Russia’s Designs On The Middle East
By Cliff Kincaid (from 2015) Pope Francis has formally recognized a Palestinian state, even though it does not exist. While the media have noted that the Vatican’s curious action has created some controversy, there has been little discussion of whether “Palestinians” actually do exist, where the modern-day concept of a “State of Palestine” came from, and which major power benefits from the creation of a nation under the control of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the Middle East. American-Israeli political commentator and journalist Sha’i ben-Tekoa told Accuracy in Media, “Starting with Chapter 2:1 of the Pope’s own Holy Writ, Christian Scripture refers to Judea 42 times, Samaria 11 times, never to ‘Palestine,’ ‘Palestinians’ or the ‘West Bank.’ The Arabs in Judea and Samaria meet not one of the international legal requirements for statehood.” He is referring to Matthew 2:1, which refers to Jesus being born in Bethlehem in Judea. Many commentators, with little or no access to major U.S. media, argue with justification that the Arabs in Judea and Samaria are squatters, with no legal right to even be there. “Most of the so-called ‘Palestinians’ are in fact interlopers and squatters from Syria—and other places—mostly in the 1920s and 1930s who simply took possession of pieces of land in Israel,” says commentator Rockwell Lazareth. William Mayer, editor and publisher of PipeLineNews.com, says “the so-called Palestinians” are in fact “Arab colonial squatters” who have been used to wage war against Israel. Commenting further on the Vatican’s recognition of a so-called Palestinian state, Ben-Tekoa tells AIM, “This business of recognizing a phantom state for a phantom nation that screws the Jews is an outrage. It is this generation’s version of Jew-hatred. The Pope should lead, not follow the enemies of Israel.” Ben-Tekoa’s book, Phantom Nation: Inventing the ‘Palestinians’ as the Obstacle to Peace, argues that “Palestinians” are an “invented” people whose purpose is to serve as the means through which the destruction of Israel and the Jews will ultimately be achieved. If so, the fingerprints of the old Soviet Union and today’s Russia are all over the plan. In his scholarly paper, “Soviet Russia, Creator of the PLO and Inventor of the Palestinian People,” Wallace Edward Brand documents how the term “Palestinian People” was concocted by the “Soviet disinformation masters” in 1964 when they created the Palestine Liberation Organization, the PLO. Soon, the United Nations adopted the cause. Dr. Harris Schoenberg’s 1989 book, A Mandate for Terror: The United Nations and the PLO, describes how the world body came to endorse and embrace the terrorism campaign of the PLO. The UN General Assembly voted in 2012 to recognize Palestine as a non-member state, giving it the same status as the Vatican. The only countries voting against this initiative were Canada, Czech Republic, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Panama, and the United States. Earlier this year, the International Criminal Court (ICC) accepted “Palestine” as a State Party to the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty. The court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, is currently probing alleged Israeli war crimes during last summer’s war in Gaza with the Hamas terrorist group. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the chairman of the PLO and the Palestinian Authority, who is scheduled to meet with Pope Francis on May 16, is widely considered to be a key Russian asset in the Middle East. Abbas speaks fluent Russian as a result of his KGB training at the KGB’s Patrice Lumumba University, where he wrote a report claiming that there was no Holocaust, and that the Jews who were murdered during World War II were actually killed by Zionists working with the Nazis. It is now called the People’s Friendship University. Former KGB officers and intelligence analysts say that the PLO’s long-time chairman, Yasser Arafat, was an also an agent of the Soviet intelligence service. The links between various Arab and Islamic terrorist groups and the Russians are said to continue. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking defector from the former Soviet bloc, says KGB dissident Alexander Litvinenko, who was living in London, was assassinated by the KGB in 2006 because he spilled the beans on how Soviet intelligence spawned Islamic terrorism and even trained al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Marius Laurinavius, Senior Policy Analyst in the Policy Analysis and Research Division of the Eastern Europe Studies Center, argues in his paper, “Do traces of KGB, FSB and GRU lead to Islamic State?,” that it is impossible to understand the rise of the Islamic state without paying attention to the links between the Russian secret services and Arab/Muslim terrorists, including in the Russian region of Chechnya. Nevertheless, it seems that the PLO has been successful in its campaign, as even the United States government, first under President George W. Bush and now under President Barack Obama, has accepted a so-called “two-state solution” of Israel and a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in 2009 that he was prepared to recognize a “demilitarized” Palestinian state of some kind, subject to security conditions and their recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. However, a document outlining the approach of Netanyahu’s new coalition government did not include any intention of establishing a Palestinian state. The publication Foreign Policy says Obama has decided to review the “diplomatic protection” it has offered Israel in the United Nations against anti-Israel resolutions as a way to pressure the Jewish state, and that “There is a growing movement at the United Nations Security Council to pass a resolution outlining a roadmap for future peace talks.” Such a “roadmap” would force Israel to accept a Russian-influenced Palestinian state. The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has already announced that Russia will back a resolution calling for a Palestinian state. With the Vatican endorsing statehood for Palestine, the Russians, working with Obama, may see their chance to put more pressure on Israel. This will likely work out to the benefit of Russia and its Palestinian agents, not the United States or Israel. In his 1971 book, Red Star Over Bethlehem: Russia Drives for the Middle East, former diplomatic envoy Ira Hirschman argued that the Soviet Union voted in the U.N. to establish the state of Israel in 1947, only to oust “the last vestiges of British power in the land-bridge area linking Europe, Africa, and Asia,” and that its strategic objective has been to make possible the long-awaited dream of Catherine the Great to establish Russian warm-water ports in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

