If Only Americans Would Remember

 

It is a sad fact that the public schools and too many private schools place little if any importance on teaching history, both American and World Histories. The students do not learn about the start of democracy in Athens, one of the numerous Grecian city states before their unification by Alexander the Great. Plato lived amongst the denizens of the Athenian democracy and he saw the tyranny of the majority which he equated with mob rule and thus placed democracy just above tyranny as the worst forms of governance. The deficiencies he saw in the Athenian democratic government led to probably his greatest work on governance, “The Republic” where he devised representative government which would safeguard the minorities protecting their interests from being trampled by the majority while still empowering the majority to hold their proper place of importance in governing. It was partly this work from Plato written before the birth of Jesus that was part and parcel of the governing bodies the United States was fashioned by. There were other political philosophers who were mostly English and some French and the minds of some of the best educated persons in the United States in their day and even then they initially got the balance slightly skewed towards the states in a excessively loose federation and the Constitution was their second attempt and the solution which was decided though imperfect, as anything fashioned by man will be, they felt it was as close as they could get and the amendment process would provide the needful, and only the needful, adjustments to their work.

 

The impetus for the American Revolution is another point which would be very poignant and prescient for students entering the age for voting as the colonists demanded no taxation without representation and were revolting over a tax on tea of 3%, yes, 3% and only on tea. This would seem crazy with the total tax on the average American household reaching from a low end average of 12% to an upper end average of 35%, both many multiples of a 3% tax on one product, even if it was the one product every household purchased as they were still British. That tea tax was the straw that broke the camel’s back and brought on a revolutionary war and the shot heard round the world. It really was as soon after came the French Revolution and other British colonies protesting their taxes but they did so without leaving the realm, at least not at this period of time. Still, free people in elected governments everywhere owe a great deal of thanks to the British aristocracy as they started the entire idea that people had rights. Of course their claim was barons and land owners had rights which they would wrest from the crown with the drafting and signing by the king, after a hard fought war in which he realized he could not prevail as much of his army belonged to the nobles suing for rights, of the Magna Carta. From that document was derived that a King’s power was not absolute but dependent on the advisories and consents of the principled landowners which with the centuries became citizens in good standing and are resting on a precipice teetering towards the consent of all who can claim to be affected by said governance, as an example is the position of certain universalist leftists that everyone on planet earth (for starters we can only guess) be permitted a vote in elections held in the United States as all are affected by American hegemony from which they believe evil begins and a world influence would perfect the nation and its governance. The truth be told, the barons and landowners of 1215 England were prompted by the Bible, in particular the Old Testament limitations placed on kings should the nation of the Israelites ever decide to be as other nations and choose a monarch which they eventually did. These limitations were first set in Torah, the laws given at Mount Sinai in the book of Deuteronomy 17:14-17 which placed the very first laws limiting the powers and impositions of Kings where it read:

 

14When you have come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
15you may indeed set over you a king whom the Lord your God will choose. One of your own community you may set as king over you; you are not permitted to put a foreigner over you, who is not of your own community.
16Even so, he must not acquire many horses for himself, or return the people to Egypt in order to acquire more horses, since the Lord has said to you, “You must never return that way again.”
17And he must not acquire many wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; also silver and gold he must not acquire in great quantity for himself.

 

The Prophets went further throughout the Old Testament adding other limitations and requirements for Kings with probably the most humbling and for providing lessons in humility, not that it always had that effect, each King was required to write his own Torah in his own hand and then read the applicable verses for each day at his morning prayers. Of course enforcing this was somewhat problematic as the Prophets power was in his wisdom and the desire of a King to receive wise council but should a King be all full of themselves then they would brook no advice or limitations and would inevitably stray from Torah and the people would suffer under their rule. Should you read the Magna Carta you will see much of it places moral as well as power limitations and demands of the King in exchange for the support of the barons and landowners who also provided the knights for defense of the realm.

