The Human Face of Terror: Returned Israeli Hostage Speaks Out

First the back story on this young man, captured by Gazans on Oct 7th:  Freed Israeli hostage reveals unthinkable horror during captivity: ‘Something even the Nazis didn’t do’  Video.Do not look for this on MSNBC.

"A traumatized Israeli hostage held captive for more than two years in Gaza revealed that he was sexually assaulted and tortured so sadistically by Jew-hating terrorists that he begged them to let him starve to death.

"Rom Braslavski was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023, by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas ally, and subsequently stripped naked, starved and sexually abused until he was finally released earlier this year, he revealed in a chilling interview with Israeli media.

“I came back from a meeting with the devil,” Braslavski told Israel’s Channel 13. " . . .

. . . “It was sexual violence, and its main purpose was to humiliate me,” he said. “The goal was to crush my dignity. And that’s exactly what he did.”

"He said the abuse was frequent — and worse than Nazi torture." . . .

Meanwhile this young man is called a Nazi by Western Liberals in our streets. TD

Exposing the Left’s Selective Outrage 

. . . "This isn’t an isolated oversight. It’s a pattern in progressive activism, where causes that align with anti-Western narratives get amplified, while others languish in obscurity. The result? A movement that claims moral superiority but practices a form of boutique solidarity, prioritizing trendy issues over equally devastating ones.

"Defenders might blame media coverage, and there’s truth there. Gaza’s conflict generates endless viral footage, while Sudan’s war suffers from journalistic blackouts due to danger and inaccessibility. But this excuse falls flat when you consider that activists pride themselves on uncovering hidden injustices. If the left can mobilize against obscure corporate exploitations or niche environmental threats, why not amplify Sudan’s plight through their own networks? The BDS movement has built a global machine for Palestine; couldn’t similar energy spotlight Darfur?" . . .

President Trump must speak to the nation

  Allan J. Feifer

 "The most critical task ahead for our country is to institutionalize the vital progress made so far by passing laws, something that is increasingly foreign to the way sausage is made in Washington."

"Democrats just suffered their worst defeat in years. Dems are screaming for blood, and it’s doubtful that the once-powerful Chuck Schumer will survive as fellow Democrats seemed poised to oust him in a decidedly vicious manner. Today, we see Democrats cast into the wilderness without a leader or a clear vision. The question is: should we be celebrating?

"The answer is, not quite yet. Republicans have a nasty habit of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory, most often because of our own hubris, passivity, or strategic miscalculations. How Republicans leverage this profound Democrat defeat will likely make or break our chances to retain control of the House, and even the Senate, next year. Nothing matters more now than keeping President Trump’s momentum going through the end of his presidency.

Trump parks his biggest hardware in Maduro's front yard

Monica Showalter 

"Meanwhile, the ship's presence is bound to catch the attention of the region's other bad actors  that have collaborated with Venezuela -- Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba -- on transit." Now they must wait for a Democrat President.

"At this point, Venezuela's dictator, Nicolas Maduro, must be sleeping with two eyes open.

According to the U.K. Guardian:

The US navy has announced that the USS Gerald R Ford, regarded as the world’s newest and largest aircraft carrier, has entered the area of responsibility of the US Southern Command, which covers Latin America and the Caribbean.

The deployment of the ship and the strike group it leads – which includes dozens of aircraft and destroyer ships – had been announced nearly three weeks ago, and its arrival marks an escalation in the military buildup between the US and Venezuela.

The regime of the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, meanwhile, announced what it called a “massive deployment” of land, sea, air, river and missile forces, as well as civilian militia, to counter the US naval presence off its coast.

 

The US carrier joins other warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and aircraft based in Puerto Rico, forming the largest US military presence in the region in decades – seen as the biggest since the invasion of Panama in 1989.

"Trump can park his biggest ships anywhere he likes around the world -- the Persian Gulf, the South China Sea, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean. He's decided the coast of Venezuela would be a good place, and this being his best hardware, it signals that Venezuela is his biggest priority right now. And he's spent hundreds of millions to do it.

