The Exposee article was misleading and incendiary.  

By Ted Belman and Peloni

I recently posted

Triple & Double Vaccinated accounted for 4 in every 5 Covid-19 Deaths in England over the past month despite most vulnerable getting Booster in October 

BY THE EXPOSÉ 

The latest figures published by the new UK Health Security Agency on Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths show that the vaccinated population still accounted for 4 in every 5 Covid-19 deaths over the past four weeks even though those who are deemed to be the most vulnerable to Covid-19 received their “booster” jab in September and October.

Then in a day or two, regretted having done so. Nothing in the article supports the conclusions in the title or the first paragraph.

The frog in the boiling water  

Those of us living outside Israel should not counsel Israelis in the line of fire, but here are two stories about that boiling water. Op-ed.

By Howard Rotberg, INN

In a couple of recent articles, such as “ “Attack on nuclear facilities or full-blown war on Iran?” December 16, 2021, and “What the public doesn’t know about an attack on Iran” December 17, 2021, veteran Israeli journalist Yoav Limor seeks to analyze the threat from Iran if it is not stopped in its quest for nuclear weapons (which Iran promises will be used against Israel). He is of the opinion that the generals and the politicians have been too passive in their thinking that America will keep its word to assist Israel in its prospective actions against Israel.

While I am not qualified to be a security analyst, it is hard to argue with those who now regret Israel’s failures to take stronger action against Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, before the advent of a problematic and perhaps anti-Israel American administration, and an Israel government now containing Islamists in a governing coalition.

Extremist Left Wing is Attempting to Derail the World Zionist Congress’ Efforts to Combat Antisemitism  

 (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:

The World Zionist Congress (the “WZC” – the worldwide parliament of the Jewish people) has a “Va’ad Hapoel” (working committee) – a “mini” World Zionist Congress, consisting of approximately one quarter of each slate’s representatives, that meets annually during the “off years” when the full World Zionist Congress does not meet.

This year, the WZC Va’ad Hapoel is meeting virtually on December 19-21. The theme of this year’s Va’ad Hapeol is supposed to be “Combating Antisemitism” – an effort that is desperately needed at this time when physical and verbal attacks on Jews and Israel are dramatically rising all over America and the world. Jews are no longer safe in the streets of Los Angeles, Boston, New York, London, Paris, Lod and Jerusalem, from attacks perpetrated by Islamists, Arab Israelis (against their Jewish neighbors), the Black Lives Matter organization, Black Muslims, other Marxist and anti-Israel groups, and neo-Nazis. In the halls of the U.S. Congress, Congresspersons Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, AOC, Cori Bush, Betty McCollum and others spew antisemitic venom and promote anti-Israel legislation with impunity.

Powerful Backlash Building Against Woke Anti-Americanism  

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun | Dec 19, 2021

December 26 will mark the 30th anniversary of the disintegration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and with it, the collapse of international communism. Political scientist Francis Fukuyama spoke for many when he said that we were “at the end of history” and that there would be no political evolution beyond what appeared to be the total triumph of liberal democracy.

This can clearly be seen now as a hopeful view inflated by triumphalism. China has risen to take the place of the Soviet Union, which itself replaced the Nazi German Third Reich as the principal rival to western democracy. One could easily imagine, looking at the feeble and inadequate regime now in office in Washington and imagine that the West, haltingly led by the United States and infested by appeasers and defeatists, was once again under severe challenge by a transoceanic, totalitarian power.

What’s in it for the US in its “foreign aid” to Israel?  

Why the annual US’ $3.8bn to Israel constitute a most productive investment in – not foreign aid to – Israel, yielding several hundred percent annual rate-of-return to the US. Op-ed.

By Amb. (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, INN

Military Intelligence in the fieldFlash 90

1. The return on the annual US investment in Israel

*On October 2021 and January 2020, Israel’s intelligence alerted the US of Iranian drone and missile attacks on US military installations in Southern Syria and Iraq. 200 US soldiers (in Syria) and 1,500 US soldiers (in Iraq) took effective shelter.

*The scope of Israeli intelligence shared with the US exceeds the intelligence provided by all NATO countries combined. It includes data on Iran’s global terrorism and nuclear and ballistic programs; Islamic terrorism targeting the US and pro-US Arab regimes; battle tactics and military systems of US rivals and enemies; Israeli-developed technologies and battle tactics neutralizing hostile capabilities; Soviet nuclear-equipped intercontinental ballistic missiles; etc.

