Israel, Islam, and Western Civilization

By Rich Kozlovich 

How quickly Israelis forget and what the western world's leaders seem to wish to ignore is, quoting Lt. Col. James Zumwalt in this article:

On October 7th, Hamas brutally slaughtered babies in their cribs, burned entire families alive, and murdered children and parents in their homes. IDF soldiers are fighting and sacrificing their lives not just for Israel, but to defend the entire free world. If Israel doesn't defeat this terror, you will be next. It's time for the world to wake up.

Here's a a quote from one of my subscription news sites:

Israeli protests. In Israel, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir condemned nationwide demonstrations demanding a comprehensive ceasefire with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages. Smotrich described the protests as aiding Hamas, while Ben-Gvir said they undermine government efforts and delay hostage returns. Protesters blocked roads and burned tires, particularly in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the chief of staff of Israel's military said Israeli forces would soon begin the next phase of operations to destroy Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also affirmed that military operations will continue until Hamas is defeated.

So, given these protests I think we should start with my four Anyone But Bibi commentaries, wherein I show the left wing Israeli government that ousted Netanyahu had only one moral foundation:  Create an "Anyone but Bibi" government.  A government with no shared vision, plan or direction.   The end result?  Suffering, which was turning into a very real existential threat to Israel.  

Suffering really is the beginning of wisdom, and the nation of Israel, after four failed elections in five years, voted to bring Bibi back, and they voted overwhelmingly to do so, allowing him to create a stable government which the disgruntled "Never Netanyahu" camp of leftists have consistently failed to do, and now Israeli's are condemning Netanyahu, partners of his coalition are walking away, and Israel is embracing national suicide.  

There was an article that appeared in Geopolitical Futures, explaining why the Israeli War is unsustainable dealing with the three major factors in all geopolitical issues.  Geographics, economics, and demographics.  

First, geographics, Israel is surrounded by Islamic nations.  Here's a defining map that appeared in a Geopolitical Futures article:

Gaza-Israel in the Middle East 

This has been a multi-front war, some claiming a seven front war, which I think is an accurate description and has been going on for decades, with this latest outbreak going on for two years.  With all these terrorist driven wars there's no definitive way to end them, and this doesn't only impact Israel.  Immigration jihad is impacting the entire western world.

  1. Turkey Hosts Hamas Official Calling for Israel’s Destruction, Arming of Qassam Brigades
  2. Hamas-Linked CAIR Unleashes 50,000-Strong Muslim Army Trained to Dismantle America’s Institutions

This brings us to the issue of demographics, and Israel's population isn't large, just under ten million people, and that creates a problem providing sufficient forces to deal with all these fronts putting a huge strain on their military personnel.  Israel only has 170,000 active duty military personnel with 300,000 reservists dealing with all these fronts facing a Muslim population surrounding them of over 370 million, with millions of active duty personnel and who knows how many thousands of terrorists.   This places a massive strain on Israel's military, with the gap between objectives and ability widening.  Fatigue, and refusing to serve longer is becoming an issue, and we're now seeing erosion of one of the most important components for success; "domestic cohesion", especially dealing with the special privileges of the Orthodox Israelis military exemptions, which has been resented from the beginning of the nation.    

Lastly, economics.  This war has placed a massive strain on their economy, since 2023 the cost has reached just under 70 billion dollars, with the costs continuing to escalate, but spending is only the tip of the iceberg.    When you're having to supply the military with so many workers it results in labor shortages, and many areas of economic interest are now drying up, including tourism.  As one writer observed:

For Israel, the past two years have revealed the limits of a system designed for short wars. Manpower is exhausted, economic pressure is mounting and political cohesion is eroding. At the strategic level, the gap between military objectives and capacity is only growing. Without clearly defined end goals, deterrence risks decay, and operations persist without closure.

Netanyahu has a plan, and that's to take over Gaza, and remove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of Gaza, Israeli's are protesting, the western world is protesting and abandoning Israel while supporting people who are nothing more than brutal sadistic psychopathic monsters following a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion called Islam. 
 