"Which is rather as it should be, given that Venezuela traffics drugs into the U.S., specifically, cocaine, obtained from coca paste from Bolivia and Colombia and serves not only as a transit center, but as a major, state-sponsored processor, turning out huge quantities of very pure drugs on an industrial scale to poison the fools who would take them in the U.S. and Europe, and ravage the quality of life for anyone who comes in their path. That's big dollars for them, but for us, it's an act of war.  They may be involved in other illicit drugs, too.

"It's still big question if the U.S. intends to use that aircraft carrier or if it's just passing through. Based on news reports, odds are good that the U.S. intends to bomb cocaine processing facilities inside Venezuela, which should create enough chaos for ambitious players to chase Maduro from office. Whether they are better or worse or legitimate or not is anyone's guess, but there's little doubt that the cocaine money is about to be gone, so there may be room for the legitimate winners of 2024's election if the U.S. plans its operations well." . . .

Trump’s Unyielding Defense of Persecuted Christians in Nigeria Shows Moral Courage 

 "In an era where weak-kneed globalists tiptoe around radical Islam’s atrocities, President Donald J. Trump has delivered a thunderbolt of truth and resolve, vowing “fast and vicious” action against the Islamic terrorists ravaging Nigeria’s Christian communities. Fresh off designating Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” for its abysmal record on religious freedom, Trump isn’t mincing words: Cut off U.S. aid to this complicit regime and prepare to unleash American might if necessary to halt the slaughter. This isn’t reckless bluster; it’s the raw, unapologetic leadership the free world desperately needs, a stark rebuke to the Obama-Biden-Clinton doctrine of endless apologies and empty summits that left faith under fire. 

It’s not communism versus fascism; it’s freedom versus slavery

"The big problem for leftists is that they look bad opposing freedom, so they have to lie and claim it’s something else as a distraction.  But make no mistake: It’s a battle between freedom and slavery, good and evil.  As Senator Mike Lee stated, conservatism is about limited government, fascism is about total state control — leftist overreach on steroids.  Don’t fall for the leftist psy-op!"   D. Parker

The People's Cube.

It’s not communism versus fascism; it’s freedom versus slavery   

"It’s easy to make the case that communism and fascism are two collectivist, big government, authoritarian ideologies that are stunningly similar.  Those trying to claim they are vastly different require a constant psy-op of pure BS on their part to stay viable.

"This is because the plain fact is that evil can never be honest and identify itself; instead, it has to come in the guise of a talented and charismatic speaker offering freebies.  Evil doesn’t tell you that you have to give up your freedom in exchange for the seemingly boundless hoard of goodies being offered.

"It also has to deceive and distract with convenient lies that divert attention away from what is truly happening.

"In the case of the ever-violent collectivist left, they continually beat the drum that, while they might be communists, socialists, or whatever.  They are also constantly claiming that they are fighting against “fascism” at every turn.  The national socialist media and the violent collectivist left do this so often that it’s almost become background noise to our daily political discourse, but it’s important to knock down this lie because it obscures the true conflict and hides what is at stake.

"Ideologies can be classified as either collectivist or individualist, from a fundamental philosophical standpoint, with these corresponding to the left and right sides of the political spectrum.  Fascism is defined as collectivist by the very nature of the word: from the word fascio (plural fasci), “bundle, fasces, group.”  The symbolism is that an individual stick is weak and can easily be broken, whereas a collection of sticks bundled together is far stronger.    

Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.  —Robert A. Heinlein

"Heinlein’s words demarcate the left and right in a manner similar to collectivists and individualists.  There are those who desire power over all, while there are others who simply want to live their lives and leave everyone alone and have others treat them the same." . . .

