You Don't Have to Go Far: Vintage White US-born American Barbarity in Arkansas

 You don't need to be a dark-skinned immigrant to fit the racist stereoptype that Donald Dumb and JD Vance promote. White drunk inbred morons from the backward state of Arkansas will do just fine.

Arkansas couple allegedly tried to sell baby for $1K and beer because caring for 1 baby and 3 dogs 'was not working'

Sat, September 28, 2024

A white US-born Arkansas couple was arrested after trying to sell their two-month-old baby to a man at a campground for $1,000 and a six-pack of beer. It must be their Evangelical Christian upbringing that made them do that: They heard the call of Jesus himself.

Shalene Ehlers

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daniel Urban
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Darien Urban, 21, and Shalene Ehlers, 20, face felony charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and attempting to accept compensation for relinquishment of a minor.

The Benton County Sheriff's Office said it received a call on Sept. 21 from the manager of the Hide Away Campground reporting that the couple "tried to give up the baby for a 6-pack of beer and then wanted $1,000 for the baby," according to an affidavit.

The pair signed a letter granting custody of their child before handing the boy over to someone else, and in their highly performative knowledge of the law, they even included a disclaimer that the child could not be returned.

"I, Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers are signing our rights over to Cody Nathaniel Martin of our baby boy [name withheld] for $1,000 on 09/21/2024," the letter reads. "Disclaimer: After signing this there will be no changing yall two's minds and to never contact again." Their fine and exquisite knowledge of the English language as it evolves from the swamps of England to the promised land of America is astounding.

Multiple witnesses corroborated the attempted adoption, according to the affidavit.

The child was found in need of medical attention when a deputy arrived at the scene. The deputy called emergency medical services to transport the baby to a hospital for evaluation for signs of neglect. The child is in the care of the Arkansas Department of Human Services which Donald Dumb and his Republicans want abolished because it destroys America's fine white families like that of Ehlers and Urban.

A witness said she discovered a strong ammonia and fecal odor coming from the baby, who had a dirty diaper. The witness changed the baby's diaper and noticed severe diaper rash, blisters and swelling, which she took pictures of to document the injuries.

A deputy also reportedly obtained cellphone video of Urban and Ehlers signing the contract with the man attempting to purchase their baby, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit stated that Ehlers, the mother of the baby, declared that "it was not working having three dogs and a baby." So selling one baby (lots of care) and keeping three dogs (barekuy any care) seemed like a very logical proposition. Those people of Arkansas are geniuses, even when they are wasted by alcohol. They probably represent the best of white America that will vote for Donald Dumb in November, rejecting the strong family values that migrants bring to the this country.

Now I wonder what JD Vance, the defender of white women who make children and demonizer of white women who are childless and have cats, thinks of Ehlers. She started out as a child-wanting woman, got pregnant and delivered a future republican voter, but that lasted only 2 months when her American Christian family of one white female drunkard, another white male drunkard, three dogs (race unknown) and a white male baby was trimmed down to the two white idiots from Arakansas and their three dogs. From a JD Vance exemplary model of white republican motherhood, Elhers has become a model of Kamala Harris-like childless woman.

Witnesses reported that a resident of the campground, Ricky Crawford, had earlier visited Urban and Ehlers and offered to take the baby for the night in exchange for several cans of beer, according to court documents.

This was after Ehler allegedly approached another couple's camper and asked them for beer, as she often does. But when the couple declined, Crawford offered beer in exchange for keeping the baby overnight.

Crawford, whose concern for the child was apparently not diminished by his being heavily intoxicated during his interview with a deputy, said he was concerned about the baby's well-being and wanted to take the child out of Urban's and Ehler's care for the night, an offer they agreed to.

"He asked if he could have the baby overnight and provided Urban and Ehlers with several cans of beer in exchange," the affidavit reads. "Urban and Ehlers agreed and gave the baby along with a diaper bag to Crawford. He then brought the baby to Martin at another camper at the campground. Ehlers and Urban then came to the same camper and spoke to Martin and Crawford before signing the letter."

"Based on the totality of the investigation, it is believed both Urban and Ehler created a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury by abandoning their minor child initially with an obviously intoxicated male and ultimately with someone they did not know," the affidavit reads.

Martin told deputies he had drawn up the contract and while no money had been exchanged yet, he planned to bring the couple a $1,000 check on Sept. 23.

Multiple witnesses corroborated the attempted adoption.

"They stated they offered to surrender the baby to Martin in exchange for $1,000 in cash," it added. "They stated Martin created an agreement that they videotaped to ensure it was legal and they planned to 'legalize' it on Monday. They both stated they then left on the understanding the baby was given to Martin in exchange for $1,000 to be collected on Monday."

Urban was released on a $50,000 bond while Ehlers remains in custody in the Benton County Jail on a $30,000 bail.

Last year, Urban created a GoFundMe in which he said he and Ehlers were struggling financially after the birth of their first child.

Lebanon's Christians Help their 'Enemies' in Hope for a Better Future

For the second time in 20 years, those whom the deceased silverback of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, called "vile bastards", "Zionist agents", "US embassy-paid traitors".... are now providing food, shelter and medical assistance to his Shiite crowds who used to fill stadiums to chant and cheer him as he spewed virulent hatred against the Christians of Lebanon.

TV channels which, day in and day out, criticized Hezbollah and Nasrallah are now in mourning, showing footage after footage of the silverback against a background of sad music. After daring for years to use the name "Israel" when talking about the colony south of the border, they now constantly use "the enemy" (العدو) or the "Zionist entity" (الكيان الصهيوني) in compliance with Hezbollah's and its allies' diktat.

Those who had to fight Hezbollah's incursions into Christian neighborhoods and threats in places like Tayouneh and Ayn Remmaneh are now those who are opening their schools and community centers to their displaced Shiite 'enemies'.

Why? Because Lebanon is the only country on earth where Christians and Muslims have historically chosen the path of painstaking but worthy "accommodation" rather than the path of easy but brutal "exclusion" eloquently practiced by the Muslims and Jews of Palestine-Israel.

For one, decency and civility dictate that they do not kick the Shiites when they are down.

Two, they fear that, not showing unity and friendship, albeit fake, at a time of utter defeat for the Shiites, might be interpreted as further treason and sympathy with the "enemy" down south, and hence a potential pretext for civil unrest and war. Zionists go to bed at night dreaming of a civil war between Christians and Shiites in Lebanon. But unlike in the Palestinian-Lebanese war of the 1970s, the Christians now are unarmed and have no militias, and constantly demand the protection of the State and the legitimate Lebanese Armed Forced against assassinations, incursions and threats by Hezbollah. They have no desire to start another internecine conflict.

Third, while probably cheering secretly at the decapitation of Hezbollah, the Christians of Lebanon do not want by the same token to encourage and expresss gratitude to Israel. They were tested by the Israeli invasion of 1982 when the Israelis "liberated" Lebanon from Yasser Arafat's PLO only to demand subservience to Israel in return, turn Christian against Druze in the Shouf district, then occupy a buffer zone along the border which they gracefully negotiated with Iran and handed back to Hezbollah when they withdrew in 2000. The Israelis could have instead handed the area back to the Lebanese state and army and the United Nations force (UNIFIL), and thus solve the problem for good. 

Instead, the Israelis expected that the election of President Bashir Gemayel in the aftermath of their invasion would turn Lebanon into a vassal or sattelite state of Israel. But no sooner than his first speech in which he invited the Muslims to join him in rebuilding a Lebanon free from both Syria and Israel, Gemayel was killed in a bomb explosion that seemingly was Syrian-planned but that many interpreted as Israel's retaliation for Gemayel's "ingratitude". Who knows? Maybe Syria and Israel invested together in preventing Lebanon from exiting their bloody murderous circus. They were the main foreign occupiers of the country at the time, and to this day they benefit from keeping Lebanon a crucible for their violence while maintaing peace and quiet on their own borders.

It is very difficult for the Christian Lebanese minority to navigate these distressing and uncertain times. Lebanon's Christians hate both Arabs and Israelis. When, in their heyday of the 1940s-1960s, they had built Lebanon into a jewel of a small country with prosperity, democracy, openness to the world and liberalism, both Israel and the Arabs began tormenting Lebanon which did not fit into the drab Jewish ultra-religious totalitarianism of an oxymoronic "Jewish-only democracy", nor did it fit the ultra-religious "Muslim-only" Arab monarchies, fake republics and dictatorships around.

