[IsraelNationalNews] We grew up believing that crime doesn’t pay. It said so in the cartoons, the books, and certainly in the movies.
From Alan Ladd in Shane, to Gary Cooper in High Noon, to Tom Cruise in Top Gun Maverick, the good guy wins.
So it was in nearly every Western, and Film Noir, to cite, for example, James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice.
The same theme prevails throughout... and in fact, the Hays Code saw to it, that you will never get away with it, you will be punished. (From 1934 to 1968.)
Even Tolstoy couldn’t resist. Anna Karenina was made to suffer a tragic finish.
Throughout history, it has always been wise to put your money on David against Goliath. Good Guys win. Bad Guys lose.
It’s in our DNA.
Or was.
Times have changed, and the scoundrels are getting away with it, right before our eyes.
A Gold Star father testifies, before a special House Committee, that of the 13 US military personnel who were murdered in Kabul, due to Biden’s reckless pullout, not one member of the Administration has had to pay the consequences. No one who’s had a hand in this debacle has been fired or demoted. All of them got off scot-free, even the generals, and Biden himself.
Say that again!
Such clarity, from a bereaved father, stunned many Americans who’ve been snoozing. Can this be true? No consequences?
In that case, we live in a world with no happy endings...nor in Israel, either.
The Oslo Accords, 1993, in which Rabin and fellow travelers elevated a gang of thugs onto equal footing with sovereign Israelis, for that, and for the spree of murders that followed, to this day, from the PLO that was washed and cleansed into the Palestinian Authority, still, there has been no accounting, no comeuppance.
The scoundrels won’t even admit that it was a mistake. Nor that the Second Intifada of the year 2000 was largely their doing.
Are they shamefaced? Not at all. They persist as the disloyal opposition. Some call it treason.
Back here, Hillary, Comey, Schiff and all the rest of them escaped justice, and got to live happily ever after on CNN or MSNBC.
A few days ago, however, one man did get 22 years for some role related to Jan 6. He is a Trump supporter, and no doubt a Republican.
Democrats have no such worries.
The media will protect them, from Biden all across the board.
So too NYC mayor Adams who last year extended a come-one-come-all invitation to the illegal migrants. Apparently. he expected a hundred, not 100,000, and still coming at a rate of 10,000 per month. Today, he is howling HELP. Like an invasion of zombies, they have swamped the town — and the media won’t cover this, either, because Adams is a Democrat.
He used to be a Republican. Is he trending back? A Republican is a Democrat who’s been mugged.
In his own words, he says NYC is being "destroyed" by these invaders.
Only a month ago, before the magnitude of the invasion, the same Mayor Adams asked the citizens to invite these great unwashed to their homes...people who arrive without documentation as to their health and criminal status... and this insanity, this too has been conveniently forgotten by Adams, and the media.
Trump never got a break...only slander after slander.
For all their false reporting over Trump, the anchors, the reporters, the editors...all enjoy safe conduct. Not a single one has apologized for misleading the nation.
Not a single one has been fired or demoted. Many have been promoted.
They all got away with it...and are prepared to do it again.
