Ukraine is Rebuilding its Military From Scratch  

Peloni:  Notably, the first step to fixing a problem is to recognize that a problem exists.  After 3yrs of fighting, it seems someone finally told Ukraine that such a problem exists in their archaic battle formations, but it might take another 3yrs of fighting to see them deal with the problem in a way which addresses the issues as if the losses they have suffered are both substantive and diminishing.  Recall that Ukraine has suffered three major deficiencies in this war, men, munitions and morale.  While the rotations and re-locating vast aspects of the Ukrainian forces have been an attempt to deal with the shortage of men, it can hardly have helped the issue of morale.   Indeed, after watching this video, which demonstrates the chaos, stupidity, incompetence and mismanagement which has highlighted the Ukrainian war effort, the good news for Ukrainians is that the Ukrainian govt has, for the first time since the war began, opened its borders to allow young Ukrainian men, below the age of forced conscription, to leave Ukraine, though I question how long this policy will last.  A very sad commentary.

Well, as Mr. History Legends noted, this is Ukraine of course.

Rubio Bars Mahmoud Abbas From Entering U.S. Ahead Of Palestinian Statehood Push At UN  

Peloni:  America should be banning any terrorist from visiting the US, and they should likewise be banned from speaking before the gathering of nations.  This would seem to be a simple standard to support, even though it hasn’t been.

Bravo! The Palestinian Authority is Hamas, and Hamas is the Palestinian Authority. The Trump Administration again shows moral clarity, while much of the world seeks to recognize a Palestinian terror state.

FDA Approves New COVID-19 Vaccines, Withdraws Emergency Authorization: What to Know  

Janet Levy: Curious that there was absolutely NO admission of the enormous harm that was caused by the injections.  Trump is still lauding his “successful” OWS!

This FDA announcement serves to dissipate some of the opposition so that the development of self-amplifying (gain-of-function) and trans-amplifying (creating Humans 2.0 with genetic engineering) RNA platforms (really modified messenger RNA) for humans and animals can continue.

Transhumanism and technocracy (Stargate) are primary goals of the Great Reset, an enterprise sponsored by the World Economic Forum in partnership with the United Nations to implement the alternative economic system of “Sustainable Development.”  “You will have nothing and you will be happy.”

I began writing about the persecution of British journalist Tommy Robinson several years ago during President Trump’s first term in office (2017-2021). An article I wrote in July 2019, “The Humanitarian Hoax of Tommy Robinson’s Conviction: The Death of Free Speech,” became Hoax 38: The Humanitarian Hoax of Tolerism, in my 2020 release, The Book of Humanitarian Hoaxes: Killing America with ‘Kindness’ (pp. 169-173). The importance of Tommy Robinson cannot be exaggerated or overstated.

Is Syria’s New Leader a Reformed Terrorist or Deceptive Strategist?  

Peloni:  The resistance to requiring Jolani to demonstrate that he is actually a moderate only ensures the fact that the reforms which he promised will not be forthcoming.  Even if he were earnestly inclinded towards reforming Syria, doing so will come with a political cost and a political risk, neither of which Jolani will have an interest in pursuing if US support is not contingent him doing so.

Will NATO Choose War to “Solve” the Ukraine Crisis?  

Peloni:  Is Washington changing course or is this more diplomatic gesticulations?

Peace Talks Appear to be Dead

Stephen Bryen | Weapons & Strategy | Aug 28, 2025

There is growing evidence that not only have the peace talks for Ukraine stalled, but NATO has won over Washington to not only continue the war, but to expand it.

While Putin has flown off to meet with his two buddies, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un, in China on an unprecedented four day jaunt, NATO, with full US backing, is stepping up its effort to hand the Russian army a major defeat and, following that, introducing NATO troops to “stabilize” Ukraine.

The master architect behind the technocratic takeover of the Trump Administration is Peter Thiel  

Peloni:  As the AI revolution is expanding across the globe, the clarity of this revolution having a guiding hand in the Trump administration has been clear enough since the first days of the administration when multi billion dollar public-private behemoth known as Operation Stargate was first announced.  As discussed in the article linked below, the indication of some puppet master orchestrating the administration’s well conceived deployment of AI to effect the replacement of democratic liberties with technocratic controls has been quite convincing.   Please read the basis of Patrick Wood’s conclusions that this Svengali of the tech driven era is actually Peter Thiel and share your thoughts.

