Ultimately "palestine" is about Islamization

Siegel was shot in the hand and his ribs were broken during the Oct. 7 attack. His wounds weren't treated until he was freed more than a year later. He said Hamas also tried to convert him to Islam. He was beaten at random and without warning, sexually assaulted, forced to watch as other hostages were beaten and assaulted, starved and humiliated, forced to make Hamas videos, spat on and forcibly shaved. He said he was kept alone in a locked room for six months. Keith Siegel recounts his Hamas captivity to foreign diplomats, AJC membersDianne3000 (talk) 04:32, April 18, 2025 (EDT)

He is from NC.

Hostage, NC native Keith Siegel released by Hamas on mission to lobby Trump, Israel to reach deal to free remaining hostages - ABC11 Raleigh-Durham. After 484 days in Hamas captivity, former hostage Keith Siegel finds purpose in his new mission. WABC.

..."In tunnels 130 feet underground, barely being able to breathe, gasping for my breath, for our breath. Deprived of food, water, and sanitation."... "I was kicked by terrorists, I was spat on by terrorists, cursed, just out of the blue with nothing that I had done that might provoke that"...

Of the remaining hostages, five are Americans, but just one -- 20-year-old Edan Alexander of Tenafly, New Jersey -- is still alive.

When the traitor Judas hung himself, they cast lots to pick his apostollic replacement (Acts 1:12-26). With that in mind, "On betting markets so far on Tuesday, Pietro Parolin, the current Vatican's secretary of state, is the leading candidate to succeed Pope Francis. He is followed by Luis Antonio Tagle, the former archbishop of Manila, and Peter Turkson of Ghana, who would be the first Black pope in modern history." - The next pope’s identity is a mystery.

This book that I bought is an excellent book: Equality: The Impossible Quest by Professor Martin Van Creveld. Conservative (talk) 15:07, April 24, 2025 (EDT)

Book sounds interesting. Who is the author?Telling (talk)

Professor Martin Van Creveld's bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_van_Creveld

Creveld's book is very interesting. It does have about two sentences of evolutionist bunkum, but the book is a very solid book. So don't let two sentences of that book dissuade you from buying it.

Creveld also authored this book which looks very interesting: The Privileged Sex: "Ever since Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique back in 1963, all of us have been told that women are discriminated against, oppressed, exploited, and abused by men. The barrage of accusations is intense, relentless, and seems to have neither beginning nor end. But are the charges true? Do women really have a worse time of it than men? This volume, one of the very few in any language, takes on these questions head on. Roaming far and wide, it examines many aspects of the problem as it has presented itself from the time of ancient Egypt right down to today’s most advanced Western societies. To anyone accustomed to the tsunami of feminist claims and complaints, the answers will come as a surprise."

Crevel's Privileged Sex 2013 book does seem to have been insightful. If memory serves, more women now go to college than men (where they are indoctrinated in liberal/public universities). But maybe that is partly due to men going into the military and in professions that require brawn such as construction. Of course, men have more "Ma-Cheese-Mo" and that is why the GOP is more powerful now and the Democrats are in sad shape. :) One of the definitions of machismo is an exhilarating sense of power or strength.[4] :) Conservative (talk) 09:18, April 26, 2025 (EDT)

Trump to meet The Atlantic...

This should be something to look forward to.Telling (talk) 18:44, April 24, 2025 (EDT)

Because there are so many voters who are independents, Trump recognizes that it can be good to flood the information zone and that sometimes means being interviewed by liberal, moderate and conservative news sources. But you have to be skillful at being interviewed. But for conservatives, its often good to refuse to be interviewed by the press due to selective editing and/or dishonest reporters.

The Atlantic, like many publications, does have some good articles such as this one: The Peculiar Blindness of Experts. But it does lean left/liberal such as this article: Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs. Obviously, the unspoken propaganda is "Trump is Hitler! And Hitler loved tariffs! Tariffs are evil and bad!