Though they retain some residual moral and political power and are considered to represent the last free Christian community across the entire East, Lebanon's Christians have seen what befell the other Christian communities in Iraq, Israel and Syria (decimated and vanished) or those who still reel like an enslaved community of dhimmis (tolerated and intolerated) in places like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.

No one knows what they'll do this time if Israel escalates its savagery and pilfers Lebanon's resources like it did in 1982 under the guise of the same "self-defense" pretext, or if the incompetent Muslims decide to seek revenge against the Jews by bashing the other non-Muslim aliens (after the Jews) on the Muslim scale of alterity, the Christians. 

The Christians keep appealing to the UN and the international community to intervene with strong, forceful and enforceable diplomacy, to establish investigation bodies into atrocities committed by both Jews (war crimes, assassinations, occupation) and Muslims (Beirut harbor explosion, assassinations, sinister terrorist alliances with Stalinist Syria theocratic Iran). They have proposed official, internationally-recognized neutrality as a pillar of the ethos of the Lebanese State, a neutrality that already exists informally by virtue of the National Pact of 1943 to which both Christians and Muslims subscribed and which states that Lebanon is neither Arab (Muslims) nor Western (Christians), and will not get involved or take sides in regional wars. 

Unfortunately the slide down the 50-year long abyss was the making of fanatic Muslim Arab nationalists who espoused every Arab and Muslim cause at the expense of a neutral, small and vulnerable Lebanon. It was also the making of fanatic foreign Jewish colonial settlers, a.k.a. Israelis, who sent hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees (1948, 1967, 1973) into Lebanon, refused to comply with several UN resolutions requiring them to allow back the refugees to their native land of Palestine, and used the legitimate desire of these refugees to fight back as a pretext to launch murderous campaigns to eliminate these Palestinians on Lebanese soil.

So the Christians of Lebanon are walking a fine line between maintaining good relations with their Muslim countrymen while at the same time refusing to cede more of Lebanon's sovereignty to those Muslims who keep losing Quixotic testosterone-driven wars and taking Lebanon down with them. 

They pretend to regret Nasrallah's death in the hope of inciting more reason into the religiously-blinded minds of the Muslims. They pretend to hate Israel when in fact they are at best indifferent about all the vicious lies and totalitarian religious ambitions of both Muslims and Jews, Palestinians and Israelis, Zionists and Arabs alike. They pretend to support the Palestinian cause when in fact they are at best indifferent and are pretty much satisfied now that the Palestinians are finally fighting their wars of liberation on their own soil, and not in Lebanon as they did in the 1970s.

Lebanon used to be called, absolutely inaccurately, the Switzerland of the Near East. While very far from the substance of that analogy, Lebanon was at least on its way to achieving something that has yet to exist in the entire East: Diversity with democracy, individual liberties within a sectarian system. Now that it is on the ground, demoralized and in a coma, the only hope that the country has going forward is for the international community to intervene to put some substance into the analogy above. In its DNA, Lebanon embodies all that the international community has strived for since WWII: Tolerance, peaceful coexistence, human rights, etc. Why has the world abandoned it to Muslim and Jewish religious fanaticism?

Lebanon is a tiny country; alone it cannot face the virulent hostility of its neighbors and survive; and it is small enough to be amenable to pacification. Just as it did for other small countries - East Timor, Kuwait, Bosnia, Kosovo...- the international community is required to inject some testosterone into its many many otherwise useless resolutions, and intervene with boots on the ground to preserve this dying model of tolerance at a time of heightened religious and nationalist intolerance.

Netanyahu's Real Objective in Lebanon

Forget Hezbollah and Nasrallah. 

Forget the foreign settlers of northern Israel and their returning to their colonies in Palestine.

Forget the self-defense argument.

Ignore all the lies and pretexts that fanatic Zionists have peddled for years.

The objective of Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir and the other skull-capped barbarians with biblical trash Bronze Age ideas is:

Expel all 2.5 million Palestinians from Gaza. Filthy Egypt has already planned a settlement for them in the Sinai. Annex Gaza.

Expel the 3 million Palestinians from the West Bank into Jordan and Syria. Annex the West Bank and create the From-the-River-to-the-Sea Greater Israel colonial monstrosity. Like Eugene Terre-Blanche of the Fascists of South Africa, they want a land void of any subhuman goyims.

The Golan Heights have already been annexed with the blessing of the Syrian Asssad regime that has never dared mount a "resistance" to retrieve the territory.

The only biblical territory not yet seized by the Zionist fanatics is South Lebanon which they consider part of Upper Galilee.

Just like they promoted Hamas to first divide and weaken the Palestinians, then use Hamas as a pretext to gobble up Gaza, they have long indirectly promoted Hezbollah in Lebanon to use it as a pretext to one day annex the Lebanese south. And that day has now come. 

Israel has had several opportunities to pacify the south of Lebanon by handing it to the Lebanese state and the UN after it ended its occupation of that territory in 2000. Instead, it denied the recovery of that territory by the Lebanese state and its armed forces, backed by the UN force, and instead made a secret deal with Iran, to hand it over to Hezbollah, Iran's client. For Israel, this maintained the pretext for a future war and annexation of the south, and it granted Hezbollah a longer shelf life.

But now the deal is bearing fruit: Hezbollah is the pretext for an Israeli invasion of the Lebanese south which this time will include, unlike in past invasions, the permanent annexation of the south with its two major cities of Tyre and Sidon, the pride of deeply-rooted Lebanese Phoenician identity. 

It was those Phoenicians of King Hiram of Tyre who used their own magnificient Melkart Temple as a blueprint to build the first Jersualem temple for David and Solomon's nomadic goat-stinking Hebrews who had heretofore kept their filthy Ark of the Covenant in a tent because they did not know how to use wood and stone to construct anything. Stones from the quarries of Lebanon and cedar woods from the forests of Lebanon were ferried to the land of Canaan that had just been butchered and ethnically cleansed (yes, today's rape of Palestine is not the Zionists' first time) by the war criminal Joshua, supposedly under orders from Yahweh, to kill every Canaanite man, woman, child and animal, in his conquest of the promised land.

How can people in the 21st century continue to believe this crap from 3,000 years ago? and worse, to use it to carry out barbaric wars against innocent indigenous populations?

Europeans, Arab and Muslim nations launch a new initiative for an independent Palestinian state

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — European, Arab and Islamic nations have launched an initiative to strengthen support for a Palestinian state and its institutions, and prepare for a future after the war in Gaza and escalating conflict in Lebanon, Norway’s foreign minister said Friday.

Espen Barth Eide told The Associated Press that “there is a growing consensus in the international community from Western countries, from Arab countries, from the Global South, that we need to establish a Palestinian Authority, a Palestinian government, a Palestinian state — and the Palestinian state has to be recognized.”

Eide said many issues need to be addressed, including the security interests of Israel and the Palestinians, recognition and normalization of relations after decades of conflict and the demobilization of Hamas as a military group.

“These are pieces of a bigger puzzle,” Norway’s chief diplomat said. “And you can’t just come in there with one of these pieces, because it only works if all the pieces are laid in place.”

But even if the puzzle is completed, it's unlikely to gain traction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Still, Eide believes that after decades of failed or stalled negotiations, “we need to take a new approach” to achieving an independent Palestinian state.

To accelerate work on these issues, Eide said almost 90 countries attended a meeting Thursday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly’s current gathering of world leaders. He and Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister co-chaired the session to launch “The Global Alliance for the Implementation of a Palestinian State and a Two-State Solution.”

“We have to see how we can come out of this deadlock and try to use this deep crisis also as an opportunity to move forward,” Eide told a U.N. Security Council meeting on Gaza later Friday.

Norway is the guarantor of the 1993 Oslo Accords, hailed as a breakthrough in the decades-long conflict between Arabs and Jews, which created the Palestinian Authority and set up self-rule areas in the Palestinian Authority. Eide said more than 30 years later, Israel’s “occupation” is continuing, and there are no negotiations leading to a final settlement and an independent Palestinian state — which led to Norway’s decision in May to recognize a Palestinian state.

Now, 149 of the U.N.’s 193 member nations have recognized a Palestinian state. Eide urged all countries “to contribute to universal recognition” and strengthen Palestinian institutions so they live up to the expectations of people in the West Bank and are prepared to return to Gaza: “We want one Palestine, not different Palestines,” he said.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud told the U.N. Security Council on Friday that his country, the joint Islamic-Arab ministerial committee, Norway and the European Union launched the alliance “because we feel responsible to act to change the reality of the conflict without delay.”

