The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

There is a growing body of evidence that UNRWA is hopelessly entangled with the terrorist groups that have been active in the various "Palestinian" refugee camps (hah) and cities, and who most recently perpetrated the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Israel has provided evidence (video and other) that shows UNRWA employees actively participating in the terror attacks of October 7th, and supporting Hamas via shared infrastructure. Of course most people who pay any attention to this sort of thing and who have an ounce of common sense knew that long ago, but the evidence is now so damning that it can't be ignored, even by the western governments that fund UNRWA.

Well...except for the Biden/Obama junta!

Biden Appoints Former Palestinian UNRWA Official as Director of NSC Intelligence

President Joe Biden on Friday appointed Palestinian-American attorney Maher al-Bitar, who served on President Barack Obama’s National Security Council as Director for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs and as deputy to Samantha Power, to be the new director of the NSC intelligence service. Politico, which broke the news, described Al-Bitar’s new job as “the day-to-day connective tissue between the intelligence community and the White House.”
A graduate of Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, al-Bitar received a Master of Science in Forced Migration from Oxford University’s Refugee Studies Center on a Marshall scholarship and has worked with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Jerusalem.

In normal times with normal administrations, this sort of appointment would be toxic...radioactive! It would have been quietly shelved and some milquetoast replacement would have been chosen, instead of a high-profile Arab with links to a thoroughly discredited organization that has acted in support of terrorism.

But this is 2024, and the Biden/Obama administration is completely co-opted by a core of rabid Jew-haters whose most fervent goal is the ascendance of Iran and the destruction of Israel. They simply don't care about the optics, because this appointment galvanizes their support in the pro-terror Arab and Somali communities on which the junta depends for votes. Their vile calculation is that enough Jews will reflexively vote Democrat no matter what, so why not let out their Judenrein sensibilities for all the world to see!

But it also signals a shift in the Deep State^TM. Traditionally, the state department was anti-Semitic, but with this sort of appointment the administration is moving towards a broader pro-Iran and pro-Arab tone, which is indistinguishable from an anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Western one. And that fits perfectly with the goals of the Obama wing of the Democrat party!

And lest you think this is just one of many drones milling about the directionless White House, this is a real job with real power and access to the highest levels of intelligence. Allowing anyone linked with terrorism anywhere near that position is a profound failure in governance and an ongoing danger to America and its allies.

Which sounds just right for the drooling idiot figurehead in the Oval Office.

29 Watch any of the daily updates on the Israeli war on hamas, and note how the spokesman leads with a memorialization of the IDF soldiers KIA the previous day.

Looking straight into the camera, the names are given, a short background item about family members left behind, and a closing. The closing is not a repeat of yesterday's. They are wonderfully written and delivered solemnly.

Contrast this with what we get from Biden and company.

101 evidence, by the way, is beyond Incontrovertible; almost every UNWRA member in Gaza was a Hamas member. 9 of the 12 UNWRA staffers who were officially "fired" for being part of Hamas - the ones the UN had to admit were Hamas members - were actually killed on Oct 7 while they took part in the slaughter of 1200 Israelis.

So since they were already dead, the UN reluctantly terminated their contracts. After 3 months.

124 " the Israeli war on hamas"

Did you use that phrasing ironically or have you unconsciously accepted the MSM's framing?

Hamas *and* Palestinian civilians, including women and children, instigated this on 10/7. The MSM's phrasing cast Israel as the aggressor and excludes civilians.

I chose the phrasing but not carefully enough. When I see those clips of Elon Levy on YouTube, they are typically coming from an online source, FNC for example, which runs the chyron on the screen calling it an "Update on the Israel-hamas war"

Subtle, innit? The propaganda seeps in from everywhere.

Levy always calls it the "October 7 War." And I'll use that title going forward.

147 In a 1787 letter to William Stephens Smith, the son-in-law of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson used the phrase "tree of liberty":

''...what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusetts: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order.''

148 AOC: US aid to UNRWA should resume immediately. Cutting off support to @UNRWA - the primary source of humanitarian aid to 2 million+ Gazans - is unacceptable. Among an organization of 13,000 UN aid workers, risking the starvation of millions over grave allegations of 12 is indefensible.

First, ferret out the rot and corruption within UNRWA, which the UN has known about for years but refuses to clean house, then restore the aid.

Reporting today is 10% of UNRWA are associated w/ Hamas. The 12 were just caught while directly involved in Oct. 7.

The investigation you call for can take a year or more. to withhold aid while the investigation progresses puts hundreds of thousands of people at risk. Both can be done with proper oversight. AOC is right.

HAMAS has an Annual Budget of $2 Billion. Why Don't tehy Feed the Palestinians taht need it because of the WAR that Fucking HAMAS Started.

Billions Netanyahu made sure got to Hamas in order to execute his divide and conquer gambits, allowing him to steal West Bank land via his RW religio-fascist/racist settler base and use of the IDF in the West Bank.

Dolley told me of a new scam she's tracking.

The scammers somehow mask a transaction in the banking site while on the phone with a banking customer so it looks like they've put in too much money for some kind of refund. They beg and plead with the customer to send the money back, convincing them to do it.

However, they're smart about it. It's not a wire or a transfer, which is easily tracked. They're asking the customers to take out the cash themselves and then depositing it in a Bitcoin ATM.

A good way to verify things like this is to go to the site separately and see if they say the same thing. For example, I've gotten emails about issues with my Chase account. I don't have a Chase account... fake. I've gotten emails about paypal, go to paypal and they don't have the same information... fake.

When they say "only twelve" - there is a dedicated contributor on X who has been posting reprints that he got from Gazan UNWRA sources, showing that over 3000 UNWRA employees who were supposedly "teachers" actively supported and helped to carry out Hamas orders and directives.

And it's not just support - UNWRA has been actively smuggling weapons in to Hamas, using it's diplomatic cover to do it. Every UNWRA facility that Israel has taken in Gaza has been packed full of ready to fire rockets.

Depends on whether you believe the GDP report. Last one has about 3.3 growth in 4Q due to a decent Christmas season. But, most of that appears to be an artifact of inflation using the current Govt cockeyed one at nearly 4 percent with the 1990 std being about double at 8 (implying a decrease in real GDP of about 4 percent). The pre 1980 std is still double digits 12-13 percent inflation annualized (implying a major recession of about 8-9 percent decrease in real GDP).

Lotsa food described in it, both the kinds the "industry people" eat, and the kind the rest eat.

There is a mention of tacos al pastor, and I had not heard of this, even after lots of visits to Mexican eateries in and around Chicago.

Think of the vertical grille with the spindle of lamb sausage, the way that Greek gyros is cooked and sliced. Now substitute pork shoulder cuts, dipped into a marinade that has molasses and vinegar as the liquid elements, plus peppers, cinnamon sticks, and more.

A pineapple goes on the top of the pork stack, and when your slicer guy is loading the corn tortilla with the slices he's taking off the roll, he's adding some pineapple.

Yum! But here in SW FL, there ain't no place to get this. Our hispanics are all from Guatemala, and apparently it's not a thing there.

319 9/11

2009,TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party, 912 Project & similar groups became.

Wikipedia, in part, the 912 Project is one of the primary groups "disrupting" (emphasis added) the summer 2009 town hall meetings held by Democrats and moderate Republicans.[5] The group is part of the supposed "grassroots" element of the FreedomWorks astroturf Tax Day Tea Party campaign[6] against various Obama administration initiatives, most notably health care reform. Their methods consist of orchestrated disinformation campaigns and attempts to grab headlines through seemingly spontaneous disruptions of town halls, local government meetings and street corner protests.

Mother Jones, Feb'12 - The Oath Keepers. In part, "...Paranoid right wingers who think Barack Obama is hatching plans to round them up into internment camps are old news." "... the group has established itself as a hub in the sprawling anti-Obama movement that includes Tea Partiers, Birthers, and 912ers." "...There are scores of patriot groups, but what makes Oath Keepers unique is that its core membership consists of men and women in uniform, including soldiers, police, and veterans."

Never to be forgotten or forgiven.

Flashed back to Norembega Park, Newton, MA
Amusement park my grandparents took me to on occasion, closed in the (early?) fifties.
My parents would talk about the Totem Pole Ballroom, and the bands they saw.
