‘Breaking Biden’ Author: Obama Specifically Picked Biden as VP Because Joe Was ‘Bad with Money’
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that his new New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden includes a number of forgotten biographical details about Joe Biden, including the fact that he was tapped as former President Barack Obama’s running mate “specifically for being bad with money.”
Marlow recounted this detail during an interview about Breaking Biden on the Drill Down Podcast with seven-time New York Times bestselling investigative author Peter Schweizer.
“There is a fair bit of biography in the book,” Marlow said. “I tried to
keep it as tight as possible. But I do think you have to get to know
Joe to really understand if we ever want to beat them. We have to get to
know him better than we know him.”
“One of the reasons why Barack Obama picked Joe Biden was specifically because he was poor,” Marlow continued. “[Obama] actually liked the optics of having one of the poorest guys in the Senate. And this is so crazy to me because we were just in an era recently where if someone made money and someone made it in America, we pointed to those people as the example—like, ‘Wow, that person really has what it takes. They know what they’re doing.’ Joe Biden’s family has made money and lost it so many times you lose count. And that was a virtue for Barack Obama. And then, Joe gets in and presides over the worst economic policy—I’ve two chapters on this in the book—imaginable. And it just haunts me that he was tapped specifically for being bad with money. And now we’ve got the Biden inflation. We’ve got these insane EV policies that enrich China.”
Schweizer then noted the irony of the Biden family corruption that accelerated with Joe Biden’s elevation to the vice presidency.
“What’s remarkable about that story, by the way, is Barack Obama says, ‘I’m going to get this guy who’s poor, who they would argue hasn’t cashed in.’ And what does Joe Biden do? ‘I’m Vice President now. Now’s the opportunity to really make bank!’ I mean, it’s shocking,” Schweizer said.

Schweizer praised Breaking Biden as a “terrific book” and declared that Marlow has “out-researched” him with this carefully sourced exposé on the Biden family.
“Breaking Biden is a terrific book,” Schweizer said. “I think you did a great job with it. I learned things reading this book. And I don’t say that lightly because, as you know, I’ve studied [Biden] for a long time.”
Schweizer also praised Marlow’s extensive research and over 1,600 endnotes in Breaking Biden. “He’s got the thicker spine, more pages, and he’s got more endnotes. So, Alex, you have out-researched me, which is saying something,” Schweizer quipped about Breaking Biden.
This is, of course, high praise coming from the #1 bestselling author of Red-Handed, Profiles in Corruption, and Clinton Cash. Schweizer’s Profiles in Corruption is widely credited for providing much of the groundwork for subsequent investigations into the Biden family corruption.

Soros Has Visited the White House 14 Times
For George Soros it was about control to gain influence, access, and special treatment. After the election Biden formed a transition team that staffed itself with people connected to Soros.
But his money also played a part. Soros spent over $70 million on activities that backed Biden's candidacy. Soros bought frequent access to Obama. That access returned under Biden. Biden's Kampf