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell urged all countries to take practical measures “to bring about the free Palestine next to a secure Israel.”

Borrell said on X that the first meetings of the alliance would be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Brussels.

Borrell asked rhetorically of anyone who opposes a two-state solution: What is the solution, and can it be implemented? He stressed that work on this initiative will move ahead quickly. [Borrell knows but dares not say that those who oppose a two-state solution are the barbarian ultra-religious terrorist Zionists in power today in the Zionist colony in Palestine]

Eide said this new effort is built on the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, “but updated to today’s reality.”

The 2002 initiative, endorsed by the Arab League and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation, offered Israel normalized relations in exchange for a full withdrawal from territories captured in 1967.

He said efforts started long ago to build the institutions of a Palestinian state.

“It’s difficult,” Eide said. “Their hands are tied in many ways. We’re seeing an increasing amount of illegal settlements and settle violence.”

“But still, there is an embryonic institution there that we have to strengthen,” he said.

Eide said he chaired a meeting Thursday of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee for the Building of Palestinian Institutions, with the United States, Canada, the EU and many Mideast and European countries contributing.

“None of these tools will solve the problem on their own, and we never pretended that, but we’re trying to build a body of instruments that will take us forward to a peaceful settlement,” Eide said. “And I am convinced it will happen here.”

Is Hassan Nasrallah Dead? (Update: Yes)

No official confirmation yet by Hezbollah of the wherabouts of its silverback, Hassan Nasrallah, but the longer it takes the Iranian militia in Lebanon to issue a statement on whether he survived yesterday's attack or has been killed, the more the likelihood that he was indeed killed. 

If true, sweet revenge for the American Marines whom dumb idiot Ronald Reagan sent to Beirut in 1983 to be blown up by Hezbollah, after which he fled like the coward that he is before Syria and Iran. If Reagan had stayed the course and supported Lebanon's Christians when Hezbollah was only one-year old, we'd have none of the savagery we are witnessing today. But so are the republican imbecile presidents: They start wars and have no idea how to end them other than losing them.

Either Hezbollah is terrified at announcing the news to its black-clad Shiite herd or it is still looking under the rubble to find him or what's left of him.

Not that I like to feel gleeful at a crime committed by the barbarian Zionists (fanatic Jews) against another barbarian (fanatic Muslim), but whether he survives or not is no longer a factor. With his metaphorical testicles now truncated, his people fleeing on the roads to be sheltered and fed by their domestic enemies, the Christians of Lebanon, and his Iranian breastfeeding mother all dried up, we will savor the blessings of no longer listening to his usual screaches on television with his index finger pointing up and hurling threats and insults at anyone who doesn't agree with him.

This marks yet another milestone in the 50-year long torment of Lebanon. When Arafat was evacuated form Beirut in 1982, we felt that a new dawn of peace and stability will rise on Lebanon. But the country's supposed western friends found it more convenient to kiss Arab behinds for oil than to help the country stand back on its feet. 

Then there were the milestones of 1983 when the May 1983 Accord was negotiated between Lebanon and Israel only to be scuttled by the Americans themselves who instructed President Amin Gemayel not to sign it because the Syrians will kill him like they killed his brother Bashir a year earlier.

Then the milestone of 1989, when the infamous Taef Agreement was shoved down the throat of the Lebanese parliament in which the domestic proxies of Saudi Arabia, backed by Syria, Israel and the US, were given the reins of power and the Syrian army took control of the entire country. Since then, the Christians who had lifted Lebanon to its zenith have been sidelined, and the Sunnis ravaged the country with their corruption and political filth by running the country down into a third-world misery, all the while promoting Hezbollah as a "resistance" movement and using its weapons to pummel the Christians into submission.

And now all the people who promoted this state of affairs - from the US to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Gulf Emirates and Israel - are applauding behind closed doors the possible decapitation of Hezbollah. But did the anomaly of Hezbollah have to wait 30 years, after the 20-year long anomaly of the PLO? Other than occasional complaints, no one took any serious step to implement all the pending UNSC resolutions on the Lebanese south that has been abandoned to the Palestinians, Israelis, Syrians and Iranians.

Hezbollah is probably finished. The determination of Israel seems beyond any reason, and the slaughter will continue for some time as it has in Gaza. Some elements of Hezbollah will regroup, perhaps even in Syria next door, but the carnage will follow them. The question is what next?

In Lebanon, everyone is exhausted from 50 years of mayhem and destruction and shattered lives. The danger in moments like this, however, is that despair makes people make reckless decisions. This the Lebanese did several times after each eruption of violence: Cairo Accord 1969, Melkart Accord 1973, UNSC 425 1978, May 1983 Accord, Taef Agreement 1989, UNSC 1701 in 2006, Doha Accord 2008...None has achieved peace for small vulnerable Lebanon.

But this time, when the dust settles, Lebanon should not fall for any US-borkered backstabbing "compromise", with which the powerful but dumb Americans are particularly enamored. Look at the Dayton Accords: They stopped the fighting in the Balkans but have not established a foundation for a permanent solution.

Anything short of reaffirming the constitutional powers of a free and independent Lebanese state is another recipe for disaster a decade down the line. No regional or international "cause" should take precedence over the interests of the state. The Lebanese president should reassume his/her full authority to appoint prime ministers and dissolve parliaments. The Lebanese army should redeploy along ALL of Lebanon's borders, those with Israel as well as those with Syria. Syria remains, alongside Israel, Lebanon's enemy number one, and its fake 2.5 million "refugees" now running amok inside Lebanon should be immediately returned back to Syria. Hezbollah's remnants should be integrated into the army and police forces, which should be given full authority to search, detain and punish any recalcitrance to the laws. A Truth and Reconciliation commission should be established. The list is too long to include here for all the things that are needed to start rebuilding from scratch.

Otherwise, if no such path - based on the rule of law and free from shady bazaar deals with Arabs and Zionists - is built into the reconstruction of Lebanon, then the country must be dissolved, partitioned and sold to Arabs and Zionists.

Why is Tiny Lebanon Treated Differently?

A small country like Lebanon cannot be solely responsible for the agony it has been going through for the past 50 years. Prior to 1970, it was a successful, prosperous and vibrant democracy. It could not by itself decide to self-implode as it has done since, unless others intervened. 

The success of the country between 1920 and 1970 was essentially on account of its undeclared but subsumed neutrality, the decision of its constituent communities not to take sides in international and regional conflicts. Its constitution and its non-written National Pact stipulated that Lebanon is a bridge between East and West, between Christianity and Islam, between the Arab world and Europe, and that is what made it a successful democracy with fair elections, a representative assembly and peaceful transfers of power. It deliberately chose to have a "salon" type of army more for decorum than for waging wars.

When the Lebanese complain about outsiders beginning to intervene and challenge those tenets that made their country prosperous and stable, they are immediately shut down for not assuming their own share of the responsibility for the downfall of the country. They are accused by ignorant people of being an artificial country based on sectarian and religious chasms that can never be overcome. But the Lebanese proved for five decades that the country could function and succeed as a multicultural, multi-religious republic. The country had in fact been functioning successfully since 1860 when it obtained its autonomy from the occuying Turkish Ottoman empire, just like Greece and Egypt did at the time.

But the Turks re-invaded in 1914 and ravaged the country with famine (confiscating everything from the population), war (forced conscription) and repression (both Christian and Muslim leaders were hanged by the Turkish occupation in downtown Beirut). Was that the fault of the Lebanese?

After 1918, the country began rebuilding itself with new institutions under the guidance of the internationally-approved French Mandate. Unlike in Palestine where the crooks of the British mandate sold the country to the Zionists instead of helping the Palestinians build their own new institutions after the war, the French in Lebanon helped the Lebanese write a constitution that was based on power-sharing and accommodation between Christians and Muslims, rather than sowing bloody sectarian division as the British were doing in Palestine between imported Jews and indigenous Muslims and Christians.

And accommodation and power-sharing worked in Lebanon. The country became the envy of all the religious barbarians around it, be it the fanatic Jewish Zionists in Israel or the radical Muslim Arabs in every other Arab dictatorship and monarchy. 

By the 1950s, Nasser of Egypt decided to wreck the Lebanese success story by trying to force it into a stupid short-lived union between Egypt and Syria. 

