 (Above: screen shot from NBC News) The Moscow-Washington Axis of Evil By Cliff Kincaid It looks like the deployment of U.S. military forces to the Middle East, supposedly to prevent a wider war, is really designed to prevent Israel from winning the war. Meanwhile, the anti-Semitism that is on the rise has now spawned a strain of anti-Christian bigotry directed against the new House Speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson, who is pro-Israel and passed a bill with emergency aid for the Jewish state. Johnson’s “sin” is that he is a Christian who believes in the Bible. Every day brings another story attacking Johnson’s Christian faith. When one talks about the “Judeo-Christian traditions” of this nation, one inevitably must consider the influence of the Bible on the American nation. Johnson’s rise to the position of Speaker of the House is a dramatic indication that an invisible hand may be playing a role in national and world events. Although I am not a Bible prophecy expert and do not know how these events fit into the Biblical version of the “End Times,” we can certainly understand the stakes by naming those determined to undermine the United States and its historical allies. On the one side, we have Biden’s director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby, who has been busy trying to differentiate a proposed “pause” in Israeli military operations from a “ceasefire.” He is a living example of why Senator Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military nominations is valid and worthwhile. If any of these people waiting for high-ranking appointments are of the moral caliber as Kirby, those positions are better left vacant. Kirby is now paid to defend the Pentagon policy of paying for the travel of Pentagon personnel in violation of federal law for abortions. This crowd believes in the “sacrament” of abortion, which makes some sense considering that the extermination of the unborn is consistent with the failure of the military services to recruit enough people to serve the nation. Without people, the military cannot defend the nation. Without babies, the family as an institution will collapse. It is apparent that Kirby rose in the military ranks because he lacks moral character. People of this caliber cannot be counted on to save Israel – or America. Even more importantly, when the Pentagon promotes abortion to such an illegal extent, you must wonder if our nation is worth saving, and whether the U.S. military can save it. As patriots based in the Judeo-Christian tradition, of course, we know the nation is worth saving but we have to know that the Pentagon, under current leadership, cannot save it. And it cannot save Israel either. This is why the double-talk about a “pause” versus “ceasefire” in the Middle East is more of the same from this administration. Their official position is that, even if Israel wins the war against Hamas, it must agree to a “two-state solution” of Israel sitting next to a so-called “Palestinian state.” This is national suicide for Israel, considering that such a state would be openly backed by Russia, China, and Iran. As Joe Biden’s Middle East policy is being exposed as morally bankrupt, there are leaks to the media that Biden wants Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to leave office. He understands what is at stake and has rejected Biden’s plea for a “pause” in military operations. Netanyahu watches as Vice President Kamala Harris announces a task force investigating “Islamophobia” while attacks on Jews and Christians accelerate. As Speaker Johnson seeks Divine guidance in the Congressional Prayer Room, near his new office, in the tradition of General and President George Washington, Johnson quite literally holds the fate of the United States in his hands. The fate of the world lies in the hands of Israel, too. As I noted in a column more than two years ago, Netanyahu is too knowledgeable about the roots of international terrorism not to grasp that Israel’s real enemies are in Moscow and Beijing and that Washington under Biden/Harris has emerged as another adversary. Our book Red Jihad, published back in 2016, cited substantial evidence of Russian involvement with the Jihadists targeting Europe, the United States, and Israel. Netanyahu understands that one of Russian President Putin's key advisers, Alexander Dugin, has explained that a “strategic alliance” exists between Iran and Russia, and that Russia supports Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. With that knowledge in hand, Netanyahu must understand that Israel’s fate is tied to the survival of Ukraine and its ability to resist the Russian invasion. Israel will not be free and independent until Ukraine achieves the same outcome. Here at home, some people are waking up. A few wealthy businessmen who have poured billions of dollars into the Marxist Madrassas known as colleges and universities are realizing that the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel protests are based on the campuses and are threatening the lives of Jewish students. On Thursday night, NBC Nightly News aired a story on “Rising Tensions on Campus.” What NBC did not highlight was the fact that the demonstrators carried a banner, “From the River to the Sea: Palestine Will Be Free,” advocating the extermination of the Jews in Israel, and that the banner was sponsored by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), an openly Marxist-Leninist group. The FRSO is not a typical liberal campus group.“The Palestinian resistance is dealing a heavy blow to the Israeli apartheid state,” says the FRSO. “The decades of oppression, humiliation and callous cruelty by the occupiers of Palestine are being answered in the only language oppressors truly understand.” Such rhetoric is a justification for mass murder. In truth, the communists are behind most of the anti-Israel protests. We have documented dozens of such groups active on college campuses and in American society. They operate openly, including broadcasts in honor of the Communist Manifesto on YouTube, because the FBI does not pay attention to them. Instead, the FBI monitors Catholic and pro-life groups. Their Mein Kamph is the Communist Manifesto. Their operations are also driven by the influence of the Russian forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It helped instigate the First Holocaust and helps explain why anti-Semitism is today at the heart of the worldwide communist terrorist movement and even cited in the charter of the Iran-backed Hamas movement. Not surprisingly, leaders of Hamas and Iran have been meeting in Moscow to plot their next moves. They are counting on the Biden Administration to betray Israel and for Israel’s leaders to capitulate.

