Hillary's deprogramming scheme

Barret Tillman - American Thinker  . . ."Leftists openly advocate draconian measures to advance their agendas. In 2019 teenage activist Greta Thunberg (“That Swedish truant”) infamously called for climate deniers to be put “against the wall.” When pinned down, she apologized in case anyone “misunderstood.”

"For more historical context, recall that in the Soviet Union, unknown thousands of dissidents were sent to mental institutions for detention or “cure.”  Building on existing policies, the 1958 addition to Moscow’s criminal code was aimed at those promoting “anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda.” There was no right of appeal.

"If any Democrats condemned Clinton’s appalling suggestion, so far the statements seem to remain well hidden. No matter how phrased, my Google searches for the subject produce this:

“It looks like there aren’t any great matches for your search.”

That fact alone implies liberal tolerance for, or outright acceptance of, Hillary Clinton’s nascent American gulag.

Hamas atrocities expose peril of liberals’ long embrace of Palestinians and Iran

 Whoever controls Joe must have had wisdom imparted unto them. | Just The News

Biden’s denunciation of grisly terror attacks can’t mask the left's years of coddling of Tehran and Gaza, experts say. We dumped the pro-American Shah to please the bloodthirsty Ayatollahs. 

Hands all behind backs; Stilton's Place: War in Israel (stiltonsplace.blogspot.com)

"As evidence of civilian atrocities mounted, President Joe Biden emerged in public to unequivocally denounce the Hamas terror attacks as “pure unadulterated evil” but his repudiation cannot hide the long embrace by his party’s liberals of the two main actors behind the staggering violence that rocked the Middle East: the political and military leadership in Palestine and their backers in Iran.

Even as American hostages remained in peril, the beheaded torsos of innocent civilians were collected from Israeli streets and Hamas and Tehran celebrated the bloodletting, many liberals in America were still trying to express empathy for the attackers.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib flew a Palestinian flag outside her official congressional office, while Rep. Ilhan Omar suggested Israel’s counteroffensive might be a “war crime.” Biden’s secretary of state tweeted, then deleted a call for a “ceasefire” just as Israel ramped up its rescue missions. The U.S. Department of State’s Palestinian Affairs Office literally implored Israel to “refrain” from “retaliatory attacks” before reversing course. On the streets of liberal cities and the campuses of left-leaning universities like Harvard, many even suggested Israel deserved blame for Hamas’ attacks.

Security experts said the weekend attacks exposed the peril of a decade-long Democrat pursuit of an elusive deal to end Iran’s nuclear and terrorist activities combined with a romanticism in liberal academic and political circles of a Palestinian "struggle."

That "struggle" has repeatedly resorted to inflicting terrorist casualties on innocent civilians dating to the days of Yasser Arafat and the Achille Lauro ship hijacking, where a wheelchair-bound American Jew was executed and thrown overboard.

The protest saw participants cheer the terror onslaught, celebrate the killing of Israelis, and mock Israeli counter-protesters.

Student groups at other colleges around the US also backed the terror attack on Israel.  At Harvard, at least 36 student groups signed onto a statement saying they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” without mentioning the terrorist atrocities.  Lawrence Summers, a former president of0Harvard and ex-secretary of the US treasury, condemned the statement, and the university’s silence on the war."...

"President Biden’s recent assertion of being “raised in the synagogues” has ignited a fresh wave of scrutiny over his history of making exaggerated background claims. This latest statement adds to a growing list of assertions that have raised questions about the accuracy of his story, and his mental faculty."

Did Biden Lie About Golda Meir Meeting? What We Know (msn.com)   . . ."While speaking to reporters about the conflict, Biden told a story about his meeting with Meir. He first visited Israel as a Senator in 1973 "just before the Yom Kippur War" and met with Meier in her office. After the meeting, Meir asked Biden if he wanted to take a photograph with her and noticed the "consternation" on his face, he said.

" 'She could tell, I guess, that I was concerned. She leaned over and whispered to me, 'Don't worry Senator Biden. We have a secret weapon here in Israel. My word is what she said, 'We have no place else to go,'" Biden said.

Ocasio-Cortez calls out ‘bigotry’ at pro-Palestine rally in NYC

I'd say good for AOC, but dare I hope? What must the others in the Squad say to her? TD

 Ocasio-Cortez calls out ‘bigotry’ at pro-Palestine rally in NYC; Lauren Sforza. "Supporters for Israel and Palestine gathered in demonstrations across the country after Hamas launched a massive attack against Israel Saturday. Groups supporting Palestinians gathered in Times Square — a demonstration that was also denounced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and Mayor Eric Adams (D).

“ 'It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement obtained by The Hill.

“ 'The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she said.