What could possibly go wrong?

Is There a Gaza War Solution?

By Rich Kozlovich

Yesterday I published these two pieces, Western Stupidity and the Two State Solution and The Gaza Starvation and Genocide Farce outlining two things. First, the leaders of western nations are clueless and they'll embrace any lie that degrades Israel and promotes these terrorists and the terrorism they practice, which will come back to haunt them, and they will deserve what's coming their way.  

What's also shocking, although given the insanity they've been spewing out for decades it shouldn't be, is how the media has warped this whole story:

The Media’s Shameful Modesty over Skeletal Israeli Hostages - Evyatar David is skin and bones. He is 24 years old; he was 22 when he was kidnapped 668 days ago by Hamas at the Nova music festival. Mainstream Western media have given little or no coverage to the video released by Hamas, in which David is forced to dig his own grave in a Gaza tunnel, barely able to hold the shovel, while the other hostage, Rom Braslavski, also emaciated, is shown writhing in agony from hunger. His captors seem to revel in his physical and mental anguish. Two hostages walled up alive in Gaza’s catacombs built with UN funds...........

Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee exposes how CBS News edited an interview Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has essentially accused CBS News of leaving so much of an interview with him on the cutting room floor that it effectively changed the tenor of the interview. CBS News’s goal was obvious: To make Israel look genocidal and to make the Trump administration look either feckless or complicit..........

What's most shocking is the suicidal mentality of leftist Israelis who are marching demanding the end of the war and the return of all the hostages, no matter the cost.  While I can certainly understand their deep emotional need to see their loved ones returned, I can't understand their willingness to destroy Israel in the process.  

Hamas doesn't want the war to end, and accepting cease fire agreements, which they will invariably violate, aren't the same as ending wars.   They're a death cult that wants Israel destroyed, and if taking a lot of hostages gets them what they want, they'll just keep taking hostages, making agreements they won't keep, and getting enough time to rearm and attack again.  

What can possibly be going on in the minds of nearly 600 Israeli ex-security officials who appealed to Trump to end the war saying:

“It is our professional judgement that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel,” reads the open letter, which was sent on Friday and shared with the media later. “You did it in Lebanon. Time to do it in Gaza as well.” “Chasing remaining senior Hamas operatives can be done later. Our hostages can’t wait.”

Andrea Widburg posted this piece, The suicidal impulses of leftist Jews on August 9, 2025 expressing dismay at the irrational destructive views of leftist Israeli Jews. 

Joan Swirsky posted an interesting piece explaining the geyser of Jew-hatred over all, but her analysis of what she calls, "The Self-Hate Factor", is interesting asking and explaining how it's possible for how Jews can hate themselves.

Surprisingly, the answer is simple: It’s hard to be a Jew, and this species is simply not up to it.  Yes, they can be proud of their brains and talents, but when it comes to their backbones — that’s another story. For many Jews, being a member of the world’s most historically vilified minority is just “too much” to cope with.  Liberal Jews are not psychologically up to any of these challenges, hence their pathetic over-eagerness to “understand” the people who hate them, to accommodate the enemies of Israel, to capitulate to the ever-escalating and invariably one-sided demands for “compromise,” to slavishly follow Jews like linguist Noam Chomsky, playwright Tony Kushner, and journalist Peter Beinert, who are so suffused with Jew-hatred that their entire lives have been devoted to amputating any vestige of Jewish identity from their beings.

So, when Netanyahu and his government decided it was time for a permanent military occupation of Gaza as the only workable solution to the end of this war, the left in and out of Israel, the media and western Europe, went nuts.  

Several world leaders have condemned the plan, and the UN has warned it would lead to "more massive forced displacement" and "more killing". Hamas warned of "fierce resistance" to the move. The plan also faces fierce opposition within Israel – including from military officials and hostages' families. 

What's in this plan of occupation? There are five principles involved. 