![]() First Ukraine, Now Israel, and Then America By Cliff Kincaid The invasion of Israel demonstrates the folly of those self-styled “conservatives” who oppose aid to Ukraine. Whether they realize it or not, they are making sure Ukraine gets taken over by many of the same elements invading Israel, all of them backed by Russia. Yet, some of them support Israel while calling for aid to Ukraine to be terminated. This position makes no sense. They have to backtrack quickly. If anyone was “caught off guard,” it was those “conservatives” in the House arguing against aid to Ukraine and are now scrambling to support Israel. What is desperately needed is a review of the pro-Russian elements that have been infiltrating the modern conservative movement. These are the people who have been adamant against aid to Ukraine, a position that only benefits Russia and Iran, headed by a regime providing drones used in the Russian attacks on the Christian people of Ukraine. If you connect the dots in the invasion of Israel, the roads lead to Moscow. Colonel Richard Kemp, a former UK Armed Forces commander, notes, “Hamas leaders, including terrorist boss Ismail Haniyah, have made a number of visits to Moscow since the Ukraine war began, meeting with senior government officials including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. A delegation from their Gaza terrorist bedfellows, Islamic Jihad, led by its chief, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, also visited Moscow in March. Likewise, leaders of another Iranian proxy, Lebanese Hezbollah, have been welcome guests in Moscow. Hezbollah terrorists fought side by side with Russian troops in Syria and have since been involved in helping Moscow evade sanctions and, according to the US Treasury Department, may have received weapons in return.” In other words, having seen Biden’s no-win strategy in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has decided to unleash the Islamic terrorists on Israel. The invasion of Ukraine was made in Moscow, and the invasion of Israel was also planned there. Anybody who disputes this fact doesn’t understand the reality of Soviet/Russian communism and the work of the KGB. To understand what has been planned, I suggest the report, Communists and Muslims: The Hidden Hand of the KGB, by Konstantin Preobrazhensky, a former KGB officer. To set the record straight on Soviet/Russian tactics and strategies, America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) is publishing a detailed analysis of the origins of the Russian-backed propaganda that the government of Ukraine and its military forces are dominated by Nazis. The analysis traces the propaganda to a lie manufactured by Russia’s Tsarist Secret Police and currently used by the former KGB officer and current Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, new versions of the Big Lie have appeared over time, in order to mask the anti-Semitic nature of the Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion. Our report is titled, “The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine.” Anti-Semitism is what unites the opponents of Ukraine and Israel. Conservatives should avoid being tainted by this hateful ideology. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was someone who was supposed to understand all of this. Yet, just last month, in New York, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Jewish president of Ukraine, was forced to plead in person for Netanyahu to provide “more assistance and a more coordinated front against Iranian weapons transfers to Russian forces in Ukraine,” as Time magazine noted. The magazine added, “No Israeli Prime Minister has visited Ukraine’s capital since Russia stepped up its aggression. And while Israel has provided humanitarian aid and defensive warning systems to Ukraine, it has balked at sending lethal, offensive military equipment or its most effective anti-missile technology.” Israel has just seen what appeasement of Russia has wrought. Netanyahu thought Israel would be spared. He was wrong. People ask how it is that the invasion of Israel caught the intelligence agencies of America and Israel by surprise. They have been blinded or infiltrated by the same pro-Russian elements working on all fronts of the information war. As we documented in a recent report, the National Security Agency (NSA) is so derelict in its duty that its museum in Maryland now has an exhibit which hails Soviet spy and Manhattan Project scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer as an American patriot. Equally significant, the Durham report on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation of Trump cites evidence that it was all based on Russian disinformation. Let that fact sink in: the Durham report provides evidence that the Russians originated the idea that Trump was a Russian agent and provided the “disinformation” in the Steele dossier which drove the FBI investigation of former President Trump and his associates. If the NSA and FBI can be misled in such ways, it is no wonder that Israel’s intelligence agencies have been caught off guard. Israeli leaders must now recognize that Ukraine’s fight is their fight. It is our fight, too.
