[TakiMag] Suffering from the worst approval ratings for the nation’s leader since numbers were invented, Britain’s malfunctioning android of a prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, went into last week’s Labour Party conference staring glassy-eyed into the political abyss. Other polls showed that, if a General Election were held tomorrow, the start-up anti-immigration Reform UK Party of Nigel Farage would win an outright majority with 373 MPs, while Starmer’s pro-immigration left-wing Labour Party would gain under 100, its weakest result ever.
Desperate for salvation, the Keir-bot’s cogs whirred into gear, pumping out the following defective computation: To put voters off Farage, he would claim Nigel’s proposed restrictive new immigration policies were racist. What Sir Keir did not realize is that this is precisely what rather a large proportion of fed-up voters actually want!
RIPE FOR REFORM
All the main established parties in Britain pretend they want to stop mass immigration, but they clearly don’t, because they’ve spent the past thirty years actively encouraging it. Then, once the immigrants have been here for five or so years, they qualify to apply for something called Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), which is a bit like what the British themselves once claimed from the Aboriginal authorities over in late-18th-century Australia, and look how well that turned out for the native boomerang botherers.
Now the Aborigines to be colonized are all white, however, providing Sir Keir’s Labour Party with what they naively presume will be a perpetual subservient left-wing client vote, and what the supposedly right-wing pseudo-Conservatives (currently led by a Nigerian, previously by an Indian, before that by a rotting green lettuce, and not long beforehand by a blond albino Turk) fondly imagine will be a perpetual source of cheap labor for the economy. Farage therefore wishes to modify and abolish many aspects of ILR, hopefully leading to the mass deportation of hundreds of thousands of alien settlers.
Speaking to the BBC, Starmer described Reform’s scheme as both "a racist policy" and "immoral":
"It’s one thing to say we’re going to remove illegal migrants, people who have no right to be here, I’m up for that. [No, he isn’t, this is a total lie.] It’s a completely different thing to say we’re going to reach in to people who are lawfully here and start removing them. They are our neighbors, they’re people who work in our economy, they’re part of who we are. It will rip this country apart."
I don’t know if he’s noticed at all, but the country is already being "ripped apart" by these very same people’s mass unwanted presence here, hence all the intermittent riots, etc. Yet Sir Keir’s chosen line is that it is somehow fundamentally "un-British" to want Britain to remain British.
Earlier in September, following a 150,000-strong "Unite the Kingdom" anti-immigration rally in London, at which marchers had carried British and English flags, the PM had shown his clear disapproval, explaining with typical inversion of the truth that, rather than representing England or the English people as such, the Cross of St. George actually represented "our diverse country," as in one that was full of Pakistanis, Nigerians, Syrians, Afghans, Indians, Martians, etc. So, by waving the flag in the name of the ethnic English, the ethnic English marchers were only using it as a symbol of "division," he said.
"Britain is a nation proudly built on tolerance, diversity, and respect," Sir Keir continued—except for tolerance and respect of those who don’t want any "diversity" here at all, of course.
PATRIOT GAMES
The idea of calling Reform UK racist because it wishes to act in accordance with the wishes and rational interests of native white British people for once, like British political parties are supposed to do, was clearly a predecided PR line for speakers at the Labour Party conference to have to adopt, given the number of other Cabinet members who made reference to a curiously identical notion before the party faithful. Most notable was this week’s current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who, as her name suggests, is a Pakistani Muslim who just happens to have been born here, like a dog in a stable or a pig in a hospital.
Asked whether she agreed with her boss’ assertion that Farage’s policy on ILR was racist, Mahmood, as a believer in "a greater Britain, not a littler England," argued that in fact Farage’s plan was "worse than racist" because, technically speaking, the policy would apply to white immigrants as well as non-white ones, thus giving handy cover allowing Nigel to argue it wasn’t racist at all. It is just that, as there have been far more non-white incomers allowed into the country and given undeserved leave to remain over recent decades than white ones, in practice it would mostly mean booting people of her own ethnicity back home to Islamabad, not arranging a mass prison ship back to Melbourne for fully assimilated white Australians named Bruce and Sheila.