  1. The disarmament of Hamas
  2. The return of all hostages, both living and dead
  3. The demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip
  4. Israeli security control over the Gaza Strip
  5. The establishment of an alternative civilian administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.

They would continue to provide humanitarian aid to the "civilian population outside the combat zones"..... aid that would actually be delivered to the civilian population and not stolen by Hamas, so it's understandable why Hamas is outraged over this, calling this "a new war crime"..... "We warn the criminal occupation that this criminal adventure will cost it dearly and will not be an easy journey......"  Well, I agree, it won't be an easy journey, but especially for Hamas.  

I'll end this piece by stating all geopolitics is predicated on three major factors.  Geographics, Demographics, and Economics.  Sustainability is an issue, which I will address next week.

Western Stupidity and the Two State Solution

By Rich Kozlovich

 Over a large part of my life this idea of a two state solution involving Israel and so-called Palestinians has been touted over and over again.  Thirty years ago it was thought possible by a substantial number of Israeli's.   Then the riots, the relentless acts of terror, bombs being exploded in public places, missile attacks killing civilians indiscriminately.  This idea of "land for peace" has turned into an abject failure, and the Two-State Solution Died on October 7, as it was clear any independent Islamic state within Israel's borders was nothing more than a staging area for Israel's enemies to attack and destroy Israel. 

Western liberals, and even conservatives, embraced the two state concept, but the Muslims never wanted a separate state with Israel, they wanted Israel destroyed.  That should have been obvious to the most casual observer, yet these “leaders” still won’t abandon that idiotic idea. Why? Because they understand the only real solution is for Israel to kick out these Arabs who claim they’re Palestinians just as the surrounding Arab nations have done in the past, and they’re unwilling to embrace that truth.

The only answer is Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must become completely occupied, then filled with Israeli settlements and become a permanent part of Israel, and kick out any so-called Palestinians, just like their Arab Muslim “brothers” have done all over the Middle East, and that includes the West Bank. Anything else is a capitulation to terrorists monsters.

