Bennett’s moment of truth approaching  

The country is in turmoil. Conditions are finally right for a change of leadership. Can Yamina leader Naftali Bennett withstand temptation and beat Netanyahu in an election?

By Ariel Kahana, ISRAEL HAYOM

In August 1970, then-Opposition leader Menachem Begin walked up to the Knesset podium and issued a harshly-worded warning to the government about Israel being unprepared for an attack by Egypt.

Three years passed before Begin’s warning came true. The 1973 Yom Kippur War, which came as a surprise, resulted in heavy casualties to Israel’s air force, which hampered its ability to provide cover for the ground forces. It was then-Prime Minister Golda Meir who had shut her eyes to Egypt’s progress on its anti-aircraft batteries, about which Begin had warned the Knesset. The price was unbearably heavy.

Four years after the Yom Kippur War came the first political change of leadership in Israel. The thousands of casualties, the military failure, the economic crisis, the mass protests, and the public’s dissatisfaction with the socialists, did their work. Menachem Begin, who had been a junior and right-wing partner in Golda’s government, was elected prime minister. His prophetic speech from 1970 contributed to his victory. He was seen as someone who had warned about an impending disaster while the leaders preferred to ignore it.

Defending Trump from a Tornado of Liberal Lies  

T. Belman. They aren’t just lying in a descriptive sense. They are using the lies, better called ad hominin attacks or smears, to induce extreme hatred of Trump. And they have succeeded. We all have encountered many friends and relatives who are apoplectic when it comes to Trump and explode if  any one defends him.  This election will be determined by the haters or the lovers. That’s what it boils down to.

By Janice Shaw Crouse, AM THINKER

The fog of lies clouding the current political climate has all but completely hidden the truth.  Let’s clear some things up so the American public can see what’s going on.  Here are just a few of the major lies and the issues that have been wildly distorted.

Trump is a liar: Rolling Stone claims that Trump is a “Hall of Fame” liar.  Other leftists call him a “pathological liar.”  CNN says the “defining characteristic” of the Trump presidency is the “bombardment of lies.”  You can even buy T-shirts with that logo.  The internet is full of references to the Washington Post’s claim that President Trump has made more than 20,000 false claims, averaging 23 lies a day.  A close look reveals that any generalized statement, any opinion some snowflake finds “hurtful,” any rounded-off number, and anything the left disagrees with is ipso facto judged by these supposed fact-checkers to be a lie.  Note that these “lies” include general statements like Trump saying he has “tremendous support” from blacks; the Washington Post deems this a lie because no poll had been taken to prove it.

Palestinian officials aim to pressure EU to reverse NGO funding ban  

Senior Palestinian leaders held a summit on September 30, to discuss ways to bypass or reverse EU rules banning funds being paid out to NGOs with terror ties.

Palestinian Foreign Ministry officials have convened with representatives of Palestinian factions, civilian organizations, and prisoners organizations to discuss ways to remove terror organizations from the European Union’s lists of restrictive measures. The listing is significant as the EU cannot pay out funds to NGOs who have ties to the terror groups on the lists, or who refuse to sign.

According to a statement on the official news-site of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the meeting, chaired by Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the PLO, Dr. Saeb Erekat, focused on the need to preserve a relationship with the EU while at the same time rejecting the terrorist label attached to the factions and the need to comply with that designation to access the funding.

Environmentalism is anti-biblical and anti-humanist civilizational suicide  

T. Belman. The western civilization should subsidize large families rather than penalize them. This will ensure the survival of western civilization not it’s end.  That’s what matters, not the planet

Population control is a way of destroying Western civilization using climate control as a ruse. The West is not overpopulated. Op-ed.

By Giulio Meotti, INN

Babies

It was 1969 when the leader of the British Labor parliamentary group, Douglas Houghton, called for state intervention to discourage births by reducing assistance and subsidies for large families, while Lord Sorensen declared: “We must encourage sterilizations”.

Meanwhile, Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist and author of “The population bomb”, predicted poverty and famine for England at a symposium at the London Institute of Biology: “If I were a player, I would bet that England will no longer exist in the year 2000 and ten to one that the standard of living of the average Englishman will be below the current one”.<
>
Fifty years past 1969, life expectancy in England has increased by ten years and the standard of living has undergone a radical upward transformation. Yet, the idea that population decreasing action is needed to reduce environmental impact is still at the root of all the green anthropophobic cries, including the eco-fascism of the two bombers in Christchurch, New Zealand and in El Paso, Texas.

