Ronna McDaniel, resign By Terry A. Hurlbut The stewardship of Ronna McDaniel – Ronna Romney McDaniel – over the Republican Party has been a disaster since it began. Since she took over, Republicans have had only one winning election cycle – the Virginia Pre-Midterms of 2021. In every other cycle, Republicans have lost ground, and now she makes the lamest possible excuse. For the good of the Party, the country, and arguably the world, she should resign and retire to private life. The record of Ronna McDaniel Ronna McDaniel became Chairman of the Republican National Committee in 2017. And as Vivek Ramaswamy made clear, on the third Presidential Primary debate that took place directly after the “Abortion Election” of 2023: Since Ronna McDaniel took over as Chairman of the RNC in 2017, we’ve lost 2018, 2020, 2022 – no Red Wave, that never came – we got trounced last night in 2023. And I think we have to have accountability in our Party. Ramaswamy, speaking to McDaniel directly, challenged her to take the stage and resign then and there. He then objected to the choice of moderators for that debate – a choice upon which she surely signed off. “We should have Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk,” he said, instead of the moderators they did have. https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1722421483698311468 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1722288258229404039 In fact, after the poor showing in 2022, McDaniel almost lost her Chairmanship in January of 2023. Harmeet Dhillon came close to unseating her as several large Republican donors moved away from McDaniel. Yet somehow she hung on – and went on to lead the disastrous strategy for the 2023 off-year elections. How disastrous? Republicans lost control of the Virginia House of Delegates. It could have been worse – Republicans almost lost one Delegate seat to a woman who commits virtual prostitution. Also, Republicans missed an opportunity to disqualify a Senate incumbent – Senator Ghazala Hashmi (D-Chesterfield) – by reason of non-residency in the district. https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1723499411941319047 And National couldn’t have figured that out ahead of time? Nor was that the only loss. Republicans, on her watch: • Lost a Supreme Court seat in Pennsylvania, • Saw abortion on demand for any reason or no reason enshrined in Ohio’s constitution, and • Lost a governor’s race in Kentucky that they should have won. So on Friday morning she offered the incredible excuse that she stayed out of the Virginia elections because Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.) asked her to. https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1723004913372815499 On Friday evening (November 10), Ronna McDaniel sat for an interview with Laura Ingraham. By all accounts it was the worst interview she could have given, in which she offered a litany of excuses. https://twitter.com/ACTBrigitte/status/1723139708262236583 She gave another interview to CNN, and offered more excuses – this time blaming the candidates! https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1723734245636538466 “We don’t do the messaging”? Well, maybe she should have. The Democrats certainly “did the messaging” on a national level, or at least four State-wide levels. The message was: we must leave no abortion unperformed. (Actually, The Virginia Mercury reports that a renewable-energy PAC funded Democratic candidates and possibly those abortion ads. They certainly had a motive – but a consistent defense of life could have blunted that attack.) An internal loss Separately, Ronna McDaniel lost a battle against a Christian organization offering an alternative forum to Presidential debates. The Iowa Family Leader will set up an event at which candidates, instead of standing at podiums on a stage, will sit down at a table and talk about their faith. Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) have already agreed to take part. Well, McDaniel and the RNC threatened to exclude the three from the Presidential Debate series if they did. Unimpressed, Bob Vander Plaats, head of the IFL, said he would go ahead with his forum. Yesterday afternoon, Rachel Emmanuel of The Western Journal reported that McDaniel and the RNC withdrew their objections. https://twitter.com/bobvanderplaats/status/1723418781492330932 To their credit, the RNC already had moved to accommodate Vivek Ramaswamy’s objection to their choice of moderators. Therefore, at the Fourth Debate: • Megyn Kelly, Elizabeth Vargus of NewsNation, and Eliana Johnson of The Washington Free Beacon will moderate, and • Rumble.com will have the exclusive for livestreaming of the debate. https://twitter.com/megynkelly/status/1722609568969376041 That strikes CNAV – and probably the brains behind the Liberal Hivemind channel – as too little, too late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1zpJU70dLU Commenters on Liberal Hivemind’s comment space reminded viewers of other parts of the Ronna McDaniel record. She supported Sen. Lisa Murkowski (RINO-Alaska), a member of the Murkowski-Begich Uniparty Dynastic Alliance in Alaska. Beyond that, she simply does not inspire confidence. That’s why she must resign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czOpDN8Knr4 Link to: The article: https://cnav.news/2023/11/12/editorial/talk/ronna-mcdaniel-resign/ Vivek Ramaswamy and Benny Johnson on McDaniel’s record: https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1722421483698311468 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1722288258229404039 Story about a Virginia Senator not living in her district: https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1723499411941319047 Three disastrous interviews: https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1723004913372815499 https://twitter.com/ACTBrigitte/status/1723139708262236583 https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1723734245636538466 Statement by Bob Vander Plaats about Iowa Family Leader forum: https://twitter.com/bobvanderplaats/status/1723418781492330932 Statement by Megyn Kelly on her selection as moderator: https://twitter.com/megynkelly/status/1722609568969376041 Video: Liberal Hivemind says Ronna McDaniel is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1zpJU70dLU Video: Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czOpDN8Knr4 Declarations of Truth X feed: https://twitter.com/DecTruth Declarations of Truth Locals Community: https://declarationsoftruth.locals.com/ Conservative News and Views: https://cnav.news/ The CNAV Store: https://cnav.store/ Clixnet Media https://clixnet.com/

Journalists embedded with the enemy? By Terry A. Hurlbut The past two days have seen some astonishing, and disturbing, allegations about how legacy journalists could get “stories” from the Fourth Arab-Israeli War so quickly – and exactly where they got their information. A shocking answer has emerged – that several journalists had embedded themselves with units of the Gazan “Army.” (Said Army being the Islamic Resistance Movement, or in Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS.) At minimum, these journalists took photographs and videos of the atrocities HAMAS committed that day. And they did nothing to stop them. At maximum – which is to say, worst – their sympathies lay with HAMAS. Thus they took those photographs with even fewer qualms than the drug-crazed HAMAS operatives – or their willing “civilian” executioners – might have had. As such they deserve the same consideration that a crash survivor who consumed his dead fellow travelers might deserve. Current state of the Fourth Arab-Israeli War This morning, Richard Abelson at The Gateway Pundit posted a long essay suggesting that Israel is winning the war. Yesterday morning the Israel Defense Forces captured a major HAMAS stronghold in West Jabaliya, just north of Gaza City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24dyOtseZcQ The IDF has by now surrounded Gaza City and is tightening a ring around the Shifa Hospital, where HAMAS has its headquarters, according to The Times of Israel. Thus far the IDF has taken only thirty-five casualties since their ground offensive began. They claim dozens of enemy kills, and finding a drone manufacturing plant and weapons depot within an apartment building. https://twitter.com/manniefabian/status/1722524391647363107 Genuine civilians are getting out – perhaps because HAMAS has too much to worry about to keep them in. The IDF are willing to let them out, because they’re after enemy armed effectives and war matériel. Elsewhere, Israeli soldiers raised their flag and sang the National Anthem of Israel on a Gaza beach. They’ve also captured Gaza City’s largest mosque – and broadcast the Shma Yisrael prayer over the minaret loudspeakers. https://twitter.com/Ostrov_A/status/1722592689097527307 https://twitter.com/bmarcois/status/1722314023956312300 Abelson also embedded these videos from the IDF and Israel-friendly commentators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM6dbQKwtkI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxOxHb9V2xg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXJExYh_KOc The Gateway Pundit’s Fernando de Castro carried this report that Mossad (“The Institute”), Israel’s CIA equivalent, thwarted a planned Hezbollah (“Party of God”) terrorist operation in Brazil. https://twitter.com/IsraeliPM/status/1722334407653048688 Antisemitism in American universities In contrast to encouraging news about the course of the war, more disturbing news continues to emerge about antisemitism running rampant at American universities. The University of Pennsylvania once again is getting unfavorable press attention in this regard. CNAV has previously reported on the Donors’ Revolt and the dirty secret of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” being anti-Jewish. But Margaret Flavin at The Gateway Pundit reports that hatred of Jews on that campus, persists. Jewish students, faculty and staff are filing civil-rights complaints against the university, according to the New York Post. On Monday several Jewish staff received threatening emails and other messages – a development of which President M. Elizabeth Magill took due note. But Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), perhaps without meaning to, shared the worst spectacle: Arabic students delighting in the atrocities. https://twitter.com/RitchieTorres/status/1721604858795442220 Darrell L. Castle commented on these developments today, as part of his exposé of a general hatred of Jews. Yesterday The Independent American reported that over 200 American universities, including Ivy League institutions, received $13 billion in donations – from foreign governments. These governments include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and China – all unfriendly to Israel. (The United Arab Emirates also made the donor list – but they, so far, are keeping their Abraham Accord with Israel.) In Los Angeles, a first-grade teacher ordered Jewish pupils to identify themselves, then presented a distorted picture of the war. https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/1722641869736165437 Today a report emerged that several apparent Muslims bought 30 propane tanks at once from a Home Depot in Miami. The embedded journalists But the story of journalists embedded with HAMAS in their October 7 raids on Jewish communities is worse. Ella Ford at Finish the Race had one of the first reports, which she based in part on investigations by the pro-Israel group Honest Reporting. https://twitter.com/HonestReporting/status/1722309273940611406 https://twitter.com/HonestReporting/status/1722340917531521369 https://twitter.com/HonestReporting/status/1722374182246179217 Journalists from the Associated Press, CNN, The New York Times, and Reuters traveled with the HAMAS raiders. Some even snapped self-portraits with Yahya Sinwar, the local HAMAS commander in Gaza. More to the point, they took photographs of HAMAS operatives, their captives – and sometimes their victims. At least at the early stages, the four organs published the photos and videos without attribution – to cover up. Attorney Marina Medvin dropped this thread concerning the AP’s involvement: https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722319237719511238 https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722329233383444936 https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722378360968364305 https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722464787102126272 https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722586931618259191 https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722683795076182197 https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1722955006729457851 Israeli officials are demanding explanations from all four legacy media organs. https://twitter.com/gantzbe/status/1722535046400061853 https://twitter.com/IsraeliPM/status/1722548243555316198 The AP denied any foreknowledge of the attack. According to OAN, CNN disavowed any relationship with the journalists who passed photos and video to them. As always, should you or any member of your IM Force be caught or killed, The Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. “The Secretary” from Mission: Impossible Incredibly, The New York Times saw fit to brazen it out. The accusation that anyone at The New York Times had advance knowledge of the Hamas attacks or accompanied Hamas terrorists during the attacks is untrue and outrageous. It is reckless to make such allegations, putting our journalists on the ground in Israel and Gaza at risk. The Times has extensively covered the Oct. 7 attacks and the war with fairness, impartiality, and an abiding understanding of the complexities of the conflict. The advocacy group Honest Reporting has made vague allegations about several freelance photojournalists working in Gaza, including Yousef Masoud. Though Yousef was not working for The Times on the day of the attack, he has since done important work for us. There is no evidence for Honest Reporting’s insinuations. Our review of his work shows that he was doing what photojournalists always do during major news events, documenting the tragedy as it unfolded. We also want to speak in defense of freelance photojournalists working in conflict areas, whose jobs often require them to rush into danger to provide first-hand witness accounts and to document important news. This is the essential role of a free press in wartime. We are gravely concerned that unsupported accusations and threats to freelancers endangers them and undermines work that serves the public interest. All words that ring hollow. Bonchie at RedState reported that the IDF will eliminate anyone who was part of the HAMAS operation. That includes the journalists. https://twitter.com/dannydanon/status/1722613218437480704 If that sounds harsh, consider that the CNN “embed” was holding a grenade at one point. https://twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1722637894592942473 Here’s another post with a photo of that “embed”: https://twitter.com/JewishWarrior13/status/1722354294811218192 Were these journalists, or accomplices? That’s an obvious question, and no one is willing to answer. AP and CNN quietly “disavowed any knowledge of [these journalists’] actions.” But The New York Times brazenly defended the actions of their “source.” One wonders, as well, who launched a Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack against Honest Reporting. Anyone who cares to know, has always known that HAMAS boasted of their atrocities. “Embedding” so-called “free-lancers” with their raiders would be part of that. And what shall one say of the four legacy media organs, who cared more for authentic luridness than for the lives and dignity that were lost that day? This probably goes to the ancient hatred of Jews. Or perhaps one might more properly describe it as an allergy – a hypersensitivity reaction. Evil – and its personifier, the Devil – has always recoiled from anything having to do with God. That includes God’s Chosen People – the Jews. So the institutions that need to examine themselves for antisemitism, include the Columbia University School of Journalism. Maybe that institution, as well as the Wharton School at UPenn, could use a donor’s revolt. While we wait for that to happen, remember that this news is coming from alternative, not legacy, media.

The abortion election By Terry A. Hurlbut The off-year elections of 2023 turned into the abortion election. Democrats flipped the Virginia House of Delegates back – by implying that Republican majorities would ban abortion. (They wouldn’t – but they should.) Pennsylvania’s elected Supreme Court got another Democratic member – to vote for abortion. Ohio voters not only kept the threshold to amend the Constitution at a simple majority of the electorate – an exceedingly foolish threshold – but then approved Measure One, which now says that abortion on demand, for any reason or no reason, up to the moment of birth shall be the law of the land. (And this in a State having the motto, “With God, all things are possible”!) And Kentucky’s Democratic Governor won re-election – in part by implying that his opponent would ban abortion outright. In sum, this became the abortion election. So those of us who care about a republic (not a democracy) must defend the rights of the unborn – up front. Failure to do so, caused this to become the abortion election. How the abortion election came about Obviously the United States Supreme Court laid the groundwork, with its ground-breaking case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. (597 U.S. ____, 2022.) In 2018, Mississippi (which today saw a rare Republican victory) passed the Gestational Age Act. It banned abortion after fifteen weeks, because (as the legislature found) abortion is too gruesome after that. The Jackson (Mississippi) Women’s Health Organization sued the State to block this law. They won in the District Court, and also in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The particular panel they drew, cited the earlier case of Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), as controlling. Naturally the State appealed to the Supreme Court, and sought to distinguish Roe and a companion 1992 case. Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992). The State held that, under the somewhat looser Casey regime, the State had a compelling interest in stopping gruesome procedures that, furthermore, put the mother’s health at greater risk. In response, lawyers for Jackson Women’s held that, if the Court found in favor of Mississippi, they might as well overturn Roe. Furious with the respondents daring to give the Court an ultimatum, the Court found, 6-3, in favor of the State. In so finding, they firmly declared that Roe and Casey were decided in error, and the Court must correct that error. Someone – we still don’t know who – leaked the first-draft opinion in Dobbs to the public, seven weeks before the Court was ready to publish it. Post-election analysis On November 7, several States held off-year elections. The most important of these – those that could have gone either way – took place in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky. Virginia held elections for its Senate and House of Delegates. Pennsylvania held an election to fill a vacancy in its Supreme Court. Ohio had two measures on the ballot: 1. A measure to raise the threshold for amending the Constitution to a super-majority, and 2. Measure One, to codify abortion on demand, up to the moment of birth. Kentucky had a Governor’s race, in the context of its senior United States Senator possibly being too ill to serve. To repeat: Democrats in Virginia recaptured the House of Delegates, which they had lost two years before. They did it by emphasizing abortion, and implying that Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.), if he had total control, would ban the procedure. In fact, Gov. Youngkin is on record as favoring a limit on abortion to fifteen weeks – like Mississippi’s law. Now either the Democrats were lying outright, or – to a Democrat – anything less than abortion on demand, for any reason or no reason, up to the moment of birth, is a ban. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky In Ohio they might have had some justice to that claim. Measure One overrode Ohio’s existing ban on abortion in all cases, even those of rape and incest. Sean Trende (who incidentally was one of two Special Masters to the Supreme Court of Virginia, charged with redrawing legislative and Congressional districts in that State) reports that pro-life forces did not buy advertising on most media. Pro-choice forces campaigned heavily, and portrayed abortion – at any time – as a private matter. One ad featured a father asking, “What if my daughter were raped?” Measure One passed 57 percent to 43 percent. Pennsylvania added a Democrat to its elected Supreme Court, over the same issue. Likewise, Kentucky’s Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear coasted to reelection. Again the issue was: abortion, abortion, abortion. Mississippi was one of the few bright spots. Republican Gov. Tate Reeves won reelection, though the margin was a little too close. Explanations – or excuses – for Republican losses in Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky were as many as those offering them. Democrats sometimes boasted that – who knew! – voters wanted a “return to sanity.” A few Democrats touted their stand on abortion, and trumpeted abortion on demand. The RINO (Republican In Name Only) Establishment blamed Donald Trump. This included Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) and his campaign manager, both of whom called Trump a loser. But Dominick Izzo laid the blame squarely on the abortion issue. Perhaps he missed only one thing: pro-life forces did not defend their position. The abortion election could have gone the other way Sean Trende says it all: he saw no pro-life advertising in Ohio, where he and his family reside. This parallels the criticism CNAV made two months ago of President Trump, for failing to own the abortion issue. Until Republicans take such ownership, every election will be an abortion election, especially State-wide. For a measure like Measure One, that places the unborn child at the total mercy of cold-hearted people interested in leaving no abortion unperformed, to pass – by fourteen points – ought to be final shame to the pride of anyone who dares call himself (or herself) pro-life. And not even to campaign for life is inexcusable. The abortion map doesn’t reflect these results, but one can draw one conclusion at once. Ohio’s “pending restriction” disappears, and in Ohio, abortion is totally legal and protected. A judge had blocked a six-week ban, and now that case is moot – and the State’s twenty-week limit now disappears. Ohio now will have an even worse abortion regime than the country did under Roe and Casey. The Buckeye State also cemented its status as an abortion tourist trap for residents of Indiana and West Virginia. Only because Republicans have veto-proof control of Kentucky’s legislature will Kentucky not follow suit. Pennsylvania and Virginia keep their abortion tourist trap status. How to turn this around Pro-life does not have to be a losing position – but it will not win without a consistent defense. Generations lacking religious instruction – and under an academy that concludes that God does not exist – brought us to this pass. The Grand Evolutionary Paradigm, with its Satanic trident of hyper-uniformitarianism, abiogenesis, and “common descent,” holds life morally indefensible. Whether to hold life cheap or dear becomes a matter of personal preference – and cold calculation. This has made the pro-life side timid – and timidity is a virus that can destroy a political side’s ability to win or even to survive. They propose ambiguous measures that fool no one on the anti-life side – and those measures fail. Meanwhile, the “Squad” Leader says banning abortion makes workers exploitable – conveniently forgetting that allowing it allows employers to refuse family leave and tell workers to “take care of the problem.” The calculus of abortion shouldn’t have to be college level. Abortion values are not sustainable. The endgame for abortion would leave no one to demand it, and a majority to demand its ban. Furthermore, the rogues’ gallery of Ultimate Abortion Providers – Kenneth Edelin, Leroy Carhart, and Kermit Gosnell – remains. True, they’re not in practice. Edelin died ten years ago, and Carhart died last April. Gosnell ls languishing in prison for “going too far” in seven abortions – and causing the death of a mother. But Ohio’s Measure One would allow any of them to act with impunity. A principled defense of life About 300 years before Christ was born, Hippocrates of Cos made his students swear an Oath to respect life, and first of all, to do no harm. Medical schools, after the Flexner Report, preserved the memory of that Oath – until Roe. Then they watered it down, and still have. Christians need to start their own medical schools, and hold Medical Baccalaureates at which students swear a new Oath. CNAV has composed it: the Oath of Saint Luke. Never again may the pro-life side allow an abortion election to take place without a campaign by them. That campaign must address all the “hard cases.” To answer that man posing as a father and asking, “What if my daughter were raped?” It ill befits a father to tell his daughter that the family will “take care of the problem.” That’s to compound the crime of rape with the worse crime of murder. A proper father supports both lives – that of his daughter and that of his grandchild. (And to answer the financial considerations, it befits a government to support the woman involved and to require restitution of the assailant.) Nor do those “hard cases” represent more than a fraction of all abortions. One can understand – while loathing – a man who wants the abortion regime to continue. He has no connection to a developing life. The woman does. And any woman is free to refuse intimate favors. (Furthermore, a woman looking for such favors is looking for love in the wrong place.) The object lesson of the abortion election Two years ago, CNAV observed, when the Dobbs decision came down, that the pro-life side had won its Mount LaDifensa. Now is not the time to show the timidity that Trump allegedly showed after the Great Leak. Several female social-media influencers said then that they would abandon the “hookup culture.” They should do that now, because “hookup” never did the women any favors; all the favors accrue to the men. Furthermore, if women already realize that, half the battle is won! The Supreme Court of South Carolina has already recognized the unborn child as a person having a legal interest. Why hasn’t the pro-life side built upon that ruling? Why especially did they not defend it in Ohio? The pro-life side must defend life in all forums – elections as well as judicial trials and appeals. Whether it takes a generation, or two – the campaign must start now. No one ever won a war without fighting it. And life is the best casus belli of all.

Nashville Covenant School shooter’s manifesto leaked! By Terry A. Hurlbut After seven months, the written “manifesto” of the Nashville Covenant School shooter is now published. Somehow, Steve “Louder With” Crowder got possession of it, and this morning he revealed what he had to his listeners. This does not appear to depict any resentment at the school dating from her own attendance there. Instead it shows racial animus – difficult to explain, because the shooter, and her victims, were all white. It also shows that surgical mutilation and hormonal poisoning do not resolve deep-seated psychological issues. Review of the Nashville Covenant School Incident On March 27, 2023, Audrey Elizabeth Hale, twenty-eight years old who also went by the male name “Aiden,” entered the Nashville Covenant School. She actually shot her way in. Then she started shooting almost at once. She killed three pupils, all age 9, including the daughter of the pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church, the school’s patron. Another of the three died when she tried to summon help by triggering a fire alarm. The shooter also killed three adults – the headmistress, a substitute teacher, and a male janitor. But if that luckless pupil couldn’t summon aid, someone else did. Metropolitan Nashville police responded within ten minutes. Two officers entered the school, made their way with near-military precision along the hallways, and finally heard the sounds of gunfire. They followed the sounds, confronted the shooter, and shot the shooter dead. Audrey Hale had opted for surgical mutilation and hormonal poisoning to “become” and “man.” As a girl, she also attended the school. In the final moments of her (his?) life, Hale sent an Instagram message to a former basketball teammate. In it, Hale announced an intent to commit suicide. But suicide was only part of her plan. The other part was mass murder. Metropolitan Nashville police recovered a manifesto from Hale’s body. But one excuse after another, precluded its public release. Police did say she had been planning the attack “for months.” The Tennessee House briefly expelled two of three members who disrupted their own assembly to call for gun control. The manifesto Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit has the details of what happened to that manifesto. Evidently an unnamed judge has the document now. Lawyers for the Nashville Covenant School filed a “motion of intervention” to stop its release. They said its release would compromise the safety of pupils, faculty and staff. Radio talk show host Michel Patrick Leahy filed his own lawsuit seeking release of the manifesto. Whereupon someone threatened to kill him. (Police arrested the one making the threat.) But streaming show host Steven “Louder With” Crowder had his own undercover team, like those of James O’Keefe’s new Media Group, looking for the manifesto. Today he announced that his “Mug Club” team in Nashville had gotten possession of it – how, he wouldn’t say. https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721519922201649385 He didn’t stop there. https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721536802740117825 https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721555103046357395 Beginning at 10:11 a.m. EST he released this thread: https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721545965402726734 https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721558181489373451 https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721645623051452484 The manifesto, written in the pages of a school-type composition book, reads in part: DEATH DAY. Today is the day. The day has finally come. I can’t believe it’s here. Don’t know how I was able to get this far, but here I am. I’m a little nervous, but excited, too. Been excited for the past 2 weeks. There were several times I could have been caught, especially back in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now. I’m almost an hour and seven minutes away. Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready… I hope my victims aren’t. My only fear is if anything goes wrong. I’ll do my best to prevent [illegible] of the sort. (God let my wrath take over my anxiety.) It might be 10 minutes, tops. It might be 3-7. It’s gonna go quick. I hope I have a high death count. Ready to die, haha. [Signed] Aiden. Another page from February 3, 2023, reads as follows: Kill those kids!!! Those crackers. Going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis and sports backpacks, with their money daddies (sic) Mustangs and convertibles. F*ck you, little sh*ts. I wish to shoot [illegible] [obscene] with your mop yellow hair. Wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little f****ts with your white privileges. F*ck you f****ts. Eventually Crowder reported that Station WZTV (Channel 17, Fox Broadcasting, Nashville) authenticated the images he had and shared online. https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1721645301453271262 Crowder quoted this schedule that police also found on Hale’s body: DEATH DAY 7:00am - Get dressed [COVERED] 7:05am - 8:55am - [COVERED] w/ stuffed animals + possessions 9:00am - Eat breakfast at home [home encircled in heart shape] 9:30am - Pack up special belongings in backpack(s) ---9:50am - test knifecor glass breaker (dads old cars) 10:00am - Leave for Royal Range (19-20 min) 10:20am - Gear up + setup guns in trunk (assemble) + get out rest (w/ mags inside) 11:20am - Final video tape (0 min) (11:30) 11:35am - Leave for Covenant school 12:00pm - Arrive at Covenant (Check parking lot for security) 12:05 - arrive in designated parking space 12:05-12:10 - prepare for attack 12:-- - Lock + load all weapons 12:33 [circled] Open fire towards SW entrance Let massacre begin Time2die [circled] XXX Reaction and analysis Elon Musk, owner of X, gave this man-on-the-street diagnosis: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1721589984317034913 Alex Jones at InfoWars made this statement, which Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit quoted: The power structure and the Justice Department has tried to suppress the Nashville shooter, the trans woman-to-man who went into the little Christian school and shot those little kids and shot those teachers. The manifesto was suppressed when it happened and we now have confirmed from insiders it was the Justice Department suppressing it. So the local government is upset about this, the police department, and from sources inside the system, we’ll leave it at that. They have leaked to Stephen Crowder and his investigative unit. They have leaked to them the first three pages of the document, where she talks about wokeness and hating white privilege and all the rest of it. This is being done to then pressure the government itself to officially of Nashville release the manifesto because it’s reportedly huge, and see how this monster was brainwashed and poisoned by leftist propaganda, reportedly from the sources. She was a total brainwashed leftist on a bunch of psychotropics that love BLM, you name it. Stephen Crowder has the first tranche. We’re told more is going to be coming. When “more” will come, is not clear. InfoWars released its own story, then another story when Nashville authorities started their investigation into the leak. https://twitter.com/WulffJones/status/1721529187624984703 This manifesto cannot possibly put Nashville Christian School pupils, faculty or staff under any greater threat than they already faced. The parts of it that Steve Crowder read out loud do not name any particular teachers or employees. It names the school only briefly, as the immediate target, and says nothing about Audrey Hill’s history at the school. One good reason for her to pick Nashville Covenant School is that, as a former pupil, she knows the floor plan. But it does monumentally embarrass the American political left, and especially the “woke” left. It consists of extreme cultural Marxist talking points. As such it lends credence to CNAV’s earlier theory that it represented an anti-Christian war. Rumors are flying that in fact Audrey Hale had a specific target, and made sure to kill the child of that target. But the manifesto, at least in the part Steve Crowder released, doesn’t say that. Its targets, far from specific, are general. Thus it supports Alex Jones’ thesis: the government (and, CNAV understands, Facebook) suppressed it because it embarrasses its fellow travelers. Did someone else set up the Nashville Covenant School Brandon Tatum, commenting on the manifesto, declared it inauthentic – not that Audrey Hale didn’t have it in her possession, nor even that she didn’t transcribe it – but that she did not compose it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-gMjyvgwGQ This former police officer doubts that anyone would write such a disjointed expository essay as this manifesto proves to be. But that suggests a possibility Tatum does not consider: some person or persons unknown, suborned her to do this deed. And not only suborned, but primed, groomed, trained, armed, and supplied. What happened in the summer of 2021 that, according to the manifesto, exposed Audrey Hale to possible self-incrimination and arrest? Who taught her the shooting sports, and drilled her to such deadly proficiency? Audrey Hale is dead, and cannot tell us. How convenient! Who threatened to kill Michael Patrick Leahy when he sued to seek release of the manifesto? Was it some random observer with an undisciplined mind? Or was it a member of the same cadre that produced Audrey Hale’s shooting coach and mentor? What did the school’s lawyers mean by a threat to pupils, faculty and staff? If the manifesto itself contained no such threat – then did someone else make the threat, to scare them into filing that motion? Someone, some day, will have to answer those questions. And maybe Donald J. Trump knows, in a general sense, who’s been priming and grooming many such shooters. Proved? No. Possible? Yes.