Let's start with the incontestable fact that the true peacemaker among the world's leaders is Donald Trump, and United Nations really is a "hive of scum and villainy", and then proceed to the insanity being promoted by western "leaders" proclaiming they will recognize a Palestinian state. 
  • The U.N. Betrays Its Own Charter with Premature Palestine Recognition  No Palestinian Membership Application Has Passed Muster in the U.N. Security Council, Rendering Statehood a Legal and Political Impossibility.....
  • Emmanuel Macron, who has never been the brightest pebble in the brook, you can't negotiate with terrorists, and now the Netherlands is banning two Israeli officials over Gaza “rhetoric”. 
  • Prime minister Starmer is threatening to also recognize Palestine if Netanyahu doesn’t take “substantive measures” in Gaza, whatever the heck that means, except as an open ended platform for “substantive” demands that will never end.
  • Canada’s Recognition of a Palestinian State Betrays Western Values - Canada is preparing to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations as early as September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney has framed the decision as both a moral obligation and a diplomatic necessity. In reality, it represents a sharp break from Canada’s democratic principles—and a betrayal of its closest ally, the United States......
  • Australia to recognise Palestinian state in September -  Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, following similar moves by the UK, France and Canada, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said. Albanese said Australia received commitments from the Palestinian Authority (PA) including to demilitarise, hold general elections and continue to recognise Israel's right to exist. "A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza,"............ 
The man actually said "A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza."  It really is true, you can't fix stupid.  
  • The Eurabian Push for a Hamas State -  The hostility toward Israel in Europe is matched only by the enthusiasm for establishing a Palestinian state controlled by Hamas. Leading this effort is France: President Emmanuel Macron announced on July 25 that his country would recognize a Palestinian state later this year. Knesset member Dan Illouz rightly opposed such a state as “a gift to the terrorists of October 7.” Four days later, at a U.N. conference, France and Saudi Arabia led the New York Declaration, aiming for a “tangible, time-bound and irreversible” step toward the creation of Palestine. The 26-page document, a study in mendacious one-sidedness, is the latest sign of Europe’s anti-Israel sentiment, which has been prevalent since the founding of the Jewish state........
  • The Mirage of Palestinian Statehood – On the face of it, winning international recognition would seem to be a victory for Palestinian diplomacy—a strategic success won despite battlefield defeat at the hands of Israel. Many have criticized the Canadian, French, and British on these same grounds, arguing that recognition is effectively rewarding Hamas, granting them what they wanted despite the fact that they started the most recent war with their bloody incursion into Israel in October 2023. .........Whatever violence may or may not be legitimate in establishing national independence, we can be sure that violence that establishes fictional states—states whose only existence is on the NGO conference circuit—is not only morally reprehensible but also politically futile. .....
  • Ambassador Huckabee Blasts Weak European Leaders Backing Hamas  Hamas is a doomsday terrorist organization. It will never surrender so long as one member is still alive.   "There is one reason there is suffering in Gaza, it's the same reason that 1200 people were massacred on October the 7th. It's the same reason that 250 people were taken hostage, 50 of them continue to be held hostage and tortured and that's because of Hamas. They are a terror organization and they've acted like it," Huckabee said during an interview with Fox News over the weekend, blasting weak European politicians. "All of this time, Israel has done everything it can. They've made I don't know ow many offers in order to get the hostages out, to end this." "Hamas always walks away, always says no,"
Perhaps they need to start reading the history between Europe and Islam.  Europe’s Forgotten Enslavement: The Brutal Islamic Slave Raids That Captured Millions. That’s who they were, that’s who they are, and that’s who they will always be. After almost 1500 years of incontestable history why is that so hard to get?
All of these nations are heavily infected with Islamists, and soon Israel will be the least of their concerns. Also, Trump said Macron’s views are meaningless, and that goes for the rest of them also. Trump has tamed their egos and made it clear, Europe no longer counts, it's a second rate continent working dilligently to become a third rate continent with a dead culture.  If they keep allowing unrestricted Islamic immigration, Europe will no longer exist as we know Europe, and there will be three Islamic nations with nuclear weapons. Iran, France, and the UK.
 
They are in point of fact rewarding terrorism, and by their demands they're creating standards that will prevent winning wars against monsters, totally losing sight of this one incontrovertible fact that what happens in Gaza won't stay in Gaza.
  
To quote a man who calls himself Granpa: 

All the shouting about a two-state solution is, as from Macbeth: “"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” 

 One final thought about the UN.  They're stunned, stunned I tell you, to find the Taliban oppress women.  Imagine that, and these are leaders?  How can anyone be so ignorant and  so stupid?  How can anyone take anything anyone that ignorant and stupid seriously?  Then again, maybe their lying.  Not much of a recommendation.


The Gaza Starvation and Genocide Farce

By Rich Kozlovich

I keep reading where mental midgets on the left and their media catspaws keep screaming how Israel is perpetrating genocide against Gazans.  The word genocide has been cheapened by these claims. There is no genocide in Gaza, unless you consider the fact that Hamas has willingly sacrificed their own people for political gain, including stealing their food.   

Has there been civilian loss of life among Gazans in this war? Yes, that's why they call it war, and it was a war the Gaza leadership started, and it was Gazans who celebrated dancing in the streets at the atrocities Hamas perpetrated against Israeli civilians in including baking a baby alive in an oven, filming it for public consumption, and Gazans cheered.  

What did the world think was going to happen after the atrocities of October 7th?   There are no innocent Gazans as there were no innocent Germans during WWII with the fire bombing of Dresden, or innocent Japanese during the bombing raids of Japan and the dropping of two atom bombs.  That's the horror of war, and if people don't want to face that horror, they shouldn't start a war.  

