Report: Soros Pledged $1 Million to Pro-Hamas Group in Gaza
Left-wing billionaire philanthropist George Soros’s Open Society Foundations reportedly pledged $1 million in grants to an anti-Israel group in Gaza that has held events with officials from Hamas.
The Washington Examiner‘s Gabe Kaminsky reported Thursday (original links):
In its own telling, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights exists “to promote respect for and protection of human rights,” particularly in Palestinian territories. Public records tell another story: Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, which is accusing Israel of genocide for retaliating against Hamas after its Oct. 7 attack last year and calling on the United Nations and other bodies to investigate the Jewish state, hosts events with terrorists and is led by people with sprawling connections to Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
But to Soros, these ties do not appear to pose an issue. His $25 billion left-wing Open Society Foundations grantmaking network “is proud to be among the many international funders of Al Mezan, alongside the European Union and governments including Sweden and the Netherlands,” OSF spokesman Jonathan Kaplan told the Washington Examiner.
…
The checks to Al Mezan underscore how the Soros-backed OSF has long helped keep the lights on for sympathizers and allies of terrorists attacking Israel. Soros, 93, is Jewish and a Holocaust survivor.
THERE IS NO GREATER DANGER TO AMERICA THAN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF LYING GAMER PARASITE LAWYERS!
Obama ‘jumps in’
In an article entitled “Obama jumps in to help Biden defeat Trump again,” CNN national affairs correspondent, Jeff Zeleny, and his equally impressionable cohort, CNN White House correspondent MJ Lee, wrote that sources told them that “Obama and Biden speak with regularity, and the former president remains in direct contact with some top White House officials, including Biden’s chief of staff, Jeff Zients, who worked in the Obama administration.”
According to close advisers, Obama “has lent an occasional hand to Biden since the current president’s reelection announcement.” Lent an occasional hand? Joe Biden needs more than a hand. To “defeat Trump again,” from now until November, Obama is going to pretend, he’s lending the star of “Weekend at Biden’s” an “occasional hand”? Meanwhile, Joe is unable to utter a coherent sentence without pharmaceutical support or shuffle his way across a stage without a Visiting Angel’s assistance. Then again, Barack Obama is the embodiment of political sleight of hand and skillfully administered subterfuge and will likely do anything to ensure himself another four years of administering the death knell to the “fundamentally transformed” nation that he seeks to change.
It’s no secret that Obama is the puppet master pulling Joe “Marionette” Biden’s strings. Michelle’s and Barry’s recent hop, skip, and jump from Kalorama to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn’t very different from what they undoubtedly do every day. So, rather than mosey over to Joe’s in his usual slippers and pajama bottoms, to maintain optics and make the junket appear to be a rare White House “working visit,” Obama spiffed himself up for the powwow.
Rest assured that in 2024, Slickster Soetoro will resurrect his tried-and-true strategy by ramping up the predictable cautionary tale that the margin between Trump and Biden will be razor-thin. If he decides to do that, he might have to explain why, if Joe has done such a bang-up job, a loser like Trump would be nipping at Biden’s heels.
Back in 2016, a Politico article reported that
President Barack Obama went into the final stretch of the 2016 campaign warning that Donald Trump is within range of winning, urging voters — particularly black voters, whose turnout is lagging — to see the Republican nominee as running an un-American, inhumane racist campaign that must be stopped.
Then, by some stroke of unexpected luck, Biden went on to garner the most presidential votes in American history. How could such a brilliant strategist like Barack have been so woefully wrong?
Speaking with total confidence and full assurance,
Jim Messina, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager who has been serving as a close adviser to the Biden reelection campaign, told CNN that his former boss plans to do whatever he can to help Biden secure a second term at the White House.
Double-yellow-highlighter emphasis on Obama will “do whatever he can” to magically ensure a confused octogenarian secures another four years in the White House. Rallying the troops, Obama has already begun calling for an “all-hands-on-deck” effort by Democrats. The question for America is, whose hands will be on the deck? Illegal aliens, ACORN-impersonating college students, mail basket rearrangers, BLM, and Red Chinese computer geeks?
To begin the 2024 indoctrination, in an upcoming campaign ad, the former president shamefully tries to convince Biden-weary Americans that what is bad is good: “We have the chance to do even more, but that only happens if we send Joe and Kamala back to the White House in November. So, we’ve got to keep working.”
Unfortunately, Obama’s idea of “working” involves dodgy tactics that embrace things like deceitfulness, stirring up chaos, and stoking animosity, as well as advancing cognitive dissonance and gaslighting.
The big Obama/Biden prop-up kicks off at Radio City Music Hall on Holy Thursday. Democrat shill and Trump-hater Stephen Colbert will be there, pretending to moderate a “rare” unscripted conversation with two ex-presidents — one who can’t keep his drawers on (hide the Rockettes) and another who wouldn’t recognize the truth if he stumbled over it.
As Christians all over the world anticipate Good Friday, at Radio City Music Hall, Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Broadway stars Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele, Mindy Kaling, and Ben Platt will be at the event supporting policies that are the antithesis of everything Easter stands for. The only ones missing from the mega-star event will be Stevie Wonder and his new kidney. Tickets to attend range from $225 for the nosebleed section to $50,000 for the well heeled. For those willing to shell out the big bucks, Annie Leibovitz will be on hand to photograph gushing sycophants with the three wrecking balls, Clinton, Obama, and Biden.
Cue the violins. This valiant effort is being promoted as an “extraordinary moment in American history as a sitting president is locked in a bitter fight to keep his predecessor from returning to the White House.” If truth were to actually be told, Obama is secretly the “sitting president,” and Trump is the third-term predecessor threatening the Marxist makeover the community organizer has worked so hard to establish these past 16 years.
Playing along with the script, a senior strategist who has worked closely with Obama and Biden anonymously told CNN, that “there are limits to what Obama can do. The burden to win this race is still on President Biden.” No need to worry: Just like the last time, at the last nanosecond, Biden will miraculously hit it out of the park in every swing state and accomplish a second unprecedented feat never before realized in American history.
Meanwhile, as N.Y. attorney general Letitia James tries desperately to bankrupt $6.5 billion man Donald Trump, Obama has already hauled in $15 million in grassroots money. According to CNN reporters, “Obama has no plans to hit the stump aggressively until the fall, when early voting begins, following a pattern he has adopted since leaving office.” On behalf of Biden, as leaves turn amber, the radical leftist will stake out potential voters by relentlessly dissing Israel, demonizing Vladimir Putin, and falsely depicting infanticide as birth control.
What are Obama’s plans from now ’til November? In addition to traveling the country and motivating black and Latino voters by reigniting racial animosity, the former president will probably be diligently working to wrest as many “pieces of pie” as he can from faithful minions who would submit themselves to Clockwork Orange-style aversion therapy if he asked them to.
In the end, at the White House dining table sit-down, Obama likely reassured both Bidens that in the months before the election, he wouldn’t be around much. Instead, to steer the Bitanic toward an unmerited victory, Obama will probably be busying himself strategizing with Black Panther poll watchers and securing bargain-basement billy clubs. Then, on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Obama can personally visit polling stations. Once inside, he can hand out 10x10 sheets of autographed brown kraft paper to Democrat poll workers who’d prefer blocking the sun from blinding their eyes while explaining to disappointed Republican voters why the voting machines suddenly stopped working.

