EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: IDF Chief of General Staff Aviv Kochavi’s January 26 speech conveyed important messages to multiple audiences. The most notable was that the IDF is preparing for action against Iran’s nuclear program even if it has to do it on its own.

On January 26, IDF Chief of General Staff Aviv Kochavi made a speech that addressed crystallizing changes in the regional and global arenas—first and foremost the advent of a new US administration. Kochavi was speaking to a variety of audiences: the Israeli public, the Islamic regime in Tehran, the leaderships of Hamas and Hezbollah, the international arena, and particularly the White House. The implications of his messages vary depending on the audience.

The GOP’s Marjorie Taylor Greene problem  

The extremist Georgia congresswoman has no place in a major party, and even in a toxic political environment in which Republicans feel demonized, their reluctance to act is still indefensible.

By  Jonathan S. Tobin

Two years ago, House Republican Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had no trouble in doing the right thing when it came to policing extremism in his caucus. But as calls grow for him to do something about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), McCarthy is failing to respond. That the QAnon supporter with a history of backing a wide variety of lunatic conspiracy theories, including believing that the 9/11 attacks were faked and those with clear anti-Semitic themes like her claim that California wildfires were caused by space lasers linked to the Rothschild bank, stands unrebuked by her party is not only a disgrace. It’s also a gift that will keep on giving to their Democratic foes until McCarthy acts.

REAL News (02/01/21)  

Tierney’s NEWS

Dan Scavino, Trump’s closest advisor, tweeted twice in the last day. His first post was a Panda (China) going down on a slippery slope. The second was a 30-second ad using Trump’s words and the statement “Donald Trump wins.”

TRUMP: “If I give you one message to hold in your hearts today, it’s this. Treat the word IMPOSSIBLE as nothing more than MOTIVATION. Relish the opportunity to be an outsider because outsiders change the world & make a real and lasting difference. The more a broken system tells you that you’re wrong, the more certain you must be that you must keep pushing ahead – you must keep pushing forward.”

The United Arab Emirates ambassador to the US said Monday that the normalization agreement his country signed with Israel in September was primarily “about preventing annexation.”

Yousef al-Otaiba said that while many had sought to cast the agreement in different lights to suit their own narrative, for him it was mostly about stopping Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial plan to extend Israeli sovereignty to large parts of the West Bank.

DERSHOWITZ SLAMS CNN, MSNBC, PBS for Fudging Reports on President Trump’s Jan. 6 Speech  

JTN

Alan Dershowitz, during an interview on Newsmax TV, accused media outlets of selectively editing former President Trump.

“And so I know and you know the president said peaceful and patriotic, but many Americans don’t know he used those words,” Dershowitz, a Harvard professor of law, emeritus, said regarding the president’s speech on Jan. 6, the day that the U.S. Capitol was breached by rioters.

The death toll toll stood at 4,796, with preliminary figures showing 1,433 of those fatalities in January — just under 30 percent. The figure is expected to be updated and rise later in the day.

Joe’s Jews – all hate Jews and Israel  

“THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR”

Biden Picks an Anti-Semite to Deal with Jews.

Watch Video: CLICK HERE.

By Joan Swirsky,

(Feb. 1, 2021) — Quick question: What is the most fanatical terrorist state in the world?

Quick answer: According to a 2017 report––the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is Iran.

I go back to 2017 to remind readers that this report was issued by the new Trump Administration’s State Department and that it departed radically from the assessment of Barack Obama’s State Department and the previous eight years of the Obama regime’s starry-eyed infatuation with that terrorist state, to the degree that both Barack Obama and then-VP Joe Biden were enthusiastic co-architects of the Iran deal (aka the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).

Israel and the US must team up to tackle Iran safety issues  

One of the major failings of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was that it merely delayed Iran’s program rather than stopping it.

By JPOST EDITORIAL JANUARY 31, 2021 21:30

 

Did Aviv Kochavi attack a future deal with Iran to score political points with Benjamin Netanyahu?

The attack near the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi last week claimed by the Jaish ul-Hind terrorist organization affiliated with Iran was yet another reminder that the problem with the ayatollahs’ regime in Tehran includes both its nuclear aspirations and its support of global terrorism.

One of the major failings of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was that it merely delayed Iran’s program rather than stopping it. Another drawback is that it actually rewarded Iran with a cash infusion that was not spent on alleviating economic suffering at home but on arming and galvanizing Iranian-sponsored terrorist organizations around the world.

Vote Integrity — 2/1/21 —   

AWED

Welcome to a special edition of our Energy & Environmental Newsletter… (For all 2020 Newsletters, go here.) This special issue is based on this premise:

“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing, because he could only do a little.”  — Edmund Burke

IMO there are few things more important to a free society than vote integrity. If citizen’s voices are adulterated, we are untethered from democracy.

Yes, It Was a Stolen Election – You’d have to be blind not to see it.  

T. Belman.  I highly recommend you read this great summary to the end.

By John Perazzo, FPM Wed Dec 23, 2020

<

John Perazzo is the editor of the Freedom Center’s Discover the Networks website.