 Mental Illness Is Celebrated on Fox News By Cliff Kincaid If you want to understand mental illness, watch the media, including the “conservative” cable channel Fox News. Fox News thinks it is headline news that “Liberal comedian Bill Maher linked House Speaker Mike Johnson to the Maine mass shooter, suggesting both were mentally ill…” Johnson holds a Christian worldview on domestic and world events. Maher is a notorious stoner, a proponent of “recreational marijuana.” It is mentally disturbing for a “conservative” channel to feature such nonsense. A Fox host, Jessica Tarlov, was on the Maher show on HBO, laughing it up. To make matters worse, Fox co-host Kayleigh McEnany discussed Maher’s attacks on his faith when she had the chance to interview Johnson. Why is anything that the stoner Maher says newsworthy? Meanwhile, on the “progressive” side, the Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP) is distributing a news release attacking Johnson as a “MAGA extremist.” In a brilliant move, Johnson has decided to introduce the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024 so that U.S. ally Israel can get $14.3 billion in needed funds in its war on Hamas from IRS funding in the so-called “Inflation Reduction” Act passed by Democrats. Even before this move was made, one of CAP’s complaints was that Johnson wants to “defund the U.S. Department of Justice and special counsel Jack Smith's investigations into former President Donald Trump.” If the Department of Justice, including the FBI, were functioning correctly, defunding Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.N.-trained lawyer Jack Smith would not be necessary. However, FBI Director Christopher Wray made headlines on Tuesday about terror threats. Fox News suddenly treated his pronouncements as the Gospel. Mental illness is all around us. You can’t escape it. For his part, Maher brags about his stoner ways. For his part, Speaker Johnson has been spending time in the Congressional Prayer Room, which includes a stained glass window with George Washington kneeling in prayer and the words from Psalm 16:1, “Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I put my trust.” “My name is Legion, for we are many,” was Satan’s answer to Jesus’ question, “What is your name?” Today, various “experts” insist that this is all mental illness. But from the mass murderer in Maine to the Hamas terror attack on Israel, we see that a demonic force is spreading death and destruction in the world. Marijuana use may explain Bill Maher’s remarks. But how do you explain why Fox thinks his comments are noteworthy? We have substantial documentary evidence of the link between pot and so-called mental illness. This is the story Fox should cover. States like Maryland are still expanding access to the mind-altering drug. It was legalized on July 1 under the supervision of Maryland’s Democratic Governor, Wes Moore, who made more than $1 million when he sat on the board of a marijuana company. The “progressive” group Maryland Matters notes that there are 101 licensed dispensaries in the state, while the coming round of “cannabis dispensary expansion” means more than 170 licenses will be issued, to “bolster social equity” in the industry. This means the state wants to make it easier for minorities to get hooked on dope, generating more sales for the marijuana industry and more tax revenue for liberal government. It also means more crime. Meanwhile, one of the marijuana companies operating in Maryland, Curaleaf, is under investigation by the state over its financial ties to a Russian businessman friend of Vladimir Putin. In Illinois, where dope has been legal since 2020, McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally has required local marijuana businesses “to warn customers of the mental health dangers associated with use, including psychosis, depression, and suicidal ideation…” The State’s Attorney’s office disclosed, “In 2022, McHenry County’s suicides nearly doubled, with cannabis, not alcohol, being the most common drug found in the blood samples of decedents. Hospitalizations for suicidal ideation and prevalence of mental health disorders in McHenry County have increased significantly since 2020. About half of our recent murders involve cannabis or cannabis-induced psychosis, and cannabis DUIs have doubled.” Hence, legal dope will inevitably lead to more mental illness and more violence and death. Incredibly, some jurisdictions in the United States are legalizing psychedelic drugs. We saw where that can lead in the case of the pilot charged with trying to disable a jet’s engines after taking psychedelic mushrooms. He was off-duty but riding in an extra cockpit seat on a Horizon Air flight. He could have killed 83 people. The pilot, Joseph Emerson, “talked about the use of psychedelic mushrooms,” the affidavit in the case revealed. He said, “It seemed like the pilots weren’t paying attention to what was going on…I pulled both emergency shut off handles because I thought I was dreaming and I just wanna wake up.” Thankfully, this case of attempted mass murder was averted when the stoner was stopped and shackled. As if this case of drug-induced mental illness was not shocking enough, consider the spectacle of thousands of college-educated young people marching in support of the terrorism of Hamas. Fox News acts horrified by all of this. Yet it features the anti-Christian remarks of Bill Maher and asks Speaker Johnson to respond to them. Some think Maher is funny. I find Fox disgusting for covering his disgusting anti-Christian bigotry. It’s not funny. I think they are all mentally ill. They need help. They need God. Fox co-host Kayleigh McEnany, like many other Fox hosts, wears her religion around her neck, as a Christian cross dangles in front of her on the air, so she can advertise her faith. But Jesus taught, “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.” The Fox hosts do not fool me. They are worse than Maher, an out-of-the-closet stoner who should be pitied, not taken seriously or even laughed at. All of these people should go through rehab.
 Has Israel Already Lost the War? By Cliff Kincaid If this Axios story about Biden’s “post-war” plan for the Middle East is true, Israel has already lost the war – and its very existence is now in jeopardy. Biden financed the war by financing Iran, wants to finance Israel’s limited counter-attack, and now wants Israel to agree to a Moscow-backed “Palestinian state,” which will be a surrogate for Iran. Congress is poised to approve more aid for Israel, on Biden’s request, when Biden is financing both sides of the war, as Moscow and its Middle East surrogate, Iran, plan their next moves. The headline, “Biden's post-war plan: New talks on Israel-Palestine two-state solution,” represents more of the same. This time, it can get far worse. There is no reason why House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson should rubber-stamp what Biden is doing in the Middle East. To understand Israel’s predicament, look at what is happening to America. We have the country of Mexico on our own border, a Narco-state acting as a facilitator of a border invasion that includes millions of illegals and deadly fentanyl. Biden is comfortable with that. He wants Israel, in response to the Hamas invasion, to accommodate an official “State of Palestine” on its border, capable of importing weapons openly from Moscow and Beijing and maintaining open and friendly relations with Iran. The so-called “State of Palestine” already has official status at the U.N., which helps explain why the socialist U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has, in effect, justified the Hamas attack. “For many years,” his official bio says, “Mr. Guterres was active in the Socialist International, a worldwide organization of social democratic political parties. He was the group’s vice-president from 1992 to 1999…” Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón of Spain, the current president of the Socialist International has reiterated that the organization favors global recognition of two states, Israel and Palestine. The Israeli political party Meretz is a member of the SI. So is Fatah, which is the Palestinian Authority, the successor to the Soviet-sponsored Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Israel even has a Communist Party active on its soil. The Axios story says, “During the past year, Biden has sought to ease tension in the Middle East by pushing for a mega deal with Saudi Arabia that would include a historic peace agreement between the kingdom and Israel. U.S. officials said they’d been making progress in the weeks before the war -- and had begun discussing with Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Palestinian Authority