TOP STORIES

DID ISRAELI SOLDIERS AID AND ABET HAMAS’ OPERATION AL-AQSA FLOOD? – An Iranian news outlet is alleging Hamas was able to successfully execute its operation dubbed “Operation Al Aqsa Flood” in large part to aid it received from Israeli soldiers, and that aid did not come merely through intelligence, or not reporting emerging threats, but that is constituted “material aid.” GO DEEPER
REPORTS OF HAMAS BEHEADING, KILLING BABIES IN KIBBUTZ – According to numerous news outlets around the world, when Hamas invaded Israel in its Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, they targeted border kibbutz’ for systemic genocidal execution, which included beheading babies. Reports claim 40 bodies of babies have been recovered so far in the invaded homes within the kibbutz, specifically at Kibbutz Kfar Aza. GO DEEPER
ANTI-WOKE ACTIVIST INVESTOR MAKES SECOND RUN AT DISNEY – Nelson Peltz is renewing his efforts to fundamentally transform the media giant and now DNC-CCP agitprop machine Walt Disney. He hopes to get seats on the board for himself and his investment firm, Trian Fund Management, after increasing their stake in the failing company to $2.5 billion. He made a move similar to this last year but backed off after former CEO Bob Chapik was fired and his predecessor, Bob Iger, replaced him, promising to make the necessary changes. GO DEEPER
MCCARTHY LIED, HE WILL SEEK SPEAKERSHIP, AND HE’LL USE ISRAEL TO DO IT – Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is already going back on his claims he won’t seek the House Speakership this time around, and he’s using the Israel-Hamas war as a justification for betraying his initial claims.
What’s more, DNC-CCP plants in the RNC (which is most of the leadership and a majority of its members) are with him in exploiting the deaths of thousands for their own political ambition, to keep their well-paid jobs in exchange for blunting any real effective opposition to the globe-first cult they tacitly support.
TIKTOK RUN BY CCP AGENTS – Two Senators have sent off a letter to TikTok demanding answers about an allegation their hiring practices include assuring the company has well-placed Chinese Communist Party operatives within it at the highest levels. This seems to be done to assure the data they are collecting reaches the CCP and the algorithms that promote or hinder content are created to favor CCP interests.
What they hope to accomplish is mainly the further self-hating degradation of American society and the capturing of sensitive data that can be used against American citizens that gain any prominent role in our society. The Senators are Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)

HOUSE REPORT SUGGESTS HAMAS-LIKE OPERATIVES ALLOWED TO CROSS OUR OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER – The House Judiciary Committee is alleging that a DHS security report shows millions of illegal aliens have entered our country without any effort to document who they are and where they came from. The data from the report shows “Between January 20, 2021, and March 31, 2023, there were over 5 million illegal alien encounters. Of these encounters, at least 2,464,424 had no confirmed departure from the United States. During the same period, DHS released at least 2,148,738 illegal aliens into the United States. Only 5,993 illegal aliens encountered at the southwest border and placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge were actually removed from the United States during this time.”
The findings are particularly troubling in the wake of the Israel attacks as nationals from around the world, including the Middle East, are reported to be among the millions this regime has allowed to freely enter our country.
BIDEN ALL BUT CONFIRMS AMERICAN HOSTAGES TAKEN BY HAMAS IN ISRAELI ATTACKS – President Biden confirmed in a speech addressing the attack on Israel by Hamas that 11 American citizens were killed in the assault and 14 Americans have been taken captive. He said “While we are still working to confirm, we believe it is likely that American citizens may be among those being held by Hamas. I have directed my team to work with their Israeli counterparts on every aspect of the hostage crisis, including sharing intelligence and deploying experts from across the United States government to consult with and advise Israeli counterparts on hostage recovery efforts.”

