Lew,

These funds were part of the $95 billion military aid to Israel and Ukraine. No money to stop the invasion at our southern border. Trump supported it.

Writes Rick Rozoff:

B-2 Bomber, F-35, F-15 Jets Approved to Carry Nuclear Gravity Bombs – Pentagon

The B-2 Stealth Bomber, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-15 Eagle aircraft have been approved to carry and deliver new B-61 nuclear bombs, the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced in a new report.

“The Department of Defense OIG evaluated the extent to which the Air Force’s nuclear design certification of the F-15E, B-2 and F-35A to carry the B61-12 nuclear bomb complied with DoD and Air Force requirements,” the report said.

Now they’ve gone too far!

Writes Rick Rozoff:

Why Israel is the one thing you can’t protest against in Western universities.

The crackdown on pro-Palestine campus protests might just make college kids hate the establishment again.

If those who are now upset with the campus crackdowns had bothered to help expand the Overton window – that is, the range of acceptable speech and debate – back when others with whom they disagreed were trying to pry it open as widely as possible, they’d be reaping the benefits of true free speech now. Instead, the establishment has enjoyed a culture of impunity, enabled by the woke crowd and its constant demands for safe spaces. And now the government and universities have unilaterally decided that it’s Israel that needs a safe space and protection from college kids.

The Western establishment’s constant reductio ad absurdum, conflating pro-ceasefire and anti-genocide activism with anti-Semitism, is exactly the kind of thing that the establishment has been doing for years to ram through its agenda. Don’t like blowing cash on Ukraine? Then you’re doing the Kremlin’s bidding. Opposed to carbon taxes? You’re a science denier. Didn’t buy the ever-changing Covid narrative? You’re a threat to society.

Netanyahu

Writes John Leo Keenan:

Netanyahu admits in the video inserted in this article that “hundreds” of soldiers have died in Gaza.  The Gazans deny that only four batalions remain.  The Gazans’ daily reports published by presstv also reflect that.  They basically have adopted sniper/guerrilla tactics with the weapons they have.  They seek to minimize their losses and avoid large scale confrontations.  Without referring to anyone specifically, Netanyahu said that they have “spiritual scars” that are being attended to.  This must refer to the wounded.  “Spiritual scars” also may be indicating morale problems, perhaps even psychological problems.   Spiritual problems like “why me?” and “who am I? (“chosen?”) are spiritual problems imaginable in bad Israeli soldiers.  Killing numerous civilians can also cause spiritual scars.  

The U.N.’s effort now to recognize Gaza and the West Bank as Palestine and a new member of the U.N. is a major thing (what a move).         

Despite Biden’s warning, Israel’s Netanyahu tells TV personality Dr. Phil there’s ‘no other choice’ but to assault Rafah (msn.com)

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s Medical License Has Been Reinstated

Writes Ginny Garner:

Lew,

Here is great news, proving that once in a while there is justice in this fallen world! The courageous Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s medical license has been reinstated. After all her writings, interviews and speeches questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines, her license was suspended The Ohio State Medical Board wanted to submit her to a psychiatric evaluation and pay a $2,000 fine despite never having had a patient file a malpractice against her nor had complaints from a medical board. She explains her story to Del Bigtree on The High Wire:

The Unknown Citizen

Thanks, Rick Rizoff.

W.H. Auden

The Unknown Citizen (1940)
He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be
One against whom there was no official complaint,
And all the reports on his conduct agree
That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint,
For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.
Except for the War till the day he retired
He worked in a factory and never got fired,
But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.
Yet he wasn’t a scab or odd in his views,
For his Union reports that he paid his dues,
(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)
And our Social Psychology workers found
That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink.
The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day
And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.
Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,
And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured.
Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare
He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan
And had everything necessary to the Modern Man,
A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.
Our researchers into Public Opinion are content
That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;
When there was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went.
He was married and added five children to the population,
Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation.
And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education.
Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd:
Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

Pro-Israel right wing media outlets

Writes Jay Stephenson:

Many of the “alternative” right wing media outlets claim to not be pro-Israel, but devote nearly all their attention to the leftist protesters. This is exactly what the right wing mainstream media did after the Iraq War went bad. You’ll notice this with many of the right wing YouTube channels that obviously have high production costs for their channel, so they need extra cash flow to pay the bills.