about what a Palestinian component of such an agreement might look like.” While criticizing Hamas, Biden thinks the Palestinian Authority is entitled to statehood. Biden had been financing Iran, apparently hoping the Muslim fanatics running the country would allow this process to go forward. But their sponsors in Moscow had other ideas. Not surprisingly, leaders of Hamas have just arrived in Moscow, planning their next move. The Reuters news agency added, “Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Baghiri Kani was also currently visiting Moscow.” In the final paragraph of the Axios story, the “What to watch” segment, readers are told that “Secretary of State Tony Blinken told a group of American-Jewish leaders on Monday that the State Department had begun working on a post-war strategy for Gaza and the West Bank, two people who attended the meeting told Axios.” Israel’s problems include the “American-Jewish leaders” who do not seem to understand what is really going on. The pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses have alarmed these leaders. Where have they been? I suggest they consult my 2016 book, Marxist Madrassas: The Hostile Takeover of Higher Education in America. For an understanding of Russian designs on the Middle East, I suggest Red Jihad, also published in 2016. If Israel agrees to Biden’s “post-war” plan for the Middle east, it will eventually cease to exist. Fatah refers to Israel as the “Zionist entity.” Its website still claims Israel bombed the Baptist hospital in Gaza. It praises the U.N. for its “emergency session” on the “Zionist Military Campaign of Genocide Against the Palestinian People.” This kind of propaganda is what saturates our colleges and universities. My book explained, “It is significant that the so-called International Solidarity Movement (ISM) has found a base on many college campuses and attempts to delegitimize the democratic State of Israel, a U.S. ally. ISM has sponsored the BDS (boycotts, divestment, and sanctions) economic warfare campaign against Israel. Jewish students tend to be targets in these campaigns and have been threatened and assaulted.” I also noted that the Black Lives Matter movement, blamed for demonizing and encouraging the murder of local police, was also very active on college campuses and had joined the campaign against Israel, declaring the country is guilty of “genocide” and that, through foreign aid to Israel, Americans are made “complicit in the abuses committed by the Israeli government.” My book gave special thanks to my friend, “Jimmy from Brooklyn,” an anti-communist researcher, who came up with the terms “Marxist Madrassas” and “Separation of Marx and State” to describe our predicament and a solution. The roots of the anti-Semitic movement can be found in Russia. The Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion, a Russian forgery used by Nazis and Communists to generate hatred of the Jews and Israel, was cited as true in the charter of Hamas. Communists are organizing the upcoming national march to “Free Palestine” being planned for Washington, D.C. And that means that Moscow is the ultimate source of the problems Israel and America face in the Middle East. Until Israel recognizes this fact, the nation is doomed. If America betrays Israel, America is doomed.
Communists Behind “Free Palestine” Movement
By Cliff Kincaid A “National March on Washington” to “Free Palestine” and “End all U.S. aid to Israel!” is scheduled for November 4 and is sponsored by several openly communist groups, including the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism & Liberation. Other sponsors include:
Of these groups, the New York-based People’s Forum is significant in the communist realm, for it offers a course on Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, more commonly known as Lenin, described in course materials as “ a well-loved revolutionary across countries and movements, whose name embodies the spirit of working-class internationalism.” The instructor is Brian Becker, the National Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition who is also a founder of and a central organizer for the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Becker was once a member of the secretariat of the Workers World Party, an openly Marxist-Leninist party. He switched from one communist group to another during a factional dispute. He supports regimes in Russia and North Korea and was also a main organizer of the March 18 anti-Ukraine march in Washington, D.C. The Congress once investigated communist groups supporting foreign enemies. But that is now considered “McCarthyism” and unacceptable. Instead, former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters are investigated. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who was trained at the United Nations’ International Criminal Court, targets Donald Trump personally. In contrast to YouTube’s censorship of my 500 anti-communist videos, Becker has a YouTube video in honor of the Communist Manifesto, the Mein Kampf of the communist movement. That video shows him speaking on “Red Books Day” to a mostly young audience. As our recent report documents, anti-Semitism arose from the Russian forgery, the Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion, and helps explains hatred of the Jews spread around the world by communists and Nazis and embraced by the “Free Palestine” movement, including Hamas. But it was Lenin who started this process. In our report, “Communists and Muslims: The Hidden Hand of the KGB,” former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky noted, “The communists have considered Islam their ally from the very beginning because in the early 20th century Islam was the religion of the ‘oppressed people,’ of the ‘oppressed nations.’ Support of Islam was considered part of Russian-based anti-colonialism. It is very significant that Vladimir Lenin in 1917addressed his second message to the ‘Muslim toilers of Russia and the Whole World.’ So they considered Muslims a reservoir of people for the world communist revolution.” In my own remarks on the subject, I noted that Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn participated in protests in Egypt in January 2010 on behalf of the “Gaza Freedom March,” to deliver “humanitarian aid” to Hamas-run Gaza. Israel conducted a raid in May 2010 on a flotilla delivering “aid” to Gaza. Endorsers of the Gaza Freedom March included Noam Chomsky, a member of the board of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, a spin-off from the Communist Party; and Howard Zinn, the late “historian” exposed by his FBI file as a secret member of the Communist Party USA. As Joe Biden now pleads for “humanitarian aid” to Hamas-controlled Gaza, history is repeating itself. Israel must not be fooled. The current list of “endorsers” of the November communist-sponsored rally includes:
Of these groups, the National Lawyers Guild, an old Communist Party front, is also significant. Honest liberal law professor Alan M. Dershowitz has commented, “The Guild has never abandoned its Marxist-Leninist provenance. It supports Antifa, which also employs violence to disrupt speakers…” The Guild has more than 100 chapters in American law schools. Its membership includes many law professors. Still another significant organization is Code Pink, which was very close to Barack Hussein Obama. While Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is introducing a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. For “antisemitic activity” and “sympathizing with terrorist organizations,” Greene posed for pictures with members of Code Pink to oppose aid to Ukraine. In other developments regarding the scheduled rally, we find several bizarre groups have been listed, such as “The Queer Notion,” which features “Furiously Licking Sandpaper,” a poem written by punk artist Milo Paul. Another noteworthy group, the Cosmic Omnism Collective, is “a faith-led space for cosmically-inspired divine beings of all paths” who seek cosmic change. But “Palestine” is not the only piece of land to be “liberated.” The organization “Honor the Earth” is listed and opposes Green Colonialism, “from Palestine to Turtle Island,” an Indian name for North America. The group “MD 2 Palestine” makes it clear what is really happening, declaring that “We recognize that we organize on stolen and unceded indigenous Piscataway and Anacostan land.” That is another name for Washington, D.C., and the surrounding area, including parts of Maryland and Virginia. In other words, after the Jews are evicted, the Americans better watch out. The Russians, of course, are already saying that after they take over Ukraine, they want to target Alaska, which they claim was “stolen” from them.