Israel divides conservatives, too By Terry A. Hurlbut Yesterday, CNAV covered the passage of the Israel aid bill by Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), Speaker of the House. In addition, CNAV covered the stark divisions among Democrats – and American Jews – regarding the justice of Israel’s very existence. (For that is definitely at stake here, as more and more commentators are willing to acknowledge.) But, as CNAV said yesterday, the right is also dividing itself on whether or not to support Israel even morally. It has become fashionable, with an increasing number of conservatives, to say that Israel cannot justify its conduct of the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, or even its continued existence. Therefore nothing will serve except full evacuation of Israel and the surrender of its land to the Arabs. This is to say that no one, particularly no conservative, can make that moral case. Who else voted against the Israel aid bill? First, CNAV can now name the two Republicans who voted against Speaker Johnson’s bill. One of them was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). She voted no, not because she doesn’t believe in Israel’s right to exist, but because she considers the U.S.-Mexican border of far greater importance and urgency. Rep. Greene made her statement in a post on X earlier today. https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1720198599923945908 The other was Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). He announced on October 30 that he would vote against any such bill, for one simple reason: the money. https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1719013055952990250 He voted against Speaker Johnson’s earlier resolution expressing support for Israel, for the same reasion: https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1719363258165920102 https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1719428570324332794 For the record, the American-Israel Political Action Committee did accuse Massie of questioning the “dual loyalties” of Americans who support Israel. To be fair, that was a total non sequitur. Rep. Massie never said one word about “dual loyalty,” or about the nominal dual-citizenship status of Jews worldwide. After the Israel aid bill vote, he posted nothing to X. CNAV knows how he voted by consulting the record for House Roll Call 577, from the House Clerk’s office. Each of these Representatives explains his (or her) vote as a decision on competing principles. That’s perfectly understandable. In short, they raise valid arguments, but not necessarily winning arguments. In sharp contrast, Lauren Witzke, whose opinions CNAV otherwise respects, carelessly defends a Biblical doctrine that literally went down with the Titanic. Misinterpretation of evidence Consider this post, embedding a video of an interview with Alan Dershowitz: https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1720404490388406427 Now consider the points in the second paragraph, one by one: 1. “The last election in Gaza was 17 years ago.” And who calls elections? Can any tyrants really keep such a grip on their people without their complicity? CNAV has commented before on HAMAS’ willing executioners. That Gaza “civilians” tolerate this and not demand new elections, is evidence for complicity. 2. “Half the population wasn’t even born yet.” But by all accounts, they still cheer on the organization that governs them, and embrace its ideology. 3. “HAMAS was supported and propped up by the Israeli Government, so that they were able to treat Gaza as a ‘hostile state.’” CNAV will discuss that in further detail below. Witzke herself adduces no evidence, nor has she ever adduced evidence, to suggest that, much less to show it incontrovertibly. But someone else did, in reply to her post. So let’s examine it: https://twitter.com/chijji_bringer/status/1720410075678789995 First, consider the source: Ha’aretz. That’s like quoting The New York Times on conditions inside the former Soviet Union, back when that name applied. Second, consider the principal actor: Ehud Olmert. If his government was allowing hard currency to flow into Gaza, that would be in service of one of two goals: 1. Avoiding any more criticism from the outside world, and 2. Serving a leftist goal, not a rightist one. A confused government policy If allowing money to flow in through currency exchanges was a real issue, why didn’t Israel cut off electricity and water a long time before the present war? In short, those archives prove nothing except the confusion of foreign policy that has plagued the Jewish State since the end of the Third Arab-Israeli War. But what about Netanyahu saying that bolstering HAMAS was part of their strategy? All that post shows is a quote. CNAV has reason to doubt its accuracy – and even if it is accurate, we don’t have the tone of voice. Binyamin Netanyahu could as easily have been speaking in sarcasm – and very likely was. Lauren Witzke, on her profile, still has pinned her post accusing Netanyahu of ordering the Israel Defense Forces to stand down for seven hours. https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1713344613409313003 CNAV has already debunked that claim. But today she serves up this one: https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1720413231397667324 “Just a land grab”? That’s the language of the enemy. But what are those “‘biblical’ excuses” she decries? Maybe a review of the Bible, from Genesis through Revelation. But, though she has offered no scholarship to countervail the plain text of the Bible, others have. Like Greg Reese, who wants Christians to lay claim to the title, not the land, of Israel, through a declaration similar to the Pittsburgh Platform of Reform Judaism. Which reads in relevant part: We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community, and therefore expect neither a return to Palestine, nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concerning the Jewish state. Is God really through with ethnic Israel? That is what Lauren Witzke and Greg Reese, like Harold Camping before them, would have their readers/listeners believe. Nor are they alone, by any means. The essence of covenantal theology is that God transferred the blessings of the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants from ethnic Israel to the Church. Really? A plot of land “from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates”? (Incidentally the “river of Egypt” in view is the Wadi al-Arish, close to and intersecting the Camp David Treaty Line. It is not the Nile.) How could any land avail a Christian, especially a Gentile Christian? Yet God repeatedly promises that, if His Chosen People will repent of their sins, He will restore them to that land. In fact the land area in the photograph Lauren Witzke quotes is very close to the land area over which Kings David and Solomon once held sway. It ill befits a Christian to ignore any part of the Bible, merely because it complicates diplomatic relations. Of course, the prophet Zechariah predicted that the city of Jerusalem would become an immovable object. Anyone who tries to remove it, will fall. (Zechariah 12:3.) Nor can we ignore Genesis 12:3. “I will bless them / Who bless thee, / And anyone who curses thee / I will curse.” It couldn’t be any clearer. What would happen if… But what would happen if the world followed the advice of the covenantal theologians (and “Jewish Voice for Peace”)? What do they advise? Unconditional surrender and full evacuation of the Land of Israel, that’s what. And then what? After the “Palestinian State” finished demolishing every antiquity except Muslim antiquities, and scoured the land of all evidence of any habitation but their own, they would set about plotting the next step in their timetable of world conquest. As Darrell L. Castle pointedly observes, Islam grows, not through gentle persuasion, but through conquest. (Or, as he so eloquently calls it, “violent conversion.”) That’s why a Muslim mob invaded an airport, not in the Holy Land, but in Russia, looking for Jews to kill as they stepped off an airliner. Nor should anyone trust what a Muslim says, about land claims or promises of peace. The doctrine of taquiyya specifically says it is OK to lie, so long as the lie benefits the faith. But today the Muslims don’t feel the need to lie. From the river to the sea, / Palestine shall be free! They mean what they say. And they mean this, too: “First Saturday, then Sunday!” How can covenantal theology be correct? It cannot be. For, contrary to the truth claims of some covenantalists, Revelation does describe, if not paradise on Earth, then certainly true peace – the absence of war. The world has not known that since the Passion and Resurrection. “Peace” is a condition in which no civilian pays attention to military casualties that do not achieve page one, lead story prominence, unless said civilian is a relative of one of the casualties. But … there has [n]ever been a time in history when “peace” meant that there was no fighting going on… Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers (1959) St. John of Jerusalem confidently predicted 1000 years when there would indeed be no fighting going on – anywhere. The angels would imprison the devil for that time – and after that, “loose [him] a little season.” (Revelation 20:3.) When has such a time passed? Never. CNAV repeats: the triumphalism of covenantal theology borders on apostasy, blasphemy and heresy. What’s more, it went down with the Titanic on April 14, 1912. “Not even God can sink this ship!” boasted a dock hand in Liverpool. Oh, really? Christians took note – and abandoned covenantal theology and anything that smacked of triumphalism. Do we need another dose? Let us hope not. Let us hope instead that the last real leader America had – a leader on a par with the mighty Shoftim, from Joshua to Samuel – will return.

Israel and American political battle lines By Terry A. Hurlbut The Fourth Arab-Israeli War has caused many to draw battle lines and decide on their priorities. More than that, people must now reveal certain priorities that some of them would have preferred to keep hidden. Dirty Laundry Day has definitely arrived in America – not only in official Washington but also in the American Jewish community. The Israel bill In the latest event in the Fourth Arab-Israeli War and the reaction to it, the House of Representatives passed an Israel aid bill. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), Speaker of the House, started working on this bill two days ago. It would provide $14.3 billion in aid to the Jewish State – and take that money from the Internal Revenue Service. Specifically it would reduce by $14.3 billion an appropriation to hire 87,000 IRS agents. Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News, in the middle of his vituperation against Johnson’s gamesmanship, provided a link to the bill. The House Budget Committee laid it on the line with this post: https://twitter.com/housebudgetGOP/status/1720101559369888061 Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Minority Leader (who could have been Majority Leader after last Midterms, only he didn’t want to be), complained that this bill would make his job more difficult. Tough luck, Johnson seems to have told him. He stood by his approach: 1. Separate aid to Israel from aid to Ukraine, 2. Pay for the aid to Israel up-front by taking it away from the most hated law-enforcement agency in America, 3. Spare at least some effort to secure the U.S.-Mexican border, and 4. Cut overall spending. Wayne Dupree addressed those issues today in his show. https://rumble.com/embed/v3qjef7/?pub=4teej Revenue shortfall? Excuse us? Casey Harper at The Center Square also addressed the “battle lines” Johnson was clearly drawing. Among other attempts to countervail Johnson’s program, the Congressional Budget Office projected revenue losses of $26.7 billion over ten years because those IRS agents wouldn’t be on duty. One must ask two things: 1. Whom does the CBO think it’s working for? The administration, perhaps? And: 2. Does the CBO think Americans would cheat on their taxes to the tune of $26.7 billion? Or did they just admit that the mission of those IRS agents was to squeeze $26.7 billion out of Americans who didn’t actually owe that much tax? And, of course, President Joe Biden threatens to veto the measure if it gets past House and Senate. Of course, he wants those IRS agents – and to continue to fund Ukraine. Everybody knows that Ukraine is a big money laundry for the Democrats, so this should surprise no one. But maybe Biden extends his fanatical devotion to gun control even to American response to the present conflict. Separately he threatened to halt small-arms deliveries to Israel if that country were to distribute weapons to civilians. The Jewish State’s Ministry of Security has been repenting of its gun-control regime of late – in light of the atrocities that residents of the Negev suffered at enemy hands. Sen. Charles M. Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Majority Leader, vowed not even to bring the measure to a vote if it comes to the Senate. https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1720134873841623374 The bill passes Nevertheless Speaker Johnson brought his measure to a vote today at 4:30 p.m. EDT. About an hour and a quarter before that, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) vowed to vote against it. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1720156959112835194 Less than an hour before, White House officials started working the phones to drum up opposition. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1720162943600406977 Several more Democrats vowed to oppose the bill, including Reps. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1720165790823932056 Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), https://twitter.com/RitchieTorres/status/1720166981452607925 Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.), https://twitter.com/RepWileyNickel/status/1720172046586425734 Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.). But Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) said she would vote yes. https://twitter.com/RepLoisFrankel/status/1720155269743726989 Sherman then reported that Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) were “huddling together,” first by themselves, then with two potential supporters of the bill. They were Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.). Nevertheless, the bill passed, 226-196. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1720196723123876269 Sherman had this list of twelve Democrats who voted with the Republicans to pass the bill. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1720198627753181310 Sherman called the bill “symbolic” and insisted it would never pass the Senate. Jared Moskowitz already had told Jake Sherman he would support the bill, however grudgingly. So his vote should surprise no one. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’ (D-Fla.) support does surprise CNAV, given her vituperative refusal to support any Republican initiative. But again, the Fourth Arab-Israeli War is bringing remarkable clarity to many people’s thinking. After that, Speaker Johnson and several of his colleagues announced the bill’s passage. https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1720199957678842022 https://twitter.com/RepMikeGarcia/status/1720221055896236488 https://twitter.com/RepDrewFerguson/status/1720209265002987882 Israel divides more than Congress The divide among Democrats in Congress actually runs deep, as some Democrats actually sympathize with Israel’s enemies. Many of their pronouncements are absurd. For example: https://twitter.com/DcedawnceU2/status/1719011919984488513 To say nothing of her fellow Squad member, Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who narrowly escaped censure after leading an angry mob into a House office building. President Biden’s support for Israel always has struck CNAV as ambiguous. Lately he has drifted further away. Mike LaChance at The Gateway Pundit reports that Biden actually expresses worry about Islamophobia. So does his Vice-President: https://twitter.com/VP/status/1719833418869981388 Mme. Vice-President, the only way that “Islamophobia,” as you define it, is going away, is through willful forgetfulness of history. And not history only, but the express ultimatum of the enemy that its targets must die. Several X influencers said much the same: https://twitter.com/IMAO_/status/1719846225225072905 https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1719852877848408390 https://twitter.com/HeyTammyBruce/status/1719860524253376818 https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/1719858884389785627 https://twitter.com/MatthewFoldi/status/1719854605784273204 https://twitter.com/sunnyright/status/1719846083172462988 https://twitter.com/Mark_E_Noonan/status/1719853279524630769 https://twitter.com/ChristianCamara/status/1719848756999295294 But an even more stunning display took place at a fundraiser President Biden attended in Minneapolis. Cullen Linebarger, also of The Gateway Pundit, has the details. A female rabbi (no, that is not entirely a contradiction in terms; CNAV will explain below), who affects a shallow beard, heckled the President and shouted for a ceasefire now. This did not go over very well, and the Secret Service removed her. The Daily Mail identifies her as Jessica Rosenberg. Her Alphabet Soup affiliation is irrelevant here. What’s relevant is her membership in an organization calling itself Jewish Voice for Peace. This thirty-five-second video shows what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGgPmAS4tjY JVP posted their own video: https://twitter.com/jvplive/status/1719864496859054392 Who are those people? Jewish Voice for Peace has existed since 1996, and its leaders have never, ever, had any sympathy for Israel. Jessica Rosenberg in particular belongs to the Jewish sect called Reconstruction Judaism. On the left-right spectrum they lie between Reform (the extreme left) and Conservative (a deceptive title). Recall that Reform Judaism had a significant moment with the Pittsburgh Platform of 1885, which read in relevant part: We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community, and therefore expect neither a return to Palestine, nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concerning the Jewish state. In that day, everyone understood “Palestine” to mean what became of the ancient Roman province of Judea. Emperor Hadrian renamed it Palestine when he dispersed the Jews throughout his Empire. The Reconstructionists say that Judaism is “an evolving civilization.” Unlike Reform Judaism, Reconstruction Judaism is strictly an American Jewish movement. This movement has fully embraced Alphabet Soup-ism and leftist politics. JVP takes Reconstructionism further: from their beginnings they have been unalterably opposed to the State of Israel. They consider Israel’s very presence a monumental injustice to Arabs in the region. So they don’t merely call for a ceasefire. They would call for unconditional surrender and evacuation. In fact they take credit for the Boycott, Divestiture and Sanctions movement against Israel. The Anti-defamation League has always been at odds with JVP, calling them a radical anti-Israel movement that comes “close to repeating anti-Semitic slurs.” Biden loses his resolve, focus, or both When “Rabbi” Jessica Rosenberg started her outburst, the crowd around her shouted her down. Presumably the Secret Service removed her. But Biden mumbled something about “a pause” to “get the prisoners out.” Vivek Saxena of BizPac Review collected several posts in reaction to Biden’s latest lapse. https://twitter.com/MarshaBlackburn/status/1719892920482881544 https://twitter.com/LTCNation/status/1719913554415947894 https://twitter.com/ksatwick/status/1719926336595345566 https://twitter.com/40CAQ/status/1719997968059682900 https://twitter.com/radees/status/1720011501648347153 From all this, one can conclude that the Jewish community, in America especially, is as divided as the Democratic Party. More than that, the old hatreds are making themselves obvious, even within that community. Perhaps any community has its malcontent members who reject the very idea of their community, but will not leave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5XfYTgm4x8 In sum, this war has brought out the worst in many people. (CNAV hasn’t forgotten those on the right who seize on weak rationales for excusing atrocity.) Today Speaker Johnson took a giant step toward a necessary American political reckoning. But some debates, like those to which he is not a party, he cannot resolve. The parties must resolve them – and that process will be interesting to watch.

The COVID scare and what it really cost By Terry A. Hurlbut The COVID scare seems to have run its course. Federal health authorities are rolling out yet more new vaccinations against the virus – and people are not taking them. They probably are remembering what they never saw, despite the scare talk: diener squads driving body buses, or some such thing – “meat wagons” – with bullhorns blaring out “Bring out your dead!” But besides that, many are hearing from those who learned – at their own expense – that the so-called preventative was worse than the disease ever was. And that’s even allowing for new allegations that someone is tailoring the virus to attack certain ethnic groups preferentially. Latest on the COVID scare Samantha Craig at The Western Journal has the news. People are not taking the new vaccines that the government approved last September for all patients six weeks or older. According to her, only 7.1 percent of adults and 2.1 percent of children in the United States have taken them. This comes from WebMD and also from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own numbers. As a matter of fact, the CDC has discontinued the government mass-vaccination program. They encourage doctors and druggists to give the shots through their offices and drugstores. Insurance (including Medicare and Medicaid) continues to cover “the jab” at no cost to the patient. Nevertheless, 37.4 percent of adults essentially refuse the shot, and 40 percent of parents refuse the shot for their children. This could explain why Pfizer lost money in their third quarter – especially on their vaccine, and their drug Paxlovid™. ( Paxlovid™ is a combination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir). Vaccine mandates appear to be out of style now. In fact, a New York State superior-court equivalent (mis-called “Supreme Court”) made a judicial finding that the vaccine does nothing to halt the spread of COVID 19. That court ordered New York City to reinstate, with back pay, any city employee who it fired for vaccine noncompliance. People know what that jab really does Recall that Dr. Michael Yeadon specifically charged that COVID vaccines were weapons of mass murder. https://twitter.com/BenSwann_/status/1718721885251182728 Dan Bongino, of Rumble.com, took the vaccine – and regrets it. The vaccine did not stop him from getting the disease. Megyn Kelly fared worse. Not only did she get the disease anyway, but now she suffers from an autoimmune disease. The evidence against the vaccine is as much statistical as anecdotal. Vermont was the most-jabbed State in the union, and still had very high infection rates. https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/1458496290728210432 And as Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. should have known, the surges were seasonal. Respiratory viruses are always seasonal. When people are out in the sun, they make Vitamin D, and when they’re not, they don’t. Vitamin D is protective. It is one of the oldest protective vitamins available. Liberty One News lists eight more protective vitamins and minerals: A, B, C, E, K, calcium, iron, and zinc. (Zinc gluconate and zinc acetate are famous for shortening the course and severity of cold and allergy symptoms, respectively.) Furthermore, almost a third of those taking the COVID vaccines now suffer neurological effects, according to a study from the journal Vaccines, quoted at Epoch Health. This applies to the preparations by AstraZeneca, as well as the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA shots. (An AstraZeneca shot infamously killed BBC Presenter Lisa Shaw.) It also applies more to women than to men. Epoch Health reports other risks, too – increased stroke risk in those taking a COVID and a ‘flu shot, both at once. Deliberate harms But the latest news should infuriate the public more. Jack Davis at The Western Journal reports that an NIH laboratory in Montana was working with coronavirus in 2018. That’s a year before its supposed outbreak. President Trump might want to know why Dr. Fauci never told him. After all, Fauci was in charge of NIAID, the agency that financed the research. This is either carelessness of a phenomenal order – or treason. Davis cites The Daily Mail – and also the National Library of Medicine. That last link is to the results of the investigation. https://twitter.com/SenJoniErnst/status/1719376197749006732 Even more stunningly, the virus samples came from Wuhan. https://twitter.com/PaulMitchell_AB/status/1719612524583395836 The bats came from the Catoctin Zoo, the curator of which was an animal experimenter himself. https://twitter.com/SenJoniErnst/status/1719376198764036186 The Post Millennial has further details on the virus, and the bats. And how did this happen? From Zachary Stieber at The Epoch Times comes a report that Pfizer’s vaccine has not only mRNA, but DNA. That could explain certain signs raising a suspicion that the vaccine subtly alters the genome of the patient who takes it. The DNA sequence is from Simian Virus 40, a virus known to cause cancer. The sequence at issue is the promoter-enhancer, not the direct inducer. Still, this would never have been up to FDA standards before COVID. (Or would it?) The real causes of COVID deaths The “Vigilant Fox” recalls Elon Musk sharing with Joe Rogan his own research – phone calls to several doctors in Wuhan – indicating that intubation and mechanical ventilation is responsible for most COVID deaths. Joseph R. Mercola, D.O., said the same last June. https://twitter.com/mercola/status/1666494508433911816 Steve Kirsch shared some of his research in a thread on X: https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1719388424531308953 https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1719389901161197794 https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1719391776929464507 https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1719415381956419882 https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1719436522951442868 The striking bar graph shows number of deaths from two or more doses, every 28 days. It shows that most of the vaccine deaths happened immediately – but that the deaths rose again beginning in the third period after dipping during the second. More generally his informal study showed the following: 1. 15 percent higher all-cause mortality in those taking the COVID vaccine, 2. A risk of “turbo cancer” multiplied twelve-fold, 3. Odds 2.2 higher of “dying suddenly,” and 4. 3.5 times as many deaths from the vaccine as from the virus. In this article, Kirsch calculates the odds ratio on “dying suddenly” in detail. He also shares that no person, in their incessant criticism of him, will wager that they’re right and he wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqomZQMZQCQ Unlike Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the American people didn’t challenge the government’s authority – until far too late. The genetic weapon angle Last of all is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who once broached a theory of the tailoring of the COVID virus to specific ethnic groups. Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported at the time that one Jon Levine at The New York Post was too hasty to say that Kennedy had charged that the virus was tailored to spare Ashkenazic Jews and ethnic Chinese. This post sequence shows what Kennedy actually said, and how Levine misinterpreted it. https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1680245779565277184 In fact, this virus did not spare the Chinese – not mainland Chinese, anyway. And reports out of Israel indicated that the vaccine decimated that country’s population. As bad as were the atrocities that began the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, this was worse, for the number of deaths. It was a burning of incense on the bamah, or “high place,” of technology. It was also treason. Yesterday the Chinese Ministry of State Security specifically charged that the Chinese were targets of a genetically tailored coronavirus. Jim Hoft, writing about this latest charge, sourced it to the South China Morning Post. The point here is that someone – with American funding – was playing dangerous genocidal games. What shall the people do about it? Two days ago, Dr. Scott W. Atlas, who had shared a stage with Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx during the Trump administration, shared seven steps to restore trust in organized medicine. Briefly those steps are: 1. Strictly define a “public health emergency” and set limits on such declaration. CNAV believes this rates a Constitutional Amendment, to put it on par with the definition of treason in Article III. 2. Fire all current heads of the CDC, the NIH, and the Food and Drug Administration. Then apply six-year term limits to those headships, moving forward. 3. Forbid employees of these agencies to share any patent or other royalties. Furthermore, forbid private employment in the field for five years after retirement from government service. 4. Require full transparency of all discussions, including posting to public forums. 5. State that none of these agencies may mandate anything. Dr. Atlas said to state by executive order. In this he is incorrect – one must state it by law. 6. Decentralize current NIH funding, which today funds almost entirely the careers of academic doctors and other scientists. And: 7. Withdraw from the World Health Organization, or at least repudiate their authority to set rules for the American people. That means repudiating the WHO Pandemic Accord. CNAV would add an eighth step: arrest those agency heads, especially Dr. Fauci, and try them for treason and mass murder. And a ninth step: promote a new – or rather, old – kind of decentralized medicine.