Diliman Abdulkader on U.S. Policy toward the Kurds  

by Marilyn Stern, Middle East Forum Webinar, October 5, 2020


Turkey’s war against PKK insurgents have caused large numbers of civilian deaths and displacements.

Diliman Abdulkader, co-founder of American Friends of Kurdistan, spoke to participants in a July 31 Middle East Forum Webinar (video) about the plight of Kurds in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, and offered his recommendations for U.S. policy in each Kurdish territory.

All Kurdish communities “face discrimination from their central governments,” but their specific circumstances vary.

Michigan Supreme Court strikes down Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus orders  

Michigan’s Supreme Court said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus executive restrictions violated the state’s constitution.

by Anthony Leonardi, WASH EXAMINER

On Friday, the state’s high court ruled in a 4-3 decision that the Democratic governor did not have the power to continue its restrictions under two laws passed in 1976 and 1945, describing the act as an “unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution.”

“Accordingly, the executive orders issued by the Governor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic now lack any basis under Michigan law,” the ruling reads.

Israel Must Partner with US in the Great Power Competition with China  

By IDF MG (ret.) Yaacov Ayish, JINSA Senior Vice President for Israeli Affairs

Israel and the United States are nearing an agreement to exclude Chinese technology from the former’s 5G networks – another indication that Jerusalem is heeding Washington’s demand for a tougher stance against Beijing. As US-Sino ties continue to fray, Israel must decisively support Washington’s efforts to face down Beijing. This would serve not only America’s interests, but Israel’s as well.

Amid China’s race to overcome American regional and global dominance, there have been growing concerns in Washington over Beijing’s access to Israeli technologies. The involvement of Chinese companies in major infrastructure projects in Israel – such as the Tel Aviv Light Rail, the Carmel Tunnels, and the Ashdod and Haifa ports – have also drawn American scrutiny for potentially handing China surveillance opportunities. For instance, the decision to tap a Chinese firm to operate the Haifa Port has raised security concerns for the US Navy, whose Sixth Fleet occasionally docks nearby.

Securing US Election Is Crucial  

By Ken Abramowitz, SAVE THE WEST

Editor: Rachel Ehrenfeld, Founder, American Center for Democracy

With less than a month before the November 3 election, Americans are facing serious challenges as they assess the future direction of their country.

Insurrectionist, anarchist, and communist groups such as Antifa, and Marxist/Maoist groups led by Black Lives Matter (BLM), are rioting, looting, and burning down mostly Democrat-run cities, and attacking and harassing individuals at random. They claim their violence is justified by the lack of “social justice” in America, and is compounded by “social inequality” and “systemic racism”. These groups are also given encouragement and support, either directly and indirectly, by the Democrat party in order to increase confusion and nourish the seeds of a racial war. The rioters are enabled by the Democrat mayors and governors in the states they are attacking, and even by Democrat candidates, up to and including the Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Can America Stop a Wider War Between Armenia and Azerbaijan?  

By Svante E. Cornell – Policy Advisor, JINSA Gemunder Center

For the second time in three months, Armenia and Azerbaijan are involved in heavy fighting. To even casual observers of the region, this is nothing new: flareups in this supposedly “frozen” conflict have been commonplace in the past decade. The only problem seems to be that they tend to get worse over time. But reality is much more worrisome. The conflict is all but “frozen.” In the past few years, the entire premise on which the uneasy balance in this conflict rested has essentially been razed, paving the way for a new logic of escalation in which the likelihood of a major war is increasingly obvious.

Much of the coverage of this conflict centers on who started whichever spat. This is largely irrelevant. Much more important are three major changes to the conflict’s underlying logic. The first is the broader erosion of a norms-based international system based on international law and institutions. The second is the merger of the region’s geopolitics with the Middle East. And the third is Armenia’s shift to a revisionist approach to the conflict and negotiations since the 2018 Velvet revolution.

  • In the next paragraph, [Washington Post reporter Scott] Shane notes breathlessly: “… Trump has accused the United Kingdom of conspiring with American intelligence to spy on his presidential campaign.”
  • President Trump certainly has made that claim, and one believes for very good reasons that seem to compound weekly.

