[IsraelNationalNews] We truly live in a strange West.
Take the president of the Scottish Students' Union. She seemed to understand Hamas' massacres. Two days earlier, she accused Labor leader Keir Starmer of being "complicit in the death of... trans people" for saying that biology matters when it comes to women. Understood? A politician with a natural view of femininity is a criminal, but a terrorist who kills Israeli boys and girls at a music festival must be understood.
They ask for "safe spaces" for gender, queer, LGBT, blacks etc.. but they don't find it scandalous to massacre Israelis. Hamas has been bombing Tel Aviv for two weeks and the rights champions are chanting "Free Palestine".
Who knows if Gianni Vattimo - the Italian homosexual philosopher who said he wanted to "shoot those Zionist bastards" - has ever thought about what they would do to him in Gaza.
Maybe they drank too much whiskey in Scotland. Let's move then to Spain, where three female ministers of the left-wing government have just asked to arrest...Benjamin Netanyahu.
In Barcelona, as in other European and American cities, there are demonstrations with rainbow flags in support of Hamas and the killing of innocent Jews.
Judith Butler, the popess of gender theory, has characterized Hamas and Hezbollah as a "resistance movement".
The Spanish Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, refused solidarity with Israel, "not in our name". The same Montero who asked if "men and women exist?", to justify the transgender law.
Who knows if men and women exist in Gaza.
Meanwhile, feminist organizations are silent about the rapes of Israeli girls by Hamas, writes Newsweek.
We are plagued by infantile ideological, nihilistic, sad chatter that exudes surrender.
On the day the Taliban took Kabul, the famous British model, feminist, influencer and actress Lily Cole had herself photographed in a burqa under a post that wanted to "celebrate diversity at all levels — biodiversity; cultural diversity; diversity of thought; diversity of voice; diversity of ideas".
"Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to make her voice heard and call for an immediate ceasefire, as well as achieving justice and freedom for the Palestinians and all civilians involved."
Greta Thunberg's social post is beautiful, as always. It's a shame that there isn't even a comma about the 1,400 Israelis murdered at dawn on October 7, the children and old people massacred, the 200 kidnapped today inside Gaza, Greta's peers killed at the rave party, the raped, the humiliated as spoils of war on the streets of Gaza City. The Manichaeism on which Greta's click-baiting militancy feeds is the realm of the binary: dominant or dominated, racist or anti-racist, executioners or victims.
And it goes without saying that Israel, symbol of the West, can never be a victim, not even on 7 October, when twenty villages ended up decimated by Hamas.
Or maybe burning Israelis alive reduces global warming?
French philosopher Michel Onfray is right, writing in this week's Le Figaro:
"Jihadists have no use for cisgender women, same-sex marriages, lesbian couples, transsexual transitions, surrogacy, quinoa salads, wind turbines and the electric bicycles of the lower middle class. This arm that its left hand holds for its personal purposes will turn against it when the time comes. In these terrible hours, the Jews were the first to be sacrificed."
But this betrayal requires a large-scale sacrifice and Islam is already on its way to subjugating the flaccid relativist society.

This conflict is much, much older than modern Israel.
"that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."
Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Tripolitan ambassador to Britain to Thomas Jefferson, London 1786