Jordan, Comer back in action By Terry A. Hurlbut Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and James Comer (R-Ky.) are back in action, hunting the hunters, as it were. This time they are investigating the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, after he opened an investigation into Leonard Leo, current co-chairman of the board of the Federalist Society. Leonard Leo helped Donald J. Trump appoint an originalist and two moderate conservatives to the United States Supreme Court. So one can readily see why a Democratic public prosecutor would love to have Leonard Leo in the dock. What is less clear, is what took Congressmen Jordan and Comer to long to intervene in an obviously political investigation. Who is Leonard Leo? Leonard Leo is co-chairman, along with founder Steve Calabresi, of The Federalist Society. They began as a group of highly educated lawyers specializing in the United States Constitution and other founding documents. The Society began advising conservative Presidents to be more careful in their nominations to the federal bench than, say, Dwight D. Eisenhower or Richard M. Nixon had been. Eisenhower especially came from the school that nominated men to the Supreme Court as a reward for good political service. They would nominate such men, furthermore, without regard to their likelihood of interpreting the law in any given way. Then Eisenhower nominated Earl H. Warren – an appointment he regarded as the greatest mistake of his Presidency. Among other bad decisions, that gave us Engel v. Vitale. Richard M. Nixon appointed four Supreme Court Justices. Three of them (Blackmun, Burger, and Powell) made part of the Roe v. Wade majority. Burger and Blackmun also made part of the majority in Lemon v. Kurtzman. Powell split the difference in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. Correcting those judicial errors would take forty-nine years. That’s why the Federalist Society began to advise Ronald Reagan to pay attention to judicial temperament and fidelity to the Constitution when nominating federal judges. Every Republican President since Reagan has taken their advice. Donald Trump especially took it in the grand manner. Leonard Leo drew up the short list from which Trump appointed Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. They helped correct the above errors. Revenge Naturally, “progressives” have sought revenge against Leo and the Federalist Society. On March 1 of this year, Politico.com alleged that Leonard Leo and his friends were suddenly living a little higher on the hog. They based that on a time-honored allegation: “dark money.” Then in April, the Campaign For Accountability (CFA) filed this complaint with the Internal Revenue Service, concerning seven non-profit organizations Leo controls. They charged that Leo diverted funds from these entities to serve himself personally. No doubt they based their complaint on the Politico report. Somehow this complaint landed on the desk of Brian Schwalb, Attorney General for the District of Columbia. On August 22, Politico.com reported that Schwalb had “taken the case.” The outlet also reported that some or all those seven non-profits have re-registered in the State of Texas. Not only would this take them out of Schwalb’s jurisdiction, but Texas is also far more business-friendly than is the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Virginia – especially Northern Virginia. Schwalb’s office, reached for comment, “neither confirmed nor denied” whether the investigation was on. Jordan and Comer step in This afternoon, Stephen Neukam of The Messenger reported that Reps. Jordan and Comer now were investigating Schwalb. The two Representatives are Chairmen of the Judiciary and Oversight Committees, respectively. The House Judiciary Republican Office released a three-page letter both Chairmen sent to Schwalb. https://twitter.com/stephen_neukam/status/1719045031078551703 https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1719052032617722026 https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1719051675548144011 The photograph in Neukam and Jordan’s posts is of the Federalist Society’s headquarters, after CFA projected a clever image onto it. It looks very much like a message crawler reading BREAKING: DC ATTORNEY GENERAL INVESTIGATING LEONARD LEO. Above this one can see an image of Leo’s face, with red shadow and white highlights. The photograph comes from Paul Morigi of Getty Images and is part of the Messenger article. The letter asserts a lack of personal jurisdiction over the seven non-profits – because they were never based in the District. They were based in Northern Virginia – as the Politico pieces also make clear. Jordan and Comer also charge that Schwalb’s investigation invades “donor privacy and free association.” But they reserve their most scathing indictment for a review of the crime statistics in the D.C. area. Instead of using your office’s substantial resources to address these problems, however, your office has reportedly decided to dedicate those resources to a politically motivated probe that “creates an unnecessary risk of chilling free speech.” Jordan and Comer end by “asking” that Schwalb provide, no later than 5:00 p.m. November 13, documents relating to: 1. Schwalb’s investigation of the seven Leonard Leo controlled non-profits, and 2. Communications between Schwalb’s office and “third-party groups,” including CFA. What took Jordan and Comer so long to act? So why are Chairmen Jordan and Comer acting now, rather than in August and September shortly after the story broke? The investigations they’ve been running since Republicans flipped the House are still going on. This includes the Hunter Biden Laptop story, but also includes “weaponization” of government. Brian Schwalb would appear to be a player in such weaponization – a minor player, but still a player. CNAV believes that any delay in August, and through September, might be due to machinations by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy has shown himself to be opposed to everything Donald Trump stood for. So perhaps he wanted Leonard Leo to suffer. Now, however, the House has a new Speaker. True, Mike Johnson hasn’t said a word about Jordan and Comer’s latest investigation today. He’s busy doing something else, i.e., introducing a bill to provide $14.5 billion for Israel – and taking that $14.5 billion away from the IRS. In that regard, he said this: https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1719058197686763974 Still, Johnson already has a reputation for upsetting apple carts. Giving those two Chairmen greater freedom to investigate those who threaten freedom of speech might be part of this. Put them on notice In any case, that particular investigation is long overdue. It illustrates a central problem with leftist prosecuting attorneys. They’d rather prosecute “enemies of the people” in the Marxist sense, than the real enemies of the people: violent criminals. By investigating Schwalb, Jordan and Comer put many other Attorneys General and District Attorneys on notice. Abuse prosecutorial discretion, particularly at the expense of public safety, and an investigation will follow. Certain other prosecutors – who know who they are – would do well to take heed.

DEI has always been antisemitic at the core By Terry A. Hurlbut The Fourth Arab-Israeli War has divided the two grand coalitions, left and right. Each coalition has split for reasons different from those of the other. But until today, the abandonment of Jewish leftists by their Gentile counterparts remained a baffling – and painful – mystery. In point of fact, that war has revealed a level of condescension toward Jews within the leftist coalition. That level has always existed, and now no one wants to hide it any longer. They did hide it – in programs promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Now comes fresh evidence that DEI was always subject to a “Gentleperson's Agreement.” And now that agreement is open, therefore no longer “gentle.” Senator Sanders sees the masks come off The phrase Gentleperson’s Agreement derives from the motion picture Gentleman’s Agreement, dir. Elia Kazan, with Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire, and John Garfield; 20th Century-Fox, 1947. That film focused on antisemitism in the world of mahogany-paneled offices and conference rooms, and social clubs. But it applies with greater force today on university campuses, especially with active DEI programs. Kevin Haggerty revealed this dirty little secret of the left today in BizPac Review. His story begins yesterday afternoon, when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) chose to remember an ugly mass murder that happened five years ago. On October 27, 2018, Robert Bowers walked into the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There he murdered eleven congregants – merely because they were Jewish. At his arrest, he told police he had deliberately sought to kill Jews, saying, “All Jews must die.” A jury convicted him of the crimes last summer – a long wait. Then in August another jury recommended the death penalty. So on the anniversary of the murders, Sen. Sanders saw fit to remember the dead. https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1717990676871172412 Incredibly, he drew some of the ugliest, most negative reaction one ever gets on X. https://twitter.com/freckle_red/status/1718199683590627442 https://twitter.com/NazzyN21/status/1718155061405327470 https://twitter.com/SpiritofHo/status/1718150837199913375 https://twitter.com/DrOsamaSiddique/status/1717997214721540341 https://twitter.com/CampariMD/status/1718001489904546273 https://twitter.com/DerArschloch/status/1717997907406680331 The Senator’s detractors evidently hadn’t heard about his speech on the Senate floor slightly more than twenty-four hours earlier: https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1717619671405375978 But the negative reaction drew some outrage of its own: https://twitter.com/AGHamilton29/status/1718035784723231149 https://twitter.com/RachelMiniK/status/1718038120221098011 https://twitter.com/ThyGeekdomCome/status/1718024247610585393 https://twitter.com/guruandsensei/status/1718027748961292592 https://twitter.com/AlexanderPayton/status/1718050453026390358 https://twitter.com/ejbowlin/status/1718180110681924011 DEI has a hidden exception But this should have surprised no one. Ten days ago, Tabia Lee, former DEI Director at De Anza College, shared her bitter – and enlightening – experience. In an op-ed at The New York Post she explained that DEI always had a secret exception, i.e., Jews. “[T]oxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people,” she said. A provocative statement? Most certainly – but she has evidence to back it up. This illustrates, of course, that the left has two kinds of people in it. Shut-eyes actually believe in the stated ideals of the programs they espouse – while opens do not. The opens are the parties to the “Gentleperson's Agreement,” the secret designations of groups that are “more equal than other groups,” or, as in the case of the Jews, less equal. Tabia Lee is not Jewish herself, but she supported Jews in their efforts to make their learning environment less hostile. And how did her co-workers treat her? As if she were a traitor to her race – or to the broad category of “non-white oppressed people.” Recall that, according to Critical Theory, racist ≡ white. (The symbol ≡ reads “is identical to.”) Surprise! Jewish ≡ white according to “the DEI industry.” Lessons from history Nor does the existence of Reform and other Jewish movements that do not sympathize with Jewish homeland sentiment, matter. Zionist ≡ Jewish. And of course, the United Nations, in 1975, equated Zionism with racism. Then, a feisty Irishman named Daniel Patrick Moynihan gave his famous retort: The United States rises to declare before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and before the world, that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act. Amb. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, November 10, 1975 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Hlg1-blE4 Perhaps Mr. Moynihan was atoning for the abandonment of the Jews by his Party’s hero, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Fast-forward to today, when all too many colleges pass Boycott, Divestiture and Sanction resolutions against Israel. When De Anza College’s student body passed the first such BDS resolution, naturally Jewish students felt shamed – or slandered. Dr. Lee tried to set that right – and came in for criticism for violating the “Gentleperson’s Agreement.” She ended in losing her job – and since then, other students, teachers, and administrators have told her this kind of thing goes on all over the country. What she is now doing, also should surprise no one: she repudiates DEI. She add the word toxic to it, and by that she means to abolish this “Gentleperson’s Agreement.” If this does not happen, she warns, hatred toward Jews will only get worse. DEI and what it tried to hide Note that Lee wrote of her experiences of two years ago, long before anyone thought that war would break out with such an incredible series of atrocities as the anti-Jewish side in that war began with. The problem, she says, is that those who have stoked the flames, don’t know what to say. So they say nothing – and that hurts worse. (But not all are content to say nothing! Several have openly justified those atrocious acts.) From the river to the sea, / Palestine shall be free! Common chant Four years ago, CNAV contributor Joan Swirsky asked point-blank whether her fellow Jews had a death wish. Why, she asked, did Jews continue to support liberal causes, the promoters of which hate the Jews almost as bad as, say, Haman the Agagite did? (See Esther.) The answer is that they really believed that their very faith prescribed leftist politics. But that doesn’t matter to Gentile leftists, and never has. The right must look to itself, too Which brings us to the division on the right regarding whether Israel is in the right, or the wrong. Even before the War broke out, at least two prominent commentators on the right asked: To know who really rules the world, ask whom you are not allowed to criticize. By whom they meant the Jews, of course. They even went so far as to identify Barack Obama as Jewish. (Actually he’s more Arabic than anything else.) If half their suspicions were correct, Tabia Lee would never have seen the ugliness she witnessed and tried to combat. Now that the war has broken out, CNAV sees nominal conservatives taking the side of atrocious actors. Sadly, this, too, is nothing new; recall what Patrick J. Buchanan once said: There are only two groups that are beating the drums … for war in the Middle East—the Israeli Defense Ministry and its amen corner in the United States. Would Patrick J. Buchanan say a thing like that today? Back then, the only question leading to war in the Middle East was Iraq’s invasion and occupation of Kuwait. Tales of atrocities emerged from that theater, too, and even today no one knows whether they were true or false. But no one can deny the atrocities of the present war. Those who committed them, boasted of them, even filmed them. (Their being high on a speed-like drug is certainly a prime cause of that.) Yet one hears paraphrases of Buchanan’s charge today – and more troubling still, is what else the paraphrasers are saying. Chief among them: the Jews rejected Christ, so Christ rejects them, and so should His followers. Conclusion That’s a very dangerous thing to say. Anyone who doubts that, should consider what happened to Harold Camping, twelve years ago. And of all the grounds God might have had for “delivering the Israelites into the hand of [fill-in-the-blank]),” a proper response in punishment of atrocity has never been one of them. Indeed, failure to act when such action was appropriate, set the Israelites up for near annihilation centuries later! (Again, see Esther.) In this sense the throat one hears clearing itself after an unjust criticism of the Jews is not human. It is Divine. But more to the point, the “immunity from criticism” those on the right thought the Jews enjoyed, is an illusion. It always has been an illusion, and the DEI industry maintained it. But as one X user said, the masks have come off, for all to see.

Electric vehicles fail without heavy subsidies By Terry A. Hurlbut Are electric vehicles worth the hype? Or do they merely shift a (legitimately measurable) pollution burden and represent another do-good mirage of public policy? Do they solve a real environmental problem – and if so, do they create others? In sum, does a concerted program to electrify the developed world’s vehicle fleet have a moral justification? For the first time, people are starting to crunch the numbers, and the numbers are telling a sobering story. Tax- and ratepayers need to know what they’re paying, what they are paying for, and whether it’s worth it. Electric vehicles do not provide a free benefit On October 28, 2023, The Western Journal revealed an economic study damning to battery-powered electric vehicles. The problem is: at current demand, they cost far more to make and own than most people see. That includes their owners and everyone who is even thinking of buying one. The Texas Public Policy Foundation makes their study available here. Their study charges that electric vehicles (EVs) benefit from $22 billion in direct and indirect subsidies to EV makers. Without them, says the Foundation, the total cost of ownership of an EV would be equivalent to owning a conventional vehicle and paying $17.33 per gallon to fuel it for the same distance driven. The TPPF study counts as direct subsidies such things as: 1. Tax credits from federal and State taxing authorities, available to EV buyers up-front, 2. Direct tax subsidies for charging infrastructure, and 3. Marginal electricity generating, transmission and distribution costs. Electric utility ratepayers pay these costs – whether they own an EV or not. Then they measure indirect subsidies in the form of regulatory credits. In point of fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency invented cap-and-trade systems long before the phrase became popular. NHTSA calls their system the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standard (CAFE). EPA calls theirs the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Multiplier Credit system. Cap-and-trade systems – a history Any cap-and-trade system imposes a cap on something a regulator, or a legislature, arbitrarily defines as a pollutant. In the EPA’s case, the “pollutant” is carbon dioxide, which they define as a “greenhouse gas.” Alternatively, a cap-and-trade system might ration the consumption of a scarce resource – at the manufacturer’s end, not the end-user’s end. Direct rationing of gasoline and other motor fuels began in consequence of the Third Arab-Israeli War. That War ended in the failure of the Arab world to erase Israel from the map. Furthermore, the United States furnished munitions and other consumables to the Israel Defense Forces, without which they would have lost. So the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which once had the word Arabian in its name, punished the United States, and indeed all the Western world, with an embargo on their oil. The Western world, especially the United States, reacted in panic. President Richard M. Nixon, who was never a real advocate of capitalism, directly rationed motor fuel. He also removed the last objection to the Trans-Alaskan Oil Pipeline, but the rationing hurt the economy. The Democrats took over, and they, who loved the idea of rations, kept the regime going. Ronald Reagan removed all rations – and price controls. The market responded with more exploration, and a much more workable solution. But that does not satisfy the Democratic Party today. Add to it the false alarm that the globe is warming, the globe is warming! Present day The CAFE standards, according to the TPPF, impose the greater cost – a cost on automobile manufacturers, which their buyers pay. That cost works out to $19,678 per EV. GHG Multiplier Credits impose their own costs, though somewhat less: $3,322 per EV. That’s $23,000 that an EV owner doesn’t have to spend, because conventional vehicle owners are paying it. California and certain other States have their own cap-and-trade schemes; the TPPF estimates this works out to $4881 per EV. Sales of electric vehicles earn CAFE credits and GHG credits, and sales of conventional vehicles impose debits. The government tells manufacturers to maintain a positive credit balance, or face fines. But the government cleverly lets manufacturers buy the credits from other manufacturers that have a very high credit balance. Tesla, according to the TPPF, has made out like a bandit – to the tune of $8 billion thus far. The marginal electricity costs assume no attempt by the owner of any EV to derive electricity from sun or wind. In short, they assume that electric vehicles get their energy ultimately from a fossil-fuel-burning power plant. Naturally those plants must work harder, and the grid must distribute that power from plant to charging station. Utility ratepayers pay that cost, whether they own electric vehicles or not. In that way they pick up $10,515 per EV. Finally, governments offer direct tax credits for EV purchases – typically $8984 per EV today. Then add $1,318 per EV for charging infrastructure the government buys. Cost of “fueling” The true cost of charging, as opposed to buying gasoline for a conventional vehicle, is difficult to measure. It depends on comparative prices for electricity and motor fuel – and the motor fuel tax system. Several States are facing loss of revenue – because those who charge their cars at home, aren’t paying fuel taxes. Add to it that battery-powered electric vehicles are heavier and cause more wear and tear on the roads they travel. So in essence, electric vehicles get two subsidies: 1. Fuel taxes the EV owner/driver does not pay, and 2. Extra road maintenance costs the EV driver incurs but the conventional vehicle driver does not incur. The TPPF might not measure that second subsidy, but they definitely measure the first. To be fair, they acknowledge that some States want to change the entire model for financing road maintenance. They either want to toll all roads, or charge per mile driven (but how’re they going to measure that?). Or they charge extra fees at annual or bi- or quadrennial registration time. Two problems, say the TPPF. First, not all States are thinking along these lines. (As one can readily understand, that’s not popular.) Second, when they do think about it, they might not be charging enough. Result: EV owners skate on this – another subsidy. TPPF estimates that drivers of electric vehicles would have to pay $17.33 per gallon-equivalent to keep their vehicles charged, if they had to shoulder the full costs they impose on the system. What problems are electric vehicles supposed to avoid? So we know that the government has embarked on a special project to electrify the small-vehicle fleet. (And possibly the large-vehicle fleet; witness the development of the Tesla Semi. But thus far, no one has thought to build battery-powered electric heavy equipment – bulldozers, backhoes, dump trucks, etc.) What does the government hope to gain? Possibly the government hopes to gain one thing only: control of the populace. Electric vehicles notoriously have low range. Furthermore, Agenda 21/2030 explicitly calls for housing people in pack’em, stack’em dingbat dorms – with no parking, but instead offering an electric shuttle to the local train station. (Even today we hear of plans to convert vacant office buildings to apartments – or mixed-use towers. Shades of Duncan Enterprises’ Glass Tower in The Towering Inferno from 1974!) But, to be charitable, let us look at the excuses the government uses for this vast project. Air pollution? Electric vehicles might make for cleaner tunnel passage – but they shift the burden to the poor neighborhoods near power plants. Greenhouse gases? News flash! That excuse is already wearing thin, and more and more leftist heads-of-state know it. The latest: Canada’s Justin Trudeau. (Or should we say Justin Castro?) Resource scarcity? The government created that problem, and pResident Biden’s handlers made it worse beginning January 20, 2021. That is the very definition of racketeering: create a problem, then off your “services” to “solve” it. How else can we solve the problem? Battery powered electric vehicles might have a place, if the market supported a radical alternative for electricity generation. That would be to collect energy from the sun, using vast solar batteries in geostationary Earth orbit, and beam the energy down to earth. Other than that, if the storage of electricity – by the end-user or by electricity storage operators – became popular, that might make the grid more reliable. But conventional vehicles are already available that can solve many of the problems the government uses to excuse its programs. Diesel engines, for example, do not produce any pollutant that appropriate plants can’t clear. Most notably, they do not produce carbon monoxide. Suicide/homicide using a Diesel engine in a locked garage is impossible. Aside from that, many modern automobiles actually stop their engines when their drivers stop temporarily to comply with traffic signals. They then restart automatically when the driver is ready to move. That could recover a great deal of wasted fuel – something any driver can appreciate. Furthermore, no one is subsidizing hybrid vehicles as much as they might have. A hybrid vehicle uses a much smaller battery, good for short commutes, errands, and stop-and-go traffic. A regular engine recharges it at need, especially on a long trip. The best vehicle of all would be a Diesel hybrid. Not only would the Diesel engine’s emissions be far more manageable, but such an engine could use as fuel many things others throw away. Example: used cooking oil. Implications for policy – and politics President Trump, who bids fair to return to the White House no matter what corrupt judges throw at him, can make this a campaign issue. He can and should eliminate those direct subsidies, and abolish the CAFE and GHG multiplier credit systems. The marginal electricity costs might remain; the debate on how to manage the extra marginal cost of new development will have to wait for another time. Beyond that, the market would find a solution to any real problems, as it did in Reagan’s day. Perhaps an unfettered market would move everyone, first to auto stop/start cars, then to hybrids. Diesel hybrids would be a special boon to the trucking and railroad industries. The small-vehicle industry experimented with Diesel engines once before; it can do so again. More broadly: the global-warming excuse has already run its course. Air pollution from transportation is already less of a problem than it once was. So the government has no more excuse to electrify the vehicle fleet by 2030, 2040, or any such date.