Biden’s Iran Policy Is an Existential Threat
If the United States slid suddenly into the blazing abyss of hell, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s prayers would be answered. The ayatollah is Iran’s “spiritual leader and its highest authority — he has the final say over all government matters in the country.” His rhetorical ethos and fervent prayer is “death to America,” which he recognizes as the “great Satan.” This is the liturgy and policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Democrat politicians reimagine their Iranian counterparts as Ivy League liberals instead of missile-firing, drone-flying, weapons-smuggling terrorists who promise death to America. The Obama administration negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which lifted oil sanctions and delivered billions of dollars to Iran in return for an agreement that Iran wouldn’t produce nuclear weapons for ten years — the blink of an eye in historical terms. The agreement was negotiated while Iran was delivering improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in large volume to proxies in Iraq, killing and horrifically maiming thousands of American soldiers. Obama’s plan funded the IEDs, Hamas, Hezb’allah, the Houthis, drone manufacturing, and missile production, all helping Iran achieve its anti-American objectives.
President Trump canceled Obama’s nuclear deal in 2018 to take “additional actions to counter Iran’s malign influence and deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon.” Severe sanctions were placed on exports of Iranian oil. The Abraham Accords demonstrated a pragmatic foreign policy supporting peaceful coexistence between Arab states and Israel while further isolating Iran.
President Biden has attempted to renegotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. This has proven difficult, since Iran refuses to talk to him. Despite this, Biden has delivered huge sums of money to Iran. Biden wants Iranian oil delivered to international markets to reduce gasoline prices at home. To accomplish this, Trump’s sanctions have not been enforced by the Biden administration, resulting in “an Iranian gain of $26.3 to $29.5 billion” since Biden took office. In 2023, six billion dollars was released to Iran to be used for humanitarian purposes as a ransom for American hostages. Biden is now set to release $10 billion more to a regime that believes that funding terrorists is a humanitarian response to counter the Great Satan.
Robert Malley was “appointed Special Envoy for Iran on January 28, 2021. Under President Barack Obama he served as Special Assistant to the President, Senior Advisor to the President for the Counter-ISIL campaign, and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf Region in 2015-2016 and, before that, as Senior Director for the Gulf Region and Syria before joining the National Security Council staff in February 2014.” It also appears that Malley helped place Iranian agents in the State and Defense departments while he was negotiating with his buddies in Iran.
Democrats fund Iran and its terrorist proxies while Iran develops nuclear weapons under Biden’s nose. The Biden-Obama administrations have either criminally naïve, unclever, anti-American, or all the above.
Since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, the U.S. has been reacting ineffectively to attacks by Iranian proxies. Soldiers manning outposts in the Middle East should be defended by the full capacity of the U.S. military. Any enemy force that attacks Americans soldiers should be destroyed. If Biden is not prepared to protect soldiers manning remote outposts, these soldiers should be withdrawn, and the outposts abandoned.
After three soldiers were killed in Jordan by Iranian proxies on January 28, U.S. government spokesperson Sabrina Singh indicated that, “the President has said, we don't seek conflict.” Soldiers manning outposts in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan have been attacked hundreds of times. These attacks have intensified since Hamas sucker-punched Israel on October 7. Houthis in Yemen have attacked international shipping in the Red Sea. Navy SEALs died circumventing shipments of Iranian weapons to Yemen. Iranian proxies killed hundreds and wounded thousands of American soldiers during the Iraq War. America has been in a conflict with Iran for decades, regardless of what President Biden wants or Ms. Singh tells the press.
Senator Lindsey Graham called for U.S. forces to destroy oil infrastructure inside Iran. This would be a bold move. Biden and his Democrat handlers wouldn’t consider this for two reasons: they aren’t bold people, and oil prices would surge north of $100/bbl. the day after the attack. Higher gasoline prices in an inflationary economy would be bad politics in an election year. Biden has other options. He could attack drone, missile, and weapons factories in Iran. This would impact Iranian proxies and Russian soldiers fighting with Iranian weapons in Ukraine.
There are reports that Iran can produce nuclear weapons in a matter of weeks. The U.S. must face the possibility that Iran already has a nuclear weapon. Would Iran use nuclear weapons? Only the ayatollah knows for sure, but one thing is certain: countries don’t spend billions of dollars developing weapons to not use them.
Biden should focus his attention on protecting American soldiers. On February 2, Biden ordered attacks on Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria. A couple of days later, the U.S. attacked the Houthis in Yemen. Biden should allow the military to engage in tactics to destroy any enemy force in the region that threatens Americans. Attacks against Iranian territory should be considered strategically.
For decades, American politicians in both parties have warned that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and missiles to deliver them. Does Iran already have nuclear weapons? If so, what can be done to neutralize its capacity to use them? The U.S. and its allies should meet and decide how best to proceed. There are options:
· Destroy Iran’s nuclear research, development, and production capabilities.
· Leave the ayatollah to his own devices.
Don’t be surprised if a government spokesperson takes the stage someday soon and announces that Iran has successfully tested a nuclear weapon. Any decision an American president makes at that time will become much more difficult. The ayatollah’s threats will be taken more seriously. The security of the American people will be diminished.
This is not a suggestion to change the regime in Iran. The Iranian people should choose their own government. A nation’s capacity to wage war on the United States and its allies can be neutralized without winning the hearts and minds of its people and reimagining the nation as a Western democracy. The purpose of America’s government is not to spread democracy abroad, but to protect the security and interests of its people.
While the State Department frets over microaggressions or pronoun choices, Iran is destabilizing the Middle East and working frantically to develop atom bombs. When selecting political candidates this year, Americans should consider candidates for the House, Senate, and president that will engage pragmatically with Iran, which may already have nuclear weapons. In the meantime, Biden continues to fund the ayatollah’s work.
Joe Biden continues to undermine national security for America, and countries around the world
By Jack Hellner
We constantly hear the Biden administration lecturing Israel about how they should soften up their attacks in Gaza, and for the need for a ceasefire with Hamas.
Hamas, along with other terrorist organizations supported by Iran, have pledged to wipe Israel off the map, but Israel is portrayed as a villain for wanting to wipe these terrorists off the map.
The administration, which includes a lot of Obama holdovers, has over the years, built up Iran’s finances and helped the terrorist organizations themselves:
Biden Empowered Iran Proxies Attacking US Forces and Threatening Wider War Against Israel
Not only has the president empowered Iran by relaxing former President Donald Trump’s sanctions on the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, but he has also empowered Iran’s proxies through various geopolitical moves that make war more likely. Biden is not alone; previous administrations have directed funds to ostensible U.S. allies in the region, funds that likely contribute to the proxies’ forces.
Biden has repeatedly told Iran to stop but strangely, the terroristic regime hasn’t listened. Trump put maximum pressure on Iran and devastated its finances by using economic sanctions to target the regime’s main source of revenue (oil). From Reuters:
As Trump’s sanctions bite, Iran’s oil exports slide further in June
Iranian crude exports have dropped so far in June to 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) or less after the United States tightened the screw on Tehran’s main source of income, industry sources said and tanker data showed, deepening global supply losses.
The United States reimposed sanctions on Iran in November after pulling out of a 2015 nuclear accord between Tehran and six world powers. Aiming to cut Iran’s sales to zero, Washington in May ended sanctions waivers to importers of Iranian oil.
Now four months after Iran supported Hamas, Iran’s oil exports are 300% higher (and the price much higher) than they were under Trump:
Iran’s exports of crude oil grew by roughly 50% last year to a five-year high of about 1.29 million barrels per day, with the vast majority going to China, helping to prevent a sharp increase in prices triggered by conflict in the Middle East.
And, as you could expect, the exports are mostly going to China, a nation which also hates America, but one that the Biden administration relies on for most of the minerals needed to build expensive, impractical, inefficient, unreliable electric cars powered by a flammable pollutant, which Biden wants to force Americans to buy.
As the brilliant Biden administration reportedly looks for peace in the Middle East while trying to protect Hamas and other terrorist organizations, it appears as though he has vetoed a few options for peace in Ukraine, including one deal right after the war started.
Why didn’t the public hear about these ceasefire offers, that the Biden administration blocked, in Ukraine? That would seem to be an important piece of information when the administration is essentially asking for a blank check:
U.S. repeatedly blocked Ukraine peace deals; is it rethinking its strategy yet?
It is clear that the U.S. and its allies were out to sabotage possibilities for peace immediately after the Russian invasion. Were it not for their interference, the current war could have ended in early March 2022—about a week after it started. Thanks to Arakhamia, we now have confirmation of this fact.
Also, from Reuters:
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion of a ceasefire in Ukraine to freeze the war was rejected by the United States after contacts between intermediaries, three Russian sources with knowledge of the discussions told Reuters.
So they blocked peace deals while demanding a blank check from Americans to fund the war. Anyone who dares want accountability for the money spent in Ukraine is falsely called a Putin puppet or supporter. The talking points are repeated endlessly.
I see that Putin has endorsed Biden for president and it is no surprise:
Russian President Vladimir Putin openly expressed his preference for President Joe Biden as a better choice for the White House than former President Donald Trump. During a recent interview, he indicated that it would be easier for Russia to deal with Washington with Biden in the Oval Office and downplayed concerns about the president’s age and mental acuity.
Obama and Biden repeatedly have appeased Putin. Obama told Russia he would be more flexible if he were reelected in 2012, and he certainly was. When Putin attacked Ukraine, Obama refused requests from Ukraine for weapons to appease Putin.
When Biden was (s)elected he reversed Trump’s sanctions on the gas pipeline to Germany, and Biden’s energy policies have jacked up the price of crude oil by almost 100% from $40 per barrel when Biden took office to almost $80 today. The crude oil price was low during Trump’s years and has been much higher while Biden has been in charge. Putin must be thankful for all that extra money to finance his aggression and ambition.
And who wouldn’t want a president like Biden who trashes Trump for telling NATO countries to fulfill their obligation to spend more for their own defense. Putin loves it when European countries spend little to defend themselves.
Anyone who believes that China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea or any country that relies on oil for the bulk of their income gives a hoot about their carbon footprint should have their head examined; the oil producers are laughing all the way to the bank. (They also love it when Biden continually says that the greatest existential threat to the world is either Trump and his supporters or climate change.)
Any president or candidate who believes that a hypothetical few degree temperature rise, or Republican voters who want to make America great again are the greatest threat instead of enemies like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, doesn’t have their priorities straight and should not be allowed to destroy our great country.
These types of politicians are especially dangerous when they invite people from around the world, with little or no vetting to cross our border.
I can see the foreign leaders licking their chops as they watch the U.S. military lose recruits as woke brass concentrate on DIE, pronouns, and electrifying military vehicles instead of doing their job to build and maintain the strongest defense necessary to protect the American people.
Our enemies are laughing at us. They are building their military while the Bidenites worry about using “problematic” gendered language here:
As Global Conflicts Rage, Blinken Lays Down the Law on Gender Pronouns for State Department Employees
Problematic terms like ‘manpower,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen’ and even ‘mother/father,’ ‘son/daughter,’ and ‘husband/wife’ should be avoided.
And here:
Biden’s State Department Unveils ‘Equity Action Plan’ to Make Diplomacy More ‘Equitable’
I wonder why the military is having trouble meeting recruitment targets.
The choice gets easier every day. Vote for either the candidate that Putin and our media support or vote for Trump, who kept energy prices much cheaper and therefore the world much safer.