In the USA, it is simply impossible.

“The United States is still a mere

Outhouse of England.”

Today it is an outhouse of Israel.

Depopulation

Writes Bill Madden:

This: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2024/05/paul-craig-roberts/the-covid-vaccine-truth-comes-out/ is from: www.lewrockwell.com 5/10/2024 and it discusses Covid.  Chris Cuomo claims the reason that Ivermectin was not allowed for treatment involved the profit motive.  While partially true, I feel that the major reason for Covid and the vaccine was to reduce world population with the more effective killer being the vaccine. 

I’m sure that you remember that the primary testing device was declared unsuitable by its inventor.  The device produced an overload of false positives and we were treated to joint government and health care B.S. that one could have Covid, not have any symptoms and still infect others with the virus.  This big lie induced more people than normal to accept the untested, emergency-use only vaccine which has harmed more people than the virus itself.

I have been in the military and worked for a few government contractors.  One of the primary reasons for my avoiding the vaccine was that the government was marketing it so aggressively.  Those controlling the world use governments to influence and control the masses.

If I’m correct and depopulation is the goal, we are enjoying a small period of calm between pandemics.  Get ready for the next health crisis and heavy loads of B.S.

Israeli Nonsense

Thanks, Hans-Hermann Hoppe. 

Some self-assured know-it-all on all matters liberal and libertarian claims to have established “the classical liberal case for Israel”.

Here’s from “The Constitution for Israel”:

ARTICLE 12: LANDS OF ISRAEL

Section 1.

  1. (a)  All lands of Israel shall be held in the public trust; land shall not be held in exclusive private ownership. 

    So much for this “expert’s” expertise.

Why not, indeed?

Writes Mark Higdon:

Why Not Abolish All Foreign Aid?, the estimable Jacob Hornberger proposed on LRC May 7. Ah, did that ever take me back! To the mid-1960s, when I was on my high school’s debate team. When the topic—Proposed: that the US government discontinue all foreign aidcame up for grabs, I seized the affirmative with the speed of John Wesley Hardin’s draw. Spoiler alert: It didn’t work then (nor will it work now). But at least I had about the most teen-age fun possible with my clothes on.

Majority Of Germans Reject Muslim Immigration, Express Fear Of Becoming A “Minority In Germany”

Writes Brian Dunaway:

Boy, those Germans sure got dumb. The first nation in the history of the world to achieve “universal” literacy among their population, now apparently 57% of them believe in a “debunked conspiracy theory.”

From the article:

“The most recent survey shows an absolute majority of 52 percent rather agree with the statement that ’Germany should generally no longer accept refugees from Islamic countries’. Only 34 percent say ‘disagree’ or ‘tend to disagree’ with this statement.

“There is even greater agreement with the statement that ‘in certain areas of my town or village, I have the feeling that I am no longer in Germany.’ According to the poll, 57 percent agree with the statement, while 36 percent do not share this feeling.”

An Indignant Smedley Butler Addresses the Bonus Marchers

Writes Ginny Garner:

Lew,

I was absolutely disgusted by the PT video of US troops led by MacArthur, Eisenhower and Patton on order from “Commander in Chief” President Herbert Hoover burning the tents and possessions of the WWI veterans marching on Washington DC for their promised bonuses. The troops tear gas and thrust bayonets at the Bonus Marchers. I found a lot of videos of this shocking event on YouTube. Here is an extended clip of the heroic Smedley Butler (“War is a Racket”) addressing the abused vets:
