[News With Views] "An evil enemy, will burn his own nation to the ground...to rule over the ashes." —Sun Tzu
This particular piece is not written for my amen corner readers... It’s a fair warning to those of you who have been conned with blatant lies your entire lives.
You have now identified yourselves as supporters of the most subhuman brutal forms of terrorism experienced anywhere on earth. This is either because you left your 3rd world home and brought your garbage here to the USA with you, or you are a foolish child who has been deeply and dangerously indoctrinated with totally false history, by democrat Marxists in the anti-American U.S. education system.
Either way, you are now a huge problem in the USA which must be dealt with. You have identified yourselves as not just anti-Israel, anti-Jew, and pro-terrorism, but as a result, anti-American as well.
What you are doing in American cities right now, chanting "death to America," is far closer to an "insurrection" against the United States than anything that happened on January 6, 2021. Every sane American knows it.
[Regnum. Google Translate] Many images of the Palestinian attack on Israel (killing civilians, mocking hostages, mocking corpses) are real horror. You may ask: haven’t we seen a lot of this kind of horror before from a variety of war zones or performed by a variety of terrorists? We saw it. But this goes on and on, the thicker it gets. Before our eyes, the so-called world stability is collapsing, which, as it seemed to many, will only become even more stable in the future.
But this was an ordinary illusion of the human consciousness, trying to fix the positive and not part with it, even in the face of a real threat. Moreover, modern psychotherapeutic practices are mostly based on this. But such a departure from reality can be costly for both individuals and entire communities. Because the reality is that the belief that humanity has made incredible moral progress since the Middle Ages is a dangerous delusion.
Just look on the average college graduate.
...The period that began after World War II, and especially in the early 90s, seemed to be a new era in human history. Various kinds of humanists imagined that people were about to finally mature into mutually beneficial cooperation and consumer "paradise." But it was precisely at this time that the popularity of horror as a cinematic genre was growing sharply, which should be read as a warning that evil lurks in the depths of the human soul, and not at all in some structures of external suppression.
At the same time, terrorism as a phenomenon is becoming truly widespread. After all, terrorism is the other side of humanism. Terror by representatives of "oppressed peoples" is always not only inhumanity, but deliberate meanness. They do not expect in response the total destruction of all their fellow tribesmen, as Genghis Khan or even, perhaps, Oliver Cromwell would have done in response. On the other hand, they proceed from the fact that the "oppressors" value the lives of each of their people, and therefore, according to the logic of terrorists, must retreat.
Innocent women and children of Gaza, anyone?
And this does not mean that humanism is bad, it just needs to be sighted and not blinded by illusions.
The English words terror and horror are practically synonymous (the difference is in the shades of meaning) and mean horror. What is the main genre feature of horror? If we are dealing with a real, unalloyed example, then there is no happy ending in it.
The most striking example of recent days, just a pure plot for horror, is an electronic music festival in Israel, the participants of which are attacked by terrorists and the very horror and "ultra-violence" begins, the threat of which its participants naively and even quite idiotically intended to "displace" with their dancing . For some reason, since the 60s of the last century, such people have never understood that the slogan "make love not war" is by no means universal.
There are those who cannot be pacified by dancing. It's a joy for them to dance at your funeral. And horror films are about them, by the way.
...Regardless of our desires, ideas, hopes, we are entering a new era. It will no longer be possible to live in it (or rather, survive) in the inertia of old meanings. The time is coming for liberation from the illusions of stability and security. Horror leaves no choice.
There should not be a single chance for a happy ending for those who are living bearers of horror, for those who immerse women and children in it. Regardless of the personal and collective psychological trauma of terrorists, their declared intentions and justifications that the left-liberal public, on the one hand, and some statesmen, on the other, always find for them.
This has already been tested more than once: humanists who deny reality themselves often become victims of agents of Horror. And geos - and just politicians who believe that they can use them as a tool, regularly find themselves in the role of a failed magician who managed to summon a demon, but failed to control it.

Once you embrace the fuckedness of the ending, the trip gets easier.

