Hemingway has the emotional detachment that medical examiners have when conducting an autopsy. His still-born son "looked like a skinned rabbit"; he forced his way into the hospital room where Catherine Barley's body lay but couldn't say goodbye because "it was like saying good-bye to a statue."

Good morning lords and vassals.

AIPAC: Israel First, the Dual Loyalty "Libel" Admitted, Unapologetically

  • Endorsements of 2020 Election Objectors: In the 2022 midterm cycle, AIPAC's political action committee endorsed and funded over 100 Republican members of Congress who voted against the certification of the 2020 election results. [Google search query "aipac gave money to 2020 election deniers"]

The who attempted to thwart American democracy and endorsed for reelection by AIPAC include two active participants, Jim Jordan and Scott Perry.

There are many important issues on which Americans disagree – but Israel should not be one of them. 

...We have friends from from every state and every region. ...We have friends in Congress who are 

skeptical of foreign aid for any nation – except for Israel. We have friends who are pro-choice and pro-life... those who are liberal on immigration and those who want to tighten our borders, and yes, those who disagree strongly on issues surrounding the 2020 presidential election. 

These disagreements are not minor. They are, in many respects, critical to the future of America. But [But you don't care. Your concern is that...] they do not determine the fate of America’s enduring commitment to the State of Israel. 

...

This is no moment for the pro-Israel movement to become selective about its friends. ...

And you have not! And that's admirable of you, a little chin-leading in a bout with George Foreman but you seem confident that you can absorb the sledgehammer blows

The one thing that guarantees Israel’s ability to defend itself is the enduring support of the United States. 

Thank you for confirming Israel's vassal status to the U.S., unapologetically.

 When we launched our political action committee last year, we decided that we would base decisions about political contributions on only one thing: whether a political candidate supports the U.S.-Israel relationship. Not on any other issue – just this one. 

Can't make that much clearer! God, you have cleared away so much antisemitic smoke that I can see so clearly your Israel First dual loyalty

...Israel needs America in its corner, always. ...

Yes, because Izvassal could not survive on its own. She's too weak and too comfortable having Big Bad America fight her fights for her. Wise!

Our job today, as it has always been, is to bring more people to Israel’s side...We can never let the things that divide Americans politically determine whether the United States will support Israel.

Of course you couldn't. Let American Democracy survive or not, but your First country, and its survival with unequivocal American support whether America is Democratic or authoritarian is the KEY!...You sure about that Aipie?

We must be willing to stand with those who stand with Israel. 

Could you at least, as good faith in truth in labeling, call yourselves the Israel American Political Action Committee and register as an agent of a foreign government? No. They actually play a shell game with the names of their PACs to avoid being caught.]

Of course, all members of the pro-Israel community are free to set their own individual political priorities, and support candidates who meet their other political tests. That’s not only acceptable, it’s the nature of a healthy democracy.  

But our organization and our PAC will not make those judgments or do that work. 

Regardless if it weakens and threatens Democracy in America: not our job! 

We will pool our energy, resources and support behind candidates on one single issue, regardless of any other priority.  That’s why we exist, and that’s why we are successful.

Wail, Aipie, that successful biz has hit a bumpy patch, ain't it? 

...

Our job is to make America’s friendship with Israel so robust, so certain, so broadly based, and so dependable that even the deep divisions of American politics never imperil that relationship and the ability of the Jewish state to defend itself.  

How's that going?

]Thank you Ko-Ko for clarifying where the Israeli Jews in America who are members of your anti-American group really stand. How's the future look for Israeli Jews like you in America? You confident, secure, safe? You sure?

A few years ago, a major controversy was stirred when Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, at an appearance in Washington, said “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country” a statement which was taken as evidence of Omar’s supposed antisemitism. Yet AIPAC itself is openly saying that its sole concern is what it sees as best for “the U.S.-Israel relationship”... https://www.972mag.com/aipac-republicans-capitol-riot-israel/

That's all accurate, isn't it Ko-Ko?

...in 2011, the Center for American Progress (CAP), a centrist think tank closely associated with the Democratic Party, was the target of a campaign aimed at its news blog, ThinkProgress. The charge was led by Josh Block, a former AIPAC spokesman, who would later go on to head the right-wing group, The Israel Project.