The reality is that the strategic use of tariffs can result in good things happening as can be seen at: The REAL Reason the US Is Betting on Tariffs. Conservative (talk) 09:34, April 26, 2025 (EDT)

I just read The Atlantic is owned by Steve Jobs widow. Is that true? RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 23:26, April 26, 2025 (EDT)

• Read The Atlantic’s Interview With Donald Trump A conversation with the president about executive power, Signalgate, and 24-karat gold, By Jeffrey Goldberg, April 28, 2025. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 10:41, April 29, 2025 (EDT)

A week ago today Trump sat down with Jeff Goldberg. Today Mike Waltz gets canned. Looks like Trump is doing his own investigations. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 12:54, May 1, 2025 (EDT)

After the media went after Hegseth instead of Waltz, I'm convinced that Signalgate was no accident. My theory is Waltz had the conversation leaked on purpose hoping that it would lead to Hegseth being ousted. Why? Because while Hegseth may have his own interventionist tendencies, the neocon wing of the Trump's staff hate him for questioning some of their "party line," so they want him gone. Meanwhile, you have Hegseth staffers who have been fired for "leaking," only to go on Tucker Carlson and accuse their former colleagues of framing them for similar reasons. So now that Signalgate failed to get Hegseth himself fired, the neocons are using similar tactics against Hegseth's staffers so that he is surrounded by nobody but ideologues in the Pentagon. If they can't break him, they'll try to re-make him. Absolutely disgusting. Trump shouldn't have reassigned Waltz to the UN, he should've straight up fired him. He should also fire Rubio, and perhaps Bessent as well.--Geopolitician (talk) 18:09, May 1, 2025 (EDT)

Agree on Signalgate. I think they were going after Tulsi, as well.

As to Rubio serving as NatSec, that's a joke. The job of NatSec is in the White House Situation Room 24/7 while the president is sleeping etc., and the job of the Secretary of State is flying around the world all the time. The Secretary of State only returns to Washington for less than a week or so every month to report to Congress. So we're not being told the whole truth who in the White House right now is receiving information from Tulsi & Rubio daily, and briefing the president every morning (not that Trump ever had that as a priority, as other presidents have).

The fake polls by pro Sanders group...

Greenfield:

People really need to stop falling for these fake polls.

People are absolutely convinced that the vast majority Jews vote for and support Democrats. Where do those numbers come from? Mostly Democrat polls like this.... Currently, JLI is headed by Joel Rubin, “a founding Board Member of the Jewish Democratic Council of America; the founding Political Director of J Street; a surrogate for the Obama 2012 campaign; the national Jewish Outreach Director for the Sanders 2020 presidential campaign; and a member of the Jewish teams for the Biden-Harris 2020 and Harris-Walz 2024 campaigns.”

In short, a leftist anti-Israel activist who used to work for the Bernie ‘Destroy Israel” Sanders campaign.[6]Telling (talk) 18:03, April 25, 2025 (EDT)

I don't know if all of these polls are "fake". Some could just be incompetent or unreliable because they don't use polls based on likely voters which are more expensive to conduct. You have to be more ingenuous/flexible via indirect methods and use a wider variety of the types of polling to capture the hidden Trump/conservative voters which are more difficult to poll. For example, ask questions on how they think their neighbors are going to vote so the demonization of Trump is mitigated in the polling. Conservative (talk) 09:49, April 26, 2025 (EDT)

On the other hand, Steve Turley maintains that liberal/leftist polls purposefully falsify polls to raise funds and gain support (bandwagon effect), but then as the election nears, they have the polls be closer to the actual results so they are not totally embarrassed.

China is normally the largest export market for U.S. agricultural products. "It's a full-blown crisis already".

Trump announces a Total Blockade on Iranian Oil

"ALERT: All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW!

Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions.

They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form."

It's known that Communist China is the biggest buyer of Iranian oil since the pandemic days. [11]

• when you step back and look at the countries who import Iranian oil or petrochemicals, you will realize that Trump is going after three countries… India, China and Turkey, with China as the primary target.

However, here you see the blackmarket as the creation of collusion between governments. Now many conservative's confuse "government" with "legality". I can see we have an uphill road ahead.

Jack Hunter: Waltz’s Demotion Should Begin a Neocon Purge

Jack Hunter at The American Conservative contends that Signalgate was no accident, that Michael Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg have indeed been in cahoots, given both their prior joint appearances and their shared interest in promoting neoconservative ideology. He also contends that "a true ‘America First’ foreign policy and neoconservatism are incompatible," and that it is time that President Trump stop deluding himself into believing otherwise. In Hunter's opinion, Trump should've done what Hunter suggests Trump do now, a long time ago. But alas, Trump is a forgiving man. He has given the neocons more than enough chances to work with him so they could together develop a policy which could make both sides happy. However, the neocons have blown every chance Trump has given them, and Signalgate should be the final straw.