Israel v. Ukraine – who’s right? By Terry A. Hurlbut Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), now Speaker of the House, wasted no time in signaling a sea change in that body. As his literal first order of business, he teed up a resolution to support the State of Israel. That measure had been pending since the Fourth Arab-Israeli War began. (It passed 412-10, with 7 members voting “Present” and four absences.) Yesterday, in an interview with Sean Hannity, he spoke of separating the questions of aid to Israel and Ukraine. The White House has asked for $100 billion in aid to both countries – and Johnson is demanding an accounting, as he believes the American people have. CNAV fully agrees: the government should give an accounting – and not merely of the budgets for these two countries. In point of fact, one of these countries has a good casus belli, and the other hasn’t. Ukraine does not have a good case for war Too many Americans – and other ordinary Western citizens – assume that Ukraine has casus belli because the Russian Federation invaded it. It has become fashionable with too many people to assume that invasion never has a good cause. National boundaries are sacrosanct, this theory states, and are adjustable only by peaceable negotiations and treaties. Alger Hiss, who “built” the United Nations, introduced that theory. In point of fact, he introduced it under false pretenses. The mission of the United Nations is to unite the world into one government. Under it, all boundaries would be fluid and totally unsecured – therefore, meaningless. The particular case of Ukraine introduces a complication that only serious students of the history of Russia would catch. Ukraine has been a part of Russia for centuries. After the Khazars disappeared from history, the beginnings of a State emerged in the region. Its name: Kievan Rus’. From it came Vladimir the Great, who introduced Christianity to the Slavic peoples. More to the point, Russians have a good, traceable claim to ancestry from this region. Catherine the Great absorbed most of what was called “The Ukraine,” and it was all a part of Russia at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution. Nikita S. Khrushchev cynically declared it an “independent” state, but only so he could send an ambassador in its name to Alger Hiss’ UN. Khrushchev still called it “Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic,” and no one thought to call Ukraine a separate country in fact. After the Soviet Union Of course, in 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed. Western diplomats moved in and carved up the former country along the borders of its former “Socialist Soviet Republics.” That’s how long Ukraine has been a separate country in fact. (The old Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic is all that’s left of the U.S.S.R. and persists as the Russian Federation.) As was the case after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, those who drew “national boundaries” in the region, did so arbitrarily and capriciously. This left ethnic Russian communities out of Russian control and beyond Russian protection. At first that didn’t matter – but it has mattered a great deal since the Maidan Revolution of 2014. Ethnic Ukrainians have never treated ethnic Russians as anything other than second-class citizens. Vladimir V. Putin, who currently runs the Russian Federation, knows this – and feels this. Those ethnic Russians – in Crimea and throughout the Donbass – have applied to him for protection. He has granted it. Perhaps he does wish to become a “Tsar of All the Russias” without the hereditary trappings of the Imperial Crown. But he does not actually desire to control people who do not want his protection. Nevertheless, a certain intellectual, commenting on the attacks on Israel that occasioned its present war, said something more profound than he himself realized: Virtually all land is “stolen land” if one rolls the tape back far enough. And again: those who carved up the Soviet Union had no more thought about the history of the region, than had the British when they carved up the Ottoman Empire. Other causes of war between Russia and Ukraine Aside from questions of maltreatment of those who share his ethnicity, Putin has a great many other causes of war. Our own government turns out to have repossessed Soviet-era biological weapons development laboratories in Ukraine. Those laboratories today have American funding, American direction, and American staffs. Furthermore, the United States Embassy in Ukraine admits as much. In fact, the first revelations came on the very day of the Russian “Special Military Operation.” In his interview with Sean Hannity, Speaker Johnson, all too quickly, repeated the old line about Putin “not stopping” with the Donbass, or even all of Ukraine. CNAV begs him to reconsider. If he wants an accounting, he should investigate these bioweapons laboratories. Perhaps Speaker Johnson should investigate something else: whether Ukraine was a child sex-trafficking hub. Two and a half weeks after Sound of Freedom premiered, a thread dropped on X confirming what CNAV had already heard from confidential sources. Those sources spoke of a raid on Chernobyl, the infamous “reactor town,” and the liberation there of hundreds of children, or thousands. The thread, released in March, spoke of a notoriety that Ukraine-based child trafficking rings had, apart from the Chernobyl story. All these reasons make Ukraine not a fit recipient of American largesse. Furthermore, if Putin succeeds in “de-Nazifying” Ukraine and cleaning out those operations, he’ll have done the world a great favor. Israel does have a good cause for war In sharp contrast, the State of Israel does have a good cause for war. If all Israel had were the latest attack on it, that would be cause enough. No one dares forgive atrocity – and judgment of atrocity is anyone’s responsibility, who can intervene, or aid its victims. (Nor would intervention in this case be necessary, apart from interdicting attempts to aid the atrocious actors.) Apologists for the Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS) at first tried to deny the accounts of their atrocious acts. Then one apparent apologist tried to suggest that Binyamin Netanyahu stood down his forces, hoping these bad things would happen. Far more likely, according to a contributor familiar with Israeli politics, is that elements of the Israeli intelligence community, sympathetic to the political left, let these attacks happen in order to discredit Netanyahu and force a crisis of confidence, with new elections. Everyone knows that the last Knesset elections saw a swing toward civilizational politics. The left sought to thwart this. Instead, Israel has a wartime National Unity Government with a former IDF Chief of Staff in it. Beyond that, evidence for the atrocities is overwhelming. HAMAS elements turned out to be high on an amphetamine-like stimulant. Worse yet, they have made atrocity part of their tactical command doctrine. Read for yourselves: You must sharpen the blades of your swords and be pure in your intentions before Allah. Know that the enemy is a disease that has no cure, except beheading and removing the hearts and livers. Attack them! “Removing the hearts and livers” might not be in the Qu’ran. But “fight[ing] and slay[ing] the infidels wheresoever ye find them” is. Israel has history on its side Beyond the immediate cause, Israel, not Gaza, has history on its side. Anyone who doubts that should consider that Israel preserves antiquities, whereas Muslims destroy them. That applies not only to Gaza but also to the regime in control of key cities in Judea and Samaria. (The United Nations is pleased to call these regions “The West Bank.”) The Bible tells us that the Jews, or their ancestors, or a contingent of them, have lived in the Land for 3500 years. Archaeological evidence attests to the reign of King David (including coins of his realm), the Jericho action, and much else. Sadly, this war has divided the right as well as the left. Not everyone on the left can defend atrocity, and some of them know it. But many on the right suggest mediation of the conflict – and sometimes they suggest mediators who would scarcely be impartial. (The Turks? YGTBK.) Others, relying on covenantal theology and preteristic interpretation of the Revelation to St. John of Jerusalem, insist that “God is through with national Israel,” and therefore any Christian should be, too. CNAV reminds them that: 1. The last person to say, “God is through with national Israel,” came a cropper predicting the end of the world. He then suffered a stroke and died, and his radio-network enterprise died with him. 2. Such triumphalism went down with the Titanic. And finally, 3. The cavalier dismissal of national Israel is an appalling failure of charity – which Paul of Tarsus held a cardinal virtue. Conclusion Speaker Johnson is correct to ask for an accounting, but he needs to broaden the scope of that accounting. The broad sweep of history, and the recent actions of the combatants involved, show that Israel has a good cause, whereas Ukraine does not. CNAV hopes that the new Speaker can come to understand that. One who, in his Constitutional law practice, defended the Ark Encounter park, likely can understand thousands of years of history. He should apply that discussion to the present debate, when judging which country at war to support.

How Mike Johnson became Speaker By Terry A. Hurlbut Many are calling the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as Speaker of the House of Representatives, a miracle. Others are calling it a nightmare, and will continue calling it a nightmare. These others fall into two categories. One expects no better of the socialist, anti-procreative, “woke” left. But the other side are the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and “the appropriators.” These are the sort of legislator who gets rich from the public weal. Until now, “appropriators” of both parties have fooled their constituents with ideological lip service. They’re not fooling anyone any more, it seems – and now the Republican “appropriators” suffered their greatest setback. It began with a Continuing Resolution It all began with a Continuing Resolution, which passed on September 30 – the end of the Fiscal Year. (Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., made a big show of delaying the proceedings with his fire-alarm stunt. The Justice Department, no doubt knowing that he did it for show, have charged him with a misdemeanor.) Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Speaker of the House, was the architect of that Continuing Resolution. This made Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) furious – because McCarthy had promised he would do no such thing. That is why Gaetz and his allies ultimately let McCarthy become Speaker, by voting “Present” instead of for another name. Gaetz had already threatened McCarthy with a Motion to Vacate the Chair if he broke any more of his promises. Now, Gaetz had to do it – and he did. The next day, Gaetz, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), six other Republicans – and 208 Democrats – voted “Aye” on the motion. McCarthy made a concession speech that sounded gentlemanly – but would turn out to be insincere. https://twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarthy/status/1709349632315199968 Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), Speaker pro tempore, recessed the House with a violent gavel stroke that almost chipped the dais. And for three weeks, McHenry would be a temporary presiding officer with no power other than to preside over the election of another Speaker. A series of failures Speculation – all vain – centered on a bid to make Donald J. Trump Speaker of the House. That would vest him with subpoena power, so he could strike back at his prosecutorial persecutors. But no one but a member of the House has ever become Speaker of the House. Many experts make a good argument that the Speaker must be a Member. But Trump was one of three men who emerged as viable candidates for the job. The other two were Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Steve Scalise (R-La.), the Majority Leader. Trump endorsed Jordan – but Steve Scalise became first to win nomination. But within two days, he bowed out of the race. He knew he would not have the votes to prevail on the House floor. After that, the House Republican Conference nominated Jordan. But then they held a test vote to see how many would commit to supporting Jordan on the House floor. Only 155 Members so voted. After that, a plot by RINOs to sabotage Jordan’s candidacy became apparent. What was not apparent was who was doing it, and exactly why. Despite picking up some surprise endorsements, Jordan lost on the House floor. After first one, then a second, roll-call vote, Steve Bannon (Bannon’s War Room) charged that K Street lobbyists were actively working against Jordan. He based his charge on intelligence from his own operatives who overheard conversations in one of Washington’s favorite “power restaurants.” Jordan lost the third round, and the Conference withdrew its nomination. First Tom Emmer – and then Mike Johnson Over the next few days, another round of declarations took place. On Tuesday (October 24), Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Majority Whip, won the nomination. And that, from the point of view of K Street and the “appropriators,” is when things started to go wrong. Donald Trump angrily posted to Truth Social to tell the Conferees not to support Tom Emmer on the floor. That might, or might not, have been the catalyst. Even before Trump made that post, twenty-six Republicans already had lined up to oppose Emmer. https://twitter.com/TheCalvinCooli1/status/1716878615919669714 Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) put in her two cents seventeen minutes after that: https://twitter.com/realannapaulina/status/1716883229322719673 Then the first “buzz” started about Mike Johnson winning the nomination. Mike Johnson had in fact come in second to Tom Emmer after five ballots by noon that day. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716887973554499939 This much Jake Sherman, who had to stay outside the meeting room, knew. At 4:00 p.m. EDT, the Conference met again, in the Longworth House Office Building. Twenty-two minutes into the meeting, Emmer stormed out, without saying a word. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716913278356774924 So once again the Conference took declarations of candidacy. At 8:00 p.m. EDT they started to vote again. After three ballots, Mike Johnson won the nomination. But 43 Republicans cast write-in votes on that third ballot, after 34 had voted against him in the second. Nevertheless, he had a majority – but would the support stick with him? It did. Incredibly Mike Johnson won the floor vote, with the entire Conference, except one absent member, voting for him. How Mike Johnson did it After the vote, Nancy Mace shared this post on X, congratulating Mike Johnson on his election. She also shared credit with Gaetz and the other six “Aye” votes on the Motion to Vacate, for this outcome. https://twitter.com/RepNancyMace/status/1717238665305301319 Rep. Gaetz told Steve Bannon how that marathon nomination session had gone, on the morning before the floor vote. Today, Nancy Mace revealed more. The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft published two articles quoting these interviews, one for Gaetz, the other for Mace. Their Rumble channel also carried excerpts from those interviews: https://rumble.com/embed/v3p08ky/?pub=4teej https://rumble.com/embed/v3p8gfs/?pub=4teej Matt Gaetz revealed first what some had suspected. The K Street lobbyists definitely sabotaged Jordan – but not Jordan alone! Nor, says Gaetz, were they acting on their own initiative. Kevin McCarthy was trying to reclaim the Speakership the whole time. Nancy Mace would confirm that the next day. She said this to Steve Bannon: This thing didn’t need to last through three weeks. So the first thing that McCarthy and his allies did was prolong it and delay it and recess us and adjourn us every time they possibly could to drag this thing out and make it as painful as possible. For the eight of us who held the line and kicked McCarthy out of the speakership, that’s number one. Number two, there was a concerted and orchestrated effort at the hand of McCarthy that every time someone ascended, they got knifed in the back, including America’s favorite Republican congressman in Jim Jordan. I mean, our conference couldn’t even elect the best and favorite congressman in this country, Jim Jordan, because of what McCarthy and his allies were doing behind the scenes and orchestrating his failure. And that of Steve Scalise. But Tom Emmer was never a sincere candidate, but was in fact McCarthy’s decoy. Matt Gaetz provided far greater detail: The chapter of this that was dispositive, the crescendo, begins as Tom Emmer is withdrawing from the race [October 24]. I told Emmer on Sunday that he was not going to get there – that he was going to move like a hot knife through butter through the first 80 percent of the Conference. But … there was going to be a series of votes that were never going to be there for him. He wanted to run through it. I said, “Tom, here’s the deal. You can have your own way, but when you get to that last group that will not support you, you cannot drag this on for days, you cannot drag this on for weeks, you cannot play into what Kevin McCarthy was working the whole time, to get people to believe that the only person who could govern the Republican Conference was Kevin McCarthy.” So Emmer agrees that he’s going to have his shot, but it’s going to be quick. It was quick, all right – about four hours and twenty minutes, give or take ten. And then: We get that through the Gestation system early yesterday. So as Emmer is withdrawing, Mark Molinaro, a moderate New York freshman Republican, stands up at the microphone and says, well, instead of restarting this process and having a candidate forum and sending everybody home for a good cry, let’s just take a non binding poll on where people would be on the person who came in second to Tom Emmer, and that was Mike Johnson. And Elise Stefanik said, well, that’s against the rules. The rules don’t contemplate it. We can’t do that. And brilliantly Mark Molinaro says, then I move for unanimous consent that the rules be [suspended], and we take a poll on whether or not Mike Johnson could be our Speaker nominee. That explains this post by Jake Sherman: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716918257184362522 But wait! And guess who objects to that unanimous consent request? — Kevin McCarthy! Kevin McCarthy stands up and says, I object to doing a roll call on Mike Johnson. And when he did that, he gave the game away: And Mike Johnson was exasperated. All the times Johnson had voted for McCarthy, had carried his water, maybe even voted for some bills he didn’t like because he was working toward the Republican conference’s stated objectives under McCarthy. And here was the thing — It showed everyone that it was actually McCarthy who was working to knife Scalise. It was actually McCarthy who was working to knife Jim Jordan. It was McCarthy working to knife everyone, and he hadn’t yet figured out a way to knife Mike Johnson. And so he was worried that there was going to be this great unifying moment, and he scuttled the unifying moment. So what next? So because of McCarthy’s objection, we had to have this three hour delay, and candidates announce again, have another forum. And guess what happens during that delay, Steve? Patrick McHenry runs to the House floor, opens it up out of recess, and then adjourns till noon today [October 25]. Now, why did he do that? Because they were setting up a play to block Mike Johnson with write in votes in the intra-conference process for Kevin McCarthy. They were promising people hearings on their favorite legislation, passage of bills. I heard people promised, oh, maybe you’ll get a chairmanship. And the play was for McCarthy to return as speaker and then Jim Jordan to be the deputy speaker in some sort of way, like, Dwight Schrute assistant to the regional manager posture. And that would have been debasing to Jordan, someone I like a great deal, and it would have been empowering to McCarthy. Dwight Schrute is a fictional character on the television series The Office. He is the typical Number Two trying to become Number One through dutiful service. Gaetz went on: So Garrett Graves and all these people are working to try to effectuate this return of McCarthy, and they’re telling us they’re going to be a hundred votes for McCarthy on the write in. You know how many there were? Thirty-three on the first write in. So they flame out terribly. Mike Johnson’s gaining momentum. That explains these three posts by Sherman: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716990896451829883 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716991382772977981 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716992320870961465 Wrapping it up Gaetz then delivered this rousing finish: Ultimately, McCarthy gets forty-three to vote for him on a secret ballot, but Mike Johnson gets a majority. And then he [Mike Johnson] says, “You know what I want? I want a roll call vote.” So that those forty-three would have to announce themselves as being for a candidate who wasn’t even running instead of a unifying force like Mike Johnson. And when we called for the roll call. Do you know how many people voted for Kevin McCarthy? ZERO! So he went from promising a hundred votes, to delivering forty-three, to ZERO willing to vote for him! And everyone in the room knew at that moment that I wasn’t the force for chaos. I wasn’t causing disunity that for the last three weeks. The reason the House of Representatives has been paralyzed is because for his own selfish gain, Kevin McCarthy was sabotaging the candidacy of anyone else because he was plotting a return. And we stopped it. And in the place of Kevin McCarthy, we get a Bayou, Louisiana mike Johnson, a brilliant Constitutional attorney. That explains why Tom Emmer loudly, and manfully, cast his vote for Johnson on the House floor. But Nancy Mace revealed something else in her interview with Steve Bannon. Namely that several times in the last week, Kevin McCarthy was “having melt-downs” and screaming at people. Let the reader picture this: a former Speaker of the House of Representatives was ranting and raving and screaming at the top of his lungs at those who he perceived as obstructing him. She also said that she received at least four threats on her life – how credible, she would not say. (Nor would she speculate on whom she suspected of making the threats.) Obviously K Street has lost, and lost heavily. We also know why Mike Johnson commanded the unanimous support of the House Republican Conference. He dared put his fellow Conferees on the spot – but by then, most of them wanted nothing more to do with McCarthy or his schemes. Nancy Mace’ testimony about his ranting and raving and screaming at the top of his lungs, lends further proof. This also shows that Mike Johnson is a bolder and more powerful advocate than most would give him credit for. In fact he’s been known to provoke a fellow member – Delegate Stacy Plaskett (D-U.S.V.I.) to unprofessional conduct. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1641444051164741637 Del. Plaskett was brazen enough to quote-post the video – and presumably stand by her conduct. https://twitter.com/StaceyPlaskett/status/1641502868598411264 Which didn’t go over very well. Onward and upward The Democrats are clearly not happy with this outcome – but no one can expect them to be. But the RINO contingent will still be dangerous. So perhaps Mike Johnson should take this advice: Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Mike Johnson elected Speaker of the House By Terry A. Hurlbut Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) today became Speaker of the House of Representatives, ending a 22-day vacancy in that office. He also became the first, and only, Speaker to win election to fill a mid-term vacancy of the chair that came about on a motion from the floor of the House. Mike Johnson wins in one ballot Mike Johnson came to the Speakership mainly by waiting for rejection after rejection of other Speaker candidates. The day before the House voted to elect him, the House Republican Conference held two nomination elections. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), House Majority Whip, won the first; Johnson came in second. But Emmer, realizing that twenty-six or twenty-seven fellow Republicans would refuse to support him on the floor, declined his nomination. Why he abruptly left the meeting in the Longworth House Office Building without a word to anyone, still remains unexplained. But today Emmer manfully cast his vote for Johnson, as did all 219 of his colleagues present. (Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin is out of the country, presumably on a fact-finding tour of Israel. This trip is incident to the ongoing Fourth Arab-Israeli War.) https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1717238295669707227 Of the 212 Democratic Members, 209 cast their votes for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), House Minority Leader. Reps. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), Lou Correa (D-Calif.), and Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) were all absent. Rep. Gonzalez was also absent for Jim Jordan’s third vote, as was Rep. Donald Payne (D-N.J.) Jeffries concedes At 2:11 p.m., Rep. Jeffries made a brief concession speech, in which he highlighted Democratic support for three measures that then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) passed with Democratic help. Otherwise he repeated Democratic Party talking points, in what could have been a platform speech at a Democratic National Convention. He capped his speech with an assertion that Joe Biden won the Election of 2020, and no election fraud occurred. The one possibly sour note he sounded, was to articulate apparently unqualified support for the State of Israel. At least three members of the so-called Squad have indicated their support for the quasi-state of Gaza. But between Jeffries and the Republican House leadership, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS) would appear to have no solace in the current House of Representatives. He also saw fit to speak of “strengthening” of the union of States, in language recalling Abraham Lincoln’s speeches describing the United States as “a perpetual union.” Whether he intended a “dig” at, say, the Texas Nationalist Movement, is not clear. While Jeffries was speaking, the microphones picked up a woman screaming at him. Punchbowl co-editor Jake Sherman identified the voice as that of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1717244490367262800 Mike Johnson takes the gavel At 2:25 p.m. EDT, Mike Johnson ascended the podium and accepted the gavel from Jeffries. He began with a gentle suggestion to Jeffries to “work together,” and with thanking Kevin McCarthy for his service. Johnson also emphasized his faith and spoke of his wife being in prayer for him. In fact he spoke a great deal about his extended family, and how important family is to Louisianans. Johnson promised to bring to a vote, as his first bill, a resolution in support of the State of Israel. After that he spoke of the problems he considered critical to American security: • Immigration, apparently without effective restraint, • Inflation, and • The national debt, now at a record high. Lastly he spoke of transparency and “decentralization” in the workings of the Speaker’s office, and the House. Then, with a message to “America’s adversaries” that “the people’s House is back in business,” he let Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), the Dean (longest-serving Member) of the House, administer the Speaker’s oath. Next, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) enthusiastically introduced two privileged resolutions to notify the Senate, and President Biden, of the election of a new Speaker. Those resolutions passed by acclamation. Reaction In one of the most detestable boo-hoos on record, Troy Matthews at The Meidas Touch declared the beginning of “our long national nightmare.” At 3:33 p.m. EDT, Jake Sherman received statements from the Biden-Harris campaign, and the White House, which he shared. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1717263004700484022 MAGA Mike Johnson’s accession to the Speakership cements the extreme MAGA takeover of the House Republican Conference. Now, Donald J. Trump has his loyal foot soldier to ban abortion nationwide, lead efforts to deny free and fair election results, gut Social Security and Medicare, and advance the extreme MAGA agenda at the exptense of middle-class families. 22 days before Congress must act to avoid a government shutdown and while our allies overseas at war depend on our help, extreme MAGA House Republicans elevated a man to second-in-line to the Presidency who still won’t admit President Biden won the 2020 Election. The American people have rejected the extreme MAGA ideology at the ballot box because they understand what’s at stake. And so to every MAGA Republican who supported this choice: We’ll see you in November. Ammar Moussa, Biden-Harris campaign spokesman Jill and I congratulate Speaker Johnson on his election. As I said when this process began, whoever the Speaker is, I will seek to work with them in good faith on behalf of the American people. That’s a principle I have always held to, and that I’ve acted on – delivering major bipartisan legislation on infrastructure, outcompeting China, gun reform, and veterans’ carre. I restated my willingness to continue working across the aisle after Republicans won the majority in the House last year. By the same token, the American people have made clear that they expect House Republicans to work with me and with Senate Democrats to govern across the aisle – to protect our urgent national security interests and grow our economy for the middle class. While House Republicans spent the last 22 days determining who would lead their conference, I have worked on these pressing issues, proposing a historical supplemental funding package that advances our bipartisan national security interests in Israel and Ukraine, secures our border, and invests in the American people. These priorities have been endorsed by leaders in both parties. We need to move swiftly to address out national security needs and to avoid a shutdown in 22 days. Even though we have real disagreements about important issues, there should be mutual effort to find common ground wherever we can. This is a time for all of us to act responsibly, and to put the good of the American people and the everyday priorities of American families above any partisanship. President Joe Biden As this user said in reply: https://twitter.com/Brian_Chovanec/status/1717263794731110891 The one is pressing an election campaign. Incidentally he also assumes that Donald Trump will have the nomination with full qualification to run for office. The other is talking about coalition governance – equivalent to “I’m an easy guy to get along with.” Neither man is telling the truth – not about Mike Johnson, nor about anything else. About the man Mary Lou Masters at The Daily Caller shared details about Mike Johnson this morning. Johnson is completing his fourth term in Congress, was Vice-Chairman of the Republican Conference, and sits on the Judiciary and Armed Services committees. He voted against certifying the Election of 2020 results, and in fact signed a friend-of-the-court brief in Texas v. Pennsylvania. 125 other Representatives signed the Motion for Leave to File. They addressed Executive Orders from the governors of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin,l that overrode existing law regarding absentee ballots. So, contrary to the assertions of various left-wing commentators, that brief did not specifically ask the Court to vacate all elections. https://twitter.com/RepMikeJohnson/status/1337213095077433355 Texas asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the election, to resolve many election-integrity issues no court has resolved. (Courts have dismissed those cases for lack of standing, and never decided any such case on its merits.) But the Court declined, 7-2, with Justices Alito and Thomas dissenting. Mike Johnson has also voted against “codifying” same-sex “marriage,” aid for Ukraine, and the Continuing Resolution. The passage of that Resolution occasioned the Motion to Vacate the Chair by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) did introduce a bill to ban abortions nationwide – after fifteen weeks. That cannot be a total or near-total ban, because such a ban would forbid abortion after six weeks, or sooner. Graham introduced the bill in September of 2022. Many conservatives insist Graham did that to “spook” the “abortion constituency” into voting Democratic at Midterms. Life and faith Mike Johnson looks much younger than his 51 years. Before he was a politician, he was a constitutional lawyer – with Alliance Defending Freedom. He has advocated for covenant marriage, now legal in Louisiana, Arizona, and Arkansas. Covenant marriages allow for divorce only on the fault grounds of adultery, felony conviction, drug or alcohol abuse, spousal or child abuse, or after minimum separation (one or two years.) His most controversial proposal in the Louisiana House of Representatives was the Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act of 2015. That law would have forbidden any adverse treatment on the basis of opinions on same-sex marriage. A committee of the Louisiana House tabled that bill. Ironically, it might now be effective nationwide, at least in part. 303 Creative v. Elenis, 600 U.S. 570, 2023. Members of the House Freedom Caucus have always looked favorably on him. In fact, he almost became Speaker back in January. How he managed to get the votes of his entire caucus is not immediately clear. But according to Axios, he won his seat by the largest margin in decades. So perhaps he used some “campaign magic” on the Establishmentarians who voted against Jordan three times. J. D. Rucker calls him “the least ‘Swampy’ Speaker of the House in decades.” Rucker expressed skepticism – after all, the Swamp is deep and full of quicksand. His first test will be to get regular-order appropriations bills passed, instead of “continuing resolutions.” Can he do this in 22 days? We shall see.

Tom Emmer in – and out! By Terry A. Hurlbut Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), within hours of winning the Speaker’s nomination by a close margin, bowed out of the race. He dropped out before the business day was done, apparently without saying a word. This happened after President Donald J. Trump signaled his unalterable opposition, as did twenty-six of Emmer’s colleagues. Tom Emmer wins nod – by the skin of his teeth Tom Emmer was one of ten Representatives contending for the Speakership in yesterday’s Candidate Forum. The House Republican Conference held five secret ballots in all, ending today (October 24) at about noon EDT. In the first three ballots, Emmer led, along with Representatives Mike Johnson (R-La.), Byron Daniels (R-Fla.), and Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) On the fourth ballot, Rep. Hern, in fourth place, dropped out. Then Rep. Daniels eliminated himself voluntarily. On the fifth and final ballot, Emmer beat Johnson – 117-97, with three not voting. Emmer, who serves as Majority Whip, did not have a good reputation among conservatives. In fact he once openly supported the National Popular Vote Initiative and Compact. This Compact would have its members assign all their Presidential Electors to the ticket winning the national popular vote. It would go into effect as soon as the member States commanded 270 or more electoral votes among them. Beyond that, Emmer called for amending the Constitution to remove all mention of Presidential Electors. Steven Ahle, writing yesterday in The Doug Billings Report, had worse things to say about Emmer. As Majority Whip he was key to electing Republicans. But he set out to break the campaigns of “MAGA Republicans” in their primaries. When some of them won anyway, he cut off all support. The only reason Republicans took the House last Midterms is that several campaigns ran “ballot chasing” operations of their own, in California and New York. Again, no thanks to Emmer. Trump opposes Donald J. Trump, understandably, has not forgotten this other Emmer-ism: Emmer refused to support Trump in 2024. He said so – loudly – to the Republican donor class. So at 2:11 p.m., the former President made his displeasure known on Truth Social: I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA—MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! He fought me all the way, and actually spent more time defending Ilhan Omar, than he did me—He is totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters. I believe he has now learned his lesson, because he is saying that he is Pro-Trump all the way, but who can ever be sure? Has he only changed because that’s what it takes to win? The Republican Party cannot take that chance, because that’s not where the America First Voters are. Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake! Opposition to Emmer’s candidacy ran high on Truth Social and almost dominated the main feed. Twenty-six of his fellow Representatives indicated at once they would not support him. https://twitter.com/TheCalvinCooli1/status/1716878615919669714 Several of them told All the Web News that no one could change their minds. In fact they said their Conference leadership could do with some changes. In fact, after the vote, Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) talked openly of “working with Democrats” to vote Emmer in. According to this X accountholder, several Democrats were willing to “sit the vote out” to let Emmer take the post. https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1716799126581481747 In fact, twenty-five minutes after the fifth ballot, a “buzz” started on X saying Emmer didn’t have the votes, and couldn’t get them. https://twitter.com/elwasson/status/1716857173731356897 Twelve minutes after Trump’s post, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) posted this: https://twitter.com/realannapaulina/status/1716883229322719673 Then Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News broke this: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716887973554499939 At 3:17 p.m. EDT, the Majority Whip was planning a news conference, but he knew then he might fail. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716896590307393978 At 4:00 p.m. EDT, the Conference reconvened, in the Longworth House Office Building. But the handwriting was already on the wall. Mene, mene, tekel u parsin. Daniel 5:25 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716906557869297954 Tom Emmer abruptly withdraws The “Mike Johnson” buzz continued, but certain considerations tempered it. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716912748712620407 Then at 4:22 p.m. EDT, Tom Emmer walked out of the meeting, speaking to no one. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716913278356774924 Word came shortly thereafter that Tom Emmer was out of the race, according to Just the News. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716913458741187065 At 4:43 p.m. EDT, apparently a discussion began to suspend Conference rules and narrowing the choice between Reps. Hern and Johnson. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716918257184362522 The Conference demanded that candidates declare themselves by 6:00 p.m. EDT. Shortly thereafter, Jake Sherman quoted sources saying that Hern, Johnson, and Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) were in the running. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716923799055315210 But the announcements didn’t stop with those three. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), at 5:44 p.m. EDT, announced six candidates in all: https://twitter.com/RepStefanik/status/1716933686128701786 Five minutes before the Candidate Forum was to begin, Rep. Rick Allen (R-Ga.) dropped a thunderclap on the meeting: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716936383657656762 That provoked a loud collective gasp. The Conference had planned to vote at 8:00 p.m. EDT tonight. But Kevin Hern dropped out of the race at 6:25 p.m. and endorsed Rep. Johnson. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716944044184723792 Five minutes later, Sherman made clear that the House Republican Conference, not the House itself, was voting tonight. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716945364232868265 The vote did take place. These posts give the details: https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716970054988759125 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716977235314221378 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716983970917658888 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716985013122601290 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716990719603118558 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716990896451829883 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716991382772977981 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716992320870961465 https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716995322780483704 At 9:57 p.m. EDT, Rep. Johnson won on the third ballot, with 128 votes. https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716997344531546282 But whether he can win the others over any better than could Tom Emmer is far from clear. If not he, who? Oddly, one name has not come up for Speaker, though it should: Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.). Bob Good entered the House in January 2021, after defeating incumbent Denver Riggelman in a drive-through convention. (Republicans in Virginia generally prefer to nominate their candidates by convention. In the spring of 2020, when Good challenged Riggelman, Virginia was under a COVID-related state of emergency. For that reason, Republicans everywhere, for two years running, nominated their candidates through unattended conventions.) Good defeated Riggelman with 58 percent of the vote, and went on to win the general election. He ran for re-election in 2022 and won easily. Good supported Trump all the way in 2020 and 2021. After the Election of 2020, he appeared at a rally and boldly declared that COVID pandemic precautions were an excuse to run elections in a fraudulent manner. (This notoriously included the establishment of unattended drop boxes for ballot deposit.) He voted not to certify the election for Joe Biden on January 6. Since Biden’s inauguration, he has refused attendance at State of the Union addresses, and sponsored resolutions of impeachment against Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris. But his most striking declaration came during a debate on anti-domestic-violence legislation, nearly two years ago: Nearly everything that plagues our society can be attributed to a failure to follow God's laws for morality and His rules for and definition of marriage and family. Likewise, he voted against the National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 – because it provided for registering women for the draft. Recent activity Bob Good was one of the “Crazy Eight,” including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who voted to “vacate the chair.” This did not please former Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who accused the Eight of “unleash[ing] furies” in their Conference. After Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) lost a third vote to be Speaker, the Eight (except for Ken Buck of Colorado) offered to accept any retribution the anti-Jordan holdouts cared to mete out, if they would vote for Jordan. They didn’t, so all talk of retribution is ended. And today, of course, he was one of the twenty-six holdouts that doomed the candidacy of Tom Emmer. On the fifth ballot, he voted for Rep. Johnson. https://twitter.com/RepBobGood/status/1716904953732862457 More importantly, he has been in the House Freedom Caucus since coming to Congress in 2021. He also serves on the House Committees on the Budget and Education and the Workforce. Why he didn’t declare his candidacy for the Speakership, CNAV cannot speculate. But he has been a consistent champion of personal freedom and moral standards. Rep. Rick Allen would certainly approve of him. CNAV urges him to declare his candidacy by any means within the rules, especially if Mike Johnson also must withdraw.

Evil – failure to recognize By Terry A. Hurlbut The Fourth Arab-Israeli War highlights the worst moral failure, not only of Western society, but also of nearly all others. Evil exists, and acknowledgment of evil implies two kinds of moral failure: by those who commit and/or take the side of evil, and those who fail to recognize it and stop it. In the present conflict, no person of good will can have any doubt who has committed evil. But the world now witnesses widespread failure to recognize evil, despite a promise not to fail in that way again. A theory of evil Any workable ethical, i.e. moral, philosophy requires a theory of good and evil. Fundamentally, one cannot define good or evil – any system starts with undefined terms. But one can state three axioms, or things worthy to assume: 1. Good exists, 2. Evil exists, and 3. Good and evil are each the inverse of the other. One can assume something else, that one can readily observe: evil has its appeal. All human beings, lacking proper ethical guidance, will tend toward evil. Paul of Tarsus laid this out in his Letter to the Romans (the Constitution of Christianity): As it is written: there is no righteous person, not even one; there is no one who acts wisely, there is no one who seeks out God; they have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, there is not even one. Romans 3:10-12 And who wrote that, before Paul did? King David, of course: They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 14:3 In another place in the great songbook modern churchmen call the Psalter, David returns to this theme: Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 53:3 That is not to say that none can do better. It’s that they won’t do better, without proper education – ultimately from a Divine Source – or Schoolmaster. So if evil exists everywhere, what restrains it?The answer: people of good heart, having strength, willingness, and sometimes authority. Paul of Tarsus first tells us that governments exist for this purpose. (Romans 13:1-5.) Thomas Jefferson said it more explicitly: To secure [the inalienable rights], governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Declaration of Independence Universal justification to fight it But to have one government to rule all mankind is not wise – unless it is a Divine government, which we don’t (yet) have. So who restrains evil in that event? Answer: whichever group comes under evil attack, that group – usually a nation-state – has the right to defend itself. Furthermore, the rest of the world must not let evil prevail. Evil that prevails against one group, threatens all others. For that reason, other groups have the right to fight against such an evil, before they themselves come under attack. That was the moral justification for the Alliance that fought the Second World War. Adolf Hitler created and launched an evil the like of which no one had ever seen before. The catalog of his evil ideologies and programs is too numerous to list here. He used all the methods of that author of evil we call the Enemy of Mankind (Hebrew Satan), or the Slanderer (Greek Diaboulos, a slanderer, whence Devil). First and foremost was temptation, and specifically the temptation of paranoid ideas. These included allegations about Germany’s greatness before the First World War, and who worked against German national and popular interests. Every good student of history knows the results – and how it took a great military alliance to stop him. (One witness told your editor that Hitler had the greatest army since Alexander the Great. And we have good reason to believe that.) Do we see a comparable evil today? Yes, we do, and ironically its target is the same as Hitler’s target. We have also seen atrocious acts that rival or exceed anything Hitler’s armies did – or Hirohito’s, either. Aaron Poris at The Media Line has testimony and photographic evidence of these acts. Witnesses include the staff of the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv, plus some foreign volunteers. The material they had to examine included the remains of the dead. Some of these acts – binding, then burning the victims alive, binding parent and child together and burning both – took time. Certain people obviously were enjoying themselves. And the presence of foreign volunteers adds further credence to the story. The Israeli government did not make these accounts up. Matt Gertz at the leftist Media Matters for America linked to the article: https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1715848616059756720 Eric Levitz at the “Intelligencer” section of New York magazine, dropped this thread. The first post quotes Matt Gertz’ thread: https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1715899887475142915 https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716138777096097928 https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716140909509710015 Reaction to his thread – including this angry Substack post from Erick-Woods Erickson – centered on Levitz’ apparent unwillingness to acknowledge evil. (Here’s another part of the reaction, from an accountholder who evidently didn’t want to give him a link.) https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1716484762796515761 He who refuses to condemn it, condones it So Levitz, probably concerned more about reaction from his fellow leftists, dropped another thread: https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716267343800578457 https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716268395199336594 https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716269463367037251 https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716270013579952594 https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1716270320217161916 He began by linking to his “Intelligencer” piece decrying the refusal, by many on the left, to condemn these atrocities. Sadly, his piece betrays more of his own reluctance to lay the blame where it belongs. For after calling the Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS) “a far-right Islamist group” (a categorization oxymoronic on its face), he condemns the Israeli government’s necessary and proper retaliation almost in the same breath. He still plumps for the two-State solution, or whatever “Palestinian liberation” means to him, in the face of these atrocities. The only redeeming feature of his piece is that he does call those atrocities for what they are. But at least CNAV can credit him with doing that much. Lessons from history Levitz makes one statement of which he probably doesn’t realize the full implications: Virtually all land is “stolen land” if one rolls the tape back far enough. Yes, but did he roll back the tape to the conquest of Jerusalem in 638 by Umar ibn Al-Kkattab, the second Rashidun Caliph? Or to the building, by Caliph Abd al-Malik, of a monument on a site he knew was sacred to Jews, in direct imitation of an apostate Hebrew king (Jeroboam I)? Probably not. In any case, no one is talking about forcible relocation of every Muslim Gazan. Israel is talking about erasing the perpetrators of an evil so great they could justly call it a Second Holocaust. Those perpetrators call themselves a “resistance movement.” The son of one of its founders gives the lie to that statement. He did so in an interview with Fox News, which Charlie Kirk excerpted here: https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1715020343415586896 And let’s remember this bit of history from the 1948 War for Independence. As Israel’s armies approached Jaffa (Yafo), they offered to let its Arab residents stay in place. Instead they fled to the Arab League’s side of the line – after the League assured them the League would win. No doubt the IDF will make the same offer to non-HAMAS Gazans that they made to residence of Jaffa. (But this time the Gazans will have to accept, because no other Arab country wants them today.) The right must also recognize evil Still, we cannot ignore the refusal by some on the right to recognize evil when they see it. For instance, here Lauren Witzke shows her gross misunderstanding of events: https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1716559370652102932 She cannot adduce evidence of either thing. And here: https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1716228364673888502 CNAV begs leave to ask Lauren Witzke to re-read two important verses in the Bible: I will bless them / Who bless thee, / And anyone who curseth theee / I will curse. Genesis 12:3 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. Revelation 12:14 CNAV has already explained the validity of futurism, rather than preterism, in interpretation of the Revelation to John of Jerusalem. (And would further advise Ms. Witzke to stop rearranging the deck chairs aboard RMS Titanic.) Then there’s this: https://twitter.com/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/1715077733712310736 Evidently the debunking of the Gaza Hospital Incident – and the Gaza Church Incident – hasn’t impressed her. But worse than that, she prefers not to believe that anyone now against Israel has committed any atrocities. Hers is not the worst example, however. Other examples, who do not bear mention here, are worse. Happily, many on the right definitely support of Israel, if only because they know evil when they see it. Herewith some examples: https://twitter.com/willscharf/status/1716434459384218030 https://twitter.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1716132974541124012 https://twitter.com/JasonMiyaresVA/status/1715053059766690068 https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1716611329644265738 https://twitter.com/PashaTolkunov/status/1716523260857241834 These are examples worth following.

Speaker candidates America cannot afford By Terry A. Hurlbut Eight Republican Representatives form a suddenly crowded field for Speaker of the House of Representatives, after Jim Jordan lost out. And already Americans are learning vital lessons that tell them which Speaker candidates America cannot afford. These candidates represent everything that’s wrong with “Republicanism In Name Only” (RINO-ism), including venal and ideological corruption. The crowded Speaker field Yesterday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) lost his third bid to become Speaker of the House. After that, of course, the House Republican Conference withdrew his name. The process left a bad taste in many mouths, because the American people saw RINO-ism in all its ugliness. As CNAV said yesterday, nominal Republicans have carried deceptive campaigning – and profiteering from office – to a high art. (Or perhaps a low art.) The only reason they can offer for people not to vote Democratic, is that Democrats want to nationalize all industries, after the manner of the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. (Or so they say. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., can rake in insider profits with the best of the RINOs. In fact her name is almost a household word for Congressional insider stock trading.) So in watching the House Republican Conference choose a Speaker, Republican voters, as they stand (or sit), fingers poised over their smartphone screens (or after flipping the levers on their multi-function steering wheels and hear the synthetic woman’s voices saying, “Please say a command”), need to know more about the eight candidates “running” for Speaker before they start calling various Legislative Aides (or whomever answers congressional telephones). The first rule any patriotic American needs to understand is: the House leadership is compromised. That applies to both Parties. CNAV expects no better of Democrats. But we have expected more of Republicans. That’s where the pressure must apply. Tom Emmer First up – or hopefully first down – is Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Majority Whip. That a man like him became Majority Whip should tell Americans all they need to know about House Republican leadership. Tom Emmer has been in politics since 2004, when he ran for the Minnesota State House of Representatives. For six years (2005-2011) he represented District 19B. But not many know that he took a four-year hiatus from politics before running for the U.S. House in 2014. So what was he doing in the interim? Shilling for the National Popular Vote Initiative, that’s what! The New York Post and The GatewayPundit have the details. Watch Emmer try to persuade people to abolish the Electoral College and essentially have city dwellers elect Presidents exclusively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-XAufiabFU When this video came out, a National Popular Vote Compact was gaining strength. As soon as it commands as many as 270 electoral votes, its legislatures pledge to appoint all Presidential Electors to the ticket getting the most popular votes. The only reason that Compact has not had a legal challenge is that it doesn’t yet command 270 electoral votes. Steve Bannon and activist Caroline Wren explain another reason to oppose Emmer. He evidently supports Special Counsel Jack Smith’s baseless prosecutions of President Donald J. Trump. https://rumble.com/embed/v3o1ylu/?pub=4teej Ms. Wren also holds him partly responsible for the Midterm Red Wave breaking on blue seawalls. Trump knows about the Emmer campaign and has vowed to fight it, according to Jim Hoft and Politico.com. Kevin Hern Next is Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) Jim Holt has the dope on him, too, which is: he’s a war profiteer. He profits from war by buying the common stock of the country’s armorers – the “defense industry.” For evidence, Hoft went to Unusual Whales, a financial analytical platform. The X account for that platform shared a graphic showing who, in Congress, benefits most from war. That was at the top of a thread showing more interesting trades by Hern: https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1715441818035167389 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1715441822976069769 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1715441826784526764 According to that bar chart, Kevin Hern is the worst offender. Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Tommy “Coach” Tuberville (R-Ala.) run second and third. In fourth place: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who made most of her stock trades when she was Speaker of the House. Unusual Whales maintains a landing page showing “political” insider trades. Last May, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and – in a rare moment of clarity – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) introduced a bill to forbid Members of Congress to trade securities, futures, commodities, derivatives, options, warrants, etc. while in office. Unusual Whales commented on that bill also. https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1653558739520323584 Unfortunately, H.R. 3003, the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act, has gone nowhere, according to GovTrack.us. The point here is that Kevin Hern is part of this political insider-trading racket. So he is not the sort of person true patriots want as Speaker of the House! Any good candidates for Speaker? At least four other candidates are in the running – Reps. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Austin Scott (R-Ga.), Jack Bergman (R-Mich.), and Pete Sessions (R-Texas). (Jodey Arrington, also of Texas, and Mike Johnson of Louisiana might or might not be in the running.) All voted for Jordan – though we don’t know how big the RINO “caucus” really is, given the vote staggering. But Byron Donalds made a name for himself by trying to stop Kevin McCarthy from becoming Speaker. He also took predictable flak from Rep. Cori Bush (D-Ill.), who called him a “prop.” In the debate on the debt ceiling bill, Donalds criticized Speaker McCarthy for not pushing hard enough for conservative priorities. More recently, Donalds has taken a few barbs for his unabashedly pro-life stance. Mike Johnson, if he’s still in the running, would also be a good Speaker candidate. Nearly two months ago he signed a joint statement, with Rep. Jordan and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), supporting Justice Clarence Thomas. Johnson also co-signed a brief in Missouri v. Biden, supporting the injunction now under Supreme Court review. The other six candidates are far less well-known. But either Johnson or Donalds would make a better Speaker than either Emmer or Hern. And the most important lesson is: no more RINOs.