"Adams and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) also blasted the demonstration after it was met with criticism. 

“ 'At a moment when innocent people are being slaughtered and children kidnapped in Israel, it is disgusting that this group of extremists would show support for terrorism. I reject this. New York City rejects this. Do not use our streets to spread your hate,” Adams posted on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.

“ 'I am shocked and disgusted by the rally held here in NY this weekend celebrating death or attacks on civilians and showing swastikas. I condemn any demonstration that does this in the strongest possible terms. We must proceed on the basis of recognizing our shared humanity,” Bowman posted on X." . . .

The terrible price for Democrats choosing our leaders

 Satire:

Biden’s remarks on Hamas and Israel are tone-deaf and beyond insulting - American Thinker   . . ."David Ignatius writing for The Washington Post called Hamas a “formidable” and “technologically sophisticated foe” — but maybe Ignatius and WaPo should admit that the only reason Hamas is a “formidable” and “technologically sophisticated foe” is because of the generosity and leniency Obama, Biden, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and others gave/give to terrorist groups and regimes around the world.

But, Biden and the Justice Department are much more focused on Trump and his supporters and frequently call them terrorists while turning a blind eye to real terrorists in the Middle East that also threaten the United States. Heck, Garland even equated parents at school board meetings to terrorists!

Why don’t the leftists protest the actions of Mexican cartels at the border, or how brutal China is with its political and cultural dissidents? Because they don’t actually care about injustice—they’re simply pawns for the powers that be.

Democrats are paying for Biden now, good and hard - Victoria White Berger

Israel's Plan for Post-Hamas Gaza Revealed by Former Diplomat (msn.com)  "Israeli forces preparing to invade the Palestinian Gaza Strip have no intention of re-establishing a permanent presence in the Hamas stronghold, Israel's former ambassador to the United Nations has told Newsweek, as the under-siege coastal enclave withers under a pre-incursion air, land and sea bombardment.

"Danny Danon told Newsweek Israel is preparing to "use a lot of force in order to restore deterrence and in order to ensure that Hamas is not capable of doing it again," in reference to the group's weekend infiltration and rocket attacks.

"Israeli ground forces are soon expected to cross into Gaza "to destroy Hamas' capabilities," as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to do." . . .

"A dark melancholy sets in upon seeing the Gaza Strip on the front page of the newspapers again. Back when I was a kid, I would listen to the latest news about the eternal confrontation on the radio and not understand any of it. Somehow I thought that war was just the norm in some countries. Israel is back on the front page, and our memories of decades ago would have us thinking this is a new chapter of business-as-usual. It is not. The terrorist attack of Oct. 7 represents a change of cycle for the entire West. There is no turning back.". . .

Israel Reaps What Jimmy Carter Sowed - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Comment to this post: The press spent four years screaming that Donald Trump would start a nuclear war. Instead, we got the Abraham Accords, the first presidential visit to North Korea, the end of ISIS, stability in Ukraine, and a planned withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Under Joe Biden, that Afghan withdrawal became a national embarrassment. Israel is in its biggest war in half a century, and Europe is in its biggest war since the defeat of Hitler. Everyone is waiting in fear, wondering “what war will start next?”

Joe Biden’s foreign policy is a calamity.

Now ain't this a switch?

Did Hamas just jump the shark? - American Thinker   . . ."Shooting up a harmless music festival is way too much for even woke progressives — let alone flaunting the naked bodies of freshly murdered women.  As I write, the revulsion on the left is still lurking below the radar.  But there really is no turning back.  However, resistance to the sad reality of the excesses of Islamic extremism is a process early in its beginning.  So far, the Taliban’s push against letting Afghan women learn how to read and write has been mostly poo-poohed...let alone the general treatment of women like dogs.

"Mark Steyn, in After America, describes Muslim enclaves in Europe before the mullahs’ takeover of Iran.  They were pretty much integrated into the rest of their world.  Children freely played in public, women were often uncovered, tension was minimal.  Then came the collapse of the Shah, and the religious police began to show up." . . .

A new template has been cast.  Hamas and its cohorts are on the other side.  Citizens of the modern world are undeniably repulsed by the unfolding of this episode.  The reluctance of doctrinaire leftists to admit the grotesqueness of these events will likely fade, and that will be a profound embarrassment.  Hamas’s intention has been to instill fear in the hearts of its enemies.  Instead, they have provoked profound hate and an unstoppable willingness to fight back.

 

Schindlers list, 2023.

 

Here comes that old "just and lasting" trope again:

Israel doesn’t need crocodile tears - American Thinker . . .