Antony Blinken, Iranian Tool
Is there a U.S. enemy that the Biden administration doesn't take orders from?
November 28, 2023 by Bruce Bawer 10 Comments
Under George W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy was nothing to write home about. White House advisors who sought to use 9/11 as an excuse to remake the Middle East – but who had absolutely no understanding of Islam – got us into deadly, expensive wars that ended up accomplishing nothing. Bush himself kept insisting that we weren’t at war with Islam – which he called, either foolishly or dishonestly, a “religion of peace” – but with “terror,” a meaningless formulation that doomed us from the start.
But at least Bush and his people weren’t actively trying to subvert America. Under Obama and again under Obama’s puppet, Biden, things have been different. Obama’s grotesquely fawning praise of Islam in his 2009 speech at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University set the tone. So did his scandalous bow, in the same year, to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The previous year, quoting the Muslim call to prayer – including the Islamic profession of faith – Obama had called it “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
So Obama’s enthusiasm for such otherwise inexplicable initiatives as the Iran deal made sense. Ditto his palpable hostility toward Israel.
One of the Obama administration’s top foreign-policy figures was Antony Blinken, who during Obama’s first term served as Biden’s national security advisor and, during Obama’s second term, was deputy national security advisor and then deputy secretary of state. His pedigree was striking. In a 2021 article for Commentary, the estimable Ruth R. Wisse wrote about Antony’s paternal grandfather, M.H. Blinken, a proud Jew and ardent backer of Israel, and about M.H.’s two sons, Donald, who became ambassador to Hungary, and Alan, who became ambassador to Belgium. According to Wisse, Donald and Alan’s devotion to American and Jewish interests gave way over the years, alas, to a more internationalist disposition.
Antony was Donald’s son, but grew up mostly in the home of his stepfather, Samuel Pisar, about whom he was wont to tell a moving story: Pisar, a Polish Jew who was the only child in his school to survive the Holocaust, spent four years in concentration camps and then, at the end of the war, escaping from “a death march into the woods in Bavaria,” encountered a tank. “He ran to the tank, the hatch opened, an African-American GI looked down at him. He got down on his knees and said the only three words that he knew in English that his mother taught him before the war, ‘God bless America.’” In the version of this story quoted by Wisse, Antony Blinken concludes: “That’s who we are. That’s what America represents to the world, however imperfectly.”
Tellingly, however, Antony Blinken, as Wisse points out, seems never to have talked publicly about about his paternal grandfather, M.B., who loved Israel and warned against “pandering to Arab ‘sensibilities.’” Why not? Because, in Wisse’s words, Antony became, like his father and uncle, “a committed internationalist, Europeanist, and, like his father, a Democratic Party loyalist.” As a devoted Obama man, he showed every sign of being glad to implement, and defend, the most firmly anti-Israeli American foreign policy ever.
Following the Trump interregnum, Biden became president, and named Blinken secretary of state. Blinken had been in office only a few months when calls came for him to resign over the disastrously botched Afghanistan withdrawal. As Josh Hammer wrote in the New York Post at the time, Blinken went on all the Sunday morning network shows and repeated an outrageous lie: “This is manifestly not Saigon” – a reference of course, to the 1975 fall of South Vietnam. No, it was worse than Saigon. To quote Hammer, “Blinken was not just wrong on the Saigon comparison — he was horribly, incontrovertibly wrong on everything related to the Afghanistan pullout.”
And he’d known better. He’d known that the Taliban was moving into Kabul very quickly, and that a full withdrawal would cause Kabul to collapse. But he ignored that information. “Resign, Tony,” demanded Hammer.
But Blinken didn’t leave. Then, this past July, there was a new call for him to quit. In a joint statement, the Republican secretaries of state of six states – Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wyoming – asserted that if Blinken had had something to do with the cockamamie October 2020 letter in which 51 ex-intelligence officials dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation, he should resign immediately.
Blinken denied any connection to the letter, and again kept his job.
Then came October 7.
To the surprise of many Americans, many Israelis, many Arabs, and a whole lot of political leaders and diplomats around the world, the Biden Administration responded to the Hamas massacres with a solid declaration of support for Israel. But even before Israel struck back, the folks at Foggy Bottom were disgruntled over Biden’s lack of what diplomats like to call nuance. And after Israel’s Gaza operation commenced, the mood in Blinken’s shop grew even angrier. On October 20, an anonymous U.S. official was quoted as saying that a “mutiny” was “brewing” at all levels of the State Department over Biden’s support for Israel. On November 18, the BBC reported that Biden was facing “an extraordinary level of criticism from within his own administration,” with functionaries at State registering their outrage via internal memos, and with some younger officials using pro-Palestinian language that “echo[ed] the rhetoric of young political activists.” The BBC cited Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, “a former US diplomat who is now president of the Middle East Policy Council,” to the effect that “the chorus of dismay has led to “significant shifts in US language and approach” since the Hamas invasion.
On November 19, in an article entitled “Blinken’s Diabolical Plan,” Mark Levin went a great deal further, declaring explicitly that Blinken was “exploiting the war against Israel to destroy the existing State of Israel by using pressure, threats, blackmail, leaks, the media, diplomatic backstabbing, the Arab states, the E.U. and the U.N.” A sweeping, and startling, charge. Levin quoted from a November 13 memo in which Blinken reassured colleagues that “we believe Palestinian people’s voices and aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza. We believe in Palestinian-led governance of Gaza, with Gaza unified with the West Bank.”
Right, because the people of Gaza have shown themselves to be so wonderfully capable of self-government. These are the people who voted Hamas into power, who cheered the October 7 atrocities, and who tell pollsters now, by a large margin, that they still support Hamas. These are, moreover, people who have been brainwashed to hate Jews since infancy. The appalling condition of Gaza, even before the Israelis began reducing it to rubble, testified not only to Hamas’s wholesale misdirection of international aid to military uses but to the determination of most Gazans to wallow in hate rather than build up something resembling a real society.
“Israelis and Palestinians,” Blinken went on to say in his memo, must end up “living side by side.” Yes, and the lion shall lie down with the lamb. “With the Blinken plan,” Levin observes, “Israel will not survive, certainly not for long. This has been the plan since Barack Obama was president and Blinken was deputy secretary of state. John McCain was 100% right when he went to the Senate floor to excoriate Blinken and refused to vote for his confirmation as deputy secretary of state.”
The remarks by McCain to which Levin refers were delivered on December 16, 2014. Preserved on C-SPAN, they make for remarkable viewing. McCain, speaking for 24 minutes, summed up the disaster of Obama’s foreign policy – among them the folly of Benghazi, the insanity of the Iran deal, and the failure to prevent Bassad’s slaughter of Syrians and Putin’s invasion of Crimea – then zeroed in on Blinken, who’d made statements (for example, about the level of violence in Iraq) that were “divorced from reality”; whose determination to withdraw from Afghanistan on a specific date would lead to disaster (seven years later, McCain would be proven right); and who was personally responsible for crushing the popular Iranian movement to remove the murderous mullahs.
That’s not all. In a sensational October 2 article in the Tablet, Lee Smith reported on developments, most of which postdate McCain’s j’accuse, that probably have the late Arizona senator rolling in his grave. The thrust of Smith’s article is that, according to Iranian government emails, Biden’s envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, has in fact been secretly working with the Iranian mullahs to ensure that they, in effect, determine Biden’s Iran policy. Aiding in this nefarious effort were Malley’s protégé Ariane Tabatabai, whom he helped place at State and then at Defense, and a phalanx of Iranian American academics who were on the payroll of an official of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and who began as “outside ‘experts’” purportedly advising the U.S. government before being named to high-level posts in the U.S. government.
You couldn’t make it up if you tried. And even before Smith’s article appeared, it was obvious that something was fishy about Malley and his crew. Last year the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), which opposes the mullahs, wrote to Blinken urging that he (1) adopt a new Iran policy driven by concern for freedom and human rights in Iran and (2) replace Malley. Even then it was clear to these liberty-loving Iranians that Malley’s priorities were way off. Needless to say, Blinken ignored the NUFDI’s request.
Anyway, the bottom line of Smith’s piece – which is far more elaborate and detailed than I’ve been able to indicate here – is that under Obama and then under Biden, many top officials at State were taking orders from the enemy. This, in itself, is nothing new. Back in the day, there were Stalinists in the State Department, among them Alger Hiss, whose innocence any number of Democrats went to their graves professing. It was Joe McCarthy, who tried to expose this treachery, who went down in history as the heavy. But at least Hiss and his ilk tried to cover their tracks. The presence of Iranian operatives in the Obama and Biden administrations could almost, it appears, have been described as an open secret.
Indeed, Smith suggests that the White House knew what Malley was up to and approved. For under Biden, as under Obama, Iran’s interests were America’s interests: the White House wanted to protect the mullahs and their nuke program. Smith concludes by saying that it’s time to find out why this is the case. But do we really have to ask? If Obama is pro-Iran, it’s because he hates America and Israel and loves Islam. If Biden, the current nominal president, is pro-Iran, it’s because he’s Obama’s puppet. And if so many people at State and even at the Pentagon are pro-Iran, it’s because they’re relatively recent graduates of elite universities where they learned to see America and Israel as evil oppressors and the mullahs as innocent victims.
In any case, why should we be surprised that Obama and Biden are partial to Iran? We already knew that the Biden family was paid off big time by both China and Ukraine. We already knew that the Clintons, who concocted the Russiagate hoax, were themselves, in fact, cozy with the Russians. Since the Democrats who run our government are already in thrall to our other major enemies, why not Iran, too?
Aside from which, well, let’s face it. Even in its best days, the State Department was largely a congregation of clowns – a bunch of Ivy League brats who looked down on the ordinary citizens of their own country while viewing even representatives of the most savage foreign regimes as charmingly exotic and essentially harmless. After all, even Hamas officials don’t decapitate you when you’re sitting across from them at a negotiating table. They may not partake of the cocktails at a cocktail reception, but they can seem eminently clubbable when they’re schmoozing you for giant pallets of cash.
Yes, the idiots at State know in detail what Hamas did to those kibbutz residents and Negev partygoers on October 7, but such events, in a sense, aren’t entirely real to them. Their world is the eminently civilized world of jet-set diplomacy. It’s a world in which you can very quickly come to believe that whereas the trucker in Arkansas or the farmer in Iowa is a hopelessly unsophisticated rube, the envoy from Tehran or Beijing is perfectly refined – a person who is very much like yourself, and with whom (you convince yourself) you could easily work out all the planet’s problems if only the pesky riffraff would keep out of it.

Western intellectuals in a Soros-backed think tank are all in for promoting Iran's interests

The Iranian regime does not solely advance its warmongering through employing a radical force like Hamas, or Hezbollah in Lebanon, or the Houthis in Yemen, with millions of dollars in payments and logistical support.
It also tries to influence policymaking in various European and American media and decision-making institutions. Iran does this to prevent any effort to halt to its massacres of the Iranian people, and to stop any efforts to block its warmongering, and any effort to end its construction of a nuclear bomb.
These advocates of appeasement also push economic interests in trade with Iran, while at the same time strongly condemning the wave of executions!
Recently, in an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, Ali Vaez, a so-called Iran expert, said that if we put too much pressure on the Iranian regime because of the devastating war in the Middle East, this regime would move farther towards building a nuclear bomb. Ali Vaez works within the Brussels-based, Soros-backed, International Crisis Group as its Iran Project Director, one of the few think tanks that have close relations with the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Alex Soros sits on its board of directors.
The Iran Influence Network
Recently, a large number of emails discovered by two media outlets, the American Semafor, and the Farsi-language Iran International TV broadcast, show that Tehran's cooperation with the International Crisis Group was formed through the Center for Iranian Studies, which is affiliated with the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
These emails show that in the years 2013 and 2014, Crisis Group analysts were promoting the positions of the Iranian government, even when they contradicted the positions of the Obama administration. These emails reveal that the two had signed an agreement that was never made public. These documents well demonstrate that the International Crisis Group has played a significant role in nuclear negotiations and the lifting of sanctions on Iran for nearly a decade, consistently making recommendations to the Obama-, Biden-, and Trump administrations.
In their investigative report published in October, Semafor and Iran International clarified that Ali Vaez and his colleague Dina Esfandiary were part of an influence network formed and directed by Tehran.
Reports show that in 2013, a network of analysts outside Iran was formed under the title "Iran Experts Plan" to increase Iran's influence on the political scene. Although Vaez has defended his presence in this network, calling the group informal, memoirs of [Iran's Foreign Minister] Zarif and documents from the Iranian Foreign Ministry show how Tehran has benefited from members of this network and the International Crisis Group to advance its nuclear diplomacy.
According to obtained documents, initial negotiations between the International Crisis Group and the Political Studies Center began in 2013.
At that time, Robert Malley was responsible for the Middle East and North Africa at the International Crisis Group. Emails show that Malley was able to go to Iran for the first time through network connections. In 2014, Malley entered the Obama administration to advance nuclear negotiations with Iran. Documents show that while Malley was in the Obama administration, he continued to use Vaez to send messages to Iran.
Malley became the president and CEO of the International Crisis Group in 2017 and was appointed as Biden's special envoy on Iran in 2020.
However, following recent investigations into him, his security clearance was revoked. The reason has not yet been announced, but did his relationships with Iran go beyond official and turn him into an Iranian regime pawn? No one knows, but the sudden cessation of his duties fuels such speculations.
Despite these revelations, Vaez still presents himself, wittingly or not, as a proponent of the Iranian regime's narrative on the Middle East crisis and the nuclear program. He has gone to the White House at least nine times last year to discuss Middle East and Iran issues with relevant officials.
The time has come for Europe and America to pay attention to the Iranian people and their unequivocal demand to overthrow this regime, instead of investing in the illusionary equation that by giving concessions, the regime will come to its senses and stop domestic suppression, warmongering, terrorism, and the nuclear program. The only guarantee for peace and stability in the region, free from war, bloodshed, and an arms race, is a democratic, secular, and republican Iran—an outcome that the Iranian people are determined to achieve.
Contrast this with Joe Biden who was, until recently, universally favorably depicted, but not blasphemously worshipped. He’s being cynically used, a rapidly spoiling meat puppet whose political usefulness is nearly expired, a tragic victim of elder abuse. Even so, if he can be drug into a fourth Obama term, his handlers will be delighted to keep propping him up. He can be controlled. MIKE McDANIEL
Obama ‘jumps in’
In an article entitled “Obama jumps in to help Biden defeat Trump again,” CNN national affairs correspondent, Jeff Zeleny, and his equally impressionable cohort, CNN White House correspondent MJ Lee, wrote that sources told them that “Obama and Biden speak with regularity, and the former president remains in direct contact with some top White House officials, including Biden’s chief of staff, Jeff Zients, who worked in the Obama administration.”
According to close advisers, Obama “has lent an occasional hand to Biden since the current president’s reelection announcement.” Lent an occasional hand? Joe Biden needs more than a hand. To “defeat Trump again,” from now until November, Obama is going to pretend, he’s lending the star of “Weekend at Biden’s” an “occasional hand”? Meanwhile, Joe is unable to utter a coherent sentence without pharmaceutical support or shuffle his way across a stage without a Visiting Angel’s assistance. Then again, Barack Obama is the embodiment of political sleight of hand and skillfully administered subterfuge and will likely do anything to ensure himself another four years of administering the death knell to the “fundamentally transformed” nation that he seeks to change.
It’s no secret that Obama is the puppet master pulling Joe “Marionette” Biden’s strings. Michelle’s and Barry’s recent hop, skip, and jump from Kalorama to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn’t very different from what they undoubtedly do every day. So, rather than mosey over to Joe’s in his usual slippers and pajama bottoms, to maintain optics and make the junket appear to be a rare White House “working visit,” Obama spiffed himself up for the powwow.
Rest assured that in 2024, Slickster Soetoro will resurrect his tried-and-true strategy by ramping up the predictable cautionary tale that the margin between Trump and Biden will be razor-thin. If he decides to do that, he might have to explain why, if Joe has done such a bang-up job, a loser like Trump would be nipping at Biden’s heels.
Back in 2016, a Politico article reported that
President Barack Obama went into the final stretch of the 2016 campaign warning that Donald Trump is within range of winning, urging voters — particularly black voters, whose turnout is lagging — to see the Republican nominee as running an un-American, inhumane racist campaign that must be stopped.
Then, by some stroke of unexpected luck, Biden went on to garner the most presidential votes in American history. How could such a brilliant strategist like Barack have been so woefully wrong?
Speaking with total confidence and full assurance,
Jim Messina, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager who has been serving as a close adviser to the Biden reelection campaign, told CNN that his former boss plans to do whatever he can to help Biden secure a second term at the White House.
Double-yellow-highlighter emphasis on Obama will “do whatever he can” to magically ensure a confused octogenarian secures another four years in the White House. Rallying the troops, Obama has already begun calling for an “all-hands-on-deck” effort by Democrats. The question for America is, whose hands will be on the deck? Illegal aliens, ACORN-impersonating college students, mail basket rearrangers, BLM, and Red Chinese computer geeks?
To begin the 2024 indoctrination, in an upcoming campaign ad, the former president shamefully tries to convince Biden-weary Americans that what is bad is good: “We have the chance to do even more, but that only happens if we send Joe and Kamala back to the White House in November. So, we’ve got to keep working.”
Unfortunately, Obama’s idea of “working” involves dodgy tactics that embrace things like deceitfulness, stirring up chaos, and stoking animosity, as well as advancing cognitive dissonance and gaslighting.
The big Obama/Biden prop-up kicks off at Radio City Music Hall on Holy Thursday. Democrat shill and Trump-hater Stephen Colbert will be there, pretending to moderate a “rare” unscripted conversation with two ex-presidents — one who can’t keep his drawers on (hide the Rockettes) and another who wouldn’t recognize the truth if he stumbled over it.
As Christians all over the world anticipate Good Friday, at Radio City Music Hall, Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Broadway stars Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele, Mindy Kaling, and Ben Platt will be at the event supporting policies that are the antithesis of everything Easter stands for. The only ones missing from the mega-star event will be Stevie Wonder and his new kidney. Tickets to attend range from $225 for the nosebleed section to $50,000 for the well heeled. For those willing to shell out the big bucks, Annie Leibovitz will be on hand to photograph gushing sycophants with the three wrecking balls, Clinton, Obama, and Biden.
Cue the violins. This valiant effort is being promoted as an “extraordinary moment in American history as a sitting president is locked in a bitter fight to keep his predecessor from returning to the White House.” If truth were to actually be told, Obama is secretly the “sitting president,” and Trump is the third-term predecessor threatening the Marxist makeover the community organizer has worked so hard to establish these past 16 years.
Playing along with the script, a senior strategist who has worked closely with Obama and Biden anonymously told CNN, that “there are limits to what Obama can do. The burden to win this race is still on President Biden.” No need to worry: Just like the last time, at the last nanosecond, Biden will miraculously hit it out of the park in every swing state and accomplish a second unprecedented feat never before realized in American history.
Meanwhile, as N.Y. attorney general Letitia James tries desperately to bankrupt $6.5 billion man Donald Trump, Obama has already hauled in $15 million in grassroots money. According to CNN reporters, “Obama has no plans to hit the stump aggressively until the fall, when early voting begins, following a pattern he has adopted since leaving office.” On behalf of Biden, as leaves turn amber, the radical leftist will stake out potential voters by relentlessly dissing Israel, demonizing Vladimir Putin, and falsely depicting infanticide as birth control.
What are Obama’s plans from now ’til November? In addition to traveling the country and motivating black and Latino voters by reigniting racial animosity, the former president will probably be diligently working to wrest as many “pieces of pie” as he can from faithful minions who would submit themselves to Clockwork Orange-style aversion therapy if he asked them to.
In the end, at the White House dining table sit-down, Obama likely reassured both Bidens that in the months before the election, he wouldn’t be around much. Instead, to steer the Bitanic toward an unmerited victory, Obama will probably be busying himself strategizing with Black Panther poll watchers and securing bargain-basement billy clubs. Then, on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Obama can personally visit polling stations. Once inside, he can hand out 10x10 sheets of autographed brown kraft paper to Democrat poll workers who’d prefer blocking the sun from blinding their eyes while explaining to disappointed Republican voters why the voting machines suddenly stopped working.