George Soros: A New Kind of Tyrant?
The venomous careers of Hitler and Stalin provoked the study of totalitarian regimes as the very epitome of evil, depriving their citizens of freedom and of life itself. A state captured by a demagogue is considered a sure sign of danger ahead -- hence the alleged justification by the Left for their hysteria over “rabble rouser” Donald Trump’s election. Overlooked until more recently are the unelected, bloated bureaucratic fiefdoms and regulatory encroachments of both national and global government and non-governmental institutions, which have created the opportunity for a sinister, large scale violation of political power.
This new abuse was foreshadowed in the career of FBI architect and director, the corrupt J. Edgar Hoover. It has been notched up to a planetary level of hyper-coordination by George Soros as preliminary to the installation of his global Open Society. In this grandiose plan, state governments (specifically the USA) will be reduced to the level of relay stations for a supranational, Sauron-like centralization of power.
What unites the totalitarian and the new tyrant are three personality characteristics, proposed by Professor John D. Mayer in his 1993 article, “The Emotional Madness of the Dangerous Leader.” The first is indifference. The tyrant is consumed by a single-minded, fanatical purpose and has no regard for the suffering wreaked on others during its implementation. The second is intolerance of those whose opinions differ, facilitated through control of the media, secret and insider knowledge, revenge against anyone who thwarts, and a paranoid mania to shut down all opposition. The third character trait (the foundation of the previous two), is psychopathic grandiosity. The power-abuser assumes a messianic pose of unifying society under a utopian plan and persuading others to participate. The very intensity of the tyrant’s narcissism is transferred to vulnerable supporters eliciting a narcotic rush of enthusiasm.
What is easily overlooked is that the sham scheme is not a political health remedy, but a device for maintaining the megalomaniac’s sense of personal omnipotence. In Soros’ own words, “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. In fact, my grandfather was actually paranoid.” Soros seems disarming in his frankness. But delusions of grandeur preclude self-knowledge, as Soros’ next statements reveal. “I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Soros has spilled bucketloads of words proclaiming he is “amoral,” “self-interested,” and that “normal rules do not apply” to him. “I am unnatural. I am a sort of deux ex machina. I’m very comfortable with my public persona, because it is the one I have created myself.” And this from the man who controls politicians and bureaucrats like a boss giving dictation to his secretary. This is the man who has perfected the subversion of governments, who has robbed failing states, and lavishly endowed every organization and movement destructive of traditional Western society, from abolishing the Electoral College to abolishing life itself if it is in utero, drug-addicted, or senile. His ambition is without borders -- “The Soviet Empire is now the Soros Empire.” “I’m the Pope’s boss now.” And so on, ad nauseum. Yet, like other tyrants, he is untouchable. Those he has made richer and more powerful protect him.
In March 1933 the Germans voted. They could have voted for the moderate Center Christian party. Instead they voted in Hitler. ‘Deplorable’ Americans however confounded Soros by not voting for “What can we do for you, George?” Hillary Clinton. Yet where are the congressional and Senate investigations into Soros? Where is the RICO indictment? Governments have been bought. The media has been bought. The Soros NGO empire operates an invasive, parasitic web currently devouring the body politic of the USA and many other nations besides.
What Trump’s election has revealed is the limitation of the Presidency in withstanding the transfer of power to unelected, publicly unaccountable bureaucrats, and venal politicians, more concerned with their benefices than their constituents. That void has allowed Soros to install himself as de facto puppet-master. We require bureaucracy, and we cannot prevent the existence of associations, but there is an urgent need for reform by abolishing permanency in government and establishing citizens’ tribunals of appeal against abuses of administrative power.
Recently in an interview on his simpering NPR, Soros confessed he was unprepared for the populist opposition to his insurrectionary agenda. Let us continue our opposition. Let us demand Soros be investigated and brought to justice as conditional for obtaining our vote. Those with connection to him must be banned from public office, and his assets frozen. Then his parasitical minions will shrivel, like leeches desiccated by a pinch of salt. If not, although we may escape the mass slaughter of the twentieth century, it will be at the cost of vassalage beneath a tyrant like George Soros.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF GAMER PARASITE LAWYERS, BILLIONAIRES FOR OPEN BORDERS AND BANKSTERS FOR BOTTOMLESS BAILOUTS
HOW MANY PIG GAMER LAWYERS HERE:
1.) TONY BLINKEN

3.) BILLARY CLINTON
4.) ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS
5.) XAVEIR BECERRA
6.) KETANJI BROWN JACKSON
7.) NANCY GBANA ABUDU
We all know what a doddering old fool the current occupant of the Oval Office is, so there's no need to document his latest gaffes. Let's examine instead four of his nominees, starting with Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his connection with George Soros.
Blinken's father, Donald Blinken, and his wife Vera funded the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives at Soros' Central European University (CEU). In one Soros Foundations Network report from 2002, Blinken was listed on the Board of Trustees of CEU after Soros and Aryeh Neier (who served as the president of the Open Society Institute from 1993 to 2012).
Recipe for Disaster: A Democrat President and a Democrat Senate
We have a Democrat president who will nominate anybody who will further his agenda and a Democrat-controlled Senate that places ideology and vote-buying ahead of country and will approve any cabinet member or judge that a Democrat president nominates.
We all know what a doddering old fool the current occupant of the Oval Office is, so there's no need to document his latest gaffes. Let's examine instead four of his nominees, starting with Secretary of State Tony Blinken and his connection with George Soros.