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it…

 "Whoops!  That last sentence obliterates the tweet; “horrified and outraged by ... the brazen slaughter of innocent civilians” leading to a “just and lasting peace ... alike” means victim and barbaric aggressor are treated equally.  Huh?  Wipe those phony tears from your face, Mr. Former President; you aren’t fooling the Israelis.  Or all Americans.

Why Trump is so far ahead in the polls

 There are a couple of really good Republican candidates (i.e., DeSantis and Vivek), but Trump is still untouchable. I think I know why. Bookworm Room

"Donald Trump currently seems untouchable. Leftists (aka Democrats) and RINOS (aka Vichy Republicans) cannot understand why. After all, even those who love Trump can’t deny that he has his flaws. Politically, he trusted the wrong people, he failed to tame the swamp, he gave too much power to Fauci and too much protection to the drug companies and, possibly worst of all, he failed to restore the rule of law. These are big and consequential flaws. At a personal level, his fighting spirit has him picking fights when discretion would be wiser, and his speaking style, at least for me, is grating.

If you’re a conservative but can’t stomach Trump, DeSantis and Vivek seem like perfect options. DeSantis is a proven leader and a conservative one. After a brief flirtation with lockdowns, he realized that this was the wrong tactic and brought liberty and sanity to Florida. He’s fought for parents’ rights in the schools and for children’s safety and normalcy across Florida. He’s truly pro-life. He’s also an extremely able administrator and, for those who keep saying he’s a fake, he was one of the founders of the Freedom Caucus in Congress. I like him and would happily vote for him.

"Vivek, unlike DeSantis, is an unknown quantity in politics. However, he’s saying things that need to be said and saying them without backing down. Indeed, here are his truths, and we all know that they are, indeed, true:

1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

"I would vote for either man in a heartbeat, and most conservatives should, too, if either one tops the ballot. Based upon what I know about them, both would be competent presidents and good antidotes to the travesty that is the Biden administration." . . .

Hillary Clinton Calls for ‘Formal Deprogramming’ of Trump Supporters

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"Totalitarians want more than power. They want to use the coercive powers of government to control political and cultural thought and speech. Hillary Clinton in a recent CNN interview let slip her totalitarian instincts. After criticizing Donald Trump, who defeated Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, Clinton described Trump’s supporters as a “cult” and said they should be subjected to “formal deprogramming.” That is the language of totalitarianism — the language of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot. And it is the language of Hillary Clinton." . . .

Republicans bash Hillary Clinton for floating 'formal deprogramming' of Trump supporters (yahoo.com)   "Israel’s military has discovered unspeakable horrors in an Israeli community that was attacked by Hamas on Saturday, including dozens of dead babies, some with their heads chopped off, Israeli media reported. 

"According to local Israeli outlet i24News, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers moved into Kfar Aza, one of the communities Hamas terrorists invaded early Saturday morning, and discovered about 40 dead babies, some decapitated — highlighting the brutality of the invading forces.

"The IDF were removing the bodies of victims found in the area when they found the children's remains. Israeli soldiers are attempting to use bones to identify the victims, according to the report.

"It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mother, the father, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists killed them," IDF Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv said, describing the scene, i24News reported.

But we must understand, and Jews in the West must certainly understand, that this ideological rot, this abhorrent virus, this unimaginable disregard for life is not limited to a few thousand maniacs on American streets who happily spit upon the values of the country they claim to call home.

"No one should be surprised: Omar (D-Minn.) has made her hostility to Jews plain for years. 

"In 2019, she implied that American lawmakers who support Israel had been bribed to do so by AIPAC with a tweet saying “it’s all about the Benjamins baby.” In 2012, she tweeted “Israel has hypnotized the world.”

"When called on this, she claimed in her defense that “I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope. I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money.”

What Iran's penetration of Washington means -

  Caroline Glick (jewishworldreview.com)

This state of affairs is dangerous for the security of the United States. And it sends a clear message to Israel and other U.S. allies threatened by Iran.  Unless Washington cleans its house, it must be considered compromised.

"There is something terribly disturbing about the current state of Washington's foreign-policy establishment.

"Tuesday we were hit with the blockbuster reports by Semafor and Iran International exposing the depth of Iran's infiltration of the U.S. foreign-policy establishment and the Biden administration. The two simultaneously published reports revealed how beginning in 2014, Iran's Foreign Ministry established a circle of agents in Washington and Europe, which it referred to as the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI). Members of IEI were comprised of Iranian emigres sympathetic to the regime and its nuclear-weapons program.

"The experts were seeded in think tanks. The Iranian Foreign Ministry flew them to strategy sessions in various cities in Europe. The experts published a steady stream of articles supporting Iran, justifying its nuclear activities; sponsorship of terrorism; denial of civil and human rights to Iran's citizenry; and misogyny; among other things." . . .
