Preventing not Containing Wars

The following article is by Alma Research Center. The Alma Research and Education Center is a non-profit organization focused on researching security challenges along Israel’s northern borders with Lebanon and Syria.

This new approach to Israel’s security is working. Act before your enemies can cause damage and death. Israel is becoming more proactive in their security issues, since the Muslim and Arab world loves the cowardly sneak attack. Rh

Following October 7, there has been a shift in Israel’s strategic outlook — from a policy of containment to a proactive, preventative approach: neutralizing threats at an early stage in order to prevent the enemy’s buildup and to avoid a deterioration of the security situation.

This policy is regularly criticized by regional governments, international actors, and foreign media, who portray it as Israeli aggression and reckless behavior.

A return to a containment policy would be a mistake. The policy Israel is implementing today prevents dangerous escalation and contributes to regional stability.

Sifting Sand

Good morning friends, I hope I am not interfering with your day, but I feel a foreboding in my spirit over what has happened in the last few weeks with President Trump and some of the headlines that have dominated the news. This is not a bash fest, but a concern and call to intercession on behalf of Trump and his recent policies.  I am concerned by his mental state, flashes of anger, and profanity seems to be getting the best of him.  A call to pray for Trump! 

As a supporter of Trump as we all are, his latest steps have brought the covenant of Israel in the forefront.  Why the close affiliation with Qatar, who funds Hamas with hundreds of millions of $$.  What of his push with Saudi Arabia to join the Abrahamn accords?  (they won’t join without a Palestinian state).  Abraham Accords? Worship the same God, no we don’t. Qatar and Saudi governments have a plan to invest in America to destroy us and conquer us.  They do it with $$. Funding and investing in universities to get a foothold into America. Jihad comes into America in various ways.  Why accept the new mayor of NY Mamdani into the White House? Two years ago he was Al Qaeda?  Can two walk together except they are in agreement? Amos 3:3

The visual in one week of Sunni and Shite in the White House is striking.  The spiritual connotation of handshakes, agreements and smooth words is concerning.  Where is Israel in this? Have we begun to tell them, (no settlements in Judea & Samaria) not talk with them.  Netanyahu agrees, what else can he do?  Israel is fast becoming a vassal state to us and the Islamist have become investment partners.  Money is the mother’s milk in politics.  God will have the last say. Psalms 2 God laughs at our feeble plans, He has spoken. 

Again I am not bashing Trump, I am concerned in my spirit the direction we have turned.  Woe unto those who seek to divide Israel.  God will judge.  

We are at the precipice of decisions that may and will affect us as a nation.  I fear Trump has been given bad advice.  I don’t blame Trump because even few Pastors understand the importance of standing with Israel and the eternal covenant with Abraham and the Jewish people.  

Final note, he needs a real spiritual advisor, and he needs to listen to them.  Jack Hibbs, Tom Hughes, where are you? Intercession according to the will and purpose of God.  Rh

Epilogue : The Bible says when you see these things happening, look up for your redemption draws near.  Wars, rumors of wars, deception, earthquakes, floods in Ethiopia, Indonesian, Thailand, and dormant volcano erupting in Ethiopia, just in the last two days!  Maybe the worst is the genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!  Maranatha

Hamas Reportedly Executes Over 30 Gazans As Terror Group Moves To Reassert Its Grip on the Strip

Article below from the “Times of Israel.” I guess this is in response to the report of yesterday that said many Gazans are finally speaking out on the horrible treatment and fear of Hamas.

A greatly weakened Hamas has sought to reassert itself in the Gaza Strip since a ceasefire took hold, killing at least 33 people in a crackdown on groups that have tested its grip and appearing to get a US nod to temporarily police the shattered enclave.

Pummeled by Israel during the war ignited by the October 7, 2023, attack that it led, Hamas has gradually sent its operatives back into the streets of Gaza since the ceasefire began on Friday, moving cautiously in case it suddenly collapses, according to two security sources in the territory.

On Monday, Hamas deployed members of its Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades military wing as it freed the last living hostages seized from Israel two years ago. It was a reminder of one of the major challenges facing US President Donald Trump’s effort to secure a lasting deal for Gaza, as the US, Israel and many other nations demand Hamas disarm.

Reuters footage shows dozens of Hamas fighters lined up at a hospital in southern Gaza, one wearing a shoulder patch identifying him as a member of the elite “Shadow Unit” that Hamas sources say was tasked with holding hostages.

One of the Gaza sources, a security official, says that since the ceasefire, Hamas forces have killed 32 members of “a gang affiliated with a family in Gaza City,” while six of its personnel had also been killed.

