Bombshell: Biden Administration Has Been
Hiding Intel on Location of Hamas Leaders
in Betrayal of Israel

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/12/2024 9:20:32 PM

Joe Biden has been hiding intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas leaders and their command tunnels, depriving Israel of vital information that could lead to an end to the war. That revelation came in a report on Saturday and was framed as the administration offering that information now if the ongoing operation in Rafah is canceled. The story first broke in The Washington Post, with the paper describing the offer as follows. The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location

This is another example of the NoBama/Vegetable corollary of governance-- That is, whatever would be the the most normal or best action or policy to promulgate, DO THE OPPOSITE There have been stories that FDR had foreknowledge that Axis power Japan was going to do something to destroy the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, even though the details were vague as to when since we had broken their coded messages. He did not take action because unless the U.S. was attacked, we would not do more than lend-lease armaments and equipment to the Brits. If this was true, we could have had mimimized the damage, but other than the Carriers being at sea away from Pearl, our battleships were devastated. In almost EVERY scenario over the last three and a half years, the NoBama/Vegetable corollary has done the opposite of what should have been done, and the American people are being torn apart with plans to use government agencies against the citizen.

Just like the blacks are waking up to the fact that democrats are not their friend, hopefully the Jewish community comes to the same conclusion. Democrats want black votes and Jewish money. It’s as simple as that and as soon as they get what they want, they forget you and the promises made. Biden is racist and antisemitic just like 90% of the democrat party.

Why is anyone surprised by this? Given that Biden has opened the cash flow to Iran, let the taliban gave Afghanistan, and let millions just walk over our southern border; why wouldn't he hide the location of Hamas terrorist leaders hiding in Gaza after murdering over 1200 Israelis and hidden behind Palestinian civilians.

I find it hard to believe that the U.S.A. has better Intel on Hamas than the IDF. Fancy satellites and cyber-snooping equipment doesn't equal well integrated and embedded spies on the ground. Israel has the world's best intel through Mossad. On the other hand, perhaps someone in Israel (Bibi?) has decided that it's high time the leftist twits running this US Federal government be flushed out, and into the open, for their public "tar and feathering?"

At least GW Bush was right about one thing: "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists." What is going on here? Why was that guy who supposedly "got more votes than any presidential candidate in history" caught hiding information critical to pinpointing terrorist locations? When you have cowards using abused hostages, women, and children as human shields, why would you NOT want to deal with them right now, right where they are, while limiting collateral damage?

Biden is a traitorous, walking puppet of Obama, but I seriously doubt if the USA has any intelligence that Mossad is not already aware of. More likely, Mossad knows it all already (witness: pre-emptive Israeli missile strikes in Rafah last week), but have chosen to be very selective to better manage world opinion What this does point out, however, is the complete incompetence of Biden's entire administration...exactly what to expect when the head guy is a walking dementia case, and all his cabinet secretaries were chosen, not for their relevant expertise, but for their wokeness.

I'm not going to get too upset about this, because I rather imagine that the Mossad , Shin Bet and Aman know much more about where Hamas is than the US CIA, FBI and DSS does. The only thing that the 0'Biden Regime would know more about Hamas than Israel, is if 0bama has some hiding out at his houses, or Joe is hiding some out at his houses. So, unless Israel needs to know where American 'White Supremacists', 'Christian Pro-Lifers' and people who honor the Constitution are, I doubt that our 'intelligence agencies' could be much help.

House Judiciary votes to hold Garland

The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced a measure to hold in contempt Attorney General Merrick Garland in an 18-15 party line vote, a step Republicans on the House Oversight panel are also expected to take later this evening. A last-minute move from President Biden to claim executive privilege over audio recordings from his interview with special counsel Robert Hur did not dissuade the GOP from proceeding, even as Garland said those asserting the privilege “cannot be prosecuted for criminal contempt of Congress.”

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the funding structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is legal. The court rejected an argument that the CFPB's funding method violated the U.S. Constitution's Appropriations Clause because Congress had not annually authorized money for the agency. Instead, Congress authorized the CFPB to draw funding from the Federal Reserve system that the agency's director deems necessary for its work. The 7-2 ruling, whose majority opinion was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative, reversed a decision by the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Three other conservatives, and the court's three liberal justices, joined in the majority opinion.

President Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege over the recordings of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur, according to letters from the White House and Justice Department to House Republicans. Republican lawmakers had previously subpoenaed the audio recordings of Biden’s interviews, along with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer and other items from Hur’s investigation into Biden’s handling of classified information. The House Oversight and Judiciary committees are scheduled to begin the process of holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with those subpoenas on Thursday.

More believe the economy will “get better” if former President Donald Trump is elected in November, and more believe it will get “worse” if President Joe Biden wins a second term, a weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov found. Overall, a plurality, 47 percent, said the economy will “get worse,” while just 21 percent predicted that the economy will “get better” if Biden, 81, is reelected. Another 21 percent said it will “stay the same.” Notably, a plurality of independents, 47 percent, also believe the economy will “get worse” if Biden is reelected, compared to 12 percent who believe it will get better.

In Europe's first major assault on a state leader since the assassination of Olaf Palme in Sweden in the 1980s, a socialist opened fire and injured Slovakia's conservative prime minister, Robert Fico Wednesday. He held a lot of controversial views and stances on causes dear to the globalist crowd, but there is no clear motive thus far. Still, there has been interesting speculation as to what it might mean. Slovakia is a small country and not viewed as particularly pivotal, but David Goldman, who knows a thing or million about geopolitics and realpolitick, thinks it may be bringing Europe closer to war.

The White House has criticized Israel in the past for the slow pace of humanitarian aid delivery, as well as for recent attacks by right-wing activists on aid trucks, but struggled Wednesday to criticize Egypt for blocking aid to Gaza. Egypt has been blocking the passage of aid trucks into Gaza ever since Israel seized control of the Rafah Crossing, on the Egyptian-Gaza border, last week. Egypt opposes Israel’s operation in Gaza to defeat the last Hamas battalions. On Wednesday, Jake Turx, the White House correspondent for the Orthodox Jewish magazine Ami, asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to react to Egypt’s actions. Jean-Pierre appeared to dodge the question.

China’s state-run Global Times propaganda newspaper dismissed on Monday growing criticism from President Joe Biden and his administration toward Israel as a last-minute “stopgap measure” to prevent a growing number of voters on the left from abandoning his 2024 presidential campaign. Chinese regime-approved “experts” told the newspaper that Biden’s “superficial criticism” was a response to polls and not an indication of Biden’s political views. The state outlet claimed that the change in tone was indicative of America’s “hypocrisy” and a “double face” intended to amass power, one that has led to American global influence “declining immensely.” The same Global Times suggested in November, a month after the October 7 massacre

It’s a long list of possible names for the increasingly important vice presidential job, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates. As part of our monthly national online poll, taken from May 1-3, we asked 538 Republicans, and those who lean that way, two questions about who they preferred as Trump’s vice president. The poll has a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points. First we asked a straightforward question: “Who is your top choice for Trump’s vice president?”

As CalMatters noted, deficit estimates ranged from $38 billion to $73 billion: That prompted Newsom and the Legislature to take “early action” last month to reduce the deficit by more than $17 billion ahead of the regular budget process. Their plan included some program cuts, but mostly relied on new revenue, internal borrowing and funding delays and shifts for savings,