If Israel was actually wanting to perpetrate Gazan genocide they could have done it on day one of their retaliation.  If they wanted to perpetrated genocide why is Israel providing massive levels of aid to Gazans, something no military has ever done for an enemy population, and Gazans are Israel's enemy, and yet we've seen a massive public relations effort to claim Israel is attemptiong to starve Gazans to death. 

Democrat Senator from Delaware Chris Van Hollen, whose record for idiotic leftist views is almost legendary, claims Netanyahu is using food as a weapon of war, as if that's never been done before, but is it true?

The fact is this claim of wide spread starvation among Gazans was invented by Hamas and the United Nations.   If aid isn't getting to the civilian population is being caused by "a combination of United Nations policies, Hamas looting, and black-market profiteering."  

This article by Daniel Greenfield, UN Admits 95% of its Gaza Aid Trucks Were “Intercepted”, clearly depicts just how corrupt the UN has been over this issue saying:

Back when the UN had been in charge it had faked its own famine by refusing to deliver food and letting it pile up instead. Since then the UN’s food aid has kept on piling up even while GHF, an American Christian aid group, has managed to deliver millions of meals to Gaza residents, despite being smeared by the media as “controversial” for feeding those whom the UN wouldn’t........... 

The UNOPS ‘Mechanism for Gaza’ revealed that of the around 2,600 aid trucks entering Gaza, only 300 made it to their destination. 2,310 trucks or 88% of them were ‘intercepted’............ The UN’s WFP recently claimed that it has run out of food stocks and needs $265 million for just the next 6 months to feed Gaza. Where did its food stocks go? Certainly not to aid stations............ 

The best evidence of it is that Hamas made the restoration of UN control over aid into Gaza one of its conditions for a deal. Why would an Islamic terrorist group care who distributes the aid?.........After an aid delivery success ratio in the single digits, the UN is terrible at delivering aid in Gaza, but it’s a stunning success when it comes to its political and economic support of Hamas.

As for this starvation .... the children are dying.... scheme we're seeing in Gaza, it's not unique to Gaza.  In fact it seems to be one of the go to plans used by these terrorist monsters, much of which are predicated on deliberate and outright lies. 

Do you want to see real starvation and genocide? 

 Hamas could not defeat Israel militarily, so their go to plan is to claim they're the real victims, not the hostages and innocent men they murdered, the innocent women they raped and murdered, and the innocent children they murdered, all actions lauded by Gazans.  And they get away with it because they understand western leaders live in a moral vacuum.  
  • Hamas Understands the Myopia and Moral Imbecility of the West: Hamas understands that if it forces the suffering of its own people, if it maximizes and even falsifies media coverage of that suffering, then the West will rehabilitate Hamas and grant it its demands.  Hamas understands that Westerners are utterly ignorant to the true evil of Hamas, their willingness to multiply the suffering of Palestinians and Israelis alike, to starve their own citizens as well as Israeli hostages, to sacrifice Palestinian children by placing them in the line of fire, all for the cameras; Hamas understands that myopic and self-centered Westerners will simply project their own biases and values onto Hamas, thus granting them unearned innocence and sympathy; Hamas understands that the media would facilitate all of this, elevating a false oppressor/oppressed narrative above the truth.
Hamas is death cult, it really is that simple.

Well, It's Started, The Third Lebanon War

By Rich Kozlovich 

Well, is anyone shocked? Third Lebanon War’ Begins Israel Launches Ground Offensive:

The Third Lebanon War has officially begun, according to Israel’s Army Radio, as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ground forces crossed into Lebanon early Tuesday morning to remove Hezbollah outposts that threaten Israeli communities. The IDF apparently crossed into Lebanon at the “finger” or “panhandle” of Israel’s Galilee region, near the town of Metula, which was Israel’s northernmost town until the capture and annexation of the Golan Heights.

