T. Belman. Given the fact that 100,000 eligible refugees are expected, I see no need morally or otherwise, to also admit 25000 non-eligible Ukrainians. We have enough on our plate with the “Jewish” refugees.

Minister Shaked announces 20,000 Ukrainians not covered by Law of Return already in Israel to be allowed to stay, 5,000 more allowed to come

Israel National News 

Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked announced Tuesday evening that Israel is prepared to temporarily host 25,000 Ukrainian citizens who are not covered by the Law of Return in light of the humanitarian crisis.

“The sights of the war in Ukraine and the suffering of its citizens shock the soul and do not allow us to remain indifferent. These difficult events also have a direct impact on the State of Israel, which is currently preparing to absorb, according to estimates, about 100,000 Jews and those entitled to the Law of Return and their family members fleeing the battle zones,” Shaked said.

Are you ready for the global cabal’s ‘Plan B’?

With Covid now a fading memory, phase two of the Great Reset will surely ‘get your attention’

By Leo Hohmann

The U.S. administration of Joe Biden is now fully engaged in stoking World War III, but before any Americans can be sent to die in the Ukraine, we must feel more economic pain here at home.

If you haven’t already begun to feel it, you will soon. Gasoline has now reached an all-time record high with a national average approaching $4.50 per gallon. Expect it to reach $5 within a week, and we all know how that will affect the price of everything else, from food to hard goods to lumber, building supplies and automobiles.

Everything we read is that evil Putin is on the ropes and is running out of options. It will only get worse for him.

But the truth is, that Biden is desperate and on the ropes. He can’t win this war.

All talk is about escalation rather than capitulation. Why not end this fiasco by agreeing to the neutrality of Ukraine.

Those who know me know that I don’t watch many long videos or news shows because there are only so many hours in a day – and I can cover more ground, and learn more, by reading multiple sources. And I am pretty much deaf – so there’s that!

It also came out yesterday that Biden gave the media (FOX, Newsmax, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and more) over ONE BILLION to promote vaccines and mandates. NOT KIDDING. Yes, our Government gave the fake news our tax dollars to help Big Pharma. So, I’m guessing that Biden is also giving the fake news our money to push war in Ukraine & demonize Putin. Now it all makes sense.

Biden doesn’t want to stop the invasion. He wants to use it.

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM     Mar 8/22 

The Biden administration is doing everything possible to exploit the Ukraine crisis without doing anything to actually stop it. Its policies are a laundry list of leftist agendas that cynically betray the people fighting and dying on the ground without doing anything to actually halt the invasion.

An unpopular administration has been gifted a crisis by Putin and is seeing to it that it doesn’t go to waste. Biden had been unable to evade the blame for rising gas and food prices, but going forward the skyrocketing price of gas and food, in particular anything with wheat, will be blamed on the Russian invasion. While the invasion will certainly impact energy and food prices, the fundamental force driving the price hikes is still inflation caused by government spending.

Netanyahu on Monday lambasted the government for what he called its “silence” vis-à-vis the emerging nuclear deal with Iran,

By  Yehuda Shlezinger, ISRAEL HAYOM     03-08-2022

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday lambasted the government for what he called its “silence” vis-à-vis the emerging nuclear deal with Iran, saying their actions are “engendering Israel’s future.”

Speaking during a Likud faction meeting, Netanyahu asserted that “the Bennett-Gantz-Lapid government shows only weakness, weakness, and more weakness. They have capitulated to the US administration when agreeing to a policy of zero surprises – meaning that Israel will not act against the Iranian nuclear program without first coordinating it with the Americans, who will undoubtedly oppose such action and may even jeopardize things by leaking them.”

• [A]t least two men from Iran’s Quds Force… are planning to assassinate former US National Security Advisor John R. Bolton…. However, Biden administration officials do not want to indict the Iranian assassins, for fear of disrupting the “progress” in Vienna, Austria, of a globally catastrophic “nuclear deal,” during which the interests of the United States are being negotiated by – Russia!
• Similar assassination plots, according to the report, also exist against former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other officials serving the United States now or who have served.

Xi Jinping (China), Vladimir Putin (Russia), Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil), Narendra Modi (India) and Cyril Ramaphosa (South Africa), the BRICS group.

The BRICS alliance is a strategic geopolitical partnership between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.  The nature of the alliance is based on trade and big picture economics.

Readers familiar with our discussions of trade and international finance, will remember the importance we previously discussed with BRICS after the 2016 election and President Trump representing economic nationalism for the first time in several generations.  In this outline, we are going to share the bigger picture of why BRICS should now be back on the center stage of American focus.

Legal proceedings are being carried out with scant regard for the law. In some cases, the law is blatantly disregarded; in others, factual evidence is ignored; in yet others, infractions are invented to fabricate charges. All cases have been approved by the courts.

RIYADH – Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman discussed the future of the Kingdom and its economy, as well as foreign policy stances involving Iran, Israel and the US.