In his article, Hunter calls for Trump to do a "neocon purge." And although Hunter ultimately stops short of outright stating a detailed strategy, from my perspective he gives a good idea of what Trump's base should demand that Trump do on their behalf. This implied strategy consists of four tasks:

• 1. Revoking his nomination of Waltz as UN Ambassador, and instead booting him out of the administration altogether.

• 2. Firing Marco Rubio.

• 3. Revoking his endorsement of Lindsey Graham's re-election campaign, and instead endorsing one of his primary challengers.

• 4. Recruiting someone to try to primary out Tom Cotton.

Who's with Hunter on this?

Link to article here.--Geopolitician (talk) 18:38, May 5, 2025 (EDT)

According to Larry Johnson, Waltz was canned cause he was negotiating with Bibi for war with Iran "behind Trump's back".

The fact Waltz was announced as canned 3 hours before "oh, no no, he was promoted", IMO was not an accident. Looks more like the classic Trump weave, rather than sloppy messaging from the White House Communications Office. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 20:54, May 5, 2025 (EDT)

As to Jack Hunter, it may be too ambitious, too early. DOGE, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi have a lot of work to do first. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 21:01, May 5, 2025 (EDT)

May 8 Victory Day?

The Cold War began almost as immediately as surrender documents were signed by Nazi Germany. The UK violated the agreement made by the Allies at the Teheran Conference not to accept a separate peace. While the Red Army battled German forces in the streets of Berlin, UK forces accepted a formal signed surrender document from Hitler's designated successor Adm Doenitz in north Germany on May 8. The same night just before midnight, commander of German forces Gen Jodl surrendered to Soviet forces in the capital of Germany, Berlin. The news was reported to Moscow, which is 3 hours earlier, after 2 AM. So the Soviet's proclaimed May 9 Victory Day.

This inability of "the Allies" to keep agreements and even agree on when World War II ended marked the beginning of the Cold War. Now President Trump by official proclamation declares May 8 "Victory Day". This is highly insulting to Russian families who made the sacrifice and lost family in the war. Trump knows this, or should know this. Unfortunately, it unofficially marks the beginning of Cold War II, and is readily an admission of President Trump's failure to keep his promise to end the NATO proxy war in 24 hours or 100 days. Biden's War, begun by Obama in 2014, is now Trump's war. Bannon was right.

Bottomline: Trump didn't have to make a formal proclamation, but he did anyway. Going forward, the Russians can only interpret this as bad faith out of spite. Between FDR saying "no separate peace" or Papa Bush promising "not one inch east", the Russians have no confidence in Western, UK, or American words, written or oral promises.

Mearsheimer: [15]

“

[Trump]'s dead wrong on both World War I and World War II. I won't talk about World War I, but I will talk about World War II where of course he's dead wrong. And also I think he's showing great disrespect to Russia and to the former Soviet Union for the enormous price that they paid in defeating the Wehrmacht in World War II.... [...] The real danger is it just shows disrespect for other people. Number one, I think if you're in Russia today, which is of course the principal remnant state left over from when the Soviet Union collapsed, this is deeply offensive. Just think about the sacrifice that Russia/the Soviet Union played to defeat Nazi Germany. And here you have President Trump disrespecting that great sacrifice, disrespecting this country. But furthermore, when Trump makes comments like that which are so at odds with the historical record, it really cast doubt or doubts on his judgment. It's truly remarkable that he would make such a foolish statement. Someone who is the president of the United States should simply know better. And I know that we've reached the point where we just say "Well this is Donald Trump, and you know he just says a lot of outrageous things". He contradicts himself from one day to another, and it really doesn't matter because it's just Donald Trump and everybody understands that. But I don't believe that's true. I think it says a lot about his judgment. And I think it says a lot about whether you can trust the man because he's saying one thing one day and another thing another day. And much of what he says is simply not true. So if you're a foreign leader, and you're looking at the United States and you're thinking about how to deal with Donald Trump, you have to scratch your head and say "Is he a reliable negotiating partner?" And I think the answer in most cases is no.

Putin:

“

We remember the lessons of the Second World War and will never agree with the distortion of its events, with attempts to justify executioners and slander the true victors. Our duty is to defend the honor of the fighters and commanders of the Red Army, the great feat of representatives of different nationalities who will forever remain in world history as Russian soldiers. Russia was and will be an indestructible barrier to Nazism, Russophobia and Anti-semitism, and will fight against the atrocities committed by the proponents of these aggressive destructive ideas. Truth and justice are on our side.