 

What is most interesting in the limitations of the Magna Carta was that it was not very much different than the Brexit vote in Britain and the anti-establishment movements in both of the major parties, Republican and Democrat, in the United States. Donald Trump first is not a true right wing conservative which is often the presumed candidate despite their choices since Ronald Reagan have been centrists with the occasional right wing leanings, while the Democrat race was fixed from the start as the party establishment controls close to 40% of the electors so Hillary only needed to garner ten to twelve percent of the remaining electors to win which left Bernie Sanders out of contention almost from the start needing to garner 100% of the remaining electors going into the initial super primary day of March 1, 2016. Truth was nobody was going to disturb the coronation of Hillary Clinton as this was arranged after the 2008 loss to Barack Obama in order to pacify the Clintons and not have them pull their followers and big money donors from backing President Obama in both elections. Still, Bernie made a mess of the centrist game Hillary had hoped to run on and now she is stuck so far into the left wing bleachers that it is doubtful she can find center field by election day and even if she should she will find one Donald Trump already there and not out of breath from the long run from the bleachers.

 

Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton

 

With taxes at record levels since the Carter Administration it is little wonder that the people are seething against the party elites. They have watched their taxes rise to support programs they did not desire and with record numbers of illegal immigrants and the back alley importation of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern “refugees” being hidden in small communities so as to attempt to secretly skirt the main cities and thus not upset the ignorant masses as they would never figure this out with the internet and all the other means for news to reach the people, even the most insulated voters. Their secreting the “refugees” into small communities and largely in states which vote traditionally Republican and that Hillary would not need in order to win in the Electoral College, they hope that nobody will know their little dirty secret until it is too late. Remember that Hillary is promising that the United States has not done enough and she plans on increasing the importation of “Syria refugees” by one-hundred-fold. That would mean she plans on bringing tens of millions of these so-called refugees and believe me she means to do exactly that. The Democrats want to make America failed through and through with no possibility of ever making a recovery. That is not to claim that The Donald would be any form of savior, but we are sure there are many who after researching the third party candidates who are seriously voting Donald Duck or Porky Pig, but may we suggest for amusement sake we all write in Daffy Duck as long as some of us are choosing a duck and avoiding a Donald?

 

Kidding aside, the coming elections for President of the United States and for the makeup of the Congress have never been as serious as they are this election. After eight years of “leading from behind,” the time is ripe for a resurgent America to return roaring onto the scene. Allowing Europe and the United Nations to lead the way on the world stage is tantamount to treason for endangerment of the nation and, with that, the world. Never has a nation left as large a vacuum at the top with the closest comparison being the fall of the Roman Empire which is what allowed the first Islamic Expansion and another is obviously imminent with Europe ripe for the taking if their collective trees can be shaken at their core. Eastern Europe is still emerging as they recover from their Communist Dark Ages while Western Europe teeters on the edge of liberal poised suicide as they stand frozen with fear as their nations prove as vulnerable as their flags pictured below. Their churches deserted and Mosques sprouting in every town, village and neighborhood and where the call to prayer five times each day have replaced the tolling of the church bells echoing in the countryside. Still, there is time for Europe to pull themselves together and defeat this rising hatred seething within their bellies and extinguish the fires currently spreading across Old Europe and soon to threaten New Europe.

 

 

If ever there was an election making the “None of the Above” vote we have previously suggested be adopted by Constitutional Amendment, this election is it. The way the system would work is to win the election or electors a candidate would be required to surpass 50% to gain those votes or gain office. People would have all the candidates listed plus a slot in each elected office for “None of the Above” which would count in the total to find the 50% figure. If “None of the Above” got 20% of the vote then a candidate would be required to garner at least 72% of the remaining votes to surpass the 50% threshold. Should “None of the Above” receive one-third of the vote then the needed would be a full 75% of the remaining votes. Obviously this would force the parties to come up with candidates the people truly would want to vote for as they would have an out should neither party and third party candidates really appeal and this would also make third party candidates more likely to get a second look if the main parties gave the public choices such as they have in the mind of many Americans with the Presidential race.

