■ Death and Destruction in Gaza (John J. Mearsheimer) | I do not believe that anything I say about what is happening in Gaza will affect Israeli or American policy in that conflict. But I want to be on record so that when historians look back on this moral calamity, they will see that some Americans were on the right side of history. ● What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, an important organization in the Israel lobby, puts it, “The scope of the unfolding humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties is nearly unfathomable.” [...] First, Israel is purposely massacring huge number of civilians, roughly 70 percent of whom are children and women. The claim that Israel is going to great lengths to minimize civilian casualties is belied by statements from high level Israeli officials. [...] Second, Israel is purposely starving the desperate Palestinian population by greatly limiting the amount of food, fuel, cooking gas, medicine, and water that can be brought into Gaza. Moreover, medical care is extremely hard to come by for a population that now includes approximately 50,000 wounded civilians. Not only has Israel greatly limited the supply of fuel into Gaza, which hospitals need to function, but it has targeted hospitals, ambulances, and first aid stations. [...] Third, Israeli leaders talk about Palestinians and what they would like to do in Gaza in shocking terms, especially when you consider that some of these leaders also talk incessantly about the horrors of the Holocaust. Indeed, their rhetoric has led Omar Bartov, a prominent Israeli-born scholar of the Holocaust, to conclude that Israel has “genocidal intent.” Other scholars in Holocaust and genocide studies have offered a similar warning. ● To be more specific, it is commonplace for Israeli leaders to refer to Palestinians as “human animals, ”human beasts,” and “horrible inhuman animals.” And as Israeli President Isaac Herzog makes clear, those leaders are referring to all Palestinians, not just Hamas: In his words, “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” (More)

Michael Cassidy said that his Christian faith compelled him to destroy the “blasphemous” effigy A failed Republican Congressional candidate from Mississippi has been charged with criminal mischief for destroying a statue of the pagan idol Baphomet in the Iowa State Capitol. Satanists argue that their symbols are protected by the US Constitution. ● Michael Cassidy of Lauderdale, Mississippi, was arrested on Thursday and charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief after he beheaded and toppled the goat-headed effigy, the Iowa Department of Public Safety said on Friday. He faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $2,560 fine if convicted. ● Clad in a crimson robe and surrounded by prayer candles, the statue depicted a figure with a man’s body and a horned goat’s head holding a wicker pentacle. Baphomet is commonly associated with occultism and Satanism, and the display was erected by the Satanic Temple, a registered religious group that took advantage of state rules allowing different religions to display their symbols in the capitol over the Christmas period.

Benjamin Reese, a School teacher in Georgia, USA, has been arrested and accused of threatening to behead a 12-year-old who said that the presence of Israel’s flag in his class was offensive. | Benjamin Reese’s arrest at the middle school occurred on after a student approached and told him she was offended by the Israeli flag hanging in his classroom, according to a police account of the case. Reese, a seventh-grade social studies teacher, allegedly replied that he was a Jew and had relatives who lived in Israel. The student said “Israelis killing Palestinians” made the flag offensive, which prompted Reese to accuse her of being antisemitic. Several different witnesses then heard Reese, 51, say he would “kick [the] student’s fucking ass, slit her goddamn throat … drag her ass outside and cut her head off.”

According to a Monday filing, US Department of Justice’s Special Counsel Jack Smith intends to use the former president’s extracted phone data as evidence in his Jan. 6 trial in Washington D.C. on March 4, the day before Super Tuesday. | As reported by Politico, “Special counsel Jack Smith has extracted data from the cell phone Donald Trump used while in the White House and plans to present evidence of his findings to a Washington, D.C. jury to demonstrate how Trump used the phone in the weeks during which he attempted to subvert the 2020 election.” ● Data from the ex-president’s phone, Politico added, “could reveal day-to-day details of his final weeks in office, including his daily movements, his Twitter habits and any other aides who had access to his accounts and devices. The data, for example, could help show whether Trump personally approved or sent a fateful tweet attacking his vice president, Mike Pence, during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.” ● According to the court filing, the government has submitted a notice of an expert witness who has retrieved the former president’s cell phone data and location data.