Separate Note: Seems President Zelenskyy is furious at Israel because Israel has inked a movie-making deal with Russia. Sir, the world does not revolve around Ukraine. Israel, a sovereign nation, has its own domestic concerns and foreign policy business. Let there be Lights, Camera, Action.
[ConservativeTreehouse] With the BRICS alliance expanding, seven members of the previously existing G20 trade group are now members of the BRICS group. The influence of the G20 is diminishing and the BRICS group is gaining strength. This is the context for the modern era geopolitical dynamic that is taking place.
The G20 is ideologically anchored by the U.S. and EU as part of the western alliance. However, the BRICS group have started to cleave away from the “western worldview” specifically on the issue of energy development. We have talked about this dynamic quite a bit.
As a result of the increased influence of the BRICS group, specifically as an outcome of the U.S, EU and Australian weakening as a result of fundamentally changing their energy use at the altar of climate change, the western alliance is losing economic strength, and the BRICS team are gaining strength. The addition of Saudi Arabia to the BRICS team has boosted the BRICS control of traditional energy products.
The global shift in power is happening very fast as the climate change agenda is pushed by the U.S, EU and Canada. Issues that impact the G20 are no longer unilaterally controlled by a singular worldview. Now inside the G20 there are competing interests as a global realignment takes shape.
Within this dynamic, the attendees of the G20 summit were unable to construct a joint declaration that condemns Russia’s activity in Ukraine. Instead, the group had to modify their language to get all of the G20 nations, including Russia, to agree to the statement. China, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Argentina are in alignment with the worldview of Russia. Although the Russia allies dislike the hostilities, there is a general understanding that Russia was being threatened by the U.S. pushing NATO expansion. Actions have consequences, and the leadership of the BRICS+ group align sympathetically with the justification that Russia presented.
Into this mix of disparate interests, the G20 summit in India was held, and for the first time the Western Alliance within the G20 seemed to recognize things had fundamentally changed. This was the first time the G20 group was together since Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and several other nations began talking to each other about a new economic landscape built on the global energy cleaving.
This also represented the first time Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken were able to gauge how much American influence has been changed. The reality is starting to hit, and the reality is that America is losing power globally – yet retaining power amid a much smaller network of ideologically aligned western nations.
Using the Ukraine and Russia conflict as an example for what this new reality looks like, for the first time today US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken alluded in his remarks to ABC News that new borders were likely to be drawn in Ukraine, if/when discussions and negotiations begin between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.
WATCH the moment at 3:36, …”where exactly this [conflict] settles, where lines are going to be drawn, that is going to be up to Ukrainians.”
THAT, is a major shift in the position of the Biden administration.