Later on Monday, a video circulating on social media appears to show several masked gunmen, some of them wearing green headbands resembling ones worn by Hamas, shooting with machine guns at least seven men after forcing them to kneel in the street. Posts identify the video as filmed in Gaza on Monday. Civilian spectators cheer “Allah Akbar,” and call those killed “collaborators.”

Gender Mafia

Well it’s happening folks, the queer, homo, lesbian, trans, furries, and other + individuals have become a left wing Marxist army.  Or at least a terrorist organization.  Many months ago, or was it a couple of years ago, time flies when you are trying to save the country one blog post at a time. I picked what I thought was the perfect name for the crazies who believed in all out immorality.  I named them the Gender Mafia.  Now the name seems to fit.  My reference then was because if you even attempted, which I have in testimony before governmental officials, to stop their radical exhibitionism they would cry, scream and yell at you from the high heavens.  Or should I say the pit of hell. I was called a hateful, arrogant closed minded Christian.  Even though personally I wouldn’t care what they did behind closed doors.  Not my problem, just keep it off the streets and behind a locked door.  Nevertheless they insist on not only flaunting and asking for acceptance but now expecting a celebration of their hedonistic lifestyle. Buckle up!

According to an article in World Net Daily, the FBI is now investigating the pro-gun Armed Queers SLC, a Salt Lake City group whose transgender leader openly supports violence, for possible connections to alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.  Ermya Fanaeian, who worked on Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (Pocahontas) presidential campaign in 2020 responded to a reporter’s question about needing violence to get the attention of people. She responded “I agree. I absolutely agree.”

The New York Post reports: “Armed Queers SLC quietly scrubbed its online presence after Kirk was assassinated, but a law enforcement source told The Post that all open-source information on the group was downloaded and handed over to the FBI.”

“Fanaeian and Armed Queers SLC are on investigators’ radar as the FBI has widened its probe to include a potential extended network that could have aided Robinson in the Sept. 10 sniper attack at Utah Valley University.”

But in 2020, Fanaeian launched the Salt Lake City chapter of Pink Pistols “whose mission is to arm LGBTQ people,” according to KUER Radio which profiled Fanaeian.

On March 18, a man by the name of Paul Hyon Kim set on fire and shot up a total of five Tesla vehicles. He also left a Molotov cocktail inside one of them. 

Court documents concerning the incident said, “Kim has an Instagram page where he follows the Socialist Rifle Association’s page. In a post from October 2018, on the Reno Socialist Rifle Association’s Instagram page, is a picture of a subject that appears to be Paul Kim training with firearms.”

The Socialist Rifle Association was first incorporated as an organization in the state of Kansas back in 2019. It was founded by Alexander Tackett, who identified as a woman and went by the name Alex Norma Tackett. He owned a queer bookstore — yes, they do exist, it seems — that said, “Lilith [it/she] & Alex Tackett [she/it] are a trans lesbian couple living in Wichita with their six-year-old son,” on its website.

Organization co-founder Faye Ecklar stated, “I believe firearms ownership is necessary because, as a transgender socialist, half the country wants me dead, and the other half is happy to watch. 

There are chapters of the SRA springing up all over the country. Members meet in person for events and also communicate via Discord, the same chat application that Robinson used and was potentially radicalized through. SRA’s attempt to become a tax-exempt group was rejected in spring 2023 due to its failure to submit financial returns for three years. 

Just a couple of days ago I learned of another group that is an offshoot of ANTIFA.  It’s called transtifa.  Yes they are affiliated with that terror group.  It seems they are the radical military wing of the trans movement.  Hmm, that makes sense now.  Always wondered why so many self identifying trans people have suddenly turned violent.  Minnesota shooting, Tennessee shooting and the recent Utah assassination of Charley Kirk all done by a trans person or in Kirk’s case a shooter living with a trans individual. The terror attacks seem to be against schools and churches.  They hate the truth.  Violence, murder and fear is meant to silence free speech, something the Trans Mafia hates. 

Just as the real life Mafia, you do what they say and pay homage or you suffer the consequences. 

Editor of State Linked Qatari Newspaper praises Hamas

Hostage Taking

(Update on an article posted 2 days ago.). This is why we must be careful about doing business with Qatar or any other Muslim country. This is why I have been troubled by the cozying up to Qatar by both Trump and special envoy Steve Witkoff.  Not the same values. Rh

“If success is not achieved this time in capturing Zionist soldiers,” Al-Sharq’s Jaber al-Harmi tweeted on Aug. 20, “then the second, third, and fourth attempts” will “add new rats to the tally.”