 The Isolation and Destruction of Israel By Cliff Kincaid It was sad, even pathetic, to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu embracing President Biden on his arrival in Israel. But the spectacle reinforces the fact that Israel is at the mercy of the Biden Administration and the U.N. “The plan,” we predicted in the book, Red Jihad: Moscow’s Final Solution for America and Israel, “is for Russia and the United States to force Israel to embrace a United Nations plan for a nuclear-free Middle East. That would mean Israel giving up control of its defensive nuclear weapons to the world body.” Having experienced its own 9/11, Israel now faces a second Holocaust. Surrounded by 22 Arab countries and dependent on American military aid, Israel is now being pressured to do the bidding of the Biden Administration. Even if Hamas is destroyed by Israel in the current conflict, a limited military victory and a goal endorsed by President Biden, the Iran-backed organization will rearm. And that still leaves the Palestinian Authority prepared to pick up the pieces. It is the successor of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), whose chairman, Yasser Arafat, was a Soviet surrogate, and whose current president, Mahmoud Abbas, was trained by the KGB at Patrice Lumumba University. He is due in Moscow soon for talks with Russian President Putin. During a previous meeting with Putin, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Abbas indicated no problems with Russian foreign policy, saying “Russia stands by justice and international law and that is enough for us.” More funding for Ukraine and Israel, without a clear strategy for victory, only delays the inevitable. Perhaps we ought to conclude that Biden does not want Ukraine or Israel to win. After all, he abandoned Afghanistan to the terrorists. He has also abandoned America to the terrorists through the open-borders policy. The next ominous steps in the Middle East were outlined in Red Jihad, as Russia and its client state Iran work to force the Jewish state to abandon its last line of defense, its own nuclear arsenal, in return for “peace” in the Middle East. But as we warned in our book, if pushed to disarm or turn over its nuclear arsenal to the United Nations, or an international body or coalition, the ultimate “Final Solution” may come to Israel. This is the meaning of the Hamas and Russian use of the forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, driving anti-Semitism in the world today. The document alleging a Jewish conspiracy to rule the world was the basis for much of Hitler’s anti-Semitic philosophy as expressed in Mein Kampf and were then adopted by the Soviet bloc’s “disinformation machinery,” as noted by Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking defector from the former Soviet bloc in his book, Looming Disaster. During the Cold War, he explained, the Soviets used an updated version of the Protocols, portraying the U.S. as an “imperial Zionist country” financed by Jewish money, the aim of which was allegedly to transform the rest of the world into a Jewish fiefdom. Such a view has also been adopted by some American “conservatives,” who trash Ukraine and echo the Protocols. Viewed in the historical context, the purpose of Iran developing nuclear weapons, made possible by Russia, has always been to force Israel under United Nations pressure to admit the existence of and then turn over its nuclear arsenal to the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The U.N. has always blamed Israel’s nuclear weapons program for Iran’s desire to have a nuclear weapons program of its own. It has been a communist front since the days when Soviet spy Alger Hiss helped create it. It was the U.N. which voted to brand Israel as a racist entity in the Middle East, on par with colonialism and South African apartheid, while Russian philosopher and “Putin brain” Alexander Dugin regards the Jewish state as a “modern capitalist and Atlantist entity and an ally of American imperialism.” Such rhetoric justifies the destruction of the Jewish state, a goal now within reach as Israel seems to be at the mercy of the Arab/Muslim bloc of nations, especially the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, of which Russia is an observer state. While sounding pro-Israel and anti-Hamas, the Biden Administration has tried to accommodate the Iranian nuclear program, while claiming it was opposed to the anti-Semitic regime developing nuclear weapons. But its envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, had his security clearance suspended amid allegations he was assisting the regime in its influence operations in the U.S. Malley’s father was a pro-Russian communist. For its part, Israel has wisely refused to confirm or deny its own nuclear weapons program. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon once said, “Our policy of ambiguity on nuclear arms has proved its worth and it will continue.” Ukraine, on the other hand, made a serious mistake by sending its nuclear weapons, left over from the Soviet days, back to Moscow, after President Bill Clinton arranged their transfer through the 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum. Without a nuclear deterrent, Ukraine was invaded by Russia in 2014 and then again in 2022. That war in Europe continues as the second front in the Middle East has commenced. Though a nuclear power with a superior conventional force, Israel was not been able to deter the latest attack by Hamas, as members of the “international community,” including the United States, now press Israel to accept a so-called “State of Palestine” on its borders. This is what drives the hatred of the Jews. Hamas incorporates the Protocols in its charter. Such a state would have the ability to openly import weapons and develop its own arsenal, with the assistance of Russia and China. The Palestinians, who are mostly Arab refugees from neighboring Muslim states, are recognized by the U.N. as the official “State of Palestine,” even though Hamas-run Gaza is not a country and the West Bank is ruled by the “Palestinian Authority,” an outgrowth of an old Soviet-created front group, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The “liberation” of Palestine means the destruction of Israel. Netanyahu understands this threat. His domestic enemies do not. Hence, a group called “Jewish Voice for Peace” was instrumental in the pro-Hamas “insurrection” in the U.S. Capitol. Liberal Jews attack Netanyahu while insisting that “peace” with the Arabs and Muslims, despite the influence of the Protocols on their populations, is possible. Former President Trump’s approach was different -- to normalize relations between Israel and the surrounding Arab/Muslim states, while letting Israel handle the Palestinian problem on its own terms. It was a wise course of action that was making peace possible. But on the heels of Biden’s no-win war strategy in Ukraine, a conflict that has continued for more than a year, the October 7 Hamas invasion of Israel undermined the Trump peace agreements known as the Abraham Accords and now gives the globalists in the Biden Administration another opportunity to argue that Israel must “solve” this problem on the terms dictated by the international community. This is the so-called “two-state solution,” a recipe put forward by Democrats and some Republicans for the suicide of the Jewish state. Except for Trump’s different approach, such plans have always been a goal of U.S. foreign policy elites eager to accommodate Russia. Back in 2005, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace called Iranian pursuit of nuclear weapons a “matter of national pride,” suggesting there was no turning back, and that “a verifiable nuclear-weapon-free zone” involving Israel was the only way forward.. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is perhaps best known as the “think tank” once run by former State Department official and Soviet spy Alger Hiss. Today, however, with Israel weak at home and abroad, and Hamas terrorists holding more than 200 hostages, including Americans, the Biden Administration has seized the opportunity to furnish more “humanitarian aid” to Gaza and will organize Arab and Muslim pressure on the Jewish state for a “comprehensive peace” in the region. The excuse will be that the U.S. wants to avoid a “wider war” or a “regional conflict.” The actual result will be a second Holocaust. These are the stakes. Netanyahu must stand firm for the survival of Israel. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc www.usasurvival.org  The Hidden Hand Behind World Events By Cliff Kincaid The “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” was a Russian forgery, employed by Nazis, Communists, and Hamas, to justify the murder of Jews. It is part of the charter of Hamas and is being used to eliminate Jews through a second Holocaust. Moscow, which started World War II through its alliance with Hitler, is the ultimate source of this evil in the world. Even to this day, as documented in our report, “The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine,” this anti-Semitic document drives much of the anti-Israel sentiment in the world. One cannot understand world events without acknowledging the hidden hand of the Soviet KGB in the Muslim movement. It was the subject of a report my group America’s Survival published many years ago and was written by former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky. Alexander Litvinenko, a Russian FSB officer who defected to Britain in 2000, gave details on how various “Muslim” terrorists were in fact communist agents, including al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat. Litvinenko was poisoned to death by Russian intelligence on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Muslims, though massive in numbers, are not capable of organizing the thousands of anti-Israel protests we see around the world. Communists are behind these protests, as evident in the notations on many of the signs, such as “Party for Socialism & Liberation,” an openly communist group. The Democratic Socialists of America is an important organization getting a lot of attention, but it is just one of many communist groups operating openly in the United States, without any monitoring or oversight by the FBI. I covered a March 18 communist rally in Washington, D.C., which was organized against Ukraine. My report identified with photographs such organizations as the Party for Socialism & Liberation, Workers World Party, Communist Party USA, the Democratic Socialists of America, African People’s Socialist Party, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Socialist Unity Party, Spartacist League, Revolutionary Communist Party, and the Party of Communists USA. These groups turn out for Russia and Hamas. They are part of the same network. As for Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu understands the sources of terrorism against Israel. But just like President Trump, who formulated peace terms for the region, the Abraham Accords, Netanyahu has been under attack by left-wingers and communists in his own country. These attacks account for the country’s confusion over the common enemy of Israel and America – the international communist movement centered in Moscow. One might be surprised to discover there is a functioning Communist Party of Israel, now agitating through the United Nations to save Gaza from military obliteration by Israel. But no country can survive which tolerates communist activities that undermine a nation’s ability to defend itself. America must defend itself as well. Hence, supporting America’s allies must be linked to closing our southern border and deporting all illegal aliens and suspected terrorists. Not surprisingly, the Communist Party of Israel is blaming Netanyahu for the “rapid escalation of military confrontation between Hamas and Israeli forces” and regards Netanyahu as the leader of a “fascist right-wing government.” The terms “fascist” and “Nazi” have also been regularly applied to the country of Ukraine, led by a Jewish president. This is communist terminology used to justify the Russian government’s attempts to wipe Ukraine off the map. Many conservatives parrot this communist propaganda and helped make the invasion of Israel by Hamas possible. Playing the role of sidekick to the Russia-Iran-Hamas alliance is China, the subject of a story by Axios headlined, “China picks a side,” as the communist dictatorship comes down squarely in favor of Hamas. The ignorance all around us is breathtaking, especially among those conservatives who thought giving Ukraine to Russia would satisfy Putin. Like these naïve people, Netanyahu apparently thought he could appease Putin by rejecting arms transfers to Ukraine. It’s time to acknowledge the link between the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Russia-backed Iran’s support of the Hamas invasion of Israel. Hamas leaders, who have been meeting with Russian officials on a regular basis in Moscow, were undoubtedly given the go-ahead for the invasion of Israel, serving Moscow in several ways. First, it diverts attention away from Ukraine, Second, an Israeli invasion of Gaza, in response to terrorism, gives the Biden Administration the opportunity to warn of a “wider war,” even though a wider war has already been happening. Incredibly, Blinken has just met with Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the PLO trained at Russia’s Patrice Lumumba University. He runs the other Arab/Muslim section of territory next to Israel, the West Bank, in “competition” with Hamas, which runs Gaza. In fact, Hamas and the PLO seek the destruction of Israel and both operate as clients of Russia, Iran, or both. Moscow wants more cooperation from both movements. To understand this problem historically, we must face up to the fact that the term “Palestinian people” was made up, to justify the destruction of Israel. Arab nations went along, because they did not want these Arab refugees in their own countries. They wanted Israel to either absorb them or allow them to be come a “State of Palestine” next to Israel. As Russian defectors have explained, the communists in Moscow came up with the name, Palestine Liberation Organization, in the same way they devised various “liberation movements” for other parts of the Western world. For example, the American territory of Puerto Rico was also considered “occupied” and subject to “liberation. As a result, the Puerto Rican FALN’s 140 bombings included the January 24, 1975, lunchtime attack on Fraunces Tavern in New York City, which killed four innocent people. Fraunces Tavern is where General Washington bid farewell to his officers after the American victory in the Revolutionary War. In Crimea, a part of Ukraine seized by Russia in 2014, there is a monument urging Russians to take back Alaska as well. Indeed, according to this logic, we must have our entire country “liberated,” since white Europeans have “occupied” it and replaced the indigenous people who owned it. This is the logical consequence of Moscow’s war for the “liberation” of the world. With the world focused largely on Hamas versus Israel, it is important not to lose sight of Ukraine’s struggle for survival. More and better arms are needed for this nation. If Ukraine wins, Russia loses and its clients, including Hamas, lose as well. America and Israel can win this war, but only if they do not lose sight of the common enemy. For this to happen, Netanyahu must ignore the pleadings that are coming from the Biden Administration to protect Iran from retaliation. Iran, which is supplying Moscow with killer drones to use against the people of Ukraine, is the root of Israel’s problem. But the fertilizer was made in Moscow.