By the early 1960s, the Syrians who had been ricocheting from annual one coup d'etat to another tried a failed coup in Lebanon. 

By the mid-1960s, the Palestinian refugees whom Israel and Jordan had so gracefully displaced to Lebanon dealt another blow to Lebanon with their challenge to the state and its army. 

By 1970, the barbarian Stalinist regime of the Assad dynasty took power in Damascus next door, followed by the war that Yasser Arafat and his PLO waged against the Lebanese state with the backing of the illustrous oil-drenched Muslim Saudis, Kuwaitis, Libyans and every other Arab asshole around. The jaundiced westerners, thirsty for oil, did not challenge the Arab assault on Lebanon.

The Eden that Lebanon once was was dragged into the living hell it became ever since.

Then the Jewish Zionist brutes decided to join the orgy and invaded the country (1978 then in 1982), and when they withdrew (2000) they, along with their American godfather, handed the country to Iran and its bastard child Hezbollah. 

In 1982, Ronald Reagan had sent the Marines to Beirut to secure the withdrawl of Arafat and help the Lebanese government regain its sovereignty. But the newly born Iranian theobarbarity in Tehran decided it was its turn to join the slaughter: Its Hezbollah militia bombed the Marines  and killed 241 of them. Instead of fighting back, Reagan fled like a coward because he was selling Israeli weapons to the Iranians in secret. Again in 1988, George H W Bush sold Lebanon to Syria in exchange for the hostages that Syria had ordered Hezbollah to kidnap. 

How many times should we be telling this story to prove that Lebanon's ailments are not of its own doing? For 50 years, it had proven the success of its peaceful coexistence formula that the hatred of some (Arabs and Jews) or the indifference of others (Westerners) wanted destroyed.

Today in 2024, Lebanon continues to agonize because of Israel, Iran, Syria, the US and every other belligerent monster out there "with interests". Lebanon is a very small country made up of one long and high mountain chain. It is not made for wars, nor has it ever invaded other countries.

Yet, intellectual criminals or ignoramuses will continue to tell you that Lebanon's problems are of its own doing, despite the long list above of outside belligerent fanatic countries that participated in the slaughter with either their hatred or their indifference. Lebanon's diversity and small size make it vulnerable and weak, and only hostile countries "with interests" exploit this weakness. Are there any decent countries left out there with no interests that can help? 

Haven't major countries formed coalitions and gone to war to help tiny Kuwait against Saddam Hussein, or help tiny Christian East Timor against huge Muslim Indonesia, or help tiny Muslim Bosnia and Kosovo against Christian Serbia? 

Why is tiny Lebanon treated differently?

White Racists of America are Terrified: They are Losing the Demographics War

They came from crooked England. They killed the native Indians. They neded free labor so they brought slaves from Africa to work on the cotton plantations. When slavery was abolished, they brought Irishmen whose land they had raped. Then they brought Italians, Germans, East Europeans and Chinese to build up the industrial base and work on the railroad. When the railroad was done, they banned Chinese immigration (The Chinese Exclusion Act). Then they needed scientists (because they themselves are largley dumb and stupid), so they started bringing in Indians and Pakistanis....

All of this racist construction of the country was portrayed with orgasmic self-delusion of liberty, democracy, manifest destiny.... all bullshit slogans they used to sell their garbage to the rest of the world. America was so hallowed, they said, that only those born on its soil, could claim to be proper American citizens.wt

But now that they are an endangered species that is overrun by all the people they brought in to work and build the country while they themselves sat on their lazy white bums, America is no longer hallowed. They now say, like this dumb imbecile below from South Carolina, that even if you're born in America you cannot be an American citizen. They behave as if this country of immigrants is no longer a country of immigrants, but a country of entitled white racist idiots. They know they are losing the demographic battle and in their despair they are taking the country down a path of civil war, a second civil war after the one they fought and lost in 1860.

Graham's press conference on ending birthright citizenship
The Hill Staff
Wed, September 25, 2024


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is slated to give remarks on what could be a major change to longstanding American immigration policy.

Graham has for years advocated ending the principle of birthright citizenship, the standard that any person born on U.S. soil is considered an American citizen.

Former President Trump strongly supported such a change while in office — and has vowed the take the step if reelected in November. Opponents at the time considered their position to be an unconstitutional ploy based on anti-immigrant populism.

The issue was also popular on the campaign trail, with former GOP candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis both pledging to end the policy.

Graham is slated to speak at 1:30 p.m. EDT.

Congratulations to Bisan Owda. F - - - You Zionist Terrorists

The US and its poodles one day decide that the PFLP is a terrorist organization. That by itself does not make it an absolute fact. It is a relative fact because:

- the US and its poodles are biased for Israel and against Palestine. 

- The actions of the PFLP that are used to list it as a terrorist organization have also been perpetrated by foreign invading Zionists against the native indigenous Palestinian population since the 1920s and 1940s, climaxing into the largest ethnic cleansing of an indigenous population by a foreign colonial invader of the 20th century in 1948. Those acts are still being perpetrated at this very moment.

- Objectively, therefore, the US and its poodles should list the Zionist movement as a terrorist organization. Ever since the foreign invasion of Palestine began, European Zionist settlers have been terrorizing the indigenous Palestinians, killing, raping, erasing entire villages, deporting, displacing millions of people, stealing land... All of these are acts of terrorism.

The Creative Community for Peace organization is a fake seeker of peace. Its members know that they are playing the hypocritical role of the "good Zionist cop" to cover up the crimes of the "bad Zionist cops". All Israeli organizations claiming to work for peace play this insidious role of covering up for the genocidal colonial state they represent. It is not surprising that they'd be offended that a Palestinian like Owda is nominated for the Emmy, pretexting that she is a member of the PFLP.  So what if she is a memmber of the PFLP? They used to label Arafat and the PLO as "terrorists", then they signed a peace treaty with them. Zionist duplicity and lies no longer work as they used to. The world is watching as we write these lines and finally realizing who the real terrorist is.

Is it really a crime to honor Palestinians who were injured or killed in violent confrontations with Israeli settlers? Who is the victim here? Who is the criminal?

And despite their pathetic protests at anything that promotes a Palestinian idendity, Television Academy told the Creative Community for Peace organization to go fuck themselves. Slandering Palestinians who fight for their identity and their land against a savage occupier does not work anymore. None of the Israelis alive today suffered during the Holocaust and they should no longer exploit this sad episode of European brutality against Jews as a pretext to brutalize another people who have nothing to do with the Holocaust. 

People should read in detail ....

... the crimes committed by the French colonials against the Algerian "terrorists" of the Front de Libération Nationale: Brutal shelling by fighter jets and tanks, destruction of entire villages, rapes, raids and summary mass killings of people fighting back with rocks, hunting rifles, and yes later on, with explosive devices against both French settler civilian and military targets. Sounds like Israel is doing the same thing in Palestine.

The Palestinian liberation movement looks like an exact identical clone of the whole episode of the Algerian liberation movement. The invading foreign barbarian settlers claim to be defending themselves against their own brutalized indigenous victims. 

Genocide Joe Biden said yesterday (Sept. 26) that he's a Zionist and that Zionism means "there has to be an Israel". Fine, but why does Israel have to be created out of nothing at the expense of an innocent land and people like Palestine? Why not create an Israel in Europe where all the Zionists come from?

Bravo for Bisan for her bravery and her competence at reporting on the Zionist savagery in her homeland of Gaza.

Palestinian Journalist Bisan Owda Wins News Emmy After [Failed Zionist] Campaign to Get Nomination Rescinded

"It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive," via Peabody Awards

Palestinian journalist Bisan Atef Owda has won the Emmy for Outstanding Hard News Feature: Short Form for her ongoing project “It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive.” The win comes 5 days after a campaign to get her nomination at the 2024 News and Documentary Emmy Awards rescinded was rejected by the Television Academy.

The project documents Owda’s daily life in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war that has devastated the region since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 of last year. She previously won a Peabody Award for “It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive” earlier this year.

At the News & Documentary Emmys, Owda was nominated alongside media outlet AJ+. But soon after it was announced, her nomination drew outrage from Jewish nonprofit Creative Community for Peace, which accused her of being a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a United States-designated terrorist organization.

As evidence, CCFP cited speeches she purportedly gave at PFLP rallies, and events she hosted to honor Palestinians injured or killed in violent confrontations with Israeli soldiers. The PFLP also referred to her as a member of the Progressive Youth Union of the organization in 2018.