![]() Russia and Iran are the Real Enemies By Cliff Kincaid I spent 40 years as a media critic, most of it with Accuracy in Media (AIM), but I have given up monitoring and reviewing the performance of what passes for the liberal media. These people are mostly paid corporate liars. They are lazy, too. I have turned a lot of my attention to the conservative media, especially Fox News, which provides a stream of constant laughs. I watch it, hoping for some nuggets of real information. But consider the story, “Absence of House speaker could have serious impact on US handling of terror attacks in Israel.” This laughable story by Chad Pergram and Kyle Morris is a continuation of the channel’s Jihad against the eight Republicans in the House who voted to evict Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker’s chair. It was totally made up to make a bogus point. Here is how it started out: “The absence of a House speaker amid the crisis in the Middle East, as Israel works to defend itself from an unprecedented attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists, has raised significant concerns among national security circles.” Who are these circles? Later, we learn about concern coming from “one House Republican who asked to remain anonymous.” My bet is that it is a McCarthy backer. The story uses formulations like “Fox is told” and “a source told Fox News.” Here is another paragraph from this phony story: “Fox has also heard from multiple lawmakers and congressional sources warning of potential problems for the U.S. should there be a need to respond to the Middle East situation or another foreign policy crisis.” Eventually, somebody in Britain is quoted as saying there was “chaos” in the House of Representatives. Before that, we are told, “Last week, foreign policy experts told Fox News Digital that the ensuing chaos that came as a result of McCarthy's removal could lead U.S. adversaries to take advantage of the crippling state of Congress on a number of fronts.” This is pure propaganda. A “crippling state of Congress.” Says who? The “crippling state” of American government is in the White House, which conducts foreign policy and whose appeasement policies have produced wars in Europe and now the Middle East. We need to understand that what is really happening is a Russian-inspired war, using Iran and its proxy, Hamas. Instead of going into this, Fox host Griff Jenkins interviewed Rep. Tim Burchett on the air and confronted him with the bogus assertions about how the House was supposedly paralyzed by the lack of a Speaker of the House. Burchett, one of the eight voting against McCarthy, calmly rebutted each claim, noting that the Senate wasn’t in session and that Israel has plenty of U.S. support anyway. “That is not even in the realm of reality,” Burchett said, countering the notion that Congress would somehow need to pass emergency legislation to deal with the Middle East and that the lack of a full-time Speaker was a problem. He said, “You honestly think we’re going to run down to Washington this weekend and pass legislation to take care of something in Israel?” “We’ve already funded Israel,” he said. The issue, Burchett said, was Biden’s $6 billion pay-off to Iran, the sponsor of Hamas. The other issue is that Iran is sponsored by Russia, the same country waging war on Ukraine. Perhaps the Hamas war on Israel will wake up Burchett and his colleagues to the reality of what is happening in Ukraine every day, with constant attacks from Russian weapons and Iranian-made drones. We need to be reminded of some basic facts. On October 23, 1983, Russia-backed Iran ordered and carried out the suicide bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon, killing 241 American military personnel. An Iranian drove the car bomb into the barracks. I attended and covered the 2003 trial in which the detailed evidence of the Iranian role in this bombing was presented in detail. As I reported for AIM at the time, the trial involved a case brought against Iran by attorneys Steven Perles and Thomas Fortune Fay on behalf of the families of the Marines who were killed. Under a U.S. law passed in 1996, victims of terrorism can sue state sponsors of terrorism and collect damages from the assets that the terrorist regime may hold in the U.S. The trial featured a videotaped deposition of a former terrorist insider named “Mahmoud,” who described in detail how Iran ordered the terrorists to attack the U.S. Marines and French troops in Lebanon, and revealed that the driver of the truck carrying the bomb was himself an Iranian. In a videotaped deposition, former CIA officer Robert Baer testified that there was no doubt, based on the best intelligence information, that Iran was behind it. Baer said this bombing, and a previous bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, were “acts of war.” Dr. Reuven Paz of Israel testified via videotape that before the Marine barracks bombing Israel had intercepted a message from the government of Iran to its Ambassador in Syria, calling for military attacks on the foreign forces in Lebanon, including the Americans. Paz, who worked for the Israeli security service known as Shin Bet, said the intercepted message was provided to the CIA. Admiral James Lyons, who was Deputy Chief of Naval Operations at the time, testified that he received a copy of the message, which described the need for a “spectacular action” against the Marines. But he received the message two days after the bombing. Sergeant Steve Russell, who was guarding the embassy on that fateful day, said he had been warned about a possible car bombing of the barracks literally hours before it happened. He warned others, and stayed alert. But, as a “peacekeeper” under restrictive rules of engagement, he carried an unloaded gun and the compound was surrounded only by concertina wire. The car bomber drove through all of this into the barracks. This evidence was accepted by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who found Iran liable for billions of dollars in damages. Instead of making Iran pay, Biden gives $6 billion to Iran. Doesn’t this constitute something more important than dozens of shell companies and payments to his drug-addicted son Hunter? Here is where we need the focus of the media. President Trump had a different approach. He ordered the assassination of Iranian general and top terrorist leader Qassem Suleimani. Suleimani headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds (IRGC) Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization responsible for producing many of our wounded warriors from Middle East conflicts. More than 600 American soldiers died at his direction. Trump killed an anti-American terrorist leader, while Biden pays off the sponsors of that terrorism. Isn’t this impeachable?
