For peace to happen you need to accept the truth
U.S. 1 — China 0. Geopolitics in Ushuaia
I've been twice to Ushuaia, on the very southern tip of Argentina, the "World's Most Southerly City", both times on the way to Antarctica and back.
I've got a soft spot for the city.
You get "the world's most southerly… " all sorts of things: restaurants, aquarium, museum….
And now — under Argentina's new President Javier Miles, the world's most southerly deal, with America to getting one over China. Heh!
International affairs analysts see a foreign policy shift with far-reaching repercussions for the U.S. and China in Argentina's decision this week to buy American-made F-16 fighter jets and its early April announcement to partner with the U.S. military on a naval base at the southern tip of South America.
Argentina's decision to purchase 24 F-16s from Denmark rather than go with a competing bid from China led some Chinese commentators to lament the setback. Beijing has been trying for more than a decade to sell Argentina JF-17 fighter jets China developed with Pakistan. More…

White Democrat shows how open minded he is, to Black Trump supporter

| Above a clip from the video below. Over and over he shows that he doesn’t know basic info, but still hates on Trump |
Israel to Iran: you can run but you can’t hide
And of course we should welcome the humiliation of a Shia Theocracy. That even its own young people despise.
But the United States, under Joe the Weak, throw sand in the gears.
Standing for Israel because I stand for western enlightenment values. For tolerance over theocracy. And blow the students, ignoramuses who don’t know and don’t value the culture we have.
Fwd: Why Do Civilized People Hate Civilization?
I'm with all of these heterodox thinkers.
People who open their eyes and brains to see the truth.
All highly credentialed people. But we respect the mob more, these days…

Black vote is breaking Trump
 |
| Click above for the video |
The reason being that Black Americans have woken to the fact that the Dems have played them. Told them they’re victims that can’t ever make it because of white supremacists. Yet they find they can make it, and can do so without handouts from Dems. Jason Riley even wrote a book about the Dem welfare state: “Liberals: please stop helping us”.
Stephen A. Smith is a long-term Dem. Was on the very leftie ESPN. Super Dem. Hated Trump. Now he sounds off on the Dems. For their hypocrisy. For trying to get rid of Trump before allowing the people to have their say.
He’s part of a growing group of Black podcasters going Trump. The likes of Amala Ekpunobi, Coleman Hughes, Barry Cunningham, Greg Foreman, Glenn Loury, “A Righteous Perspective” (above), Doc Rich, Nate the Lawyer. Even Charlemagne The God, a super leftie podcaster, has hit out at Biden and DEI.
When the Black vote skews this much Republican, the Dems have had it.
Except that they will continue to play super hard ball. They will play every dirty trick in the book to keep Trump off the ballot. We’re seeing that in the current case in New York City, brought by the corrupted Alvin Bragg and his corrupt judge. Of course not the way this is seen on the Left, but is the case for anyone with eyes open to see.
This shift in the Black vote in America is super significant.

Iran is the octopus and we need to strike at the head of the octopus. It is the Islamic Republic of Iran, a theocracy, not popular with the Iranian people, but firmly in power and determined to do one thing: bring Islam to the world. Their version of Islam.
Leaders in the west don’t understand the theocracy nor their aims. Therefore they don’t act to call it out. To name its Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation. As it is. And as it should be extirpated.

Biden to Iran: “Don’t”. (But if you do... no biggie)
Biden to Iran, planning an attack on Israel: “Don’t”.
Iran: attacks Israel with 400+ missiles and drones. Aimed at the civilian population.
Biden: Right. I warned you. Now you face massive retaliation.
Biden to Israel, considering its retaliation: “Don’t".
Israel: Counter attacks Iran.
“Security law has not silenced criticism of government” | Bernard Chan
It’s true.
As long as you don’t call for Hong Kong independence, you’re fine. That call was a redline since 1997, very clearly so.
In Spain, as a bit of Whataboutism, you’re jailed if you demand Basque or Catalonia independence. And has happened.

Inside the disinformation industry - UnHerd
 |
| The nonsense info from the self-styled Global Disinformation Report |
Disinformation about disinformation:
At its heart, the disinformation panic is becoming a textbook example of how a "solution" can do more harm than the problem it is designed to address. Educated campaigners such as Clare Melford may think they are doing the world a service, but in fact they are acting as intensifying agents, lending legitimacy to a conspiratorial world view in which governments and corporations are in cahoots to censor political expression. Unless something is done to stop them, they will continue to sow paranoia and distrust — and hasten us towards an increasingly radicalised and divided society.
Sound reflections from Freddy Sayers.
ADDED: Looking at the chart above, NPR is at the top of “Least dangerous”. When they have just had one of their senior staff, a whistleblower, tell us just how biased they are. They were non-stop on the Russia Collusion hoax, for three years, completely wrong, and not a whisper of apology. They refused to run the Hunter Biden laptop story, when it was true and highly newsworthy. Not to mention some of the others, like The New York Times, even, or the always-biased Huffpost. If you invert the chart, you’ll be better informed. Unless you like to be duped. And some people do.

