Anna Morgan-Lloyd, the 49-year-old grandmother from Indiana who strolled into the US Capitol and spent several minutes peacefully walking around, got the same message that was delivered to Chinese dissidents and “bad elements” during Mao’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution: confess to thought crimes, embrace the state-sanctioned ideology, and you will be shown mercy. In the case of Morgan-Lloyd, the message was delivered to her by her own defense lawyer, a public defender paid by taxpayers.  And it worked. She received three years’ probation, a $500 fine, and no incarceration beyond the two days she had spent in jail following her arrest.

Julie Kelley describes at American Greatness the imposition of an ideological test on a defendant whose own lawyer was in on the brainwashing initiative:

Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy, has been quoted several times as saying he believes Trump will be reinstated as president later this year (he mentioned August). I’m very doubtful of this, if for no other reason that, realistically, at this point it would take military action, and I don’t think our “woke” military would do it.

That aside, the U.S. is clearly facing an onrushing conjunction of crises likely to hit around that time, if not sooner. First, the number of voters convinced that last year’s election was stolen refuses to budge regardless of the volume of the Establishment’s denials and ridicule — and no matter the lawfare being waged against Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Rudy Giuliani, Lindell, and others. If anything, the Establishment appears terrified of what will turn up in Maricopa Co., Arizona, and that calls for independent audits will spread to other states.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement on Thursday after removing himself as co-sponsor from the Israel Relations Normalization Act of 2021 after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee rewrote the bill to declare it is U.S. policy to push for a Palestinian state and implement authorizations to pour money into Palestinian Authority areas:

Michael Jackson & Britney Spears Duet – The Way You Make Me Feel

T. Belman. This signifies a basic difference between Trump and Obama/Biden. Trump believed in strengthening Israel as a means to strengthen the US.  Obama/Biden believe that holding out the prospect of Israeli concessions, enables the US to gain more influence with Israel’s enemies. So as long as everything is still in play, the US benefits.

In other words, Trump wanted to end the conflict and Obama/Biden want a never-ending conflict.

State Department pushes back on signature Trump admin foreign policy decision

The Biden administration is walking back the United States’ historic recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the contested Golan Heights region along Israel’s northern border, a significant blow to the Jewish state and one of the Trump administration’s signature foreign policy decisions.

The Trump administration declared the territory—seized by Israel from Syria in 1967 and later annexed by the country—to be wholly part of the Jewish state in 2019. Then-secretary of state Mike Pompeo took a trip to the area in 2020 and reaffirmed that America formally abandoned a decades-long policy of considering the area occupied.

T. Belman.  I recently wrote Victor Rosenthal the following;

I posted your terrific article, Keeping the Jewish State, Jewish with this comment,

“This is a terrific article.

I hope you follow up with an article on what Israel must do to protect Israel as the state of the Jews.

How can Israel outlaw antizionists not only from the Knesset but also from the right to vote.

How can Israel outlaw Palestinian propaganda which seeks to challenge our narrative with their contrived narrative?
How can Israel ban the celebration of the Naqba?
How can Israel enforce a different curriculum in the Arab schools which teaches the Israel narrative rather than the Arab narrative?

In short, how can we defend ourselves? Many Israelis think that democracy prevents us legislating so. But I don’t.

This article, I believe is his response.

By Victor Rosenthal

It’s not a silly question. There are serious disagreements about the answer. But there is only one answer that justifies the sacrifices that have been made to re-establish the Jewish state in its historical homeland, and those that will be required in the future to keep it.

That answer is given by Zionism, which holds that a sovereign state in the Land of Israel is a necessity to protect and preserve the Jewish people – and that their preservation is an objective worth attaining.

Tierney’s Real News (6/24/21)

As the Arizona forensic audit wraps up, and it’s not looking good for the Democrats, the Biden administration is taking desperate steps to do everything in its power to stop what’s coming. America is seriously looking more and more like a Communist dictatorship. – this is a must read.

The security cabinet will now convene frequently and on its agenda are an immediate decision about Iran, strengthening the preparations for war in the north, preparation for the possibility of aggressive action in the Gaza Strip, and above all — defining the nature of the IDF’s relations with Israeli society.

This week, the Bennett government passed its first security challenge. The flag march proceeded peacefully without provoking unnecessary shockwaves, and events in Gaza were also under control while Israel adhered to its commitment of treating balloon arson the same way it does rocket fire.

However, this is not the threshold of challenges that the new government will have to face in the coming years. It will be confronted with many issues, each requiring the formulation of policy and the drawing up of courses of action. It is likely that the security cabinet ? which rarely convened in recent years ? will now meet frequently for a series of in-depth discussions. On the agenda: Iran, the United States, the northern and Palestinian fronts, the structure and budget of the army, and more.

A now-retired elections clerk from Brown County, Wisconsin, says political activists working for a group funded by Mark Zuckerberg “seized control” of the November elections in key cities in the state, including Green Bay, according to a report from Just the News. Career experts found themselves sidelined as these activists made last-minute changes that may have violated state law.“They had no business doing that,” ex-Brown County clerk Sandy Juno told Just the News.

This is huge. Those of us who have had hopes that Saudi Arabia can transformed from a sponsor of hardline jihad into a modernizing force in the Islamic world have cause for hope.

In Israel’s Creeping Coup D’etat I claimed that the Israeli elite is driven by two fundamental goals:

– Ending the “occupation” at any cost

– Turning Israel from a Jewish state into a “state for all its citizens”.

Despite all his flaws Netanyahu was the only one who resisted these plans, and that is why he was so hated by the elite. This hatred grew into paranoia, fanatical frenzy, a kind of sectarian cult.

T. Belman. How long can everyone moderate their goals. This can only be possible if they are satisfied focusing on their common agenda.  Is that enough to get them to forego their professed ideologies.

Washington needs to be smart and sensitive to what it demands from Israel, lest steps it takes leads to this government’s downfall.

The only way the current Bennett-Lapid government can last – a government that includes Meretz and Labor on the Left, Yamina and New Hope on the Right, and Ra’am (United Arab List) – is for the parties to put their ideologies in their pockets.

At least temporarily. At least for the duration of this government’s life.

That means, for instance, that Meretz is going to have to stop pushing an anti-settlement agenda, and Yamina must not push a pro-settlement one. In that context, Meretz MK Mossi Raz’s co-sponsorship of a conference in the Knesset on Tuesday discussing Israel as an “apartheid state” is the type of stunt that will shorten the life of this government.

There has been a recent push in the US to utilize the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a “go-between” to ensure that aid to Gaza reaches civilians and is not pocketed by Hamas, the terrorist group currently controlling the Palestinian territory. But what this push signifies – and what its long-term ambitions might be – deserves further examination.

The reliance on the PA to be the broker of stability in the Arab-Israeli conflict is ill-considered, because partnering with a group itself implicated in terrorist activities in order to stop terrorism represents a failure of logic. It is easy to forget that the US Congress, in the 1987 Anti-Terror Act, determined the Palestinian Liberation Organisation and its related entities to be sponsors of terrorism and a threat to US interests. The PA fits squarely within this law.

It is the vile behavior of the un-Jews towards Israel that allows the non-Jewish anti-Semites to be open about their own deep seated pathology and bigotry.

 By Victor Sharpe, INN       2018

Many years ago, posing as a supporter of the PLO, I infiltrated an Arab anti-Israel meeting held in a room above a London pub. There were mostly Arabs present with a sprinkling of non-Arabs, mostly local Brits.

Among the Brits was a man who told the audience that he was a Jew and hated Israel. His self-loathing expressed itself in hostility towards the increasingly embattled Jewish state.

But in all the bile that fell from his lips, he revealed a total lack of knowledge about Judaism and Jewish history – certainly he exhibited no understanding of the rebirth of Israel in its ancestral and biblical homeland or of the immense odds of its survival in the face of enormous Arab and Muslim aggression.