As Americans continue to watch the 2020 election controversy unfold, the very same publications that spent years lying about President Trump’s “Russia collusion” are once again telling us what we are dutifully supposed to believe. The Los Angeles Times, for instance, assures us that Trump’s “baseless” and “dangerous” claim “that the election was rigged to benefit Joe Biden” has been thoroughly “debunked.”[1] The New York Times proclaims that “Trump’s false election fraud claims” are founded upon nothing more than a “torrent of falsehoods.”[2] Sneering at “how Trump drove the lie that the election was stolen,” The Washington Post mocks Republicans who “are still pretending that there was election fraud.”[3] And CNN.com warns that “Trump’s obsession with overturning the election” has now begun to spiral “out of control.”[4]

Patrick Byrne’s First Hand account of the day that Trump Actually Lost the Election by failing to Act to Expose the Massive Election Fraud . . .

A PEACEFUL Way to Resolve This Crisis (Voter Fraud)

by Patrick Bryne, written on January 11, 2021

Over the last couple of decades, as townships, counties, and states have been pitched on the virtues of electronic voting systems over the tools of Stone Age democracy (where voting was done on paper ballots with simple mechanical machines). The pitches all came with one promise: “There will always be a paper ballot fail-safe, so in the event of a broken election you can always just open the boxes and count the ballots!” I would respectfully suggest that whatever foresight caused election officials in years past to extract that commitment, whatever threshold of election uncertainty they envisioned might someday occur requiring that a measure be taken to give the public confidence in an election result…whatever that point is, has surely been breached.

Why Are Progressives So Illiberal?  

Progressives adopted identity politics and rejected class considerations because solidarity with elite minorities excuses them from concern for, or experience with, the middle classes of all races.

By 

One common theme in the abject madness and tragedies of the past 12 months is that progressive ideology now permeates almost all of our major institutions—even as the majority of Americans resist the leftist agenda. Its reach resembles the manner in which the pre-Renaissance church had absorbed the economic, cultural, social, artistic, and political life of Europe, or perhaps how Islamic doctrine was the foundation for all public and private life under the Ottoman Sultanate—or even how all Russian institutions of the 1930s exuded tenets of Soviet Marxism.

Stolen Election: States Need Not Comply, Part 3  

By February 1st, 2021

This is part 3 of my series on states’ rights.  The past few days my email box has been blasted about an unconstitutional bill introduced in the U.S. House:  Democrats Introduce Bill to ‘Massively Expand’ Mail-in Voting

“Democrat lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill dubbed the “Vote at Home Act,” which seeks to “massively expand vote-at-home ballot access,” enacting automatic voter registration and providing voters with pre-paid ballot envelopes.

“Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) introduced the bill (pdf), saying in a press release that the legislation is meant to “fight voter suppression.”

Tierney’s NEWS

As I predicted, the team of GOP establishment lawyers that Lindsey Graham & Nikki Haley recommended to defend President Trump at the impeachment trial have been REMOVED. Why? They only wanted to argue that the impeachment trial was unconstitutional – ignoring the fact that the charges made in the impeachment hoax – that Trump cited an insurrection using bogus charges of fraud – were LIES!

In other words, the RNC’s BS defense strategy is “Let’s admit that Trump is guilty of incitement & lying about the election but the trial is unconstitutional.” NOT GOING TO FLY.

Maricopa County Preventing Valid Audit of 2020 Election Results  

 and Now Media Claims State Law Prevents the County from Handing Over Ballots to an Auditor

By Joe Hoft, GP January 31, 2021 at 7:10am

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has balked and manipulated information and the media to prevent a valid audit of the  county’s 2020 election results.  Now the local media outlet ABC15 is assisting them by claiming it is against state law for the county to provide ballots to auditors to review.

It was reported yesterday that the Arizona Senate has requested an audit of the Maricopa County 2020 election results and will select the auditor themselves. You can’t blame them. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS), who oversee the election process in the county, is doing all they can to prevent a valid audit from being performed in the county.

Gaslighting: Technocracy’s Preferred Weapon of War  

by Linda Goudsmit, PUNDICITY January 30, 2021

It is my opinion that the Democrat bill, For the People Act 2021 H.R. 1 – 117th Congress (2021-2022), a laughable title, is the fatal blow to free and fair elections, and the end of the United States of America as we know it.

  • In case you think I am exaggerating, consider this checklist:
  • The coronavirus “pandemic” was an economic bioweapon designed to collapse Trump’s roaring U.S. economy, terrify Americans into submission, and justify mail-in ballots. The pandemic is and always was political medicine disguised as public health  Read more…

What drove Obama into Iran’s arms?  

What actually drove Obama to make the JCPOA deal with Iran that was not worth the paper it was written on?

By David Hersch. INN , Jan 31 , 2021

Barack Obama and Joe Biden

What actually drove Obama to make the JCPOA deal with Iran that was not worth the paper it was written on?

Strictly speaking, Obama politically came with very little experience in the Illinois Senate or in the US Senate. He had highly questionable friends who were ignored by the mainstream media who sold him as the anti-Bush. As such, he was purely a product of the media, hardly an elected group of people.