5 days ago, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said it wouldn’t rescind her nomination, noting that all documented ties between her and PFLP occurred “between six and nine years ago,” when Owda was still a teenager. NATAS added that it “unable to corroborate” reports of other ties, and that it wasn’t able “to date, to surface any evidence of more contemporary or active involvement by Owda with the PFLP organization.”

“The content submitted for award consideration was consistent with competition rules and NATAS policies. Accordingly, NATAS has found no grounds, to date, upon which to overturn the editorial judgment of the independent journalists who reviewed the material,” the group also said.

Owda is an activist and filmmaker best known through Instagram (4.7 million followers) and TikTok (191,500 followers), where she documents her experience during the ongoing Israel-Hamas War in Gaza.

Other winners from the News category ceremony included ABC and CNN, both with multiple wins, among others. You can read the complete list of winners here.

Why Doesn't this Idiot Just Shut Up?

The only Christians still alive and free in the entire East are Lebanon's Christians. For fifty years they have been annihilated by wave after wave of all kinds of Muslim threats: Egyptians in the 1950s, Palestinians in the 1960s-1970s, Saudis, Kuwaitis, Libyans and Syrians in the 1970s-1980s, Iranians in the 1980s to date.

Yet, the bulbous - not even Jesus's cross could hold his pudgy chassis - head of the wealthy and highly corrupt Vatican has done nothing to help Lebanon's Catholic Christians. Sure, it keeps taking in their busloads of candidates for sainthood (Lebanon's Christians are stupidly ultra-religious), which helps keep said Christians chained by barbaric and archaic beliefs, but the Vatican has done literally nothing politically to protect them and save them from the fanatic Jewish-Muslim orgy around them. For the past 50 years, millions  of Lebanese Christians have emigrated, and the remaining ones are on their way to extinction, after those of Syria, Israel and Iraq have long vanished form existence. Though numerous, Egypt's Christians live miserable lives of a tolerated "dhimmi" community under constant threat from both the fanatics of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Fascists of the Sissi dictatorship.

The Vatican keeps holding inter-religious ecumenical conclaves in which it claims to be making a rapprochement between the various churches and religions. It raised hell to grant the 200,000 Catholics of tiny East Timor their independence from 240-million Muslim-strong Indonesia (where the Pope visited a week ago), yet it can't help already independent Lebanon from staying out of the religious barbarity between Jews and Muslims next door?

He now says that the Jewish barbarity in Lebanon is "unacceptable". Yup, thanks Popey, that helps a lot. Popes have on occasion visited Lebanon to rally the ignorant crowd of the faithful, and also raise some money out of an economically devastated Lebanon. If Francis doesn't "accept" it, what is he going to do about it? Another sermon and a blessing on Sunday mass? Ad majorem dei ignominiam!

He's been, of course, busy focusing on sex: Hiding pedophile priests all over the world; denouncing the use of condoms; banning women from the priesthood; denying marriage to his army of priests; abortion,... Why is it that the CHURCH feels compelled to regulate every aspect of people's sex lives? There is not an issue "below the belt", i.e. pertaining to sex and reproduction, over which the Church does not have an opinion and an encyclopedic amount of rules and regulations dictated by men who supposedly never had sex, never gave birth, never had families, and never had children (except in secret, of course). 

What is this obession with gentials and sex?

Pope Francis, back from flu, calls airstrikes on Lebanon 'unacceptable'
Joshua McElwee
Updated Wed, September 25, 2024

Squinty and largely useless Pope Francis holding weekly audience

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis called Israeli strikes on Lebanon a "terrible escalation" of the Middle East conflict on Wednesday at the end of his weekly general audience at the Vatican, which went ahead two days after he cancelled meetings over mild flu.

The pope said the attacks, in which Israel says it has been striking targets affiliated with the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement, were "unacceptable" and urged the international community to do everything possible to halt the fighting.

Francis did not specifically identify Israel, but said he was "saddened by news from Lebanon in recent days that bombardments have caused much destruction and many victims".

The 87-year-old pontiff, who has suffered bouts of ill health in recent years, appeared in good form through his audience although he coughed lightly a few times while speaking.

The Vatican has not provided details about the pope's health since announcing on Monday he had cancelled his meetings for that day. It said at the time the pontiff had made the decision as a precautionary measure in view of a trip to Luxembourg and Belgium, which starts on Thursday.

At the audience, the pope confirmed his plans to continue with the visit, and asked for prayers for its success.

The tour, his 46th foreign visit as pope, comes less than two weeks after he returned from a demanding 12-day, four-country excursion around Southeast Asia and Oceania.

The pope referred to the strikes in Lebanon in off-the-cuff remarks at the end of his hour-long audience.

Francis, pope since March 2013, now regularly uses a wheelchair due to knee and back pain. Earlier this year, he cancelled several appoHe's been busy intments over what the Vatican variously described as a cold, bronchitis and influenza.

On the Sept. 2-13 trip to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore, Francis maintained a packed schedule, headlining more than 40 events, and travelling some 33,000 km (20,500 miles).

Francis started the general audience on Wednesday by taking a tour around the crowd in an open-air popemobile, waving to people as a band played orchestral versions of pop songs.

In his main messages to pilgrims, the pope focused on the dangers of temptation, including online pornography, which Catholic teaching forbids.

It's Official: Israel is Now a Terrorist State According to Former CIA Chief

How dare he? Leon Panetta, former CIA Chief, "must" be an antisemite for accusing Israel of being a terrorist state

=================================================

 

Former CIA chief Leon Panetta accuses Israel of terrorism over Hezbollah pager attack

Mon, September 23, 2024

Former CIA director and U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has accused Israel of engaging in terrorism, leveling a charge against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that's typically reserved for enemies of the Israeli state.

The Obama administration fixture, not exactly a favorite among antiwar activists, used the "terrorism" label to describe a suspected Israeli operation to rig pagers and walkie-talkies used by the militant group Hezbollah with explosives. The act of sabotage killed at least 37 people and injured thousands more across Lebanon, including operatives and civilians alike. The coordinated attacks, which preceded a wave of devastating Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, have been widely attributed to Israel.

Speaking with CBS News on Sunday, Panetta said Israel's tactics risk engulfing the region in a full-scale war and expanding the scope of warfare into dangerous territory.

"The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days and turn it into a war of terror, really, a war of terror — this is something new," Panetta said on CBS News Sunday Morning. "I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism. This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next?"

Current and former intelligence officials have described the operation as part of Israel's efforts to gain "red-button" capability, or the penetration of an enemy that can be held in reserve long before activation, sowing chaos and paving the way for a broader offensive. The recent attacks on Lebanon threaten to further escalate an already dangerous situation into a regional war, and the U.S. is preparing for the worst by sending an unspecified number of reinforcements to support the 40,000 troops already stationed in the Middle East, the Pentagon announced Monday.

Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade blows by conventional means as well. Israeli missiles slammed into southern Lebanon on Monday morning, killing 356 people and injuring 1,200 others, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Health, in what Israel said was an effort to take out weapons hidden in residential buildings. Hezbollah fired its own rockets and drones into Israel, with most of them falling into open areas or getting intercepted by Israeli defenses. At least one Israeli person was reported injured. Previous attacks attributed to Hezbollah, including a July strike that left a dozen children dead, have led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people in northern Israel.

Israel did not tell the U.S. about its pager operation in advance of the attacks that began last week, perhaps fearing a "freak-out" by Pentagon officials who would "pull every lever they think they had to get them to not do it,” Ralph Goff, a former CIA official, told The Washington Post. Only after the first wave of attacks last Tuesday did Israel notify Washington that it was behind it all, according to U.S. officials.

In carrying out the operation, experts say that Israel, already under heavy criticism for its war in Gaza and deadly incursions in the West Bank, may have violated international treaties and protocols to which it is a signatory. Article 7(2) of the Amended Protocol II of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons prohibits the use of booby traps, which Lama Fakih, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch, defines as "objects that civilians are likely to be attracted to or are associated with normal civilian daily use."

"The use of an explosive device whose exact location could not be reliably known would be unlawfully indiscriminate, using a means of attack that could not be directed at a specific military target and as a result would strike military targets and civilians without distinction," Fakih said in a statement.

Panetta, speaking Sunday, stressed the importance of stopping such forms of warfare from spiraling out of control.