The Black vote is critical to the Democrats. It’s always been a Black Wall. No longer. It’s crumbling. From near zero, the support for Trump from the Blacks community is around 30%. That gives Dems the heebie-jeebies.
Not to mention the upset of working class Blacks in sanctuary cities like Chicago and New York, being forced out of housing and civic centres, by immigrants. Not a good look. There’s plenty out there.
This is a newly happening thing: Black folks, on YouTube, attacking Democrats.

They know nothing
 |
| Click above for the video |
Some might complain: “but this is cherry-picked”. Well, yes, in the sense that everything is cherry picked, everything is an editorials choice. Thing is, at these pro-Hamas demos, there’s plenty of cherries.
Konstantin Kisin of Triggernometry has walked with the demos as well. And here. So have many others. And they find the same. No-one seems to know anything about what the placards mean that they’re marching with. Ask them what “From the River to the Sea” means, and they don’t know. And we know that that’s widespread ignorance, because you get a group of gaggling girls all looking at each other, cause they don’t know. They all don’t know.
The depth of ignorance among the zillions of protesters worldwide, in London, in New York, in Sydney, in Paris, is just staggering.
This U. S. travel advisory is NONSENSE
Pointing out the advisory is nonsense.
More U.S. psych warfare.

Re Israel -- Iran war, discussion with Glenn Greenwald, not so good, as GG is a down and down Israel hater. And is taken in by the Osama bin Laden “letter”, which blames 9/11 et.seq. on America’s involvement in the middle east. That’s one item, sure, but OBL says, in Raymond Ibrahim’s “The Al Qaeda Reader”, that the reason for attacking the United States is that they are non-believers. That they are “infidels”. IOW, the new-cons were right when they said “we were attacked because of our freedoms”. Our freedom to not believe in Islam. Our freedom to be infidels.
That’s why it’s so important to support Israel. Because they are indeed a beacon of western values and enlightenment. As Sam Harris has said, we are in a war with radical Islam, with Jihadism, even if we don’t know it yet.
Megyn Kelly gets that, and pushes back at GG. Greenwald doesn’t get it.
ADDED: GG gets all upset that Israel attacked and killed senior people in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, because they did it by attacking, he says, an Iranian Embassy in Syria. This is just not done, he says. Because of Diplomatic Immunity. Which he claims has been sacrosanct.
Two points:
1. Iran and Israel don’t recognise each other. That’s because when Iran became the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, it immediately renounced recognition of Israel, claiming that it was all occupied land. Israel then de-recognised Iran. That means that there is no such thing as Diplomatic Immunity. By the way, I know this because I spent a dozen years or more in the Australian Foreign Service. It was one of the things we studied.
2. The targets were senior officers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Including the architect of the October 7 attacks. That made it a legitimate target, no matter the issue of Diplomatic Immunity. In any case, it was not even the Embassy, but a building next door, defined as part of a consulate. Again, not diplomatic if it’s occupied with enemy generals.

The scandal of the Palestinian refugee U.N. body UNRWA
 |
| Click above for the video |
I wrote about UNRWA years ago. There’s a long documented history of corruption and support of Hamas. But it’s widely ignored.
There are links in the video above to what the schools paid for by the United Nations, in Gaza and the West Bank, are teaching. But you can also go to MEMRI and find many more. They’re weird and scary because they simply demonise Jews and it’s all that young Arabs imbibe with their mother’s milk.
There’s no fixing UNRWA. It needs to be disbanded and replaced. But it won’t be, as long as Hamas exists.

“An open letter to the global community” | Hillel Fuld
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
I was going to say how quickly we forget, but it's not "we". Many of us don't forget. Like me, and good ol' Sam Harris.
The "they" are the media, the politicians, the governments, universities, even the Biden administration itself. They “staunchly support” Israel, then two minutes later, they’re sliding.
Progressives and Islamist join hands to suppress women’s rights.