How Obama Pulls Biden's Strings
By Peter Olsson
Barack Obama and his “Hope and Change” for America represented a political Trojan Horse phenomenon. Joe Biden was Obama’s choice for his vice president for eight years of his Trojan Horse presidency. Joe Biden’s presidency has been an Obama Trojan Horse II with less subtle, more blunt messages of political persuasion and policy formation.
Obama, through clever political manipulation, presidential dictates, and eloquent speechmaking brought a seductive liberal, progressive, socialistic utopian vision to America. Obama used sophisticated Alinsky-style tactics to construct his Trojan Horse. He has tried to change America from within by distorting our political system. According to Obama, we are not an exceptional country. We are in Obama’s mind merely another tribe in his vision of where the best history of the collective human village is going.
Joe Biden trumpets Obama’s propaganda slogans of “social justice” vaunted as America’s true democratic values. Obama and now Biden both seduce and are pampered and protected by the American mainstream media which suspends vigorous investigative reporting about Hunter Biden’s promoting ‘the Biden brand” for alleged political influence peddling and financial gain for Biden family members.
Joe Biden has created a third term for Obama’s propaganda domain labelled as “social justice” and “our American democratic values,” really Obama-Biden’s version. Biden has added climate change as his anti-fossil fuel campaign that destroys our energy independence and brings American security and military power down a peg.

The Democrat party: who are they?
Just who are the members of the Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) Party? How do their beliefs differ from those of normal Americans?
I write “D/s/c” as an umbrella acronym for the Democrat Party, which is largely devoured and directed by its socialist and communist-leaning members. It also encompasses various anarchist and fascist—fascists are leftists—branches such as BLM, Antifa and other charming social organizations, though they’re a bit more overt in their destructive designs. Their view of politicians is at once worshipful and cynical. They tend to see and speak of them in messianic terms as they did and do with Barack Obama. He’s “The One,” and “The Lightbringer.” Google “Obama halo” and you’ll find an endless supply of photos and other images of Obama wearing a halo. He's been depicted as a pseudo-Hindu god of death, and in saint-like iconography. One magazine interposed him over a cross in time for Easter, and he often used our troops as worshipful stage props. Even now, his followers proclaim him the most brilliant man ever to have lived, and he continues to brilliantly damage America.

Contrast this with Joe Biden who was, until recently, universally favorably depicted, but not blasphemously worshipped. He’s being cynically used, a rapidly spoiling meat puppet whose political usefulness is nearly expired, a tragic victim of elder abuse. Even so, if he can be drug into a fourth Obama term, his handlers will be delighted to keep propping him up. He can be controlled.
D/s/cs tend not to be overtly religious. Their political beliefs are their faith, and in true communist style, there can be no greater power than the Party, which is their secular faith. This largely explains their increasingly overt hostility toward, and persecution of, Christians. This too is projection. They see Christians as deadly threats, so believe Christians feel the same and will act on those feelings. Thus has the FBI been surveilling Catholics who appreciate the Latin Mass, branding them “Radical Traditional Catholics.” Thus were innumerable Christians arrested for trying to attend church during Covid lockdowns.
Essential to understanding them is knowing many of them think themselves morally, intellectually, and politically superior to normal Americans. They're the self-imagined elite. They really do denigrate the denizens of “Flyover Country”—their term--that vast, cultural wasteland between the enlightened coasts where Deplorables live their pathetic, uninformed, meaningless little lives.
Because they are superior beings, their political beliefs and policies are perfect--non-falsifiable. They cannot fail and no evidence can prove them wrong. When those policies inevitably fail, the failure is either ignored, indignantly denied, or blamed on their generosity in allowing their opponents to keep living to oppose those policies. Perhaps the policies haven’t been in force long enough for their wonders to manifest, they haven’t been imposed on Deplorables good and hard enough, or as always, not nearly enough money has been spent. Failure is impossible, but inadequate messaging may be reluctantly admitted. Doubling down on failure, and the more destructive the better, is their status quo.
They value ideological purity in voting and all else, and virtually always vote in lockstep. They are masters of warping language to their benefit and invent new narratives to suit their transitory political needs. Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are related narrative systems that reflect their political methods of class/identity warfare where there are oppressors—white Americans—and the oppressed—everyone else. Individuals don't matter.
Joe Biden infamously observed “we believe in truth over facts.” Among their current truths is America was founded on slavery, is irredeemably racist, and is the source of all the world’s evils. All white people are white supremacists, and all political opponents are domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, and existential threats to “our democracy,” their intended tyranny of the majority.
Among their favored oppressed are criminals--the more violent and depraved the better--and their policies have turned our blue cities into third world war zones. Other oppressed are the millions of illegal aliens they’re importing. Non-D/s/c Americans have so disappointed them. They intend to abolish them and import their replacements. That many of them are criminals, terrorists, pedophiles, slavers and masses who can’t speak the language and have no skills with which to support themselves is a feature rather than a bug. They’re worried about the illegal avalanche, but not because of the damage it’s doing to America. They’re afraid of losing power, afraid, despite their best Trump Derangement Syndrome efforts, their election fraud protocols might not prevail.
Some of them still possess a conscience, a modicum of morality and decency. They know what they’re doing is wrong, but their politics appeal to the basest emotions and drives, among them, power, and power corrupts. Pursuing power, they’re becoming increasingly afraid of Donald Trump—of normal Americans—and desperate people do desperate things.