The world is waking up  

Peloni:  Jordan is Palestine.  By denying this fact, it denies the rights of the majority of Jordan’s population.  It also denies the rights of the Palestinian Arabs living in Judea and Samaria as well as those of the Gazans.  For too long the world has remained quiescent, supportive and complicit in the weaponization of these parties as a tool by which to bludgeon their Israeli neighbors, and for far too long Israel was compliant in allowing this gross humanitarian crisis to be leveraged against them.  The days when such iniquities are tolerated, at least by Israel, are over.  It is time to declare, once and for always, that Jordan was created as the Arab Palestinian state, and remains as such to this day, while Israel was recognized as the reconstituted Jewish State, and that the only thing which grants Jordan any legitimacy is its creation being agreed upon in the same moment that Israel’s reconstitution was recognized, over a century ago during the Cairo Conference of 1921.

Mudar Zahran

The world is waking up, An Israeli American influencer; “The Hashemite Kingdom (Jordan) is the most illegitimate state in the entire region. And if we consider Israel an illegitimate state, then by what logic can one justify that a king of Saudi origin occupies Palestinian land? It is an occupying and apartheid state ruled by newcomers from the Arabian Peninsula, where Palestinians are deprived of their most basic right to self-determination on their land. This state is nothing but a bastard product of an illegitimate union between British colonialism and the joint Arab occupation of this region….”

Qatar Does Not Seem Interested in Any Deal that Ends the Rule of Hamas in the Gaza Strip: What Qatar Is Saying in Arabic

E3 Triggers ‘Snapback’ Mechanism to Reimpose UN Sanctions on Iran  

Peloni:  This is long overdue, and even as the E3 has finally triggered the Snapback, it is being done with the most obvious effort to give Iran every chance to evade the consequences which it has earned years ago.  Peace thru strength, if applied properly, can be a strong deterrant to bad actors, but such fecklessness as demonstrated by the E3 as they have tolerated and supported the interests of the rogue Iranian state is the very opposite of what has been needed to deter Iran, which is why they are still not deterred even with the announcement of the Snapback mechanism being triggered.

Latest Developments

  • ‘Snapback’ Process Initiated: The United Kingdom, France, and Germany — collectively known as the E3 — triggered the “snapback” mechanism on August 28 to begin the process of reimposing harsh UN sanctions against Iran over its “significant non-performance” of its nuclear commitments. The trio came to the decision a few days ahead of the deadline to initiate the process after efforts to negotiate with Iran failed and the Islamic Republic continued to block International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors from its nuclear facilities. The “snapback” mechanism enshrined in UN Security Council Resolution 2231 — which endorsed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal — would freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals, and penalize Iran’s ballistic missile development.

CONTAMINATING OUR COUNTRY SINCE ITS FOUNDING

A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the right which God has given them cannot be enslaved.  It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.  Benjamin Franklin

Selective Humanitarianism and the Demonization of Israel  

Peloni:  As I have stated previously:  “Fake famines and fake genocides in Gaza earned instantaneous support and outrage from across the West, while real famines and real genocides are ignored by these same sources of outrage.  There is a foul sickness in the West which supports such nonsense charges against Israel, while ignoring the ongoing slaughter across Africa.  It is called antisemitism, the old hatred, which must be understood to stand uniquely apart from other forms of hatred, as clearly depicted by the cruel use of selective rage against Israel for a given charge of atrocities, even when it is obviously false from the outset.

Focus of international outrage must be made to deal with real atrocities, and in the process save what remains of the Christian communities across Africa which have been abandoned to suffer the cruel fate, which is only imagined in Gaza to suit an antisemitic agenda.” 

Michael Derfler

Famine declareed in South Sudan over one year ago.  Screengrab via Youtube

I. Introduction

Human suffering should command moral clarity. Famine, war, and displacement ought to provoke a universal outcry, regardless of geography, politics, or identity. Yet in today’s international discourse, outrage is applied unevenly—most vocally when one country, Israel, is involved. This essay explores the famine declared in Gaza in 2025 and contrasts it with the far more extensive but largely ignored hunger catastrophe in Sudan, among other countries. It argues that the disproportionate response toward Israel reflects not just political double standards, but often the repackaging of centuries-old antisemitic patterns into the language of human rights and humanitarianism.

It’s Only Words…but…  

Peloni:  It is time to take the gloves off and bring the real debate before the public.  Change the preference of hasbara into something more substantially useful in both defensive and offensive responses and anticipations of the fantasies leveraged by our enemies.  Having the means to win an argument requires that we make the argument as clear, quick and vocal as possible, as Joan explains below, and of course, it is an important asset to have the truth to back these arguments up, which we clearly do.

Before I make my case, can we all agree that Jews are smart?  Yes, we have our share of dumb, dense dolts, but when it comes to objective, empirical, irrefutable evidence of intellectual accomplishments, there is really no arguing with the smart — and often brilliant — label.