Aug. 28, 2025 / JNS)

The editor-in-chief of a Qatari daily that maintains close ties to Doha’s ruling family last week hailed attempts by the Hamas terror group to kidnap Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the Gaza Strip.

“If success is not achieved this time in capturing Zionist soldiers,” Al-Sharq‘s Jaber al-Harmi tweeted on Aug. 20, “then the second, third and fourth attempts will succeed, Inshallah, by adding new rats to the tally held by the heroes of [Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam] Brigades.”

Al-Harmi posted just hours after Hamas terrorists attempted to kidnap Israeli soldiers in Gaza, praising the ambush as a “qualitative operation” and lauding the perpetrators as “heroes.”

“Blessed be the hands of the heroes,” he wrote, adding: “And may the hands of the vile criminal outcasts be paralyzed.”

The post was subsequently deleted or removed from the X platform.

Over the course of the 22-month war between Israel and Hamas, al-Harmi has called for “harvesting the heads” of Israelis and praised slain Hamas senior leader Yahya Sinwar.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Tucker Carlson?

By T.R. Clancy

Very long article that is well worth the reading, especially if you think Tucker is a true conservative. I, myself have always doubted his sincerity to the cause. His acceptance of anti-semites is appalling, I do remember Rush Limbaugh not caring one bit about him. May that is why I never trusted him Rh. Enjoy

In the opening sentence of Douglas Murray’s current bestseller, On Democracies and Death CultsMurray writes, “Sometimes a flare goes up and you see exactly where everyone is standing.”

In this case, the flare was the October 7, 2023 pogrom in southern Israel perpetrated by Hamas and hordes of “innocent” Gazan civilians.

And that flare starkly illuminated the unmistakable outline of Tucker Carlson.

On the wrong side of the wire.

For years Carlson offered conservative punditry at outlets like the Weekly Standard, CNN, and MSNBC, until he really took off in 2016 as Fox News’s most popular conservative. In 2019, Michael Anton labeled Carlson “the de facto leader of the conservative movement — assuming any such thing can still be said to exist.”

His nightly monologues fearlessly exposed the debacles of the Russia hoax, COVID, “mostly peaceful” BLM riots, the rigged election, and the Biden administration’s Gestapo tactics towards the J6 protesters.

One could imagine that, once the Left had successfully assassinated Trump, the next worst troublemaker who needed shutting up would be Carlson.

Then the most shocking historical crime of this century happened, and Tucker Carlson had nothing to say. As weeks passed after October 7, his silence implied an unhealthy antipathy towards Israel’s cause.

Then, on November 15, 2023, Carlson interviewed Candace Owens, a frequent guest on Fox News, including Carlson’s former show. At the time of the podcast, Owens was in the middle of a flap with her then co-worker at the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro (an issue of its own that’s not the focus here).

When the conversation turned to Israel, Carlson’s thoughts on October 7 weren’t encouraging.

I’m an American. I was horrified by what happened on Oct. 7. I think it was pretty strange, I don’t understand how it happened, but innocents died and that’s awful. And I hated watching that. And I feel so sorry for the Israelis who were killed. However, there’s an emotional response that is disproportionate, I think, on the part of some commentators. I mean, our country is being invaded right now by millions of young men whose identities we don’t know, who probably don’t even like America, and they’re now living here. Over a 100,000 Americans die every year of fentanyl… These are real tragedies. I’ve never seen anything like the emotion from any commentator around those tragedies as I’m watching about a foreign tragedy. I think that’s odd.

But Tucker was hardly the lone voice passionate about open borders and fentanyl deaths. These were universally decried across the conservative commentariat, without needing to cast supporting Israel’s survival and border security as mutually exclusive.

And unlike other “foreign tragedies” like Ukraine or Syria, Hamas butchered 40 Americans on October 7, and took hostage an indeterminate number of other Americans, including, after murdering its parents, a three-year-old toddler.

In September 2024, Tucker hosted, as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” podcaster Darryl Cooper.   

Tucker was keen on Cooper’s notion that the “chief villain” of World War II was Winston Churchill, who stoked war on behalf of his Jewish financiers. Cooper effectually denied the Holocaust, claiming Nazi plans for Operation Barbarossa inadvertently underestimated how many POWs they’d end up having to feed. That millions of them starved to death was an unintended tragedy.

