Israel’s Elites Revolt Against Democracy

Original Article

Posted By: Christopher L, 8/18/2023 10:24:43 AM

In his New York Times opinion piece titled “The U.S. Reassessment of Netanyahu’s Government Has Begun,” Thomas Friedman wrote that he likes to say of his job that he is “a translator from English to English”: He takes complex things and renders them understandable. … As Friedman explains it, the judicial reform proposed by Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition poses a grave threat to democracy... If you read Hebrew, you can hear some protesters and their backers in the country’s establishments announcing their intentions more or less explicitly: Democracy is the very thing they are out to prevent.

Comments:

Long article which explains the political fight in Israel today. I don't think most Americans know what is happening there. There are many parallels to what the left in Israel is trying to accomplish what the left in America is trying to do here.

This global movement of class elitist power and control, completely denying the human dignity of each and every human being created by God cannot be described in anything but Satanicly inspired. This is no longer my recognition of God denies your ability to worship, this is WE ARE GOD and you serve us. Satanic.

I'd be more interested if Friedman could translate FJB/KJP (or anyone in the Administration) "Gibberish to English".

We all know by now that whatever the left is for bad for freedom.

After reading this article, I begin to understand the motivation behind the anti-Semitic feelings here in America. It is not so much a racial/ethnic thing, but a revulsion for and resistance against the type of self-righteous gasbaggery spouted by the anti-democracy Jews who want to overthrow their democratically elected, representative government and install "the best" people instead. Which is to say, of course, they wish to install themselves in power in perpetuity. For an example of our own variety of these creatures, see Exhibit A, Thomas Friedman.

Retractions of peer-reviewed scientific
papers has risen 13,750% in this century

The present and growing dark age: According to the watchdogs who run the website Retraction Watch, the number of peer-reviewed scientific papers that have been retracted each year has risen from 40 in 2000 to 5,500 in 2022, an astonishing increase of 13,750%. I think the watchdogs are missing the major and much more basic source for this problem. Since the 1990s the academic community has largely abandoned — even condemned — the fundamental concepts of the Enlightenment, which established the scientific method with its unwavering dedication to finding the truth, no matter where it led.

In a supplemental filing, the ADF cited its recent victory in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, where the U.S. Supreme Court held Colorado could not force a Christian web designer “to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees.”

This week, the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) and The Atlantic magazine hosted a “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference, and we have to hand it to IOP Director David Axlerod for bringing in true experts on the subject. The conference featured some of America’s greatest purveyors of disinformation, such as Barack Obama, Brian Stelter, Anne Applebaum, and a few token conservatives, including Jonah Goldberg and Adam Kinzinger. The media, government, and academia elites speaking at the conference weren’t expecting to be challenged as they self-righteously spewed more lies—but our team at the Chicago Thinker was prepared to hold them accountable. CORRECTIONS*

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A judge has tossed the case against one of 18 people cited in Colorado Springs after a Black Lives Matter protest on Interstate 25, calling it a violation of her free-speech rights. El Paso County Court Senior Judge Stephen Sletta on Wednesday dismissed the lone misdemeanor filed against 21-year-old Molly Avion. In a two-page ruling, he found that the state statute used against her — which makes it illegal to obstruct highways — was overly broad in a way that could chill the exercise of the First Amendment and invite “arbitrary” enforcement.CORRECTIONS*

January 6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel has been held in prison without trial now since January 2021. During his two-and-a-half years without trial Ryan has been moved around to 17 different facilities. Ryan has been beaten, abused, tortured, and neglected since his arrest in January 2021. Earlier this week The Gateway Pundit received exclusive photos from Ryan Samsel’s prison cell at the FDC in Philadelphia. The cell was a size of a closet with a light on all of the time. The cell had a thin blue mattress, no sheets or blankets, no clothing, and he was kept here for five months straight.

So, after all of recorded history, it has come to this: an (alleged) astrophysicist claims it is odd that we separate male and female athletes. In a recent (2022) discussion with science writer and podcaster Michael Shermer, Neil deGrasse Tyson said: “It is a little weird that we split people by male and female in this way. I’m imagining a hundred years from now looking back and saying, ‘Do you know back 100 years ago they split boys and girls and they couldn’t compete?’ And … that’d just be kind of a little weird.” Really? At the rate we’re going, in 30 years people may not be able

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.” (Snip) Right now, hedge funds and private billionaires are buying up residential homes and farmland all over the world. At the same time, unrealistic zero-emissions policies are impoverishing Westerners and annihilating the middle class, which is fueling reliance on centralized government.

A victim of the Maui wildfires has tearfully criticized the lack of aid for people affected by wildfires on the Hawaiian island and questioned why President Joe Biden has still not visited. Ella Sable Tacderan is currently sheltering 23 relatives at her home after many were displaced by the fires. She said 'the community has been a big part of my family's survival', referring to the heroic work of locals to support each other in the wake of the devastation. But Tacderan added: 'Without them we wouldn't be where we are right now in regards to sanity, as well as our survival mode...

A leading surgeon at the University of Alabama says that it will be medically possible for transgender women to give birth to their own children through the innovation of womb transplants in the near future. Dr. Paige Porrett, the lead surgeon at the Comprehensive Transplant Institute at UAB, who specializes in womb transplants for women born without uteruses or have had hysterectomies, believes that doctors will be able to offer these same procedures to biological men that have transitioned into women, which would allow them to give birth, according to Daily Mail.

A requirement that voters present a valid photo ID when they show up at the polls is unfortunately working exactly as the Republicans who passed it last year intended. The Lorain County Board of Elections on Wednesday discarded the provisional ballots of 160 voters because 39 didn’t have a photo ID and 121 had expired IDs when they showed up to vote in the special election Aug. 8. “That makes me very uncomfortable,” Democratic board member Anthony Giardini said. “These people weren’t cheating.” (Snip) The board’s other Democratic member, Inez James, called it “voter suppression.”

Al Sharpton, who has a history of stoking racial tensions, accused former President Donald Trump of wanting to use the N-word in a social media post about election rigging in Georgia during the 2020 election. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he would hold a press conference laying out evidence of voter fraud in Georgia and how he has been targeted for fighting against the election "RIGGERS!" Trump has since announced his legal team has advised to put what was going to be said in the press conference into legal court documents and the presser will no longer take place.

Hundreds of New York City residents gathered in Queens on Wednesday to protest the opening of a shelter that is expected to house around 1,000 illegal immigrant men near an elementary school and senior center. The protesters held up signs and chanted “no tent city,” opposing the move by state officials to house illegal immigrants in the new shelter as hotels and homeless shelters in the Big Apple are overrun with thousands of people who illegally entered the country and were bused to New York. The tent city, approved by state leaders, opened Tuesday after being set up in 10 days in the parking lot of a psychiatric facility

A new report from Military.com has revealed that Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma is refusing to reveal the cause of death for 17 base personnel who have passed away this year. How does one base have a death toll of 17 in the span of eight months? Why would the base not want to share information concerning what happened to these individuals and why so many people at one military installation have died? Since the base is funded with American tax dollars and the people dying are public servants, I think the general public has a right to know what is going on at Tinker Air Force Base, don’t you?