 The Cost of Not Supporting Ukraine By Cliff Kincaid The Revolutionary War lasted eight long years (1775-83). Our allies the French were very helpful in the eventual American military victory. America did not reject foreign assistance. In fact, Benjamin Franklin cultivated it. Today, Ukraine, Israel and the Republic of China on Taiwan need our help. Will America respond? But after a year or so of Ukraine’s resistance against a Russian invasion, some were saying that the United States should pull the plug on Ukraine, causing a refugee crisis throughout Europe and America as millions more flee the inevitable Russian advance. The cause of denying Ukraine the right of self-defense has united the communists backing Vladimir Putin of Russia with “conservatives” like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who just posed for pictures with the Marxist women of Code Pink, a group also arguing against U.S. aid to Israel. What is interesting is that Code Pink also serves as a mouthpiece for Hamas, the Iranian-backed terrorist group which has just invaded Israel. Iran, in turn, is backed by Russia, which has hosted Hamas leaders on a regular basis in Moscow. Israel will get the aid it needs and has a sophisticated military. It doesn’t need American troops on the ground. Ukraine is the question mark, even though Iran supplies drones to Russia to kill the Christian people of Ukraine, led by a Jewish President. If House Republicans deny Ukraine the assistance they need, blood will be on their hands. Then, America’s sons and daughters will be called into duty and sent to NATO member Poland, the new front-line state, and the cost in money and blood will be even more significant. It would be politically helpful for China Joe to blame the Republicans for assisting Putin’s brutal invasion. It could be Joe’s ticket to re-election. “Opposition to Ukraine Aid Becomes a Litmus Test for the Right” is the headline over a New York Times article about the coming battle in Congress. There was a time, under President Ronald Reagan, when American conservatives were in favor of aid to anti-communist and other resistance movements and friendly allies. Now, because of the success of Russian propaganda, many conservatives have been confused and misled about the stakes in Ukraine. These people think Putin was somehow provoked into starting a war that has cost 500,000 lives. To set the record straight on Soviet/Russian tactics and strategies, America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) is publishing a detailed analysis of the origins of the Russian-backed propaganda that the government of Ukraine and its military forces are dominated by Nazis. The analysis traces the propaganda to a lie manufactured by Russia’s Tsarist Secret Police and currently used by the former KGB officer and current Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, new versions of the Big Lie have appeared over time, in order to mask the anti-Semitic nature of the Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion. Our report is titled, “The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine.” We all concede that Ukraine is corrupt. So is Russia. So is America. Still, foreign assistance to Ukraine makes sense, if only to stem the flow of refugees fleeing a Russian advance that will inevitably target Poland and other European states. If Ukraine falls to Russia, we will have another refugee and migrant crisis that will spread beyond Europe’s borders. According to the estimates, as of February 2023, more than 271,000 Ukrainian refugees have been admitted to the United States. Those who monitor the problem say, “The devastating war led to Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with over 6 million recorded refugees from Ukraine globally as of July 4, 2023, and over 5 million internally displaced individuals within Ukraine as of May 23, 2023.” A Russian takeover means more refugees, including possibly hundreds of thousands or millions more to the U.S., in addition to the deployment of U.S. troops to Europe to stop a Russian invasion of NATO territory. That would make current spending on Ukraine seem penny ante. What passes for “modern” conservative wisdom from the likes of Stephen K. Bannon, in claiming that defunding Ukraine will somehow “stop” the war, is dangerously absurd. His links to Putin’s geopolitical strategist Alexander Dugin, who mixes communism and fascism together for a new Russian ideology, are alarming and must be examined in detail. We must go back in history to understand current events. When the American revolution was in danger of failing, Benjamin Franklin worked to gain French support for American independence. An official history noted, “His popularity and diplomatic skill -- along with the first American battlefield success at Saratoga -- convinced France to recognize American independence and conclude an alliance with the thirteen states in 1778.” Later, France supplied men and arms. In Mel Gibson’s great movie The Patriot, based on actual events, we see the British were defeated at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, when the French Navy arrives to blockade the British. General Cornwallis admits defeat and surrenders. At this point, America is only supplying arms to Ukraine. They need more and better arms to overcome the Russians and the predicament Biden left them in, after declaring that he might tolerate a minor Russian “incursion” into the country. Before Biden, Barack Hussein Obama and Bill Clinton disarmed Ukraine of its conventional and nuclear arms through such agreements with Russia as the Budapest Memorandum. Israel, by contrast, has a significant nuclear arsenal. It can act against Iran and can also support Ukraine in its war against Russia with offensive weapons. It can and must do so. Conservatives who opposed aid to Ukraine are looking like complete fools as they now scramble to support Israel and retreat from the “Fortress America” concept. In retrospect, it turns out there was a Russian plot but it was not the one Hillary peddled to the FBI so they could go after Trump. Putin's former KGB comrades manipulated some "conservatives" into backing his cause. It is time for the opponents of aid to Ukraine to reverse course, admit the error of their ways, and urge the House under new leadership to pass a budget with higher defense spending, more aid to Israel and Ukraine, and a plan to secure our southern border based on the identification and deportation of all suspected terrorists immediately. It is clearly time to admit the threats are global in scope and return to the Reagan Doctrine.
Russia’s Designs On The Middle East
By Cliff Kincaid (from 2015) Pope Francis has formally recognized a Palestinian state, even though it does not exist. While the media have noted that the Vatican’s curious action has created some controversy, there has been little discussion of whether “Palestinians” actually do exist, where the modern-day concept of a “State of Palestine” came from, and which major power benefits from the creation of a nation under the control of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the Middle East. American-Israeli political commentator and journalist Sha’i ben-Tekoa told Accuracy in Media, “Starting with Chapter 2:1 of the Pope’s own Holy Writ, Christian Scripture refers to Judea 42 times, Samaria 11 times, never to ‘Palestine,’ ‘Palestinians’ or the ‘West Bank.’ The Arabs in Judea and Samaria meet not one of the international legal requirements for statehood.” He is referring to Matthew 2:1, which refers to Jesus being born in Bethlehem in Judea. Many commentators, with little or no access to major U.S. media, argue with justification that the Arabs in Judea and Samaria are squatters, with no legal right to even be there. “Most of the so-called ‘Palestinians’ are in fact interlopers and squatters from Syria—and other places—mostly in the 1920s and 1930s who simply took possession of pieces of land in Israel,” says commentator Rockwell Lazareth. William Mayer, editor and publisher of PipeLineNews.com, says “the so-called Palestinians” are in fact “Arab colonial squatters” who have been used to wage war against Israel. Commenting further on the Vatican’s recognition of a so-called Palestinian state, Ben-Tekoa tells AIM, “This business of recognizing a phantom state for a phantom nation that screws the Jews is an outrage. It is this generation’s version of Jew-hatred. The Pope should lead, not follow the enemies of Israel.” Ben-Tekoa’s book, Phantom Nation: Inventing the ‘Palestinians’ as the Obstacle to Peace, argues that “Palestinians” are an “invented” people whose purpose is to serve as the means through which the destruction of Israel and the Jews will ultimately be achieved. If so, the fingerprints of the old Soviet Union and today’s Russia are all over the plan. In his scholarly paper, “Soviet Russia, Creator of the PLO and Inventor of the Palestinian People,” Wallace Edward Brand documents how the term “Palestinian People” was concocted by the “Soviet disinformation masters” in 1964 when they created the Palestine Liberation Organization, the PLO. Soon, the United Nations adopted the cause. Dr. Harris Schoenberg’s 1989 book, A Mandate for Terror: The United Nations and the PLO, describes how the world body came to endorse and embrace the terrorism campaign of the PLO. The UN General Assembly voted in 2012 to recognize Palestine as a non-member state, giving it the same status as the Vatican. The only countries voting against this initiative were Canada, Czech Republic, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Panama, and the United States. Earlier this year, the International Criminal Court (ICC) accepted “Palestine” as a State Party to the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty. The court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, is currently probing alleged Israeli war crimes during last summer’s war in Gaza with the Hamas terrorist group. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the chairman of the PLO and the Palestinian Authority, who is scheduled to meet with Pope Francis on May 16, is widely considered to be a key Russian asset in the Middle East. Abbas speaks fluent Russian as a result of his KGB training at the KGB’s Patrice Lumumba University, where he wrote a report claiming that there was no Holocaust, and that the Jews who were murdered during World War II were actually killed by Zionists working with the Nazis. It is now called the People’s Friendship University. Former KGB officers and intelligence analysts say that the PLO’s long-time chairman, Yasser Arafat, was an also an agent of the Soviet intelligence service. The links between various Arab and Islamic terrorist groups and the Russians are said to continue. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking defector from the former Soviet bloc, says KGB dissident Alexander Litvinenko, who was living in London, was assassinated by the KGB in 2006 because he spilled the beans on how Soviet intelligence spawned Islamic terrorism and even trained al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Marius Laurinavius, Senior Policy Analyst in the Policy Analysis and Research Division of the Eastern Europe Studies Center, argues in his paper, “Do traces of KGB, FSB and GRU lead to Islamic State?,” that it is impossible to understand the rise of the Islamic state without paying attention to the links between the Russian secret services and Arab/Muslim terrorists, including in the Russian region of Chechnya. Nevertheless, it seems that the PLO has been successful in its campaign, as even the United States government, first under President George W. Bush and now under President Barack Obama, has accepted a so-called “two-state solution” of Israel and a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in 2009 that he was prepared to recognize a “demilitarized” Palestinian state of some kind, subject to security conditions and their recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. However, a document outlining the approach of Netanyahu’s new coalition government did not include any intention of establishing a Palestinian state. The publication Foreign Policy says Obama has decided to review the “diplomatic protection” it has offered Israel in the United Nations against anti-Israel resolutions as a way to pressure the Jewish state, and that “There is a growing movement at the United Nations Security Council to pass a resolution outlining a roadmap for future peace talks.” Such a “roadmap” would force Israel to accept a Russian-influenced Palestinian state. The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has already announced that Russia will back a resolution calling for a Palestinian state. With the Vatican endorsing statehood for Palestine, the Russians, working with Obama, may see their chance to put more pressure on Israel. This will likely work out to the benefit of Russia and its Palestinian agents, not the United States or Israel. In his 1971 book, Red Star Over Bethlehem: Russia Drives for the Middle East, former diplomatic envoy Ira Hirschman argued that the Soviet Union voted in the U.N. to establish the state of Israel in 1947, only to oust “the last vestiges of British power in the land-bridge area linking Europe, Africa, and Asia,” and that its strategic objective has been to make possible the long-awaited dream of Catherine the Great to establish Russian warm-water ports in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.  First Ukraine, Now Israel, and Then America By Cliff Kincaid The invasion of Israel demonstrates the folly of those self-styled “conservatives” who oppose aid to Ukraine. Whether they realize it or not, they are making sure Ukraine gets taken over by many of the same elements invading Israel, all of them backed by Russia. Yet, some of them support Israel while calling for aid to Ukraine to be terminated. This position makes no sense. They have to backtrack quickly. If anyone was “caught off guard,” it was those “conservatives” in the House arguing against aid to Ukraine and are now scrambling to support Israel. What is desperately needed is a review of the pro-Russian elements that have been infiltrating the modern conservative movement. These are the people who have been adamant against aid to Ukraine, a position that only benefits Russia and Iran, headed by a regime providing drones used in the Russian attacks on the Christian people of Ukraine. If you connect the dots in the invasion of Israel, the roads lead to Moscow. Colonel Richard Kemp, a former UK Armed Forces commander, notes, “Hamas leaders, including terrorist boss Ismail Haniyah, have made a number of visits to Moscow since the Ukraine war began, meeting with senior government officials including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. A delegation from their Gaza terrorist bedfellows, Islamic Jihad, led by its chief, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, also visited Moscow in March. Likewise, leaders of another Iranian proxy, Lebanese Hezbollah, have been welcome guests in Moscow. Hezbollah terrorists fought side by side with Russian troops in Syria and have since been involved in helping Moscow evade sanctions and, according to the US Treasury Department, may have received weapons in return.” In other words, having seen Biden’s no-win strategy in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has decided to unleash the Islamic terrorists on Israel. The invasion of Ukraine was made in Moscow, and the invasion of Israel was also planned there. Anybody who disputes this fact doesn’t understand the reality of Soviet/Russian communism and the work of the KGB. To understand what has been planned, I suggest the report, Communists and Muslims: The Hidden Hand of the KGB, by Konstantin Preobrazhensky, a former KGB officer. To set the record straight on Soviet/Russian tactics and strategies, America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) is publishing a detailed analysis of the origins of the Russian-backed propaganda that the government of Ukraine and its military forces are dominated by Nazis. The analysis traces the propaganda to a lie manufactured by Russia’s Tsarist Secret Police and currently used by the former KGB officer and current Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, new versions of the Big Lie have appeared over time, in order to mask the anti-Semitic nature of the Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion. Our report is titled, “The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine.” Anti-Semitism is what unites the opponents of Ukraine and Israel. Conservatives should avoid being tainted by this hateful ideology. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was someone who was supposed to understand all of this. Yet, just last month, in New York, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Jewish president of Ukraine, was forced to plead in person for Netanyahu to provide “more assistance and a more coordinated front against Iranian weapons transfers to Russian forces in Ukraine,” as Time magazine noted. The magazine added, “No Israeli Prime Minister has visited Ukraine’s capital since Russia stepped up its aggression. And while Israel has provided humanitarian aid and defensive warning systems to Ukraine, it has balked at sending lethal, offensive military equipment or its most effective anti-missile technology.” Israel has just seen what appeasement of Russia has wrought. Netanyahu thought Israel would be spared. He was wrong. People ask how it is that the invasion of Israel caught the intelligence agencies of America and Israel by surprise. They have been blinded or infiltrated by the same pro-Russian elements working on all fronts of the information war. As we documented in a recent report, the National Security Agency (NSA) is so derelict in its duty that its museum in Maryland now has an exhibit which hails Soviet spy and Manhattan Project scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer as an American patriot. Equally significant, the Durham report on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation of Trump cites evidence that it was all based on Russian disinformation. Let that fact sink in: the Durham report provides evidence that the Russians originated the idea that Trump was a Russian agent and provided the “disinformation” in the Steele dossier which drove the FBI investigation of former President Trump and his associates. If the NSA and FBI can be misled in such ways, it is no wonder that Israel’s intelligence agencies have been caught off guard. Israeli leaders must now recognize that Ukraine’s fight is their fight. It is our fight, too.