"I think it’s going to be very important for the nations of the world to have a serious discussion about whether or not this is an area that everybody has to focus on," Panetta said. "Because if they don’t try to deal with it now, mark my word: It is the battlefield of the future."

CNN's Jewish Anchors Promote False Accusations of Antisemitism Against Rep. Tlaib

Virulent anti-Palestinianism has infected CNN. Haphazard, but very dangerous, accusations of antisemtisim were leveled against Rachida Tlaib (D-MI).

Just like that idiot Senator from backward swampy Louisiana with the unfortunate name of John Kennedy who assumed during a hearing that the testifying witness before him "must" love Hamas and Hezbollah simply because she is Muslim, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, both Jewish anchors at CNN, assumed that Rachida Tlaib "must" automatically be an anti-semite because she is Palestinian-American.

This is the same ignorant automaticity that drives dumb racist assholes like Donald Trump and J D Vance to "assume" that subhuman Black African Haitians "must" eat pets. 

In my early days in the US, graduate (hence, supposedly informed) students assumed that I "must" be Muslim because I was from Lebanon in the Middle East, just as they assumed that being from Lebanon, I "must" live in a desert and ride camels. A Full Professor specializing in the Middle East at another university once apologized to me as I was leaving her Christmas party because I might have felt uncomfortable since "Christmas was not part of my traditions". No wonder Americans are known worldwide as both "dumb and ugly".

Extrapolate these incidents and anecdotes - one in the legislative branch of government, one in the Jewish-dominated fourth estate, another in prestigious academia - to everything else in America and you'll see how inborn American ignorance and recalcitrant bias, compounded by the Zionist stanglehold on US culture, constitute a very toxic mix that explains why the US is still backing an unbridled savage Israel.

CNN Anchors Have Pathetic Defense for Lying on Air About Rashida Tlaib
Edith Olmsted
Tue, September 24, 2024


CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash have both had to answer for spreading misinformation about Representative Rashida Tlaib.

During an interview with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Sunday, Tapper asked if she had any response to Tlaib’s “suggestion” that state Attorney General Dana Nessel was seeking strong charges against pro-Palestinian student protesters “because she’s Jewish.”

The only problem is, Tlaib never said anything of the sort.

Steve Neavling of the Detroit Metro Times, who wrote the article that Tapper was citing, published a fact-check on Monday. “Tlaib never once mentioned Nessel’s religion or Judaism. But Metro Times pointed out in the story that Nessel is Jewish, and that appears to be the spark that led to the false claims,” Neavling wrote.

In an interview with the Detroit Metro Times, Tlaib did not mention or even refer to Nessel’s Jewishness. Instead, she spoke about systemic anti-Palestinian bigotry. Some, like Nessel, have interpreted Tlaib’s words about widespread discrimination against her own community as coded antisemitic language.

Despite Neavling’s clarification, the false claim continued to spread. Jewish Insider picked up the story Sunday and wrote, “Tlaib has also claimed that Nessel is only charging the protesters because she’s Jewish,” without including any actual quote. The language in the article has since been changed from “claimed” to “suggested,” but its divorce from reality remains the same.

CNN’s Bash used footage of Tapper speaking to Whitmer about Tlaib as part of a segment Monday about antisemitism “from both ends of the political spectrum.” Bash claimed that Whitmer had “sidestepped calling it out” because Tlaib was a member of her same party—not because it had never actually happened.

Both Tapper and Bash posted clips of their stories on social media, further boosting the claim. Whitmer did eventually make a statement about the nonincident, without referring to Tlaib specifically, which Tapper also shared, further adding fuel to the fire.

Finally, Tapper spoke with Nessel later Monday and claimed that he simply “misspoke” on Sunday.

“I should note that I misspoke yesterday when asking a follow-up of Governor Whitmer who I asked about this. I was trying to characterize your views of Tlaib’s comments,” Tapper said to Nessel. It appeared, however, that Tapper had plainly presented his own characterization of Tlaib’s statement. Tapper then allowed Nessel to repeat her interpretation of Tlaib’s statement.

“What do you make of those today noting that Congresswoman Tlaib never explicitly said your bias was because of your religion and so it’s unfair for you to make that allegation?” he asked.

Nessel replied saying that Tlaib was “well-known for making inflammatory and incendiary remarks that are antisemitic in nature.”

“I think it’s very clear to everybody exactly what she’s saying,” Nessel said.

Bash also offered “clarification” during her show Tuesday. “Tlaib accused Nessel of ‘biases,’” Bash said, now including Tlaib’s full quote: “But it seems that the attorney general decided if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs.

“Now, Tlaib did not reference Nessel’s Jewish identity. Her office has not responded to our request for clarity,” Bash said, attempting to place the onus on Tlaib for the confusion she and her colleague had wrought.

“Her allies insist that’s not what she meant,” Bash said, but offered no further explanation into Tlaib’s comment. “But Nessel still says she believes it’s antisemitic.” Bash then referred to Nessel’s comments on the show the night before.

"Christian" Conservative Trump Crowd is No Less Pornographic and Gay

NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WTH IT!

Trump-supported activist put on leave from employer after gay porn reports

[Gay Pornographer] Corey DeAngelis during the 2022 Hazlitt Summit in Orlando, Fla.


A school-privatization activist and frequent Fox News guest whose work has been praised by former President Donald Trump was placed on leave by his conservative nonprofit employer after reports that he had appeared in gay pornography videos surfaced.

Corey DeAngelis has been a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, a conservative education nonprofit group founded by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, since 2021 (DeVos’ website says she is the former chair of the organization, and the organization’s site does not mention her as being currently involved). Asked about DeAngelis and the adult film reports, Rebekah Bydlak, a spokesperson for the organization, said, “We have placed the employee on leave as we look into this matter further.” Bydlak declined to comment further.

A person who resembles DeAngelis and performs under the name “Seth Rose” appears in at least three gay adult films on the pornography site GayHoopla dating to 2014. In the videos, “Seth Rose” does not have sexual contact with other performers; rather, he appears in scenes masturbating solo or alongside other men. The existence of the videos was first reported last week by the blog Str8 Up Gay Porn, which shares gay porn and articles about sex.

DeAngelis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

DeAngelis, who has more than 160,000 followers on X, received his Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas in 2018 and has worked for several conservative nonprofit groups. In more recent years, he has become a fierce advocate of “school choice,” which subsidizes private schools with public dollars. He has also been a critic of discussing LGBTQ topics in schools. In 2021, Forbes cited DeAngelis on its education category’s 30 under 30 list.

DeAngelis has also regularly appeared as a guest on Fox News in recent years, with some of his appearances criticizing policies that support LGBTQ students.

In a Fox News segment last year, DeAngelis spoke out against the Los Angeles Unified School District after it held a “Week of Action” to honor famous LGBTQ people, including former NFL player Carl Nassib.

“It’s just so strange how the far left is so obsessed with inserting sexual topics into elementary schools,” DeAngelis said in the segment. “Why not just focus on the basics, get the math, reading and arithmetic correct?”

In an appearance on Fox News in May, DeAngelis criticized and linked the student-led protests against the Israel-Hamas war to how LGBTQ issues are talked about in public schools.

“They’re not focusing on the basics — math, reading and writing,” he said. “They’re focusing more on the ‘LGBTs’ than the ‘ABCs.’”

A representative for Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This year, DeAngelis released a book titled “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids From the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.” A description of the book says it “exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools.” Trump praised the book on his social media site, Truth Social, in May.

“Corey DeAngelis is a FIGHTER for Parental Rights,” Trump wrote. “His new book, The Parent Revolution, is a great guide to help Moms and Dads take back control of their children’s education from the RADICAL MARXISTS ruining our schools.”

Trump’s endorsement of the book is pinned to the top of DeAngelis’ Instagram account and quoted at the top of his X account.

In July, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance shared one of DeAngelis’ X posts that included a video of Vance vowing to fight for schoolchildren to “get a good education and not an indoctrination.”

A spokesperson for the Trump-Vance campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last week, DeAngelis shared an X post from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that mocked support for trans girls playing on school sports teams that correspond with their gender identities and the Drag Story Hour children’s reading program.

“Schools should be places for education — not indoctrination,” the post said.

DeAngelis has not posted on his social media accounts since Thursday. His landing page at the American Federation for Children appears to have been taken down.

