[Federalist] The government is setting up illegal migrant camps for fighting-age men from some of the West’s greatest recent enemies and yet is surprised when its military bases come under internal attack from within.
Investigations continue, and nobody fully knows what truly happened here yet, least of all, one suspects, the relevant U.K. authorities. The latest speculation from U.S. officials is that Iran may possibly have been planning a drone attack. What we can say with absolute certainty, however, is that the whole fiasco exposes just how rickety the entire British national security infrastructure is now perceived to be, by allies and foes alike.
There are several joint U.S.-U.K. military airbases across England, dating back to the Cold War, when the country still controlled its borders properly and enemies within were fairly scarce. As a result, external security is often surprisingly poor, consisting of little more than simple chain-link fences.
If Iran really wanted to damage U.S. planes, it would probably be far easier to do it using paid illegal immigrant proxies in England than surface-to-air missiles over the Gulf of Hormuz. British RAF bases have been easily breached beforehand by criminals no more sophisticated than keffiyeh-loving middle-class student-types. Only last year, a ragtag rabble from the left-wing activist mob Palestine Action easily managed to break into RAF Brize Norton, damaging military refueling aircraft by spray-painting them red. At least two vandals breached security whilst riding e-scooters.
The pro-Hamas vandals only had paint. Actual imported Hamas members could have had nitroglycerin. So seriously do the powers-that-be take security at RAF Brize Norton that, following the attack, the BBC broadcast an actual guide effectively educating evil-doers how best to break in there! (Just look for “weaker spots, perhaps covered in foliage” with “slightly smaller fences, no barbed wire,” advised the helpful reporter.)
At the same RAF base in 2023, a pointless queer DEI hire Estates Facilities Manager called Sara Hayes installed the first gay-friendly RAF “rainbow crossing.” She evidently felt protecting visiting trans-identifying individuals from being run over by passing aircrews was far more important than ensuring that certain lengths of the perimeter fencing were not obscured from sentries’ beady eyes by excessive “foliage.” The base’s then-overall commander was a mere HR lady posing as a soldier, who has in the past complained that “personality traits such as patriotism and bravery are viewed as desirable within the military.”
[DeutscheWelle] The men were arrested for breaching a perimeter fence at a UK air base that houses US and NATO intelligence operations. The incident comes after an alleged terror plot at another air base in England was foiled recently.
Two Latvian men have been arrested for breaching the perimeter fence at an RAF base used by the US military, UK police said Thursday.
The two UK residents, aged 36 and 32, were arrested by counterterrorism police at the Royal Air Force (RAF) Molesworth base in southeastern England, 70 miles north of London.
Police said they were being held on suspicion of trespassing, causing criminal damage and entering a prohibited place "for a purpose prejudicial to the UK."
A former World War II airbase, RAF Molesworth, is now a non-flying facility that is managed by the US Air Force. It houses intelligence personnel from US Africa Command and the NATO Intelligence Fusion Center, which provides information to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.
The incident comes after several men were arrested amid an alleged terror plot at another UK air base last month.
The men were discovered after Ministry of Defense Police found an abandoned vehicle during a security patrol at RAF Molesworth, about 60 miles north of London, and raised the alarm.
Subsequent checks uncovered a small breach in the perimeter fence, and the two men, aged 32 and 36, were arrested inside the base.
They were initially arrested on suspicion of trespassing on a prohibited site and criminal damage, before being re-arrested on suspicion of “entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK” under the National Security Act 2023.
RAF Molesworth is used by US personnel and hosts intelligence analysis and command operations, as well as a NATO intelligence center. It is not used for flying operations.
Police said both men were residents of Britain and that officers were searching two addresses in the area around Peterborough, a nearby city.
Bomb disposal officers checked the abandoned vehicle but found nothing of concern, police said.
[Federalist] Protests raged at more than 1,200 French high schools in a single week, with arson, blockades, attacks, and clashes with police. This is not a student movement grown out of control, it is a legitimacy crisis in action.
In the U.S., the plan for a similar rejection of government authority metastasized from sporadic anti-ICE violence in the 2010s to the burning of police stations and major city blocks in 2020, the roadblocks by Gaza protesters in 2024, and the dramatic anti-federal uprising in Minneapolis in January 2026.
The plan to smuggle in a revolution is in full swing. That’s what democratic socialism is — an explicit revolution. The U.S. Constitution and democratic socialism cannot coexist, and yet an adherent of that alien form of government, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is again considered a potential front-runner for the U.S. presidency in 2028. And People magazine is much friendlier to AOC than it ever was to Bernie Sanders.
