Warren Balogh on Substack: Jewish methods of war

https://substack.com/@warrenbalogh/note/c-170387841

The Trump administration’s “extrajudicial killing” of fisherman in boats off the coast of Venezuela is straight out of the Israeli playbook of assassination by missile strike as standard procedure.

This policy of simply murdering people without any kind of trial is basically gangsterism, and everyone knows it was the Jewish mafia that came up with “Murder, Inc.”

Therefore it should come as no surprise to anyone there has been a recent upsurge in political assassinations (Luigi, Charlie Kirk, the attempts on President Trump). When you normalize murder as a legitimate tool of policy, then other people are going to get the same idea.

Because they are a criminal race, Jews never think about the consequences of their actions. The reason why all settled, civilized peoples developed codes of conduct in war is not because they were soft, overly nice or quaint in their outlook. They did it because any underhanded tactic you use can also be used against you. It’s one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Jewish mindset that they gloat about their own criminal, morally reprehensible atrocities while acting outraged and surprised when the same tactics are turned on them.

This is basically the story of the first half of the 20th century: Jewish terrorists like Trotsky unleashed methods of war and revolution that were hitherto unknown to civilized Europeans, until Europeans adapted and started using some of those same methods back against the Jews. The Commisar Order, for example, was just using Jewish Bolshvik tactics against Jewish Bolsheviks. Hitler famously proclaimed the way to fight them was to use their own law against them: eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

Tucker is now officially an anti-Semite

Welcome to the club.

JTA: Heritage Foundation president stands by Tucker Carlson after host platforms antisemitism

The president of the Heritage Foundation, the leading conservative think tank, defended right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson and said the group would not cut ties with him days after Carlson hosted an interview with antisemitic influencer Nick Fuentes.

Kevin Roberts also said in a video on the social network X that Christians should reject calls not to criticize Israel, which he said were coming from a “venomous coalition” of “bad actors,” and that conservatives should further refrain from “canceling” Fuentes.

“We will always defend truth, we will always defend America and we will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else’s agenda,” Roberts said. “That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains, and, as I have said before, always will be, a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.”

He warned Carlson’s critics: “Their attempt to cancel him will fail.”

Fuentes has mounted an outside bid for influence within the larger right-wing movement, using overt antisemitism as his main flank. His chummy conversation with Carlson, who agreed with the provocateur on many issues including Israel, was seen as a further mainstreaming of antisemitic views within the right.

Roberts, however, saw it as embodying the conservative ideals of free debate.

“I disagree with, and even abhor, things that Nick Fuentes says,” Roberts said, without elaborating. “But canceling him is not the answer, either. When we disagree with a person’s thoughts and opinions, we challenge those ideas in debate. And we have seen success in this approach as we continue to dismantle the vile ideas of the left.”

Framing Carlson’s critics as dissatisfied online, Roberts continued, “The Heritage Foundation didn’t become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians. And we won’t start doing that now. We don’t take direction from comments on X.”

Elsewhere, the Heritage head staked out a position that was critical of Israel, at a time when once-sacrosanct support for the country on the right is diminishing.

“Christians can critique the state of Israel without being antisemitic. And of course, antisemitism should be condemned,” he said. “My loyalty as a Christian and as an American is to Christ first, and America always. When it serves the interests of the United States to cooperate with Israel and other allies, we should do so, with partnerships on security, intelligence and technology. But when it doesn’t, conservatives should feel no obligation to reflexively support any foreign government, no matter how loud the pressure becomes from the globalist class or from their mouthpieces in Washington.”

The term “globalist” has a history of being used as an antisemitic dog whistle.

Roberts’s remarks on only supporting Israel when it suits the United States echoed similar statements made by Vice President JD Vance in Mississippi Wednesday evening — at an event in which Vance, too, was criticized for failing to condemn a question laced with antisemitism. In his video, Roberts also called Vance a friend and positively referenced his comments.

On X, some conservative Jews criticized Roberts.

