The Morning Report — 9/30/24

Good Morning Kids. So Israel continues a massive and far-reaching counterstroke that for sure is both in part a response to the barbaric Hamas invasion from Gaza almost one year ago, and also as a preemptive strike against Hezbollah that likely was planning some sort of operation against Israel as that anniversary loomed. I'm no expert on Islam, although everything I need t o know about it I learned in Munich '72 and NYC on 9/11/01, as well as Beirut 1983. For those wholly unaware, Hassan Nasrallah who Israel vaporized was responsible for the planning of that attack that wiped out nearly 300 US Marines. Though his body count over the years is considerably higher. But here's what you got from the AP:

The Associated Press previewed the likely death of Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah with a lengthy biographical article that rivaled The Washington Post — which famously referred to Al Qaeda terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar — in its effort to frame the Islamic extremist in a positive light. The original headline was posted on Friday, and it read, “Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.” But Saturday morning, the headline had already been edited to read simply, “Who is longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?”

It should be noted that the "religion" in question seeks to annihilate the State of Israel and every single Jew on the planet, on its way to enslaving everyone else left standing. Something it has been preaching and practicing the world over for about 1,500 years now.

Speaking of an evil force that seeks to cut out the tongues and blot out the eyes of anyone and everyone who stand in their way of creating their own version of paradise on earth. I give you none other than loping, lying heiress-boffer John Kerry:

Viscerally repulsive Deep State goon John Kerry took a break from his main job of promoting Climate Change™ terror porn to tend to another pet project of his and his ilk: decrying the right to free speech at, appropriately — you’ll be shocked to learn — the World Economic Forum.   He goes on to cite this election as a deciding factor in whether the government will ever be able to snuff out free speech in America once and for all.

This proclamation. And that is exactly what it was, not merely a musing or a what-if. As we all know all too well the Leftist/globalists are well on the way to ending freedom of expression here and in what's left of the west via a governmental/corporatist axis of evil that will crush anyone who dares blaspheme their false gods and shibboleths. How positively Islamic, no? And just the other week, Kerry's predecessor emitted this flatus:

It’s 2016 all over again! Eight years later, having learned nothing from the epic public humiliation she suffered when her fact-free Russiagate hoax collapsed into itself with the Mueller Report, Rachel Maddow is still asserting “election interference.” Hillary Clinton is eager to assist her in her Red Scare propaganda efforts.Ironically, Hillary is now demanding criminal prosecutions for her opponents’ alleged propaganda — and not just foreign state actors, but explicitly “Americans,” presumably private citizens who post loosely defined “misinformation” on social media.

Funny how neither Donald Trump, nor a grandmother silently praying in front of an abortion mill are not considered austere religious scholars, but mortal dangers to our precious democracy. Ditto, a parent who refuses to hand over his child to have its genitals sawn off in the name of, what exactly?!

Have a good day.

• The classic leftist view not only makes violence endemic to society; it makes violence acceptable when wielded in pursuit of what the left sees as the inevitable revolution. Marxist rhetoric reflects this acceptance. As Mao Zedong said, “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”  The godfather of the American left’s professional provocateurs, Saul Alinsky, in his 1971 book Rules for Radicals, summarizes Lenin’s approach to violence when the Bolsheviks still lacked the means to carry it out: “They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet.”

• For more than 20 years, Hassan Nasrallah avoided Israel's attempt to kill him. During that time, he rose in stature to become one of the most admired Arabs in the Middle East. He was not a statesman or peacemaker. He was a fanatical Shiite terrorist who felt nothing about killing women, children, and other innocents. His legacy will be more killing. And for that, any civilized person should condemn him.