About their aims, don’t believe me, believe their own program. The Democratic Socialists of America on its official website calls for a new constitution, abolition of the Senate and Electoral College, and replacement of the presidency and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. This movement is growing and must be understood as a literal plan for revolution.
Socialist Strength in the U.S.
Many of us read in history books about the rise of socialism and communism in the U.S., beginning in the 19th century, but the movement is closer to political power today than its most famous American predecessors ever came. Socialist Party nominee Eugene V. Debs received roughly 900,000 votes nationwide in the 1912 presidential election. Bernie Sanders received 13.2 million in the 2016 Democratic nominating contest alone, nearly 15 times as many votes, while the voting-eligible population had grown by only about ninefold.
Members of this revolutionary party are firmly ensconced in our national legislature. A 2025 Cato/YouGov survey found that socialism’s favorable rating among Democrats was 17 percentage points higher than capitalism’s: 67 percent versus 50 percent.
[PJ Media] Jack Dunphy. Hit the article for the hyperlinks
The two young women are separated by 82 years, but to look at their photographs you might think they were sisters. And in a sense they are.
As Israel and its friends prepared to mark the third anniversary of the October 7 atrocities, I considered but then abandoned the thought of contributing a piece for the occasion here on PJ Media. I’m not a Jew, after all, nor did I know anyone who suffered the horrors of that day. Others, I reasoned, were better suited to write on the topic, as indeed they did (see here and here, for example).
But then, as the hours passed yesterday and I began to see images of the pro-Hamas marches taking place in New York City and elsewhere, I was jolted into awareness that this is not a time to remain silent.
While scrolling through X yesterday, I came across this post from Rabbi Elchanan Poupko, the video from which originated with Freedomnews TV. The video shows a young woman, in her late teens or early twenties, watching from a New York City sidewalk as the local chapter of the Hamas Admiration Society marches past braying their insipid chants.
The woman in the video is plainly overcome with sadness, but no one in the nearby crowd can bestir himself to offer her comfort or even a kind word. "If she is one of our people," writes Rabbi Poupko in concluding his post, "there is no sympathy. Like in the 1930s, the world has decided it can be cruel to Jewish people. If you do know her, please let her know that every Jewish person stands with her."
The video has been widely viewed on X and elsewhere, and I hope that in writing about this woman I don’t bring additional unwanted attention upon her, but I want her to know it is not only Jewish people who stand with her.
In seeing her anguish I was immediately reminded of a haunting picture. On March 25, 1944, the Weeping Woman of Ioannina was photographed as she and the 2,000 other Jews of Ionnanina, Greece, were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. Nearly all of them would die there, though the woman in the iconic photograph somehow survived.
Perhaps we will learn why the woman in New York was so moved, but I suspect she fears that if all those people marching in the street were to have their way, she and her family and friends will one day hear the knock on the door, the same knock heard by the Jews of Ioannina and so many other cities and towns across Europe in the 1930s and -40s.
This is not hyperbole. As they have been since even before the bodies were counted three years ago, the Hamas fans were very explicit in expressing their hatred for Jews yesterday. "There is only one solution," they shout, "intifada revolution." This is much more than a dog whistle; it is a not so thinly veiled call for the elimination of Jews, not just from Israel but from everywhere. If you doubt this, consider that some of yesterday’s marchers held posters of Yahya Sinwar, who, while imprisoned for the abduction and murder of two Israeli soldiers, had a life-threatening brain tumor removed by Israeli surgeons. He was among the more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released in exchange for a single captive Israeli soldier in 2011. He repaid these acts of mercy by going on to plan and lead the savagery of Oct. 7, 2023. (He was killed in battle a year later.
Later in the video in which the crying woman appears, we see a verbal confrontation between a marcher and man seated at a sidewalk café. In word and gesture, the man calmly expresses his contempt for the marcher and his cohorts, but what I found more interesting was the reaction of two young men seated next to him. Rather than risk being associated with their fellow customer, they move to an adjacent table in the hope of avoiding any escalation that might occur.
Perhaps this was the prudent choice in the moment, but the day is fast approaching when prudence must give way to courage. The Weeping Woman of Ioannina and the millions of Europe’s Jews were rounded up and sent to death camps because the world, like the two men at the café, like everyone who fails to recognize evil and confront it, stood by and allowed it to happen.
"Never again" is not an idle slogan. "Never again" starts with you.