For the Record: Iran attacks Israel direct
 |
| Click above for the video |
Now the discussion is, should Israel retaliate or not? There are arguments both sides. I’m an armchair general, so I know nothing.... [But gut-feel is that there needs to be retaliation. The fact that you’re wearing a bullet-proof vest when someone shoots you, doesn’t mean there should not be consequences for the shooter. Similarly: Israeli success in defending itself is not an argument to let the Islamic Republic of Iran off the hook].
I’d say this: that Iran going ahead and attacking Israel in the first place is showing contempt for Joe Biden, who just yesterday said “don’t”. They know he’s weak and vacillating. They’re reacting to all the appeasement of Obama-Biden. This is the fruit of appeasement.

Sam Harris on Israel
 |
| Click above for the video |
Sam Harris talks to Noem Dworman with clear and correct moral position on the war in Gaza.
Snippets:
“We love death more than infidels love life”. Say the jihadists. And they mean it.
This is the most scrutinised, the most carefully watched war in history. And it’s to Israel’s disadvantage, because there’s such a clear bias. Israel can do nothing right. No matter what they do to minimise civilian deaths.
Simply in the act of defending itself, Israel is viewed as having “committed a war crime”.
Israel is being held to a higher standard that any other country ever has been.
Jihadist must be defeated. For the sake of the civilised world.

The ABC “Australia’s Most Trusted News Source”: full of misinformation about the killing of aid workers in Gaza.
This “Media Watch” is supposed to be the ABC’s top-notch fact-checking program.
Lookie here.
The food convoy was hit by a precision Israeli drone attack on 1 April, killing 7, including one Australian.
Israel immediately apologised and said it would carry out an investigation. It did that by 6 April.
The report here, by the ABC was out on the 9th. Yet nothing reported of what was learned in the report.
The ABC says it’s “inexcusable”. Yes, it was, and Israel did not excuse it. Not even for one minute.
The ABC says the food convoy was clearly marked on the roof. Yes it was. But this was nighttime and they had no night vision, only thermal imaging, which doesn’t reveal the signage.
The ABC fails to mention that the IDF were working together with the World Central Kitchen and had been for months.
They fail to mention that the IDF tried to contact the WCK staff, numerous times by phone, but failed to get through.
They fail to mention that there was a Hamas gunman on the roof of the WCK truck, firing into the air, to draw fire. That the convoy had gone into a warehouse for reasons unknown and come out, half an hour later, with that Hamas gunman on the roof.
None of this mentioned, but Australia’s “Most trusted news source”. Misinformation by Omission.
What is most revolving about this, not just the poor job here, showing how anti-Israel the ABC is, but the fact that the ABC is always lecturing us about how we have to be careful about Misinformation. Yeah, right, ABC, look in the mirror.

"Israel is Australia’s ally. You wouldn’t know it from listening to Albanese or Wong” | Christopher Dore
What hypocrisy to hammer Israel for the accidental death of an Aussie aid worker in Gaza. Israel has apologised and already done an investigation. There is no way in which this is being “excused” by them.
Not to mention: Australia, the US, Britain, every country that has been in a war has been involved in a “friendly fire” incident. Australia even in cases where it has failed to take responsibility. It’s the grossest hypocrisy to attack Israel over it, and demand that Israel accept an Australian investigator.
Penny Wong is a shocker.
Snip:
Penny Wong and her Prime Minister Anthony Albanese now talk about Israel, in language and tone, as if it is our enemy, not our ally.
Wong, our Foreign Affairs Minister, speaks with open hostility, directing scorn at Israel, an inclusive, modern, liberal, democratic state surrounded by apocalyptic religious regimes, under persistent siege from radical murderous Islamic terrorists.
Wong’s distaste for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is palpable, her hatred raw. In this regard, most of her Labor colleagues, and our Government, agree. It’s not about Israel, they will say privately, it’s Netanyahu, a monster, and his right-wing party, Likud. We are not anti-Semitic, we only hate some Jews. Mostly the ones who refuse to surrender to the demands of the righteous Palestinians, and their terrorist army of rapists and hostage-takers, Hamas.
With disdain and deliberate visceral disgust, Wong, from the comfort and safety of her office in the Adelaide CBD, spits out orders to Israel, in the grip of yet another lonely existential war they didn’t ask for: “We say to Mr Netanyahu, you must change course.” More...
There’s another Alabanese: Francesca Albanese, a long-time Israel-hater, employed by the U.N., natch, to write a report on Israel, which concluded, natch, that Israel has carried out “Genocide”. And then posted on X, without a shred of evidence, that the accidental killing of aid workers, was done deliberately by Israel. So many Israel haters. No matter what it does, it will never satisfy the likes of these Albaneses, or Wongs, or others in the Hamas-luvvie community. A depressingly large group.