Ukraine, NATO, and the Most Fateful Error of American Policy  

By Alexander Markovsky and Ted Belman

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact, NATO, in a violation of the verbal agreement between Secretary of State James Baker and Russian Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, launched a massive expansion to the east.

This expansion can be seen from Moscow only as a strategy to encircle Russia and turn its neighbors into hostile countries. As long as Russia was economically and military weak, the process proceeded unabated. NATO has grown from 16 countries before the reunification of Germany, to 28 today.

George Kennan, American diplomat and author of the concepts of “Cold War” and “containment,” prophetically warned America about the danger of this policy in the New York Times on February 5, 1997: Read more…

“A Global Coup Has Been Carried Out Across the World – Has Destroyed the Very Foundations of the Rule of Law” – Archbishop Vigano’s Message to America (Transcript and Audio)  

By Joe Hoft, GATEWAY PUNDIT

He shared his message below:

DEAR AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEAR FRIENDS, for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal side effects. We all know how much the mainstream media has contributed to supporting the insane pandemic narrative, the interests that are at stake, and the goals of these groups of power: reducing the world population, making those who survive chronically ill, and imposing forms of control that violate the fundamental rights and natural liberties of citizens. And yet, two years after this grotesque farce started, which has claimed more victims than a war and destroyed the social fabric, national economies, and the very foundations of the rule of law, nothing has changed in the policies of Nations and their response to the so-called pandemic.

Fauci and the Creation of the Bio-Security State  

Bannon also interviewed Robert F Kennedy Jr here,

By Roger Kimball, EPOCH TIMES Dec 6/21

A new populist spirit, represented by Donald Trump, among others, has led to a reshuffling of seemingly settled ideological alliances. The reshuffling is ongoing.

I know this because I find myself approving of at least parts of “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” the new bestseller book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

It’s odd indeed that I find myself in nodding agreement with an anti-vax climate warrior named Kennedy, but there you are—or, rather, here we are.

COVID Effectively Eradicated In Population of 241 Million, Only 16% Jabbed, Big Media Silent [VIDEO]  

This could be considered the biggest medical miracle nobody knows about.

BY 

The COVID Cult has spread COVID fear and hysteria for over a year, and you would think that if there were a massive success against the coronavirus, it would at least get some attention, right?

Well, in the Indian province of Uttar Pradesh, they had what some would call a medical miracle.

This massive success got very little coverage. Ask yourself why. Connect the dots. Follow the money.

Fentanyl Overdoses Leading Cause of Deaths in America in 2020 for the under 50 crowd  

By 

The government has reported that, since the year 2020, fentanyl overdoses have become the new leading cause of death for American adults between the ages of 18 and 45, as reported by Fox News.

The analysis from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) shows that nearly 79,000 Americans died from the drug between 2020 and 2021. Of those, just over 37,000 died in 2020 while almost 42,000 died in 2021. Fentanyl is an opioid that is sometimes laced with other drugs such as meth and heroin when used by addicts, but can also be deadly on its own in even small doses. The primary foreign sources for imports of the drug are China and Mexico.

The COVID Scam: The Progressive Path to Power, and Tyranny  

By J. Deane Waldman, M.D, AM THINKER

Physicians who still practice medicine cannot afford to write or say the following for fear of being canceled.  As a retired physician, I cannot be coerced to keep silent with threats to my medical license or hospital privileges.

COVID-19 is probably the greatest and most successful swindle in history. By comparison, Carlo Ponzi and Bernie Madoff were pikers. The COVID scam has affected most of earth’s 7.8 billion inhabitants, consumed trillions of dollars, and achieved a level of government control unprecedented in modern democracies.

The COVID “pandemic of fear” is a con, perpetrated by those in power to extend and expand their power. Their scheme is simple. Take a new flu-like respiratory virus created in China, COVID-19; tout it as a threat to all human life; suspend (temporarily, of course!) personal liberty and freedom; then justify their tyranny by asserting a need to protect all Americans from death by virus.
When the threat recedes, redefine the terms, demand vaccine passports, and booster shots to maintain public fear. As new viral variants evolve such as Delta or Omicron, resume draconian measures including masks and lockdowns, more boosters, and loss of employment if unvaccinated.

Where Do You Think We Live?  

By Victor Rosenthal

I’ve been writing regularly for fifteen years, and to my very great sorrow, there is one story that I find myself writing over and over. Here is the 19 December 2021 version:

On Thursday night, three yeshiva students were riding in a car near Homesh, which is in Samaria northwest of Shechem (the site of the biblical story of the rape of Dina and the “disproportionate” reaction of her brothers Shimon and Levi). Arab terrorists fired on the car from ambush with automatic weapons, killing Yehuda Dimentman, 25 years old, married and the father of an 9-month old child, and wounding two others.