In one Soros Foundations Network report from 2002, Blinken was listed on the Board of Trustees of CEU after Soros and Aryeh Neier (who served as the president of the Open Society Institute from 1993 to 2012).
Like father, like son. Blinken, in May 2021, wrote, "Former President of Albania Sali Berisha's corrupt acts undermined democracy in Albania. I am publicly designating Berisha and his immediate family members as ineligible for entry into the United States."
Why? Berisha had denounced Blinken's action as the work of George Soros. When confronted by Congressman Lee Zeldin (NY-1), Blinken said, "I don't have anything to share." He provided only platitudes but no evidence.
Let's examine Blinken's "accomplishments" without Soros.
Blinken said in remarks in April 2021, "As Secretary of State, my job is to make sure our foreign policy delivers for the American people -- by taking on the biggest challenges they face and seizing the biggest opportunities that can improve their lives. No challenge more clearly captures the two sides of this coin than climate."
Blinken then doubled down, trying in September to justify his concern for climate change by blaming it for worsening conflicts around world. "Look at almost every place where you see threats to international peace and security today -- and you'll find that climate change is making things less peaceful, less secure, and rendering our response even more challenging."
About Blinken's confrontation with the Chinese delegation in Alaska, former CIA analyst and National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz said, "It was one of the most incompetent displays I've ever seen by an American diplomat. I think they were just virtue signaling before the lapdog American media. It was a serious mistake and it set back our policies and it made them look inept because they weren't ready for the counterattack by Chinese officials."
In July 2021, Blinken waived sanctions on Iran's oil trade to allow Japan and Korea to infuse billions of dollars into Iran's failing economy. Then in February 2022, Blinken signed several sanction waivers related to Iran's civilian nuclear activities in a move, he said, was designed to "entice Iran to return to compliance with the 2015 deal that it has been violating since former president Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and re-imposed US sanctions."
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security who keeps insisting the southern border is secure, intervened to help obtain a sentence commutation for the son of a major Democrat Party donor. The son was a convicted drug dealer.
Then U.S. attorney Mayorkas approached the White House in 2000 on behalf of Carlos Vignali, a convicted drug trafficker whom prosecutors said was a leading figure in a drug ring with nearly three dozen members that stretched from California to Minnesota.
Vignali's father was a wealthy real-estate developer and a substantial donor to California Democrats. He persuaded more than nine important Democrat politicians to approach Bill Clinton on his son's behalf. He increased his political donations as his son's trial began, then donated ever-increasing amounts to the Democratic National Committee during their convention in Los Angeles. The Vignali family also contributed to Xavier Becerra's political campaigns prior to his advocacy for Carlos. Becerra is currently the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Andrew Dunne, an assistant U.S. attorney in Minneapolis who prosecuted Vignali's case, said, "There was a lot of influence, oh yes."
Clinton, on his last day in office, freed Vignali after he had served less than six years of a more than fourteen-year sentence.
Further, an Obama-era inspector general report asserted that Mayorkas had assisted foreign investors in the EB-5 visa program who were connected to top Democrats. "Mayorkas 'pressured staff' to expedite the review of a Las Vegas hotel and casino investment at the request of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid," and made "...an 'unprecedented' intervention to help GTA, a company chaired by former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe." A third intervention for former Democratic Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell resulted in the overturning of another EB-5 refusal.
If not for Mayorkas' intervention, all the cases would have been decided differently.
As if Ketanji Brown Jackson, who can't (or wouldn't) define what a woman is, wasn't bad enough, we now have Nancy Gbana Abudu, Biden's nominee for the 11th Circuit Court.
Biden said Abudu's nomination was part of his "...promise to ensure that the nation's courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country -- both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds." Her nomination came as the administration and congressional Democrats emphasized voting rights and alleged voter suppression in Republican-led states such as Georgia, where Abudu serves.
She is late of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). While at the ACLU, she boasted, "95 percent of my work is in voting rights." She has compared the ban on felons voting to slavery and proof of citizenship to voter suppression. "When you add laws that prohibit people with a criminal conviction from voting, it's practically the same system as during slavery -- Black people who have lost their freedom and cannot vote." I guess she thinks non-Blacks never lose their right to vote.
Last August Abudu urged the Senate to pass HR 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. She said, "As HR 4 moves to the Senate, some senators have already committed to doing everything in their power to oppose the bill -- up to and including leveraging a legislative tool popular with pro-Jim Crow senators of the past -- to prevent its passage and to further erode the fundamental right to vote."
I don't think Abudu ever read HR 4. If she had, she would know HR 4 restores preclearance, which requires states to prove “that the proposed [voting] law would have neither the purpose nor the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group.” This concept was struck down by SCOTUS in 2013.
Blinken and Mayorkas the men will pass, but the damage they've done will be with us for a long time. As will Abudu and her legacy.