![]() The Fall of Ukraine and the Coming Refugee Disaster By Cliff Kincaid If you hate open borders, wait until Ukraine falls, NATO-member Poland gets invaded by Russia, and millions of Europeans flood into the United States. This shocking plan has been adopted by the anti-Ukraine faction of the House Republicans, whether they want to admit it or not. If that happens, and that is the plan articulated by Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, look for Biden to blame the GOP for a major foreign policy disaster moving into the 2024 campaign season. Greene has just posed for pictures with the Marxist women of Code Pink to oppose aid to Ukraine. The good news is that the House Republicans are in control of the power of the purse. The bad news is that they can use it to create another disaster involving open borders, this time involving Europeans escaping a wider war in Europe. The issue is the use of executive and legislative power. Once again, China Joe is using executive orders to give away taxpayer dollars to deadbeat students. The Supreme Court has ruled that is illegal. But he is doing it again anyway. However, the House of Representatives has the constitutional power to appropriate money, and it is the use of this power to fund or defund the federal government that was at the heart of the decision to evict House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. He did not want to use the power the Constitution gave the House. Hopefully, this outcome will awaken many conservatives to the moral bankruptcy and ignorance of the Fox News channel, whose commentators condemned the eight Republicans who voted for fiscal sanity. I heard a Fox News radio report that put it this way: Eight Republicans voted against McCarthy for working with Democrats but they worked with Democrats to get him out of that office. That was the Fox way of depicting the fiscally responsible Republicans of being hypocrites. The eight Republicans voted against their own “leader” and the Democrats followed along. That is far different than McCarthy counting on Democrat votes to pass a budget resolution, after failing to do his job. On her show, Fox host Harris Faulkner interviewed members of the eight, but quoted two Rupert Murdoch properties, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, to criticize the eight. The headline on Fox said, “Eight Republicans Side With Democrats To Upend House.” The Republicans had every right to force McCarthy to vacate the Speaker’s chair. McCarthy agreed to that provision when he ascended to the chair. Faulkner and her ilk should read the Constitution and understand the power of the purse. Here are the appropriate sections: “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.” — U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 7, clause 1. “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” — U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 9, clause 7. It would be nice if Fox would remind us of these constitutional provisions. On Newsmax, so-called historian Victor Davis Hanson condemned the eight, saying they have “no plan.” Host Carl Higbee said he had heard that claim repeatedly but the fact is that the House has the power to close the government down. Exactly right. This is leverage. That is enough of a plan. If Biden can make up his own powers of the purse, let the House members exercise their constitutional responsibilities in response. They have every right to do so. Hence, the House can pass smaller budgets and defund various programs and federal activities, such as Special Counsel Jack Smith and aid to Ukraine, Russ Vought, President of Citizens for Renewing America, noted “promises made by McCarthy to pursue a bold conservative agenda,” including:
McCarthy failed and he’s out. His promise to Biden to bring up aid to Ukraine is also out. The danger going ahead is that the House will defund some worthwhile activities, such as assistance to the people of Ukraine. This is a real danger that poses a major threat to Europe as a whole and the United States. But Biden’s failure to protect the U.S. border has led them to this point. They figure that if Biden will not protect the U.S. border, why should the Congress fund Ukraine in its war to protect its border? It is a powerful argument. As a result, Biden will be forced to rally the Europeans to support Ukraine. And that is not a bad thing. The long-term danger is that if the U.S. stops supporting Ukraine, America’s sons and daughters will have to go there, in defense of NATO. As we discuss in our report, The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is under the influence of geopolitical strategist Alexander Dugin, who not only wants to take all of Ukraine but is devising an alliance of Russia, China, and Iran called Eurasianism. Back in 2014, when Russia first invaded Ukraine, I wrote a column quoting blogger Anton Shekhovtsov as documenting the communist and fascist elements of this new Russian ideology. Shekhovtsov published an article that included a photograph of Dugin and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. It turns out that Duke had traveled to Russia and had written a book, The Secret Behind Communism, claiming that Jews brought Soviet communism to Russia. Duke ran a story about his meeting with Dugin back in 2005, describing him as “one of the leading intellectuals of Russia's patriotic movement.” An article about Duke's visit to Russia said, “David Duke has seen that a proud and free Russian people are a key to the survival of European mankind. He is as important to this new revolution for freedom and heritage here today as John Reed was for Bolshevik enslavement 87 years earlier.” The latter is part of the current propaganda that Soviet communism was somehow "imposed" on Russia by international bankers, code language for Jews. We went into more detail about Dugin in our book, Back from the Dead: The Return of the Evil Empire. If Fox wants to honestly probe the eight members and their opposition to aid for Ukraine, let them bring on Gaetz, Biggs and the rest and ask them about Dugin’s relationship with Putin. Let us have a real debate on what Russia is doing and what drives the new Russian ideology. In that debate, let us press Biden on his no-win strategy for Ukraine. Zelensky and the leaders of the people of Ukraine should be completely open and honest about what it will take for them to win this war. Then we can decide what it means for the American people if they fail. The open borders of the United States have created a “man-made disaster” of millions flowing in. In rectifying this problem, the House Republicans should avoid creating another flow of refugees in Europe, many of whom will want to escape to the United States. Another man-made disaster will surely follow if Ukraine falls and NATO-member Poland is then made to be Putin’s next target. After Ukraine falls, look for Israel to be the next target of a Russia-backed nuclear Iran. And, of course, the Republic of China on Taiwan is toast. This is Dugin’s vision and our nightmare.
Hi. I’m Fr. Matt. I’m from St. John’s Catholic Church. And I’m a priest of Jesus Christ.