 

So, voter discontent ran overboard in both of the main parties. The party which valued the choice of their public ended up with a novice real estate developer and investment underwriter who often goes off the rails when unscripted and has an ego larger than Alaska and is an anathema to many of the elite in the party itself while the other party had absolutely no confidence in their public so they ensconced a near majority of their delegates under the tight-fisted control of the party elite requiring whomever the elite chose to get such a small number of delegates that Daffy Duck could have won with such support. Still, even with the elite support, their candidate came out bruised and damaged heading into their convention while the other party had few well known names support them and speak at the convention as they were likely still trying to figure out where they ran off the tracks. So we have two third party candidates either of which would be a comfortable fit with one or the other of the Democrat Party contestants for their spot on the ticket, one with Hillary and the other Bernie in our humble opinion, a Democrat who was promised her turn to try and be the first woman President, also her strongest running point, and the Republican a left of center ego whose id is probably just as attractive as that ego and perhaps if he promises to listen to his subconscious, he would appear a safer bet. That’s your choice America, have at it.

Panic! Panic! Revealed Terror Tunnel Entrances Are Under Mosques!

 

The actual title of the Townhall editorial article was Some Of Hamas’ Terror Tunnel Entrances Are Under Mosques in bold block print extra, extra large. We were surprised it was not blinking red with audio warning that they were about to reveal the Big Secret and then went on to quote directly “according to Israel National News (Arutz Sheva).” Much of the rest of the article was the Arutz Sheva article which to the best of our collective memories never made top billing on Arutz Sheva for the reason is it is ancient news, we have known all of this for ages, and the main point of the article had nothing to do with the tunnels which were additional news used to flesh out the article. The main point was a Shin Bet caught “Faiz Attar (65) of Beit Lahia, and Itallah Sarhan of Jabalia. Both towns are in the Gaza Strip” These gentlemen were smuggling tens to hundreds of thousands of Euros from Hamas in Gaza where they run the government as much as it can be referred to as such and were taking the shoe money, as they had special built shoes with an area to contain the cash, to finance Hamas in Judea and Samaria. This too is not exactly earth-shaking news either, just the names are new and really of little importance as these were couriers from families known to be Hamas related.

 

There was another well-known item here in Israel that we would hope gets some additional circulation throughout the West that there exist numerous tunnels which have entrances placed inside of homes of Gazans who have thusfar refused to join up with Hamas and are simply trying to get by day-to-day. Of course when these tunnels are detonated the two terminal points receive the brunt of the relayed force and destroy anything around those deadend termination points of the tunnel. The other end is often in Israel and also gets destroyed. The problem is when the tunnel is destroyed, whenever that blessed event may occur, these unfortunate innocent people end up the victims in Gaza and the Western media will be quoting these people’s life stories in great detail covering every detail of what they lost when their house exploded being targeted by those IDF forces who have no pity on the innocent. The media never places the blame with Hamas. Why, you might inquire. Let us explain.

 

The media desire to tell the stories of human tragedy, which these innocent people are a perfect example and their neighbors and all the other homes with tunnel entrances and those innocents and somewhere is the most devastating and touching story about poor grandpa who being old was too slow and is in hospital in very serious injuries and requiring surgeries which the hospital in Gaza could not provide and they now miss grandpa because he is gone. What is not explained is that gone means he is beyond their reach temporarily as he was transferred, during whatever else may have been in progress, to a hospital in Israel where he will receive some of the greatest medical care the world has to offer and they will be reunited with grandpa all staying free of charge while grandpa recovers free of charge and then they will all be returned to Gaza. The saddest part in our minds for these people is they need to return to Gaza. But if you are not willing to possibly sacrifice one of your children for the cause and refuse to shoot rockets at innocent Israelis, then Hamas uses your home for their tunnel entrance and tell you what an honor has been bestowed on you. One is assured that none of the tunnels end in Hamas family homes and especially not their leaders’ homes or neighborhoods or other high price locations and those places the in-people live and play (see montage below).

 

A Taste of the Gaza Never Used to Mount Attack,
Fire Rockets, or as a Tunnel Entrance

 

 