Russia and Iran are the Real Enemies By Cliff Kincaid I spent 40 years as a media critic, most of it with Accuracy in Media (AIM), but I have given up monitoring and reviewing the performance of what passes for the liberal media. These people are mostly paid corporate liars. They are lazy, too. I have turned a lot of my attention to the conservative media, especially Fox News, which provides a stream of constant laughs. I watch it, hoping for some nuggets of real information. But consider the story, “Absence of House speaker could have serious impact on US handling of terror attacks in Israel.” This laughable story by Chad Pergram and Kyle Morris is a continuation of the channel’s Jihad against the eight Republicans in the House who voted to evict Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair. It was totally made up to make a bogus point. Here is how it started out: “The absence of a House speaker amid the crisis in the Middle East, as Israel works to defend itself from an unprecedented attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists, has raised significant concerns among national security circles.” Who are these circles? Later, we learn about concern coming from “one House Republican who asked to remain anonymous.” My bet is that it is a McCarthy backer. The story uses formulations like “Fox is told” and “a source told Fox News.” Here is another paragraph from this phony story: “Fox has also heard from multiple lawmakers and congressional sources warning of potential problems for the U.S. should there be a need to respond to the Middle East situation or another foreign policy crisis.” Eventually, somebody in Britain is quoted as saying there was “chaos” in the House of Representatives. Before that, we are told, “Last week, foreign policy experts told Fox News Digital that the ensuing chaos that came as a result of McCarthy's removal could lead U.S. adversaries to take advantage of the crippling state of Congress on a number of fronts.” This is pure propaganda. A “crippling state of Congress.” Says who? The “crippling state” of American government is in the White House, which conducts foreign policy and whose appeasement policies have produced wars in Europe and now the Middle East. We need to understand that what is really happening is a Russian-inspired war, using Iran and its proxy, Hamas. Instead of going into this, Fox host Griff Jenkins interviewed Rep. Tim Burchett on the air and confronted him with the bogus assertions about how the House was supposedly paralyzed by the lack of a Speaker of the House. Burchett, one of the eight voting against McCarthy, calmly rebutted each claim, noting that the Senate wasn’t in session and that Israel has plenty of U.S. support anyway. “That is not even in the realm of reality,” Burchett said, countering the notion that Congress would somehow need to pass emergency legislation to deal with the Middle East and that the lack of a full-time Speaker was a problem. He said, “You honestly think we’re going to run down to Washington this weekend and pass legislation to take care of something in Israel?” “We’ve already funded Israel,” he said. The issue, Burchett said, was Biden’s $6 billion pay-off to Iran, the sponsor of Hamas. The other issue is that Iran is sponsored by Russia, the same country waging war on Ukraine. Perhaps the Hamas war on Israel will wake up Burchett and his colleagues to the reality of what is happening in Ukraine every day, with constant attacks from Russian weapons and Iranian-made drones. We need to be reminded of some basic facts. On October 23, 1983, Russia-backed Iran ordered and carried out the suicide bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon, killing 241 American military personnel. An Iranian drove the car bomb into the barracks. I attended and covered the 2003 trial in which the detailed evidence of the Iranian role in this bombing was presented in detail. As I reported for AIM at the time, the trial involved a case brought against Iran by attorneys Steven Perles and Thomas Fortune Fay on behalf of the families of the Marines who were killed. Under a U.S. law passed in 1996, victims of terrorism can sue state sponsors of terrorism and collect damages from the assets that the terrorist regime may hold in the U.S. The trial featured a videotaped deposition of a former terrorist insider named “Mahmoud,” who described in detail how Iran ordered the terrorists to attack the U.S. Marines and French troops in Lebanon, and revealed that the driver of the truck carrying the bomb was himself an Iranian. In a videotaped deposition, former CIA officer Robert Baer testified that there was no doubt, based on the best intelligence information, that Iran was behind it. Baer said this bombing, and a previous bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, were “acts of war.” Dr. Reuven Paz of Israel testified via videotape that before the Marine barracks bombing Israel had intercepted a message from the government of Iran to its Ambassador in Syria, calling for military attacks on the foreign forces in Lebanon, including the Americans. Paz, who worked for the Israeli security service known as Shin Bet, said the intercepted message was provided to the CIA. Admiral James Lyons, who was Deputy Chief of Naval Operations at the time, testified that he received a copy of the message, which described the need for a “spectacular action” against the Marines. But he received the message two days after the bombing. Sergeant Steve Russell, who was guarding the embassy on that fateful day, said he had been warned about a possible car bombing of the barracks literally hours before it happened. He warned others, and stayed alert. But, as a “peacekeeper” under restrictive rules of engagement, he carried an unloaded gun and the compound was surrounded only by concertina wire. The car bomber drove through all of this into the barracks. This evidence was accepted by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who found Iran liable for billions of dollars in damages. Instead of making Iran pay, Biden gives $6 billion to Iran. Doesn’t this constitute something more important than dozens of shell companies and payments to his drug-addicted son Hunter? Here is where we need the focus of the media. President Trump had a different approach. He ordered the assassination of Iranian general and top terrorist leader Qassem Suleimani. Suleimani headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds (IRGC) Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization responsible for producing many of our wounded warriors from Middle East conflicts. More than 600 American soldiers died at his direction. Trump killed an anti-American terrorist leader, while Biden pays off the sponsors of that terrorism. Isn’t this impeachable?