And because I’m a priest of Jesus, I’m here today. I’m not sure how many of you saw that movie this summer—The Sound of Freedom—starring Jim Caviezel. Great film. It’s about protecting kids from sex trafficking. Progressives hate it. I’m not sure why. Anyway, during the film, Caviezel’s character—Tim Ballard, a real-life Christian—he’s asked why he would risk his life to rescue a child he doesn’t even know. To which he replies simply: “Because God’s children are not for sale.” Maybe you don’t have kids in the public school system—maybe you do—I don’t—but I’m here because these children don’t belong to morally bankrupt school boards—they belong to God. Parents, YOU have custody—your children are your responsibility. But really, they belong to God. And because they belong to God, its’ YOUR job to protect them: from error, from sin, and even from your local school board, if necessary. And it’s now necessary. Let me be clear: Parents, these are YOUR kids. These kids are yours. But they’re GOD’s first. And that’s why I’m here today: Because God’s children are not for sale. I’m not saying anybody’s trafficking children here. But this school board—by their dangerous gender policy—these people are trafficking in children’s souls. So what can we do? Because this current school board couldn’t care less about what you think. Fortunately, one of the board members slipped up recently. He kinda revealed where the board is vulnerable. Maybe some of you remember back in June—during a board meeting—some attendees chose to quote the Bible while voicing their opinions. This raised concerns for one board member—David Bass-- who said this: "The amount of prayer happening in this room... I find it uncomfortable in a public school setting. And so whether you are trying to protect trans students or whether you are speaking against Policy 443, I would encourage folks to really think about, are there ways to make your points… without public prayer?" Actually, there aren’t ways to make our point without prayer. Because this board won’t listen. But God will. Because these are HIS children. So that’s what the Catholics here are about to do. We’re gonna pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. We’re gonna pray for the board—that they stop changing children’s names. OR, if they continue with such policies, we pray that their names—the names of our board members—be changed (after the next election). Then we’re gonna process around the block, praying the rosary. Join us if you’d like—as we make the school board a little uncomfortable—as we cry out to someone who WILL listen—Whose Name doesn’t change—Whose Name is Jesus. ![]() Mark Levin is a Big Phony By Cliff Kincaid I don’t like the views of Rep. Matt Gaetz on Ukraine or marijuana. He is against aid to Ukraine but in favor of legal dope. But he is right about Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s failure to act like a real conservative in managing the affairs of the House. McCarthy has failed to use the power of the purse to force conservative measures on the Senate and on China Joe. As a result, he depended on Democrats to keep the government open, as if that is a good thing. Sometimes it is more advisable to close the government than keep it going. This is such a time. The federal government has become tyrannical. Do we need any more evidence of that? People in the private sector cope with uncertainty every day, wondering if they will keep their jobs. Let the bureaucrats sweat for a change. In any case, if McCarthy is going to work with the Democrats, let the Democrats save him. That is the meaning of the Gaetz motion to force McCarthy out. It sends a strong message. In the face of McCarthy’s mismanagement of the House, Fox News “conservative” Mark Levin has attacked Gaetz, saying McCarthy is more conservative and doing a great job. Levin makes millions selling books that are pale echoes of what others like anti-communist analyst Trevor Loudon have documented with hard facts decades ago. A supposed expert on the American Marxist revolution, Levin’s book American Marxism is full of holes and based on shoddy research. Since then, he has published a book trashing the Democratic Party. But since McCarthy works with Democrats, what is the purpose of trashing the Democrats? Before McCarthy won his post, we warned that he was a key member of a cabal that worked to defeat staunch conservative Rep. Steve King, forcing him out of Congress. As I noted at the time, when former Rep. King came under media attack for speaking out in favor of saving Western civilization, McCarthy arranged to have King replaced on various congressional committees and orchestrated his defeat. King had supported a House Internal Security Committee to uncover communists. In the latest escapade, he attempted to keep the government “open” by saying that Republican investigations of the Bidens and the “impeachment inquiry” into Joe Biden would be de-funded. But what if one or more of these officials gets impeached? These hearings have featured Republican politicians competing for face time on Fox News and nothing much has been done. We all know the Bidens were selling influence. What else is new? That happens all the time, with politicians of both political parties. Some of it is legal, some of it is not. The real power is Barack Hussein Obama, whose “Permanent Revolution” is on-going. But Republicans lacked the intestinal fortitude to impeach Obama because he was our first black president. He knew all along what Biden was doing. It was Obama who approved the Russia-gate probe of Trump. On November 10, 2017, at a National Press Club event, America’s Survival Inc. (ASI) explained how Barack Obama planned to continue his Marxist revolution in America. Trevor Loudon and I warned of the left’s plan to take the concept of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition and create a new American majority fusing communists, progressive whites, New Agers, felons, minorities, Islamists, potheads, and legal and illegal immigrants, as part of a long-term strategy to put conservative states into the Democratic Party column. This strategy is still on track. McCarthy talks about border security when millions have already poured into the country. Where is the McCarthy plan to deport them? There is no reason to believe McCarthy has since developed the intestinal fortitude to hold the Bidens accountable. He is just buying time, hoping he will look tough. The only way to really look tough is to use the power of the purse, such as by de-funding Special Counsel Jack Smith and others prosecuting former President Trump. Whether you like him or not, Trump is the candidate who temporarily derailed Barack Hussein’s Obama’s “Permanent Revolution,” which was supposed to go forward under “President” Hillary Clinton. He is clearly seen as the one candidate in the future who can stop the Democrats from consolidating their power. That’s why he is under attack. As I predicted in a column a year ago, Republicans are at a crossroads. Trump is attempting to save the GOP from itself while others, such as Kevin McCarthy and Senator Mitch McConnell, want to “save” the party from Trump by working with Democrats.