These are the poor and struggling Gazans scraping out their living as many of the poorer people in Israel also work hard to get by. These are the stories that are told repeatedly every conflict for the same reasons which are ignored, Hamas sets these people up by placing tunnels in their bedroom or living room or place rocket launchers next to their homes or on their roofs and then they are attacked to destroy the rocket launcher. The Israelis have nothing against these people as has been proven dozens of times over always with the same ending, failure due to Hamas. Hamas knows that if these tunnels or rocket launchers are not destroyed they have a victory and can continue trying to murder Israelis 24/7. If the rocket launchers or tunnels are destroyed possibly killing these intended victims of Hamas actions, then Hamas wins as they parade these victims by the Western media who eat it up loving every innuendo and scintillating detail of what those monstrous Israelis have caused. Hamas is innocent of any blame because if you write the truth about Hamas your privileges for reporting from Gaza are revoked if you are lucky and you simply vanish if you wrote something which caused that news to amplify and others quoted your report. Thus reporters with rights to tell the right stories about suffering Gazans who are victim of the Israelis and Hamas has done all it could for the family, which is true, they built them an underground cellar which reaches all the way into Israel onto their homes or placed a rocket launcher on their roof, who wouldn’t desire such favors.

 

That is the Modus Operandi of all the terror groups when fighting in their own lands amongst their powerbase and they all use their populations to their complete advantage, dead or alive. The victims, slowly and inevitably become permanent victims with which to flog the Israelis to gain concessions. These had been the reason that there are Arabs living in the midst of some of the largest cities of the Middle East but are not permitted to work except at the most menial and revolting jobs the local population would not perform at a minimal salary, thus they double as political refugees and slaves. These camps even exist in Gaza and in the Palestinian Authority (PA) controlled and ruled areas of Judea and Samaria. How one has refugees for going on three-quarters of a century fenced off from, in some cases family members who have not been deemed refugees, at least not yet, is beyond all rational thought except for one item, it is big business and people are gaining millions of Euros and Dollars. The most disgusting and revolting use of innocents has been the placing them on rooftops of buildings used as bases for operations, near rocket launchers or carried on one’s chest as if the child was body armor which is exactly what they have become (see videos below).

 

Another abuse which is fed directly by the United States, United Nations and almost all of Europe both individually or as a member of the European Union, is the dispensation of the cement and building supplies. Under extreme foreign pressures, Israel reluctantly permitted the importation of cement, concrete, and other building supplies including rebar, doors, utilities such as refrigerators and similar items. What could be utilized for building or replacing tunnels were taken right off the top thus far averaging close to ninety percent of the supplies have been stolen and appropriated by Hamas to build tunnels, bunkers and whatever else they desired leaving many Gazans still without a roof over their heads. It has been estimated that upwards of a thousand units could have been built or repaired with what has been permitted into Gaza but there has been negligible progress as the supplies simple are taken before they can be used for the intended purpose. Of course the world is still demanding that Israel provide or at least allow for provisions be permitted into Gaza until all the people have had their homes rebuilt. With close to ninety percent of the provisions going for military use, the world is once again demanding Israel cut her own throat and smile claiming to the end that we like it.

 

Europe had best figure out their coming Islamic problems as terror is far from being solely an Israel thing and has spread to the European Union and beyond. If they have thought the past year was awful, it will only get better. And be glad that when a police war breaks out and a large swath of apartments which ring the main cities where many Muslim reside are burnt to the ground, will the plan be to provide them with cement and concrete to permit their building ground floor bunkers and reinforced rooftops as set up for snipers? Just asking. Life does have this way of slowly engulfing everyone in the advanced world when the barbarians gather inside the gates. We cannot complain as we all allowed them in and gave them the idea that we would serve them in whatever fashion they desired. Now is the time to repair the breach before it becomes too late. It is always best to stand against a problem while it is small than to allow growth and further organizing might become the platform for changing the entire system into something we would hardly recognize, it goes by the name ‘Shriya’. There is no law or war or other descriptor placed after it as Sharia is a set of rules religiously motivated. Most of the terrorist have taken the most militant quotations from the Quran and verse by verse such that the Medina Quran superseded anything in the Mecca Quran which was far more open and accepting. If only the Muslims would utilize the original texts from the Quran which were written in Mecca as the story goes and as those writings were along the lines of Judeo-Christian writings of that era. The later Quran was more violent and the Shiites and Sunni have been using a separate idea as for the lineage one should follow. Unfortunately both sides believe that violence is the only way of proving who was correct all along, so they war as they are providing the proof in spades across Syria and much of Iraq.