Leftists routinely slap “fascist” on conservatives, but they’re wrong
Fascism isn’t conservatism gone too far—it’s the *opposite*
Conservatism is about limited government
Fascism is about total state control—leftist overreach on steroids

REPORT: Olympic Committee Moves to BAN ALL Transgender Athletes from Women’s Events — Cites “Scientific Evidence of Advantages to Being Born Male”

Infidel Bloggers

"The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is reportedly preparing to ban all transgender women athletes from participating in the women’s category of Olympic competition. "The decision is grounded in “unambiguous scientific evidence” that individuals born male retain significant physical advantages, even after hormonal transition. "According to The Times, the IOC is on the brink of finalizing eligibility rules that would effectively bar transgender women, and those with differences in sexual development (DSD) who started after male-puberty, from competing in the female category beginning with the 2026 Winter Games in Milan-Cortina. "This marks a dramatic reversal from policies over the past decade which permitted transgender women to compete if they met specific testosterone thresholds and other criteria.' "

UPDATED: The BBC announces the BBC has launched a coup against the BBC

 The Times (London) 

"Meanwhile, Trump is suing the BBC for a reported $1 billion in damages, the damage having been done in a broadcast that was made shortly before his landslide election victory, and of which he has only now become aware." . . 

"Traditionally, you know there’s been a coup when a man in military fatigues turns up on the state broadcaster to announce that there hasn’t been a coup.

"So when the familiar voice of the state broadcaster, that of the BBC’s Nick Robinson, keeps waking you up at 7am to warn that a coup at the BBC is under way, you know it’s probably OK to go back to sleep.

"Not just OK, but positively encouraged. If you try to actually understand what’s going on at the BBC you might not sleep again until you’ve sat in a dark room for quite some time, with a wet towel wrapped around your head.

" 'All we can know for sure, at this point, is that the director-general, Tim Davie, and the chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, have resigned. Technically this was because last year, without anyone actually noticing until now, someone on BBC Panorama casually snipped out a minor, inconsequential, 50-minute-long segment of President Trump’s notorious speech on January 6, 2021, and welded together the front end and back end of what was left. What was broadcast was a cut-and-shut of a speech, which, with terrible inevitability, has now been involved in a horrific accident." . . .

UPDATE: The president said the BBC ‘butchered’ his Jan. 6, 2021, speech and ‘made it sound radical.’   . . . "The Epoch Times has reached out to the BBC for comment.

"A letter from Trump’s attorney Alejandro Brito has demanded that the BBC immediately retract “the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements,” apologize, and “appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused,” or face legal action for $1 billion in damages.

“ 'If the BBC does not comply with the above by November 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars) in damages,” the letter, obtained by The Epoch Times, states.

"A BBC spokesperson told The Epoch Times by email on Nov. 11 that it will review the letter and “respond directly in due course.”

"The broadcaster issued an apology after the resignations of its director-general, Tim Davie, and its CEO of news, Deborah Turness, on Nov. 9." . . .

AAG Dhillon Lowers the Boom on UC Berkeley After TPUSA Violence

 Nick Arama

"My colleague Jennifer Oliver O'Connell did a great report on the violence at the TPUSA event at the University of California at Berkeley on Monday. 

"Things got way out of hand with violence breaking out, and with radical leftists trying to break down the barriers keeping them back from the sold-out event.

We saw all of this at Berkeley back in 2017. @UCBerkeley was sued, and settled the case.
The @CivilRights will investigate what happened here, and I see several issues of serious concern regarding campus and local security and Antifa’s ability to operate with impunity in CA. https://t.co/aN7JzouXwl

"Then there was this exchange, which started with the agitators harassing an attendee who was wearing Charlie Kirk's "Freedom" t-shirt and trying to talk about Jesus Christ. It ended in violence and with an arrest. "Chinga la Migra" means basically "F**k the immigration authorities.". . .

 

"One of the agitators harassed the guy in the red shirt, calling him "white boy," as agitators tried to "de-arrest" the other man and pull him away from the police. They were unsuccessful.

"The Berkeley Police are now alleging that the man in the plaid shirt, Jihad Dphrepaulezz, took the chain that the Freedom shirt guy had around his neck and that the man was trying to get it back. Police said Dphrepaulezz was booked on suspicion of robbery and battery resulting in injury.

"Now Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has weighed in on the matter, and she's not happy with how Berkeley handled the matter. Sounds like Berkeley has got a lot of explaining to do. She noted that there had been problems there before." . . .