America is less than a year out from its next likely sham of a presidential election, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is morphing into an anti-Trump SS-type paramilitary force to go after President Donald Trump's supporters. | A recent report by Newsweek highlights increasing chatter at the FBI and other federal spook agencies about how Trump supporters are likely to become more dangerous as the 2024 election approaches. The solution, according to the FBI, is to track down, spy on and persecute Trump's supporters to deter them from voting. ● According to Newsweek, "the federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbance around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers." ● The left-leaning media outlet's use of the word "army" is noteworthy because it aims to legitimize the militarization of Washington, D.C., against American citizens who plan to vote for Trump and try to get him reinstalled into the White House from 2025-2029.

Dmitry Medvedev (Дмитрий Медведев) Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council | And for this money, new rivers of blood will flow | Primitive blackmail of the US Congress by the Biden administration is not new at all and has historical precedents. "Give money to our guy (insert the right last name), or we'll have to start a war with the Russians," - that's what various American presidents have said at various times, extorting dollars from their legislators. The question today is different:
   1. Never has so much money been hammered out for a minor state in the process of disintegration.
   2. Never so aggressively and brazenly extracted money for a country that has openly corrupted a sitting U.S. president and his family.
   3. never since the Cuban Missile Crisis has the threat of a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO and a transition to World War III been so real.
This is a new phenomenon in American political discourse created by Joe, Hunter and Associates. Ahead of them looms the prospect of impeachment (which is unlikely) and electoral defeat (which is very likely). Hence, the boorish blackmail, the incessant tantrums and wild innuendos toward us. ● Of course, the Administration and their intimidated patsy will get the money. Not now, so in the new year. In order to continue the business of war at any cost. And for this money, new rivers of blood will flow, for which the Biden family and all their Bandera scum are responsible. (DeepL + LanguageTool)

While in fact greenlighting the ‘Israeli’ killing machine against the Gazan people, a top US government spokesman has claimed that Washington is doing more than “any other nation” to assist civilians in Gaza. The official also alleged that the US has pressured ‘Israel’ to be “cautious” in its bombing campaign on the densely populated territory. | Despite the relentless ‘Israeli’ bombardment, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that the US is doing everything in its power to prevent civilian deaths and get aid to those who need it most. So far, more than 16,000 Palestinians [have been killed] in Gaza. The majority of the dead are women and children. At least 7,000 more Palestinians are missing as a result of the ‘Israeli’ war, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. ● “Name me one more nation – any other nation – that’s doing as much as the United States to alleviate the pain and suffering from the people of Gaza. You can’t,” Kirby bragged on Thursday, adding that President Joe Biden is “leading the effort to get trucks, food, water, medicine, and fuel to the people of Gaza.” Kirby went on to claim that Washington is also doing more than any country to “urge our ‘Israeli’ counterparts to be as cautious and deliberate as they can be in the prosecution of their military operations.” He, however, failed to mention that any such alleged efforts haven't born any fruit… ● Earlier this week, [the US has prepared] packages that include $21 million for food, shelter and other purposes. Although the Biden administration has unveiled multiple aid packages for civilians in Gaza, it continues to be the Zionist regime’s top military donor, providing large sums of weapons and munitions for the ‘Israeli’ occupation forces. ● [The US has] set aside $38 billion for the ‘Israeli’ military (for the 2019 and 2028 fiscal year period). In addition to annual aid authorized under previous legislation, Washington has offered thousands of bombs to the Zionist military since the beginning of the ‘Israeli’ war on October 7.

According to the UN, these draconian changes are necessary to improve “human rights” in America.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, also voted “no” so he could bring the bill up again at a later date, according to The Hill. ● The White House originally requested $105 billion in emergency supplemental “national security” funding in October, choosing to bundle the aid to Ukraine with money for Israel, Taiwan and “border security” in order to appeal to Republicans. The GOP-majority House has insisted on dealing with each issue in a separate appropriations bill – which the Democrat-dominate Senate refused. ● The US has sent over $100 billion in aid to Kiev since the conflict with Russia escalated in February 2022, including weapons, ammunition, supplies, and cash to bolster the Ukrainian currency and pay pensions and government salaries. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that Ukraine would be defeated without additional funding, and that this would be entirely Washington’s fault.