MYANMAR JUNTA RUNNING OUT OF ENERGY – The Myanmar Junta has been counting on its de facto ally Russia to supply it with desperately needed energy, but that source doesn’t appear to be able or willing to supply the full energy needs of the ruling Junta. The Junta hopes to have Russia help it build an oil refinery that will help the country’s energy needs.
ENTIRE ARMENIAN CITY DESERTED OVER FEARS OF AZERBAIJANIS GENOCIDING THEM – An Armenian city inside the disputed region of Ngoro-Karabakh has been abandoned over fears the approaching Azerbaijanis would kill them all. The city is Stepanakert, which is now entirely emptied, all 100,000, during the month of September.

HUNTER BIDEN ASSURED PARTNERS “LEGAL STUFF” WILL DISAPPEAR WITH DAD’S PRESIDENTIAL VICTORY – The Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, aka Joe Biden, is alleged to have purged the system of any serious legal threats to its partner in crime Hunter Biden, and that Hunter assured his partners in a letter CNN allegedly possess that his Dad would do just what he did if he got elected, get rid of the “legal stuff” plaguing the family enterprise of trading American interests to foreign powers in exchange for millions in illegal funds to family members. The claim was made by an IRS agent who testified under oath to the House and Ways Committee.
ANOTHER PERSON TESTIFIES SPECIAL PROSECUTOR HAD NO POWER TO UNILATERALLY CHARGE HUNTER BIDEN OF ANYTHING – One of Joe Biden’s own appointed cabinet members, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, testified before a GOP-led House Judiciary Committee that he was one of the people that denied efforts by Special Prosecutor David Weiss to charge Hunter Biden of tax evasion crimes. The testimony is another confirmation that, contradicting claims made by Weiss himself, he had independent power to charge Biden of anything. It also contradicts under-oath testimony by DNC-CCP operative and Attorney General Merrick Garland that he gave Weiss independent power to charge Hunter if he so chose to do so.

CHINA (WEEKLY)

CCP MEMBER OWNS WEALTHY PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK – The New York Post is reporting that a number of wealthy private schools in New York City are owned by a man who is also a top member of the Chinese Communist Party. The schools comprise the Basis Independent Schools (BIS) district. It has two campuses in Manhattan and two in Brooklyn. The district caters to students in Kindergarten through Twelfth grade with a yearly tuition of $44,500. The company is the Spring Education Group (SEG), which is owned by Primavera Capital Group (PGC) whose CEO, Fred Zuliu Hu, is a top-level member of the CCP.
CHINA FORCES UYGHURS TO PROCESS YOUR FROZEN FISH – The New Yorker is reporting, if your seafood came from China, there’s a good chance it was processed by slave labor, and an even better chance it was processed by minorities the CCP hopes to genocide, including the Uyghurs from the Xinjiang region. No report on how such news will affect the ESG scores of the companies buying goods from the CCP-controlled companies managing these slaves, but this writer suspects it won’t affect their scores at all, as slaves are fine in the ESG dystopian nightmare “American” corporatists seem to want to force on Americans as well.

PEOPLE ADVANCE (WEEKLY)

“SANCTUARY” CITY WANTS ILLEGALS TO KNOW THEY’RE NOT WELCOME HERE – The DNC-CCP controlled city of Denver Colorado virtue signaled its love of lawless migration by declaring itself a sanctuary city. Now the virtue has met reality in the wake of Biden’s seditious open border policy and the blue city now wants border officials to hand flyers to illegal immigrants that instruct them not to come to the city because they’re not welcome to the sanctuary city no more.
The move shows the DNC-CCP operatives are now finally coming face to face with the insane high cost of their terrible policies and are not willing to pay the price for these policies themselves when they continue to be more than happy to make the rest of us pay the cost of their toxic beliefs on a daily basis.
ISRAEL SHOWS GUN CONTROL IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE THEIR COUNTRY – After the brutal assault on Israel by Hamas that left over 1,000 murdered, including women and children, the beleaguered nation is now prepared to relax its stringent gun control laws. Having experienced the cost of leaving your population vulnerable to assaults by terror elements from without (and within), the nation is now prepared to give its citizens their God-given right to protect themselves against all enemies, foreign or domestic.
Yet the DNC-CCP continues to push for gun confiscations in an effort to make us as vulnerable to assaults by bad actors with guns as the Israelis became by their own government when Hamas showed up to murder them in their homes.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