![]() Making Russia Great Again By Cliff Kincaid Tucker Carlson just gave a great speech to the Center for Christian Virtue in Cleveland, emphasizing the evil nature of abortion, while he has made a name for himself by opposing American aid to the people of Ukraine. These courageous people are struggling to survive the Russian bombardment in the same way the unborn baby tries to escape the murderous tools of the abortionist. “Abortion has gone from being tolerated to celebrated,” he said. “What kind of sick people would tell you that killing your baby is a pathway to joy?” But what kind of sick people celebrate a war on innocent people in a former Soviet republic under attack by a corrupt nation led by a former KGB colonel? Carlson’s two-faced approach to the reality of death and destruction in the womb and Ukraine reflects the confusion that grips the modern conservative movement. In the same way, some modern-day “conservatives” in the House of Representatives think that because Biden does not want to protect American borders, the borders of Ukraine should be sacrificed to the Russians. This, too, is a bizarre way to look at reality. If America is in decline, so is the conservative movement. One factor is Russian influence in the conservative movement, the subject of the recent America’s Survival report, The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine. By the way, in Ohio, supposedly a Republican or Red state, the odds are that November’s Issues 1 & 2 will pass. As noted by the Center for Christian Virtue, Issue 1 would create a right to abortion up to birth without limitations in the Ohio Constitution, while Issue 2 would target communities with more drugs by legalizing recreational marijuana. The probable success of these two initiatives reflects the fact that both major political parties have apparently decided to sacrifice their children to an evil future. Rather than fight this, conservatives are confused and demoralized. They’re fighting among themselves, as a new “populist” and “nationalist” faction has made termination of aid to Ukraine a major priority. Confusion is also evident in the Republican-controlled House of Representatves, where House Speaker Kevin McCarthy seems to prefer working with Democrats than conservative Republicans. No wonder China Joe gave an address on Sunday, gloating about getting the better of McCarthy and forcing Republicans to pass a budget bill with Democratic Party votes. Rep. Matt Gaetz immediately said he would move to evict McCarthy from his job. This move is justified but will only add to the confusion. McCarthy had the opportunity to cut the budget and get some additional border security measures but he capitulated to Biden and the Democrats. He gave up the Republicans’ only power -- the power of the purse -- so they would not be blamed for a government shutdown. It was fear. McCarthy cut a side deal with Biden and Democrats to bring up a separate bill to fund Ukraine. For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky didn’t do his country any good by condemning Russia’s war in the context of its impact on climate change. Such rhetoric may please the liberals in the United States but it demonstrates a lack of seriousness about what is really at stake. Back in 2016, two years after Russia’s first invasion of the country, Ukraine became one of the first countries to sign and ratify an agreement under the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change to regulate activities for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Then, in 2019, the United Nations notes that Zelensky “adopted a Decree on Sustainable Development Goals until 2030 aimed at ensuring the national interests of Ukraine in the sustainable development of the economy…” None of this did anything to deter a full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. When Biden encouraged an invasion of Ukraine, saying it might only be a minor “incursion,” he apparently thought the Russians would make quick work of its former Soviet republic. Hence, Zelensky was offered a plane ticket out of the country. Instead, he stayed and led the people in a fight for their national survival. Today, the Russians, with the help of China, Iran, and North Korea, are hanging on to some territory in eastern Ukraine, as well as Crimea. Zelensky is constantly pleading for more and better arms, but Biden doesn't provide them. Less than 5 percent of our defense budget is being spent on this struggle. The solution to these problems is to be consistently pro-life, as demonstrated by the Ronald Reagan presidency, and practice peace-through-strength internationally. But the Reagan Doctrine of supporting anti-communist freedom fighters is now controversial. In Kyiv, Ukraine, a street was named in honor of Ronald Reagan. But in Crimea, now under Russian occupation, a monument has been constructed which says that, in the same way the Russians seized Crimea from Ukraine, the Russians will also take Alaska back from the United States. The monument, with the contours of Crimea and Alaska, declared, “To Future Generations: We Returned Crimea, You Are to Return Alaska.” Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy responded with the tweet: “Good luck with that! Not if we have something to say about it. We have hundreds of thousands of armed Alaskans and military members that will see it differently.” However, the danger to Alaska, an oil-rich state, is coming not from Russia but Biden, whose administration has just canceled what Dunleavy calls “legally-issued leases” for oil and gas in the section of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) designated for oil and gas development. In effect, Biden is making Russia, an oil-rich country, even more powerful. That policy, combined with his “green energy” approach to cars and trucks, makes the United States weaker by comparison. All of this makes sense when you consider the fact that it has been documented that the Bidens received millions of dollars from oligarchs in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. But rather than examine the Russian influence in the Biden Administration, Republicans are arguing among themselves over aid to a country invaded by Russia. Putin must be laughing himself silly as Republicans squabble and Biden makes Russia great again.