Speaker race and venal and ideological corruption By Terry A. Hurlbut Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) tried a third time today to become Speaker of the House of Representatives. He began with a defiant press conference, promising to press on. (Indeed, he invoked Orville and Wilbur Wright, who grew up in Ohio.) But in the last week, evidence has emerged that he faces more than the usual “machine ideology.” The venal corruption of his Party and Conference has stopped him yet again. Republican Party faithful have long suspected that “filthy lucre” distracts their chosen champions from standing for true justice. But never in the history of the Party – except perhaps in the Party’s bad choices of “provisional governors” (the carpetbaggers) during Southern Reconstruction – have the venal corruptors of the Party been as brazen as they are today. The men with the cash-filled briefcases handcuffed to their wrists aren’t hiding them anymore. They flaunt them, as if to say, “Eat your hearts out!” Where the Speaker race stands Herewith the press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHDd8BkM4KQ Two days ago, of course, Jim Jordan lost his second round. And to make things interesting, twenty-two Republicans voted for persons other than him. Today it was twenty-five, with two each Republican and Democratic absences. The House was supposed to meet again yesterday for a third round. But then Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), Speaker pro tempore, gaveled the House to order and called for invocation and Pledge. Then he adjourned the House before a session could even begin. That’s because at least two Republicans talked about introducing a rule change to vest in Rep. McHenry the usual powers of a Speaker – for eighty days. But Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was having none of that. “Speaker-lite!” he thundered, and “Constitutional desecration!” In that same interview he made clear he would sooner elect a speaker other than Jordan than empower someone temporarily. https://twitter.com/RepMattGaetz/status/1715098880201617880 Gaetz has a point. The current dilemma recalls an occasional dilemma in ancient Rome, when the two consular, or head-of-state, seats were both vacant. In such a case the Senate of Rome would appoint a succession of Interreges. The first Interrex would have but one job: to oversee the choice of a second. This second Interrex would then schedule consular elections, which were not up to the Senate alone. Pat McHenry is a modern Interrex. He exists to choose a permanent Speaker, and nothing else. Ostensible reasons why the holdouts don’t want Jordan Today, twenty-five Republicans voted for a different candidate from Jordan. But one who voted against Jordan the first time (Indiana’s Victoria Spartz) has voted for him since. Since then, one holdout has admitted the gamesmanship to the media: staggered no votes, to show a growing opposition. https://twitter.com/Blue_LouBoyle/status/1714852044283232440 Rep. Don Bacon (R.Neb.) has given his bitter reasons. Jim Jordan won’t let the Election of 2020 go. Bacon would have people believe he has convinced himself that Joe Biden got eighty-one million votes. He did, but not from 81 million living, breathing adults who voted once only. The Rise of the (Voting) Machines has given us the Night of the Living Dead Voters and Cloned Voters. That any Republican refuses even to consider that possibility means one thing only. Such people dislike the nationalist populism that convinced a Donald Trump to make the Republican brand his own. Bacon no doubt considers Trump a hijacker, an upstart, a violator of the Gentleman’s Agreement among political machine Republicans. This is the quintessence of RINO-ism – that a Republican need concern himself with Grandma’s Social Security check, Junior’s application to West Point, The Academy (Naval), and Colorado Springs, and otherwise rake in the take from the business lobbies. Donald Trump has a different kind of mind-set. So have Representatives like Gaetz, Bob Good (R-Va.), and most (not all) of the “Crazy Eight,” as Bacon calls them. “I hope you’ve all learned a lesson from the experience!” this schoolmaster-pretender actually said. Excuses, excuses This bitter grudge stands as only one reason. Erick-Woods Erickson has catalogued others: • “Jordan can’t win! Let him stick a fork into it, and let’s move on!” • “He’s never moved a bill to passage! His Speakership will be a disaster!” • “Jim Jordan’s prior conduct in the job he had before he got to Congress was a scandal and an outrage!” (That, in addition to “we don’t want to hear any more about stolen elections!” Excuses, excuses. Those who say such things, are really continuing Reason Number One. Which reads: “That upstart Trump and Me Too Upstart Gaetz will be the death of us yet! OUT OF OUR SIGHT!” That last is no idle outcry; several of these RINOs tried to expel Gaetz from their Conference! Of course, if they had, the would have relieved him of paying Conference Dues. That would have opened a can of worms upon which they prefer to screw down the lid tightly. Except that those worms must be excreting something corrosive in their saliva. Because for two nights in a row, revelations have come to the fore that some business or businesses unknown, think they own the House Republican Conference. And they are offering cash and other favors to stop Jordan. How to buy a Speaker The first revelations came from Steve Bannon, who has a show he calls Bannon’s War Room. On Wednesday he had a Tea Party activist on his program. Then he dropped a bombshell of which not a single legacy media organ cares to take notice: 1. He has spies throughout cocktail-imbibing Washington, 2. Meetings have been taking place at the Capital Grill, a notorious lobbyists’ watering hole, and 3. The K Street Boys (and Girls) have been cutting all manner of deals with the RINO Holdouts to make sure they keep holding out. https://rumble.com/embed/v3njei7/?pub=4teej By itself, that might not mean much. But last night, someone came to Jim and Joe Hoft with even more stunning revelations. (Jim Hoft runs The Gateway Pundit and is a named plaintiff in Missouri v. Biden; Joe has his own operation.) A witness named Erin Clements came to Joe with the revelations; Joe let Jim share it on the Pundit. This witness reveals that Steve Scalise – for all that he withdrew his name from consideration to be Speaker and voted for Jordan twice – has been orchestrating the RINO Holdouts all along. And he has done it with FTX money. The Receipts This witness has what Laura Loomer, James O’Keefe, and similar actors like to call The Receipts. And The Receipts include direct contributions from FTX to thirteen different campaigns, each for a RINO Holdout. Actually CNAV can clear up some confusion. One of the campaigns is called the “Captain Higgins for Congress” campaign. The House has two Representatives Higgins, one Republican, one Democrat. Neither man has any Navy experience. But Representative Jen Kiggans of Virginia does. For ten years she flew CH-46 and SH-3 helicopters, under the handle of “Blossom.” Her one picture shows she was a lieutenant. But she also held many duties that could have involved her advancing to the rank of captain. Perhaps the “Captain Higgins for Congress” name was a slight exaggeration – but only slight. Furthermore, Kiggans, not one of the two Higginses, has voted consistently against Jordan. Laying that aside, CNAV revealed in 2022, when the FTX Scandal broke, that Kevin McCarthy took FTX money himself. And he used it to finance RINO campaigns to “primary” MAGA candidates and incumbents. That’s why the Representative from Florida’s 11th District is Daniel Webster, not Laura Loomer. (Daniel Webster is not only a RINO, but he dodders even worse than Biden, if one can imagine that.) Donor mules But there’s more. Federal Election Commission records show that Steve Scalise receives a suspiciously high volume of small donations. In fact he once receives ninety-eight in one day from the same individual. James O’Keefe knows the type: a donor mule. This is an often unwitting donor who gave out his contact information to the wrong person. It follows that both Party National Committees engage in “phishing expeditions” to get contact information from unsuspecting senior citizens. They then use these to make straw donations to their favored candidates. The senior knows nothing about this; they’re not foolish enough to drain his bank account. When James O’Keefe asked some of them about it, they reacted in bemusement rather than outrage. The only outrage is that sometimes these operations funnel money, in their names, to candidates they would never knowingly support. What those people want in a Speaker Any of a number of large corporations and corporate groups could be supplying these funds. That’s what K Street is all about. So what do those people want in a Speaker of the House? Someone who can continue the “coalition government” that McCarthy exemplified with his Continuing Resolution deal. He didn’t even have majority support in his caucus – so he cut a deal with the Democrats. That’s why Gaetz acted as he did. But the big corporations, corporate groups, and trade associations want more of the same. They don’t care about social issues. (Or they didn’t before an enemy of humanity committed an incredible series of atrocities, and many university students actually cheered that enemy on.) They want is their lucrative government contracts, Great Projects – and an open border, the better to import cheap labor. (And equally cheap goods that undersell American farmers and manufacturers.) These, sadly, include the nation’s armorers. So they’re angling for contracts for munitions, vehicles, ships, aircraft – and spare parts. I had a guaranteed military sale with ED-209! Renovation contracts! Spare parts for 25 years! Who cares if it worked or not? Actor Ronny Cox, as OCP Sr. President Richard Jones, in RoboCop (1987). You supply the pictures, I’ll supply the war. William Randolph Hearst, as portrayed loosely by Orson Welles in Citizen Kane (1941). True enough, some wars are necessary. But Congress should make that decision without regard for scoring bonuses from the nation’s armorers! Yet those armorers don’t see it that way. What happens now? At time of writing, the House has not yet elected a Speaker. But the people have at least fourteen names of Representatives who could use a good primarying. They include Rep. Don Bacon, the ringleader, and thirteen others who took direct bribes from FTX. They are Representatives: • Linda Chavez-Deremer (Ore.-5th), • Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.-26th), • Andrew Garbarino (N.Y.-2nd) • Carlos Giménez (Fla.-28th), • Tony Gonzales (Texas-23rd), • Kay Granger (Texas-12th), • Mike Kelly (Pa.-16th), • Jen Kiggans (Va.-2nd), • Mike Lawler (N.Y.-17th), • Marionnette Miller-Meeks (Iowa-2nd), • John Rutherford (Fla.-5th), • Mike Simpson (Idaho-2nd), and • Steve Womack (Ark.-3rd). These are the worst offenders thus far, but other guilty ones might surface. Erin Clements is still “checking the records” at time of writing. Those people might have a chance to redeem themselves – or not. But voters should take note now – as at least one Republican already has. https://twitter.com/realTrentLeisy/status/1714790180047950094 Voters must decide two things: what kind of society in which they wish to live, and whom can they trust. The second part starts with recognizing the true alignment of anyone asking for their votes. Past experience, employment, and associations will go far to tell voters what they must know. Moreover, voters must recognize the degree of corruption – both venal and ideological – that RINO-ism entails. A voter who views politics in that light can recognize that some Republicans are literally no better than Democrats. America does not want and cannot afford the kind of “coalition government” common to European parliamentary governments.

Q-Anon Shaman dishes: January 6 was a psy-op By Terry A. Hurlbut Jacob Chansley, known as the Q-Anon Shaman for his colorful costume, shared his story publicly this morning. In an exclusive to The Gateway Pundit, he charges that the January 6 event was a false-flag pseudo-operation. More than that, he says it was the opening gambit in a psychological warfare operation against half the American people. Specifically, it was against Donald J. Trump and his supporters. Background on the Q-Anon Shaman Jacob Chansley, of course, is the one who wore the costume with a Viking-like helmet and patriotic-colored war paint. He drew a 41-month prison sentence two years ago for his role – this although the Capitol Police let him in. (Not only that, but to all appearances they gave him a guided tour!) But in March 2023 Tucker Carlson released the first January 6 footage – showing the Q-Anon Shaman getting the guided tour. (And not only him but others as well, none of whom committed any vandalism.) Elon Musk used that footage to argue for Chansley’s early release. At the end of March, he won that early release, after less than 27 months in jail from his arrest. CNAV covered this release at the time, and now repeats: federal authorities have been lying to the American public. The non-threatening nature of Chansley’s conduct was only the most striking revelation. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick did not, as authorities asserted, die in the line of duty. Nor did anyone strike him with any sort of blunt instrument. He suffered a stroke and died on January 7. And: Ray “Into the Capitol!” Epps lied under oath when he appeared before the January 6 Committee. Ray Epps now faces trial – for trespassing. The Transition Integrity Project, in the summer of 2020, never contemplated a January 6 Event in its Biden-win war games. (See the clear win and narrow win games.) So someone must have decided to lay on this operation as January 6 approached. What Jacob Chansley now says The Q-Anon Shaman begins with what one must admit is a long-winded definition of psychological warfare. Actress Leslie Stefanson, as Capt. Elizabeth Campbell USA in The General’s Daughter (1999), gave the simplest definition. Mostly, we f*ck with people’s minds. Chansley concentrated on affecting the minds of a large group of people – and especially a mass electorate. Psy-ops are tissues of lies, with just enough truth to make people accept the lies as part of them. The world has seen these in the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, and especially with the misrepresentation of the Gaza Hospital Incident as the mass-casualty event it wasn’t. But that war demonstrates something else. A good psy-op requires a baseline campaign to “set the stage.” This necessarily requires either “moral equivalency” of objectively good or evil sides, selectivity of outrage, or both. We see that precise dynamic with the January 6 Event. The baseline campaign says that President Trump is a racist, and has built a racist following. (Or one can substitute “sexist,” “homophobic,” “transphobic,” or, until recently, “antisemitic.”) Furthermore, that following would be just crazy enough to storm the Capitol, take Congress hostage, and make Trump a dictator. Without that baseline, no one would ever believe the January 6 narrative – and the planners knew it. But the Transition Integrity Project war-gamers clearly believed that narrative themselves. Q-Anon Shaman goes into details The Q-Anon Shaman directly accuses the FBI of the operational planning and execution. (He also accuses the CIA, with his reference to Operation Mockingbird. Contributor Bradlee Dean has often reminded readers of that Cold War CIA operation – never shut down, but only redirected.) The FBI, says Chansley, directly infiltrated the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. This served both to gather intelligence on membership and lines of communication, and to steer the two groups to contemplate entering the Capitol. (But the FBI had help! Antifa and BLM both have confessed to – or boasted of – infiltrating the larger crowd at Trump’s big rally that day. A witness told CNAV within days of the event of watching self-identified Antifa and BLM agitators get off buses on 1st Street SE and having the Capitol Police admit them. This after they shouted their affiliations as if they were passwords!) Chansley also named names: • Sergie Dybynyn, whom the FBI boasted was a Ukrainian spy when they interrogated Chansley, • Ray Epps (of course), and • Nicholas J. Fuentes, who still has a Telegram channel and made his already-nasty reputation even nastier lately. He willfully distorts the narratives surrounding the Fourth Arab-Israeli War. Deliberate compromise of security and withholding of intelligence The Q-Anon Shaman goes on to share information one can easily verify. President Trump offered National Guard troops – in strength equal to one or two infantry divisions – to guard the Capitol. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), then Speaker of the House, declined. And – consistent with the FBI acting nefariously – the FBI withheld whatever intelligence they had from their infiltrators. Chansley describes in detail: According to Ex-Capitol Police Officer (CPO) Tarik Johnson, Former Chief Intelligence Officer for Capitol Police (CIO) Yogananda Pittman withheld vital intelligence from Ex-Capitol Police Chief (CPC) Sund regarding possible violence at the Capitol on J6. Shockingly, Ex-CPC Sund said the Pentagon also withheld vital intel, regarding the presence of known terrorists in the crowd on J6. Moreover, Ex-CPC Sund had his emergency powers revoked (by the House and Senate), through a law passed shortly before J6 and he was denied National Guard reinforcements due to a “Lack of Evidence” (which seemed to be intentionally suppressed) and “Bad Optics”. Not only that, but Tarik Johnson ended up asking permission to evacuate Members of Congress for over an hour. His superior didn’t merely refuse permission – he refused even to talk to this officer. The legacy media have reported in lockstep that an “insurrection” took place at the Capitol. Of course, even the Biden Justice Department has never charged anyone with insurrection or rebellion. Chansley also mentions a 1948 law, the U.S. Information and Exchange Act, or Smith-Mundt Act. That law regulated the production of government programming for foreign audiences. But it did not let the government show such programming to domestic audiences. But in 2012, Congress amended the law to make some such programming available. (The Associated Press disputed that at the time.) More to the point, legacy media have always lied about whether Capitol Police Officers died in the line of duty – and about the death of Ashli Babbitt. Destruction of evidence, and selective application of the law The Q-Anon Shaman shares two more disturbing government practices. First is the destruction of evidence. When the government made Donald J. Trump a criminal defendant, he gained subpoena power. Then his lawyers found out the January 6 Committee destroyed its own records. That, of course, begs the question of why the 117th Congress even seated that Committee. Regular readers know the purpose that committee served – to write bills of attainder against Trump and all his voters. The second practice is selective application of the law. Yesterday and today, large numbers of pro-Palestinian demonstrators swarmed the lobbies of the Cannon House Office Building, and the Capitol. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1714726182048960542 https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/1714763689474052270 https://twitter.com/joma_gc/status/1714754097398554777 https://twitter.com/SonofHas/status/1714821698241892686 https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1714731878199054630 https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1714809681124769873 Not only that, but the United States Senate (under Democratic Party control) is covering up, even with a false livestream: https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/1714791764341747890 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced her intention to file for censure against Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for her apparent role in organizing these demonstrations. https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1715007401030512977 https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1714970593756631124 The point here is that the kind of mass arrests, detentions without trial, and outsized sentences are not forthcoming. Chansley charges that “Higher Ups” in the Capitol Police permitted these demonstrations to begin and continue. Former Officer Johnson told Chansley that the Capitol Police is an arm of the Democratic Party. Evidently Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), while Speaker of the House, neglected to “clean house” in the Capitol Police. Summing up Anyone having eyes to see, should have been able to recognize the signs of a false-flag pseudo-operation from the start. The Q-Anon Shaman is speaking out now, mainly because: 1. Nothing stops him now, and 2. The spectacle of pro-Gazan demonstrations taking place with impunity provoked him. With regard to that last, the Democratic Party must be split about now. Why allow these demonstrations and simultaneously dispatch troops and a second carrier battle group to the war zone? Or is President Biden trying to have it both ways? As may be, Jacob Chansley has done the American people a valuable service, by framing the evidence in stark relief. But we also see that the Republican Party needs some housecleaning of its own. Getting rid of Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) was not enough. Basic human liberty is at stake, even as the House prepares to select a new Speaker.

The Gaza hospital, prejudice, and lies By Terry A. Hurlbut The Gaza Hospital Incident might be the match that starts a worldwide conflagration – or ushers in a false peacemaker. The modern Philistines who started the Fourth Arab-Israeli War couldn’t widen it by merely asking coreligionists to draw the moral. So they had to create a false casus belli – and getting rid of inconvenient sojourners was a special bonus. Or it would have been – except that the entire incident is a lie. And the continued promotion of that lie, goes hand-in-hand with historical revisionism, and not only by Muslims. What we first heard about the Gaza Hospital Yesterday evening, The Gateway Pundit reported, a missile struck the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City. 500 people – hospital patients (including infants) and medical, nursing, and ancillary staff – supposedly died. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) assumed, and trumpeted, the worst: https://twitter.com/RashidaTlaib/status/1714342122185191596 The Israeli high command falsely assumed that the Israel Air Force had struck the hospital because someone suspected it harbored munitions or something of the kind. The Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS), which is the Gazan Army, loves to do that. They love to use their own civilians as human shields, hiding munitions and tunnel portals in hospitals, schools – and mosques. https://twitter.com/Imamofpeace/status/1714386149337104854 Then the Israel Defense Forces revealed video evidence of the innocence of the IAF in that affair. https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1714370853465387395 The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, which are like Russia’s Wagner Private Military Company, fired a large brace of missiles at Tel Aviv and other points north. One of them, the IDF suggests, struck a target far short of the other targets. https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/1714369399853916392 https://rumble.com/embed/v3ndn2v/?pub=4teej https://twitter.com/Israel/status/1714593881801601043 Until recently, CNAV suspected that PIJ programmed that one missile to strike a target within Gaza. Being Muslims, they would have two incentives to blow up that particular Gaza Hospital. First, its administration and medical staff were Christians – Baptist missionaries, in fact. Second, they could blame The Jews once again, and this time light the fuse that fizzled out before. New evidence: the Gaza Hospital is still intact! But now we have evidence that at least half the stories with which so many media have run, were lies. Even The Gateway Pundit let HAMAS “take” them – but no more. At noon today Jim Hoft followed up with new satellite images showing that the damage was much less than reported. A rocket did misfire – and hit the parking lot, not the building. (So it is not likely to have been a deliberate act.) Damage: a few cars burned out, a few roof tiles fallen onto a marquee, and a rocket impact crater. Casualties: zero. https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1714629327134834975 https://twitter.com/NaorGilon/status/1714471726707544322 https://rumble.com/embed/v3nhzvv/?pub=4teej https://twitter.com/Israel/status/1714545680562184434 https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1714513625598021868 Steve Bannon interviewed Alex Jones, who said much the same thing: https://rumble.com/embed/v3njhw1/?pub=4teej An hour later, Jim Hoft reported that Israel shared satellite images, showing an intact Gaza Hospital. https://rumble.com/embed/v3nkcgp/?pub=4teej Yet HAMAS and their allies in the international media trumpeted the story of an Israeli war crime all night long. Some of them are still doing it. Results And this false-flag pseudo-operation – or non-operation – has had grim results. Mobs have stormed and burned United States Embassies in Ammon, Ankara, and Beirut. (The United States and Iran have had no embassies in the other’s countries since 1980.) Already the cries are sounding for yet another Day of Rage. This brings to mind the third motive the Gazans might have for creating a lurid story out of a misfire. This latest war has divided the Christian community along lines of whether a given Christian likes Jews or not. Different eschatological interpretations (called hermeneutics in Christian scholarship, after the Greek word for interpretation) might inform these differences. “Covenantal” or “replacementist” theologians say that God is Finished with ethnic Israel; “dispensational” theologians do not. The Covenantals are out in force, proclaiming loudly the perfidy of “the Jews” and the “war crimes” of Israel. At least one apparent “covenantal” has already published a summary of Middle Eastern history – and Jewish Diaspora history – suggesting that no Christian has any reason to sympathize with anyone calling himself a Jew today. Nor does this division limit itself to the right. As CNAV has treated more extensively elsewhere, the left is also dividing itself. Until today, 72 percent of Jews remaining in America have voted Democratic and supported leftist causes. This support extends itself also to institutions, especially institutions of higher education. The Fourth Arab-Israeli War has brought latent performance and wealth envy to the fore, and Jewish benefactors have taken notice. Judging the Gaza Hospital as a case at law If the enemies – on the left or right, Christian or Muslim – of Jews and the Jewish State want a trial of the facts of the Gaza Hospital Incident, let’s have one. CNAV suspects they don’t want such a trial, but want to condemn Israel without a trial. But a trial we should have, to reduce the confusion that is now rife about this case, and much else. A criminal trial, including a war-criminal trial, often turns on credibility of the witnesses. In this case, Israel’s enemies said that Israel bombed the Gaza Hospital – deliberately, in order to kill Christians and “Palestinians.” Non-dispensational Christians have always held that modern Israel is an affront to Jesus Christ. God, is through, with national Israel! It couldn’t be any clearer! And thank you for calling and sharing, and shall we take our next call, please? Welcome to Open Forum. Harold Camping, radio network head, producer, and talk-show host, now long deceased. Muslims, who have historically spread their faith primarily by warfare, would naturally exploit that tendency. They also are the source of the instant accusation against Israel. So are we to believe the Muslim side in this case? Why should we? As real history has shown, Islam did not spread into post-Roman “Palestine” (Palaestina) by polite missionary outreach. It spread through armed conquest. After that, the conquering general build a mosque and a monument on the Temple Mount, to rival the central mosque complex and Kaabah in Mecca. More to the point, successive Muslim generals imported Muslim populations into the region. Furthermore, Muslim tradition explicitly teaches that it is acceptable to lie to advance the faith. We cannot now, therefore, accept their uncorroborated word uncritically, given their motives to misrepresent facts and events. Other historical revisionism But Muslims aren’t the only ones revising history. Once again, we see Christians doing the same – most likely in obedience to “covenantal” and “replacementist” theology. Greg Reese is a case in point. He has gained a favorable reputation in conservative circles, mainly because he called out the COVID-19 vaccine scam. (So have many others, including CNAV contributor John Anthony of Sustainable Freedom Labs.) But yesterday he turned to Middle Eastern history, trying to denounce the State of Israel as illegitimate. In his first paragraph he asserts that the name Israel in the Bible refers not to a geographical place, but to believers only. Actually it refers to both. It clearly means a place in the Old Testament, and Paul of Tarsus refers to Israel as a group. (See Romans chh. 9-11.) But John of Jerusalem, in his Revelation, clearly refers to a Land, and to the city of Jerusalem. Sabbatai Zevi was not the first Next he says, “… in the 17th century, Sabbatai Zevi was the first Jew to try and re-settle there.” Sabbatai Zevi was a real person – a false Messiah who drew far too large a following. And he did try to found a new Jewish settlement in 1666. (The Chabad organization has the dope on him, and it is not flattering.) But the first Jew? Really? The Crusaders, when they held Jerusalem, did not permit Jews to settle there. If they expelled Jews from Jerusalem, how could Sabbatai Zevi have been the first to resettle in Palestine? Furthermore, the Ottoman Empire, after defeating the Mamelukes in 1517, invited Spanish Jews to resettle in the land. This happened nearly 150 years before Sabbatai Zevi, according to MideastWeb. We also have proof of a Greek Orthodox presence in the Holy Land. Twelve years ago, Israeli archaeologists unearthed the ruins of a Byzantine church in Acco. (That city was called Ptolemais in the Apostles’ day, and Acre from the Crusades to the Israel War for Independence.) Reform Jews were not representative then and aren’t today Next, Reese quotes the Pittsburgh Platform of 1885, centerpiece of ultra-liberal Reform Judaism. But instead of crediting Reform Jews with that Platform, he represents it as speaking for all Jews, except only Zionists. Reform Judaism is modern Sadducaism. The Sadducees believed in neither resurrection nor angels nor spirits, as Paul of Tarsus testifies; neither do Reform Jews today. They represent perhaps 33 percent of Jews in America today – scarcely a majority. And very likely the Orthodox and Conservative Jews are “making their Way Up” (Hebrew aaliyah) – i.e., emigrating to Israel. In his description of the Zionist movement and the reorganization of the Land of Israel, Reese does mention the Rothschilds. They did finance the purchase of the Land from Ottoman absentee landlords. But Reese says nothing about how those landlords laughed all the way to the bank. Like Sanballat in Nehemiah’s day, they said to one another, “What do these feeble Jews think they’re doing? They won’t last a year in that desert!” But Theodor Herzl and others pioneered desert reclamation – making the deserts bloom. Nor does Reese say a word about Eliezer Itzhak Perelman – Eliezer Ben-Yehuda – the “Renovator of the Hebrew Language.” Today the Academy of the Hebrew Language in Jerusalem carries on the work he began. Of the true meaning of naqba, and the Khazar story Next he represents the Israel War for Independence as a massacre of all who did not share the Zionist vision. In fact the nascent IDF offered the Arab residents of Jaffa (Yafo) the privilege of staying, if they would accept Jewish rule. But the Arab League, especially the Jordanians, said to them, “Come to our side of the line; we will win! And then you can live as Arabs under Arab rule!” The entire Arab population of Jaffa evacuated en masse. The IDF let them go, and Jews moved in. But of course the Arabs lost the war, and called it naqba – the catastrophe. Greg Reese uses the word naqba to refer to an evacuation he says was forced – but was not. The Arabs would lose again, eighteen years later. And so we come to Rabbinic Judaism, which, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, developed after Titus destroyed Herod’s Temple. That happened in 70 AD, of course. Chabad offers richer details, such as the origins and place of such writings as Midrash and Talmud. But Greg Reese ties it strictly to the apparent mass conversion of the Khazars, after the latter lost their empire that covers modern Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and small portions of Russian, Turkish and Iranian territory. The Khazars might – or might not – be the ancestors of the Ashkenazi Jews. But the Jews who settled in ancient Judea/Palestine under the Ottomans were Sephardic Jews. They came from Spain, not modern Ukraine and other points east. Final observations – and returning to the Gaza Hospital Incident Furthermore the Zionists, especially Theodor Herzl and Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, were mostly non-religious. For this reason, most rabbis scorned Ben-Yehuda’s quest to bring Hebrew, a liturgical language, into everyday use. Finally, Reese mentions the Al-Aqsa (literally, Far Point) Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. These were part of General Abd al-Malik’s project to turn Jerusalem into an alternative to Mecca and make himself the new Prophet. The only reason Muslims accept them today is to spite the Jews, a grudge they hold because Muhammad held it. So now we see the others having a motive to exploit the Gaza Hospital Incident for their own agenda. That conservatives should resurrect the antisemitism of medieval Europe (and, sadly, of William Shakespeare) is doubly tragic. And it is no more excusable than is the antisemitism of half the left – the half now calling Jews “colonizers.” A willingness to distort history, thoroughly impeaches the anti-Israel side. That was reason enough to accept the accidental or false-flag interpretation of the Gaza Hospital Incident. Physical evidence, revealing the incident to be a wild exaggeration if not a complete fabrication, clinches it.