Biden’s White House Will Not Revoke Visas of Pro-Hamas Foreign Students
President Joe Biden’s White House has no plans to revoke the visas of those foreign students engaging in demonstrations across United States college campuses in defense of the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas and its attacks on Israel.
After a number of Republicans urged Biden’s State Department to revoke the visas of pro-Hamas foreign students who hold F-1 visas, National Security Council (NSC) spokesman John Kirby said the administration will not do so.
An exchange at a White House briefing went as follows:
REPORTER: There’s been an uptick on the right among some Republicans who have called for students or foreign nationals who are demonstrating in some of these pro-Palestine demonstrations or, you know, allegedly pro-Hamas demonstrations to have their student visas pulled or to face deportation. What is the administration’s remark — response to those kinds of remarks and that kind of rhetoric? Is that an overreaction? [Emphasis added]
KIRBY: That … I would just tell you that you don’t have to agree with every sentiment that is expressed in a free country like this to stand by … the idea [of] the First Amendment and the idea of peaceful protest. I’ll leave it at that. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News reported, Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are leading a resolution urging the Biden administration to revoke the visas of foreign nationals in the U.S. who are involved in pro-Hamas demonstrations — especially those on F-1 student visas.
“To put the security of American citizens first, President Biden must immediately revoke the visas of those who support Hamas and other terrorist groups,” Blackburn said.

Sens. Katie Britt (R-AL.), Rick Scott (R-FL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Ted Budd (R-NC), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Cornyn (R-TX), and John Hoeven (R-ND) have signed the resolution.
Meanwhile, Rubio and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) have each written to top Biden officials at the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pressing them to swiftly revoke visas and deport pro-Hamas foreign students.
“I write to urge you to immediately deport any foreign national — including and especially any alien on a student visa — that has expressed support for Hamas and its murderous attacks on Israel,” Cotton wrote to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“These fifth-columnists have no place in the United States,” Cotton wrote.

Joel B. Pollak / Breitbart NewsIn Fiscal Year 2022, alone, the federal government provided green cards and nonimmigrant visas, including F-1 student visas, to foreign nationals from some of the most pro-Hamas countries in the world.
For example, more than 8,300 Iranians arrived in the U.S. last year on nonimmigrant visas. In addition, the government gave more than 8,000 green cards to Iranians in Fiscal Year 2022 — including more than 800 who arrived on the Diversity Visa Lottery and more than 520 who arrived as refugees.

Exclusive–House Republicans Issue ‘Evicted Act’ to Instantly Deport Palestinian Illegal Aliens from U.S.
Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN) and Tom Tiffany (R-WI) are introducing legislation that would have the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immediately deport illegal aliens from the United States if they arrived from Palestinian-controlled regions such as Gaza.
The “Evicting Violent Islamic Criminals That Entered Deviously Act” or “Evict Act,” exclusively shared with Breitbart News, would use the Immigration and Nationality Act to have DHS deport illegal aliens in the U.S. who arrived from Palestinian-controlled regions.
“No one can escape the countless videos of Palestinian terrorists barbarically murdering Jewish families in Israel,” Ogles told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement.

“Those same terrorists want Americans to die. President Biden has refused to secure our nation. We need to deport migrants who came from countries with ill will for the United States … make no mistake that what is happening in Israel could happen in the U.S. if we don’t take action and evict the Palestinian jihadists that have invaded our nation,” he continued.
Since Biden took office in late January 2021, nearly 300 illegal aliens on the federal government’s “Terrorist Watch List” have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border. During this same period, nearly two million illegal aliens are known to have successfully crossed the border, undeterred by Biden.
“Joe Biden has shown time and time again that enforcing our immigration laws is not a priority for his administration,” Tiffany said in a statement to Breitbart News. “I thank Congressman Ogles for doing what Joe Biden refuses to do – put the security of the American people first.”

The legislation comes as Ogles and Tiffany similarly introduced the “Gaza Act” this month following terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel. That bill would ban President Joe Biden from resettling Palestinians in American communities through the refugee resettlement program or via a parole pipeline.
The bill has been endorsed and introduced in the Senate by National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Steve Daines (R-MT).

