P&D Geopolitical Edition

By Rich Kozlovich

As is well known Hamas launched a surprise attack against an unarmed defenseless civilian population performing vile acts on men, women, and children, even baking a baby alive in an oven and filming it to the great pleasure of Gazans.  They initially attacked wearing some form of uniform, but as soon as they became the targets they dumped those uniforms as they had no desire to have a standup fight with armed and trained military personnel.  Killing defenseless men, women and children is so much easier.   

Now it's a war of attrition, and some are questioning who will survive, Hamas or Israel?  Get real, Hamas is doomed in Gaza, and even the Gazans are marching against them.  Not in favor of Israel mind you, just in favor of their own self interests, they would still dance in the streets if more coffins with dead Israeli hostages were paraded through the streets.   There are no innocents in Gaza, and in spite of Hamas claims 70% of casualties have been women and children, that's another lie, it turns out "72% of casualties are male, a demographic that aligns with Hamas combatants."

 In Turkey President Erdogan arrested his political opponent in the upcoming election and Erdogan's regime has taking on all the ear marks of the Iranian model of government, and an awful lot of people are really unhappy about that, triggering massive demonstrations involving hundreds of thousands of people, as the author goes on to say:

The arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, the leading political rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on corruption charges — after being accused of both corruption and terrorism — marks yet another sign that Turkey is becoming the next Iran: A state where elections are tightly controlled, rigged in advance and reduced to a democratic façade without free and fair campaign conditions.

Turkey’s Islamist ruler has not yet established an official Turkish equivalent of Iran’s Guardian Council — a 12-member body that vets all candidates in elections and disqualifies those who pose a perceived threat to the mullah regime. However, the arrest of İmamoğlu, following the earlier imprisonment of popular Kurdish political leader Selahattin Demirtaş, who has been in jail since 2016, confirms that a de facto Guardian Council is taking shape in Turkey.

Turkey is becoming a state where elections are tightly controlled, rigged in advance, and reduced to a democratic facade without free and fair campaign conditions.

Notice the pattern playing out here worldwide.  Erdogan weaponized the justice system, wants to rewrite their constitution eliminating their legislative structure to install him as the absolute ruler, a "theocratic dictator".

While there may be some validity to charges of corruption against İmamoglu, corruption is so wide spread in Turkey's political sphere that would be expected, but it's only allowed for those who support Erdogan.

Will these demonstrations alter Turkey's political structure?  We'll see, as every tool of oppression is being used against anyone who stands against Erdogan.  But I think it needs to be understood none of this is really about Democracy as we know it.  It's about changing who's in charge for their own benefit.  Corruption in government isn't an anomaly throughout the Middle East and Africa, it's the rule, and it's a rule the group in power wants to exploit to the limits, and even beyond.

Anything said by Erdogan that may sound reasonable and conciliatory, is simply not to be taken seriously.  Remember, Iran is the model for what Erdogan is doing, and just like Khomeini who talked about bringing democracy to Iran and had no desire to become Iran's ruler, it was a deliberate lie.  A lie that was reported by a gullible media, after all they really liked the idea the pro-American government of the Shah of Iran was deposed.

In Turkey Erdogan has manipulated the tax system to punish anyone who disagrees or challenges him and fines any newspaper massively for reporting the facts about his polices, aims, and goals.   The media that remains spews out adoring accolades of Erdogan's greatness, and the tens of millions of children who've gone through their education system have been properly indoctrinated to be pro Erdogan supporters, all of which makes these massive demonstrations even more amazing.

Support for terrorist groups is part of Erdogan's foreign policy, and it's time the west recognized that, but Turkey is a member of NATO and that can't be ignored.  Their support of violent terrorist jihadi groups has to be addressed by declaring Turkey a supporter of terrorists, and such a designation should be the touchstone for all negotiations and dealings with Turkey. 

The Transformation of the FBI

By Rich Kozlovich

Obama said he intended to "fundamentally transform the United States", and he did so cleverly and subtly by implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion cancerous programs into every government agency, academia, and even commerce.  By using our own values against us he was able to spread this national cancer.  

The FBI is totally contaminated with this at the highest levels, how bad it is among the rank and file is debatable . We'll soon see, but as of right now it's obvious from their actions over the New Orleans New Year's Day terror attack claiming it was "not an act of terrorism"....... "we were probably witnessing another example of failed DEI schemes. No more are agents with years of criminal investigative experience running things...." continuing to befoul itself as they cover for terrorists, and Joe Biden.  It's clear cleaning out that Augean stable will be a Herculean task, and now that we absolutely know Islamic terrorism is alive in America, one has to wonder how much responsibility for this falls on the FBI, as it's clear the FBI has an insane terror agenda.  It's also most like we have a sleeping dragon in our midst.

For years the FBI has been focused on "white supremacist terrorism", conservatives, anti-abortionists, traditional Christians, Latin preferring Catholics, traditional Jews, patriotic veterans, and anyone who subscribes to traditional western Judaic/Christian values.  So it's easy to understand why they can't find Muslim terrorists.  You can't catch what you're not looking for.   As the author states:

Large-scale deportations and increased internal surveillance are the order of the day. It is not racism to protect your citizens. Islamic terror has taken many lives, and authorities are fully justified in putting their attention more on Muslims than say Jews, Hindus, and Christians due to Muslims being involved in far more mass-casualty events than the latter. If the officials do not act and get over their fear of looking racist, then a caliphate in Europe is a given, the only thing not known is the specific date of its realization.  And the U.S. can expect more attacks while the feds look for their terrorists in the cornfields and behind the barn.

The New Orleans attack is Muslim terror on a global scale, and the Bourbon Street massacre is what it looks like.  There's a reason this kind of thing never happens in China, as noted:

China doesn’t have DEI stupidity.   Hey, FBI, did you see what those pro-life, Christianity-believing grandmothers just did in New Orleans? .......China rarely has such terrorist attacks..........terrorists know that China won’t tolerate terrorism.......Stick your head up in China and you are liable to get it lopped off.  And the Chinese people know it.

Is totalitarianism the answer? No, the answer was given at the beginning of America's creation.  

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other” (John Adams).

The "maintenance of freedom requires self-control,.... virtuous morality,....  respect the for lives and property of others, and this is going to require a massive culture war staring with public education, from Kindergarten to higher education.   Culture is king, and American needs to make some serious changes, and a really good start would be to put in jail all those on the left who've committed crimes but were protected by a