This, she said, would have "sent a very clear signal to every racist in the land that those who have made their homes in this country, have come from other places, might one day have their status ripped off [away from them]." Yes, that’s certainly what I was hoping for myself.
Just as Keir Starmer had arbitrarily redefined the Cross of St. George and the Union Jack as somehow being symbols of black Jamaicans and brown Arabs, so Mahmood sought to equally spuriously redefine patriotism as a deep and abiding love for other people coming into your country and ruthlessly occupying it from outside:
"Patriotism, a force for good, is turning into something smaller. Something more like ethnonationalism, which struggles to accept that someone who looks like me, and has a faith like mine, can truly be English or British."
It seems a little inconsistent for a Pakistani to object to ethnonationalism. If Pakistanis repudiate the very concept so much, then how come they decided to violently split apart from India once the subcontinent finally gained independence from London in 1947, while millions on either side of the racial divide went about systematically beating, raping, burning, robbing, displacing, and killing one another on an industrial scale? It gets even better
[TWZ] Growing tensions in the Caribbean could lead to a confrontation between U.S. combat aircraft and Venezuela’s hodgepodge of air defense systems.
With the Trump administration’s counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean expanding to become a “non-international armed conflict,” the prospects of some kind of confrontation between the U.S. military and Venezuela are rising, too. On top of the counter-narcotics effort, some officials in the Trump administration are pushing to oust Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.
With the possibility of direct actions inland on cartels — now designated as unlawful combatants — becoming a real possibility, it’s worth taking a look at the air defense assets available to Venezuela, which comprise a somewhat unusual mix of older, lower-end equipment and smaller numbers of very capable systems, mainly Russian-supplied.
Yesterday, we reported on the first official imagery of the 10 U.S. Marine Corps F-35Bs forward-deployed to the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico. These jets are now undertaking patrols in the region, with open-source flight trackers pointing to sorties off the coast of Venezuela.
Commentary by Russian military jornalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Based on the statements of Putin and Gerasimov.
1. The SVO will continue until the intended objectives are achieved. No one will abandon them. This is in response to the question of Russia's alleged readiness to abandon a number of fundamental demands for the sake of the Trump deal.
2. The diplomatic process will continue in parallel, as before, and will not impact our military operations, as was the case during the Minsk agreements.
3. Large-scale mobilization is not expected; the SVO will continue as usual. That is, contract recruitment and volunteers will serve as the basis for replenishing the active army.
4. The leadership considers the pace of advancement to be good and expects the liberation of Kupyansk, which should be the next major city to be liberated by the Russian Armed Forces, to be soon.
5. Strikes against the Ukrainian rear will continue in a targeted manner, targeting both military-industrial complex facilities and infrastructure.
6. The Krasnoarmeysk and Dnepropetrovsk directions have been named the most successful for the Russian Armed Forces. The enemy continues to transfer reserves from other sectors to stabilize the front, allowing the Russian Armed Forces to advance where the enemy is withdrawing reserves.
7. Arms production volumes for the Central Military District continue to increase, and the leadership expects this factor to also impact upcoming operations.
The enemy is experiencing a serious shortage of motivated infantry and undermanned frontline units. Overall, judging by the statements, the leadership is satisfied with the current direction of events on the front, so, as Putin stated in July, if the enemy is not ready to negotiate, "we are prepared to wait a little." This means waiting on the diplomatic track, while simultaneously increasing military efforts. The next terms for the enemy will be worse than those proposed this summer.
[PJMedia] Two years ago, most of us watched the unfolding attack on Israel in real time, barely believing what was happening.
Shortly after, when the first reports of massacre began to roll in, the shock and horror felt by civilized people everywhere brought to mind the 75-year-old promise made by the world to Israel — "Never Again" — which rang hollow against the backdrop of blood and slaughter in Southern Israel.
Remember.
At the link: seven minute YouTube video from the New York Post containing scenes from 10/7/2023. I did not watch it, so can’t say what it shows. I watched enough videos when it happened — I can remember well enough without seeing it all afresh.