China, Russia, And The Creation Of A Multipolar World Order – A Russian Perspective  

T. Belman. “The idea is to move Europe toward an alliance with Russia and China by breaking the Western alliance with the U.S.” I don’t like this. I want the US and Russia to be partners in the far east.

MEMRI

By Anna Mahjar-Barducci

Introduction

In the last decade, the main leitmotif of China’s and Russia’s policy has been the creation of a multipolar world order. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, during his September 11, 2020 meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, stressed again that the multi-polarization of the world is an inevitable trend in the development of human society.[1] A few days later, Lavrov stated that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has put forth a number of important initiatives toward creating a new multipolar world.[2]

Can Armenia Use Russia’s Military Base In The Current Fighting With Azerbaijan?  

MEMRI

By Russian Military Expert Viktor Baranets:
October 5, 2020

Commenting on the escalating conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Russian colonel (ret.) Viktor Baranets commented on the question whether Yerevan could use Russia’s military base in Gyumri. Baranets wrote that Russia has not signed any document that obligates it to ensure the security of Nagorno-Karabakh. However, if Azerbaijan or Turkey were to invade Armenian territory proper, “this would be an entirely different question.”

Below is Baranets’ article in Komsomolskaya Pravda:[1]


Viktor Baranets (Source: Topwar.ru)

The Russian Military Base Is An Integral Part Of Armenia’s Security System

“The Russian military base is an integral part of Armenia’s security system, stated [Armenian] Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. He assumed that in ‘specific situations’ the base’s capabilities could be used. According to him, at this current stage of the large-scale war in the Karabakh conflict zone, such a necessity has not yet emerged. ‘But situation is unpredictable, and no one can precisely forecast its further development,’ said Pashinyan.

Arizona Poll: Joe Biden 49%, President Trump 41% – HOW CAN THIS BE?

Trump is BEATING Biden! Here’s Why!!!

By HANNAH BLEAU, BREITBART 

CLEVELAND, OHIO - SEPTEMBER 29: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden participates in the first presidential debate against U.S. President Donald Trump at the Health Education Campus of Case Western Reserve University on September 29, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio. This is the first of three planned debates between the two candidates …

Joe Biden (D) holds an eight-point advantage over President Trump in the swing state Arizona, a New York Times-Siena College poll released Monday revealed.

The former vice president is leading Trump in the Grand Canyon State, 49 percent to 41 percent, the survey fielded October 1-3 among 655 Arizona likely voters revealed. Three percent chose Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen, and six percent indicated that they were undecided:

“Have you decided you’ll definitely vote for [CANDIDATE NAME] or is there still some chance you could change your mind?” the survey asked.

Iran backs Azerbaijan, sends arms to Armenia  

DEBKA

Iran like Turkey consistently supports Azerbaijan, the fourth Shiite Islamic majority nation in the world, while refraining from roundly condemning Christian Armenia, at a time that the two Caucasian nations are locked in fierce combat over the Nagorno Karabakh enclave. The fighting this week escalated to reciprocal attacks on their major cities.

Iran, whose supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is an ethnic Azeri, is home to four Azeri-speaking northwestern provinces, to which some separatist extremists refer as “South Azerbaijan.” Encouraging them could spark secessionist movements among Iran’s other minority groups.  So while Iranian officials have voiced support for Azerbaijan’s integrity – Nagorno Karabakh was internationally recognized as part of its territory although the majority of it population are Armenian Christians – they did not echo Azeri lawmakers in Tehran, who this week accused Armenia of forming “an evil Islamophobic trio in the region” with Israel and the United States.

The ONLY Issue in 2020 Election is Voter Fraud  

By Joan Swirsky, CFP

No, it’s not “the economy, stupid.” In spite of the bipolar stock market since the China virus hit the world last March, our remarkably resilient economy––thanks to President Trump––is now on the ascent, employment rates growing, and consumer confidence increasingly robust.

And no, it’s not domestic policy, where the president, among hundreds of stunning accomplishments, has brought about unprecedented prison reform, a strengthened military, hundreds of conservative judges and probably three Supreme Court justices.

And no, it’s not foreign policy, in which Pres. Trump has our troops coming home from Syria and Afghanistan, not one international conflict in almost-four years, and now historic relationships between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, a Kosovo-Serbia economic deal, an Israel-Bahrain deal (with Saudi Arabia not far behind), and three richly-deserved Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