Did they inform the Biden administration?  Given they didn't inform them of their strike that wiped out Hezbollah's leadership, I'm guessing no.  Ole Joe was already ticked off about Israel daring to challenge his demand for a cease fire, and according to Daniel Greenfield, the Biden Admin Preps Post-Election Revenge on Israel, states:

And the administration is taking it in the noble spirit for which it’s known for, that is to say it’s going to follow in the footsteps of the Obama administration (and plenty of the perps are veterans of Hussy) and avenge the outcome on the Jews. (Hey it’s a popular response for thousands of years. So why not?)  Joe Biden claims that his real priority is a moonshot cure, but it seems like the admin’s real priority is to attack Israel.

There's been a lot of talk about boots on the ground and how Israel would be overstretched by attacking the Hezhollah in Lebanon.  And if victorious, how would they hold it?  
 
I remember when this first unfolded there were Lebanese who claimed they would support Israel to the tune of 20,000 fighters.  So, I decided to look to see if there was any truth to this, and that number is inaccurate.  The actual potential runs closer to the tune of 60,000, all of which could be the basis for fighting the battle, and the eventual control of Lebanon, a much more Israel friendly Lebanon.  

But one thing is now clear, Bibi, doesn't care what Joe Biden and his band of misfits think.   Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and the Democrats, none of whom ever served, loved to snicker at, denigrate, demean, and insult a man who fought in the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, was a member of an elite commando unit, and twice wounded.  Well Bibi had his response well planned. 
 
Bibi had a response for Biden and Obama and all the rest of the condescending Dem leadership when he spoke at the United Nations last Friday. He said Israel will not go quietly into the night (and he won’t either). Then he held up two posters, one in each hand; a “blessing” poster and a “curse” poster. This veiled reference to Abraham’s Covenant was a message to the world: better to make Israel a friend than an enemy. In the meantime, practically as Bibi spoke, bombs were falling on Hassan Nasrallah and at least 20 other top Hezb’allah cohorts while they hid in their Beirut bunker headquarters. Nasrallah, chief of Hezb’allah for decades and responsible for the murder of thousands, was no more. Before the world knew exactly what had transpired, Netanyahu was on his way back to Israel. After all, there was a seven-front war to be fought.
 
Biden and the Democrats are still insanely promoting terrorism via their demands for cease fire, which was never brought up until Israel struck back.  Israel is ignoring Ole Joe, because what Bibi wants is called victory. Now, Iran and what's left of their terrorists are scared, and the rest of the world is on notice.  
 
Israel needs to expand this effort beyond it's military, and into Hezbollah's economic picture.  As the Middle East Forum notes: "Israel's strategy to defeat Hezbollah must extend beyond the battlefield to cut off its financial resources", much of it involving drugs and cryptocurrency.  "Sanctions must extend to family members members and associates, and heightened scrutiny is needed in banking sectors of countries like Lebanon, West Africa, and South America"...... "Infiltrating informal money transfer systems like hawala networks is essential"... as this will undermine these groups "without firing a shot".

P&D and The Week That Was

Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

This Link will take you to My Commentaries.  This Link will take you to My Commentaries by topic.  This Link will take you to My Global Warming Commentaries 

By Rich Kozlovich

For years I've predicted the collapse of the EU, and while it's taken some time, Europe is on the verge of it. Right now "there's no end in sight for Europe's sluggish economy". Second quarter growth?  Just 0.2%!  Now, think about this.  Where are the European nations going to start cutting?  Ukraine! 

Zelenskyy (and no matter what you see in articles, that's the correct spelling of his name) must be aware of that and that leaves America.  He's here begging for more money, and Biden is promising billions more, none of which will be tracked, and he's been insulting Trump and Vance in the process.  Does he believe he can insult them into giving him what he wants?   He's met with Kamala and she won't give out any information, and if he hasn't already, he's supposed to meet with Trump and Vance.  He's toast if Trump is elected.  

One more thing.  These two wars, Ukraine, and Israel, has now opened the way to the next wave of military planning and strategy.  Drones, and lasers.   That's the future of warfare, and building a bunch of new ships isn't going to change that.  Just as the aircraft carrier ended the battleship phase of naval warfare, drones and lasers will end the aircraft carrier and tank phase of warfare, at least as we've known it.

