. Belman. When reading stories of alleged Russian atrocities in the city of Mariupol, it is best to remember that that city is the headquarters of the Azov Regiment. It controls the city.

“In the summer of 2014, the modest forces of Azov participated in the recapture of Mariupol from pro-Russian separatists. It has operated as a regiment since fall 2014 and according to media reports, it had around 1,000 fighters before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as artillery and tanks.”

“Ukrainian authorities on Sunday said the Russian military bombed an art school in which about 400 people had taken refuge” according to a ToI post.

Harvard Law School calls Israel an Apartheid Regime  

T. Belman. Torossian  fails to point out the purpose of the report;

This submission focuses on the legal regime enforced by Israel in the occupied West Bank that denies Palestinians their civil and political rights in violation of international law.1 Specifically, this submission finds that Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank are in breach of the prohibition of apartheid and amount to the crime of apartheid under international law.

Israel has agreed, though the lands are not really occupied, to apply the Geneva Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. 12 August 1949.   The issues raised by the Harvard Report are totally irrelevant. There is no law that says otherwise.

Harvard shamelessly partners with an organization affiliated with the PFLP in the United States. .

By Ronn Torossian, INN

Right on the Harvard Law School website (here) one can learn that the school has deemed and recognized Israel in a recent report to the United Nations as “an apartheid regime.”

The full 22 page report can be read here, and claims that Israel systematically discriminates?against Palestinians and suppresses their civil and political rights.” Harvard’s report “finds that Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank are in breach of the prohibition of apartheid and amount to the crime of apartheid under international law.”

Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine  

The Western Press has been full of these stories. Five years after the Maidan uprising, antisemitism and fascist-inflected ultra-nationalism are rampant.

By Lev Golinkin, THE NATION    Feb 22/19

Five years ago, Ukraine’s Maidan uprising ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, to the cheers and support of the West. Politicians and analysts in the United States and Europe not only celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy, but denied reports of Maidan’s ultra-nationalism, smearing those who warned about the dark side of the uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom was on the march in Ukraine.

<aside

Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.

Unsustainable Humanity  

L. Goudsmit.  This is an extraordinary summary of the existential threats to freedom and human life posed by the 4th industrial revolution, Great Reset, and NWO, promoted by the psychopaths and megalomaniacs of the World Economic Forum. It confirms and validates everything I have worried about and written about for the last three years. I am going to have a glass of wine now – maybe two.

By Dr. Igor Shepherd, LEW ROCKWELL   Mar 19/22

The world populations would be shaking with absolute terror if they knew how close they are to losing everything they hold dear to their hearts. Infiltrated cronies who have been secretly pushing toward a one world government for many decades have waited patiently for their cue to bolt onto the world stage and show arm muscle. The phony pandemic was act one with which the global elites were able to openly introduce their global goals. Act two, the Russian-Ukrainian drama, will soon reveal the true strength behind those bulging biceps.

The Ambassador from Obamastan  

by Victor Rosenthal    March 20, 2022

It was profoundly depressing to listen to the new American ambassador to Israel, Thomas Nides, speak on a webinar produced by Americans for Peace Now. Both the tone and the substance of his remarks were discouraging.

The tone expressed the arrogance that we learned to expect from Obama Administration officials, of which Nides was one. Jonathan Tobin said that American ambassadors to Israel often act more like “imperial proconsuls,” sent to give orders to the colonials, and that fits Nides. Jewish communities in Judea/Samaria “infuriate” him. Infuriate! The Palestinians, on the other hand, are merely less than perfect:

UKRAINE: THE POLITICS AND THE FACTS  

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT AND EXCELLENT
Tierney’s REAL News (3/20/22)

So, what’s really going on in Ukraine? It’s complicated. My research shows that almost NOTHING you are hearing on the TV news is accurate. I’ve watched dozens of videos and listened to testimony from dozens of people who actually live there and I’ve listened to assessments from all sides. This is what I think:

IMHO, the Western media and politicians are feeding us a narrative that is FAKE – and they have many reasons to do that. Some good. Many bad.

Remember that Ukraine was once part of Russia. Remember that Putin is in Ukraine to rid it of the brutal and genocidal NAZI Azov forces, which were trained by the CIA to overthrow Putin, and have murdered 14,000 Ukrainian Russians in Ukraine since 2014 – and have literally threatened to attack Russia with nuclear weapons or bio-weapons from Ukraine. I’ve seen the evidence. So, Putin has a VALID REASON to get rid of them in Ukraine – which is right next door to Russia.

Begin Center Symposium – Securing the Nation 1922  

T. Belman. I attended the “First Begin Symposium- Securing the Nation” last week and was blown away by the remarks of Michael Hoenlein who introduced Pastor John Hagee and the remarks of the Pastor himself. These remarks start at 2:05. Of particular note is what Hagee had to say about the British.

Before I made aliya in 2009, I took over Israpundit in 2002. That brought me eventually to attend a  Night to Honour Israel hosted by Christians United For Israel (CUFI). There, I met the great Pastor Hagee.