 

That fight as well will find its place in Europe and when either population, the Sunni or the Shiites reaches twenty to twenty-five percent of the population they will then move to take command, implement Sharia, a religious framework build in conjunction with a political structure placing Muslims at the top and Arabs are considered better Muslims by the Sunni while the Shiites are split on that currently though they appear to be taking more to their Persian, their Aryan viewpoint of the world. This makes the Shiites far more dangerous than the Sunni, and the Sunni always install a chosen leader and they hold all power and can make law on a whim. They can also always be replaced by religious and secular means as their position places them atop both structures as well as commander of the military. This combination of holy man, ruling dictator, head of the police, both regular and religious including the dreaded morality corps, head of the Military and responsible for directing trade within and outside the nation and it can get messy very fast. Perhaps the Western World had best awaken, drink some coffee, smell a rose or two, put away the rose colored glasses you purchased in the 60s or 70s in a head shop in Greenwich Village (The Village) or the head supplies store two blocks from the epic Lombard Street brick paved winding tourist trap (see below). You guessed it, when visiting San Fran (San Francisco) you got to drive the section of Lombard Street just because it is there. It is almost as important as Muir Woods (see below) with the tall version of the sequoia trees.

The glasses would soon break as under Sharia one will comply or one will die as Islam is spread by the sword once again and these gentlemen have not gotten past knives hardly capable of the chore at hand. Then there is Islamic State who attempts to be ever more disturbing with every execution video. Europe, United States, Canada and even the new to be liberated Britain, we hope you are stepping forward with eyes wide open because it has appeared you are groping in the sunlight refusing to open your eyes to what it is you are doing and it will result in many people needlessly dying because of the coming blunders as your minds are completely shut to add on top of the blunders already committed. As our favorite song calls out, “America, where are you now, Don’t you know your sons and daughters need you now, A-m-e-r-i-c-a!

And France Doubles Down

 

Right on the heels of the disastrous French initiative taking confab of twenty plus Foreign Ministers last week where they could not even join together to condemn Israel, let alone demand Israel commit some form of concessions once again to restart the moribund peace process, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault now had the audacity to lecture Israel about the extra security measures taken after the deadly Tel Aviv terror shooting. His claim was by cancelling the work and other passage permissions for the extended family of the terrorists and the cancellation of the Ramadan liberal permissions in response to the attack which murdered four and wounded a score more was simply collective punishment and would lead to more terror and exacerbate an already difficult situation. You can read about and see videos and pictures of the actual assault and aftermath in our article on the terror attack and other related events Look Back and Forward to Coming Incitements for War. The steps Israel took were the same basic types as any sane and rational government would take facing the same situation. The terrorists were cousins from a family which already has a terror history of radicalization with an Uncle of both young men still serving in an Israeli prison for terrorist assault he took part in previously. Israel went so far as to freeze work entry visas for some 204 members of the attackers’ extended family. Israel went further and rescinded approximately eighty-three-thousand general entry permits given to Arabs from Judea and Samaria for Ramadan without running security checks on the vast majority. To run individual checks on this many people would take far longer than the Ramadan holiday and cancellation was a safety precaution, not a punishment. Goodwill gestures to Gaza Arabs, including travel permits to Jerusalem to participate in Ramadan prayers on the Temple Mount, were also rescinded, especially after the reaction of the Hamas government and their sister terror organization Islamic Jihad support for the terror attack and threat that more of the same was imminent. To the French Foreign Minister such actions were overreacting like the French are all of a sudden security experts on how to prevent terrorist attacks. Let’s look at the recent record, oh, yes; Paris just had a slight problem in this area, didn’t they. The reasoning behind the French reaction against Israel’s steps in the aftermath of this horrific attack was blame the victim, side with the terrorists and maybe, just maybe the terrorists will think the French are so wonderful they will not strike there ever again. Talk about throwing everybody else to the alligators so that they will be eaten last thinking which has such a great track record when it comes to terrorism.

 

Adding to the preposterousness of French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault hyperventilating over Israeli security measures was the location from where it came. He was in the United Nations to take part in a Security Council debate on the protection of civilians in peacekeeping. Talking about the United Nations, on Friday the United Nations Human Rights Chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein spoke along with the rest of his office to express how so “deeply concerned” by Israel’s response they were while only offering a mild condemnation of the actual terror attack itself or concern for the families of the slain or for a recovery of the injured. These were not the exception but when the terrorist attack was condemned in equivocating terms, it was more often than not followed immediately with stronger terms denouncing Israeli actions as horrid overreactions and in the wording of the office of Mr. al-Hussein, “includes measures that may amount to prohibited collective punishment and will only increase the sense of injustice and frustration felt by Palestinians in this very tense time.”

