T. Belman. This is outrageous.  It appears from this that these corporations are in charge and the Democratic Party are their lackies.  Not the other way around.

To my mind, these corporations should not be permitted to do this. Texas just introduced a bill that prohibits corporations like FB from interfering in how elections are run in Texas.

By Ryan Saavedra • Daily Wire • Apr 11, 2021

More than 100 corporate leaders met this weekend to plot their opposition to voter integrity laws across the United States following false statements made by far-left activists and top politicians like Democrat President Joe Biden.

CBS News reported that leaders from American Airlines, United Airlines, Levi Strauss & Co., Walmart, ViacomCBS, Ariel Investments, LinkedIn, Twitter, AMC Theaters, and “others” were invited to the leftist event.

T. Belman. Incredible.  Who would believe that the authors of this article would write it and that Newsweek would publish it.

By Einat Wilf (former MK) and Adi Swartz (former Sr Editor of Haaretz), NEWSWEEK      4/12/21 

The Biden Administration announced last week that it is resuming funding for UNRWA, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, allocating $150 Million a year as “a means to advance a negotiated two-state solution.” Whatever the Administration’s true intentions are, advancing a two-state solution cannot seriously be the goal. The Administration is consciously choosing to fund an agency that is institutionally committed to ensuring that peace will never be possible.

T. Belman.  My suggestion was that Israel Katz become PM and Netanyahu become FM.  But this was a non-starter as one can’t serve as a Minister if they are indicted. This article refers to a variation of my suggestion that would work; namely to elect Netanyahu as President and then to include the duties of the President the role of a Foreign Minister.

PM said turning his attention to pressuring Gideon Sa’ar to join him; Katz’s political adviser said to propose mandate be passed to finance minister

Unnamed senior officials from the Likud party told Kan news on Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given up on the possibility of persuading the far-right Religious Zionism party to join a coalition supported in any way by the Islamist Ra’am party.

Testimony of Reiner Fuellmich

Hello. I am Reiner Fuellmich and I have been admitted to the Bar in Germany and in California for 26 years. I have been practicing law primarily as a trial lawyer against fraudulent corporations such as Deutsche Bank, formerly one of the world’s largest and most respected banks, today one of the most toxic criminal organizations in the world; VW, one of the world’s largest and most respected car manufacturers, today notorious for its giant diesel fraud; and Kuehne and Nagel, the world’s largest shipping company. We’re suing them in a multi-million-dollar bribery case.

T. Belman.  The article refers to this assistance as “humanitarian assistance “.  So does Biden.   Congress  knows that the PA and UNRWA indoctrinate the children to hate and kill Jews.  At a minimum, I would expect such support to be contingent on UNRWA cleaning up its act. But it isn’t.

By Laura Kelly,  The Hill, 4/9/2021, 

Groups concerned about anti-Semitism are urging President Biden to take a closer look at U.S. funding for a program giving Palestinian refugee children “textbooks riddled with hateful lessons” as Biden resumes humanitarian assistance to the agency providing them.

The United States is no longer censoring its criticism of internal Saudi affairs, particularly on the issue of human rights and this, as well as other developments, encourages the Iranians to increase actions that have negative consequences for regional stability.

“The Saudis are fully reliant on the US, so they will dance to the American flute in the hope for better days,” expert says

American-Saudi ties have been growing increasingly strained in recent months – a development that will likely see the Sunni power draw even closer to Jerusalem, Israeli observers have said.

Professor Eyal Zisser, vice rector of Tel Aviv University and the holder of the Yona and Dina Ettinger Chair in Contemporary History of the Middle East, said that it appears as if relations between Washington and Riyadh are returning to the type of relationship the two countries had during the days of the Obama administration.

Duke of Edinburgh broke unofficial boycott of Israel by British royals to attend 1994 ceremony naming Princess Alice as ‘righteous among the nations’ for hiding 3 Jews from Nazis

Prince Philip, who has died at 99, was perhaps the closest member of the British royal family to Jews and Jewish causes, and in 1994 made a historic visit to Israel. Although the trip was a personal one, made to honor his mother, Princess Alice of Greece, who is buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, it marked the end of an unofficial boycott of the Jewish state by the British monarchy. His grandson Prince William made the first official royal visit in 2018.

The Deep State has done its best to portray Black Lives Matter as a moderate movement.  Wikipedia describes BLM as “a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people.”  Wikipedia says its loose structure has contributed to confusion in the press.  The confusion is convenient because it allows BLM to disavow any comments by its members the public finds offensive.  Wikipedia claims BLM, “protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful; when violence does occur, it is often committed by police or by counter-protestors.  Despite this, opponents have falsely portrayed the movement as violent.”  House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer doesn’t “accept” the premise that Antifa and BLM are violent.  ABC’s Sunny Hostin maintains that violent protests are “manufactured by the Trump campaign.”  All branches of the Deep State assert that BLM is a respectable non-violent movement.

Michael Doran, Marshall Kosloff & Michael R. Pompeo

Following is the full transcript of the April 7th, 2021 Hudson podcast titled Counterbalance – Ep. 6: Mike Pompeo on China, Iran, and the Future of American Foreign Policy

Marshall Kosloff: Welcome back to Counterbalance. Today’s guest literally requires no introduction. It’s former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. He recently joined the Hudson Institute as a distinguished fellow. It was great for Mike and I to have the chance to speak with him for actually a significant amount of time, actually on the Realignment, Saagar and I spoke to Secretary Pompeo when we were at Hudson, but it was only for 20 minutes. We actually got much more time to speak with him. And we just got into all these different, interesting topics, everything from his perspective on leadership, starting as a second Lieutenant, right out of West Point during the Cold War in West Germany, to his time as director of the Central Intelligence Agency to his tenure as Secretary of State. So a lot of really great things that I thought were really valuable. Read more…

T. Belman.  It may come down to this choice, include Ra’am in the coalition or go to a fifth election. Of course, we must know what their condition is for joining.  They will probably demand the end of the “Jewish state”.  This would be too high a price to pay.

On the other hand it may come down to depending on Sa’ar to join the government so that Ra’am or a fifth election will not be necessary. The pressure on Sa’ar will be enormous. Similarly the pressure on Netanyahu to resign will be enormous.

THIS IS A BRILLIANT ANALYSIS.

In America it now is permitted to voice publicly every imaginable profane word. They are spoken on cable television, in the filthy lyrics of the most successful songs that top the music charts, and throughout social media. The only word truly forbidden is the “N” word, the epithet that was used to denigrate Black people, a word derived from the way that “Negro” was pronounced in the American Deep South.

MK Liberman urges Yamina chief MK Bennett not to miss opportunity to be first in rotation for prime minister: ‘Netanyahu will try to eliminate him.’

ARUTZ SHEVA

MK Avigdor Liberman, who chairs the Yisrael Beytenu party, on Saturday night told Israel’s “Meet the Press” program that Yamina Chairman MK Naftali Bennett must not miss his opportunity to become prime minister.

“Bennett knows this as well as I do – the moment he comes in, [Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu will try to eliminate and swallow him,” Liberman said.

As a person in my 70s, I cannot remember when Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was not a prominent public figure well known in this country and much of the world. It does not seem like 70 years ago when my mother took my brother and me to see Princess Elizabeth and her almost new husband pass by on their way to look at E.P. Taylor’s racehorses at Windfields Farm, now the Toronto community of Don Mills. What an astonishing life was his.