DeSantis Orders Colleges To Disband Students for Justice in Palestine Over Support for Terrorists
Florida’s university system, working with Governor Ron DeSantis, ordered colleges on Tuesday to shut down a pro-Palestinian student organization, making Florida the first U.S. state to outlaw the group whose national leadership backed Hamas's attack on Israel.
The State University System of Florida said chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) had to be dismantled as part of a "crack down" in the Republican-led state on campus demonstrations that provide "harmful support for terrorist groups."
"Based on the National SJP’s support of terrorism, in consultation with Governor DeSantis, the student chapters must be deactivated," the system's chancellor Ray Rodrigues wrote in a memo to university leaders.
SJP is active in at least two Florida universities, Rodrigues said.
The University of Florida and Florida State University have SJP chapters, based on Instagram sites. The National SJP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tensions between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian students have led to harassment and assaults at U.S. universities since Hamas's Oct.7 attack and Israel's siege and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Administrators at some U.S. universities criticized the National SJP after it called Hamas's attack "a historic win for the Palestinian resistance" and called for a "day of resistance" on Oct. 12 with demonstrations by its chapters at over 200 colleges in America and Canada.
National SJP advertised that event with a template flyer that depicted a person flying on a motorized hang glider, a reference to one of the methods by which Hamas terrorists entered Gaza to conduct their raids in which they killed more than 1,400 Israelis.
Florida's university system said it based its SJP ban on a "toolkit" issued by the national organization to chapters that referred to Hamas's attack as "the resistance" and stated "Palestinian students in exile are PART of this movement."
In his memo, Rodrigues said National SJP identified itself as part of Hamas's attack and it was a felony under Florida law "to provide material support ... to a designated foreign terrorist organization."
Other Republican politicians have called for similar actions. Sen. Tim Scott (R., S.C.), a competitor to Ron DeSantis in the race for the 2024 Republican nomination for the presidency, said that students who projected pro-Hamas messages onto a library at George Washington University should face deportation if they are foreign nationals.

Biden Admin Let Muslim Staffers Vet Israel Speech
“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada”
The Biden administration’s tone on Israel notably shifted after the first few days. The initial response to the attack was generally good and then as pressure mounted, the administration counterprogrammed each mention of antisemitism with Islamophobia which reached truly horrendous levels of pandering when Biden’s press secretary denied the existence of antisemitism and began lecturing on Islamophobia and an obsessive focus on the welfare of ‘Gaza’.
By the time Biden gave his big speech, it had to be vetted by Muslim staffers.
Hours before President Joe Biden gave a rare primetime address last week, his head speechwriter sat down with a group of senior Arab and Muslim-American officials to go over the draft and take suggestions.
Dissent was sprouting even inside the White House, where some aides worried that Biden hadn’t shown enough empathy for Palestinian civilians and a Muslim community facing a torrent of anger, said a person familiar with the discussions who, like others, requested anonymity to talk freely.
The hour-long editing session reflects a vigorous outreach effort the White House is undertaking to reassure Arab-Americans who feel they’re being scapegoated for the atrocities that Hamas has committed a half-world away.
Who were these officials? They aren’t being named, but the Biden administration includes some pretty bad figures. Like Hady Amr, his point man on ‘Palestinian’ issues, and Maher Bitar.
“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11, discussing his work as the national coordinator of the anti-Israel Middle East Justice Network.
Biden has now chosen Amr as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel-Palestine.
And less well known figures.
Biden’s incredible Muslim team includes men and women whom we have already profiled like Maher Bitar, a former executive board member of Hatem Bazian’s Students for Justice in Palestine and anti-Israel BDS activist who became Biden’s Senior Director for Intelligence on the National Security Council, Reema Dodin, Biden’s first “Palestinian” staffer who had defended suicide bombings, and Mazen Basrawi, Biden’s new Muslim liaison, who attended a conference honoring one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the World Trade Center bombing,
In 2014, Abdullah Hasan was a recipient of the CAIR-SFBA Islamic Scholarship Fund. He went on to defend BDS for the ACLU. Now he’s an assistant press secretary at the White House.
They include Aya Ibrahim, who started out as a legislative fellow to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, one of the most vocal terrorist supporters in Congress.
Sameera Fazili briefly served as Deputy Director of the National Economic Council in the Biden Administration. At Harvard, she had served as president of the Harvard Islamic Society the year that it had conducted a fundraising dinner for the Holy Land Foundation: a Hamas front group.
Uzra Zeya started out as a staffer at the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs: an informal arm of the Arab Lobby started by former diplomats to Muslim countries. While there Zeya helped compile material for a book claiming that Jews secretly control the United States. Biden chose Zeya as his undersecretary for civilian security, democracy and human rights.
Rashad Hussain, Biden’s “ambassador for religious freedom”, who has a degree in Islamic Studies and had memorized the Koran, had been Obama’s envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. During his time working for Obama, he had been caught lying about his past defense of an Islamic terrorist. Hussain had appeared at events with Muslim Brotherhood leaders. His wife, Isra Bhatty, became famous volunteering as a translator for Islamic terrorists in Gitmo before moving on to a senior position at the Justice Department.
Brenda Abdelall, the daughter of Egyptian immigrants, had participated in anti-Israel BDS protests in college. In a newspaper op-ed in 2002, she had falsely accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” as part of a “brutal occupation”.
Even after this appointment, Abdelall appeared at the same convention as Hussain where speakers had called for a caliphate ruled by Islamic law and freeing Islamic terrorists.
So we’re not just talking about ‘Muslim staffers’. We’re talking about an administration whose Muslim staffers are often vehemently anti-Israel and terror adjacent.
Good thing they’re vetting Biden’s speeches on Israel.