”

Judge Napolitani interview with Mearsheimer:

“

Judge Napolitano: In an interview with Meet the Press [Trump] made this rather startling statement that Russia is interested in taking "all of Ukraine", just as President Biden did. Mearsheimer: Yeah, I saw that clip. And he also says in the clip President Trump, that it's only because of him that they haven't taken all of Ukraine. Uh, I mean this is delusional, on both counts. First of all, there is zero evidence that the Russians have been interested in conquering all of Ukraine. Just zero evidence. They don't have the capability to do that. And furthermore, the idea that they were bent on it and Donald Trump stopped them is kind of a laughable argument. The guy has been in office only since January 20th and he certainly has not stopped them in that. Judge Napolitano: What does this tell you about either his understanding of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia or his listening to neocons whispering in his ear, or his political chicainery with the rest of us? Maybe he wants us to think that Putin wants all of Ukraine and when he ends up with just Crimea and the four oblasts Trump will take credit for having saved the rest of Ukraine. Who knows what's going through his mind. But there is no evidence, whatsoever, from anywhere on the planet that Putin wants all of Ukraine. Mearsheimer: Exactly. And this gets back to his claim the other day that we won both World War I and World War II. When you hear those kind of comments, you say "What planet is this guy living on?" This just makes no sense at all. Judge Napolitano: How does this play in the Kremlin, Professor Mearsheimer, when he makes a statement like this? Mearsheimer: Well, I think that it basically means that you don't know what Trump is really thinking because he changes his tune from day to day. So you really can't trust anything he says. And furthermore, even if you get a deal, let's say we work out a deal. How much faith can you put in him to keep that deal and to not walk away from it at some point? So this is a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the Russians. And, by the way, it's also a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the Iranians. You know, the Iranians remember very well that he walked away from the JCPOA which they thought was an agreement that was going to be kept by the United States. But Trump walked away. And if the Russians cut a deal with Trump, and they make concessions to Trump to get that deal, can they trust that he won't welch on the deal shortly thereafter? And the answer is, no. And this really gets in the way of negotiating a settlement. Judge Napolitano: So in the past 10 days Trump has claimed that the United States was largely responsible for defeating Nazi Germany and not the Russians. He has claimed that Russia has lost over a million men in the Ukraine conflict, and he has dispatched General Kellogg, yet again. And I'll play a clip from him just yesterday to offer a peace plan that he knows is dead in the water. What does this tell the Kremlin? Mearsheimer: Again, it tells the Kremlin that his policy is incoherent. That there's just, you know, no clear policy objective. And no strategy for achieving that objective. I mean, what else can the Kremlin conclude? I mean, the Kremlin has a vested interest in playing nice with Trump and not picking a fight with him, and pretending that they're still willing to work out a deal. But I would imagine that behind closed doors the Russians are thinking that we can't place much faith in Trump. And even if we get a deal, we can't place much faith in that deal. What we have to do is we have to position ourselves on the battlefield in ways that ensure our security once the shooting stops and you get a frozen conflict.

The Chechens remain ardent foes of US/Saudi-backed Wahhabism (ref Dore Gold, Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism, 2003. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 23:47, May 7, 2025 (EDT)

“

While the US was courting Yeltsin, clapping him on the back for his anti-Communism and anti-Sovietism and for opening up the country to McDonald's and Western carpetbaggers while pouring him yet another vodka – "Boris we love you!" – the CIA was hard at work, trying to do to Russia's Islamic underbelly in Chechnya and Dagestan and elsewhere what it had done to progressive forces in Afghanistan. It was organizing and funding radical jihadists such as Al Qaeda and others leveraging separatist sympathies.. The result was death and destruction, some of which came back to haunt the US.

Was our support for Donald Trump all in vain?

I've had a love-hate relationship with President Trump ever since he came down that escalator. I initially refused to take him seriously, then I tolerated him, then I hated him because of his attacks on Ted Cruz. In hindsight I'll admit he was right about Lyin' Ted. Shortly before the election I came around and voted for him. And I was initially pleasantly surprised. But then he began hiring neocons like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, and allowing them to hijack his foreign policy. He also put a knife in the economy by promoting and signing the CARES Act, which is a major reason inflation has been such a problem in the post-COVID era. So in 2020, I voted third party. However, I was always open to give Trump another chance in case he decided to run again and demonstrated that he learned from his first term mistakes. On Election Day 2024, I was confident he had learned from those mistakes, so I voted for him once again. Six months later, it's becoming more and more apparent that I was wrong. He hasn't learned from those mistakes. And no event makes that more evident than his decision to normalize relations with the al-Qaeda regime in Syria.