Israel approved a law censuring social media . (What a horror story)  

T. Belman. This Bill is an abomination. It empowers a judge to censure free speech when the exercise of it “publicity that undermines a person’s dignity, or embarrasses him or her.”  When Israel passed a basic law to preserve a person’s dignity without defining “dignity” it left the door open to the High Court to define it and so it did to the detriment of Zionism.

This bill goes further to put a ban on people “embarrassing” people. This is similar to the Anti-Islamophobia Bill that recently passed in Congress. That proposed law purports to protect people’s feelings. In reality it protects Islam from criticism. Whatever happened to the market place of ideas?

This is the new normal that is sweeping the world. It used to be that freedom of Speech protected your right to hurt people’s feelings. Freedom of Speech was more important than protecting people’s feelings. No longer.

The debate over the exercise of free speech centered around, not hurt feelings, but whether the message was true or not. Did Free Speech give you the right to lie. Does free speech protect Holocaust denial. In R v Keegstra, the Supreme Court of Canada “ultimately ruled against Holocaust denial by deciding that Canada’s hate laws imposed a “reasonable limit” on a person’s freedom of expression.” That was the beginning of the attack on free speech. Ultimately  European Courts went so far as to rule that you couldn’t tell the truth about Islam even if all you did was quote passages from the Koran. The Blasphemy Law makes it criminal to do so.

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is aggressively campaigning against a bill proposed by the Bennett coalition to enable judges to block violent posts on social media.

By Mazal Mualem, AL MONITOR    Dec 14/21

Israel’s parliament approved ?????? a bill that would allow authorities to remove certain posts supporting illegal activities from social media at a preliminary reading Dec. 8. During the stormy Knesset debate, Opposition Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu banged on the table and hissed, “I want to tell you how absurd and dangerous this is. Have you forgotten that we are a democracy? This is terribly dangerous.”

“It’s a law to shut up those of us Right-wingers,” added Religious Zionist Chairman Bezalel Smotrich. “First you took control of most of Israel’s institutionalized media, now you want to become the censors of the social networks — which is the only place that the Right, the state’s National Zionist camp, can express itself freely — now you want to stifle this too. … You’ll label everything we say as incitement or violence.”

In Poll, 93% of Palestinian Arabs in Jerusalem Prefer Israeli to Palestinian Rule  

BY 

As is well known, kak izvestno, comme nous le savons tous, come sappiamo tutti, Israel is surely a hell on earth, a nasty little Sparta always picking fights with its inoffensive neighbors, a settler-colonial state erected on stolen land, an apartheid state that blights the lives of innocent Palestinians, a vicious statelet that makes of Gaza an open-air prison, a neighborhood bully that routinely thumbs its nose at the international community, which just the other day at the UN passed nine resolutions denouncing Israel for its mistreatment of the Palestinians, its illegal settlements, its brutal settlers, its wolfish inhumanity. Who can not feel sympathy for Israeli Arabs, or for Palestinian Arabs living in places like East Jerusalem, who must want so desperately to be free at last from the endless oppression of the Zionists? What can one say, confronted with such cruelty? Oh, the humanity!

Okay, now that we’ve gotten that farcical riff or idiotic niffnoff out of the way, the idiocy that Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Linda Sarsour, Peter Beinart, and Roger Waters, among so many others, want you to believe, let’s have a salutary dose of reality, shall we?

What the public doesn’t know about an attack on Iran  

For the last six months, the IDF has been working feverishly to prepare for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. It entails incredibly complex strategic and diplomatic planning, along with preparations for possible responses from Iran, Hezbollah, and Gaza. 

By  Yoav Limor, ISRAEL HAYOM        12-17-2021 12:30

Any strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities will entail intensive planning | File photo: Getty Images

A lot of words have been devoted in the past few weeks to the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran. One after another, senior officials in the defense establishment and the political echelon have made it clear that as far as Israel is concerned, “all the options are on the table” when it comes to stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

There is a clear purpose to these threats: to push Western powers to take a more aggressive line on Tehran. They are mostly aimed at the US administration, which has consistently declared that it will not allow Iran to nuclearize, but in effect, is taking a passive stance. To put it simply, Israel is telling the world that if it won’t stop Iran, we will have to take military action.