Biden’s Iran Policy Is an Existential Threat
If the United States slid suddenly into the blazing abyss of hell, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s prayers would be answered. The ayatollah is Iran’s “spiritual leader and its highest authority — he has the final say over all government matters in the country.” His rhetorical ethos and fervent prayer is “death to America,” which he recognizes as the “great Satan.” This is the liturgy and policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Democrat politicians reimagine their Iranian counterparts as Ivy League liberals instead of missile-firing, drone-flying, weapons-smuggling terrorists who promise death to America. The Obama administration negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which lifted oil sanctions and delivered billions of dollars to Iran in return for an agreement that Iran wouldn’t produce nuclear weapons for ten years — the blink of an eye in historical terms. The agreement was negotiated while Iran was delivering improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in large volume to proxies in Iraq, killing and horrifically maiming thousands of American soldiers. Obama’s plan funded the IEDs, Hamas, Hezb’allah, the Houthis, drone manufacturing, and missile production, all helping Iran achieve its anti-American objectives.
President Trump canceled Obama’s nuclear deal in 2018 to take “additional actions to counter Iran’s malign influence and deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon.” Severe sanctions were placed on exports of Iranian oil. The Abraham Accords demonstrated a pragmatic foreign policy supporting peaceful coexistence between Arab states and Israel while further isolating Iran.
President Biden has attempted to renegotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. This has proven difficult, since Iran refuses to talk to him. Despite this, Biden has delivered huge sums of money to Iran. Biden wants Iranian oil delivered to international markets to reduce gasoline prices at home. To accomplish this, Trump’s sanctions have not been enforced by the Biden administration, resulting in “an Iranian gain of $26.3 to $29.5 billion” since Biden took office. In 2023, six billion dollars was released to Iran to be used for humanitarian purposes as a ransom for American hostages. Biden is now set to release $10 billion more to a regime that believes that funding terrorists is a humanitarian response to counter the Great Satan.
Robert Malley was “appointed Special Envoy for Iran on January 28, 2021. Under President Barack Obama he served as Special Assistant to the President, Senior Advisor to the President for the Counter-ISIL campaign, and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf Region in 2015-2016 and, before that, as Senior Director for the Gulf Region and Syria before joining the National Security Council staff in February 2014.” It also appears that Malley helped place Iranian agents in the State and Defense departments while he was negotiating with his buddies in Iran.
Democrats fund Iran and its terrorist proxies while Iran develops nuclear weapons under Biden’s nose. The Biden-Obama administrations have either criminally naïve, unclever, anti-American, or all the above.
Since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, the U.S. has been reacting ineffectively to attacks by Iranian proxies. Soldiers manning outposts in the Middle East should be defended by the full capacity of the U.S. military. Any enemy force that attacks Americans soldiers should be destroyed. If Biden is not prepared to protect soldiers manning remote outposts, these soldiers should be withdrawn, and the outposts abandoned.
After three soldiers were killed in Jordan by Iranian proxies on January 28, U.S. government spokesperson Sabrina Singh indicated that, “the President has said, we don't seek conflict.” Soldiers manning outposts in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan have been attacked hundreds of times. These attacks have intensified since Hamas sucker-punched Israel on October 7. Houthis in Yemen have attacked international shipping in the Red Sea. Navy SEALs died circumventing shipments of Iranian weapons to Yemen. Iranian proxies killed hundreds and wounded thousands of American soldiers during the Iraq War. America has been in a conflict with Iran for decades, regardless of what President Biden wants or Ms. Singh tells the press.
Senator Lindsey Graham called for U.S. forces to destroy oil infrastructure inside Iran. This would be a bold move. Biden and his Democrat handlers wouldn’t consider this for two reasons: they aren’t bold people, and oil prices would surge north of $100/bbl. the day after the attack. Higher gasoline prices in an inflationary economy would be bad politics in an election year. Biden has other options. He could attack drone, missile, and weapons factories in Iran. This would impact Iranian proxies and Russian soldiers fighting with Iranian weapons in Ukraine.
There are reports that Iran can produce nuclear weapons in a matter of weeks. The U.S. must face the possibility that Iran already has a nuclear weapon. Would Iran use nuclear weapons? Only the ayatollah knows for sure, but one thing is certain: countries don’t spend billions of dollars developing weapons to not use them.
Biden should focus his attention on protecting American soldiers. On February 2, Biden ordered attacks on Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria. A couple of days later, the U.S. attacked the Houthis in Yemen. Biden should allow the military to engage in tactics to destroy any enemy force in the region that threatens Americans. Attacks against Iranian territory should be considered strategically.
For decades, American politicians in both parties have warned that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and missiles to deliver them. Does Iran already have nuclear weapons? If so, what can be done to neutralize its capacity to use them? The U.S. and its allies should meet and decide how best to proceed. There are options:
· Destroy Iran’s nuclear research, development, and production capabilities.
· Leave the ayatollah to his own devices.
Don’t be surprised if a government spokesperson takes the stage someday soon and announces that Iran has successfully tested a nuclear weapon. Any decision an American president makes at that time will become much more difficult. The ayatollah’s threats will be taken more seriously. The security of the American people will be diminished.
This is not a suggestion to change the regime in Iran. The Iranian people should choose their own government. A nation’s capacity to wage war on the United States and its allies can be neutralized without winning the hearts and minds of its people and reimagining the nation as a Western democracy. The purpose of America’s government is not to spread democracy abroad, but to protect the security and interests of its people.
While the State Department frets over microaggressions or pronoun choices, Iran is destabilizing the Middle East and working frantically to develop atom bombs. When selecting political candidates this year, Americans should consider candidates for the House, Senate, and president that will engage pragmatically with Iran, which may already have nuclear weapons. In the meantime, Biden continues to fund the ayatollah’s work.
Joe Biden continues to undermine national security for America, and countries around the world
By Jack Hellner
We constantly hear the Biden administration lecturing Israel about how they should soften up their attacks in Gaza, and for the need for a ceasefire with Hamas.
Hamas, along with other terrorist organizations supported by Iran, have pledged to wipe Israel off the map, but Israel is portrayed as a villain for wanting to wipe these terrorists off the map.
The administration, which includes a lot of Obama holdovers, has over the years, built up Iran’s finances and helped the terrorist organizations themselves:
Biden Empowered Iran Proxies Attacking US Forces and Threatening Wider War Against Israel
Not only has the president empowered Iran by relaxing former President Donald Trump’s sanctions on the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, but he has also empowered Iran’s proxies through various geopolitical moves that make war more likely. Biden is not alone; previous administrations have directed funds to ostensible U.S. allies in the region, funds that likely contribute to the proxies’ forces.
Biden has repeatedly told Iran to stop but strangely, the terroristic regime hasn’t listened. Trump put maximum pressure on Iran and devastated its finances by using economic sanctions to target the regime’s main source of revenue (oil). From Reuters:
As Trump’s sanctions bite, Iran’s oil exports slide further in June
Iranian crude exports have dropped so far in June to 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) or less after the United States tightened the screw on Tehran’s main source of income, industry sources said and tanker data showed, deepening global supply losses.
The United States reimposed sanctions on Iran in November after pulling out of a 2015 nuclear accord between Tehran and six world powers. Aiming to cut Iran’s sales to zero, Washington in May ended sanctions waivers to importers of Iranian oil.
Now four months after Iran supported Hamas, Iran’s oil exports are 300% higher (and the price much higher) than they were under Trump:
Iran’s exports of crude oil grew by roughly 50% last year to a five-year high of about 1.29 million barrels per day, with the vast majority going to China, helping to prevent a sharp increase in prices triggered by conflict in the Middle East.
And, as you could expect, the exports are mostly going to China, a nation which also hates America, but one that the Biden administration relies on for most of the minerals needed to build expensive, impractical, inefficient, unreliable electric cars powered by a flammable pollutant, which Biden wants to force Americans to buy.
As the brilliant Biden administration reportedly looks for peace in the Middle East while trying to protect Hamas and other terrorist organizations, it appears as though he has vetoed a few options for peace in Ukraine, including one deal right after the war started.
Why didn’t the public hear about these ceasefire offers, that the Biden administration blocked, in Ukraine? That would seem to be an important piece of information when the administration is essentially asking for a blank check:
U.S. repeatedly blocked Ukraine peace deals; is it rethinking its strategy yet?
It is clear that the U.S. and its allies were out to sabotage possibilities for peace immediately after the Russian invasion. Were it not for their interference, the current war could have ended in early March 2022—about a week after it started. Thanks to Arakhamia, we now have confirmation of this fact.
Also, from Reuters:
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion of a ceasefire in Ukraine to freeze the war was rejected by the United States after contacts between intermediaries, three Russian sources with knowledge of the discussions told Reuters.
So they blocked peace deals while demanding a blank check from Americans to fund the war. Anyone who dares want accountability for the money spent in Ukraine is falsely called a Putin puppet or supporter. The talking points are repeated endlessly.
I see that Putin has endorsed Biden for president and it is no surprise:
Russian President Vladimir Putin openly expressed his preference for President Joe Biden as a better choice for the White House than former President Donald Trump. During a recent interview, he indicated that it would be easier for Russia to deal with Washington with Biden in the Oval Office and downplayed concerns about the president’s age and mental acuity.
Obama and Biden repeatedly have appeased Putin. Obama told Russia he would be more flexible if he were reelected in 2012, and he certainly was. When Putin attacked Ukraine, Obama refused requests from Ukraine for weapons to appease Putin.
When Biden was (s)elected he reversed Trump’s sanctions on the gas pipeline to Germany, and Biden’s energy policies have jacked up the price of crude oil by almost 100% from $40 per barrel when Biden took office to almost $80 today. The crude oil price was low during Trump’s years and has been much higher while Biden has been in charge. Putin must be thankful for all that extra money to finance his aggression and ambition.
And who wouldn’t want a president like Biden who trashes Trump for telling NATO countries to fulfill their obligation to spend more for their own defense. Putin loves it when European countries spend little to defend themselves.
Anyone who believes that China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea or any country that relies on oil for the bulk of their income gives a hoot about their carbon footprint should have their head examined; the oil producers are laughing all the way to the bank. (They also love it when Biden continually says that the greatest existential threat to the world is either Trump and his supporters or climate change.)
Any president or candidate who believes that a hypothetical few degree temperature rise, or Republican voters who want to make America great again are the greatest threat instead of enemies like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, doesn’t have their priorities straight and should not be allowed to destroy our great country.
These types of politicians are especially dangerous when they invite people from around the world, with little or no vetting to cross our border.
I can see the foreign leaders licking their chops as they watch the U.S. military lose recruits as woke brass concentrate on DIE, pronouns, and electrifying military vehicles instead of doing their job to build and maintain the strongest defense necessary to protect the American people.
Our enemies are laughing at us. They are building their military while the Bidenites worry about using “problematic” gendered language here:
As Global Conflicts Rage, Blinken Lays Down the Law on Gender Pronouns for State Department Employees
Problematic terms like ‘manpower,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen’ and even ‘mother/father,’ ‘son/daughter,’ and ‘husband/wife’ should be avoided.
And here:
Biden’s State Department Unveils ‘Equity Action Plan’ to Make Diplomacy More ‘Equitable’
I wonder why the military is having trouble meeting recruitment targets.
The choice gets easier every day. Vote for either the candidate that Putin and our media support or vote for Trump, who kept energy prices much cheaper and therefore the world much safer.