 

Meanwhile the French Foreign Weasel, we mean Foreign Minister, did we really say Weasel? Anyway, the foreign minister further stated, “There must be a political initiative from the international community to create conditions conducive to appeasement and a return to negotiations,” according to AFP. France is always working for the security of Israel.” Really now, and were not you the leading figure right next to French President François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande calling for a ministerial meeting last week in Paris to discuss what concessions Israel could take to prove their honest desires for peace on top of near countless previous concessions to do the exact same desire for peace? Did not your office recently threaten Israel with recognizing an Arab State called Palestine and setting their borders unilaterally as if the French ran the world? Are you not that same French Foreign Minister head whose office is working furiously with other parts of the French government to find some way of punishing Israel in order for President François Hollande can show he is on top of taking steps to prevent further terror attacks like the one recently in Paris and before that two others including the Charlie Hebdo murders where Israeli Prime Minister flew to Paris to state himself in French, “Je suis Charlie” and march with the other dignitaries? Oh, I remember, he was placed a number of rows back while Mahmoud Abbas was given front and center of the processions for the pictures and there were articles claiming that the Israeli Prime Minister was a news hound just trying to get himself into the picture like the pushy petty Jew that he was, that was the reaction expressed out of Paris after the picture below was released. Who again was being given the glory hound position and why was he smiling after a dozen people and more were just murdered in Paris and all others had their serious faces on as was appropriate; that clown Abbas was doing one of the only two things he knows how to do, condemn Israel and smile like a jackal when before cameras even at a remembrance for terrorist victims murdered in the name of Islam.

The two-facedness of your condemnation immediately after siding with the terrorists and attempting to give them a state taken out of the gut of Israel from which to paralyze Israeli industry and threaten directly seventy percent of her population, you then turn around and condemn Israel for reacting to terrorists who came from that very same area you meant to make a terrorist state from. They came from a small town just outside Hevron, a small town which could not help but celebrate their little warriors with fireworks and candies as two of their own gunned down four unarmed civilians at a market and when encountering Israeli security forces who were armed, they dropped their weapons and attempted to act as victims themselves. The one shot while escaping was shot in such a manner as to prevent his escape but not to kill, a form of shooting to arrest rather than center of body mass which requires the security personnel in Israel to take additional training to master such a difficult task. In one of the videos at our aforementioned article you can witness the Israeli security personnel shooting the suspect three or four times and the resulting generally non-life-threatening wounds placed him at the same hospital being treated by the same Israeli physicians as were the victims of he and his cousin’s terror spree where they opened fire in a crowded market full of unarmed people in Tel Aviv one nice evening, well, it was nice until those two jackals, and we apologize for insulting jackals everywhere, opened fire and then immediately threw their weapons down, one of them after one of the market patrons kicked his gun from his grasp breaking it making it unusable, and attempted the innocent victim routine as they knew that police and Israeli armed security personnel would soon arrive and they were not prepared to take on anyone who would be capable of shooting back. Then they ran and we are waiting for the first complaint that the Israeli security personnel shot an unarmed terrorist making him a victim of Israeli brutalism. The vermin, again, vermin, we mean no disparaging but the words for these terror swine, now we need apologize to swine, was running from the scene and it was entirely likely he was still armed thus shooting rather than take further chances with loss of innocent lives warranted his actions. Let us state further that this security personnel came running towards the sounds of gunfire, not away or hiding in place but running towards a situation more than likely which would place them in danger themselves, a rare breed amongst humankind and we have numerous just like them here in Israel and we are thankful for every last one of these brave and selfless individuals. As far as for the French Foreign Minister and President attempting to raise their standing with the French people on the backs and lives of the Israeli people, we remember the case of Alfred Dreyfus and can plainly see that the French leadership has not moved all that far from their pedigree of that day. Let us conclude, “Nous sommes Dreyfus” and in his memory, that of French perfidy then and now.