![]() By Delegate Mark Fisher Violent crime is rising throughout Maryland and coming soon to your community. The reason is simple: Maryland’s 'soft on crime' laws. Jason Billingsley was arrested Wednesday night for the murder of Pava LaPere. Due to Maryland law, Billingsley was released early on "good credit” despite his conviction of first & second-degree assault, attempted rape, and violating probation. He received "good credit” - really? In addition to the murder of LaPere, Billingsley is wanted in connection with another instance of attempted murder, rape, & arson. Now, Marylanders are experiencing a rise in carjackings & thefts across Baltimore City and elsewhere. Some carjackings have turned violent, including one resulting in the death of Darrell Benner, who was shot and killed while defending his nephew. Many carjackings are related to a rise in juvenile crime. Legislation passed by the Maryland General Assembly makes it almost impossible to hold juveniles accountable. Laws, such as the Child Interrogation Protection Act and the Juvenile Justice Reform Act are largely responsible. Put simply, Maryland Democrats believe that crime should be free of consequences. Rest assured, I will continue to fight against these dangerous & extremist agendas What is Russo-Nazism
By Alexander Gofen (Alexander Gofen is a retired mathematician, commentor, and publisher, The Judeo-Christian). First, in order to clarify terminology, we distinguish the benign Nationalism vs. malign Nationalism or Nazism. Benign Nationalism, similar to patriotism, is good and necessary for preservation of own people and own nation. Nationalism is benign and good as long as it does not pit one people against the other, does not resort to violence and lawlessness against others, nor does it engage in wars and aggression against other nations. On the contrary, Nazism (as in Germany under Hitler, but not only there), while setting a valid goal of common good for own people, pits one people against others, resorting to violence up to extermination of other peoples. Nazism justifies and engages in aggressive wars against other nations. The mindset of certain segment of citizenry in Russia during its history may be characterized as Russo-Nazism, which has particularly developed in the last 20 years. Judging by polls, about 70% of the citizenry approve of the Putin's imperialist policy and aggression against Ukraine. The main concepts of this policy are well expressed in this sermon by an Orthodox priest. The sermon exemplifies the preaching of the Russian Orthodox Church which blesses Russia for wars against the same Orthodox Christians in Georgia and Ukraine, while whitewashing and glorifying Stalin! The most recent program revealing the essence of the Russian imperialism and nazism is the statement by Тимофей Сергейцев, "What should Russia do with Ukraine" [1]. These concepts are...
Long before the liberation coming with the "Perestroika" in the end of the 1980s, the USSR had been on a special mission too against the rest of the world, though it was spreading communism (rather than the special "Russian spirituality"). Whichever the mission, here is a list of aggressive wars by USSR/Russia only in 20-21st centuries:
Having deep roots, Russian imperialism only changed its colors: from the "proletarian internationalism" during the USSR to the contemporary Russian Nazism. True, some internal policies of Russia are good, such as bans on propaganda of sodomy and transgenderism. This good, however, cannot justify the evil and war crimes committed by Russia in an aggressive war on Ukraine and other unfortunate neighbors. 1. Тимофей Сергейцев, "Что Россия должна сделать с Украиной" (What should Russia do with Ukraine). April 3, 2022, РИА Новости. https://lebed.com/2022/8345.htm ; the source https://ria.ru/20220403/ukraina-1781469605.html ![]() De-Nazification and De-Communization in Russia By Cliff Kincaid The Hitler-Stalin Pact, which started World War II, has been carefully “forgotten” by the Russian government in its war against Ukraine, a former Soviet republic. In a major on-going Russian propaganda operation, former KGB operative and Russian President Vladimir Putin insists that it is Ukraine which must be de-Nazified. This rationale for his war on Ukraine feeds two elements of Russian society, left over from the Soviet days, providing dramatic evidence of a very sick society that must go through the process of both de-Nazification and de-communization. As discussed in the U.S. military monograph, “Psychological Operations: Principles and Case Studies,” they include the fact that “Virulent anti-Semitism was imbedded in Soviet society, along with fears of a Jewish conspiracy dating back to the fraudulent Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” In addition, “There was also the memory of Nazi fascism, which cost 20 million Soviet lives during World War II and the fear that German revanchism would once again rear its ugly head.” “Soviet propagandists simply combined the two images,” noted authors Frank L. Goldstein and Benjamin F. Findley. The Protocols is a document about a Jewish conspiracy to rule the world that was established to be a Russian forgery used by the Nazis as well as the Soviets to stoke anti-Jewish hatred. The Protocols is discussed in the new America’s Survival report, “The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine.” In their warped worldviews emphasizing the need for a scapegoat, the Russian communists and the Nazis had a common enemy, the Jews, leading to their truce, the Hitler-Stalin Pact. Eventually, of course, Hitler launched a full-scale war on Russia, breaking the bond that existed between these two vile philosophies. The totalitarian regimes fought over entire countries and Soviet republics such as Ukraine. Some Ukrainians saw the Nazis as preferable to the Russian communists. But it