Obama’s ‘friendly advice’ to Israel
Barack Obama describes himself as a friend of Israel. In reality, the relationship between the former president and the State of Israel, one embodied by his approach to their leader Benjamin Netanyahu, has always been strained, if not downright hostile, since Obama was elected president.
Reportedly,
when Netanyahu was invited to the Obama White House, he was snubbed and
then kept waiting by Obama for half an hour, before the president
finally condescended to see the leader of our country’s great ally and
only friend in the Middle East.
Obama’s petulance continued to be publicly displayed when he failed to congratulate Netanyahu on his 2015 re-election.
The
rift between Israel’s leader and our former president was heightened
just recently as Obama, in his usual condescending and pontifical
manner, warned Netanyahu
and Israel that their retaliation against Hamas was likely to “harden
Palestinian attitudes” towards the State of Israel.
From
everything I have read and heard regarding Hamas’s position towards
Israel, that terrorist group has always publicly and obscenely called
for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews. Try as I might,
I cannot imagine a worsening of that position.
Hamas rewarded kidnappers
of Israeli civilians with cash rewards and free apartments upon
returning to Palestinian-occupied territory with those captured
Israelis.
They have, according to multiple reports, raped and murdered Israeli citizens and have gone so far as beheading Israeli babies.
If
Obama, despite these Hamas atrocities, thinks the Palestinian attitude
towards Israel could get worse, and if he really believes he is giving
Israel friendly advice, Israel’s thought must certainly be, “With
friends like this, who needs enemies?”

The Left’s Planned Destruction of the Judeo-Christian World
What is now occurring in Israel is no act of happenstance or the result of failed policy. It is the execution of a premeditated plan of destruction that Obama began, and Biden is trying to finish. The American left has long desired to eliminate Judeo-Christian followers. Their reasoning is simple: you cannot conquer, subjugate, and enslave a population that refuses to accept the rule of an earthly authority.
With Barack Obama leading the American left and pulling the strings on the Biden marionette, the plan is in motion. They seek to destroy Israel, followed by erasing Christians, whether through genocide (as in parts of Africa) or criminalizing Christianity.
In 2014, Israel initiated “Operation Protective Edge” to destroy “endless” miles of terror tunnels Hamas used to gain access into Israel and murder civilians. The Obama Administration assailed the Netanyahu government for using “disproportionate force” to protect their citizens from death at the hands of terrorists.
That same year, in a Tel Aviv speech, Philip Gordon, special assistant to U.S. President Barack Obama and the White House coordinator for the Middle East, made clear Barack Obama’s position. As reported on July 8 in Times of Israel:
Israel’s ongoing occupation of the West Bank is wrong and leads to regional instability and dehumanization of Palestinians, a top American government official said Tuesday in Tel Aviv, hinting that the current Israeli government is not committed to peace.
Gordon appealed to Israeli and Palestinian leaders to make the needed compromises to reach a permanent peace agreement. Jerusalem “‘should not take for granted the opportunity to negotiate’ such a treaty with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has proven to be a reliable partner,” Gordon said. Abbas’s administration has called for the extermination of all Jews as an Islamic imperative.