Two years of bloody conflict in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... have failed to shake Israel's iron resolve to eliminate the threat from Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... . Unfortunately, it has also failed to shake the resolve of the terrorists. This is the nature of asymmetrical warfare. Hamas, broken, bloodied, and yet unbowed, finally appears ready to end the current battle. I say "appears ready" because Hamas has never kept its word in any agreement, nor has it retracted any of its statements promising to kill all the Jews in Israel.
Whatever the outcome of the current negotiations, the Middle East is a very different place than it was on October 7, 2023.
Jewish Insider:
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has been weakened and Hezbollah decapitated, while a degraded Hamas, not yet defeated, fights on in Gaza, where tens of thousands have been killed and a humanitarian crisis persists. The U.S.-Israel alliance has come under strain from growing forces on the far left and right who wish to see an end to American military support for Israel. A vast anti-Israel protest movement swept across college campuses, presenting university leaders with a test — how to balance freedom of expression with protecting Jewish students — that many failed.
Yet despite the myriad challenges that have emerged from this war, Jews around the world were instilled with a new sense of pride in defense of Jewish peoplehood. More people are going to synagogue and celebrating Jewish holidays now than before Oct. 7. Judaica sales spiked as people yearned to represent their faith proudly, even as antisemitism surged around the world.
The tsunami of war has rolled over the world, and as the tide recedes, the outline of a new shore is revealed.
Sen. Lindsey Graham ...soft-spoken senator from South Carolina, former best buddy of John Maverick McCain. Since McCain's demise, Graham has become more outspoken, more Republican and more of a supporter of President Trump. The speech he gave in support of Brett Kavanaugh was downright manly and really cheesed off the Dems... (R-S.C.) told Jewish Insider, "There is the Middle East before Oct. 7 and there is the Middle East after Oct. 7. The attack was motivated by a desire to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... and Israel — which was close to being realized — building on the Abraham Accords."
It's barely mentioned today, but the push for normalization with Saudi Arabia, a process begun as a result of the Abraham Accords, was the proximate cause of the attack on Israel by Hamas. Now, it's not possible for the foreseeable future.
"The biggest change is that support for the two-state solution is at an all-time low in Israel and the animosity toward Israel on the Arab streets is at an all-time high," Graham notes.
Iran has been weakened in every way: militarily, politically, and economically. For Tehran, it's only going to get worse. The UN sanctions have "snapped back" and economic pain that will challenge the hold on power of the holy manal fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... s in control in Iran could bring about a messy revolution with an uncertain outcome.
The rest of the anti-Israel "resistance" in the Middle East is in shambles.
"Israel has since delivered just deserts to His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> , Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continued as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintained a separate PM in the West Bank. Zapped during the 2023-24 war, to eveyone's satisfaction... , the Sinwar brothers, and platoons of terrorists. Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Light of the Alawites... is at Moscow, and Tehran is smarting," writes the New York Sun.
The Sun points out the supreme irony of Israel winning the war while "Paleostine" is recognized as a state by the nations of old Europe.
Moral inversion has transpired not only on the streets but also in the gilded halls of power. One European grandee after another has swung behind the notion of a state for the Paleostinian Arabs even as Israel’s hostages languish in Gaza’s dungeons. One of those, Great Britannia, on Yom Kippur, witnessed a terrorist assault on a synagogue at Manchester. Britannia’s former foreign minister, David Lammy, was jeered at a memorial by British Jews.
Nigh every day brings a demonstration of Jews being blamed for the war being waged against them, even though Israel’s foes are also the sworn enemies of the European countries that indulge their hateful protests. Nor is Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... alone in its complicity. Early support by President Biden for Israel’s war against Hamas has yielded to a rush by the Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... to heap opprobrium on the Jewish state. Senator Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... ’s hostility is now his party’s mainstream.
Israel, meanwhile, has never wavered in its determination to do what needs to be done. Its reservists have served for thousands of days. Hundreds of its soldiers have been killed in action, working to defeat the scourge of Hamas. Its soaring stock market suggests that investors know that the Jewish state, war-locked though it might be, is a good bet because its underlying fundamentals — people, values, cause, liberty — are sterling.

Hmm Grom, we have the same God! I'm not afraid of God.