That argument no longer works. They know. It's just that they are willing to ride the wave all the way to their doom because they get to watch us meet our demise 1st - and that's all they truly desire.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] That whole distributed registration and validation thing makes payoffs difficult.
It has always been known that Bitcoin thingies use horrendous amounts of electricity, and are therefore bad for the environment — the UN is being disingenuous here.
Former President Donald Trump is once again the favorite at most sportsbooks to win the Presidency in 2024. Trump has around +160 election odds for US President. Incumbent US President Joe Biden is now around +200 at most sportsbooks with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (+1200) and former First Lady Michelle Obama (+1600) also in the mix.
Biden had been Presidential betting favorite for most of the year. Trump’s odds to win again have actually improved following three separate indictments. Trump had had been around +350 to win at most books prior to the Manhattan indictment in March. He had +275 election odds in July and was +225 on August 2 after being indicted for efforts to overturn the election three years ago.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ODDS 2024 (OCTOBER 24)
Here is a look at odds to win US President in 2024. Election odds 2024 have Donald Trump at +160. Joe Biden is +200 and Michelle Obama is +1600. View Election betting odds for those candidates and more below.
CURRENT POLITICAL LANDSCAPE
Falling on 2024 Presidential odds boards in the past few months have been anti-vaxxer Robert Kennedy Jr. and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. RFK Jr. had the third shortest odds, behind Biden and Trump, during the late summer months. DeSantis, meanwhile, had actually been the overall betting favorite at times during the first half of this year.
Biden remains the likely Democratic nominee despite struggling in polls. So far in US history, no major party has ever opted not to renominate an incumbent when he’s been eligible for reelection.
That’s partially because ousting an incumbent president has proven very difficult in US history. Prior to 2020, it hadn’t happened in nearly 30 years.
And then the analysis become more detailed. Makes me very glad I’m not a betting woman — I’d never keep all that straight.
Text taken from the V Kontakte page of Reports from the New Russia militia 25.10.23. A note from military correspondent Alexander Kots.
“The German tabloid Bild reports that ex-general director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin handed over to Vladimir Putin “a plan to strike a major city in Ukraine using a space rocket launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome.” The launch vehicle, according to the publication, was planned to be filled with 10 tons of explosives.
As evidence, Bild refers to a secret audio recording of an alleged conversation between Rogozin and the general director of the Progress rocket and space center, Dmitry Baranov, in early January 2023. The newspaper, of course, did not publish the recording itself.
Apparently, Bild suggests taking their word for it. How can you not believe such an authoritative publication?
“This story is reminiscent of the sinister plans of megalomaniac villains from the James Bond epic. And yet the action takes place in real Russia in 2023,” the author intensifies the horror from the very first lines. “A group of high-ranking Russian officials and scientists are planning a mega-terrorist attack on Ukraine, to impress dictator Putin."
After such a sparkling start, the author begins to get confused in his testimony. In the first part of the text, he claims that such a missile hitting a city would cause a huge amount of radioactive fallout. Then he declares that the rocket was planned to be filled with FAB-200 bombs. In the end comesto the conclusion that this method is not suitable, since the explosives in the bombs will not withstand the heat of the rocket. And similar nonsense.
You can’t help but wonder: does the Bild editors disrespect their readers that much? Does he think they are such morons? Even if we imagine that Rogozin and Baranov really talked about this “mega-terrorist attack,” they were either under the influence, or, more likely, deliberately trolling Western journalists, knowing that the conversation was being recorded.
In the end, we still have enough Iskanders, Daggers, Calibers and other powerful and long-range high-precision missiles. There is no need to stuff Soyuz and Progress with explosives. And we, unlike the enemy, try to avoid terrorist methods.”
Senior Russian officials are plotting to crash a space rocket crammed with explosives into the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, it has been claimed.
Leaked phone calls involving the former head of the Russian Space Agency Dmitry Rogozin and a current rocket chief Dmitri Baranov reveal the alleged plot.
The scheme was presented to Putin earlier this year by his close aide Anton Vaino, head of the Russian presidential administration. It is not known what decision - if any - was made by Putin.
[The Free Press] When Hamas terrorists crossed over the border with Israel and murdered 1,400 innocent people, they destroyed families and entire communities. They also shattered long-held delusions in the West.
A friend of mine joked that she woke up on October 7 as a liberal and went to bed that evening as a 65-year-old conservative. But it wasn’t really a joke and she wasn’t the only one. What changed?
The best way to answer that question is with the help of Thomas Sowell, one of the most brilliant public intellectuals alive today. In 1987, Sowell published A Conflict of Visions. In this now-classic, he offers a simple and powerful explanation of why people disagree about politics. We disagree about politics, Sowell argues, because we disagree about human nature. We see the world through one of two competing visions, each of which tells a radically different story about human nature.
Those with "unconstrained vision" think that humans are malleable and can be perfected. They believe that social ills and evils can be overcome through collective action that encourages humans to behave better. To subscribers of this view, poverty, crime, inequality, and war are not inevitable. Rather, they are puzzles that can be solved. We need only to say the right things, enact the right policies, and spend enough money, and we will suffer these social ills no more. This worldview is the foundation of the progressive mindset.
By contrast, those who see the world through a "constrained vision" lens believe that human nature is a universal constant. No amount of social engineering can change the sober reality of human self-interest, or the fact that human empathy and social resources are necessarily scarce. People who see things this way believe that most political and social problems will never be "solved"; they can only be managed. This approach is the bedrock of the conservative worldview.
Hamas’s barbarism—and the explanations and celebrations throughout the West that followed their orgy of violence—have forced an overnight exodus from the "unconstrained" camp into the "constrained" one.

This is a necessary step. The "Delusions" have kept many a folk locked into a camp they couldn't fathom for themselves. This population is rapidly dissolving against the onslaught of current reality. The moment must be seized by those defending civilization or the delusions will soon return. Crossroads are easy to navigate. Roundabouts not so much.

Comment #7 is why I have no problem with extirpating muzzists anywhere they are wasting the human race's air. It's not genocide because muzzizm is not a race. It is something they are brain-washed into from birth. not something found in DNA>

[Beege W. at HotAir] This week is always difficult for Marines. The memory of the Beirut bombing is one of those sores that never heals. It’s a betrayal that you never fully learn to deal with if you were active duty when it happened. You keep the memory alive both to honor your fallen brothers and to keep fresh the manner of enemy they were dealing with. Still dealing with to this very day.
That’s why this year’s anniversary — the 40th since the bombing of the Marine barracks with its horrific losses — was especially poignant but particularly in focus.
Marines are being sent back to those same shores at this very moment to deal with the exact same barbarians.
Only instead of a patriot as president, we have a befuddled, malevolent vegetable whose own administration has financed and succored both the perpetrators of the October 7th massacre in Israel, and their ideological and material godfathers in Iran.
An administration so morally twisted that they can claim they "stand with Israel" as it roots out those responsible for the horrors inflicted upon its innocent citizens in their very homes, even as they actively work against the Israeli plans.
The Biden administration is actively holding the Israelis back from finishing the savages off. There are myriad reasons and didn’t David just post on the most recent. Possibly the scariest.
Oh FFS.
The story about why Israel has yet to make a ground invasion of Gaza is becoming clear, and it is yet another embarrassment for the United States under Joe Biden.
Israel has been prepared to enter Gaza to eliminate Hamas, but the ground invasion keeps getting delayed. The reason why?
The US is unprepared to defend US military installations in the area.
These pathetic, waffling doofuses — perpetually running 6 steps behind even as they commit US troops to the theater.

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.
