The chaos that is likely to consume Syria over the coming two months will cause more harm and danger for Turkey and Israel than for Russia and Iran. Yes, the fall of Assad was a diplomatic blow for both Moscow and Tehran, but managing the emerging security risks presented by an HTS-led government? Those hot turds are now the problem of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Israel. Russia and Iran can sit back and watch or, through intelligence assets, help stir the pot.

The 2000s found me operating around the world, dutifully contributing to GWoT. So determined to kill the enemy, I received my first Master’s degree in Islamic studies with an emphasis on Shi’a Islam. I wanted to understand my enemy better so that killing my enemy was easier. Then, as the wars continued on, the mood changed. Eventually, it became obvious to me that Muslims may or may not have perpetrated 9/11, but the real bad guys were in Washington, DC, not Mecca.

Were you thinking of Daniel Penny this weekend? A year and a half ago, the US marine veteran, age 26, subdued one Jordan Neely, 30, a homeless schizophrenic with a record of 42 arrests who was menacing riders on a New York City subway car. Neely was, at the time, a fugitive on an arrest warrant for felony assault on a sixty-seven-year-old woman. Penny applied a choke hold after Neely declared he was of a mind to kill somebody on the train. Neely was still alive when the cops came, but they declined to give him CPR because he was filthy and an apparent drug-user, and they feared getting AIDS or hepatitis from giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. . . so Neely died there in the subway.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg indicted Penny for manslaughter in the second degree and secondarily for criminally negligent homicide.

Everybody knows that the trial is an absurd injustice, but that has been the temper of our society for many years now in the age of the Woke Jacobins. Unlike the original Jacobins of 1794 in Paris, who were ultra-extreme idealists, our Woke Jacobins are extreme cynics, imagining only the worst about the project of civilization. Hence, their alt-project to de-civilize the rest of us.

I think Thomas Jefferson was our greatest President and he has been falsely attacked since he became Adams’ Vice-President. While I admired his achievements and wisdom, I did not like the above quote.

The recent events on this site over questioning the nature of God made me change my mind about this quote. While the “discussion” did not change my personal beliefs, it allowed me to edify them. I now believe Jefferson meant to question the existence of God in order to be closer to Him. While many would disagree, this gives me great comfort.

Most of us already knew…

83 years ago yesterday, America was brought into war with what was described then, and has been described consistently since, as a “sneak attack” by Imperial Japan.

Then-President Franklin Roosevelt gave a speech on December 8th before Congress where he described it as a “Day of Infamy” where America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

What Roosevelt failed to mention is that he knew the attack was going to happen, the government had received copious warnings about what was going to happen, and those warnings were not only ignored but steps were taken to facilitate the Japanese attack.

A series of events and factual matters strongly suggest that Roosevelt not only wanted war, but employed his top officials to help him in that effort.

So I took today off to visit a Christmas market in Helen, GA. While eating lunch at 3:30 PM, I started looking over comments on “Challenging the Theological Foundations of Zionism”. Once again, the readers prove that we have no concept of public virtue, sentience or good manners.

I have disabled the comments on that post but I am absolutely sure that people will once again come together and attack each other. I saw Roth ask for facts for which people were basing their comments. A response from Quartermain concerned the trinity and the Bible’s translation that Elohim is plural in Genesis 1:1. However, here is a Grok explanation:

“Elohim” (אֱלֹהִים) in Hebrew is morphologically plural, but its usage can be either singular or plural depending on the context:

• Singular: When “Elohim” refers to the God of Israel in monotheistic contexts, it is treated grammatically as a singular noun. The verbs and adjectives associated with it are in the singular form. For example, in “Bereshith bara Elohim” (Genesis 1:1), “bara” (created) is in the singular, indicating that “Elohim” here is understood as a singular entity.
• Plural: In some contexts, especially in polytheistic settings or when referring to gods of other nations, “Elohim” can indeed be treated as plural with plural verbs and adjectives.

The dual nature of “Elohim” can be seen as a linguistic phenomenon where a plural form is used to signify something grand or majestic (a concept known as the “plural of majesty” or “plural of excellence”), or it might reflect the complexity of the divine in Jewish theology. However, in the context of Genesis 1:1, it is used in a singular sense, referring to the one God.

I was mentioned three times in a post that I had not even read at that point. Two were from follower about the status of his comments. As I have stated multiple times, the comments are moderated by a plugin. Why his first comment went to moderation is unknown but I approved it when I saw it. Here is the beginning of his comment:

i have answered you and has been removed. will try again.

Follower: you made a false assumption about me publicly. That is why the comment is shown twice. The second time was whether I would allow another comment to be approved (which I did approve).

Need proof? Dont know how long David will put up with this nonsense but here we go!

Michael told me to block his IP address. Scotty said he was done with the site. Personal attacks and poor logic were on full display. I have no doubt that Rabbi Will has a personal agenda to marginalize this site:

It’s not worthwhile here Lon. This is not an intellectual problem

So where does that leave us? The site will continue as intended to provide information that will hopefully educate and make people think. Comments that are not well thought out, deceive or are inciting bad behavior will have consequences.

Where do I stand on the issue of the Bible, the Trinity, holidays and the nature of God? That is not a topic that I will discuss with anyone except in a personal setting. If you wonder why, look at the comments on that post.

We should be looking forward to the future and be optimistic. I too see the opportunity for evil to strike before the inauguration on January 20th. But I no longer will let it rule my life. I do have a Christmas wish and it is actually one that benefits people and our future. Read the following on public virtue which is the foundation of our Republic and its continued success or demise:

“Public virtue” refers to the moral characteristics, values, and behaviors that individuals exhibit for the collective good of society. It encompasses a range of civic behaviors and attitudes that promote the welfare, stability, and prosperity of the community or nation. Here are some key aspects of public virtue:

• Civic Engagement: Active participation in civic duties like voting, volunteering, and community service, demonstrating a commitment to the common good.
• Sacrifice: Willingness to put the needs of the community or nation above personal interests or comfort. This might include serving in public office, military service, or other forms of sacrifice for the greater good.
• Integrity: Acting with honesty and morality in public roles, ensuring transparency and accountability in governance and public affairs.
• Justice: Advocating for and practicing fairness, equality, and justice in societal interactions and laws.
• Responsibility: Taking responsibility for one’s actions and their impact on society, including environmental stewardship, legal obedience, and social contributions.
• Patriotism: A love for one’s country that translates into actions that support and improve the nation, not just in times of peace but also in crisis or conflict.
• Tolerance and Respect: Showing respect for diversity, fostering an inclusive society where different cultures, opinions, and lifestyles coexist peacefully.
• Education and Enlightenment: Valuing education and knowledge, encouraging an informed public that can engage in critical thinking and rational discourse.

Public virtue is often contrasted with private virtue, which might focus more on personal morality or family values. The concept is deeply rooted in the philosophies of republicanism and civic humanism, where the health and success of a society are seen as dependent on the moral fiber of its citizens. It’s an ideal that has been discussed by philosophers like Montesquieu, Rousseau, and in American context, by the Founding Fathers, who saw public virtue as essential for the survival of a republic. However, interpretations of what constitutes “public virtue” can vary widely across different cultures, political systems, and historical periods.

This political order is not just a sick man of Europe, but the veritable sick man of the world, coughing up his infectious spume onto all nearby. This is the cynical twilight of the West, which has chosen terror, oppression, and political manipulation against its own citizens as a way of coping with the slow loss of its imperial entitlements. It’s only inevitable that the rising tide of anti-establishment political parties continues to sweep this canker away. But before this happens for good, Europe will likely see a destabilizing political paralysis for several years, as a kind of final death throes of the globalist holdouts and political hacks like Starmer, Macron, Scholz, and co., whose only jobs will be to delay the fall as long as possible.

If you are a devout Christian, Jew or Muslim, fair warning — you may find this post offensive. I am not trying to offend, but I do plan to present and challenge the theological claims contained in the Book of Genesis aka Bereshit (aka Hebrew for “in the beginning”). The entire claim that Zionists have regarding their right to inhabit all land from the Nile in the west to the Euphrates in the east, stems from promises allegedly made by a person, or persons, claiming to be “God” to a fellow named, Abram. All of this belief is contingent on a separate belief — i.e., that the Pentateuch was written by Moses based on what “God” told him. If you believe that “God” spoke to Moses more than 3,000 years ago and that Moses had ample supplies of paper, ink and a writing instrument to record everything that “God” said, then it is an easy leap to be a Zionist.