With any luck the age of strategic war, strategic targeting, and limited war will be over. Ony the horror of total war keeps adversaries at bay.

Yes. Putting executions behind prison walls, hidden from the public eye, sure seems to have diminished the deterrent factor.

Not all cultures are created equal; not all cultures deserve to exist. Rape Culture has no place on the planet. Hence, humanity is denied the happy ending:
"They do not expect in response the total destruction of all their fellow tribesmen."
[ConservativeTreehouse] Good grief, if the stakes of this issue were not so high, I probably would not have watched this. Alas, a review was necessary to judge the competency of policy. What follows is beyond sad.
I know many readers here will not like the thought of watching pudding brain mutter his way through a carefully edited and controlled interview by a corporate outlet intent on presenting Biden in the best possible light. However, ars longa, vita brevis... you only really need to watch the introduction by CBS host, Scott Pelley.
Never before have I seen a more transparently pathetic political defense presented as the introduction to an interview of a U.S. president. Pelley was apologetic toward Biden in the extreme, leading the viewer into an interview with prescripted justification and excuses for the content that would follow. Watching Pelley set up this interview elicits a sense of embarrassment that such a set-up is needed. When he gets into the interview, Pelley actually constructs the talking points for Biden, with explanations and outlines that provide simple yes/no answers from Biden. This interview is so soft, it becomes pathetic to watch:

I still remember Scott Pelley saying that Christopher Steele was a reliable source. Well, that's CBS for you. Too bad none of the other mainstream media outlets are any better.

The Iranians make some deal with MBS to trade Gaza to the Saudis. For what? I don't know, but those Saudi guys are rich.
MBS and the Saudis get their more respected (and on the payroll) Imams to take over Hamas. They have the money to do this.
MBS and the Israelis make some deal that really helps the Saudis and gives the Israelis what they need.
The Saudis build the Arab Riviera on Gaza and a major port there as well. Plenty of local labor for construction and hotel services. Becomes a tourist spot.
MBS gets a well deserved Nobel Peace Prize for solving the crisis. During his acceptance speech, he thanks Khashoggi to show how much he cares.
[Gateway] The Biden regime missed the dealiest attack on Jews since World War II after the administration diverted assets away from the Middle East to Ukraine last year.
Over 1,300 Jews were slaughtered last week by the Hamas attack on southern Israel. Over 120 Jews were taken hostage by the barbarians.
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe joined Laura Ingraham on Monday to discuss the pogrom in Israel less than two weeks ago.
Laura Ingraham: I want to get into the value of our intel going to Israel at this point because there have been some questions about whether information that we had about a potential attack ever made its way to Israel, and whether we had sufficient intel on this. So there is some new reporting tonight that is claiming that the CIA intel on this Hamas attack never reached Biden, saying that they were dismissed as routine and "US intel agencies were focused on other international threats primarily China, Russia, and Iran. And this strategic shift in priorities may have contribute to this lack of attention given to intelligence on Hamas."... So CIA might be trying to cover its you know what, John, but. they’re saying, we saw this was going to come and they were distracted with other priorities. It reminds me of what happened before 911.
John Ratcliffe: Well, I have talked with folks within the intel community presently that have indicated that unfortunately, the Biden administration may have redirected or retasked some intelligence assets away from the Middle East to Ukraine. And I don’t know whether that is the case, but I do know this, Laura. We both want the United States to be the ally that Israel needs right now. But what’s inescapable is the fact that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was on national TV doing a not so humble brag two weeks ago saying that the Middle East has never been quieter and he’s spent less time on those issues than any of his predecessors in the last 20 years. And that is a whiff of epic proportions because obviously, just two weeks later the Israeli people have suffered the worst atrocity since the Holocaust.
And so the role that the US should be playing, Laura, is that our best intelligence enterprise, our human intelligence, our signals intelligence, our geospatial intelligence should working hand in glove with the Israelis to support them in what they need. But I think there are real questions about our own intelligence assets and capabilities as directed by this administration.
As John Ratcliffe said — Another whiff by the Biden administration. And now there are 1,300 dead Jews and likely more.