Whether Gaza or the West Bank, Obama placed greater concern on the quality of life of Palestinians who subscribe to terrorism than industrious Jews working to build a better life for themselves.
In a July 27, 2014, phone conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Obama insisted on a Gaza cease-fire:
An immediate and unconditional ceasefire ending Israel’s assault on Hamas is a “clear strategic imperative” to Israel, U.S. President Barack Obama told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in a phone call on Sunday.
[snip]
Obama told Netanyahu he wants a ceasefire “that both allows Palestinians in Gaza to lead normal lives and addresses Gaza’s long-term development and economic needs, while strengthening the Palestinian Authority,” the White House said, in a readout of the call to reporters.
In terms of disproportionate force, what gives Barack Obama the right to say what a Jew’s life is worth? (The Biden administration is repeating the same line.) To those who have followed Middle East events, it is clear that the last thing to concern Obama was a Jew’s life. His position always focused on protecting the Palestinian right to kill Jews, while minimizing the consequences. Looking at today’s horrors in Israel and Obama’s lethargic response, how can any reasonable person believe otherwise?
In 2015, Obama promoted and signed the Iranian Nuclear Accord over bipartisan objection from the Senate on both constitutional and principled grounds. Obama ignored that. Obama’s agreement was structured to allow Iran to develop nuclear power readily convertible to a nuclear weapon. It also deleted existing sanctions, giving Iran the financial resources to pursue its oft-stated goal using nuclear weapons against the Jewish State. Additionally, the money allowed Iran to sponsor Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Majid Rafizadeh, an economist and business consultant who teaches at Harvard University, offered his analysis of the deal:
The international community would truly do itself a great service to recognize that the nuclear deal was nothing more than a pro-mullah agreement which provided Iran’s ruling clerics with billions of dollars to pursue their anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Iranian people and pro-terror activities, while simultaneously providing cover for Iran to pursue its nuclear ambitions.
When President Trump withdrew from the Iran deal, he reimposed sanctions and essentially cut off funding for terrorism. An important point lost on many today is that when we were mass-producing energy under President Trump, we drove down the price of oil in the marketplace. This further deprived Iran (and Russia) of resources to use against the United States and other Judeo-Christian nations.
As a parting shot at Israel, in 2016, Barack Obama refused to block an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations condemning settlement construction. Perhaps the strongest evidence of Obama’s desire to destroy the Jewish State comes from his allowing the resolution to pass. The proof is simple. The resolution holds that the Temple Mount and Western Wall, Jerusalem’s holiest sites going back over 2,500 years, are occupied territory. The so-called Palestinian people are a construct fabricated in the 1960s. Only the worst of the Jew-haters could endorse this resolution.
Currently, much is being made of $6 billion that the Biden administration has moved to make available to Iran, but that amount is small compared to what his administration has already done. Writing in August 2023, former White House official Richard Goldberg explained:
“At least $16 billion has now been made available to Iran without any congressional input — and more might be on the way. Another $6.7 billion is reportedly moving to Iran via the International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights… and reportedly… another $3 billion of regime assets frozen in Tokyo, India and China…”
In addition, Biden continues to issue waivers for oil exports without Congressional oversight, resulting in Iran deriving many billions of dollars in revenue.
Under President Trump Iranian oil exports were 10 percent of what they are today, representing reductions of tens of billions of dollars to Iran. It was deterrence without death and destruction.
Today, the Biden Administration has reversed the Trump measures and renewed the flow of money to Iran and Hamas. Without this funding, both Iran and Hamas would be unable to move against Israel. In addition, based on a Wall Street Journal report, aside from funding, Iran provided the organizational structure and guidance for the attack on Israel.
Simply put, without Iranian sponsorship, Israeli babies would not have been beheaded or burned alive. Israel’s move to exterminate Hamas should have taken place in 2014. It is obvious that Barack Obama blocked this action. So again, what other conclusion can be drawn other than his goal was to destroy Israel, a goal that Biden continues to pursue?
Moreover, both Obama and Biden know that, when the Jews are gone, Christians are next. Hamas has explicitly stated that, after Israel, it will eliminate Christianity (and, presumably, Christians). This will not be confined to Israel. It will happen here. Thousands of Middle Eastern men of military age are coming over our southern border, with numbers of them on the terror watchlist. They are waiting for the Ayatollah to press the button. The American leftist leader Barack Obama is the author of the existing tragedy and what is to come.
What is currently transpiring in the Middle East is not due to some error in judgment. It was planned. The violence, death, and destruction were premeditated. If not headed off now, the American left will empower the Muslim community to accomplish their goal and bring their horror show here.