“There can be no respectful debate with people who have said the things that Fuentes and Tucker have said about Jews,” replied Mike Ginsberg, a Jewish Virginia Republican. “Regarding Jews, neither Tucker nor Fuentes have taken rational political positions one can debate honestly … Choosing to associate with them — consciously, knowing what they have said about Jews — is a choice.”

One person thankful for Roberts’s remarks was Fuentes himself.

“Thank you for your courage in standing up for open discourse and defending Tucker against the Israel First Woke Right,” he wrote to Roberts on X.

 Illegal Immigrants To Be Hit Hard As SNAP and WIC Benefits Expire

Illegal Immigrants To Be Hit Hard As SNAP and WIC Benefits Expire

By Steven A. Camarota on October 30, 2025
Federal funding for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also called food stamps, runs out on Saturday due to the government shutdown. The funding cut-off will hit illegal immigrants hard. The Center’s 2023 analysis of government survey data shows households headed by illegal immigrants make extensive use of the welfare system, particularly food assistance programs.

Among our prior findings:

  • Of households headed by illegal immigrants, CIS estimated that 59 percent use one or more welfare programs — cash, food assistance, Medicaid, or housing.
  • Illegal immigrant households have especially high use of food programs, with 48 percent enrolled in one or more of these programs — SNAP, WIC, or school lunch/breakfast.
  • In particular, our analysis found that 17 percent of illegal immigrant households used SNAP.
  • In addition to food programs, 18 percent of illegal immigrant households were enrolled in one of the cash programs; 4 percent were using a housing program; and 39 percent used Medicaid.
  • Illegal immigrants often receive welfare on behalf of U.S.-born children, and illegal immigrant children can receive school lunch/breakfast and WIC directly. Some states provide Medicaid to illegal immigrants, and a few offer SNAP. Several million illegal immigrants also have been issued Social Security numbers allowing them to receive cash payments from the earned income tax credit if they work.
  • Many immigrants have modest levels of education and low incomes, so suspension of WIC and SNAP will impact a large share of this population. But this situation raises important policy questions, including whether it makes sense to have an immigration system that allows in so many people who turn to taxpayers to support their children.

107 SECONDS TO PARADISE

A Complete Unknown: The Dems’ Dream Candidate

With Zorhan Mamdani sailing toward victory in New York City’s mayoral race, I’m reminded that I still haven’t reviewed Kamala Harris’ book “107 Days” long after the raw excitement of her book tour.

I’ve read the entire book, except for the part after the title. Her thesis is that the only reason she lost to Donald Trump is because of the brevity of her campaign. Yes, if only voters had seen more of her!

In fact, Kamala lost because she’s a callow, arrogant imbecile with zero judgment, Cro-Magnon-like stupidity, entirely unwarranted regal arrogance and a gobsmacking difficulty speaking simple English. Even 107 seconds might have been too much exposure to that.

Mamdani’s runaway popularity disproves her thesis but confirms mine, which is that the less time a Democrat is in the public eye, the better off he is, whereas the more time a Republican is in the public eye, the better off he is.

Andrew Cuomo thought he was nailing Mamdani at the last mayoral debate, when he said, “You wouldn’t even know how to kill a bunch of nursing home residents with COVID!” Wait, no — that’s not what he said. He said:

“You have never had a job. You’ve never accomplished anything. There’s no reason to believe you have any merit or qualification for 8.5 million lives. You don’t know how to run a government, you don’t know how to handle an emergency,” and so on.

Yes, exactly. That’s why the betting markets currently give Mamdani better odds of being the Democrats’ 2028 presidential nominee than Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado or Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, among others.

On the other hand, actually becoming mayor is about to blow any chance Mamdani had of securing the nomination. On the other hand, actually becoming mayor is about to blow any chance Mamdani had of securing the nomination. Ideally, people would vote electronically the moment after Democrats settle on a candidate, before any questions can be asked. (Kamala seems nice.) That’s why liberals keep moving up the date of early voting.