India and China were happy to stay in the G20 to watch the EU and US's mutual economic suicide pact over 'climate whatever'. Now the pretense has worn thin.

In fact, I believe even Mexico wants to join BRICS.
Does that mean Mexico will start send illegal aliens and fentanyl to the BRICS countries?

G20 Woke is Broke. And Brics are third world banana republics and authoritarians dictatorships with debt ratio's that eclipse the West. All around, shit sandwiches for everyone. Is one shit sandwich better than the next? Probably not.

I'm no expert, but I don't think Mexico could join BRICS before getting out of NAFTA. As the US is a huge trading partner for Mexico, I don't see it happening.

Mexico runs a $100+ billion/year trade surplus w/ the US. BRICS countries wouldn't tolerate such a hit to their economies.

In a nutshell Mearsheimer is a Russian apologist. He consistently excuses their imperialist, malevolent and genocidal behavior while overestimating Russian power. Mearsheimer blames the west and Ukrainians for the war, not Russian revanchist imperialism and racism as if Russia has no agency.
Pre-2014, Ukrainians did not harbor mass animosity toward Russia, even though Russians rigged their elections at least twice, poisoned the President and installed a puppet to bring down Ukraine and into the Russia fold. The majority still preferred closer relations with Russia than the US and probably Europe too. Even the Maidan revolution was not explicitly anti-Russian. It was about the Russian puppet President breaking a pledge to seek closer EU trade ties and corruption of the presidency.
Only after Russia invaded in 2014 did Ukrainian sentiment turn against Russia and solidly so after the 2022 and Russia's genocidal tactics against Ukrainians.
Seen on one of the Afghan news sites, which seems interesting today.
[KhaamaPress] On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks by the hard boy group al-Qaeda changed the course of global history. On the 22nd anniversary of this tragic incident, it’s essential to reflect on the events of that fateful day, its implications, and how it shaped global counterterrorism strategies and geopolitics.
On the morning of 9/11, 19 al-Qaeda gunnies hijacked four commercial airplanes. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within hours, the mighty Twin Towers collapsed, turning downtown Manhattan into a smoke-filled ruin.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had a cup of coffee. Even instant would do... American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed into the Pentagon, the Department of Defense’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. A fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was headed towards either the U.S. Capitol or the White House but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers tried to overcome the hijackers.
By the day’s end, almost 3,000 people from over 90 countries had bit the dust, marking the single deadliest terrorist act in world history.
Al-Qaeda, under the leadership of the late Osama bin Laden ...... who used to be alive but now he's not...... , quickly became the prime suspect. While the hard boy group orchestrated the attacks, they found sanctuary with the Taliban ...Arabic for students... in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s refusal to extradite bin Laden and dismantle terrorist camps eventually led to the U.S. launching the War on Terror.
Operation Enduring Freedom was initiated on October 7, 2001, to dismantle al-Qaeda and unseat the Taliban. Though the Taliban regime collapsed within months, the conflict continued for two decades. The U.S., during this period, established the Department of Homeland Security and enacted the USA PATRIOT Act, granting expanded surveillance powers to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
The War on Terror also played a role in the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, propelled by the belief that Saddam Hussein might produce weapons of mass destruction and potentially ally with hard boy groups.
Nearly a decade post-9/11, in May 2011, U.S. Navy SEALs located and eliminated Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... , Pakistain. But al-Qaeda’s threat wasn’t entirely neutralized. Last year, another prominent al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri ...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra... , met his end in Kabul, the result of a U.S. dronezap as detailed on the U.S. Department of Defense website.
However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... despite these successes, Afghanistan’s political landscape remained volatile. As U.S. military presence diminished, the Taliban regained control, culminating in their capture of Kabul in August 2021.
22 years post-9/11, the globe faces a different landscape. The attacks reshaped geopolitics, influenced security policies, and altered perceptions of freedom and safety.
With the rise of other hard boy factions like ISIS post-Al-Qaeda’s decline, counterterrorism remains crucial. To ensure lasting peace, nations must address extremism’s root causes, from socio-economic issues to political disenfranchisement.
Commemorating 9/11’s 22nd anniversary reminds us of the innocent lives lost, the heroes of that day, and the unyielding human spirit. The lessons from 9/11 and its aftermath are enduring, continuously influencing global decisions.

... and Biden heads to Alaska to gloat over cancelling drilling operations there. To him and his handlers, 9/11 is ancient history - a regrettable but necessary step in the "fundamental transformation" of our nation into a psychotic, 3rd World Shithole. One can only hope Satan is preparing a 10th Ring for the imminent arrival of some VIPs.

Have they juiced up POTATUS enough to deliver remarks from Joint Base Icicle?
I actually preferred the interview on Iversen's show some weeks ago with an engineer. Although this UL guy touched upon technical things, I think the suspicions by the various engineers are enough to suggest much hanky-panky by some entity.
Building 7's collapse speaks volumes.
And very little about the Pentagon attack.
For the record, I think the story about hijackers with box cutters (UA 93) is bull shit.