was Soviet dictator Stalin who originally decided that the Nazis could be trusted and that communists and Nazis could unite to defeat the West. Vladimir Putin knows this, but carefully ignores the historical record when attempting to justify his war on Ukraine. The former KGB operative understands the need for “active measures,” a campaign of deliberate lies and distortions emanating from Moscow which attempts to control the narrative over what is happening on the ground and what is at stake in Europe. In this campaign, as our report shows, he has the complete support of the Russian Communist Party, which is not only legal but supports Putin’s foreign and domestic policies. Today, it is Ukraine, not Russia, that has been de-Nazified, as evident in the fact that the former Soviet republic and Christian country has elected a Jewish president. Indeed, after Ukraine’s anti-communist revolution of 2013, Ukraine outlawed both communist and Nazi symbols and propaganda. It wanted a future based on Western values. By contrast, as our report documents, Putin relies as a political strategist, Alexander Dugin, who combines elements of communism and Nazism and the occult to guide the Russian geopolitical strategy known as Eurasianism, a revival of the Russian empire that includes Communist China and Islamic Iran as key allies. As someone who met President Ronald Reagan and witnessed the development of his “Reagan Doctrine” of support for anti-communist freedom fighters around the world, it is truly disheartening to see what passes for “modern” conservatism embracing the cause of Russia over Ukraine, based on lies that Russia has discarded its communist past and that Putin is a Christian. But the “conservative” case against aid to Ukraine misses the mark in several ways. First and foremost, these “conservatives” are conveniently forgetting the fact that Ukraine was disarmed under a series of Democratic Party politicians, starting with Barack Obama, who presided over the first Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some of this is discussed in the important book Disarmed, which looks back even further, to the time when then-Senator Barack Obama toured Ukraine for the purpose of destroying the country’s conventional weapons stockpiles. He did this in collaboration with Republican Senator Richard Lugar, a globalist who thought the Russians could be trusted not to invade the former republic. In 1994, Democratic President Bill Clinton arranged the nuclear disarmament of Ukraine, sending its Soviet-style nuclear weapons back to Moscow for safe-keeping. But like Senator Obama’s effort, the deal, known as the Budapest Memorandum, was a false hope. It provided an aggressive Russia another opportunity to seize its former republic. In a real sense, the United States set Ukraine up for the kill. Obama, Clinton, and now Biden must accept responsibility for what Russian has done under Putin. It was Biden who indicated a minor Russian “incursion” in Ukraine could be tolerated. But there is no reason for conservatives to fall for Putin’s propaganda. What is needed is what the French did for the American revolution. Without the French support, as Mark W. Smith notes in his book Disarmed, the American revolution probably would have failed. It would be laughable, were it not so tragic, for Putin to assume the mantel of anti-Nazi fighter, when it was the Soviet regime which he served in the KGB that made Hitler’s war in Europe possible. During the late 1980s Putin was a KGB colonel and spy in East Germany. Later, he became head of the FSB, the KGB's main successor. It is distressing to witness some in the “conservative” movement parrot his propaganda. I worked for Reagan’s favorite newspaper, Human Events, when it was anti-communist. But like publications and outlets such as Breitbart, Stephen K. Bannon’s “War Room” show and Tucker Carlson’s broadcasts, Human Events under editor Jack Posobiec and “Senior Content Contributor” Charlie Kirk has taken a dangerous turn, after being sold. Sadly, it has become an outlet for anti-Ukraine propaganda. We discuss all of this in our new report. For those conservatives interested in how the Russians stage their propaganda campaigns, a 1984 video on “Soviet Active Measures” was produced by the U.S. Information Agency under President Reagan and is available on C-SPAN. It features a Soviet KGB defector, Stanislav Levchenko. I interviewed John Barron, author of KGB Today: The Hidden Hand, back in 1983, for Human Events. He said the Soviet objective has been to drastically curtail U.S. defense spending. Which means that the current “conservative” push to slash the defense budget, including spending on Ukraine, serves Soviet propaganda purposes. Today, however, the Russian government is so brazen that it pumps propaganda directly into America through Russia Today (RT), the Moscow-funded English-language channel. RT currently highlights Tucker Carlson’s desire to interview Putin and says he will soon have a show on another Russian television channel. Carlson denied the report. When Tucker had a show on Fox News, he featured an “anti-war” voice by the name of Tara Reade, who has reportedly fled to Russia, where former NSA/CIA analyst Edward Snowden has defected and gained citizenship. America has a lot of problems, including an open border, as a result of Biden’s failures as president, but sacrificing Ukraine in the face of this onslaught only works to the benefit of an emerging anti-American alliance capable of destroying America and our allies, including Israel and Taiwan. We have it within our power to do something about the Biden presidency. But only Ukraine has the immediate capability and desire to do something about the Russian problem. It can win with our help, including more and better weapons. Anything less is a betrayal of the Reagan Doctrine of supporting freedom-loving people.
