Did the Obama-Biden Team Tell the Intelligence Community to Put All Things Israel and Hamas Below the Cut Line on the Intelligence Priorities Stack?

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

Not well understood, even inside the world of the Intelligence Community (IC) is the Intelligence Collection Stack. Intelligence Community Directive 204 (ICD 204) lays out the process to establish the list of Intelligence Collection priorities. This is a very important IC list established to apportion the vast resources of the IC to the prioritized list. Above the line, IC resources are applied. If the requirement does not make the cut line, it means that raw intelligence may not be collected on the topic. The House and Senate Intelligence Committees should demand to know immediately, what did the Intelligence Priorities stack look like on October 5, 2023. Did the Obama-Biden team give the Code Red to put all things Israel and Hamas below the Intelligence Collection Cut Line? [more...]

Americans for Sale, A Billion Dollars Plus Change Per Head

By Cheryl Chumley

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a presser on Sunday that so far, zero Americans captured by Hamas terrorists and dragged into Gaza have managed to escape - or have been released. Of course not. To Hamas, these are high-dollar items. And they know this administration will pay to play. Emboldened by a Joe Biden presidency that made clear, just a few weeks back, that the going rate per American hostage release is about a billion bucks, plus change, a head, these Hamas terrorists know a good thing when they've got it. U.S. prisoners are golden eggs to terrorists. Why release when you can sell? [more...]

Major Asset Manager is Investing U.S. Cash into China's Military-Industrial Complex

By Kenneth Rapoza

One of the largest U.S. investment management firms is investing funds into companies within China's military-industrial complex, according to a recent report from the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA). Vanguard's emerging markets fund is funneling investments into 60 subsidiaries of Chinese military companies, some of which the U.S. government has subjected to export controls, according to the report from CPA, a non-profit that represents American manufacturers and producers. Vanguard has also invested in eight Chinese companies that the U.S. government has sanctioned for engaging in "the state-sponsored oppression of ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of Western China."

The Israel Gaza War - We Must Choose Between Good and Evil

By Judd Dunning

The war between Israel and Hamas is not simply another entry in a long series of antiquated religiously feudal or geopolitically complex conflicts between the Middle East and the West. It's a real-time, blatant, merciless crossing of red lines with war crimes that can’t be ignored. The sheer savagery and darkness of this latest Hamas terrorist attack poses a profound and urgent question for all of us. What constitutes good and evil in 2023? There is no gray area when it comes to terrorism. Has good and evil changed recently? This is a question that can’t be dismissed, where one’s choices define one’s morality and character. Choose your position with care, for there is no room left here for moral relativism. A genuine carnage has occurred. There are no rationalizations to be made here. What’s black is now black as night and what white, white as day. [more...]

Second Amendment Matters in a Time of Crisis

By John Lott

A Sept. 20 Jerusalem Post headline prophetically warned: "Israelis should carry guns on Yom Kippur, police say." But as of 2022, only 148,000 Israelis carried permitted guns in public for protection - just 3% of the adult Jewish population. Twenty years earlier, more than 10% of adult Jews in Israel had permits. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called the recent police statement dangerous. He echoed sentiments common among Democrats in the United States: "Calling the citizens of Israel to come with weapons to the synagogue on Yom Kippur is not a security policy. It is dangerous populism." [more...]

Anti-Trump Judge Imposes Gag Order Preventing Trump from Calling Her Names

By Daniel Greenfield

Can you legally prevent Trump from making 'mean tweets’ about you? Sure, all you have to do is have a black robe courtesy of the ruling party. Vilifying “public servants” is probably the most fundamental civil right. It’s what distinguishes us from a monarchy or some sort of totalitarian system. Judge Chutkan would like to be a monarch and has barred Trump from calling her names. Citizens should be encouraged to vilify public servants. [more...]
