Saudis say Temple Mount is for Jews, Mecca is for Muslims  

Saudi Twitter users say that Muslims should be praying only towards Mecca.

By Shlomo Witt, INN,  Mar 07 , 2021 4:55 PM

Temple Mount

Temple Mount

Last week, Saudi Twitter pages began to promote the message that ‘the direction of Jewish prayers do not matter to me”.

The campaign, designed to emphasize the importance of Mecca and Medina as the holy places of Islam, and to eliminate the importance of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, has caused considerable controversy online.

Critical Race Theory is fomenting race wars  

by Linda Goudsmit, PUNDICITY March 6, 2021

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a binary theoretical framework rooted in Marxism, that defines individuals as either oppressed or oppressors based on their skin color. Critical Race Theory insists that white people are oppressors and people of color are oppressed. CRT is an obscene and entirely unAmerican doctrine because it views every individual through the prism of race, rather than the prism of merit.

Two notable black leaders in American race relations had diametrically opposed views on the subject. Martin Luther King advocated the American ideal of judging a person on the content of his character, not the color of his skin. Malcolm X embraced the anti-American, CRT prism that judges everyone and everything through the prism of race. What could be more racist?

How Orwell’s Vision Might Become Reality  

By Victor Rosenthal

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail – its roof may shake – the wind may blow through it – the storm may enter – the rain may enter – but the King of England cannot enter. – Wm. Pitt the Elder (1763)

What is true of one’s home, that it ought to be protected from undesired entry, especially by agents of the ruling power, is even more true of one’s inner self.

But throughout history there are examples of attempts to invade our minds, by governments, political parties, churches, corporations, criminals, and others. The Holy Inquisition aimed to ferret out heresy, beliefs that contradicted church doctrine. Importantly, the crime of being a heretic did not require public affirmation of heresy; merely believing it was criminalized. And therefore it was often necessary to torture those who were reticent about their beliefs in order to expose them so they could be properly punished. Although it was understood that torture was unreliable, how else do you establish guilt for a crime whose evidence exists only in someone’s head?

After Finding Shredded Ballots in the Dumpster Earlier Today – A Mysterious Fire Breaks Out at Maricopa County Official’s Farm  

By Joe Hoft, GP

The Arizona Maricopa County election coverup continues.  These crooks are doing all they can to obstruct justice and tamper with evidence because they know they can get away with it.

The Arizona Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) on Wednesday loaded its 2020 Election ballots on a truck for delivery to the Arizona Senate.  After months of attempting to obtain access to the ballots, the Senate won a court case where the judge ordered the ballots to be produced to the Senate.  So immediately before being told when and where to deliver the ballots, the MCBOS loaded the ballots onto a truck even though the Senate had not yet asked for the ballots.  It is not believed that this move of the ballots was performed under the proper chain of custody.

Judge Releases Dominion Audit Report: System ‘Designed’ to ‘Create Systemic Fraud’  

“WE CONCLUDE THAT THE DOMINION VOTING SYSTEM IS INTENTIONALLY AND PURPOSEFULLY DESIGNED WITH INHERENT ERRORS TO CREATE SYSTEMIC FRAUD AND INFLUENCE ELECTION RESULTS.”

BEST NEWS HERE

ANTRIM COUNTY, Mich. — A forensic audit report of Dominion voting machines in Michigan’s Antrim County — which received national attention after it was discovered that an “error” “flipped” 6,000 votes for President Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden — was released Monday after a judge allowed the report to be unsealed. It said the “vote flip occurred because of machine error built into the voting software designed to create error.”

The report, produced by a group working on behalf of Antrim County resident William Bailey, who filed a lawsuit against the county challenging the integrity of the election equipment, claims that the “error” that “flipped” the 6,000 votes was “machine error.” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson previously concluded that the problem was caused by “human error,” Daily Wire reported.

Putin’s Former Chief of Staff Calls Trump a Champion against New World Order  

By Lynn Corum, AM THINKER

Sergey Ivanov, Vladimir Putin’s former chief of staff, currently on the Russian Federation Security Council, has weighed in on the “historical scale of the personality and achievements of President Donald Trump” in an op-ed for Eurasia Daily.  I have changed not a word of what he has to say.  In his national ideology, Putin warns repeatedly of the dangers from the “Transnationalists” (Proekt Rossiya [Project Russia], EKSMO Press, 2014).  The Russians are joined by the British with their Brexit and the French with their Front National led by populist Marine Le Pen.  Populism actually straddles the Atlantic, and Donald Trump is regarded as its hero.

As Ivanov observes, if Joe Biden, the American Deep State, and the world global elites have called Donald Trump the “worst president in U.S. history,” well, it is because they know best who is the worst — for them.

Middle East Peace Abandoned by Biden  

The new administration’s actions have served to undermine the accords by removing their American foundations.
Iraq Releasing Billions in Iranian Frozen Assets with US Approval

By Caroline Glick

The Trump administration was on the verge of securing a peace agreement between Israel and Indonesia in its final weeks in office, according to a former senior Trump administration official involved in the efforts. The official divulged that the negotiations between Israel and the world’s most populous Muslim state were run by then-President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner and Adam Boehler, then-head of the International Development Finance Corporation.

Israel was represented by then-Ambassador Ron Dermer and Indonesia by Minister Mohamed Lutfi. To secure peace, Boehler told Bloomberg News last December, the United States would be willing to provide Indonesia with an additional “one or two billion dollars” in aid. Indonesia was interested in Israeli technology and even wanted the Technion to open a campus in Jakarta. It wanted visa-free travel to the Jewish state and Arab and U.S. investment in its sovereign wealth fund. Israel wanted Indonesia to end its economic boycott of the Jewish state. Direct flights from Tel Aviv to Bali were on the table.

Decertification begins  

GA STATE SENATE COMMITTEE recommends decertifying GA Electors

The Georgia Senate Committee released its report on the election irregularities and quite possibly fraudulent activity when it came to counting the votes. They had listened to witnesses telling what they saw and other evidence that shakes people’s ability to trust the election report. They voted to rescind their certification.

Georgia had over 16,000 more absentee ballots than they counted on election night. Just enough extra votes to put Biden in the lead by about 12,000 votes. In Fulton County, they threw the Republicans and the press out because they said they were done counting for the night. As soon as the coast was clear, they pulled out suitcases full of votes.

Iran is Blamed Of Eco-Terrorism As Oil Washes Up On Israeli Beaches  

By Ariel Cohen, FORBES

na

The Israeli government is accusing Iran of environmental terrorism over the historic oil disaster unfolding along its Mediterranean coast line. At this point, nearly 100 tons of tar and contaminated material have been scraped off the country’s shores since cleanup efforts began on the 21st of February. XXX In the ensuing investigation the original culprit has since been identified by authorities as a pirate-owned Libyan oil tanker carrying stolen cargo from Iran to Syria.

The brouhaha over defining Jews as an ethnic minority  

The notion that Judaism is both religion and peoplehood feeds the paranoid suspicions of the anti-Semite that the Jews are slippery customers who change their shape at will and thus hide in plain sight.

By  Melanie Phillips

A row over anti-Semitism that has erupted in Britain illuminates the problem that bedevils so many in the West over their understanding of what Judaism actually is.

The controversy started with a tweet by the Labour Party’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, congratulating the new head of the Scottish Labour Party, Anas Sarwar, on his appointment. Rayner described Sarwar, who is of Pakistani descent, as “the first-ever ethnic minority leader of a political party anywhere in the UK.”

Sarwar is certainly the first Muslim or Asian leader of a political party. But there have been four Jewish party leaders in the United Kingdom – from Conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli in the 19th century to Labour Party leader Ed Miliband in the last decade.

T. Belman.  Gantz gave a few messages namely 1.  100,000 missiles, 2. Civilian areas and 3 prepared to act unilaterally.

If the world doesn’t stop Iran, we must defend ourselves by ourselves.\

By Elad Benari, INN

Defense Minister Benny Gantz told Fox News in an interview on Thursday that the IDF is updating plans to strike Iranian nuclear sites and is prepared to act independently.

Israel has identified numerous targets inside Iran that would hurt its ability to develop a nuclear bomb, he said.

“If the world stops them before, it’s very much good. But if not, we must stand independently and we must defend ourselves by ourselves,” Gantz added in his first sit-down interview with an American outlet.

The US Confers Legitimacy on the Palestinian Authority and Hamas – Toward a Palestinian State?  

T. Belman.  My advise to Israel is not to open the door for the Biden administration.  They don’t have your best interest at heart.  They are fronting for all leftwing Jewish organizations like J Street and the Reform Movement and others who want to force Israel to accept a two state solution. They also have there own agenda which is to weaken Israel and strengthen Iran.

Israel is an strong independent country and should act like it. They don’t need America to intercede in their relationship with the Palestinians or with the Gulf States.  Biden will just screw it up.

By Lt. Col. (res.) Dr. Mordechai Kedar, BESA    March 5, 2021

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,949,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Since taking office, the Biden administration has been in direct contact with Palestinian Authority leaders, encouraged and assisted by Israeli leftists who want to bring a Palestinian state into existence as quickly as possible. The Israeli government is not in the picture except in one regard: the administration is pressuring PM Netanyahu to enable Palestinian elections not only in the West Bank and Gaza but also in East Jerusalem, which would prove to the world that Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is no longer valid.

In Search of a Miracle   

Why start from scratch when you can stand on the shoulders of giants? 

EPOCH TIMES

Konstantin Levin
Konstantin Levin in Anna Karenina (2012 film)

Many writers consider Anna Karenina the greatest work of literature ever.  Aside from being a novel about betrayal, faith, family and marriage, Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is also a story about one man’s search for meaning in a complicated world.

Konstantin Levin, the story’s second main character, spends a large portion of the novel trying to figure out how his wife Kitty could believe in a higher power he’s never seen any signs of.

Harvard Law School and The New McCarthyism

  • This self-serving defense of censorship is intended to convey a crass economic threat: if you want to get a good job after law school, make sure that Harvard bans teachers and speakers who are trying to “rehabilitate their reputations and obscure the stain of their complicity in the Trump administration….”