Antony Blinken, Iranian Tool
Is there a U.S. enemy that the Biden administration doesn't take orders from?
November 28, 2023 by Bruce Bawer 10 Comments
Under George W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy was nothing to write home about. White House advisors who sought to use 9/11 as an excuse to remake the Middle East – but who had absolutely no understanding of Islam – got us into deadly, expensive wars that ended up accomplishing nothing. Bush himself kept insisting that we weren’t at war with Islam – which he called, either foolishly or dishonestly, a “religion of peace” – but with “terror,” a meaningless formulation that doomed us from the start.
But at least Bush and his people weren’t actively trying to subvert America. Under Obama and again under Obama’s puppet, Biden, things have been different. Obama’s grotesquely fawning praise of Islam in his 2009 speech at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University set the tone. So did his scandalous bow, in the same year, to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The previous year, quoting the Muslim call to prayer – including the Islamic profession of faith – Obama had called it “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
So Obama’s enthusiasm for such otherwise inexplicable initiatives as the Iran deal made sense. Ditto his palpable hostility toward Israel.
One of the Obama administration’s top foreign-policy figures was Antony Blinken, who during Obama’s first term served as Biden’s national security advisor and, during Obama’s second term, was deputy national security advisor and then deputy secretary of state. His pedigree was striking. In a 2021 article for Commentary, the estimable Ruth R. Wisse wrote about Antony’s paternal grandfather, M.H. Blinken, a proud Jew and ardent backer of Israel, and about M.H.’s two sons, Donald, who became ambassador to Hungary, and Alan, who became ambassador to Belgium. According to Wisse, Donald and Alan’s devotion to American and Jewish interests gave way over the years, alas, to a more internationalist disposition.
Antony was Donald’s son, but grew up mostly in the home of his stepfather, Samuel Pisar, about whom he was wont to tell a moving story: Pisar, a Polish Jew who was the only child in his school to survive the Holocaust, spent four years in concentration camps and then, at the end of the war, escaping from “a death march into the woods in Bavaria,” encountered a tank. “He ran to the tank, the hatch opened, an African-American GI looked down at him. He got down on his knees and said the only three words that he knew in English that his mother taught him before the war, ‘God bless America.’” In the version of this story quoted by Wisse, Antony Blinken concludes: “That’s who we are. That’s what America represents to the world, however imperfectly.”
Tellingly, however, Antony Blinken, as Wisse points out, seems never to have talked publicly about about his paternal grandfather, M.B., who loved Israel and warned against “pandering to Arab ‘sensibilities.’” Why not? Because, in Wisse’s words, Antony became, like his father and uncle, “a committed internationalist, Europeanist, and, like his father, a Democratic Party loyalist.” As a devoted Obama man, he showed every sign of being glad to implement, and defend, the most firmly anti-Israeli American foreign policy ever.
Following the Trump interregnum, Biden became president, and named Blinken secretary of state. Blinken had been in office only a few months when calls came for him to resign over the disastrously botched Afghanistan withdrawal. As Josh Hammer wrote in the New York Post at the time, Blinken went on all the Sunday morning network shows and repeated an outrageous lie: “This is manifestly not Saigon” – a reference of course, to the 1975 fall of South Vietnam. No, it was worse than Saigon. To quote Hammer, “Blinken was not just wrong on the Saigon comparison — he was horribly, incontrovertibly wrong on everything related to the Afghanistan pullout.”
And he’d known better. He’d known that the Taliban was moving into Kabul very quickly, and that a full withdrawal would cause Kabul to collapse. But he ignored that information. “Resign, Tony,” demanded Hammer.
But Blinken didn’t leave. Then, this past July, there was a new call for him to quit. In a joint statement, the Republican secretaries of state of six states – Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wyoming – asserted that if Blinken had had something to do with the cockamamie October 2020 letter in which 51 ex-intelligence officials dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation, he should resign immediately.
Blinken denied any connection to the letter, and again kept his job.
Then came October 7.
To the surprise of many Americans, many Israelis, many Arabs, and a whole lot of political leaders and diplomats around the world, the Biden Administration responded to the Hamas massacres with a solid declaration of support for Israel. But even before Israel struck back, the folks at Foggy Bottom were disgruntled over Biden’s lack of what diplomats like to call nuance. And after Israel’s Gaza operation commenced, the mood in Blinken’s shop grew even angrier. On October 20, an anonymous U.S. official was quoted as saying that a “mutiny” was “brewing” at all levels of the State Department over Biden’s support for Israel. On November 18, the BBC reported that Biden was facing “an extraordinary level of criticism from within his own administration,” with functionaries at State registering their outrage via internal memos, and with some younger officials using pro-Palestinian language that “echo[ed] the rhetoric of young political activists.” The BBC cited Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, “a former US diplomat who is now president of the Middle East Policy Council,” to the effect that “the chorus of dismay has led to “significant shifts in US language and approach” since the Hamas invasion.
On November 19, in an article entitled “Blinken’s Diabolical Plan,” Mark Levin went a great deal further, declaring explicitly that Blinken was “exploiting the war against Israel to destroy the existing State of Israel by using pressure, threats, blackmail, leaks, the media, diplomatic backstabbing, the Arab states, the E.U. and the U.N.” A sweeping, and startling, charge. Levin quoted from a November 13 memo in which Blinken reassured colleagues that “we believe Palestinian people’s voices and aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza. We believe in Palestinian-led governance of Gaza, with Gaza unified with the West Bank.”
Right, because the people of Gaza have shown themselves to be so wonderfully capable of self-government. These are the people who voted Hamas into power, who cheered the October 7 atrocities, and who tell pollsters now, by a large margin, that they still support Hamas. These are, moreover, people who have been brainwashed to hate Jews since infancy. The appalling condition of Gaza, even before the Israelis began reducing it to rubble, testified not only to Hamas’s wholesale misdirection of international aid to military uses but to the determination of most Gazans to wallow in hate rather than build up something resembling a real society.
“Israelis and Palestinians,” Blinken went on to say in his memo, must end up “living side by side.” Yes, and the lion shall lie down with the lamb. “With the Blinken plan,” Levin observes, “Israel will not survive, certainly not for long. This has been the plan since Barack Obama was president and Blinken was deputy secretary of state. John McCain was 100% right when he went to the Senate floor to excoriate Blinken and refused to vote for his confirmation as deputy secretary of state.”
The remarks by McCain to which Levin refers were delivered on December 16, 2014. Preserved on C-SPAN, they make for remarkable viewing. McCain, speaking for 24 minutes, summed up the disaster of Obama’s foreign policy – among them the folly of Benghazi, the insanity of the Iran deal, and the failure to prevent Bassad’s slaughter of Syrians and Putin’s invasion of Crimea – then zeroed in on Blinken, who’d made statements (for example, about the level of violence in Iraq) that were “divorced from reality”; whose determination to withdraw from Afghanistan on a specific date would lead to disaster (seven years later, McCain would be proven right); and who was personally responsible for crushing the popular Iranian movement to remove the murderous mullahs.
That’s not all. In a sensational October 2 article in the Tablet, Lee Smith reported on developments, most of which postdate McCain’s j’accuse, that probably have the late Arizona senator rolling in his grave. The thrust of Smith’s article is that, according to Iranian government emails, Biden’s envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, has in fact been secretly working with the Iranian mullahs to ensure that they, in effect, determine Biden’s Iran policy. Aiding in this nefarious effort were Malley’s protégé Ariane Tabatabai, whom he helped place at State and then at Defense, and a phalanx of Iranian American academics who were on the payroll of an official of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and who began as “outside ‘experts’” purportedly advising the U.S. government before being named to high-level posts in the U.S. government.
You couldn’t make it up if you tried. And even before Smith’s article appeared, it was obvious that something was fishy about Malley and his crew. Last year the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI), which opposes the mullahs, wrote to Blinken urging that he (1) adopt a new Iran policy driven by concern for freedom and human rights in Iran and (2) replace Malley. Even then it was clear to these liberty-loving Iranians that Malley’s priorities were way off. Needless to say, Blinken ignored the NUFDI’s request.
Anyway, the bottom line of Smith’s piece – which is far more elaborate and detailed than I’ve been able to indicate here – is that under Obama and then under Biden, many top officials at State were taking orders from the enemy. This, in itself, is nothing new. Back in the day, there were Stalinists in the State Department, among them Alger Hiss, whose innocence any number of Democrats went to their graves professing. It was Joe McCarthy, who tried to expose this treachery, who went down in history as the heavy. But at least Hiss and his ilk tried to cover their tracks. The presence of Iranian operatives in the Obama and Biden administrations could almost, it appears, have been described as an open secret.
Indeed, Smith suggests that the White House knew what Malley was up to and approved. For under Biden, as under Obama, Iran’s interests were America’s interests: the White House wanted to protect the mullahs and their nuke program. Smith concludes by saying that it’s time to find out why this is the case. But do we really have to ask? If Obama is pro-Iran, it’s because he hates America and Israel and loves Islam. If Biden, the current nominal president, is pro-Iran, it’s because he’s Obama’s puppet. And if so many people at State and even at the Pentagon are pro-Iran, it’s because they’re relatively recent graduates of elite universities where they learned to see America and Israel as evil oppressors and the mullahs as innocent victims.
In any case, why should we be surprised that Obama and Biden are partial to Iran? We already knew that the Biden family was paid off big time by both China and Ukraine. We already knew that the Clintons, who concocted the Russiagate hoax, were themselves, in fact, cozy with the Russians. Since the Democrats who run our government are already in thrall to our other major enemies, why not Iran, too?
Aside from which, well, let’s face it. Even in its best days, the State Department was largely a congregation of clowns – a bunch of Ivy League brats who looked down on the ordinary citizens of their own country while viewing even representatives of the most savage foreign regimes as charmingly exotic and essentially harmless. After all, even Hamas officials don’t decapitate you when you’re sitting across from them at a negotiating table. They may not partake of the cocktails at a cocktail reception, but they can seem eminently clubbable when they’re schmoozing you for giant pallets of cash.
Yes, the idiots at State know in detail what Hamas did to those kibbutz residents and Negev partygoers on October 7, but such events, in a sense, aren’t entirely real to them. Their world is the eminently civilized world of jet-set diplomacy. It’s a world in which you can very quickly come to believe that whereas the trucker in Arkansas or the farmer in Iowa is a hopelessly unsophisticated rube, the envoy from Tehran or Beijing is perfectly refined – a person who is very much like yourself, and with whom (you convince yourself) you could easily work out all the planet’s problems if only the pesky riffraff would keep out of it.

Western intellectuals in a Soros-backed think tank are all in for promoting Iran's interests
By Hamid Enayat
The Iranian regime does not solely advance its warmongering through employing a radical force like Hamas, or Hezbollah in Lebanon, or the Houthis in Yemen, with millions of dollars in payments and logistical support.
It also tries to influence policymaking in various European and American media and decision-making institutions. Iran does this to prevent any effort to halt to its massacres of the Iranian people, and to stop any efforts to block its warmongering, and any effort to end its construction of a nuclear bomb.
These advocates of appeasement also push economic interests in trade with Iran, while at the same time strongly condemning the wave of executions!
Recently, in an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, Ali Vaez, a so-called Iran expert, said that if we put too much pressure on the Iranian regime because of the devastating war in the Middle East, this regime would move farther towards building a nuclear bomb. Ali Vaez works within the Brussels-based, Soros-backed, International Crisis Group as its Iran Project Director, one of the few think tanks that have close relations with the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Alex Soros sits on its board of directors.
The Iran Influence Network
Recently, a large number of emails discovered by two media outlets, the American Semafor, and the Farsi-language Iran International TV broadcast, show that Tehran's cooperation with the International Crisis Group was formed through the Center for Iranian Studies, which is affiliated with the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
These emails show that in the years 2013 and 2014, Crisis Group analysts were promoting the positions of the Iranian government, even when they contradicted the positions of the Obama administration. These emails reveal that the two had signed an agreement that was never made public. These documents well demonstrate that the International Crisis Group has played a significant role in nuclear negotiations and the lifting of sanctions on Iran for nearly a decade, consistently making recommendations to the Obama-, Biden-, and Trump administrations.
In their investigative report published in October, Semafor and Iran International clarified that Ali Vaez and his colleague Dina Esfandiary were part of an influence network formed and directed by Tehran.
Reports show that in 2013, a network of analysts outside Iran was formed under the title "Iran Experts Plan" to increase Iran's influence on the political scene. Although Vaez has defended his presence in this network, calling the group informal, memoirs of [Iran's Foreign Minister] Zarif and documents from the Iranian Foreign Ministry show how Tehran has benefited from members of this network and the International Crisis Group to advance its nuclear diplomacy.
According to obtained documents, initial negotiations between the International Crisis Group and the Political Studies Center began in 2013.
At that time, Robert Malley was responsible for the Middle East and North Africa at the International Crisis Group. Emails show that Malley was able to go to Iran for the first time through network connections. In 2014, Malley entered the Obama administration to advance nuclear negotiations with Iran. Documents show that while Malley was in the Obama administration, he continued to use Vaez to send messages to Iran.
Malley became the president and CEO of the International Crisis Group in 2017 and was appointed as Biden's special envoy on Iran in 2020.
However, following recent investigations into him, his security clearance was revoked. The reason has not yet been announced, but did his relationships with Iran go beyond official and turn him into an Iranian regime pawn? No one knows, but the sudden cessation of his duties fuels such speculations.
Despite these revelations, Vaez still presents himself, wittingly or not, as a proponent of the Iranian regime's narrative on the Middle East crisis and the nuclear program. He has gone to the White House at least nine times last year to discuss Middle East and Iran issues with relevant officials.
The time has come for Europe and America to pay attention to the Iranian people and their unequivocal demand to overthrow this regime, instead of investing in the illusionary equation that by giving concessions, the regime will come to its senses and stop domestic suppression, warmongering, terrorism, and the nuclear program. The only guarantee for peace and stability in the region, free from war, bloodshed, and an arms race, is a democratic, secular, and republican Iran—an outcome that the Iranian people are determined to achieve.