The open immigration the Biden administration has imposed on the nation is having serious consequences, even the continued existence of the United States, virtually abandoning the Constitution and the rights of Americans in favor of these migrants.  

I've been reporting about Tren de Aragua (TDA), an illegal immigrant gang from Venezuela, all heavily armed, who've taken over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, forcing the tenants to give them their rent money, and the government of Colorado not only has done little, they've claimed its all hyperbole.  They're also active in New York and in Texas, but in Texas they don't play that game, and sent in state troopers and arrested with the governor declaring them to be a "foreign terrorist organization."

I've been publishing and linking articles on the scientific fraud of the green movement, and  Global Warming for over 20 years, and since 2007 in P&D.  Those of us who claimed it was all nothing more than Lysenkoian junk science, and green fraud, were vilified and laughed at. Well, time and truth are on the same side.   Polls show the public is ignoring these climate disaster claims, especially since all their predictions are failing to come into being, and it's being openly challenged for the lunacy and corruption it is.   

Jack Hellner notes in his article, Science says the earth’s temperatures are trending cooler—but the talking points and radical policies won’t change, it's all about money and control, not climate. These powerful people promoting this absolutely do not want Trump to be elected.  On the advice of my now passed friend Dr. Jay Lehr, he abandoned the Paris treaty on climate, and he'll do so again if elected, as the schemes these people have put into place will end, and they won't get their money.  But make no mistake, they're just as willing to jump on a cooling trend and claim we're heading into another Ice Age, and claim it's humanities fault, and start demanding we stop____________ (fill in the blank), just as they did in the 1970's.   All in order to save the world! 

The lunatics never stop, and for some time they've been defacing private property, attempting to destroy valuable works of art, and gluing themselves to walls, floors, etc., and I think that's a trend that may end.   Finally there are going to be consequences for their action.  Make sure to see the video, as it's clear they're so proud of themselves, and they clearly don't think much will be done to them.  However, even though it took two years for this to come to a conclusion, in what I would think would should have taken less than a week, the judge informed them there are consequences.  

In October 2022, two women entered the National Gallery in London and threw soup onto a famous Van Gogh painting. They then glued themselves to the wall while ranting about climate change. Video of the incident went viral at the time.

"You think your beliefs entitle you to do anything." That is the paradigm these "activists" operate under. The fact that others have a right to go to work, get to hospitals, and enjoy their lives doesn't register with them. Doomsday cults do not care about other people. They only care about their delusions of grandeur. 

Phoebe Plummer, 23, was sentenced to two years in prison, and Anna Holland, 22, got 20 months.   They're going to find prison isn't a nice place to live, and hopefully that will be a message to the rest of the lunatic green movement.

I so often ask myself; how do such seemingly intelligent and highly educated nitwits get into positions of power and responsibility? Do they really believe the things they say and promote?   For months all we've heard from Secretary of State Blinkin and the Biden administration are demands for a cease fire between Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, and making claims that put the onus on Israel for this war, saying Israel shouldn't fight back, and how Israel has dehumanized and traumatized the poor Palestinians.  You know, the dehumanized and traumatized people who danced in the street at watching Hamas rape and murder innocent civilians and bake a baby alive in an oven.   Oh yeah, they're dehumanized alright, but they did it to themselves, and there are no innocent civilians in Gaza. If crushing Gaza traumatizes them, then I say schadenfreude, they earned it. 

Then we have the U.N. a wretched hive of scum and villainy if there ever was one, saying there must be a cease fire or there will be disaster.  Okay, a disaster for whom?  Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, or Israel?  Well, Israel delivered their answer to their demands.   Israel Takes Out Hezbollah Headquarters.  See what happens when they don't answer their pagers. 