As for forgiving the Illegals, Antifa, et al, it's easy tp forgive them, after all Jesus did say to forgive seven times seventy. It seems like it's going to be hard, but turns out it's actuallyeasy.
God did say "vengeance is mine" so you k ow all the bad actors that did harm to you will be deal with
Arabs for the most part are a lost cause, but there's a few Arabs that will urn to God.

Let me finish this discussion of irrelevancies/wishful thinking with something very relevant - what I said to my best friend today.
"Not all is bad, lets see the Goyim give Hamas 100 billion $ for rebuilding!"
#12
Vengeance would be killing every single Gazan who had not called the IDF to inform on their neighbors, Seeking Cure, reducing the entire Gaza Strip to dust, and then fusing it to the glass. The Torah is not a suicide pact – Grom has a serious concern, one he expressed exceedingly politely.
Hamas leadership has repeatedly pledged that if they did not succeed in getting rid of the Jews this time, they would repeat 10/7 until successful.
Forgiveness is for those who repent their action and atone for it, not for those who believe their god demands they kill all the Jews; they are proud of what they did on 10/7 and demand to do it again. Remember that a good portion of the European half of Jewish Israelis are Holocaust survivors and their dependents, while most of the Middle Eastern/North African half fled their homes in the midst of a pogrom. There is no way in Hell they will allow a repeat, because Israel is the last stop — there is nowhere left
to flee to.
#13
I don't think nuking the Aswan dam is a good idea, Grom. As long as the Egyptians leave you alone, you should do the same for them. From where I sit, admittedly far from the Middle East, it appears that all Arabs are not the same. With the Abraham accords, it seemed that many of them are at least smart enough to understand that Iran, not Israel, is their worst enemy. Hezbollah and Hamas don't seem to understand much of anything. They look like mad dogs who need to be treated differently. Loving your enemy and turning the other cheek are fine, up to a point. But then when they keep trying to kill you...

^War between Israel and Egypt is inevitable. Because Egypt has a lot more people than it can feed. In fact, one can make the case that Egypt is already at war with Israel.
Both:
Hamas' pre war arcenal - which it could only get through Egypt, and Egypt's counter-agreements military presence in Sinai; are acts of war. So, it's only a matter of time.
#15
With regard to Egypt: President Al-Sisi’s nephew has controlled the Egypt side of access to the Gaza tunnels for years. He makes a nice income from it. So pretty much all of Hamas‘s weapons for at least the last five years went in with Egypt’s knowledge and acquiescence. While getting billions of dollars Separately, looking at Hama’s negotiations with Israel since 10/7, whether for peace, or for the hostages,Egypt has been running active interference on Hamas’s behalf. They are not neutral, they are not Israel‘s friend.
[PJMedia] Two years after the Nova music festival massacre, survivors still battle a quieter war, the one against erasure.
THE MORNING THE MUSIC STOPPED
Oct. 7, 2023, began with dancing. Thousands gathered at the Nova music festival near Re’im, close to the Gaza border, celebrating life under an open sky. By midmorning, the music was replaced by gunfire, and Hamas militants stormed the field, killing at least 378 people and taking dozens hostage. In the end, Israel calls that morning its darkest civilian massacre.
Within two years, commemoration has become its own kind of defense, with a nation remembering events through solemn exhibits and prayer vigils, even while a new enemy spreads doubt behind the scenes.
THE DISINFORMATION MACHINE
Researchers tracking Gaza wartime propaganda call the conflict one of the largest misinformation storms ever recorded.
As much as I hate using it as a reference, Wikipedia's Misinformation in the Gaza War does a reasonably good job by listing deepfakes, repurposed videos, and false captions that have reached millions.
Many of those campaigns trace back to bad actors in Russia, China, and Iran, with their goal being less persuasion than exhaustion, to make the truth seem unknowable.
Liars win when disbelief becomes habit.
THE SECOND TRAUMA
Psychologists treating October 7 survivors describe a “second trauma”: the shock of seeing your story denied by strangers.
Healing's strength depends on repetition, retelling, reposting, and reasserting reality, which for some means deleting their social media accounts. For others, it means staying visible.
Each survivor has a choice between peace of mind and public proof. Both decisions, however, carry scars.