Longtime friends and allies in advocating for Israel Malcolm Hoenlein and Pastor John Hagee talk to Israel Hayom about the surprising partnership between the US Evangelical community and the Jewish people.

Germany’s Increasing Support of the Iranian Regime  

by Marilyn Stern
Middle East Forum Webinar   March 4, 2022

Benjamin Weinthal, research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and journalist for the Jerusalem Post, spoke to a March 4 Middle East Forum Webinar (video) about Germany’s support for the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is “jeopardizing the security of the European Union, the Middle East, and the United States.”

According to Weinthal, Germany is a “zealous champion” of the “deeply concessionary and flawed” nuclear deal presently being negotiated in Vienna. Billed as a deal to “curb the Iranian regime’s illicit nuclear weapons program in exchange for sanctions relief,” Weinthal believes that instead of reining in the mullahs in Tehran, Germany’s “über soggy appeasement” of Iran will advance “its terrorism [and] its support of Russia” while strengthening other totalitarian rulers.

The Biden Administration’s Campaign to “Make Anti-American Dictatorships Great Again” – LITERALLY  

L Goudsmit. We are in the midst of WWIII – the worldwide battle between globalism and the nation state. The key to deciphering the policies of the Biden regime is understanding the administration’s commitment to globalism, and its rejection of the national sovereignty of the United States. The Biden regime is the enemy within.

by Majid Rafizadeh, GATESTONE   

  • Buying oil from the mullahs of Iran means funding a regime that sponsors global terrorism and that is determined, as an oblation, to wipe out Israel and attack the US.
  • One day after the United Nations Security Council voted in favor of lifting the arms embargo on Iran in October 2020, the ruling mullahs unveiled a ballistic missile that reportedly can reach the United States. The headline of an August 15, 2020 report by Iran’s state-controlled Afkar News read in Farsi, “American Soil Is Now Within the Range of Iranian Bombs”.

The West v Putin – Handling the Truth  

By Ray DiLorenzo, STAND UP AMERICA

Deep State Troublemakers in the Shadows “People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war, or before an election.” Otto Von Bismarck. Ever since Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?”, we have struggled with it. We dream of it, wish it, fear it, dance around it, and in the end, we can’t live with it. So, we make up our own ‘truth’ and then celebrate it. In time convince ourselves that it is the one and only.

Ukraine’s lessons for Israel  

If Israel was paying attention to the dynamics at work in the West’s behavior towards Ukraine, it would be adopting policies opposite to those it is currently pursuing, both in relation to Ukraine and Russia and in relation to the West.

Ukraine's lessons for Israel

In the months and weeks that led up to Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, Western powers signaled clearly that they were prepared to accept the disappearance of Ukraine as an independent state. US President Joe Biden virtually invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade in late January when he said that a “minor incursion” would leave NATO flat-footed. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, like his predecessor Angela Merkel, served as the Kremlin’s unofficial spokesman in Europe.

But once Russian forces invaded, the West’s plans to yell a bit and look away went awry. The Ukrainians failed to play their assigned role of Paschal lambs. Instead, they rallied around their flag and their president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The fake news has had quite a revealing week. One story after the other has come out to further prove that they tell us a boat load of lies – until they’re either forced to tell the truth – or until it’s too late, the damage is done and it doesn’t matter any more.

Remember THAT as you listen to the garbage we’re being fed about the “war” in Ukraine right now. It is being debunked day by day. The fake news is truly the enemy of the people!

Here are a few MAJOR truths that came out this week!

Biden’s unconscionable empowerment of both Russia and Iran  

U.S. President Joe Biden is now accepting Russian President Vladimir Putin—the man he calls a “war criminal” and who has threatened nuclear war against the West—as the controller of Iran’s nuclear-weapons program.

By Melanie Phillips, JNS

 In his address to the U.S. Congress this week, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky told U.S. President Joe Biden in a plea for American air defenses against Russian bombardment from the sky: “You are the leader of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world.”

Middle East Update: Israel – Iran: The War Before the War  

Amir Tsarfati, a Christian who lives in Israel, has a huge following deservedly earned. Tune in at 7 minutes until 45 minutes. The rest is bible prophecy.

He says Russia is winning in Ukraine and any losses they have suffered is miniscule. He attacks NATO for sacrificing the Ukrainians. He says that the biggest winner in the Iran deal is China who owns Iran. The American rush for the Iran deal is incomprehensible to him. Then he gets into the Shadow War which is ongoing.

Biden lied, people died  

REAL AMERICAN NEWS

https://rumble.com/vxlqw9-lara-logan-dropping-massive-truth-bombs.html

Lara Logan exposes the misinformation we are fed daily.  The worst ever she said.

From the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine crisis we are taught to believe that Ukraine is innocent and Russia is the aggressor.

However, nothing can be farther from the truth. Russia is not losing this war despite what the Western intelligent and media personalities want you to believe. The Russian army is carrying out its operations as part of its overall plan.

Regardless of how the media portrays Russia and its leaders, the Western propaganda is equally disturbing.