Obama’s Mindset Still Drives U.S. Mideast Policy
Israeli settlements are legal - despite Obama's 2016 denial.
Votes
have consequences. President Obama directed the U.S. to abstain on a
vote by the UN Security Council in December 2016 – just before leaving
office – called Resolution 2334, which condemned Israel for its
settlements In occupied territories. In previous votes on this matter,
the U.S. vetoed said condemnation.
This
abstention in effect branded Israel as a violator of international law
at the expense of the Arab population living within its borders since
the Israeli victories of 1967 and 1973 (the Yom Kippur war). The enemies
of Israel have never tired of stating that Israeli Jewish settlements
in occupied territories, especially in the south of Judea and Samaria,
were expanding too rapidly in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Judea and Samaria were the original names of the land areas of
present-day Israel – names that were abolished by the Romans in 70 AD.
The Romans re-named the land area Palestine. That is why the residents
of that area, prior to the recognition by the United Nations of Israeli
statehood, were called Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs.
Many
uninformed persons today do not realize that the United Nations also
authorized the creation of a state for the Palestinian Arabs at the same
time the State of Israel was authorized, but the Palestinian Arabs,
coached by the neighboring Arab countries, turned down the offer.
Instead, the Arabs in the region, intent on destroying the new Jewish
state and annihilating all the “Palestinian Jews” (now properly called
Israelis), called upon all Arab residents of the newly formed state of
Israel to flee so they could wipe out all of Israel. After the intended
“wipe out,” those who fled could return to the homes and property they
had left – as well as take over all the property of the Jews.
It
was an all-or-nothing plan, and they ended up with nothing. The
fledgling state of Israel that was completely outmatched in terms of
equipment nevertheless won the war in 1948, and the Arabs who had fled
from Israel now found themselves living in camps and unable to occupy
the homes they had left in Israel (“Eretz Yisrael”). Some observers,
like this writer, believe that not only was that victory a David vs.
Goliath-type of event, but that it was the fulfillment of the prophecy
found in Ezekiel Chapter 37 – wherein the prophet is taken to the Valley
of Dry Bones and the bones are resurrected by the power of Almighty
God, thus ushering in the soon-to-be return of Christ.
Some
commentators, in particular Shalom Lipner, saw Obama’s abstention on
the vote condemning Israel as more of a personal confrontation between
Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Further, like so many
elitist commentators, he expressed his understanding in opaque, highly
educated language. He wrote:
Lacking
critical texture, the resolution paints the entire parcel in question
with the same truth, effectively equating the most isolated of Israeli
settlements – which Israel would surely dismantle in the even of a bona
fide peace agreement….
He
is thereby disagreeing with the resolution but sees it as a finesse to
favor Obama’s perspective over that of Netanyahu. Yet the florid
language obscures the reality that Israel was betrayed.
However, although Obama was president, there was considerable backlash against his decision to abstain. Obama
found himself opposed by Sen. Tom Cotton, Sen. Mitch McConnell, Sen.
Cory Gardner, President-elect Donald Trump, Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham,
and even Democrat Senator Charles Schumer. Obama’s decision was not only
pro-Islamic, it also represented a twisted interpretation of the Fourth
Geneva Convention which was supposed to be the reason for the
abstention.
The
Fourth Geneva Convention has an entire section about the legal
treatment of occupied territories going from Article 47 to Article 78.
These articles cover such topics as children, repatriation, and hygiene
in occupied territories. Section 47 is the one section that may seem to
apply to the Israeli occupation per se. It states,
Protected
persons who are in occupied territory shall not be deprived, in any
case or in any manner whatsoever, of the benefits of the present
Convention by any change introduced, as the result of the occupation of a
territory….
Reviewing
the articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention, this writer concludes
that the meaning inferred by Obama was that the increase of settlements
by Israelis in lands acquired in earlier wars with Arab states deprive
local Arabs in those territories “of the benefits…by any change
introduced as a result of the occupation….”
To
me, this is an extreme and hostile view of the Israeli settlements in
lands taken during wars. Arabs in those lands are in no way oppressed by
the presence of Jewish Israelis in expanded numbers in neighboring
acreage. Thus, Israel is right in conceiving of this interpretation of
Section 47 of the Convention as illegitimate, and it is clear that Obama
sacrificed truth for the sake of the Islamic false claims. The Arabs
simply did not want to live near increasing numbers of Jews. No
international law was breached.
By
failing to veto the false claim of the terrorist world that surrounds
Israel, Obama opened the door to a fundamentally false understanding of
the Israeli settlements in lands taken during the horrible wars that
beset that wonderful country. This was an encouragement to Hamas and to
all those bitter murderers who deny the right of Israel to exist as a
country. The Arab bias is driven by an irrational sense of Islamic
hegemony as being valid in any lands they had conquered at one time.
Whatever
President Obama may or may not have thought, Israel is not in violation
of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Horrible murders of the residents of
Jewish settlements and towns in no way validate the Obama agreement. It
is a bloodthirsty and primitive reaction that must be smashed.