In an published by The Atlantic on Thursday, the Crown Prince affirmed that no one have the right to interfere in the Kingdom’s internal affairs, pointing out that the Kingdom is a G20 country growing fast.

I’ve been coming back here since 2019. Every time it’s a little more different, more modern, more advanced, 2030 gets closer, and it gets a little bit more like Dubai, even a little bit more like America. Do you think Saudi Arabia will become less Saudi and more like the rest of the world?

Concentration camps. Death is looming. Separation of lovers. Naked bodies in queue for showers of gas poison. Only way out of the despair on this march to imminent death in the crematorium is to surrender to the thoughts of a loved one.

…not exactly the imagery I concocted in my head when I listened for the last 30+ years to the prolific love hymn by Leonard Cohen. But, boy oh boy, was I wrong…!

I have read multiple western analysts discuss the Russia/Ukraine situation. For me, the Russia/Ukraine debacle is all political theater designed to deflect public attention away from Biden’s demented incompetence and the pandemic, and refocus public attention on the fearsome specter of war. I will explain.

The Russia/Ukraine events are staged political theater with lethal consequences – just like Jan 6th and the Covid pandemic were constructions of the managerial state with devastating lethal consequences. Death is very persuasive. Cinema verité is required to achieve globalism’s objectives.

T. Belman. Why isn’t Russia stalling this deal until the Ukraine is settled? Why would Russia want to have Iran oil replace Russian oil. Doesn’t make sense. Plus the availability of Iranian oil would reduce the price of oil and Russia’s revenue as a result.

Eurasia’s Henry Rome said “Russia may intend to use Iran as a route to bypass Western sanctions. A written guarantee allowing Russia to do so is probably well beyond the realm of what Washington can offer in the midst of a full-scale war in Ukraine.” That suggests that Russia is negotiating a sweet-heart deal for Iran in exchange of Iran cooperating with Russia to avoid sanctions.

Recently, I read that the purpose of the new deal is to slow Iran’s march to the bomb. Whatever happened to the claim that the deal is to prevent Iran from getting the bomb.

Moscow makes last-minute demands as Tehran promises to boost oil production and market shuns Russian crude.

BY STEPHANIE LIECHTENSTEIN, POLITICO    Mar 5/22

VIENNA — Moscow is throwing up last-minute demands that could scupper an international nuclear deal with Iran — and the timing is unlikely to be coincidental as the Kremlin frets about the growing threat to its critical oil revenue after its invasion of Ukraine.

Hopes had been high that international negotiators from the permanent five members of the U.N. Security Council, Germany and the EU would be able to secure a deal with Tehran on Saturday to put strict limits on Iran’s atomic work in exchange for sanctions relief for the Islamic Republic.

Paralysed by Ukraine, the Russian president will need his security services to keep him in power

 By Mark Galeotti, THE TIMES

Vladimir Putin, once a wily political operator, is painting himself into a corner. His initial calculation seems to have been that Kyiv would fall in two days and the whole operation would be over in a fortnight.

Given that Putin does not believe that Ukraine is a real country, perhaps it is not surprising that he assumed it would fall apart at the first push. The Ukrainians had different ideas and the Russians are defaulting to their more habitual way of war, assembling huge task forces and relying on massed bombardments to prepare the ground for their advance.

Jews will always forgive, always err on the side of helping their fellow man, often to their own detriment. But Ukraine?

By Valerie Sobel , INN

Israelis who want to rally for Ukraine? Why is this remarkable when there are rallies in other parts of the world?

Because the antisemitic murderous savagery of Ukrainians was only second to Nazi Germans. (Some will take me to task on this generous statement and rightfully so.)

Most of the Israeli rally enthusiasts are emigres from Ukraine, who lost ancestors in horrendous Ukrainian atrocities against the Jews. An estimated 2M people lie in unmarked graves throughout Ukraine, murdereed at the hands of Germans and their enthusiastic collaborators, Ukrainians. One of the most tragic pogroms in Ukraine against the Jews happened in 1946, after the tragedy of the Holocaust was over, at the hands of Ukraine national hero, Stepan Bandera and his loyalists.

The Jewish Press reports:

Hundreds of members of the Reform and Conservative movements from Israel and the United States arrived on Friday morning at the Kotel plaza for the Rosh Chodesh Adar B prayer. They were met with enormous resistance from mostly Haredi Jews, including an estimated ten thousand seminary women who followed the instructions of two leaders of the Haredi Lithuanian public, Rabbis Chaim Kanievsky and Gershon Edelstein, to protest the Reform and Conservative presence. Large police forces separated the two parties of obviously God-loving Jews.

There are life-and-death issues that Israel and its leaders are contending with today, and this isn’t one of them. But in the long term, the unity or lack thereof of the Jewish people will have effects on them no less serious than the threat of the Iranian bomb or the invasion of Ukraine.