This begs the question. Was our support for Trump all in vain? Most of us here understand what an America First administration should look like. And this ain't it. Instead of going after the countries which serve the Deep State, Trump is befriending them and even backing them against countries which resist the Deep State. And he and his surrogates expect, no, demand that we accept that. But if we're to be ideologically honest, we can't. And I won't.--Geopolitician (talk) 18:58, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

There is some valid criticism there. On the vital life-and-death issue of peace and war, it's almost a debate between lying vs incompetence. At least that's how it shapes up as a 2026 Midterm election issue. OTOH, by-passing war with Iran is an open question yet. There still a lot of balls up in the air in this juggling act. Same with the vital inflation and employment numbers as a result of tariffs - can they be made to look good before November 2026?

It's an inherent flaw in our system. Democracy means people with an IQ under 110 vote. The MSM shapes the narrative geared toward them. And our system with set elections every two years - unlike a parliamentary system - means we live in perpetual crisis. People are impatient and want fast results, kinda like waiting for the next pee-break during a commercial. So you have to master the art of debating with idiots with an IQ below 110 (for example: the premise that the notorious Nazi kill list in Ukraine was not created and maintained by a Nazi, etc.) RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 20:49, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

This is concerning: Trump Administration Restores US National Endowment for Democracy’s Funding. Berletic calls it "continuity of agenda". While some of the more abusive programs have been cut from the $41 billion USAID budget, other of these regime change and color revolution programs are just being better hidden. We've seen this game before after the Church Committee, which is how the NED came into existence and when USAID was hijacked from the Peace Corps.

Rumor has it, despite his indespensible service in combatting Russiagate, Ratcliffe is said to be a closet neocon, which doesn't necessarily make him a full blooded globalist. There are gradations. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 01:24, May 14, 2025 (EDT)

globalists are essentially business people and oligarchs.

neocons are political people who need globalists' money and resources to carry out their designs.

This is not news

Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary Lutnick: 'We're very, very focused on America's golden age coming'. The Trump Effect: $8 Trillion in US investments and climbing], White House. "We will stand bravely. Dream boldly. And nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours and our golden age has just begun." - Donald Trump, 2025.

It's rehashed talking points about future events. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 21:14, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

Then again, the author/editor has a track record of not being able to distinguish news from propaganda.

This is what life in North Korea is like. People are hungry for news and information and all they get is rehashed slogans from the Dear Leader.

Recycled Darwinism

All this sounds like recycled Natural selection and survival of the fittest:

• America will be the leading power for the foreseeable future;
• Russia is a declining power;
• etc. etc. etc.

Civilizations don't last forever. A cursory reading of the Bible will tell you that.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Russia's roads, sewers and oil/gas infrastructure are crumbling. And Russia's fertility rate is the lowest it's been in 200 years and its expected to have a severe demographic crisis in the 2040s. And Russia has one of the lowest church attendance rates in the world. President Trump said Russia's economy is a "disaster". Due to the war in Ukraine, a gigantic number of Russia's most educated/wealthy people left Russia and this brain drain is negatively affecting Russia's economy. Decline, decline, decline. That's all a reasonable person sees in Russia's future, barring some supernatural miracle such as a religious revival in Russia. Conservative (talk) 16:16, May 14, 2025 (EDT)

Wake up and smell the coffee. America does not have a "superior" culture or civilization. Gay rights and America's crumbling infrastructure should tell you that.

The USA has the 11th best roads in the world. Russian roads were recently ranked 120th in the world (See: Russia a land of potholes, bad roads and deteriorating car quality).

Also, there are gay bars/clubs in Moscow, St. Petersburg some other Russian cities. Furthermore, Russia decriminalized homosexuality as far as it not being illegal to be a homosexual in Russia. President Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia where they have no gay bars/clubs and they have not decriminalized being a homosexual! And the Saudis are investing in the USA - not Russia where many people are drunkards. And last time I checked in my Bible, both homosexuals and drunkards go to Hell!