The Democrats’ most popular presidential candidate in recent memory was Barack Obama, who, like Mamdani, was being talked about as presidential material before he’d even won his first major election. He announced his presidential run after less than two years in the U.S. Senate (and was said to be wondering about when he’d win his first Nobel Peace Prize already).

Or consider the two major turning points in the 2024 campaign: the Trump-Biden debate and the Vance-Walz debate. Neither Democrat benefited from the exercise.

Trump is Trump, but for the first time in five years, the public got to see Biden without his teleprompter. Voters watched in horror, almost as speechless as Biden was that night.

The vice presidential debate finally allowed voters to see Sen. J.D. Vance-Gov. Tim Walz outside the carefully curated clips assembled by our propagandistic media.

Thanks to talented TV production teams, the media had nearly succeeded in convincing us that Walz was a he-man, super-cool football coach, while Vance was “weird” — a word applied to him approximately 1 million times before the debate. Then a 90-minute unscripted event exploded all their hard work.

It turned out Walz’s only shot at appearing palatable to a national audience required never allowing people to see him, while Vance’s debate performance marked the most dramatic public perception change since Clark Kent stepped out of a phone booth.

The Democrats’ problem is that their base and the media (also their base) are insane. About a third of their voters are of the “no English” or face-tattoo variety. At some point, nearly every Democrat is forced to do something repellant to normal people to impress their cretinous voters.

The media can hide the really embarrassing stuff, but only for so long. That’s why there are so many surprise revelations about Democrats after they’ve already become the nominee.

Here are a few of those 11th-hour revelations:

As governor of Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis, on his own initiative, gave first-degree murderers weekends off, leading to the release of Willie Horton, who proceeded to break into a Maryland couple’s home, tie up and torture the homeowners for 12 hours, including repeatedly raping the woman. Still, he refused to reconsider the policy.

As governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton was a one-man sexual assault machine, aided by his pimp state troopers. (In those days, “Arkansas state trooper” had the same comical effect that “district court judge” does today.) He may be the only governor ever to contemplate calling out the National Guard just to round him up some chicks.

As a politically minded anti-war activist, Sen. John Kerry lied about his service in Vietnam, lied about American war crimes and lied about throwing away his medals. He even lied about being Irish! Until he ran for president, Kerry was just another Boston Irish politician married to a billionaire ketchup heiress.

By contrast, the media give anal probes to any Republican considering running for dogcatcher. The only alleged scandals that ever emerge during their presidential campaigns are more accurately described as “media dirty tricks.”

Mitt Romney had all but wrapped up the 2012 Republican presidential nomination when The Washington Post ran a 5,000-plus-word story about a “troubling” prank he’d played at age 17 on a prep school classmate. (Speaking of “troubling” pranks, how many women did Bill Clinton rape again?) It seems young Mitt led a group of boys to snip off another kid’s long hair. What made it a fascist white supremacist neo-Nazi attack is that the classmate was … gay!

At least we had a new statute of limitations on bad behavior by a politician: 47 years. Back in Ted Kennedy’s day, a senator could drown a girl, put on a clean suit and run for president 11 years later.

Five days before the 2000 election, a local news station in Maine broke a story about presidential candidate George W. Bush from 1976. Apparently, a quarter-century earlier, he’d been arrested for a misdemeanor DUI in Kennebunkport, Maine. In ecstasy, the media did a forensic analysis on every statement he’d ever made about his drinking. (Their sad conclusion: no lies.)

Four days before the 1992 election, independent counsel Lawrence Walsh indicted former top Reagan official Caspar Weinberger for the all-purpose crime of giving a false statement, implicating President George H.W. Bush in the process. This solved newspaper editors’ problem of what to plaster all over their front pages days before the election. Bush was safely defeated and the indictment was dismissed.

The only truly embarrassing fact to come out at the last minute about a Republican was the Access Hollywood tape sprung on Trump in 2016. Of course, that was about unseemly behavior back when he was a Democrat.