The Donors’ Revolt against woke faculty and admin By Terry A. Hurlbut Anyone who has ever attended college or university today, knows that freedom of speech goes only one way. Toe the leftist party line, or face shunning, if not outright expulsion. For decades the university donor class, consisting of any one university’s most successful (and generous) alumni, have declined to take a stand. Perhaps they feared that the cancel mob would come for them, too. But now a donors’ revolt has begun, after too many colleges and universities sided with those who committed wartime atrocities. Who started the donors’ revolt? Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Management and Chairman of the Board of Advisers of the Wharton School, started it. The Wharton School is, of course, the graduate business school of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). In September, UPenn hosted the Palestinian Writes Literary Festival. As Rowan would write later, “various UPenn academic departments and affiliates” “underwr[ote], supported, and hosted” this conference. It was supposed to highlight “Palestinian” art, culture and poetry. Instead it focused on the central grievance “Palestinians” have with the State of Israel. That grievance would appear to be that anything called Israel exists. Why else would someone suggest removing all Jews from the land, or confining them to districts the speaker called “cantons”? Why else would someone else defend violence against Jews as necessary and proper? And why else would many speakers call Jews “European settlers”? (CNAV yesterday described Middle Eastern history; readers will find there a clear showing that the Land of Israel is the origin country of the Jews. Emperor Hadrian deported them to Roman Spain, Gaul, and Britannia in 135.) Rowan would also describe “blood libels” against the Jews. He did not elaborate, but Merriam-Webster defines blood libel thus: the false and maliciously perpetuated accusation that Jews have murdered non-Jews (such as Christian children) in order to use their blood in rituals. Among the “rituals” to which Merriam-Webster and others doubtless refer, is the making of Passover matzah. This actually is bread made without yeast, and cannot have any blood in it, else it is definitely non-kosher. (In Hebrew, kosher literally means “fit” and usually means “fit to eat.”) Enough is enough! Before the festival began, several UPenn alumni and boosters signed an open letter calling on the university, and the departments involved, to rethink their sponsorship. Instead, UPenn President Elizabeth Magill and Board of Trustees Chairman Scott Bok demanded resignations of any signatories on the Board. Two weeks after that festival, of course, the Fourth Arab-Israeli War began. And it began with the most horrific level of atrocities in the annals of human warfare. Even the Tiger of Malaya, General Tomoyuki Yamashita, would blush at what no one can now deny. Apparently Rowan waited for Magill to condemn the atrocities, and at least reconsider her earlier approval of the festival. At first she did neither. On Columbus Day she posted to Instagram about “recogniz[ing] and honor[ing] native and indigenous peoples.” In reply, several students called her attention to the atrocities that the Gazan Army (Islamic Resistance Movement, Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS) committed in their war, and about Jewish and Israeli students at the university. (Rowan would accuse the university of allowing some persons, whom he did not identify, to “target … Jewish students and spaces here at UPenn.” The Daily Pennsylvanian has taken note that such acts did occur.) Another open letter According to CNN, the administration did issue a statement on October 9. It criticized HAMAS’ sneak attack and mourned the “tragic loss of life and escalating violence and unrest in the region.” That’s not good enough for Rowan, according to the New York Post. On October 11, he submitted a letter to The Daily Pennsylvanian, the UPenn student newspaper. This is where he described what happened at the festival, and how UPenn reacted to the open letter criticizing it. Now he was demanding more than that. He called on Magill and Bok to resign their positions. Furthermore, he called on the boosters to stop boosting – that is, stop giving money – until that happens. The donors’ revolt has now begun. Thus far, The Daily Pennsylvanian has declined to publish Rowan’s letter – though they have written about it. Both the Post and CNN report that UPenn spokespersons have issued bland condemnations of HAMAS’ atrocities, but defended their decision to let the Palestinian Writes festival to take place. But already one trustee has quit on the strength of these events – and donors have revolted. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that President Magill is in damage control mode. She has condemned HAMAS slightly more strongly, and publicly re-examined her approval of the Palestinian Writes festival. The donors’ revolt spreads Rowan appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box program to explain his letter and the reasons for it. https://twitter.com/SquawkCNBC/status/1712588762117489081 Steve McGuire of the American Council for Trustees and Alumni, noted the most visible sign of the donors’ revolt at UPenn. https://twitter.com/sfmcguire79/status/1713664285212061774 Today Jacob Savage, at The Free Press, described the donors’ revolt in greater detail. Bari Weiss, Savage’ boss, left a preface on his article asking whether the “woke bill” has fallen due. Savage mentions Bill Ackman, who famously put Harvard students on a hiring blacklist after they blamed Israel for everything. Ackman took note of the doings at UPenn and offered this: None of these institutions are solvent without the support of their alumni. Perhaps this is the beginning of a catalyst for change. The donors’ revolt also spread to Harvard. The Wexner Foundation announced today that its association with Harvard Kennedy School (formerly JFK School of Government) is now ended. https://twitter.com/JudahAriGross/status/1713948089302573506 The Wexner Foundation starts by noticing that HKS students and faculty “marginalize” and “shout down” the Israeli students the Wexner Foundation sponsors. And HKS administration did nothing to stop it. And after the latest war began, Wexner Israel Fellows reported feeling abandoned. Fed up, the Wexner Foundation has ended all programs with HKS. Realities at various universities The reaction to the above post includes mention of a connection The Free Press might have missed. Leslie Wexner not only founded the women’s intimate apparel chain Victoria’s Secret, but also had a connection to suspected child megatrafficker Jeffrey Epstein. https://twitter.com/NEWS_MAKER/status/1713958042918584464 Another user pointed to the exquisite irony of Harvard’s situation: https://twitter.com/Americanattire/status/1714023795374305386 A third user pointed to the real issue: that universities have lost their moral compass. https://twitter.com/JanineAScott/status/1713980510891065598 That’s truer than Ms. Scott knows, because most Ivy League institutions in fact began as divinity schools. UPenn traces its origin to Founding Father Benjamin Franklin. But nearly all universities in America have lost whatever moral compass they once had. They became part of the liberal coalition. And what many should have realized is that the universities (except for Jewish institutions) barely tolerated their Jewish students. Since the war began, university students and some faculty have openly taken sides against Jews. This has demonstrably resulted in some nasty antisemitic incidents, including one in the Philadelphia area, though not at UPenn. At Drexel University, someone set fire to a Jewish student’s dorm room door, according to WCAU-TV (Channel 10, NBC, Philadelphia). And at Stanford University, an instructor singled out his Jewish students and ordered them to stand in the corner. He then informed them they were getting the treatment their Israeli coreligionists meted out to Palestinians. (Source: Todd Starnes, and The Forward. Stanford has since suspended that instructor, according to The Post Millennial.) It’s about time! The donors’ revolt is long overdue, and CNAV hopes it has “legs.” Sadly, it took a war featuring atrocities not seen since the Second World War to provoke it. That war has brought out the worst in university faculties and administrations. They actually defend atrocities, and blame their victims. But those expressing conservative opinion have suffered in silence for decades – if they haven’t foregone university education entirely. Does anyone still ask why education correlates positively with leftist voting (and negatively with rightist voting)? That’s why. Your editor attended Yale College in 1976-80. Twice CNAV has written open letters decrying “woke” decisions by the college and the medical school. CNAV has also noted how overrated college has become, unless a student majors in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics. And now we see colleges managing to ruin even those disciplines, which once taught the quintessence of objective reality. If a donors’ revolt can repair that problem, then higher education can again become “high.” Today it is low – so low that the campus reaction to the present war was inevitable. CNAV is pleased with the donors’ revolt, but only middling pleased, by reason of the delay. CNAV calls on university donors everywhere to reexamine what they wish to accomplish with their donations, and the actual and present missions of the institutions they support.

Middle East – truth and consequences By Terry A. Hurlbut The time to face some truths about the history of the Middle East has definitely come. As CNAV has noted before, the Fourth Arab Israeli War is dividing people, political factions, and countries as never before. This can only mean that people have turned this war into a kind of judicial proceeding. Israel and potentially all the Muslim world are the parties to the case. But perhaps some people shouldn’t take on the job of “trier of fact” as they have. If they’re not prepared to examine critically the reports they receive, then they cannot make a good judgment. To decide who’s right and who’s wrong, people need a proper historical context. Current state of the war The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are waiting for better weather before launching a full-on ground invasion. But they are striking at targets in Gaza, mainly in Gaza City, in the northern part of the Strip. They did warn civilians in Gaza City to evacuate and move south. https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1713453410534543518 Immediately rumors flew that the Israelis dropped bombs on them as they were trying to evacuate, or that Israeli squads, conducting localized raids, somehow blocked the evacuation. https://twitter.com/Samehahabeeb/status/1712952181534412827 Evidently someone forgot that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS) boasted of capturing several IDF fighting vehicles. So merely because a fighting vehicle in Gaza bears Israeli markings, doesn’t mean Israelis were driving it. https://twitter.com/LilMandee86/status/1713379864105898435 In fact, HAMAS instructed their people not to evacuate. And many took those instructions in the grand manner, demonstrating publicly that they preferred to die in place. https://twitter.com/Samehahabeeb/status/1712843991824191966 Martyrdom – literally, bearing witness by dying – is not only a common Muslim practice but also, according to their traditions, sends the soul instantly to a Muslim’s idea of heaven. Which, furthermore, is more like a brothel than the place of rest to which a Christian looks forward. One can readily see that HAMAS – and most Muslims in power in the Middle East – salt their messages with lies. And why not? Lying – in Arabic, taquiyyah – is a common tactic. Muhammad taught his followers to lie if they could get away with it and it would advance the faith. And advancement of the faith always means conquering land for it. The Middle East – a long and bloody history The Middle East has always been a combat zone. And no wonder – it is literally the crossroads of the world and always has been. The British would never have built the Suez Canal, that connects the Mediterranean and Red Seas, otherwise. In fact, Jerusalem is the aviation centroid of the world, even today. (That is: the sum of flying distances from Jerusalem to every other airport in the world is shorter, in aggregate, than the sum of flying distances from any other city to every other airport.) Perhaps that is why God told Abraham, natural born citizen of Ur Kasdim (“Ur of the Chaldees”), to settle there. (Perhaps “settle” isn’t the right word; Abraham and his descendants were nomads for centuries before his grandson Jacob entered Egypt.) In any event, Arabs and Jews (originally Israelites) both descend from Abraham. But for hundreds of years, or thousands, Arabs remained nomadic. The Israelites, of course, spent 430 years in Egypt, first as honored guests – then as slaves. After their rather colorful escape, they made their way back to what we call the Holy Land today. Their escape happened on 1491 BC, and they entered the Holy Land forty years later. And they have maintained a presence in that Land ever since. Even the Exile did not mean a complete evacuation, leaving not a soul present. But of course, after the defeat of King Zedekiah of Judah, life in that Land would never be the same. Origins of current names The greatest confusion comes from slight changes of ancient names in the languages of successive conquerors. Herewith a primer on those names. When Abraham and his son Isaac roamed the Land, they dealt with a people they called the Philistines. After the Exodus, Joshua and later chroniclers described dealings with another people, occupying the same land, also called Philistines. These are not the same people. First to occupy the land called Philistia were the Avvites. During the Israelite Sojourn in Egypt, a people calling themselves the Caphthorites sailed in from Crete and displaced them. These are the Philistines who trouble the peace of Israel for nearly four hundred years, before King David’s reign. And what does Philistine mean? It means “neighbor” at best – or “intruder” or “unlawful sojourner” at worst. These Caphthorite Philistines built five cities, and called their nation-state the Five Cities. Their names are Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron, Gath – and Gaza. The Philistines ran them until Nebuchadnezzar wiped them out. Of Ekron and Gath, only ruins remain. But Israel today controls Ashdod and Ashkelon. And a people calling themselves “Palestinian” control Gaza, which was under Egyptian control until the Six-day War of 1967. But where do they come from, and where do they get that name? In fact, the name Palestine is Latin for Philistia. (In fact that name translates into Arabic as Filastin – Philistine.) How the present inhabitants came there, involves another philosopher-general: Muhammad. Beginning of Islam Rome held sway over the Middle East and other lands east of Italy for centuries. In 135 AD, Emperor Hadrian faced a second rebellion of the Jews. (The first happened in AD 70, after the Year of the Three Emperors.) A fed-up Hadrian scattered the Jews throughout his Empire, renamed Judea Province as Palaestina (Palestine), and renamed Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina. After a long succession of Emperors, came Constantine. He moved the capital of the sprawling Empire to ancient Byzantium, which he named Constantinople. Thereafter the Roman Empire had two capitals: the original capital, and the new eastern capital. In 454, of course, Rome fell – but Constantinople did not. So the eastern half the empire remained – as the Byzantine Empire. Muhammad was an Arab who resented Byzantine rule. But he knew his fellow Arabs had no common principle to unite them. Without that, they would surely lose. So he invented a religion. He called it “Submission” – Islam. The people of Mecca, where he was born, dismissed his ravings as that of a lunatic. (How appropriate: he appropriated an idol in the form of a moon god and represented that as the God, or Allah, of his teachings.) When the Meccans turned nasty, he fled – to Medina, then a center of commerce. The reason for that is that Jews lived there. Muhammad tried to sell the Jews on his new creed – and they rejected him. He bore a grudge against them for the rest of his life. The Islamization of the Middle East Muhammad wrote the Fighting Words of the Koran after that rejection. Those words became his by-words as he raised an army to conquer in the name of his new faith. He established a long line of generals who swept the Byzantines out of the Arabian Peninsula – and then out of the rest of the Middle East. Abd al-Malik, one of those successors, conquered Jerusalem. He built the Dome of the Rock on the site of the Temple (Herod’s Temple) which Titus, future Emperor of Rome, destroyed in 70 AD. When his successors desecrated the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Pope Urban IX called for the reclamation of Jerusalem. The Crusades were the result. Four such wars took place, beginning in the eleventh century. Then in the 13th century came the Mamelukes, who expelled the last Crusader Kingdoms from the region. Several Arab-speaking Muslims settled in the land – but so did many Jews from Spain, beginning late in the fourteenth century. In the fifteenth century, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile made a treaty, sealing it with their marriage. Their combined armies drove the Moors out of Spain in 1492 (the year of the Columbus expedition). In 1517 the Ottoman Empire defeated the Mamelukes – and the Sultan invited more Jews to settle in the land. The Sultan did this, probably to spite the Spanish, who at the time were running The Inquisition. Zionism begins Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the Zionist pioneers came, to organize the Jews living in the region and establish a Jewish homeland. They prevailed upon a wealthy banker – part of the Rothschild family – to help buy land from absentee Ottoman landlords. These landlords sold the land, and laughed all the way to the bank, thinking they had “taken” the Zionists. Wrong! The Jews planted eucalyptus and other trees and transformed the desert into fertile ground. Thus they “made the deserts bloom.” At the same time a young Lithuanian named Eliezer Itzhak Perelman – Eliezer Ben-Yehuda – came with a radical proposal. He proposed teaching the Jews to speak Hebrew – which at the time was liturgical only. But he expanded the language to handle everyday concepts. Which is why Hebrew remains today the primary language of Israel. In the meantime, no such nation-state as Palestine has ever existed. The Arabic-speaking Muslims now in the Gaza Strip, and in certain towns in Judea and Samaria, never had an independent kingdom or other country. They came with the Mamelukes and the Ottomans – or came to find work after the deserts started to bloom. But they have never governed themselves. The Middle East after the First World War CNAV has covered the more recent history of the region before. Today CNAV would add this: the Ottoman Empire threw in with Germany and Austria-Hungary in the First World War. So the British sent a young officer – T. E. Lawrence, or “Al-Aurens” – to teach the Arabs how to fight and win. They did – but, as Osama bin Laden would do nearly a century later, the Arabs turned on their benefactors. First to do this was Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He suggested to Adolf Hitler that the correct course toward the Jews was their extermination. The doing was Hitler’s, but the idea was the Mufti’s. Hitler lost the Second World War, but only after killing six million Jews (and four million Gentiles). The Mufti ended up in the failed All-Palestine Government in Gaza. In the meantime, the British, pressed to honor Lord Balfour’s promise decades earlier, allowed Jews to settle in the land that was still called “Palestine.” In 1948, of course, under the auspices (sort of) of the United Nations, it took the name of Israel. Immediately the new State of Israel came under attack from three directions. In 1949, of course, it signed an armistice. War has continued, off and on, ever since. The Arab-Israeli Wars are as follows: War for Independence 1948-9 First: the Suez Crisis 1956 Second: the Six-day War 1967 Third: the Yom Kippur War 1973 And now, of course, they are fighting a Fourth War. Summary No one can judge the facts without first knowing the history – and how certain people represent that history. The territorial claim by Muslims to Jerusalem has its basis in empire-building by an empire that no longer exists. In fact Jerusalem went from one empire to another before, first, the War for Independence, and second, the Six-day War. President Donald J. Trump ordered the United States Ambassador to move his office out of the Tel Aviv compound to the consular compound in the southern part of Jerusalem. In so doing he recognized an accomplished fact. Who has the better claim? Let anyone trying to judge that, first ask which witnesses are more credible. Recall that Islam teaches its adherents to deceive others, if possible. How credible could such witnesses be? Second: what methods does each claimant use to keep order – and who starts incidents of disorder? The answers are plain enough to any who have eyes to see. Third, who were the real colonizers? Those would be Muhammad, then Abd al-Malik and his successors. And Muslims can only deny that by denying history itself. Which is why they don’t preserve antiquities; they destroy them. And even without all the prior history, one cannot overlook this salient fact. A group purporting to be an army for “Palestine” committed an incredible series of atrocities. When they did that, they forfeited any legitimacy they might have owned. Conclusion Only one set of conclusions is reasonable today. The Jews, not the Muslims, have the proper claim to the land. These “Palestinians” came late to the land and never organized themselves as a State. Today their purported “army” behaves worse than the worst sort of raiders, literally killing for the sake of killing. CNAV has also covered the flawed understanding of eschatology, and how this contributes, sadly, to “conservative” antagonism toward Israel. Yes, some prefer “covenantal,” post-Millennial preterism as a hermeneutic (literally, interpretation) of the Revelation to St. John of Jerusalem. Nevertheless, one cannot make common cause with an artificial, revisionist faith that rejects Judaism and Christianity alike. (Let the reader understand: CNAV prefers the hermeneutic called dispensational pre-Millennial futurism.) And for that reason, CNAV stands with the State of Israel. At the moment, they are contemplating the final capture of the last of the Five Cities of the Philistines. They didn’t start this war, which HAMAS planned for a year. But they intend to finish it. As for peace in the Middle East? Only God – the True God – will bring that. By the way: the Iranians, patrons of HAMAS, now have decided they will not attack Israel unless Israel attacks them. That, according to Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit, and Reuters. https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1713653332898947122 Link to: The article: https://cnav.news/2023/10/15/editorial/talk/middle-east-truth-consequence/ Posts about the current state of the war: https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1713453410534543518 https://twitter.com/Samehahabeeb/status/1712952181534412827 https://twitter.com/LilMandee86/status/1713379864105898435 https://twitter.com/Samehahabeeb/status/1712843991824191966 Article establishing the 430-year Sojourn in Egypt (courtesy of the Wayback Machine): https://web.archive.org/web/20141022200420/http://creationsciencehalloffame.org/defenses/ark-flood/global-flood-an-astronomical-date/ Life of T.

January 6 gallows – did the FBI build it? By Terry A. Hurlbut An alternative-media team now claims they can explain a disturbing image from the January 6 event. At some time on January 6, 2021, someone erected gallows – and this gallows exactly framed the U.S. Capitol. Now comes a new team saying they can reconstruct the erection of the gallows. They also say they can trace a member of the “construction crew” to the FBI – by said crew member’s choice of coffee shop. The January 6 gallows, and what the legacy media made of it An Internet engine search turns up this article in The New York Times, dated June 16, 2022. It shows the most common image of the January 6 gallows, and credits it to Getty Images. This gallows stands on the far side of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. Looking through it, one can see the west elevation of the Capitol. Most ominously of all, the hangman’s noose hangs directly over the Capitol dome. Catie Edmondson, author of the article, quotes a “pro-Trump online forum,” which she does not identify, as containing suggestions for building such a gallows. She also repeats a statement that circulated widely: namely that “rioters chanted ‘Hang Mike Pence!’ as they stormed the building.” But she disclaimed any definitive explanation of the gallows or who exactly erected it. Snopes.com has two articles relating to this sideshow. One has the same gallows image The New York Times has. It also has two X (now Twitter) posts from accounts sympathetic to the government. https://twitter.com/Journo_Christal/status/1346945835368501249 https://twitter.com/pdmcleod/status/1346942367543091200 Who those people are, who allegedly smashed the camera equipment and fashioned a noose from camera cables, is not clear. The other Snopes article attests to the “Hang Mike Pence” chant, by citing a reporter for Reuters. https://twitter.com/jimbourg/status/1347559078831284227 But this reporter didn’t talk about a chanting mob. Instead he said three different people said they wanted to hang Pence from a tree near the Capitol. So their connection to the January 6 gallows becomes unclear immediately. Motive Ms. Edmondson went on to spin a lurid vision of opponents of the present government (and Democratic Party) wanting to execute people after the manner of the Jim Crow lynchings. She cited “experts” as agreeing on one thing: whoever erected the January 6 gallows wanted to instill fear. All these articles came out in the summer of 2022. Less than three months later, President Biden made That Speech before an Independence Hall back-lit blood-red, with stone-faced Marine guards. In that speech Biden accused his political enemies of fomenting political violence. He did everything but call for a Ciceronian “Congressional Ultimate Joint Resolution” or something of the kind. That would be a resolution declaring Donald J. Trump, and all who voted for him, enemies of the State. But much evidence has surfaced, though legacy media refuse to consider it, that the entry (lawful or unlawful) of some 200 people into the Capitol was a false-flag pseudo-operation. And furthermore, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation orchestrated it. This forms the basis for disqualifying Trump from running for President again, per Amendment XIV Section 3. Yet when the Biden government indicted Trump over the January 6 event, they never charged him with insurrection or rebellion. But Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-Wyo.), as ranking member of the January 6 Committee, asserted that Trump approved of threatening Mike Pence and others with death. Trump denied that canard, and posted that denial to Truth Social: I NEVER said, or even thought of saying, “Hang Mike Pence.” This is either a made up story by somebody looking to become a star, or FAKE NEWS! New investigation and complete January 6 pictures Now an organization calling itself Open Ink has come forward, to Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit among other outlets. They say they can explain the gallows – because they have surveillance footage showing the crew that erected it. Hoft’s article has another image of the January 6 gallows, from a different angle. This right front angle shot shows a sign, wedged under a cross brace, reading “THIS IS ART.” Never once has any outlet shown any such image to the public before today. The infamous image came from one Tyler Merbler, who has this account on Flickr. But Tyler Merbler took five pictures, and only the last is consistent with the legacy media narrative. The first two have the THIS IS ART legend. (Note that he licensed all these images under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic License. He labeled them Gallows and Gallows II through V.) Mr. Ed Martin, of Pro-America Report, headlines a special collection of January 6 images and video. From the landing page one can see video of a crew of three wheeling a van onto the National Mall. (Two others arrive by taxi.) This cart is laden with the materials that later became the January 6 gallows. One can plainly watch that crew erect the gallows. Furthermore, not one Capitol or D.C. Metropolitan Police officer questions them. This footage comes from the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Administration Committee. It is the result of the Republican Party “flipping” the House of Representatives last Midterms. Who is Mister Coffee? But even that isn’t the most damning footage, though it does provide a vital context for it. A member of that construction crew, wearing a trenchcoat and a Fedora hat, leaves the site, using a cane to walk, to buy coffee. Timestamps – and the lighting and shadow conditions – establish the hour as 6:45 a.m. EST, give or take five minutes. At that hour, very few coffee shops would be open. He walks west along a walkway south of Madison Avenue, then turns north onto 3rd Street Southwest. Once he crosses Constitution Avenue, Southwest becomes Northwest. Eventually he crosses Avenue F Northwest and finds a little coffee shop on 3rd Street. This shop lies directly across 3rd Street from the J. Edgar Hoover Headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When he returns to the construction site, the gallows stands. The crew admires their handiwork, and the location they chose. They then disperse, taking the van with them. Those five remain unknown to the public to this day. Several obvious questions arise. Who would be brazen enough to buy coffee directly across the street from FBI Headquarters? That is, if he was not a federal agent. Why hasn’t the FBI figured any of this out? Wasn’t the footage available to them? And why did we have to wait for a Midterm flip of the House even to see this footage? And why did neither the FBI nor the January 6 Committee investigate this at all? An unsolved mystery What follows is a paraphrase of the late Robert Stack, host of Unsolved Mysteries – and also of Ed Martin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB-1lLWy4NE If anyone reading this has any information as to the identity, whereabouts – or fate – of “Mister Coffee” or any other member of that construction crew, please: • Email proamericareport@open.ink, or • Call (314) 256-1776 Do not call the FBI.