Today, they announce $6 billion being released to Iran - today while POTATUS hides out in Alaska, we release six billion dollars to Iran, a defined state sponsor of terrorism against the United States, on the very day we remember the worst terrorist attack in our history.
[Jpost] Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo is the latest in a line of former top officials to cross a line in his desire to bring down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government.
Playing politics with Israel’s existence, as if another six million dead Jews were not a real possibility.
In an interview with the Associated Press on Wednesday, Pardo claimed that Israel is implementing an "apartheid state" policy against Palestinians in the West Bank.
"In a territory where two people are judged under two legal systems, that is an apartheid state," said Pardo, who was the Mossad chief from 2011-2016.
...The fact that Pardo held such a senior position would appear to add credence to his words. Unfortunately, his comments are factually flawed.
As the Post’s Tovah Lazaroff explained last week, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), which is home to more than two million Palestinians and half a million Israelis, is divided into three sections, Areas A, B, and C, in accordance with the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Areas A and B, which comprise 40% of the West Bank, are under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority.
The remainder of the West Bank, some 60%, is under Israel’s military and civilian control. The nearly half a million Israelis who live there are under IDF military rule but maintain the same individual rights as those who live in sovereign Israel. The more than 300,000 Palestinians who live there also do so under IDF military rule, but maintain some rights from the Palestinian Authority.
...This complicated situation has existed since Israel took control of the territories 56 years ago in the Six Day War, a war the Arab world launched on the Jewish state with the stated aim of annihilating it.
The Oslo Accords, signed 30 years ago this month, were an attempt to solve the conflict through agreement but floundered in the subsequent waves of Palestinian terrorism and anti-normalization rhetoric and measures.
How curious that Pardo, who was appointed Mossad head by Netanyahu, agreed to hold such a senior position for so many years when he believed the country he was protecting was morally wrong. The situation he describes is not new; it started long before Netanyahu entered politics.
[Real Truth - Real News ICIC] In the first session Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and his wife Prof. Dr. Karina Reiss reported about new findings concerning the effects of the mRNA-vaccine technologies, which are according to the Globalist Cabal's plan, supposed to be used for all so-called vaccines, including for example: measles, the flu, etc. They do not only cause physical damages but they also damage the small capillaries in the brain, override the blood-brain barrier and leads to massive personality changes literally breaking the will of some of those receiving the shots.
Discussion:
Author and Journalist Dr. Naomi Wolf explains what this looks like in real life and Psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin explains how there are disturbing parallels to the effects of lobotomy, which most people only know from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and which is beyond any doubt one of the most brutal, yes savage crimes against humanity ever committed. This session is not necessarily fun to watch, but it is very important for all of us to know and understand what this mRNA-Injection is doing to those who get the shots. Only then will we be able to understand why so many people who received these shots simply cannot be reached by us anymore.Show more

Not sure the polio vaccinations use mRNA "technology", but early polio vaccinations ("Cutter Incident") were disastrous. This is from the NIH Website, so take it for what it's worth.
#7
Have often looked at my Polio inoculation spot on my left arm, and wondered what else it could have negatively impacted also.
I could be wrong, NN2N1, but I believe that spot on your arm was from the small pox vaccine and the biggest impact was that you never got small pox. Just because the covid vaccine didn't work and possibly even did some damage doesn't mean small pox and polio vaccines didn't work or that they did any damage. Also, just because covid didn't kill you doesn't mean that small pox or polio would not have killed you. I could be wrong but I like to believe that we had a more responsible government back in the 1950s than we do now.

But my wife beat you to it...☺

Polio and smallpox were devastating diseases before vaccines against them were available. COVID is not in the same class at all. As for the vaccines, only the COVID vaccine introduces the all too poorly understood mRNA component that we may find out more about if honest scientific research ever again becomes the rule rather than the heavily suppressed exception.

[Shafaq News] Syria has dropped off the radar. Whatever international press the country receives is usually inspired by the periodic updates UN officials deliver to the UN Security Council—updates replete with urgent warnings about a humanitarian crisis, continued violence, and an exponentially depreciating Syrian currency.
Yet in the last few weeks, Syria's trials and tribulations have returned to the front pages. While the civil war between dictator Bashir al-Assad's government and its armed opponents has largely wound down, plenty is still going on in the country.
The most significant story emerging out of Syria this week occurred in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, host to most of the country's meager oil reserves and agricultural resources. This area has been split between pro-government forces and the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with the Euphrates River serving as the dividing line.

Foggy Bottom children like playing at Game of Thrones, and the MIC loves the profits it creates.
If they actually had to risk the lives of people they care about or define precisely what explicit national security threat is being addressed in Syria's internal, struggles, they would just spew predictable talking points some contractor wrote for them.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