Further back in 2011, the Center for American Progress (CAP), a centrist think tank closely associated with the Democratic Party, was the target of a campaign aimed at its news blog, ThinkProgress. The charge was led by Josh Block, a former AIPAC spokesman, who would later go on to head the right-wing group, The Israel Project.

In defending his attacks on ThinkProgress, Block wrote to a reporter, “Those who accuse pro-Israel advocates and American Jews of having “dual loyalties” and being “Israel Firsters” are engaged in anti-Semetic (sic) hate speech. Period. These are age-old canards and anti-Semetic (sic) smears that go back centuries, suggesting that Jews are disloyal, alien and cannot be trusted. This kind of rhetoric has no place in civil dialogue and anyone’s politics, but especially among progressives.” In Block’s telling, no substantive proof is required to back allegations of placing Israeli interests ahead of American ones:

Well by jiggered Jo-Blo, Ko-Ko CONFIRMED the "smear" 11 years later!

The tactic was effective. Not long after the campaign against ThinkProgress was launched, most of the targeted writers left CAP. As one of them, Ali Gharib, put it later, “CAP’s positions moving forward from the attacks — including but not limited to virtually banishing criticisms of Israel and Netanyahu from our writings and, in at least one case, needlessly censoring a piece after publication — were guided by how to return to AIPAC’s good graces, often in coordination with AIPAC itself.”

I detect that Israeli American Jews are not reading from the same page of the Torah. I detect their heads are lodged somewhere in their nether regions where the air is spare and malodorous.  But so far since 2024, I want to encourage all the Jo-Blos and Ko-Kos to keep on keeping on. You're learning us goyem and it is very inn-teresting, to quote Bugs Bunny.

Russia Murdered Alexei Navalny with Poison from Dart Frog




LONDON (AP) — Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned by the Kremlin with a rare and lethal toxin found in the skin of poison dart frogs, five European countries said Saturday.

The foreign ministries of the U.K., France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands said analysis in European labs of samples taken from Navalny’s body “conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine.” The neurotoxin secreted by dart frogs in South America is not found naturally in Russia, they said.

A joint statement said: “Russia had the means, motive and opportunity to administer this poison.”

The five countries said they were reporting Russia to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for a breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention. There was no immediate comment from the organization.

And on...

[Trump's racist Obama meme is] something which had, for many years, been confined to the dustbin of history, while still very much a part of the vocabulary of white supremacists.

But something has changed.

Maybe it's social media, maybe it's something else, but something has changed. We are in a new reality where, for more than 12 hours, Trump's White House thought this was OK.


On and on...







Trump: "I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine. Nobody knew that that was at the end."

When asked if he would apologize for an overtly racist video clip of the Obamas posted on President Trump's Truth Social, the president said Friday, "No, I didn't make a mistake."

Trump said he looks at "thousands of things" when he spoke to reporters on Air Force One en route to Palm Beach.

We worked 4 hour straight today, no breaks, on the most miserable subject to me, endocrine. I thought I was rid of that for good but, because of a tutor's advice, we left some questions deliberately undone and had to go back to finish. It had been like six months so, of course, our results suck, but Dr. Ana studied her asphalt off. I about nodded off. Fortunately, Ana was a rigorous scholar today and really learned. I was extremely impressed and told her so. There are no bad days when you learn.

A spy?

Aren't spies supposed to be secretive? This was out in the open, flagrantly, flamboyantly public. Parties! Crime parties! 

What intel did Epstein, rumored Mossad spy, give to Israel? 

Kompromat? Are there recordings of secret trysts? If it was kompromat, what did Epstein get? A jail cell and cremation. If Epstein was a Mossad spy and former Israeli PM Ehud Barak trained him, did Barak go to Epstein's HOUSE in New York 30 times to give spook refresher courses? Aren't they supposed to meet in a safe house and pass messages in pumpkins? Was this a clever Mossad ploy, a Inspector Clouseau-hiding-in-plain-sight house all but illuminated SPY HOUSE! in neon? 

The spy angle does not make any sense to me.