Muslim Day of Rage – could be worse By Terry A. Hurlbut Today, Muslims the world over held the Day of Rage that Khaled Mashal, head of HAMAS, asked for. So what results did Mashal’s call achieve? One crowd tried to cross into Israel, and law enforcement turned them back. Aside from several demonstrations, the shutdown of a city council session, and a few admittedly tragic casualties, that is the only result that call achieved. While this dog did not bark, a State governor and a U.S. Congress member took up slack in evacuating Americans. So yes, for some it was a bad day, even a fatal one. But it could have been far worse. And the head of HAMAS cannot have been satisfied with such militarily insignificant results. Day of Rage – what HAMAS asked for The Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS) is the ruling party, army, and security police of Gaza. They exist to wipe Israel off the map. And not the State of Israel only, but all who call themselves Jews. Khaled Mashal, head of HAMAS, called on Muslims worldwide to rise up and march on Jerusalem. D-Day was today. https://rumble.com/embed/v3lvvsq/?pub=4teej “Brother Rachid,” a convert to Christ from Islam, shared a rough translation: https://twitter.com/BrotherRasheed/status/1711933917098316276 Briefly, he demanded four things: 1. Mass demonstrations and a “show [of] anger” in Muslim countries and wherever Muslims lived, 2. Financial contributions to HAMAS’ war effort, 3. Political pressure to stop Israel from invading Gaza, and 4. For Muslims to travel to Israel if at all possible and fight the War of Annihilation of the Jews. So what happened? The political pressure came, all right – but Israel seems immune to it. After the atrocities they suffered on the first day of the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, they’ll take no advice from anyone. As to financial aid, they have that – from the Iranians. (Contrary to Biden administration pronouncement, the $6 billion is not frozen and will not be. The Iranians have so boasted.) But no one has heard anything about small donations going to HAMAS accounts in response to this particular call. (HAMAS has other ways to raise funds, and always has, according to this BBC report from nine years ago.) What about those marches into Israel? We now turn to the call for Muslims to travel to, and if necessary smash their way into, Israel. Three reports, from Microsoft Network, Breitbart, and the Middle East Eye, tell us what happened. Five hundred people – less than the strength of a battalion – marched toward a border fence separating Jordan from the Negev. This would be south of the Dead Sea. They were seeking to cross into Israel. If any of them were carrying weapons, the available footage does not show this. Jordanian police turned them back with tear gas. https://twitter.com/MiddleEastEye/status/1712774458727907839 https://twitter.com/Joyce_Karam/status/1712817713465180252 https://twitter.com/MiddleEastMnt/status/1712855211113324650 https://twitter.com/i24NEWS_EN/status/1712732695648751777 https://twitter.com/qudsn/status/1712800096683729004 “Treason!” cried the protesters in Arabic. But reports do not indicate that any of those people crossed the line. In short, Point Four of Khaled Mashal’s program was an ignominious failure. Demonstrations – and casualties Demonstrations did happen throughout the world, and some of the consequences were more serious. In France, someone brought a knife onto a school campus, stabbed a teacher to death and wounded two others. Their attacker shouted “God is great!” in Arabic – but turned out to be a disgruntled alumnus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsLQFvLgxXw All the sympathies of anyone commenting on this story, lay with the teacher. In another report, French authorities have vowed to deport anyone supporting HAMAS or its acts. In Beijing, China, someone stabbed a 50-year-old Israeli Embassy employee. He will survive. https://twitter.com/BigBreakingWire/status/1712742783818310111 A member of the Palestine Scholars’ Association in the Diaspora said Muslims may kill Israelis “wherever they may be.” https://twitter.com/MEMRIReports/status/1712448719629529118 A crowd of at least fifteen people beat an Israeli at a protest in San Diego. https://twitter.com/OfficialKalal/status/1712934376944877754 A second-hand report said the Emirate of Qatar threatens to cut off fuel supplies unless the bombing of Gaza stops. Unfortunately, someone deleted the post. Several rioters stormed the Chicago City Hall and stopped City Council proceedings. https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/1712933333032677857 Another demonstration took place in Times Square in New York City: https://twitter.com/NJEGmedia/status/1712911227632959801 The Daily Signal reported on other demonstrations in Baghdad, and the University of California in Los Angeles: https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1712857139906056466 https://twitter.com/CRYPTIDSandUFOs/status/1712804283337388367 https://twitter.com/tazzman22/status/1712867518061093225 CNAV does not take these events, especially the casualty reports, lightly. Neither HAMAS nor those who have killed in their name have any excuse for what they did. Still, Khaled Mashal obviously enjoys far less support than he thought he had. This applies equally to sympathy as to willingness to commit violent acts. And on the war front… While this so-called Day of Rage played out, the Israel Defense Forces carried out some limited raids into northern Gaza. Fox’ Trey Yingst reports these raids have two purposes: softening-up, and intelligence gathering, especially regarding hostages. https://twitter.com/TreyYingst/status/1712868114210156587 The Israel Defense Forces have explicitly warned civilians to make their way south, away from Gaza City. But Yingst reported that HAMAS will not let people leave their homes in response to air raid warnings. https://twitter.com/TreyYingst/status/1712759689144889687 https://twitter.com/TreyYingst/status/1712784990767894937 Another witness reported that HAMAS set up roadblocks to stop the flight south. https://twitter.com/SaveLibertyUS/status/1712914193307795580 Here in America, the Border Patrol arrested two Lebanese who were trying to cross illegally into the country. https://twitter.com/LauraLoomer/status/1712816201712210093 Contrary to certain accusations, Americans are trapped inside Israel. Washington has told them to fend for themselves, and even to sign promissory notes if they want rescue. But Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) is taking matters into his own hands. Steadfast Daily credits him with evacuating 32 Americans thus far. https://twitter.com/MayraFlores_TX/status/1712147075331137860 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guP0zMQ_4CI Likewise, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed an executive order to charter flights into Israel, at State expense, for more evacuations. https://twitter.com/JacquiHeinrich/status/1712545090848305552 The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 and her strike group are taking positions off the coast of Israel. Today USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69 and her strike group were scheduled to depart Norfolk, Virginia, for the Mediterranean. “Ike” was scheduled to relieve the Ford anyway – but the Navy might order the Ford group to stay. So what about that Day of Rage? In summary, the Day of Rage has not accomplished what Khaled Machal said he wanted to accomplish. One group of protesters, about as strong as an under-strength battalion, set out with no weapons, and had police turn them back at the border. The toll from the demonstrations, while occasionally tragic and not trifling, is still distinctly minimal. Israel is ignoring the political pressure – and the financial support would be in place without the Day of Rage. So the head of HAMAS obviously meant what he said, and many did take him seriously. But they had their opportunity to do far worse damage – and have squandered it.

The civilizational war By Terry A. Hurlbut The civilizational war, between Islam and everyone else, might have broken out at last. Muhammad called for it as long as he lived, and that calling follows logically from Muslim founding documents. Khaled Mashal, head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS), probably thinks he is the next Prophet. He definitely has started something that will force all Westerners – and Jews everywhere – to choose their sides. Those who think he didn’t do it, and that the entire drama is a Kabuki horror show, must think again. For in protesting the idea of going to war, or helping those under immediate attack to defend themselves, they invite civilizational collapse and defeat. The consequences of that will not be pleasant. State of the Fourth Arab-Israeli War Khaled Mashal literally called on Muslims everywhere to rise up against societies where they are resident – tomorrow (Friday, October 13). Those living in countries bordering Israel, he called on to form armies to erase the Jewish state from the planet. https://rumble.com/embed/v3lvvsq/?pub=4teej https://twitter.com/BrotherRasheed/status/1711933917098316276 Today it began, in Paris, France, and several other French cities. Jim Hoft (The Gateway Pundit) tells us that France has more Jews – and more Muslims – in it than does any other country in Europe. https://twitter.com/AmyMek/status/1712554506557546897 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1712594773213589578 https://twitter.com/PaulTheBookGuy/status/1712558998430593257 https://twitter.com/x106_r/status/1712568701243805875 Jim Hoft also tells us that the New York Police Department has ordered all officers to report for duty in uniform tomorrow. https://twitter.com/NYPDCT/status/1712558528047845395 https://twitter.com/ImMeme0/status/1712585094634840547 https://twitter.com/NYCMayor/status/1712590202353422788 Earlier today came a report that an attempt to discredit evidence of HAMAS atrocities in the Negev ended in failure. Footage that Donald Trump Jr. shared, that he sourced from inside Israel, drew an accusation that it was old. It wasn’t – it turned out to be authentically from the first day (October 7). (Evidently the fact-checker couldn’t understand Farsi and definitely didn’t understand the Persian calendar – if he wasn’t lying deliberately.) Evidence of atrocities – and how HAMAS treats its own civilians CNBC and ABC each maintains a live-update page. At last report, the Israel Foreign Ministry at last furnished authentic pictures of 40 babies, some headless, most burned, that they recovered from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a quarter-mile from the Israel-Gaza border in the Negev. Several apologists for HAMAS, among them the Turkish news agency Anadolu, denied that the Israelis had any evidence. Then HAMAS itself denied ordering any atrocities and said it gave orders to “[try] to avoid harming them.” Faced with that, the Israel Foreign Ministry furnished three of the worst pictures in a post. https://twitter.com/IsraeliPM/status/1712471782303867144 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released video illustrating what civilian life in Gaza is really like. https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1712489646536482827 Another account shared video of HAMAS cannibalizing water mains to make rockets. https://twitter.com/Imamofpeace/status/1712510313910690243 As of now, all of Gaza is under siege, with nothing and no one getting in or out. Prime Minister Netanyahu has created an Emergency National Unity Government. It includes rival party leader (and former IDF Chief of Staff) Benny Ganz and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. https://twitter.com/TimesofIsrael/status/1712118135514431519 https://twitter.com/AvigdorLiberman/status/1712106069990760466 Finally, a candlelight vigil took place in Tel Aviv, to commemorate the casualties. https://twitter.com/DavidSaranga/status/1712525754938871860 Three faiths, each with its own civilization Recall this description of the three Abrahamic faiths and how they differ. Besides their founding documents, each faith has its own rules about the tolerance of those of other faiths. Christianity today is the most tolerant of all, on the theory that one must come to Christ willingly for that decision to have any meaning. Judaism does not seek converts, but holds itself to be one big family. (That’s why many consider Jews a race apart from other races.) But Jews recognize notable exceptions to this rule. The two most important converts to Judaism in the history of that faith are: 1. Rahab or Rechab, the temple prostitute in Jericho who pledged to follow the God of Joshua and his spies, and 2. Ruth, a Moabite who married an Israelite and, after he died, followed her mother-in-law back to Israel. Islam tolerates nothing and no one other than fellow Muslims. A Muslim knows only two great “houses” that include all of humanity. He calls them the House of Submission (Dar al-Islam) and the House of War (Dar al-Harb). History of civilizational warfare The history of the three civilizations that depend on these faiths is one of intermittent civilizational warfare. Muslims captured Jerusalem, in a break from their wider war against the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire. Abd al-Malik built the Dome of the Rock on the site of the Jewish Temple, to do two things: 1. Spite the Jews, and 2. Set himself up as the Mayor of a city other than Mecca to which Muslims could make pilgrimages. (Jeroboam I, who did the same thing with his Golden Calves of Tel-Bethel and Tel-Dan, would no doubt be envious.) Then his successor made a mistake: he destroyed the original Church of the Holy Sepulchre. So Pope Urban IX called for the series of four civilizational wars we call the Crusades. They all failed – perhaps because Crusader kings treated the Jews badly. Nevertheless, a Jewish population has always existed in Jerusalem since King David made that city his capital. This holds, whether Jews actually controlled Jerusalem and the land called Israel, or not. The original Zionists, with Theodor Herzl leading them, bought the land from its Turkish absentee landlords. Those men laughed all the way to the bank, thinking they had sold useless land to gullible Jews. But the Jews proved them wrong. Eventually Arabs came to the land – for work. These are the Arabs who, under Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, carried out earlier slaughters of Jews. They also made common cause with Adolf Hitler and his National Socialists. The civilizational struggle continues In fact, the Holocaust might not have been, if not for the Grand Mufti. The doing of the Holocaust was Hitler’s, but the idea was al-Husseini’s. Hitler initially only wanted the Jews out of the “pure Aryan Europe” he sought to build. He was going to deport them – to the Middle East. This is exactly what the Grand Mufti did not want. So he prevailed upon Hitler to exterminate the Jews instead of deporting them. Six million Jews (and four million Gentiles) died as a result, before the Allies conquered Germany. Hitler took refuge in a deep hole in the ground, and there he killed himself. The Grand Mufti made his way to Cairo, then returned to “British Mandatory Palestine” to continue his opposition to any arrangement accommodating the Jews of the world in any way, shape or form. Eventually he took part in an “All-Palestine Government,” seated in Gaza. Few Arab states recognized this government, and eventually Jamal abd al-Nasr of Egypt dissolved it. He faded into obscurity before his cousin – Yasser Arafat, founder of the Palestine Liberation Organization. This, then, explains every action by HAMAS and its leader. If Khaled Mashal does not see himself as successor to Muhammad, he almost certainly sees himself as successor to Haj Amin al-Husseini. A bid for power Now one can understand why Khaled Mashal sought help in beginning the present war. But one must understand something else: the Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb dichotomy clearly indicates that a fundamentalist Muslim regards all non-Muslims as sub-human. Khaled Mashal and his HAMAS organization are among the most fundamentalist of Muslims. And very likely he has the backing of a patron with $6 billion to spend. So when he declares war on the non-Muslim world, that world ignores him at its peril. Already he has taken Israeli lives in triple the proportion of lives lost on September 11, 2001. This is why this war is civilizational. Khaled Mashal has violated every norm of Christian or Jewish civilization – but throughout, he has adhered to Muslim civilizational norms. Under no circumstances can anyone negotiate with this man. The leaders of Israel have sworn to eliminate him and his movement. If this does not happen, let the reader remember another thing Muslims routinely tell themselves: “First Saturday, then Sunday.” First the Jews, then the Christians. Neither Jew nor Christian started this war. Muhammad actually started it 1400 years ago. Now three civilizations have clashed. If Muslim civilization wins, the “open-air prison” will be the reality for Jew and Christian alike. The atrocities HAMAS committed, before the IDF penned them back up in Gaza, are a mere taste of what they intend for the rest of the world. So the rest of the world must not let this happen.

Coalition fracture in Arab-Israeli War By Terry A. Hurlbut The Fourth Arab-Israeli War, according to some breathless commentaries, threatens to start the Third World War. Whether it will or not, it will definitely threaten coalition fracture on the left and the right in the United States today and possibly in other Western countries. Each coalition has its own glue to hold it together. But the war now raging in Gaza and the Negev threatens to weaken both those glues. So each coalition must find another fastening, or fall apart. Coalition fracture on the left: competing victimhoods The leftist coalition has always had victimhood to hold it together, as Dr. Steve Turley said earlier today. https://rumble.com/v3olgfm-the-woke-left-is-unraveling-over-hamas-and-israel.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6 Every member of the coalition claims to be a victim of one particular group above all: Caucasians of European descent. Caucasians – that is, whites – are guilty of crimes against all other groups. In fact the leftist coalition designates one particular kind of white as The Oppressor: heterosexual, cis-gendered males. This is, of course,l the essence of critical theory, according to which: • Racist ≡ White • Sexist ≡ Male • Homophobic ≡ Heterosexual • Transphobic ≡ Cis-gendered (Note: the mathematical symbol ≡ means and reads “is identical to.”) And: Antisemitic ≡ Gentile and Christian, and Islamophobic ≡ Christian. And that is the plane of coalition fracture today. As Dr. Turley asked in the above-embedded video, what happens when one victim group attacks another? When that happens, the victimhood narrative threatens to tear the coalition apart. So the coalition must reconcile the differences between the two groups – or suffer coalition fracture. The two sets of putative victims This is the precise situation with the Fourth Arab-Israeli War. Reports coming from the war zone are rapidly forcing even the most reluctant people to make a judgment. The Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS), which is the army of Gaza, has violated every norm of civilized warfare by commanding its invading forces to commit an incredible series of atrocities. These acts include kidnap of civilians, rape, and murder. (One expects an army to take military prisoners but not civilian prisoners. And the killing of a helpless civilian, especially a child, constitutes murder.) HAMAS denies this, as CNAV would expect them to do under the circumstances. As CNAV said yesterday, sympathizers with HAMAS started with denying it, not being willing to judge such atrocious acts. But now that testimony to these atrocities becomes incontrovertible, the sympathizers radically changed their tune. There are four ways I can defend murder. Number one, it wasn’t murder – suicide or accidental. Number two, you didn’t do it. Number three, you were legally justified, say in the protection of your home, or self-defense. Number four, the killing was excusable. Actor James Stewart, as Paul Biegler, Attorney at law, in Anatomy of a Murder (1959). From “they didn’t do it” to “we should excuse them” After four days of saying, “We/they didn’t do it” (or “it never happened”), now they’re saying the victims deserved it. Very plainly they are saying those that have suffered and died from these atrocities, are legitimate substitutionary proxies for their government, which has oppressed the Gazans. (Some of them are simply running away from questioners, as Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., did. And absurdly, Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela actually says Jesus was a Palestinian Arab!) https://rumble.com/v3ofdsw-squad-member-rashida-tlaib-confronted-about-hamas-chopping-off-babys-heads.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6 As Dr. Turley’s video depicts, Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-defamation League, has exploded in outrage. This time, he has reason. However often he has cried “Wolf!” before, the villagers have seen the wolf for themselves. But – unfortunately for the leftist coalition – this particular wolf is a part of the coalition. Worse yet, no one on the left is even offering to try to reconcile the differences involved. So now, as the Israeli Air Force reduces swaths of Gaza City and other Gaza towns to rubble, the shoe squeezes the other foot. As some leftists cry out that the civilians in Gaza did nothing to deserve death, others ask what about the rights of those who died in even more violent and humiliating ways? Furthermore, the civilians of Gaza might indeed be dying of their own immediate choices. The Israel Defense Forces warned them. HAMAS ordered the population it guards to ignore the warnings. Furthermore they have a history of hiding munitions and conducting operational planning inside hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, and the like. Further signs of widening conflict The situation in Judea and Samaria is interesting in itself. The King of Jordan seems to be sending troops toward the Jordan River, intent on repeating the Six-day War. https://twitter.com/ShermanShock/status/1712155020240544029 While they approach, convoys of women and children are trying to cross into Jordan, according to Frontline News. The IDF have let them pass – but the Jordanians might have stopped them. https://twitter.com/ShermanShock/status/1712113267764584596 https://twitter.com/ShermanShock/status/1712193112112545888 In Gaza, the founder and head of HAMAS wants Muslims the world over to rise up and march on Jerusalem. D-Day is this upcoming Friday. https://rumble.com/v3oh9rk-hamas-leader-khalid-mashals-chilling-call-for-global-muslim-uprising-on-fri.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6 “Brother Rachid,” a convert to Christ from Islam, shared a rough translation: https://twitter.com/BrotherRasheed/status/1711933917098316276 And here in America, Black Lives Matter Chicago dropped a post, which they later deleted – after someone screencapped it. https://twitter.com/JackLinFLL/status/1712098589504155868 Rep.

(Source: The New York Post.) Google Docs originally hosted it but now seem to have scrubbed it. DocumentCloud, however, did not. That letter provoked shocked – and negative – reaction. https://twitter.com/vtchakarova/status/1711261506040402029 https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/1711153384953348169 https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1711404354945569061 A former President of Harvard dropped this thread, eloquent of outrage and profound sadness: https://twitter.com/LHSummers/status/1711421307227607255 https://twitter.com/LHSummers/status/1711421311514210752 https://twitter.com/LHSummers/status/1711421315377177080 https://twitter.com/LHSummers/status/1711421319751872923 One would almost expect him to tear his dress shirt on the strength of it. But one other user pointed out that he bears much of the blame. https://twitter.com/junogsp7/status/1711704622807515455 More to the point, The Harvard Crimson reports that many of the students involved are now on a hiring blacklist. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/1711788747086233661 https://twitter.com/AzPinkLady/status/1711882145747341340 https://twitter.com/BongBong/status/1712154642594091322 https://twitter.com/JonnyNemo/status/1711792010292572647 The idiocy – and the outrage in reaction – did not limit itself to Harvard. https://twitter.com/ShefVaidya/status/1711947202275484114 https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1711778881626341720 All of which to say that the world now sees a demonstration of coalition fracture. The leftist coalition has cleaved as neatly as a steak under a butcher’s knife. Coalition fracture – on the right Less obviously, the rightist coalition is just as vulnerable to fracture, which only a serious logical inquiry can prevent. A significant number of conservative influencers also have tried to deny the HAMAS atrocities. They know they could never, ever, excuse such behavior. So they point to previous examples of “atrocity propaganda,” from the Irish Rebellion to Operations Desert Shield/Storm and Enduring Freedom. They assume that the atrocity stories have no more basis in fact than the lurid tales of: • Iraqi soldiers taking newborns out of incubators in Kuwaiti hospitals as they invaded that emirate, or • Chemical and biological weapons stocks and mobile laboratories in Iraq. The first of those stories relied on only one witness, and the “mobile labs” of the second were “duds.” But the HAMAS atrocity stories are too well-supported by now. CNAV would challenge any of these influencers to look a mother in the eye and suggest that she should “roll with” the loss of her baby in the interest of world peace. These influencers say they fear conscription and deployment of Americans into the Negev theater – or a larger theater. Thus far neither the State of Israel nor the IDF have requested such a thing. Instead, young Jewish adults are flying in from all over the world – to enlist. https://twitter.com/_TeluguIndustry/status/1712128094411075693 https://rumble.com/v3ok9jj-inspiring-plane-of-jewish-youths-from-peru-touches-down-in-israel-with-youn.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6 Israel would want to fight its own war Nor would the IDF necessarily want a larger American expeditionary force, with its own commander, to move in. (And likely take over, as did General of the Army Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower.) More likely they will reactivate the 1948-era Machal (Mitnadvei Chutz LaAretz, literally Volunteers from Outside the Land). Or perhaps make do with merchandise credits for replacement aircraft, vehicles, and munitions. Furthermore, the last time the U.S. Navy had ships anywhere near the combat zone of an Arab-Israeli War, one of those ships suffered strafing, then hits from torpedoes: USS Liberty AGTR-5. Those were accidents, but Liberty became and remains a focal point for antisemitic sentiment on the right. For that reason, a few influencers are very quick to believe that Israel likes to trick people into supporting them when they shouldn’t. The appalling intelligence failure that let HAMAS do what it has done, fuels the paranoid flames. Two visions of the end of history But a misunderstanding of Scripture lies at the heart of most, maybe all, of this “anti-Zionist” sentiment. This misunderstanding is in the area of Scriptural interpretation (“hermeneutics,” from the Greek word for “interpretation”) called eschatology. From eschar a burned-out thing and logos a word, eschatology is the study of the Last Happenings on Earth. St. John of Jerusalem, while in exile on an island called Patmos, received there a Revelation, which he wrote down. This was a prophecy – a vision of the future. The Christian Church at first believed this prophecy unfulfilled. But after centuries – indeed a millennium – passed after the birth of Christ, Christians came to believe that John’s prophecy is fulfilled. Which would mean that God is Finished with ethnic Israel. Accordingly, the re-establishment of something called “Israel” in modern times, becomes an affront to Christ, according to that view. But beginning with John Nelson Darby in the early nineteenth century, Christians began to question whether all prophecy was fulfilled. Most Christians ignored his new doctrines of Dispensationalism and, more relevant here, Futurism. They much preferred Preterism, the notion that all prophecy was indeed fulfilled. They also preferred its companion doctrine: Covenantalism, which presumes that the promises God made to Abraham now belong to the Church, not to ethnic Israel. A Titanic reassessment Then, on April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m., the Royal Merchant Ship Titanic struck an iceberg and eventually sank. Because an unnamed deck hand had once said, “Not even God can sink this ship!”, Christians took notice. Then they turned away from doctrines like Preterism, because they suggested that the role of Christ’s followers would be to roll out the red carpet for Him upon His return, as if they were His triumphal vanguard. (And no doubt hailing Jesus Marshal (Latin Imperator) on the field, and crying the English equivalent of Io triumphe!) Such arrogant, overweaning pride struck them as the sort of thing that had brought about the Titanic disaster. Futurism, with its emphasis on a test-to-destruction (Greek Peirasmos) to come, now became far more attractive. But: Futurism dictates the re-establishment of a nation-state called Israel and the rebuilding of the Temple. Whether any of these musings influenced the decision to accept the recommendations of Lord Balfour to grant the Jews a homeland, in return for services rendered to the British Crown and Allied Powers in World War One, none can guess. But today, eschatological Futurism informs Christian support for Israel. Preterism, on the other hand, informs the contrary notion that modern Israel is worse than a waste of time. Preventing coalition fracture with logic Preterism suffers from the obvious weakness that a thousand years of peace has never been a part of human history. Futurism takes its strength from the very re-establishment of Israel, a thing once thought impossible to accomplish or even imagine. Sadly, antisemitic commentaries and commentators have infiltrated Dr. Steve Turley’s “nationalist populist right.” For that reason, the rightist coalition is just as vulnerable to coalition fracture as the left. Preventing that fracture requires serious study of the Bible, and an understanding of its many prophecies in addition to John’s Revelation that remain unfulfilled. And CNAV would hope that sincere Christians would recognize the folly of making common cause with a revisionist religion, and one that teaches lying and slaughter as situational virtues (“Fight and slay the infidels!”, etc.), for no better reason than to excuse atrocity, deny the continued existence of evil – or in a vain attempt to atone for the attack on a ship that ought never have strayed into someone else’s hot zone, as USS Liberty did.