Kicked in the Stomach, Iran Plays Kittie with US and Abandons Lebanon

Even the Ayatollah wants to make peace with the Great Satan. After years of fomenting and inciting and threatening and funding terror across the region and in Lebanon in particular, now that Israel is mopping the floor with Iran's proxies, the Iranians no longer want to destroy Israel and throw the Jews into the sea and are making overtures to the West. They don't want war. They want to re-negotiate the nuclear agreement. They want to be friends with the US. Which means they are throwing the idiot criminals of Hezbollah under the bus.

And as has always been the case in Lebanon, the stupid Lebanese end up being the village idiots of the region. Before the Hezbollah maniacs, the Lebanese put up with Yasser Arafat and the PLO's Saudi- and Kuwaiti-funded, Egyptian-backed and Syrian-armed rampage of twenty years. Even the West, always at the feet of the Saudis and their Emirati poodles for their oil, tolerated the rape of Lebanon by Arabs and Israelis. Then everyone made peace, Arafat was no longer a terrorist but a partner in a bullshit peace, and Lebanon was left to reel under a brutal Syrian occupation.

We are at the same game again. After allowing Hezbollah to grow in strength for three decades after it massacred western soldiers, bombed embassies, assassinated journalists and politicians, and kidnapped scores of westerners from the streets of Beirut, everyone is "concerned" that a major war has broken out - yet again only on Lebanese soil - between the fanatic criminals of Netanyahu and the fanatic criminals of Iran. Ronald Reagan could have killed Hezbollah in the womb in 1983 when he had his sad marines deployed in Beirut, but he chose to run away after Hezbollah bombed his marines. Why? He did not want to upset Iran (to whom he was secretly selling weapons) and the Arabs (for the Americans had come to Beirut in the first place to save the hide of Arafat and his PLO).

Why don't these nations fight these wars somewhere else? What is it about Lebanon that makes it a magnet for all the criminal and barbarian countries to come settle their scores in Lebanon? 

Imagine if European countries were still fighting their endless wars (as they used to do), but only inside tiny Luxembourg, each having a proxy terror group representing it there? Syria is a great place for wars: It is large, with vast expanses of desert interspersed by cities. In addition, it has US troops, Russian troops, Syrian troops, Free Syrian Army troops, Kurdish troops, Turkish troops, Iranian troops and a host of criminal and religious enterprises like Hezbollah, Al-Qaida, ISIS etc..... one big family of warring criminals, some in ties and suits, some in robes and turbans, whose common interest is in killing innocent civilians.

The Iranian overtures toward the US augur ill for Lebanon. Iran is dangling the revival of the nuclear agreement negotiations before the Americans, in exchange of which the US might accept that the Hezbollah cancer not only remains, but metastasizes into the ascendant dominant group of the country, as long as it stops bothering genocidal Israel after the ongoing carnage and destruction by Israel is completed. This time, the US will sell Lebanon to Iran, and of course, again, to Syria, Iran's ally. Rebuilding Lebanon is cheap; it's a tiny country, and it doesn't take much to rebuild it. Afterwards, another two decades of a fake peace will go by during which Iran and Syria fuck the Lebanese domestically without the international community noticing because it does not involve the venerated icon, Israel.

During the US-sponsored 30-year long rape of Lebanon by Stalinist Syria, the only news that was worthwhile was when Israel got involved sporadically which threatened to destabilize the US-Syrian agreement over Lebanon. Otherwise, killings, disappearances, assassinations, installing puppet governments against the wishes of the Lebanese... were of no interest or concern. Even as Syria was the inaugural member of the US State Dept list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, State Department officials kept telling them the Lebanese that "Syria was a factor of stability" and that they should just adjust to Syria's criminal behavior.

Of course the Lebanese themselves are also to blame: The Muslims love the Arab puppets of America and forgive them their rape of Lebanon over decades, and the foolish Christians have this stockholm syndrome with the US and the West: They think that the West likes them because they are Christians, even as the West is no longer Christian and has not stopped using, abusing, backstabbing and betraying them throughout the second half of the 20th century and into our present time. And they adore Donald Dumb, the idiots!

The new Iranian president is in new York playing cuddly with the West. He wants peace. He does not want war. Yet, he doesn't cut off his rabid pit bulls and tell them to pack it up and go home. Now he's new on the job and we should give him a grace period. But his likely superficial change of heart may be too little too late. Iran has given the Zionist colony in Palestine enough ammunition and pretexts (self-defense!) to keep tormenting the Palestinians and expel them from Palestine, and enough pretexts to annex the south of Lebanon under the guise of a "buffer zone".

Israel did occupy the Lebanese south in the 1980s but it never annexed it. In fact, it withdrew in 2000 without making any effort to prevent its "enemy" Hezbollah from returning there. It could have handed the area to the Lebanese Army and to the existing UN force (UNIFIL) there, but it preferred that Hezbollah controls the area because Hezbollah is a very valuable pretext with which Israel can continue claim self-defense and vitimhood and harass and torment Lebanon. Which means that this time Israel will not only occupy, BUT IT WILL ANNEX southern Lebanon, just as it has done with the Golan Heights, achieving its expansionist colonial-biblical Greater Israel monstrosity.

Iran’s President Says He’s Prepared to Ease Tensions With Israel

Iran’s President Says He’s Prepared to Ease Tensions With Israel

(Bloomberg) -- Iran is prepared to de-escalate tensions with Israel as long as it sees the same level of commitment on the other side, President Masoud Pezeshkian said.

“We’re willing to put all our weapons aside so long as Israel is willing to do the same,” Pezeshkian told reporters Monday ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York. “We’re not seeking to destabilize the region.”

Pezeshkian is in the US for his first appearance at the UN’s annual gathering, where he’s scheduled to speak on Tuesday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to address the same summit two days later, though his travel itinerary hasn’t been finalized.

The Iranian president commented as tensions between Iran and Israel reach new heights after Tehran blamed Israel for being behind a large-scale explosion of pagers and walkie talkies that saw several killed and thousands of people injured in Lebanon — including Iran’s ambassador to Beirut. Iran has threatened to retaliate.

The attack — for which Israel has not confirmed or denied responsibility — was aimed at members of the Hezbollah militant group, which is backed by Iran. The Islamic Republic also sponsors Hamas, which is fighting Israel in Gaza. Both are considered terrorist organizations by the US. In Yemen, Houthi rebels, also backed by Tehran, have been carrying out attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea since last year.

Israel and Hezbollah are involved in an ongoing exchange of rocket fire. If that escalates into a full-blown regional war, the US and Iran — which sees Hezbollah as the most important of its allied militant groups in the Middle East — would likely be dragged in.

Pezeshkian said Iran wants to see peace but will stand up in the face of injustices against its allies, who make their own decisions on military action. “They don’t take orders from anyone,” he said. “It’s not like Yemenis are waiting for us to tell them what to do or what not to do.”

“If a war erupts in the region, it would serve no one’s interest,” he said. “We don’t want to fight. It’s Israel that wants to drag everyone into war and destabilize the region.”

Pezeshkian reiterated that Iran didn’t know in advance about Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, which triggered the war in Gaza, and said both the US and Israel are aware. The militant group killed some 1,200 people and abducted about 250 more. Israel’s retaliatory campaign has killed about 41,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, which doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants.

Nuclear Accord

Deemed a reformer within the narrow range of Iranian politics, Pezeshkian has expressed his willingness to rekindle talks about Tehran’s broken nuclear deal with the West and will push for the US to remove economic sanctions. He said Iran is willing to go back to the original accord, and said Tehran continues to moves toward the goals set in that agreement.

Pezeshkian, who took office in July after his hard-line predecessor died in a helicopter crash, also denied that Iran has provided Russia with weapons to support its war against Ukraine, contrary to US assertions.

“We do not approve of Russian aggression against Ukraine,” he said. “We have not and we will not supply them with any ballistic missiles.”

Undeniable Fact: White Americans are by and large Racists

The current 48% of Trump voters (as described below) are definitely racists, because anyone who supports the racist poison that Trump is spewing must be racist. I can't imagine anyone putting other issues (economy, abortion...) ahead of the issue of racism and say, "I am going to ignore his racism and vote for him because of inflation".  

Therefore 48% of 335 million represent 167 million Americans who are racists.

Despite all the efforts expended over two centuries to make the US a civilized place that lives up to its proclamations of being a beacon on a hill, a "nation" with a manifest destiny, "the" bastion of democracy, a melting pot of diversity, Tump is proving all these claims absolutely fallacious.