Today I got my usual Saturday economics lesson via e-mail from John Mauldin, today discussing his review of "Martin Gurri’s important book, The Revolt of the Public", discussing historical cycles, which I've always believed in.  The patterns of life play out over and over again, and anyone who reads a lot of history see these patterns.  Those historians who specialize on historical cycles need to get together and create a historical cycles academic discipline because they all have great information, but they don't share the same terminology, making it all very difficult to follow.  But if you can make your eyes roll back into place and slosh you way through, you will get great insights on humanity.  

He discusses what the book's author calls The Fifth Wave "of human communication", which has now become massive beyond belief.  Creating alternative sources of information, and it's now so large it's overwhelming the traditional sources of information, and in fact, becoming the choice of more and more people as they expose the lies the Pravda media has inundated humanity with, and the Dan Rather lies about George Bush's military services was one of the events that helped to make everyone aware of how many lies they told, and their partisanship. 

And the powerful don't like that, as he quotes the author:

“Bloggers, and in general all dabblers in digital communication, are often accused of insulting sacred things: presidents, religion, property rights, even the prerogatives of a democratic majority. They speak when there should be silence and utter what should never be said. They trample on the sanctities, in the judgment of the great hierarchical institutions which for a century and a half have controlled, from the top down, authoritatively, the content of every public conversation. The idea is not that some forbidden opinion or other has been spoken. It is the speaking that is taboo. It’s the alien voice of the amateur, of the ordinary person, of the public, that is an abomination to the ears of established authority.”

Tyrants don't like being exposed for who and what they are, and all this talk from Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Tim Walz, and most certainly Hillary Clinton about taking a hard stand against "misinformation" and "hate speech", is nothing short of government censorship and the elimination of the First Amendment claiming public safety issues.  Make no mistake, misinformation and hate speech will be anything that disputes anything they're promoting, and no one really trusts the Pravda media. 

Take “hate speech,” where the feelings of victims are elevated above the rights of speakers. Does it change the opinion of the speaker? The person towards whom (if any) the speech is directed? Not usually. If the premise is that the government can protect “victims” from hearing speech that offends, where does it stop? Must blacks be protected from discussions of IQ differences based on race? Must whites be protected from being characterized as racist? Facebook recognizes 56 different genders. Are Americans going to be forced to learn all 56 pronouns in order not to hurt anyone’s feelings? As if all of that wasn’t bad enough, COVID and the 2020 election opened a Pandora’s Box of speech restrictions.

So, who are the fascists here?  

Lawfare is backfiring on the Democrats, and it's my belief some are going to jail after this all play out, and it won't be Donald Trump, as this article points out, on appeal these cases are bogus, and the prosecutors and judges will be shown to be corrupt as time goes by.  NY Appeals Court Skeptical of $454 Million Trump Verdict  As this appears to me to be a massive national criminal effort to keep Trump from running, i.e., a RICO scandal that will rise to the top of the leftist hierarchy.  But, we'll see. 

Then there's the spending, and it's clear Speaker Johnson isn't up to the job.  He's been a shill for Senate Democrats on spending and more, but he's not alone in this.  There's still a substantial core of House and Senate Republicans who are in reality Democrats in all but name.  

It's my view the House will have more Republicans, more conservative Republicans, the Senate will go Republican, and Johnson will be toast, I think Jordan has a very real shot at Speaker, McConnell will not be the Republican leader in the Senate, but it all hinges of voter fraud, here, here, here, here, here, and I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, an Investigation Finds Thousands of Dead People on Voter Rolls.  And there's a lot more which I will be following up on in the future, as I have a lot of stuff in my draft file dealing with this.  Does anyone besides me hear the word RICO being uttered?

Today's edition has this Cartoon of the Day, followed by 8 articles of my own, and counting the NY Appeals Court article, 29 by others, and we must never lose sight of the fact, culture is king.

Best wishes, have a great weekend, and remember, warm memories never wear out the welcome in our lives.

You know that voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say?  Yeah, well, I don't have that!    We need to question everything because everything we're told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality!  Much of what we're told does not!