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 bottom line 2 is this: Barack Obama is a Communist. This was all an Obama operation. Why is anyone surprised that a communist (Obama) tried to subvert an election. That is what Communists do. It is Barack Obama and his people like Brennan and Clapper behaving to type. That's what Maduro does in Venezuela. That's what the Castro brothers did. That's what every communist and socialist nation does. THEY FIX ELECTIONS!!”
“Hillary kept a secret server overflowing with national security info which, more than likely, was hacked. June 28, 2016, on a Phoenix tarmac, Bill Clinton met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to seal a deal insuring Hillary would not be prosecuted.”
“Obama, of course, covered up his own role, depicting his presidency as eight years of heroic efforts to repair the damage caused by the 2008 financial crash. At the end of those eight years, however, Wall Street and the financial oligarchy were fully recovered, enjoying record wealth, while working people were poorer than before, a widening social chasm that made possible the election of the billionaire con man and Demagogue in November 2016.”

Here's What We Know About Alex Soros, Progressive Scion Taking Over His Father's Political Empire
George and Alex Soros (Twitter).
June 12, 2023
The Democratic megadonor George Soros has ceded control of his political empire to his son, Alexander Soros.
The succession plan was revealed Sunday, in a Wall Street Journal profile of the 37-year-old Soros scion. All eyes are now on Alex Soros as he prepares to take his father's place atop the country’s most powerful progressive political operation.
Here's what we know about the younger Soros.
He's ‘More Political’ Than His Pops
The younger Soros says he is "more political" than his 92-year-old father, the Democratic Party’s biggest donor.
Alex Soros has given tens of millions of dollars to Democrats over the years. He contributed $5.25 million to the Senate Majority PAC in 2016 and 2018. He contributed $721,300 to the Biden Victory Fund in 2020 and $350,000 to Hillary Clinton’s victory fund in 2016. Soros has given millions more to the DNC and other Democratic committees.
Alex Soros has not contributed as much to other political advocacy groups as his father has over the years. George Soros, through his Democracy PAC and Democracy PAC II, has contributed tens of millions of dollars to traditional political committees, as well as to advocacy groups like Planned Parenthood, MoveOn, and American Bridge. Both Soroses have contributed this election cycle to moderate Democratic senator Jon Tester (Mont.), considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents in 2024.
The elder Soros has also funded a network of left-wing prosecutors whose soft-on-crime policies have been blamed for surging crime and low police morale. In 2018, Alex Soros contributed $100,000 to help elect Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison, a progressive Democrat who faced allegations of domestic abuse and blamed police for damage sustained during the George Floyd riots.
His Money Opens Democratic Doors
Alex Soros’s extensive campaign giving appears to open doors for him to many senior Democratic lawmakers.
The younger Soros huddled with Vice President Kamala Harris last week and declared he was "Ridin’ with Biden" in a recent photo with President Biden. He has rubbed shoulders with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former President Barack Obama, according to his social media feeds.
He Spends A Lot of Time At the Biden White House
Alex Soros also appears to have open access to the White House, having visited at least 17 times during Biden’s tenure, according to visitor logs.
Most of those meetings have been with Biden’s political and domestic policy advisers, but Soros has had five meetings with Jon Finer, the principal deputy national security adviser.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that Soros met with Finer on the same day that Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva visited the White House. According to the Wall Street Journal, Soros met the left-wing Brazilian leader to advocate on behalf of the Open Society Foundations, his father’s philanthropy.
He Runs His Father's Left-Wing Nonprofit
Alex Soros took over in December as chairman of the board of Open Society Foundations, which pours hundreds of millions of dollars annually into progressive causes in the United States and around the world.
Open Society has backed groups that support the movement to defund the police and expand the Supreme Court, among other left-wing causes.
Alex Soros told the Journal he plans to use Open Society’s $25 billion war chest to fund the expansion of abortion and voting rights across the country.
He Lacks Dad's Business Savvy
Alex Soros does not appear to have his father’s business acumen, raising questions about the long term viability of his political empire. George Soros has amassed a fortune of around $7 billion, largely through his Soros Fund Management hedge fund.
Jonathan Soros, Alex’s older half-brother, was initially seen as the heir apparent to his father’s business and political empire, but the pair had a falling out over management style.
Alex Soros is an adviser to an apparel supply chain fund, Tau Management, funded by his father. Tau invests in apparel and textile factories in Asia in order to build "agile, sustainable manufacturing partners" to major apparel brands. The fund requires its partners to have a "strong and sincere commitment to [Equity, Sustainability, Governance]."
He Just Wants to Party
Before his ascent to the top of his father’s political empire, Alex Soros was better known for his semi-playboy lifestyle. According to the New York Post, Soros hosted celebrities at a $72 million Hamptons estate he rented in 2016, and has often been spotted hanging out with NBA players and supermodels.
Soros reportedly hired New York City club promoter Adam Spoont to recruit models to attend Soros’s house parties. Spoont’s success landed him an invitation to an Alex Soros fundraiser, where he was able to meet President Obama, according to Page Six.
His Father Has Been Accused of Domestic Abuse

The elder Soros's ex-girlfriend, Brazilian model Adriana Ferreyr, says Alex's dad once slapped and choked her while they were in bed. Ferreyr later sued George Soros for $50 million.
He pissed off Taylor Swift
Alex Soros led a consortium of investors who bought rights to Swift’s unreleased music for $330 million, drawing the ire of the pop superstar.
"It looks to me like Scooter Braun and his financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros, and the Soros family and The Carlyle Group, have seen the latest balance sheets and realized that paying $330 million for my music wasn't exactly a wise choice and they need money," Swift said in 2020. "In my opinion, just another case of shameless greed in the time of Coronavirus. So tasteless, but very transparent."

THE UNGREAT DIVISIONIST BARACK OBAMA AND HIS GODFATHER GEORGE SOROS
As Obama approaches his sixtieth birthday, the age at which Khrushchev struggled for control of the USSR and Mao launched his Great Leap Forward, two events that would require a good deal of historical editing, our American past is already being rewritten. Only those who are at least in their thirties will remember that there wasn’t a racial crisis before Barack Obama.
Obama and the Broken Nation He Made Come Of Age
A generation doesn’t remember life before the crises he created.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Barack Obama turns 60 over the summer. The AARP cover with Barry posing next to a basketball and a shelf of bestselling non-fiction books he hasn’t read can’t be too far away.
Once the symbol of youthful hipness, the former boss of Hope and Change now lectures “young people” on what they should be doing. His legacy is being carried forward by 78-year-old Biden and the 81-year-old Pelosi. That’s above the average age of 80 of the House Dem leadership.
The average age of the Biden cabinet is two years older than President Trump’s cabinet.
The gerontocratic technocracy uses AOC as its younger foil, but she’s been a stalking horse for Bernie Sanders who will hit the big 80 in the fall. The big donors behind the American Left are even older with George Soros due to hit 90 the same month Obama gets to 60. The even bigger reservoirs of cash flowing into the leftist machine are coming from the foundations of men who were born in the 19th century like Henry Ford, John D. MacArthur, and John D. Rockefeller.
That’s about right for a 19th century ideology whose followers keep trying to make it look young.
Youthful leftism is anarchic. It’s CHAZ, BLM, and Antifa. It’s open air heroin markets, smashed store windows, and political assassinations. Turning that anarchy into collectivism requires hysterical propaganda and rallies that appear anarchic, but are actually tightly controlled, ideas that seem edgy, but are actually the work of men who were born during the age of the steam.
If you think Bernie’s old, Karl Marx celebrated his 203rd birthday in May.
Obama’s policies have aged as badly as Marx, Biden, or their front man. But instead of moderating as they grow older, they only grow more radical. Obama equivocated on gay marriage, while Biden entirely erases the existence of women by calling them “birthing people”. Obama covertly weaponized the government against conservatives, while Biden is doing it openly. Everything from election rigging through H.R.1 to indoctrinating every government employee with critical race theory is happening more openly and blatantly under Biden.
Youthful leftist revolutions break the system while leftist gerentocrats impose the tyranny.
Making tyranny look like freedom requires hefty doses of chaos and outrage that make it appear that the system is being broken when it’s actually being built up. Or as George Orwell wrote in 1984, “One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.” The revolution is the thing it’s revolting against.
The end of history keeps arriving only to vanish like a mirage when the youth reach for it.
"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal," Obama told his followers. Two years later, he privately snapped, "What does he think I'm supposed to do? Put on my f------ Aquaman gear and swim down there myself with a wrench?"
Thirteen years have passed and if the planet has begun to heal, Democrats won’t admit it.
The moment of epochal change can never be allowed to arrive because it would interrupt the permanent crisis. Salvation is always here and also always out of reach. But there’s always a new generation available to be fooled again because they know the past doesn’t matter.
History is radically revised every generation not just for what it teaches, but for what it doesn’t.
A revisionist history work like the 1619 Project doesn’t just impose a radical new racist history, it displaces the past. Another revisionist history will come along to displace the 1619 Project because manufacturing history churn is vital to destroying any continuity with the past. All the academic lenses being swapped one for the other like a mad ophthalmologist leaves a new generation with a lot of theories, but no clue that they’re being indoctrinated into a lost cause.
The Left has no new ideas. Like Hollywood, it makes old ideas seem new by rebooting them, by making them appear hip and trendy, and by destroying a meaningful connection with the past. And that way audiences don’t realize they’re just seeing the same movie remade over again. What might be creative bankruptcy in a movie theater is a more seriously sisyphean problem described by Churchill as, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.”
But how does a new generation learn from a past that isn’t allowed to exist on its own terms?
Demonizing the past is a convenient way of obscuring it. The only thing students are taught about the past is that it was a horrible time, its people backward, its customs savage, its learning wicked, its institutions racist, and its ideas horrifying. In postmodern history, the past exists only as a cautionary tale gleaned for historical struggles that fit into the new narrative.
History is an incomplete present whose revolutions were never fully fulfilled. It’s a revolutionary story of a world ruled by villains until they were overthrown by the forces of good. And this revolution against history must continue until all of the past is negated by the present.
The destruction of statues and burning of books forces ‘presentism’ for the past to conform to the dogmas of the moment. The biggest problem with the past isn’t that it’s politically incorrect, but that it’s repeating itself. The Black Lives Matter movement transparently harkens back to the 70s. So do most of the radical social impulses in which the Left cloaks its real power agenda.
The revolutionary chaos is doomed to fail again, but each oscillation breaks the country more.
The social activism is window dressing. A proper Marxist regime has little use for militant minorities, feminism, gay rights, police defunding, transgender bathrooms, pipeline protests, abortion, or any of the other issues the radicals have been using to waste our time. If you doubt that, go look at how many of any of the above you can find in China, Cuba, or North Korea.
The Russian Futurists vowed to throw the art and literature of the past overboard from the “steamship of modernity”. But the Bolsheviks were not looking for disruptive art and when the revolution arrived, modern art was tossed overboard and the former revolutionaries settled down to producing socialist realism and recreating the art of the past for the Soviet Union.
After a brief permissive period, the Soviet Union criminalized homosexuality and insisted on traditional marriages and roles for women. Those feminists who resisted were soon shown their place with one of the more notorious free love figures being forcibly married off by Lenin.
The dictatorship had eclipsed the revolution and the past was quickly rewritten all over again.
As Obama approaches his sixtieth birthday, the age at which Khrushchev struggled for control of the USSR and Mao launched his Great Leap Forward, two events that would require a good deal of historical editing, our American past is already being rewritten. Only those who are at least in their thirties will remember that there wasn’t a racial crisis before Barack Obama.
And there hadn’t been such a crisis for a generation before he took power.
Our racial crisis is not a legacy of 1619, but of 2008. Obama’s victory was not a revolution against a crisis, but the revolution that created the crisis. To a new generation, the racial crisis is a permanent feature of life. They have always lived under the crisis and expect to always live under it. That is why critical race theory and white privilege rants have become so pervasive.
Without a generation coming of age in a world shaped by the toxic idea that all white people are evil and all minorities are victims, no one outside academic circles would have willingly accepted them. And if that generation seems all too easy to radicalize into supporting the most insane policies, that’s because it grew up in a world defined by the hysteria of manufactured crises.
The world as they know it is doomed by melting ice caps, the rich getting richer, and the genocide of black people at the hands of the police. Every radical program is backed by a sense of urgent crisis which is killing people and destroying the future. They can’t imagine a present without the crisis and don’t remember ever living in a world not defined by crisis.
As Obama gets closer to his AARP cover, a generation lives in the world that he made.
Like Obama, his radical political movement speaks endlessly about the past, but has no actual past. Its past is always being reinvented and retold through new narratives, but with no facts.
The Obama revolution has come and gone. We have skipped past it to the Soviet Union of Chernenko and Andropov, of gerontocrats building the tyranny with the beams of revolution. The decline is everywhere as the theories fail, the factories close, and the stores stand empty.
The youth are being rallied to cheer for the revolutionary tyranny of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer who are promising a new era in history no one believes in anymore. Since the election their cause is no longer free college, it’s federalizing elections through H.R.1.
Federalizing elections, eliminating the filibuster, and packing the Supreme Court are compelling issues in Washington D.C., but the regime plotting new coups has little to say to the ordinary people facing high prices for gas and bread. Land, Bread, and Peace has given way to a race for total power over the country as the revolution of Hope, Crisis and Change comes of age.
There’s no change without crisis, and without hope, there’s only hate.
The Soros Plan To Flip Legislatures For Redistricting Is Moving Forward
January 17, 2020
Daniel Greenfield
The question is are Republicans ready for it?
Democrats are readying a massive $50 million effort of their own to shape the next 10 years of elections by flipping state legislative chambers in places as red as Texas and West Virginia next November.
The plan, backed by Democratic megadonors like Donald Sussman and the Soros family as well as small-dollar donors giving online via ActBlue, represents a sea change for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, a former backwater in Democratic politics that has transformed as the party grappled with the importance of redistricting. In 2020, the last election before states redraw their political boundaries using new Census data, the winners of many state legislatures get the power to draw congressional lines that will last an entire decade.
Data that, thanks to Dem judges and Justice Roberts, will be fundamentally fraudulent.
In preparation, the DLCC has quadrupled its staff, partnered with a slew of other large Democratic groups including EMILY’s List and Barack Obama’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee, and planned to target as many as 14 states, according to plans shared first with POLITICO. The group will start by targeting one or more chambers in Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas, and potentially expand over the course of the election to target additional legislative chambers in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
The DLCC is chiefly targeting states where flipping just a handful of seats will give Democrats a seat at the governing table in 2021. Six target states are currently under full Republican control, with Democrats locked out of both the governorship and state legislative majorities. And the group is particularly interested in states where state lawmakers have absolute power over the congressional maps and the governor has little influence, like North Carolina.
Republicans have disclosed relatively few details about how they plan to win 2020’s pre-redistricting elections. Their central committee, the Republican State Leadership Committee — which helps elect lieutenant governors and other officeholders in addition to state legislators — recently announced it raised $19 million in 2019. The group has also recruited former House Speakers Paul Ryan, John Boehner and Newt Gingrich to help its efforts.
Why do I have an uneasy feeling about that last paragraph?
Soros-Linked Group Gets Six GOP Governors to Resettle More Refugees
A pro-mass immigration organization with links to billionaire George Soros has successfully lobbied six Republican governors to resettle more refugees in their states.
For Fiscal Year 2020, President Donald Trump will continue cutting refugee admissions by reducing former President Barack Obama’s refugee inflow by at least 80 percent. This reduction would mean a maximum of 18,000 refugees can be resettled in the U.S. between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020. This is merely a numerical limit and not a goal federal officials are supposed to reach.
Coupled with the refugee reduction, Trump signed an executive order that gives localities, counties, and states veto power over whether they want to resettle refugees in their communities.
Executives at World Relief and the Evangelical Immigration Table — an organization with links to the Soros-funded National Immigration Forum — have been lobbying governors across the country to bring more refugees to their states. So far, six Republican governors have signed off to resettle refugees in their states, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey.
The New York Times notes:
Jenny Yang, vice president for advocacy at World Relief, an evangelical agency whose work includes resettlement, has been steering an effort to lobby governors to keep their states open to refugees. [Emphasis added]
She said about 16 governors have submitted written consent, six of them Republicans. Gov. Doug Ducey, Republican of Arizona, agreed after receiving a letter supporting resettlement signed by 250 evangelical leaders. Gov. Greg Abbott, Republican of Texas, who leads the state that received the most refugees last year, has not yet offered his view, despite a plea from the mayor of Fort Worth to continue accepting refugees. [Emphasis added]
Refugee contractors, like the Lutheran Social Services organization, have deployed a campaign to get mayors, local officials, and governors to admit more refugees to their states. Those contractors’ budgets every year are reliant on ensuring that as many refugees are resettled across the U.S. as possible.
It remains unclear which six Republican governors, aside from Burgum and Ducey, have been successfully lobbied by the Soros-linked group.
This week, the Evangelical Immigration Table sent letters to the governors of California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin to ask them to bring refugees to their states.
The federally mandated refugee resettlement program has brought more than 718,000 refugees to the U.S. since January 2008 — a group larger than the entire state population of Wyoming, which has 577,000 residents. In the last decade, about 73,000 refugees have been resettled in California, 71,500 resettled in Texas, nearly 43,000 resettled in New York, and more than 36,000 resettled in Michigan.
Refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, according to the latest research. Over the course of five years, an estimated 16 percent of all refugees admitted will need housing assistance paid for by taxpayers.