Danish Commercial Warns White Citizens About Breeding With Other Whites

Danish Commercial Warns White Citizens About Breeding With Other Whites

Like it or not, advertising is culture.  Marketing is an expression of a society’s norms, values and demographics.  It is meant to serve the free market by appealing to either a target demographic or the most common demographic as a way to sell products and services.  That said, advertising can also be used as propaganda, designed to sell ideologies rather than soda, cars and insurance.

This has been the primary setting of marketing in the west for at least the past ten years — the vast majority of commercials have political messaging embedded within them.  Though it might not be obvious for the unaware, once you notice the patterns it’s impossible to avoid them.

A new propaganda advertisement paid for by Denmark’s state television and posing as a promotion for a science show called “Evolution.”

The commercial features an “expert” interrupting a white Danish couple as they flirt with each other.  He explains to them that the history of war in Denmark introduced foreign DNA into their gene pool which “protected them from disease”.  He then compares their relationship to inbreeding and suggests they find new partners with more “exotic” genetics.

The woman then smiles as if she’s intrigued by the idea.

The series was originally created in 2020, but is now being re-aired with “inbreeding” ads this year.  Perhaps Danish TV is unaware of the rapid political shift away from woke propaganda from 2020 to 2025?  This messaging is a stark contrast from Denmark’s “Do It For Denmark” ad campaign in 2014, which encouraged Danish couples to get busy and combat the nation’s population decline by making more babies.

Setting aside the lack of historical context and scientific accuracy, the inbreeding commercial plays into an ongoing trend of anti-white sentiment in advertising in Europe over the last decade.  It also is clearly meant to support the government’s pro-mass immigration stance, which has led to Denmark’s foreign numbers doubling to 16.3% of the population in less than ten years (as well as a 30% increase in violent crime over the same time period).

One trend that has been noticed in Europe and the US is the increasing prevalence of minorities in advertising while white people (specifically white men) are greatly diminished.  In the UK, for example, the population is 83% white, but you wouldn’t know by watching their advertisements.  Black citizens in the UK are 4% of the population, yet they make up over 50% of actors featured in commercials as noted in Channel 4’s “mirror” data.

One is hard pressed to find happy white couples in these ads.  Instead, mixed-race couples dominate marketing in the west, despite the fact that they represent only 10% of all marriages in the US and Europe.

Mention this over-representation in the UK in a political setting, however, and you will be attacked as a racist.  The common retort:  “Why do you care?”

But what would the progressive response be if minorities were being systematically removed from advertising below their percentage of the population?  Well, we already know how they would respond.

The Sidney Sweeney jeans/genes ad broadcast this summer for American Eagle triggered a salty firestorm among leftists who accused the company and Sweeney of “Nazi propaganda.”  A beautiful white woman talking about her good genes was treated like the ultimate social crime.  Leftists couldn’t handle just one commercial that stepped outside of their narrative.

This is how much the political left cares about controlling the messaging of advertising.  They care because they believe that marketing is a tool for social engineering.  And, they seem to be particularly interested in getting rid of white couples, not just in media, but in the real world.

Mondoweiss: Trump’s push to uphold Gaza ceasefire is creating a political crisis in Israel

Trump’s push to uphold Gaza ceasefire is creating a political crisis in Israel

Israel isn’t a vassal state of the U.S., JD Vance said. But when it comes to the ceasefire in Gaza and annexing the West Bank, Israeli decision-making is deeply intertwined with Washington’s current priorities.

The succession of U.S. officials arriving in Tel Aviv over the week has fueled consternation in Israeli political circles as Washington ups the pressure on Israel to stick to U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan. Israeli political circles have bristled at having to bend to the American President’s will, as opposition use the opportunity to lambast Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for turning Israel into a “vassal” of the United States.

Virtually all of Trump’s inner circle has made the rounds in Tel Aviv throughout the past week, including U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, Vice President JD Vance, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

They were all there, JD Vance said, to monitor the ceasefire, rushing to add: “But not monitoring in the sense of, you know…you monitor a toddler.” But Israeli media referred to the flurry of visits as American “Bibi-sitting.”

Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz published a caricature on Wednesday portraying Netanyahu as a child playing with toy tanks and airplanes while Witkoff tells him, “Just a little while more, and then off to bed.” Maariv published another cartoon showing Witkoff, Vance, and Kushner closely tailing Netanyahu, who says, “Honestly, I’m just going to the toilet.”

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid didn’t hold back either. At the opening of the Knesset’s winter session, Lapid slammed Netanyahu for getting Israel into “the most dangerous political crisis in its history,” and for sabotaging past ceasefire deals that could have seen the earlier release of the Israeli captives in Gaza. Lapid also said that Netanyahu had turned Israel into “a vassal state that takes orders concerning its own security.”

Things got even tenser during a press conference with Netanyahu when Vance was asked by a reporter whether Israel was becoming a “protectorate” of the U.S.

“We don’t want a vassal state, and that’s not what Israel is,” Vance responded. “We don’t want a client state, and that’s not what Israel is.”

Vance’s insistence on what the U.S. isn’t doing, of course, is the thing that cements it in everyone’s minds.

Netanyahu is still chafing at the prospect of an international coalition of forces that would enter Gaza, and has objected to the participation of Turkish forces in particular. When asked about the matter on Tuesday, Vance said that “nothing will be forced on Israel,” noting that Turkey still has “a constructive role” to play.

The visits by Vance, Witkoff, Kushner, and Rubio came as the fragile ceasefire in Gaza was about to unravel last Sunday, October 19, following an incident in Rafah in which two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion. Israel accused Hamas of breaching the ceasefire and launched a series of strikes across Gaza, killing at least 40 Palestinians. Hamas denied any knowledge of the Rafah incident, with reports that the explosion was caused by an Israeli bulldozer running over an unexploded ordinance, of which the White House was reportedly aware.

Later, Trump told Fox News that both parties were respecting the ceasefire as Israel ceased its bombardment by the end of the day.

Political circles in Israel regarded the halt of Israel’s blitz as a sign that Netanyahu had folded under continuous U.S. pressure to make the ceasefire work. Israel’s hardline National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, regarded the decision as “shameful” and called on Netanyahu to resume its full-scale onslaught against Gaza.

Now there’s another sticking point that is continuing to fuel U.S.-Israeli tensions: annexation.

West Bank annexation is off the table. Or is it?

Continues…

 

Follow-up on Irish election from Jewish Insider

Follow-up to Ganainm’s article: Two feminists fight for the Irish presidency

Ireland is set to elect a new president tomorrow. Like in Israel, the role of president is largely ceremonial, but unlike in Israel, where the Knesset elects the president and the choice is mostly the result of backroom political deals, the Irish president is directly elected by the people.

That means the choice reflects the mood of the Irish public — and after the news coming out of the Emerald Isle over the past two years, it may come as no surprise that the country appears to be on the verge of choosing a candidate with anti-Israel, antisemitic and even anti-Western views.

The current president, Michael D. Higgins, is no friend of Israel or the Jews, having called antisemitism accusations an Israeli “PR exercise.” When the Jewish community asked him not to attend a Holocaust remembrance ceremony out of a concern that he would politicize it, he went anyway and gave a speech comparing Israel’s actions in the war in Gaza to the Holocaust.

The country’s former justice minister, Alan Shatter, told Jewish Insider that the leading candidate for the presidency, Catherine Connolly, “if elected, will present as Michael D. Higgins on steroids.”

Connolly, a legislator representing Galway West since 2016, is a hard-left candidate running as an independent, and led a recent Irish Times poll by 18 points.

The front-runner’s anti-Israel history goes back to before the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza, and includes remarks that crossed the line into antisemitism. In 2021, Connolly wrote in a parliamentary question that Israel is “attempt[ing] to accomplish Jewish supremacy,” using language associated with centuries-old antisemitic conspiracy theories.