"Doesn't know?" They just told you. How about asking the Three Letter Agency heads ?
"redirected or retasked some intelligence assets"
Re-tasking may not be enough. Perhaps monetary encouragement to HAMAS via Iran should also be implemented ?

they also had allocated a lot of resources to the northern border and the PA territory

The Did Biden regime missed the deadliest attack on Jews since World War II , or was it the LSD's and their well documented Antisemitism agenda at play again?
[American Greatness] As Hamas goes, so with it go many of the following related Western pretensions.
THE PASSIONS OF 9/11, REDUX
It has been 22 years since we saw crowds throughout the Middle East celebrating the murder of 3,000 civilians—and since newspapers had daily "idiot watch" notices of American intellectuals defending radical Islamist mass murderers. And now the madness is back again, and we are witnessing the recrudescence of normalizing radical Islamic terrorists abroad.
I suppose the theory is that no one in America cares much about radical Islamists foaming at the mouth, whether abroad or here. And the result is that they are empowered and their defense of murder is growing—yet its hubris will earn an almost-certain response, an anger slowly but insidiously growing at radical Islam.
A MIDDLE EAST POLICY IN RUINS
The current Biden appeasement of Iran and gift of billions of dollars in aggregate to the West Bank and Gaza are now, by bipartisan consensus, unsustainable. The only supporters of that lethal madness left are the embarrassments of BLM, the Squad, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the campus crowd.
Their collective hatred of Jews and Israelis was manifested in their delight over the post mortem mutilations of murdered women and children. And why—even before Israel had responded with air attacks—were leftists and Islamists suddenly celebrating the news of the executions of more than 1,200 Jews? It was instinctual, a Pavlovian response.
Even some leftist Democrats were shocked by their own constituents, whom they had created. Biden still might cling to his past destructive Middle East policies (and I expect him to restrict the Israelis within days after they begin to go in full force into Gaza), but the idea of continuing aid to the West Bank and Gaza or of "normalizing" relations with theocratic Iran will now be rightly seen as a suicidal delusion.

..true. However, certain funding can make a tectonic shift from subsidizing the neo-communists in the States to populist candidates in the coming election.

[REGNUM] The war in Israel has led to a sharp division in the United States. The White House is formally striving for de-escalation, but very sluggishly and leisurely. Joe Biden is simultaneously under intense pressure from both the liberal wing of the Democrats, who accuse Israel of war crimes, and hawks in both parties, who demand that they help Israel in every way possible. The Biden team itself is actually trying to sit on two chairs - but this is unlikely to succeed.

Weakness, shmickness. Gazuks been asking for it for 18 years. And now, unless our American patrons geek, Gaza provides a very good lesson to the Muslim Middle East. Namely: "State building era is over - get out of line, and you get that's comming to you!"

^^And if you think that Russians or Chinese will save you, think again.
Russia is surrounded by, supper, hostile neighboors.
And for China, you're not even monkeys.

I think that they will pull off something in the US. The Biden Administration will shoot blame all about like tee shirt distribution time at an NBA game. Americans won’t buy their line of bull based on the Louisiana results.

[Politico] An organization backed by Silicon Valley billionaires and tied to leading artificial intelligence firms is funding the salaries of more than a dozen AI fellows in key congressional offices, across federal agencies and at influential think tanks.
The fellows funded by Open Philanthropy, which is financed primarily by billionaire Facebook co-founder and Asana CEO Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna, are already involved in negotiations that will shape Capitol Hill’s accelerating plans to regulate AI. And they’re closely tied to a powerful influence network that’s pushing Washington to focus on the technology’s long-term risks — a focus critics fear will divert Congress from more immediate rules that would tie the hands of tech firms.
Acting through the little-known Horizon Institute for Public Service, a nonprofit that Open Philanthropy effectively created in 2022, the group is funding the salaries of tech fellows in key Senate offices, according to documents and interviews.

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.