For even if we reduce democracy to the ability of people to vote for their representatives, the current efforts of the 167 million racists in this country to eliminate millions of people from the voting rolls because they can't show a birth certificate or their married last name is different from their pre-married last name or they don't have a driving license or any number of bureaucratic obstacle to voting, the mere fact that half the country is ostensibly racist debunks the claim to democracy.

This "whites-only" democracy in the US is what makes this country so much in love with the "Jewish-only" democracy claim of Israel. In the US, which does really belong only to its indigenous Amerindians, we are all one-, two-, three- or four-generations up immigrants or "settlers" if you wish, and the white anglo-saxons are trying to keep more immigrants from coming ashore. In Israel, the country really belongs to its indigenous native Palestinians, and the Jewish "settlers" are also a couple of generations away from the initial European invaders, but are trying to "finish off " the indigenous population.

But the difference is that in America we have essentially finished the job of ethnically cleansing, killing, massacring, starving and otherwise deporting the indigenous population. In Israel, the Jewish settlers are desperately trying to imitate the Americans by eradicating the natives, but are finding this to be a monumental task and an unreachable objective. The barbarity of Israelis vis-a-vis the indigenous Palestinian population is indeed in direct proportion to the despair of the Israelis at erasing Palestine.

Another difference is that immigrants into America are often separated by large oceans from their countries of origin, while the native Amerindians were isolated on this large island that the American continent is. In Israel, the "pool" of Arab sympathizers of Palestine surrounding the Zionist colony is huge and unsurmountable, which means that in a global sense and on the longer term, Israel is doomed as a foreign implant in a vast sea of natives.

Consider for a moment the dynamics of various immigrant groups to the US. If you take Chinese and Asian immigrants, they would come in large numbers, which allowed them to create "safe" zones for themselves in what we know as "Chinatowns". But the flow of immigrants would ebb and flow depending on the global situation and given time most Asian and Chinese immigrants integrate into the American fabric. 

If I look at the Lebanese immigrants - excluding the broader Arab immigration because of religous differences, the Lebanese being mostly Christians while the other Arabs are mostly Muslim -  they were relatively small in numbers and could not create "safe" zones for themselves, and given that they were Christian Catholics, they tend to integrate rapidly and did not need such safe zones anyway.

On the other hand, hispanic immigration is a very different issue. Behind the hispanic immigrants lies a long history of conflicts between Spain and England in the rush to control the new continent, a mutual history between the US and Mexico, and most importantly the contiguity of the hispanic continent with the territory of the United States. Hispanic immigrants generally find a favorable environment in those states that used to belong to Spain and/or were part of Mexico and where the population speaks Spanish and maintains cultural traditions, and they do not need "safe" zones, but still without fully integrating.

The reason is that the geographic contiguity of the US with a huge reservoir of hispanics stretching from Mexico all the way to the southernmost tip of South America, and the constant flow, legal and illegal, of hispanics into the US will prevent integration into the dominant white anglo-saxon population. 

Which explains the desperation of Trump and his 167 million racist followers at fighting immigrants, building walls, denying them voting rights.... I must agree with Trump that the white Anglo-Saxon population is under siege, not by some devilish plan or conspiracy for a "Great Replacement", but by the natural evolution of demographic, historical and geographic dynamics. No one here is at fault for recognizing this evolution. The fault lies in those who reject that fact and react to it with violence and racism.

The colonial French used to own 50% of the North American continent, from northeastern Canada across the Great Lakes into Western Canada, down the eastern seaboard into the mid-Atlantic states, and a large swath down the Mississippi Valley into today's Louisiana. Today, the remnants of that empire are in the Province of Quebec and a vanishing smattering in Louisiana. 

Because immigration to the US from white European countries has basically stopped, and because there is no geographic contiguity between North America and Europe (unless Trump ends up buying Groenland as he once suggested), while the immense hispanic reservoir of immigrants south of Mexico will never dry up, I predict that hispanic culture will continue to crawl northward into the United States over the next couple of centuries. 

Should the reaction of the white American anglos be to build a wall, a "safe" zone for themselves, as Trump is telling them they should, by using violence and racism? Or should they welcome the natural change and integrate in it as much as they expect others to integrate into their own?

Opinion - Trump is at 48 percent. How could this be possible but for widespread racism?

Opinion - Trump is at 48 percent. How could this be possible but for widespread racism?

At this point, the racism is obvious. How else does it make sense that 48 percent of registered voters in last week’s Fox News poll say they have no problem putting Donald Trump back in the White House?

Who are these people who look the other way when their candidate tells a bold lie about Black immigrants eating a mostly white Ohio town’s cats and dogs?

How can it be that not a soul among the 48 percent cares that Trump’s vice-presidential pick, JD Vance, says it is okay to “create” racist lies about immigrants eating pets “so the American media actually pays attention”?

How can 48 percent of voters back a candidate who says immigrants coming from “infested” places are “poisoning the blood of our country?”

Is it just snowflakes who notice when one of Trump’s close allies says, “The White House will smell like curry” if Vice President Kamala Harris, the daughter of an Indian immigrant, wins the presidency?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R- Ga.), no snowflake, condemned the comment as “appalling,” “racist” and “hateful.”

Do these voters also prefer to sail past Trump once calling a Black woman and former aide a “dog”? And he called Alvin Bragg, the Black Manhattan district attorney who successfully prosecuted him for business fraud, an “animal.”

Maybe Trump’s 48 percent don’t excuse his racism so much as get the message. They are inside a Republican Party that is 82 percent white. Most of those white Republicans are in small towns and rural areas.

“Beginning in the early 2010s — and accelerating during the presidency of Donald J. Trump…” The New York Times noted earlier this year, “white voters without a degree, increasingly moved toward the Republican Party. Nearly two-thirds of all white, non-college voters identify as Republicans or lean toward the Republican Party.”

This is the heart of Trump supporters who told YouGov pollsters they believe Trump is telling the truth about Haitian immigrants “abducting and eating pet dogs and cats.”

The YouGov polls also found that 80 percent of Trump supporters also buy his lie that Venezuela is “deliberately sending people from prisons and mental institutions” into the U.S. I wrote a 2018 book about Trump’s history of racism. Vice President Harris echoed the book’s research in talking last week of Trump’s racist past. She pointed back to his participation in the “birther” lie, the incendiary claim that the first Black president, President Obama, had not been born in the U.S.

Harris said Trump can’t be trusted to serve as president after “engaging in…hateful rhetoric that, as usual, is designed to divide us as a country…to have people pointing fingers at each other.”

In this year’s campaign, one of Trump’s regular dog-whistles at his rallies is his false claim that big cities, full of racial minorities and immigrants, are scary places full of crime and failure. Last week he flatly lied at a rally when he said a parent who leaves a child alone on the New York subway has “about a 75 percent chance that [they’ll] never see [their] child again. What the hell has happened here?”

Trump’s use of racism to stir up his white supporters was called out by writer Fran Lebowitz back in 2018. Trump, she wrote, has “allowed people to express their racism and bigotry in a way that they haven’t been able to in quite a while and they really love him for that…It’s a shocking thing to realize people love their hatred more than they care about their own actual lives.”

There are real consequences to all these racist lies. Last week, a Trump-supporting sheriff in Ohio encouraged people to report their neighbors who displayed Harris-Walz lawn signs. This incident called to mind parallels with police in Nazi Germany.

Widening the racial and political divide leads to alarm over possible violence. USA Today recently reported that more than one-third of Republicans who have a favorable view of Trump “say political violence is acceptable.”

According to a new Deseret News-HarrisX poll, 77 percent of U.S. voters say they are “very” or “somewhat” concerned about political violence before Election Day, including 80 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Democrats.

“We are seeing an unprecedented and extremely disturbing level of threats of violence and violence against public officials,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said last week in a speech.

The 48 percent backing Trump try to move away from his racism by talking about the need for a better economy. But Trump’s main economic plan is to impose tariffs that will drive up prices. He has no plan to improve health care or provide more affordable housing.

It was less than 30 years ago when Bob Dole, the 1996 Republican presidential nominee, stared down racism in the GOP. “If there’s anyone who has mistakenly attached themselves to our party in the belief that we are not open to citizens of every race and religion…,” Dole said at the 1996 convention, “the exits, which are clearly marked, are for you to walk out of as I stand this ground without compromise.”

Where are those Republicans now?