Then, in December, Tucker hosted a two-hour podcast with Jeffrey Sachs, a Columbia University economist, UN-advising globalist, and close associate of George Soros, (which last bit Tucker failed to mention). Sachs, who has “has repeatedly accused Israel of genocide,” spent two largely uninterrupted hours retailing his theory that the “Israel lobby” hijacked American foreign policy 30 years ago, to implement Benjamin Netanyahu’s sinister “’Greater Israel’ agenda that would rule from the Nile to the Euphrates that Israel opposed Palestinian rule over Judea and Samaria, Gaza, and the Golan.”

Sachs said, “’Netanyahu… has engaged the United States so far in six disastrous wars, and he’s aiming to engage us in yet one more.” Carlson saw no need to follow up after Sachs “accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of creating Hamas and Hezbollah to expand the Jewish state’s borders and achieve ‘greater Israel.’”

Following the podcast, Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs and combating antisemitism, tweeted, “Congratulations to Tucker Carlson for becoming the leading platform for fringe Holocaust deniers, conspiracy theorists, and blood libel enthusiasts who oppose the State of Israel.”

But if there was any doubt that this only means Carlson is consistent about opposing American entanglement in foreign wars, his recent appearance on the popular Megyn Kelly Show podcast leaves no room for doubt.

Powerline’s Scott Johnson posted last week a four-minute clip of Tucker responding to charges of antisemitism. According to Tablet podcaster Michael Doran, Tucker’s response managed to hit every note of classic denials of antisemitism. “It’s beautiful!,” Doran exclaims. “It should be taught in schools. It’s a work of art.” (56:34 in the podcast).

Carlson began by telling Kelly he loves both Jews and Israel, but he’s “been attacked in ways that are so crazy, and it’s totally coordinated from Israel,” by “creepy people taking direct orders from a foreign government.”

It’s so bad he called one of his many friends in the Israeli government (an Elder of Zion, perhaps?), to tell them, “Stop this. I am not your enemy… You don’t think you have enough enemies?”

More than enough. The problem is he keeps saying, and favorably showcasing, people who say all the same things Israel’s worst enemies do.

Like the blood libel that the IDF’s conduct of the war is “disproportionate” (read, genocidal), to the “foreign tragedy” of October 7, to which Israel just had to overreact. As a taxpayer, he’s got a right to complain.

“You have a dispute with your neighbor and you want to get, you know, medieval on them, do it on your own dime…”

Israel wanted this war, you see.

And getting medieval is the IDF’s historically unprecedented efforts to protect — and feed — the Gazan civilians Hamas sacrifices as human shields.

Or Carlson’s inflammatory charge Israel is dragging us into an “unwinnable war” — just like the Jews made Churchill drag us into WWII.

Or how he’s being called antisemitic on the “direct orders” of International Jewish Headquarters.

Carlson’s past “just asking questions” or offering a forum to explore alternative views: he’s handing access to his millions of viewers to characters like Sachs and Cooper, while either leaving their wildest theories unchallenged, or indicating avid agreement.

Then tells Megyn Kelly he really doesn’t want a fight about Israel. “At all.”

As Scott Johnson, notes, if Carlson were an obscure crank, “I would be happy to ignore him. But he is far from nobody in the eyes of the Trump administration and the online right.”

Right now, Carlson’s Live Tour features top MAGA notables like Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, RFK, Jr., and VP Vance.

Trump and his supporters have consistently supported Israel, while the Left has loudly endorsed the worst form of Jew hatred.

But if given the chance, they’ll ruthlessly exploit mixed messages from our side.

That’s why Trump — quietly but firmly – must make Tucker Carlson persona non grata.

Please Mr. President Fire Witkoff

We go from not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon, to now a reliving of past negotiations.  The latest word is that the renewed negotiations with Iran will concentrate on capping enrichment and enforcing stringent verification measures to block Tehran’s path to nuclear weapons, U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff said on Monday.

”The President’s message of peace through strength…resonates throughout the world.  They (Iran) cannot have a bomb.  The conversation with the Iranians will be much about two critical points: enrichment, and ultimately verification on weaponization.”  Witkoff told Fox News.

Limiting enrichment has been tried before, remember the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)?  Who will make sure that a lower enrichment is followed?  Seems like the same old song and dance.  

Mr. President I love ya man, but your choice in friends reminds me of a love sick pre-teen girl.  You just want to love the bad boys.  Fire Witkoff and stand your ground.  No nuclear weapons for the worst supporter of terrorism inthe Middle East.  

It is now….or Iran will have a nuclear bomb.  Is that what you want your administration remembered for??  Rh