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.
ICE Should Deport George Soros as a Nazi Collaborator

Soros Asked Obama to Investigate Somebody?
Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz says he has the proof.
February 18, 2020
Lloyd Billingsley
“But let me just ask you,” said Breitbart News editor Joel Pollack. “You said that George Soros asked Barack Obama to have his Justice Department investigate somebody?”
“We’re — that’s going to come out in a lawsuit in the near future,” responded Alan Dershowitz. “Yeah.”
“Wow, well, we look forward to hearing more about that new. . .”
“That’s not unusual,” Dershowitz said. “People whisper to presidents all the time. Presidents whisper to [the] Justice Department all the time. It’s very common. It’s wrong, whoever does it, but it’s common, and we shouldn’t think that it’s unique to any particular president. I have in my possession the actual 302 form [an FBI record of an interview], which documents this issue, and it will, at the right time, come out. But I’m not free to disclose it now because it’s a case that’s not yet been filed.”
That exchange appeared on Breitbart on Sunday and on Monday was quickly picked up by Lifezette, WND and other independent sites, with one headlining the story “Dershowitz
Blows Up Washington.” The Fox News story appeared about 5 p.m. Monday, but at this writing CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the establishment media have yet to weigh in.
By the end of the day, the target of the Soros-inspired investigation remained unknown. On the other hand, that was hardly the only intrigue surrounding George Soros, described by Pollack as a “billionaire left-wing financier.” As Matthew Vadum noted in the 2016 Frontpage article “Arrest George Soros,” there’s a bit more to the man.
“Soros, the billionaire speculator, is the preeminent funder of the activist Left in America,” Vadum explained, “which means he is the Number One funder of the domestic terrorism that is part and parcel of the Left.” Soros calls America “the main obstacle to a stable and just world order” and says European-style socialism “is exactly what we need.” Soros also funds “open-borders groups in order to corrode the nation’s culture and change its electorate.”
If this “radical ringleader” wants the president of the United States to investigate someone, that is a matter of some concern. In similar style, Soros invites inquiries such as John Solomon’s “US Embassy pressed Ukraine to drop probe of George Soros group during 2016 election,” in The Hill last March.
According to Solomon, the Obama administration pressured the Ukrainian government to back off its investigation of both the U.S. aid and anti-corruption groups such as AntAC. As it turned out, the group Ukrainian law enforcement was probing “was co-funded by the Obama administration and liberal mega-donor George Soros.” And it was collaborating with the FBI agents investigating then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
As Ukrainian officials told Solomon, the message to Ukraine’s prosecutors was clear: “Don’t target AntAC in the middle of an America presidential election in which Soros was backing Hillary Clinton to succeed another Soros favorite, Barack Obama.” After the Obama DOJ launched the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, “the State Department, Justice Department and FBI outsourced some of its work in Ukraine to groups funded by Soros.”
On the other hand, consider “The George Soros Conspiracy Theory at the Heart of the Ukraine Scandal,” by Dan Spinelli of the leftist Mother Jones. Soros here emerges a “liberal billionaire” and “a favorite bogeyman on the right due to his support for progressive causes at home and political reforms abroad.” What “turbocharged” Donald Trump’s interest in Ukraine was “specifically, the work of John Solomon” who “authored a series disputed articles about Joe Biden’s activities in Ukraine and Soros’ interactions with Obama administration officials.”
As for conspiracy theories, Spinelli says Solomon is a “longtime client” of Joseph DiGenova’s law firm. No word about the person Soros wanted the Obama DOJ to investigate, and why. Puzzled observers might wonder if POTUS 44 could stand some investigation his own self.
As the late Barry Rubin noted in Silent Revolution: How the Left Rose to Political Power and Cultural Dominance, on Obama’s watch tens of millions of Americans were “turned into anti-Americans.” The goal was “to convince Americans the exact opposite of what their experience proved: that the country had fundamentally failed and the old leftist solutions were the answer.” On the other hand, says Rubin, “not a single serious investigation was conducted about Obama’s earlier life.”
In Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, official biographer David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize winner, says the president’s defining Dreams from My Father is a novel and the author a composite character. And after some 800 pages Garrow cites a reporter that the president’s story isn’t exactly true. The novel was something that the former Barry Soetoro and David Axelrod put together, to avoid the “politically radioactive” Communist Frank Marshall Davis, who gets a lot of ink in the Dreams account.
Since Garrow left the key at the back door, we know the truth about the composite character president. We also know that the composite character and George Soros have a similar destructive vision for America. We don’t know the identity of the person Soros wanted the Obama DOJ to investigate, and why. When Alan Dershowitz gets around to filing his lawsuit, that revelation really could blow up Washington.
Alan Dershowitz: George Soros Asked Barack Obama to Investigate Undisclosed Person
Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Breitbart News Sunday this weekend that billionaire left-wing financier George Soros told then-President Barack Obama to investigate someone.
Dershowitz would not identify who, precisely, the target of the investigation was, but said that the name would soon emerge in in a lawsuit that had yet to be filed.

The revelation was so startling that this host had to double-check:
Q: But let me just ask you — you said that George Soros asked Barack Obama to have his Justice Department investigate somebody?
Dershowitz: We’re — that’s going to come out in a lawsuit in the near future. Yeah
Q: Wow, well, we look forward to hearing more about that new.
Dershowitz: That’s not unusual. That is not unusual. People whisper to presidents all the time. Presidents whisper to [the] Justice Department all the time. It’s very common. It’s wrong, whoever does it, but it’s common, and we shouldn’t think that it’s unique to any particular president. I have in my possession the actual 302 form [an FBI record of an interview], which documents this issue, and it will, at the right time, come out. But I’m not free to disclose it now because it’s a case that’s not yet been filed.
In addition, Dershowitz reflected on his experience in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, noting that his argument had been grotesquely distorted by CNN — so much so that he could, if he wanted to, sue the network.
CNN — and House impeachment managers — claimed Dershowitz said that the president can do whatever he wants to do, as long as he claims to have believed he was acting in the public interest. Dershowitz had specifically said that criminal-like behavior was indeed impeachable.
Dershowitz also said that former Trump associate Roger Stone deserved a new trial, given new revelations about the extreme political bias of the jury foreperson, who opposed both Trump and Stone.
Moreover, Dershowitz said that if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) won the Democratic presidential nomination, it might force him to leave the Democratic Party and campaign against him nationwide.
